TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager Date: April 22, 2015
Agenda Topic: Planning and Zoning Commission Appointments
Summary
The Community Development Department received seven (7) applications for five (5) open positions on the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission (“PZC”). The positions are set to expire on May 1,
2015. There will be three (3) two year terms and two (2) one year terms assigned. Appointment of
members to the PZC is included on the April 28, 2015 Regular Town Council meeting agenda. Below is a summary of the positions expiring and the continuing members:
Expiring Terms (5/1/15 Term Expiration) *Jim Clancy Beaver Creek Resort / Avon Resident
*Tab Bonidy Architect, Tab & Associates / Avon Resident
*Lindsay Hardy Real Estate / Avon Resident
*Members with expiring terms that have re-applied
Continuing Members (with 5/1/16 Term Expiration) John Minervini Retired / Avon Resident
Phil Struve Retired / Avon Resident
Vacated Seats (with 5/1/16 Term Expiration)
Scott Prince Elected to Town Council
David Baum Relocated out of State
Background The role of the PZC is to review and recommend to the Town Council desirable or necessary
modifications to the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations, and to review and approve design
review procedures and criteria as they relate to the zoning ordinance. The PZC acts as the Design Review Board of the Town and performs all duties and exercises related thereto. Making
recommendations to Comprehensive Planning documents, updates to long range plans and special
projects and assignments is another essential function of the PZC.
Given the dual role in dealing with both zoning and design review authority for the Town, the Avon
Municipal Code recognizes that a balance in membership is necessary between the lay community
and industry professionals.
PZC Appointments
April 28, 2015 Town Council Meeting Page 2 of 5
Municipal Code Requirements – Attachment A The Avon Municipal Code (‘AMC”) requires that at least five (5) members shall be registered electors
of the Town at the time of their appointment. The AMC also recommends that a minimum of two (2)
to three (3) industry professionals hold positions at all times, and that two (2) of these professionals be architects, landscape architects or designers.
After consideration has been given first to industry professionals, the AMC states that Council should
then consider the following criteria in descending order:
1. Registered electors of the Town shall be preferred over persons who are not registered
electors.
2. Persons having special skills and experience of particular value to the Commission should be preferred over persons who do not.
Applicants – Attachment B As of Tuesday, April 23, 2015, the Town received seven (7) applications for the open seats, three of whom are current members of the Board. The cover letters/resumes for those applying are attached
to this report for your review as Attachment B. During the Regular Meeting on April 28, 2015, the agenda includes time to interview each applicant. The interview order is as follows:
1. Jim Clancy (current PZC Chairman) 2. Tab Bonidy (current PZC member)
3. Lindsay Hardy (current PZC member)
4. Jared Barnes 5. Chris Lubbers
6. Courtney Gregory
7. William Glaner
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council seek insight into each applicant’s interests and added value carrying out work in the following areas of work in the next two years:
Comprehensive Plan Update
Multi-modal Planning
Community Survey
Walkability
Design Review/Zoning
After interviews, Council will vote (open or closed) on the five appointments. Since two of the seats
are one (1) year vacancies it is fair to ask each applicant, if they were selected, whether there is interest in one (1) year versus two (2) term.
Attachments A – Avon Municipal Code §7.12.040, Planning and Zoning Commission
B – Cover Letters/Resumes
Attachment A
7.12.040 Planning and Zoning Commission.
(a) Establishment and Purpose. There is hereby established a Planning and Zoning Commission of the
Town. The purposes of the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) are as follows:
(1) To implement the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
(2) To guide and accomplish a coordinated, adjusted and harmonious development of the Town and its environs, that will, in accordance with present and future needs, best promote health, safety, morals,
order, convenience, prosperity, quality of life and general welfare, as well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other things, adequate provision for traffic, the promotion
of safety from fire, floodwaters and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of healthful and convenient distribution of population, the promotion of good civic design and arrangement,
wise and efficient expenditure of public funds and the adequate provision of public utilities and other public requirements;
(3) To promote health and general welfare; to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding or inefficient use of land; to avoid undue concentration or dispersal of population; and to
facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements;
(4) To preserve the natural beauty of the Town's site and setting; to prevent indiscriminate clearing of property, removal of trees and earthmoving; and to attain the objectives set out in the Development Code
through design review of the exterior design of all new structures and property development and additions to all existing structures and property development.
(5) The PZC shall serve as a design review board for the Town. The purposes of the PZC when acting as the design review board are as follows:
(i) To ensure that the architectural design of vertical structures and their materials and colors conform with the Town's overall appearance, with surrounding development if appropriate, with natural and existing
landforms, with the standards identified in the Development Code and with officially approved development plans, if any, for the areas in which the structures are proposed to be located;
(ii) To ensure that the location and configuration of vertical structures, including signs and signage,
are contextually appropriate to their sites and with surrounding sites and structures if appropriate and that the structures and signage conform to the requirements of the Development Code;
(iii) To ensure that plans for the landscaping of property and open spaces conform with the rules and regulations as prescribed by the Town and to provide appropriate settings for vertical structures
on the same site and on adjoining and nearby sites as determined by the Development Code; and
(iv) To prevent excessive or unsightly grading of property that could cause disruption of natural
watercourses or scar natural landforms.
(b) Duties. The PZC shall have the following functions and duties:
(1) Review development applications, amendments to the Avon Comprehensive Plan and amendments to this Development Code, provide recommendations to the Town Council and render
decisions as such authority is indicated in this Chapter 7.12;

(2) Upon request and direction by the Council, make and recommend plans for the physical development of the Town, including any areas outside its boundaries, subject to the approval of the
legislative or governing body having jurisdiction thereof;
(3) Upon request and direction of the Council, conduct research, prepare studies, review other matters which
are related to the present conditions and future growth of the Town, and provide comments and recommendations thereon to the Council; and
(4) Review and make recommendations to the Council about the design of proposed development,
with due regard for design standards of this Development Code and other design criteria and guidelines adopted by the Town, code text amendments that address design review procedures and criteria and any
design review guidelines for the Town relating to bulk and design regulations to be imposed or that establish design standards for specific uses, types of uses, parking standards, streetscapes or other
similar items.
(c) Membership. The PZC shall be composed of seven (7) members appointed by the Council.
(d) Qualifications of Members. Registered electors residing in the County shall be eligible for appointment, but at least five (5) members shall be registered electors of the Town at the time of their appointment to the PZC. The
composition of PZC shall strive to achieve a balance in the membership between the lay community and industry professionals (architects, landscape architects, designers, real estate developers and/or contractors) in
order to efficiently and effectively perform the design review functions of the PZC. Appointments should be made first to maintain the balance between industry professionals and the lay community (it is recommended
that a minimum of two [2] to three [3] industry professionals hold positions on the PZC at all times and that two [2] of these professionals be architects, landscape architects or designers). Registered electors of the Town
should be preferred over persons who are not registered electors. Persons having special skills and experience of particular value to the PZC should be preferred over persons who do not.
(e) Quorum. Four (4) members of the PZC shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but in
the absence of a quorum, a lesser number shall adjourn any meeting to a later time or date. In the absence of all members, any staff member shall adjourn any meeting to a later time or date.
(f) Term. The term of office for a member shall be two (2) years on an overlapping tenure. A member of the PZC who ceases to possess the qualifications for office that the member possessed at the time of
appointment may be permitted by the Council to serve until the end of the appointed term, provided that the PZC member continues to reside in the County. A member of the PZC may be removed by Council
pursuant to Subsection (h), Removal from Office, below.
(g) Vacancies. A vacancy on the PZC shall occur whenever a member of the PZC is removed by the
Council, dies, becomes incapacitated and unable to perform the required duties for a period of ninety (90) days, resigns, ceases to be a registered elector of the County or is convicted of a felony. In the event a
vacancy occurs, the Council shall appoint a successor to fill the vacancy and serve the remainder of the term of the former member.
(h) Removal from Office. A member of the PZC may be removed for misconduct, conduct unbecoming of a Town official, violation of the Town's code of ethics, inefficiency or more than two (2) unexcused
absences within a twelve-month period. Prior to removal, Council shall conduct a hearing and shall provide written notice to the PZC member stating the grounds for removal at least three (3) days prior to
the hearing.

proposed rules or any amendment to the rules to the Council, which by motion shall approve the rules or amendment and direct their adoption by the PZC or disapprove the proposal with directions for revision
and resubmission. The rules shall be filed with the Town Clerk and maintained in the records of the Town and shall be subject to public inspection. The PZC may provide for certain variances, exceptions and
exemptions from the requirements of its rules and regulations.
(m) Meetings. The PZC shall meet in accordance with the rules of procedure governing the PZC and otherwise
upon the call of the chairperson or, in the absence of the chair, by the vice chairperson. All meetings shall be held at the offices of the Town, unless otherwise specified, with adequate notice given to all interested parties.
(n) Material to be submitted. The PZC shall adopt rules and regulations including procedures and
schedules for applications requiring action by the PZC.
(o) Agenda. The PZC may schedule the review of applications on the next available agenda when the
next agenda is full and will likely result in an overly long meeting.
(p) Authority to Retain Consultants. The PZC is authorized to retain the services of one (1) or more consultants,

TOWN COUNCIL COVER REPORT
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager
Date: April 23, 2015
Agenda Topic: PUBLIC HEARING – 2nd Reading of Ordinance 15-03 & Ordinance 15-04
Planning Case Numbers - #REZ15001, #REZ15002, #CPA15001, & #CPA15002
Buck Creek Medical Office Building & Police/Fire Joint Facility
Summary
Before Council is the Second Reading and Public Hearing of Ordinance 15-03 and Ordinance 15-
04, approving two (2) rezoning and two (2) Comprehensive Plan Amendment applications
related to the development of a Medical Office Building and joint Police/Fire Public Safety Facility
on Lots 1A and 1B, Buck Creek. First Readings were approved on April 21, 2015. This
Memorandum summaries the changes since the April 21s 2015 meeting, and includes Council’s
available actions for the Public Hearing on April 28, 2015. Attached are updated Ordinances and
Mitigation formulas proposed by the Applicant.
Updates
Deed Restriction
First, NexCore Group offered to provide a Deed Restriction (Lot 1A) enforceable by the Town to
limit the permitted uses on the Property. The Deed Restriction is provided as attachment to
Ordinance 15-03; it excludes certain uses (i.e. Hotel, Motel, Lodge) from the list of allowed uses
for the Mixed Commercial (MC) Zone District to mirror those allowed in the Neighborhood
Commercial (NC) Zone District with one exception – “Medical Center/Hospital”.
Mitigation
The second change to the Ordinance is the addition of a payment-in-lieu figure for mitigation of
off-site improvements. A single payment of $10,000 is proposed for two items: 1) construction
of a new bus stop, pull off, and shelter (currently scheduled for construction in 2015) adjacent to
the Property, and 2) construction of a future trail connection through Tract V, connecting the
Property to the recreation path adjacent to Interstate 70. The Applicant’s mitigation formulas
are attached to this Memorandum, and equate to approximately 10% of the total estimated
construction costs for these off-site improvements.
Available Council Actions
Pursuant to the Avon Development Code, the Avon Town Council has the following available
actions with respect to the Applications:
1. Approval of Ordinance 15-03 and Ordinance 15-04 on 2nd Reading, and authorizing the
Town Clerk to post the Ordinances for thirty (30) days.

certain. The Avon Development Code allows for the continuation of a public hearing for a
maximum of sixty-five (65) days.
3. Deny one or more applications by approving a motion, along with Findings of Fact which
document that the decision(s) are based upon determination that the development
application(s) do not comply with the applicable review criteria.

Avon MOB LLC Impact Mitigation Contribution Methodology
Bike Path Connector
Applicant’s contribution to the Bike Path Connector is calculated on the basis of a pro rata share of the
total estimated cost of constructing Bike Path Connector, which would be located between the
Recreation Path and Nottingham Road. The Town of Avon staff has estimated the cost to construct the
Bike Path Connector to be $50,000. Applicant’s pro rata share shall be determined by dividing the total
acreage of Lot 1A by the total acreage in District 13 – Nottingham Road Commercial District. Lot 1A
consists of +/- 2.17 acres and District 13 consists of +/- 27.25 acres. Therefore Applicant will contribute
7.96% (2.17/27.25) of the cost of Bike Path Connector, but no less than $3,980. Notwithstanding the
calculation methodology contained herein, the Applicant is willing to contribute $5,000 toward the
construction of the Bike Path Connector.
Bus Stop Shelter
Applicant’s contribution to the cost of constructing the Bus Stop Shelter is calculated on the basis of a
pro rata share of the total estimated cost of constructing the Bus Stop Shelter. The Town of Avon staff
has estimated the cost to construct the Bus Stop Shelter (including site preparation and associated
pavement widening) to be $50,000. Applicant’s pro rata share shall be determined by dividing
estimated annual total number of bus trips that the Buck Creek Medical Plaza is expected to produce by
the annual total ridership of the Town of Avon “Black Line” bus route. According to the Avon Transit
Department the annual total ridership of the Town of Avon “Black Line” bus route is approximately
130,000 persons per year. The estimated annual total number of bus trips that the Buck Creek Medical
Plaza may produce is approximately 5,000. The estimate of 5,000 additional riders is based on an
estimate that 10% of approximately 100 employees of the Medical Plaza would use bus transportation
daily (2 trips), 5-days per week, for 50 weeks annually. The traffic engineering firm of Felsburg Holt &
Ullevig confirmed through independent estimating methodology (using Institute of Transportation
Engineers data) that Applicant’s estimate is a reasonable approximation of potential additional ridership
that the Medical Plaza may produce, including ridership by patients. Therefore Applicant’s pro rata
share would be 3.85% of the cost of the Bus Stop Shelter (5,000/130,000). Notwithstanding the
calculation methodology contained herein, Applicant is willing to contribute $5,000 toward the
construction cost of the Bus Stop Shelter.
Total payment-in-lieu amount will be $10,000 for off-site improvements.

Initial Development Concept for Lots 1A & 1B
The following schematic design was developed to represent Nexcorp Group’s desired site layout
for developing Lot 1A with medical office uses, as well as initial programming for Lot 1B to meet
the current and future needs of the ERFPD and Avon Police Department with a joint public safety
facility. The plan demonstrates functional site layout, parking locations, access conditions,
proximity to roadways, and a future bus stop on Swift Gulch Road. The architecture team
worked closely with the Avon Police and ERFPD to develop what both entities’ believed was a
workable schematic design. While preliminary, it validates that a potential 35,900 sf. building is
feasible if the maximum program was pursued for this site.
PUBLIC HEARING – Ordinance 2015-03 & 2015-04 | Medical Office Building & Joint Public Safety Page | 3
Process
Two zoning processes to review and evaluate the proposal were outlined to the Applicant during
pre-application conferences: 1) Major PUD Amendment, and 2) Rezoning. The following
summarizes some of the similarities and differences between the two:
• Major PUD Amendment includes a Preliminary and Final Process, which adds
approximately 2-3 months from start to finish.
• Submittal requirements for Major PUD Amendment includes more information on
drainage, utilities, and natural hazards – typically found with Development Plans.
• Rezoning to standard zone district classification mandates conformance with all
Development Code requirements; PUD Amendments can provide for variances to
Development Code requirements (i.e. less restrictive stream setbacks, taller height, varied
road standards, etc).
• Public Hearings with PZC and Council for both processes.
• Zone Districts can provide more flexibility with building placement and mix of uses as long
as meeting the zone district and development standards; PUD districts provide more
assurance of exact building locations and where uses will occur in a building or within a
site.
In conclusion, the Applicant had the option which process track to select, both providing the
same degree of review (with the Development Plan), but the Rezoning was selected due to its
shorter time schedule to reach a final decision.
Available Council Actions
Pursuant to the Avon Development Code, the Avon Town Council has the following available
actions with respect to the Applications:
1. Approval of Ordinance 2015-03 and Ordinance 2015-04 on 1st Reading, thereby upholding
PZC’s recommendation and setting a Public Hearing date for 2nd Readings on April 28 or
May 12.
2. Continue Ordinance 2015-03 and Ordinance 2015-04 on 1st Reading to a date certain.
The Avon Development Code allows for the continuation of a public hearing for a
maximum of sixty-five (65) days, or not later than the June 9, 2015 meeting.
3. Deny one or more applications by approving a motion, along with Findings of Fact which
document that the decision(s) are based upon determination that the development
application(s) do not comply with the applicable review criteria.

Case #CPA15001 & REZ15001
Rezoning of Lot 1A from PUD to Mixed-Use Commercial and Comprehensive Plan
Amendment from Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed Use Designation
Introduction
The Applicant, Avon MOB, LLC, in a purchase & sale agreement to purchase the site (the “Property”) from the Eagle River Fire Protection District (“Owner”), has submitted a Rezoning application with a
concurrent Comprehensive Plan Amendment application (collectively the “Application”). The Application
is requesting to rezone the property from the current PUD zoning to the Mixed Use Commercial (MC) district and change the comprehensive plan land use designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed
Use. The intended development is for a medical office facility and the Application materials include a written narrative provided by NexCore Group.
Process Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Rezoning: The review process requires review by the Planning and Zoning Commission (“PZC”) and the Town Council. The PZC and Town Council are each required to
conduct a public hearing prior to taking action. After conducting a public hearing the PZC takes action by making a recommendation to the Town Council. The Town Council is then required to conduct a public hearing. Comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings require approval by adoption of an ordinance by
Council. Both the PZC and the Town Council may continue the initial public hearing for additional public hearings up to a maximum of 65 days unless the applicant provides consent to a greater extension.
Major Development Plan: The Applicant is also submitting an application for a Major Development Plan. A Major Development Plan application is reviewed by PZC. PZC is required to conduct a public hearing
for review of Major Development Plan. Although the Major Development Plan is an independent
application, the review process is expected to overlap with this application and staff is supportive of facilitating concurrent review to the extent practical.
Background Originally, the property was platted as Lots 5, 52A and 52B, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Subdivision and zoned Specially Planned Area (SPA). In 1985, the property was replatted as Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Wildwood Resort Subdivision through Ordinance 85-4. The SPA had entitlements for a 150-unit hotel, motel and/or lodge (accommodation) units, together with accessory uses and related commercial
uses. Previous applications proposed between 4 and 6 stories of height with significant surface parking. The Town Council approved the current Buck Creek PUD First Amendment by the adoption of Ordinance 09-08 on August 11, 2009. The Town Council approved the subdivision creating Lots 1A and 1B by
adoption of Resolution No. 09-41 on February 28, 2009. The PUD and Development Plan establish the land use and development standards for the property including but not limited to allowed uses, parking standards, setbacks and density. The current permitted use for Lot 1A is limited to a fire station, including
1
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 2
truck bays, duty quarters, offices, administration, meeting and training rooms, employee housing for fire
district employees, and similar uses.
Property Description Lot 1A is the southernmost lot of the Buck Creek PUD, located adjacent to Nottingham Road and Buck
Creek Road. It is surrounded on the south and west sides by Town right-of-way and future development to the east (Lot 1B). The lot contains 2.17 acres and the topography descends gently from north to south with
Buck Creek running parallel to the west lot line. The property has dry utilities stubbed in, roughly in the center of the lot which will need to be relocated as part of the development. Overlot grading was done several years ago and the surface is generally flat with native grasses holding to the soil.
Application Summary The applicant is proposing a medical office building (MOB) which is not an allowed use in the current
Buck Creek PUD for Lot 1A. In order to develop the property with the intended use, the applicant is required to rezone the property and was provided options to accomplish the desired use. One option is to amend the current PUD to allow the MOB together with primary and ancillary uses. A second option is to
rezone Lot 1A to the Mixed-Use Commercial (MC) designation, established in the Avon Development Code, which expressly permits “Medical and dental clinics and offices”. The advantage to this zone
designation is to provide clear use and development standards in a location that has developed with a
similar mixed-use context.
According to the Avon Development Code, “the MC district is established to group and link places used for
working, shopping, educating and recreating with residential uses, thereby creating a compact community form. This district allows commercial, office, civic, townhouse and apartment uses and, along with
Neighborhood Commercial, is the preferred district and development type in Avon. The mostly vertical mix of uses will reduce vehicle trips, relieve traffic congestion and provide an urbanized, pedestrian environment. MC implements the mixed-use land use classification of the Avon Future Land Use Plan and
should be located adjacent to the Town Center as a transitional district.” Concurrent with the rezone application, the applicant is requesting to change the Future Land Use Plan
designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed-Use Commercial so the zoning and Comprehensive Plan documents are in sync. Each land use designation allows vertically mixed development (i.e. residential above commercial) however, the Mixed-Use Commercial zone district increases the maximum building
height from 38’ to 60’.
2
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 3
The land use designations and zoning are further analyzed and evaluated in this staff report. As the
Application is proposed for a specific use, it needs to be understood what other uses can potentially occur
should the property be rezoned to MC and the specified development of the MOB not occur.
Development Code Purpose
The Comprehensive Plan amendment review criterion and rezoning criterion inquires whether the purpose of the Development Code is promoted by the Application. As outlined in Sec. 7-04-030, “The
Development Code is intended to promote and achieve the following goals and purposes for the Avon community, including the residents, property owners, business owners and visitors.” The Development Code Purposes are restated as follows:
Purposes: (a) Divide the Town into zones, restricting and requiring therein the location, erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration and use of buildings, structures and land for trade, industry, residence and other specified uses; regulate the intensity of the use of lot areas; regulate and determine the area of open spaces surrounding such buildings; establish building lines and locations of buildings designed for specified
industrial, commercial, residential and other uses within such areas; establish standards to which buildings or structures shall conform; establish standards for use of areas adjoining such buildings or structures;
(b) Implement the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan and other applicable planning
documents of the Town; (c) Comply with the purposes stated in state and federal regulations which authorize the regulations in this
Development Code;
(d) Avoid undue traffic congestion and degradation of the level of service provided by streets and roadways, promote effective and economical mass transportation and enhance effective, attractive and

(g) Prevent the inefficient use of land; avoid increased demands on public services and facilities which exceed capacity or degrade the level of service for existing residents; provide for phased development of government services and facilities which maximizes efficiency and optimizes costs to taxpayers and users;
and promote sufficient, economical and high-quality provision of all public services and public facilities, including but not limited to water, sewage, schools, libraries, police, parks, recreation, open space and
medical facilities;
(h) Minimize the risk of damage and injury to people, structures and public infrastructure created by wild fire, avalanche, unstable slopes, rock fall, mudslides, flood danger and other natural hazards;
(i) Achieve or exceed federal clean air standards;
(j) Sustain water sources by maintaining the natural watershed, preventing accelerated erosion, reducing runoff and consequent sedimentation, eliminating pollutants introduced directly into streams and enhancing
public access to recreational water sources; (k) Maintain the natural scenic beauty of the Eagle River Valley in order to preserve areas of historical and archaeological importance, provide for adequate open spaces, preserve scenic views, provide recreational
opportunities, sustain the tourist-based economy and preserve property values; (l) Promote architectural design which is compatible, functional, practical and complimentary to Avon's sub-alpine environment;
(m) Achieve innovation and advancement in design of the built environment to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, reduce emission of pollutants, reduce consumption of non-renewable natural resources and attain sustainability;
3
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 4
(n) Achieve a diverse range of attainable housing which meets the housing needs created by jobs in the
Town, provides a range of housing types and price points to serve a complete range of life stages and
promotes a balanced, diverse and stable full time residential community which is balanced with the visitor economy;
(o) Promote quality real estate investments which conserve property values by disclosing risks, taxes and
fees; by incorporating practical and comprehensible legal arrangements; and by promoting accuracy in investment expectations; and
(p) Promote the health, safety and welfare of the Avon community. (Ord. 10-14 §3)
Land Use Case #CPA15001: Request to Amend the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Analysis Lot 1A is currently designated as Neighborhood Commercial in the Comprehensive Plan. According to the
Comprehensive Plan, “These areas are intended to provide neighborhood-focused retail and service uses
(such as markets, childcare, restaurants, and cafes) that are conveniently located near and connected with surrounding residential neighborhoods.” It should be understood that the land use designations depicted on
the land use map do not supersede the Town’s zoning districts and regulations. The applicant is proposing to amend the Comprehensive Plan land use designation for Lot 1A from
Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed Use. According to the Comprehensive Plan, “The intent of the mixed-use designation is to create an area providing commercial retail and service uses with a supporting mix of office, residential, lodging, and entertainment uses in an urbanized, pedestrian-oriented environment. A
high proportion of lodging and other residential uses should be achieved in order to create the needed critical mass of population and activity to energize the Town Center District. Building should be vertically mixed, with retail, restaurants, and other commercial services located on the lower levels in order to
encourage a high level of interest and pedestrian activity. Building design, siting, and orientation, as well as shared parking facilities and public gathering spaces create an environment that is appealing and inviting
for pedestrians and vehicles.”
The Neighborhood Commercial and the Mixed Use land use designation each allow vertically mixed
development (i.e. residential above commercial) however, the Mixed-Use Commercial zone district
increases the maximum building height from 38’ to 60’. Specific uses allowed under the respective zone districts (NC and MC and discussed in greater detail below) are nearly identical for each zone district. The
most significant differences in allowed uses include hotel, motel and lodge uses being permitted in MC and not permitted in NC.
District 13: Nottingham Road Commercial District The property is within the Nottingham Road Commercial District, which is a medium priority district. According to the Comprehensive Plan, “This area’s proximity to the I-70/Avon Road Interchange
establishes its importance to the Town’s identity. Development and redevelopment that occurs here should reflect the standards in the Town Center, but should not compete with the Town Center in terms of size of buildings or intensity of development.” It should be noted that the medical office building does not seem to
detract from the goal to create critical mass in the Town Center District. Since 2006, the Westin, Westin Timeshare West and the Wyndham projects have all been built in the Town Center District. Additionally,
building heights remain tallest in the Town Center District.
Planning Principles of District 13:
• Limit access points on Nottingham Road to simplify traffic movements
• Require landscape setbacks and internal landscaping of parking lots
• Screen all equipment and storage from view
4
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 5
• Limit building heights to that which is compatible with the existing surrounding development
• Development intensity and activity should diminish when traveling north on Buck Creek Road
Due to grades in the vicinity, the proposed medical office building height will not be taller than structures on slightly higher grades to the west of the site. Additionally, the MOB will have maximum building height under 51-feet from the final finished grade of the site. Development intensity along Buck Creek Road will
diminish and terminates with the Walking Mountains Science School.
Comprehensive Plan Goals & Policies that Support the Application
This staff report identifies specific Comprehensive Plan Goals & Policies that Town Staff believes supports the Application. Several Goals & Policies are subject to interpretation and do not contain exact standards
or criteria for determining compliance.
• Policy B.1.1: Require that development throughout the community fit the overall Built Form
according to the Built Form Diagrams in this plan.
• Policy B.1.8: Locate uses that generate traffic to areas near transit facilities or shared parking
facilities to minimize automobile travel and “re-parking” within the same area. A new transit stop is planned in vicinity to facilitate mobility to this district of Avon.
• Goal C.1: Provide a balance of land uses that offers a range of housing options, diverse commercial and employment opportunities, inviting guest accommodations, and high quality civic
and recreational facilities, working in concert to strengthen Avon’s identity as both a year-round
residential community and as a commercial, tourism and economic center. The proposed Medical Office Building use presents a significant opportunity for quality
professional employment opportunities in Avon that diversifies from the predominant accommodation, service industry and construction jobs.
• Policy C.1.1: Ensure that proposed development and redevelopment projects conform to the Future Land Use Plan’s designations and are a scale and intensity appropriate for the planning district in
which they are located. The scale and intensity of the proposed development is appropriate for this part of Town identified in the Comprehensive Plan as “A secondary commercial district.” The proposed building height,
while slightly taller than the previously entitled fire station facility, should buffer more intense uses from the public safety facility proposed to relocate to Lot 1B.
• Policy C.1.2: Ensure each development contributes to a healthy jobs/housing balance in the Town and surrounding area. The medical office building diversifies the local economy and adds professional jobs to the
community.
• Goal C.4: Encourage sustainable commercial development that enhances Avon’s overall economic
health, contributes to the community’s image and character, and provides residents and visitors
with increased choices and services. A medical office facility is a sustainable development that will add jobs and diversify the local
economy.
• Goal D.1: Ensure that development and redevelopment is compatible with existing and planned
adjacent development and contributes to Avon’s community image and character. The medical office building will not impact views or solar access and will provide additional mobility options from the Nottingham Road Corridor, Nottingham Trail and the Avon Town Core.
• Policy E.2.4: Encourage businesses that offer higher quality jobs for local residents within the region to relocate to Avon by promoting its available commercial land and buildings as well as its
existing infrastructure and its accessible location.

Staff acknowledges that changing from NC to MC will marginally increase height and density, and many
goals are promoted by the effected change. It should also be acknowledged that many goals and policies remain promoted by retaining the NC designation such as compatibility and density. Since each designation contemplates commercial development, Council shall determine the best suitability of the
designation for the Nottingham Road Commercial District.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Review Criteria The review process and review criteria for Comprehensive Plan amendments are governed by AMC §7.16.030, Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The PZC shall use the criteria below as the basis for a recommendation on the Comprehensive Plan amendment portion of the application. Staff responses to
each review criteria are provided.
(1) The surrounding area is compatible with the land use proposed in the plan amendment or the
proposed land use provides an essential public benefit and other locations are not feasible or
practical; Staff Analysis: The surrounding area is comprised of a variety of existing uses including differentiating
levels of residential density, commercial and light industrial. The proposed Mixed Use land use designation is compatible and complimentary to the existing uses in the vicinity. The mixed use category is proposed to
match the requested zone district of Mixed Use Commercial, which allows a medical center/hospital as a
use by right. The intended use as a medical center/hospital on Lot 1A provides an essential public benefit to the Avon community that wouldn’t otherwise be accommodated with the current Neighborhood
Commercial designation.
(2) Transportation services and infrastructure have adequate current capacity or planned capacity,
to serve potential traffic demands of the land use proposed in the plan amendment; Staff Analysis: The site is within a developed area with all infrastructure and services available to serve the demands of potential development rights associated with the Mixed Use designation.
(3) Public services and facilities have adequate current capacity or planned capacity to serve the land
use proposed in the plan amendment; Staff Analysis: The site is within a developed area with all infrastructure, public services and facilities available to serve the demands of potential development rights associated with the Mixed Use designation. Additionally, a new transit stop facility is planned near the site to better serve the services in the vicinity.
(4) The proposed land use in the plan amendment will result in a better location or form of
development for the Town, even if the current plan designation is still considered appropriate; Staff Analysis: Though the current designation is still appropriate, the Mixed Use designation provides the appropriate transition from Town Center and Neighborhood Commercial zoned land uses located south of
the site to residential zoned uses to the west and north. Lot 1A is slightly larger than other developed parcels in area, situated on the corner and close to the I-70 interchange. The property is separated from adjacent developed uses by Buck Creek Road and Nottingham Road. Furthermore, there is a lack of
suitable or available property in the Town Core to accommodate the proposed medical office building use.
(5) Strict adherence to the current plan would result in a situation neither intended nor in keeping
with other key elements and policies of the plan; Staff Analysis: Strict adherence to the current plan will not allow the development of a medical office building on Lot 1A, which will inhibit promoting goals such as diverse jobs and enhancing health services
to the community. Amendment of the current plan will allow rezoning of the site to Mixed Use Commercial and the subsequent development of a medical facility on Lot 1A while retaining the proposed combined public safety facility as it relocates to the adjacent Lot 1B.
6
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 7
(6) The proposed plan amendment will promote the purposes stated in this Development Code; and Staff Analysis: Many of the purposes of the Development Code speak to employing sound planning principles, efficient land use and protecting the environment to the benefit of the Avon community – including residents, property owners, business owners and visitors. The proposed Mixed Use designation in
concert with the proposed development promotes the goals and purposes of the Development Code to see that the ongoing development of the Town is beneficial to the community.
(7) The proposed plan amendment will promote the health, safety or welfare of the Avon Community
and will be consistent with the general goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan. Staff Analysis: The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment promotes the health, safety and welfare of
the Avon community by instituting a land use designation that will allow the preferred zoning of the property consistent with numerous goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan.
Land Use Case #REZ15001: Request to Rezone Lot 1A from PUD to Mixed Use Commercial
Zoning Analysis Currently, the PUD zoning of Lot 1A allows for a fire station, fire district facilities and employee housing units, according to the Buck Creek PUD. Prior to rezoning to PUD in 2009, the property was entitled for more intense development through the Wildwood Resort Specially Planned Area (SPA). It is important to
reference the previous zoning to compare and contrast with the requested Mixed Use Commercial zoning to determine the acceptable level of intensity associated with proposed zone changes. Development rights through the Wildwood SPA allowed for a 150-unit hotel, motel and/or lodge (accommodation) units,
together with accessory uses and related commercial uses. Conceivably, this development may have been much more intense than the current proposal for a medical facility.
The currently entitled fire station facility on Lot 1A is not considered an intense use, but does operate continually and with inherent uses that can be noisy and requires bright lighting that can impact adjacent
residences. The proposed medical office building may provide a buffer between the relocated fire station
facilities (combined with police) on Lot 1B from the residential properties to the south and west on Nottingham Road, as proposed.
The Avon Development Code describes the purpose of the Mixed Use Commercial district as: “The MC district is established to group and link places used for working, shopping, educating and recreating with
residential uses, thereby creating a compact community form. This district allows commercial, office, civic,
townhouse and apartment uses and, along with Neighborhood Commercial, is the preferred district and development type in Avon. The mostly vertical mix of uses will reduce vehicle trips, relieve traffic
congestion and provide an urbanized, pedestrian environment. MC implements the mixed-use land use classification of the Avon Future Land Use Plan and should be located adjacent to the Town Center as a transitional district.
As outlined in Sec. 7.20.070(a), the Purposes of the Mixed-Use District include: 1. Promote higher-density residential development near and within the Town Center and commercial
centers and other areas as appropriate; 2. Concentrate higher-intensity commercial and office employment growth efficiently in and around the Town Center and other centers of community activity;
3. Encourage mixed-use redevelopment, conversion and reuse of aging and underutilized areas and increase the efficient use of available commercial land in the Town;
4. Create pedestrian-oriented environments that encourage transit use, pedestrian access and more
sustainable land use patterns; and
7
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 8
5. Ensure that the appearance and function of residential and nonresidential uses are of high and
unique aesthetic character and quality and are integrated with one another and the character of the
area in which they are located.

Rezoning Review Criteria
The review process and review criteria for rezoning applications are governed by AMC §7.16.050, Rezonings. The PZC shall use the criteria below as the basis for a recommendation on the Rezoning portion of the application. Staff responses to each review criteria are provided.
(1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code; Staff Analysis: Many of the purposes of the Development Code speak to employing sound planning
principles, efficient land use and protecting the environment to the benefit of the Avon community. The proposed Mixed Use designation promotes more of the goals and purposes of the Development Code since the proposed Mixed Use designation allows a more efficient land use type that allows residential
development mixed with commercial uses.
(2) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan; Staff Analysis: Concurrent with this application, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to align the land use designation with the requested zone district. The Mixed Use Commercial zone district and Mixed Use land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan are compatible
designations that will achieve the goals and purposes of the Development Code and Comprehensive Plan to the benefit of the community. Planning principles of District 13 of the Comprehensive Plan strive to develop property to an appropriate scale and be aesthetically pleasing. The rezoning will accomplish these
principles by implementing specific development standards that ensure a quality development of Lot 1A.
(3) Physical suitability of the land for the proposed development or subdivision; Staff Analysis: The land is within a developed context with all available infrastructure and services available to serve the intended use. Additionally, Lot 1A has utilities stubbed-in and overlot grading has prepared the lot for development.
(4) Compatibility with surrounding land uses; Staff Analysis: Situated near Interstate 70, the surrounding area is generally mixed use containing
residential, commercial and light industrial land uses. The proposed Mixed Use Commercial district is compatible with this context of zoned and existing land uses.
(5) Whether the proposed rezoning is justified by changed or changing conditions in the
character of the area proposed to be rezoned Staff Analysis: The site is situated within a PUD that is largely undeveloped. Lot 1A is entitled for
development of public facilities including a fire facility. Changing conditions do justify the relocation of
proposed public facilities to the adjacent Lot 1B and allowing Lot 1A to be rezoned as Mixed Use Commercial thereby allowing development of the property for a medical center/hospital.
(6) Whether there are adequate facilities available to serve development for the type and
scope suggested by the proposed zone compared to the existing zoning, while maintaining
adequate levels of service to existing development;
11
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 12
Staff Analysis: The applicant has provided the requisite information to demonstrate that adequate facilities
are available to serve the intended development without impact to existing development.
(7) Whether the rezoning is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning
district; Staff Analysis: Purpose (2) of AMC §7.20.070 states: “Concentrate higher-intensity commercial and office employment growth efficiently in and around the Town Center and other centers of community activity.”
Rezoning the property for the intended use of a medical center/hospital is consistent with the Nottingham
Road Commercial District identified in the Comprehensive Plan, which contains an established district of mixed uses.
(8) That, compared to the existing zoning the rezoning is not likely to result in adverse
impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management,
wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated; Staff Analysis: The rezoning should have a negligible impact on the natural environment compared with the existing development rights as the development footprint will be approximately the same whether the
existing zone district or the proposed. Conceptual development of Lot 1A under the PUD zoning contemplates a fully developed parcel with no maximum site coverage restriction; preliminary drawings of the proposed medical facility indicate total site coverage at less than 50%.
(9) That, compared to the existing zoning, the rezoning is not likely to result in significant
adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; Staff Analysis: The current PUD zoning allows a fire station facility and employee housing. The proposed
mixed use zone district allows commercial and residential uses that are not intensive or would otherwise negatively impact the other properties in the vicinity. Some of the adjacent properties are zoned Neighborhood Commercial which allows nearly identical uses as the Mixed Use Commercial zone district.
Therefore, compared to the existing zoning the proposed rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts up other property in the vicinity.
(10) For rezoning within an existing PUD, consistency with the relevant PUD Master Plan as
reflected in the approval of the applicable PUD; and, Staff Analysis: This criterion is not applicable because the Applicant is seeking to rezone the Property to
the Mixed Use Commercial zone district.
(11) Adequate mitigation is required for zoning amendment applications which result in
greater intensity of land use or increased demands on public facilities and infrastructure. Staff Analysis: The applicant has conducted the requisite development impact studies and will mitigate any concerns in accordance with study recommendations and Town of Avon requirements through the
Development Plan phase of entitlements.
Mitigation
7.16.050(11) Rezonings. Rezoning applications which propose a greater intensity of land use or increased demands on public services or infrastructure shall be required to provide adequate mitigation of such
impacts. Greater intensity of land use or increased demands on public facilities and infrastructure shall
include, but are not limited to: transportation, water, sewer, schools, emergency services, police, parks and recreation, medical and library. Adequate mitigation may include providing dedications of land or cash-in-
lieu for the proportionate share of capital investment in public facilities and infrastructure related to the
potential incremental increase of demand created from the existing zoning classification to the proposed zoning classification.
The applicant is proposing the following mitigation:
12
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15001 & CPA15001 Page | 13
1. Pay-in-lieu for proportionate share of an 8’ wide recreational path connection south of Nottingham
Road. Monies will be held in escrow for a period of time and if not constructed by Town returned
to developer. 2. Pay-in-lieu for proportionate share of bus stop improvements, including cantilever shelter design,
adjacent to Northside Coffee and kitchen (partially in Buck Creek Right-of-Way and partially on
Lot 4, Buck Creek Subdivision). Monies will be held in escrow for a period of time and if not constructed by Town returned to developer.
PZC Recommendation for Case #CPA15001: The PZC recommends approval of the Application together with the findings of fact.
Recommended Motion:
I move to approve Case #CPA15001, an application to amend the future land use designation for Lot
1A, Buck Creek PUD together with the findings of fact.

designation will enhance the Town’s economic base by providing employment opportunities close to residential.
3. The Comprehensive Plan amendment will promote the purposes of the Development Code by
preserving, protecting and promoting employment-generating uses. 4. The Mixed Use classification will result in a form of development beneficial to the Avon
community because it will allow the implementation of the preferred zone district as stated in the Avon Development Code.
PZC Recommendation for Case #REZ15001: Staff recommends approval of the Application together with the findings of fact.
Recommended Motion:
I move to approve Case #REZ15001, an application for rezoning of Lot 1A, Buck Creek PUD
together with one condition and the findings of fact.
Conditions: 1. The Applicant shall acquire the property by August 14, 2015.
The Following Findings May be Applied Should Council Approve the Application 1. The application meets the applicable review criteria based upon the Staff Report prepared by Brian
Garner, Town Planner, dated April 1, 2015. 2. The Application is substantially compliant with the purpose of the Development Code as the Mixed
Use Commercial zoning will ensure the most appropriate use of land in the Town and allow the development of a medical facility that will provide a high quality of life for residents. 3. The land is suitable for development of a medical facility without compromising public utilities or
services. 4. The Mixed Use Commercial zoning is consistent with the purpose of the district by allowing commercial, office, civic, townhouse and apartment uses and is the preferred district and
development type in Avon as stated in the Development Code.

The Following Findings May be Applied Should Council Deny Approval of the Application: 1. The application fails to meet the applicable review criteria based upon the Staff Report prepared by Brian Garner, Town Planner, dated April 1, 2015.
2. The surrounding area is not compatible with the Mixed Use Commercial classification and this designation will negatively impact other properties in the vicinity. 3. The Comprehensive Plan amendment does not promote the purposes of the Development Code
which is enacted to preserve, protect and promote the health and well-being of the community. 4. The Mixed Use classification will result in a form of development not beneficial to the Avon community because it will allow the implementation of a zone district that allows building heights
out of character with the neighborhood.
Case #REZ15001 Recommended Motion:
I move to deny approval of Case #REZ15001, an application for rezoning of Lot 1A, Buck Creek
PUD together with the findings of fact.
The Following Findings May be Applied Should Council Deny Approval of the Application 1. The application fails to meet the applicable review criteria based upon the Staff Report prepared by
Brian Garner, Town Planner, dated April 1, 2015. 2. The Application is not compliant with the purpose of the Development Code as the Mixed Use Commercial zoning is not appropriate at this location and would allow building heights out of
character with the neighborhood. 3. The land is not suitable for development of a medical facility as it will cause traffic volumes that compromise public safety for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists on Nottingham Road.
4. The Mixed Use Commercial zoning is not consistent with the purpose of the district by allowing the development of a medical facility that does not include vertical mixed-use with residential as intended by the Development Code.

From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager Date: April 1, 2015 Agenda Topic: PUBLIC HEARING – Ordinance 2015-04
Case #REZ15002 & #CPA15002
Lot 1B, Buck Creek PUD – Rezoning & Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Introduction
The Applicant, Eagle River Fire Protection District (“ERFPD”), with permission from the Owner,
Buck Creek Associates, has submitted a Rezoning application and concurrent Comprehensive Plan Amendment application (collectively the “Application”). The request is being reviewed concurrently with a Rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the neighboring Lot 1A
property.
The Application proposes to rezone Lot 1B, Buck Creek, from Planned Unit Development to the Public Facilities (“PF”) zone district. Currently, the property is zoned for a maximum density of eleven (11) residential townhomes. The proposed PF zone district would allow for the future
development of the site as a police/fire public safety facility, along with other uses enumerated in
Table 7.24-1, Allowed Uses, Avon Development Code.
The Planning and Zoning Commission (“PZC”) reviewed the Applications and provided a favorable recommendation. After reviewing the Application materials, Staff’s analysis, and
considering public input, the Town Council will act on Ordinance 2015-04. Avon Town Council
makes the final determination on the Application after public hearings. All available actions are
outlined in the Cover Memorandum.
Process The review process required a noticed public hearing with PZC. The PZC held a public hearing
on March 17, 2015, and forwarded a recommendation of approval with findings. Final action is
taken on the Application by Town Council after conducting public hearings and action by Ordinance. Pursuant to Section 7.16.020(b)(4), Concurrent Review, Avon Development Code, the zoning and Comprehensive Plan applications for Lot 1A and Lot 1B are being reviewed
simultaneously.
Background Originally, the property was platted as Lots 5, 52A and 52B, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision and zoned Specially Planned Area (SPA). In 1985, the property was replatted as Lots
1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Wildwood Resort Subdivision through Ordinance 85-4. The SPA had
entitlements for a 150-unit hotel, motel and/or lodge (accommodation) units, together with
accessory uses and related commercial uses. Previous applications proposed between 4 and 6
53
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 2
stories of height. Lots further to the north of the property were zoned for 50 residential multi-
family units and “private park and recreation and related commercial uses including a clubhouse
building for indoor and outdoor sports activities and customary support facilities, swimming
pools, tennis courts, archery range, restaurant, pro shop and other similar activities or services.”
Today, the property is platted as Lot 1B as part of the Buck Creek PUD approved by Town
Council in 2009. Zoning for the property was established with Council’s approval of Ordinance
09-08 on August 11, 2009. The PUD and Development Plan establish the land use and
development standards for the property including but not limited to allowed uses, parking standards, setbacks and density.
Property Description
Lot 1B is accessed from Walking Mountains Lane, a road constructed during the initial phase of
the Buck Creek PUD which included the construction of the Walking Mountains Science Center. The property is located adjacent to Buck Creek Road, immediately north of Lot 1A and is
accessed by “private driveway” per the Buck Creek PUD – meaning the road is not required to
meet Avon Development Code requirements.
The lot contains 2.125 acres and the topography is moderately disturbed from natural grade with utility work and over lot grading. The property contains several development limitations including
the Buck Creek stream, mature vegetation surrounding Buck Creek, wetlands, electric lines, and
steep topography characterizing the property’s eastern boundary. Additionally, existing platted
easements further limit development opportunities including but not limited to the Nottingham-
Puder Ditch Easement on the east side of the property.
Application Summary The proposal is to modify the Town’s Zoning Map for Lot 1B, Buck Creek PUD. This
Application is being reviewed concurrently with an Application to amend the zoning and
development rights for Lot 1A, Buck Creek PUD. Currently, Lot 1A is zoned PUD for a Fire Station with supporting office, administration,
training, and employee housing units. Lot 1B is
currently zoned PUD for 11 Dwelling Units with
Single-Family, Duplex, and/or Triplex building
types. This application will change Lot 1B to the Public Facilities (PF) zone district, thereby
supporting a joint police and fire station, with
supporting and incidental uses.
The Buck Creek PUD shows conceptual building footprints which are “schematic, but serve to
illustrate the intent of the development plan.” The
PUD plan shows a cluster of three triplexes and
one duplex, all served by a private driveway in a
loop design. The conceptual development location and layout demonstrates the constraints of the platted easements on the eastern part of the
property, as well as riparian constraints bordering the north property line.
54
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 3
Concurrent with the rezoning application, the request is to change the Future Land Use Plan
designation from Neighborhood Commercial to “Civic/Public” to more accurately reflect the PF
zoning category and envisioned mix of uses for the site.

Rezoning Review Criteria Analysis As outlined in Sec. 7.20.080(e), the Purpose of the Public Facilities District is as follows:
“The PF district is intended to provide sites for public uses such as community centers,
police and fire stations, and governmental facilities. The uses permitted in this district
are identified by location in the Avon Comprehensive Plan.” The review process and review criteria for zoning amendments are governed by AMC §7.16.050, Rezonings. The Town Council shall use the criteria below as the basis for a final
decision on the Rezoning Application. Staff responses to each review criteria are provided.
(1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code;
55
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 4
Staff Response: The Application and proposed land uses appear to be in substantial compliance
with the purpose of the Development Code. Specifically, the Application provides for phased
development of government services; and providing economical and high quality public services
and facilities. Section 7.04.030(g) states the following purpose appropriate to the Application:
“Prevent the inefficient use of land; avoid increased demands on public services and
facilities which exceed capacity or degrade the level of service for existing residents;
provide for phased development of government services and facilities which maximizes efficiency and optimizes costs to taxpayers and users; and promote sufficient, economical and high-quality provision of all public services and public facilities,
including but not limited to water, sewage, schools, libraries, police, parks, recreation,
open space, and medical facilities.”
The Rezoning will provide for the orderly, efficient use of the Property, while at the same time conserving the value of the investments of owners of property in Town. This application would
provide for quality public services and facilities in a central location accessible to existing
developed and future planned areas including the Village at Avon. The geographic location of the
Buck Creek/Nottingham/Swift Gulch intersection is well suited for public facilities including
police and fire. Any incremental increase in demands on public services and facilities is addressed.
(2) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
Staff Response: The rezoning application, with corresponding Comprehensive Plan Amendment, will provide consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and supporting documents. The
existing/future land use maps contained in the Comprehensive Plan are outdated and neither
reflects the current Buck Creek PUD approval or the envisioned joint public safety facility. The
Planning Principles for the Nottingham Road Commercial District are maintained with the
rezoning, and will be further evaluated with a Development Plan application.
Planning Principles for Nottingham Road Commercial District:
• Limit access points on Nottingham Road to simplify traffic movements
• Require landscape setbacks and internal landscaping of parking lots
• Screen all equipment and storage from view
• Limit building heights to that which is compatible with the existing surrounding development
• Development intensity and activity should diminish when traveling north on Buck Creek
Road
The Application adheres to the planning principles of the Nottingham Road Commercial District, and maintains the intent of diminishing intensity in the district from south to north on Buck Creek
Road. All landscaping and screening standards of the Avon Development Code would be in effect
and applicable to future development. The allowable building height of 40’ appears to be
compatible with existing surrounding development, which is generally between 30’ and 40’.
(3) Physical suitability of the land for the proposed development or subdivision;
56
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 5
Staff Response: The “buildable area” of the site accommodates the initial development concept
that was developed with programming and estimates for police and fire buildout. The western and
southern portions of the property were graded out when the Buck Creek PUD (and subdivision)
was initially developed. These initial improvements, and the planning work completed by the Applicant for Lot 1A demonstrate the suitability of Lot 1B for a joint public safety project. Aside
from the platted easements, riparian setbacks, and building setbacks, the land appears to be
sufficient for the proposed uses.
(4) Compatibility with surrounding land uses;
Staff Response: The area surrounding the southern portions of the Buck Creek PUD (including
Lot 1A and Lot 1B) are generally a mix of highway oriented commercial, neighborhood
commercial, residential, and open space land uses. Moving the planned public safety building
from Lot 1A to Lot 1B should not create any further impacts to adjacent surrounding land uses described above, or to future uses in the PUD including Townhomes on Lot 2, and a Montessori
School, day care, and office uses on Lot 5.
Medical office land uses planned for Lot 1A are compatible with public safety operations – health
and safety uses are well-suited in close proximity. Lot 2 of the Buck Creek PUD is zoned for additional multi-family development; natural and visual separation between the two zones of the
PUD can best be appreciated by visiting the properties with a site visit. The development pattern
notably shifts to lower density/intensity traveling north on Walking Mountains Lane after turning
off the access road from Buck Creek Road. Several mature trees and undergrowth that form the
Buck Creek riparian environment provide further natural and visual buffers.
(5) Whether the proposed rezoning is justified by changed or changing conditions in the
character of the area proposed to be rezoned
Staff Response: The primary responsibility of the fire department is the delivery of fire and rescue services. To provide effective service, crews must respond in a minimum amount of time
and with sufficient resources. Time is the critical element for police and fire when an emergency
is reported. In both cases, a central location with easy access to arterial roadways in a location
such as Buck Creek is justified over existing locations in the Town Center.
The conditions surrounding the existing police and fire locations on Town Property (Tract G) have
evolved over the past 15 years. Recently there have been a significant increase in the development
of accommodate and short term rental units in the Town Center with lodging projects such as the
Wyndham, Timeshare West, and Westin. These projects bring more guests to the heart of Avon
who are less aware of their surroundings and intermittent emergency responders that must navigate the slower roadways.
(6) Whether there are adequate facilities available to serve development for the type and
scope suggested by the proposed zone compared to the existing zoning, while maintaining
adequate levels of service to existing development;
Staff Response: The type and scope of the project can be supported by existing infrastructure. A
future bus stop across the street (adjacent parking area of Northside Café) is being considered as
57
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 6
part of the Lot 1A application. Additionally, a trail connection south of the project connecting to
the regional trail will be available to serve the site.
(7) Whether the rezoning is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning
district(s);
Staff Response: The Public Facilities (PF) zone district is well suited for a joint public safety
facility. The PF district is “intended to provide sites for public uses such as community centers, police and fire stations, and governmental facilities.”
(8) That, compared to the existing zoning, the rezoning is not likely to result in adverse
impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, stormwater management,
wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated;
Staff Response: Public safety development on the property will not result in adverse impacts to
the natural environment. The riparian corridor of Buck Creek with associated cottonwood trees
and wetlands will not be impaired by future development. Any impacts to the natural environment
must be mitigated per the Avon Development Code and Natural Resource Protection standards
(Sec. 7.28.100). Some level of intermittent noise could be experienced with future development of police/fire operations; these impacts should not be any more than those which could be
experienced with similar development on Lot 1A as currently approved in the Buck Creek PUD.
(9) That, compared to the existing zoning, the rezoning is not likely to result in
significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract;
Staff Response: No significant impacts to other properties in the vicinity are envisioned with a PF
land use designation and associated uses. As mentioned, intermittent noise impacts in connection
with fire truck sirens are anticipated, but these types of impacts will not be any greater than those
already inherent with the facility location on Lot 1A.
(10) For rezoning within an existing PUD, consistency with the relevant PUD Master Plan
as reflected in the approval of the applicable PUD; and,
Staff Response: The Application is a rezoning and would remove the property (properties including Lot 1A) from the Buck Creek PUD and into a codified zone district classification
subject to all Avon Development Code regulations; therefore, this criteria does not apply.
(11) Adequate mitigation is required for zoning amendment applications which result in
greater intensity of land use or increased demands on public facilities and infrastructure.
Staff Response: Mitigation measures will be reviewed in detail when a development plan is
developed for joint police and fire operations. As part of the accompanying Lot 1A Rezoning and
development plan submittals, the incremental impact on adjoining multi-modal transportation
facilities will be mitigated.
58
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 7
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Analysis Lot 1B is designated as ‘Neighborhood Commercial’ in the existing and future land use maps
contained in the Comprehensive Plan. According to the Comprehensive Plan “these areas are
intended to provide neighborhood-focused retail and service uses (such as markets, childcare, restaurants, and cafes) that are conveniently located near and connected with surrounding
residential neighborhoods.” The existing and future land maps do not accurately represent the
current Buck Creek PUD zoning or the land use envisioned with the Application; therefore, this
amendment will result in a more accurate designation.
The property is within the Nottingham Road Commercial District, which is a medium priority
district. According to the Comprehensive Plan, “This area’s proximity to the I-70/Avon Road
Interchange establishes its importance to the Town’s identity. Development and redevelopment
that occurs here should reflect the standards in the Town Center, but should not compete with the
Town Center in terms of size of buildings or intensity of development.”
Nottingham Road Commercial District Planning Principles:
• Limit access points on Nottingham Road to simplify traffic movements
• Require landscape setbacks and internal landscaping of parking lots
• Screen all equipment and storage from view
• Limit building heights to that which is compatible with the existing surrounding
development
• Development intensity and activity should diminish when traveling north on Buck Creek Road
The Application adheres to the planning principles of the Nottingham Road Commercial District,
and maintains the intent of diminishing intensity in the district from south to north on Buck Creek Road. All landscaping and screening standards of the Avon Development Code would be in effect
and applicable to future development. The allowable building height of 40’ appears to be
compatible with existing surrounding development.
In terms of development type and intensity, joint public safety uses would be compatible with other commercial uses in the vicinity and not competing directly with other Town Center
development. Freeing the current locations on Tract G at Nottingham Park for other uses can be
viewed as a benefit to this relocation. The location near the main Avon exit off Interstate 70 is
strategic, with direct access to the main arterial roads and outlying neighborhoods of the Town.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Review Criteria Analysis The review process and review criteria for Comprehensive Plan amendments are governed by
AMC §7.16.030, Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The Avon Town Council shall use these
criteria below as the basis for a decision on the Comprehensive Plan amendment portion of the Application. Staff responses are provided to each review criteria.
(1) The surrounding area is compatible with the land use proposed in the plan
amendment or the proposed land use provides an essential public benefit and other locations
are not feasible or practical;
59
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 8
Staff Response: The land use provides an essential public benefit in the form of a joint police/fire
public safety facility. The surrounding area is a mix of commercial, residential, educational, and
open space land uses. Currently the fire and supporting uses are entitled on Lot 1A; shifting these
uses to the north (with additional access off Swift Gulch Road instead of Nottingham Road), and co-locating with the essential services of the Avon Police Department, will provide for a
compatible mix of uses. There appears to be synergy between emergency response operations and
neighboring proposed medical uses.
(2) Transportation services and infrastructure have adequate current capacity or
planned capacity, to serve potential traffic demands of the land use proposed in the plan
amendment;
Staff Response: A future potential transit stop is accommodated immediately to the north of the
site off the Swift Gulch access point. Whether or not this potential transit stop was developed depends on demand and future route planning. The Transportation Plan also calls out a possible
trail connection bordering the east property line through the Nottingham Puder ditch easement to
connect Swift Gulch Road with the Walking Mountains Science school and Buck Creek trail.
After initial site studies it does not appear that development would impact this trail connection due
to existing utilities and easements on that portion of the property.
(3) Public services and facilities have adequate current capacity or planned capacity to
serve the land use proposed in the plan amendment;
Staff Response: There is adequate current capacity to serve the joint public safety facility. Some of the essential utilities and facilities that serve the property would be relocated with the initial
construction of a medical office building on Lot 1A. Assurance is being provided that a storm
sewer relocation bordering Lot 1A and Lot 1B will be available for future service. Again,
adequate capacity is available to service the site.
(4) The proposed land use in the plan amendment will result in a better location or form
of development for the Town, even if the current plan designation is still considered
appropriate;
Staff Response: The Comprehensive Plan designation of Neighborhood Commercial is inaccurate as it relates to both the current Buck Creek PUD and planned uses on the property. It appears that
the Neighborhood Commercial designation originates from the Wildwood Resort Specially
Planned Area, which included 150 unit hotel and supporting ‘neighborhood commercial’ uses.
As articulated in the Application, emergency service personnel must currently navigate stop signs and roundabouts in order to respond to emergency calls. Lot 1B provides a better location for
emergency responders for the Town of Avon and neighboring call locations, with less pedestrian
interaction and crossing points.
(5) Strict adherence to the current plan would result in a situation neither intended nor
in keeping with other key elements and policies of the plan;
60
PUBLIC HEARING – REZ15002 & CPA15002 Page | 9
Staff Response: The current plan reflects Neighborhood Commercial land uses. Accordingly,
strict adherence to the current plan would preclude the ability to locate emergency service
responders on the site and better serve the community needs.
(6) The proposed plan amendment will promote the purposes stated in this Development
Code;
Staff Response: The corresponding Comprehensive Plan amendment will promote the purposes
of the Avon Development Code, with a direct relationship to 7.04.030(g), as follows:
“(g) Prevent the inefficient use of land; avoid increased demands on public services and
facilities which exceed capacity or degrade the level of service for existing residents;
provide for phased development of government services and facilities which maximizes efficiency and optimizes costs to taxpayers and users; and promote sufficient, economical and high-quality provision of all public services and public facilities, including but not
limited to water, sewage, schools, libraries, police, parks, recreation, open space, and
medical facilities.”
The Application provides for the phased and coordinated development of government services and facilities. The development of a joint public safety facility promotes efficiencies in cooperation
and coordination as well as the operational efficiencies through shared space. Fixed costs could
be spread out for construction and continued operation (i.e. maintenance of common areas) of a
joint facility. Lastly, improved response times could be achieved for taller buildings by
developing a facility to accommodate the ladder truck apparatus.
(7) The proposed plan amendment will promote the health, safety or welfare of the Avon
Community and will be consistent with the general goals and policies of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Response: The health, safety, and welfare of the Town and Avon Community will be
enhanced with consolidated and more closely coordinated emergency response operations. The
Avon Comprehensive Plan provides additional support for the Application with the following
goals and policies:
• Goal A.1: Collaborate with….other agencies to implement the plan and to ensure Avon’s needs and goals are being met.
• Policy C.1.6: Include sufficient land for public uses such as schools, recreation,
community facilities, and government services near the people who use them.
• Goad J.2: Ensure cost effective provision and development of public facilities and services.
• Policy J.2.1: Coordinate with quasi-jurisdictional agencies regarding service
expansions and other development that could affect the achievement of the district goals and objectives.

Rezoning of Lot 1B, Buck Creek PUD
Written Statement
SUMMARY
The Eagle River Fire Protection District (ERFPD) is applying to modify the Town’s Zoning Map for Lot 1B,
Buck Creek PUD. This Application is being reviewed concurrently with an Application to amend the
zoning and development rights for Lot 1A, Buck Creek PUD. Currently, Lot 1A is zoned PUD for a Fire
Station with supporting office, administration, training, and employee housing units. That property will
be changed to the Mixed Commercial (MC) zone district. Lot 1B is currently zoned PUD for 11 Dwelling
Units in Single‐Family, Duplex, and/or Triplex arrangements. This application will change Lot 1B to the
Public Facilities (PF) zone district, thereby supporting a joint police and fire station, with supporting and
incidental uses.
The Avon Police Department and ERFPD have been working to consolidate a physical plant for efficiency
and improved response times from this key location north of Interstate 70. The property provides quick
access to outlying lower density neighborhoods, Interstate access, as well as maintaining proximity to
the Town Core and future buildout of the Village at Avon.
Pursuant to Section 7.16.020(b)(4), Concurrent Review, Avon Development Code, this application is
being reviewed contemporaneously with a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to more accurately reflect
the “civic/public” nature of the envisioned joint facility on Lot 1B. This narrative addresses the
mandatory review criteria for both applications.

REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
The zone classification of parcels can be changed pursuant to Section 7.16.050, Zoning Amendments,
Avon Development Code. The Avon Development Code, Section 7.16.050(c), Review Criteria, requires
that the PZC and Town Council consider the following review criteria for a Rezoning Application.
Applicant responses are included for your consideration.
(1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code;
Response: The stated purposes of §7.04, Development Code, AMC, include statements
regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan; regulating intensity of use; regulating
and determining the area of open spaces; establishing building lines; avoiding increased
demands on public services and facilities; providing for phased development of government
services; minimizing adverse environmental impacts of development; provide for compatibility
with the surrounding area; preservation of natural features; minimize adverse environmental
impacts; and promoting sufficient, economical and high quality provision of all public services
and public facilities.
The Application is substantially compliant with the purpose statements in the Development
Code. The Rezoning will provide for the “orderly use” of the Property in relation to the
commercial use proposed on Lot 1A, while at the same time conserving the value of the
investments of owners of property in Town. This application would provide for high quality,
efficiently planned public services and facilities in a central location of Town.
(2) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
Response: One of the fundamental reasons for implementing the Comprehensive Plan is to
clearly communicate where and how land uses may occur and to promote and protect the
health, safety, and welfare of the residents and visitors of the Town by using goals and policies
that result from a community review process. This Application, with the corresponding
Comprehensive Plan amendment to the Future Land Use Map, will help to promote the health,
safety, and welfare of the Town and its residents. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment will
more accurately designate the property as “civic/public” Thereby supporting public safety with
the combined fire and police facility.
The Application conforms with the principal Land Use Goal (Goal C.1) which is to “provide a
balance of land uses that offers a range of housing options, diverse commercial and employment
opportunities, inviting guest accommodations, and high quality civic [emphasis added] and
recreational facilities, working in concert to strengthen Avon’s identity as both a year‐round
residential community and as a commercial, tourism and economic center.” On‐site employee
housing units and a state of the art, high‐quality police and fire combined facility would
implement this balanced approach to land development.
The Property is located within District 13: Nottingham Road Commercial District. Following is a
response to the existing Planning Principles for this area:
Limit access points on Nottingham Road to simplify traffic movements.
68
Pa
g
e
5
Response: This project would likely utilize the existing Walking Mountains Lane for
entrance, and exit only onto Swift Gulch Road. As discussed with Town Staff, this area
of Swift Gulch Road may require emergency only signalization for safe exiting. The full
details of access to the property would be evaluated during a future development plan
submittal.
Require landscape setbacks and internal landscaping of parking lots.
Response: These details would be incorporated into a future development plan
application which will be compliant with all applicable standards. With conceptual site
layouts explored, parking could be placed behind the building as a potential solution to
this principal.
Screen all equipment and storage areas from view.
Response: All equipment and storage areas will be screened from view. It is likely that
fire trucks and some vehicles will be parked outside of the future building(s), for
maintenance, training, and staging for quick response times.
Limit building heights to that which is compatible with the existing surrounding
development.
Response: The nearest development to the site is the Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
zoned properties opposite Swift Gulch Road, and also planned uses on Lot 1A. Building
Heights will be compatible with existing surrounding development. There is a natural
break with vegetation and the creek buffering the property moving north. Additionally,
no potential development exists to the east on Swift Gulch Road given the steep
topography and existing Open Space zoning in those areas.
Currently, Lot 1B has entitlements through the PUD process with forty‐two (42) foot
building height for Townhomes. Current concepts for the fire station include base
building heights of 45’. This would be further developed with a development plan
process. Building heights have been reduced compared to the previous PUD zoning for
Cottonwood Resort.
Development intensity and activity should diminish when traveling north on Buck
Creek Road.
Response: The Existing PUD and this proposed zoning amendment will respect this
planning principle, with intensity and activity remaining low impact as moving north on
Buck Creek Road (and Walking Mountains Lane respectively).
(3) Physical suitability of the land for the proposed development or subdivision;
Response: The existing Lot (1B) was graded out and preliminary infrastructure and stub outs
were constructed in concert with the initial Walking Mountains Lane and Science School
subdivision improvements. A design team has worked diligently to demonstrate the adequacy
of the site for these intended uses. The north east corner of the property becomes constrained
moving north due to natural and manmade constraints in the form of the Nottingham Puder
69
Pa
g
e
6
Ditch (and Easement) at the toe of the steep hillside. The balance of the land is physically
suitable for the programming and construction of a police/fire public safety center.
(4) Compatibility with surrounding land uses;
Response: The property is surrounded by a mix of land uses including: open space, Buck Creek,
public roadways, and the immediate surrounding area is commercial in nature. Moving the
planned public safety building from Lot 1A to Lot 1B should not create any additional impacts to
adjacent surrounding land uses. The siting of public facilities next to a medical land use is
complimentary.
(5) Whether the proposed rezoning is justified by changed or changing conditions in the character
of the area proposed to be rezoned
Response: The concept for a police and fire joint facility in this general location has been in
response to changing conditions and the need to move these essential services out of the Town
Core and into a more accessible location. Commercial and civic uses have long been envisioned
in this intersection of Town roadways.
(6) Whether there are adequate facilities available to serve development for the type and scope
suggested by the proposed zone compared to the existing zoning, while maintaining adequate
levels of service to existing development;
Response: The existing and proposed infrastructure is adequate to serve the proposed
development. Initial utility work would be performed by the adjoining Lot 1A development.
Fire protection will be on site.
(7) Whether the rezoning is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning district(s);
Response: The Public Facilities (PF) zone district is “intended to provide sites for public uses such
as community centers, police and fire stations, and governmental facilities.” This zone district is
clearly envisioned for this type of development. Avon Municipal Code §7.24.040, Table of
Allowed Uses, includes government services, offices, and associated facilities. The Application
proposes police and fire stations; therefore, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the stated
purpose of the PF zone district.
(8) That, compared to the existing zoning, the rezoning is not likely to result in adverse impacts
upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, stormwater management, wildlife,
and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated;
Response: The existing zoning for Lot 1B is PUD: for multi‐family residential, up to eleven (11)
Dwelling Units in Single‐Family, Duplex, and/or Triplex configurations. Relocating the fire
operations approximately 150’ to the north and co‐locating police functions on the same
property will not likely result in adverse impacts upon the natural environment. Stormwater
management for Lots 1A and 1B will be handled with treatment facilities prior to discharge form
the property.
70
Pa
g
e
7
While the street network is adequate to carry the anticipated, traffic studies will be required
and reviewed with the Development Plan submittals for both Lot 1A and Lot 1B. No wildlife
impacts should be experienced and stream setbacks remain intact.
(9) That, compared to the existing zoning, the rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse
impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract;
Response: No significant adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity are envisioned with
Public Facilities (PF) zoned land uses. Intermittent noise impacts in connection with fire truck
sirens are anticipated, but these types of impacts will not be any greater than those already
inherent with the facility location on Lot 1A.
(10) For rezoning within an existing PUD, consistency with the relevant PUD Master Plan as
reflected in the approval of the applicable PUD; and,
Response: The existing Buck Creek PUD highlights Lot 1A as the emergency service hub for the
property. This proposal shifts the site to the north with immediate access to adjacent roads
maintained. Moving from PUD to a standard zone district will provide flexibility, and at the
same time ensure future development is in line with the Town’s adopted goals, policies, and
procedures.
(11) Adequate mitigation is required for zoning amendment applications which result in greater
intensity of land use or increased demands on public facilities and infrastructure.
Response:
MITIGATION OF IMPACTS
This Application would result in the reduction of 11 multi‐family dwelling units, and the reorientation of
a main branch fire station to provide exit onto Swift Gulch Road as opposed to the currently approved
location on Nottingham Road. As mentioned, the Avon Police Department would also be headquartered
on this property.
Transportation
The Transportation Plan indicates the possibility of a bus stop in the general vicinity of the Property on
Swift Gulch Road. If required in the future, a bus stop and connecting sidewalk could be accommodated
to the north of the conceptual driveway exit of the property; however, a bus route is highly unlikely in
this direction and general location. Connections for pedestrians must be accommodated for both on
the perimeter and within the sites.
Water
The Buck Creek PUD (historically named “Wildwood Resort”) was allocated 118.6 Single‐Family
Equivalents (SFEs). Consequently, in 2009 when the Buck Creek PUD was approved with far less density
that the original PUD it was conditioned such that additional water rights would go back to the Town.
Water use will be examined again at the development plan stage of development and no additional
water demand is expected.
71
Pa
g
e
8
Sewer
The water district has adequate the capacity to treat the wastewater from the existing approved fire
station lot, as evidenced in the 2009 Buck Creek PUD approval and ability to serve letters.
Schools
The demand on schools remains unchanged with the relocation of both police and fire facilities.
Emergency Services
Not applicable.
Police
Not applicable.
Parks and Recreation
In terms of immediately adjacent parks and recreation impacts, the Trails Master Plan (2009) includes
the possible trail connection immediately north of this property to help connect pedestrians from the
Town Core to the north eventually to the Buck Creek Trailhead. This is a critical connection to existing
recreational facilities and will be maintained with this proposal.
Medical
The rezoning of the adjacent Lot 1A to a medical office complex and siting the police and fire on Lot 1B
will have a synergetic relationship. While there are currently urgent care facilities in the Town Core, the
Town lacks adequate opportunities for medical care. Accessibility of these properties to major
roadways will be a benefit to not only Avon residents but others in the valley.
Library
Not applicable.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Lot 1B
Written Statement
The Application being presented will amend the Future Land Use Map designation of Lot 1B from
Neighborhood Commercial, which is already inconsistent with the current zoning, to Civic/Public.
REVIEW CRITERIA
The following is an examination of the mandatory review criteria for the Planning Commission and Town
Council review to consider. This Application responds to each criteria accordingly, and cross references
the Rezoning review criteria responses where necessary.
(1) The surrounding area is compatible with the land use proposed in the plan amendment or the
proposed land use provides an essential public benefit and other locations are not feasible or
practical;
Response: The land uses in the surrounding area are a mix of multi‐family residential, and
commercial including retail, restaurants, service stations and automotive repair. The proposed
land use is mixed‐use commercial which will generally allow residential and commercial land
uses so the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is compatible with the surrounding
existing land uses. Additionally, the proposed use provides a significant public benefit by
supplying the Avon community with critical medical facilities.
73
Pa
g
e
10
(2) Transportation services and infrastructure have adequate current capacity or planned
capacity, to serve potential traffic demands of the land use proposed in the plan amendment;
Response: The land use proposed for the 2.1 acre Lot 1A will have a negligible impact on
transportation services and infrastructure when compared with the current zoning for multi‐
family residential development.
(3) Public services and facilities have adequate current capacity or planned capacity to serve the
land use proposed in the plan amendment;
Response: There is adequate current capacity to serve this joint public safety facility. Due
diligence work for Lot 1A accommodates service for both properties.
(4) The proposed land use in the plan amendment will result in a better location or form of
development for the Town, even if the current plan designation is still considered appropriate;
Response: This application is submitted concurrent with the amendment for Lot 1A that will
allow for the strategic relocation of essential public safety services to an area of Town better
suited for this type of development. This strategic location for fire services was targeted for
development in 2009 with the acquisition of the adjacent Lot 1A. The colocation of police and
fire outside of the Town Core is an improvement in location for both uses. Currently,
emergency service personnel must navigate additional stop signs and roundabouts in order to
respond to emergency calls. Lot 1B provides a better location for emergency responders for the
Town of Avon and neighboring call locations.
(5) Strict adherence to the current plan would result in a situation neither intended nor in
keeping with other key elements and policies of the plan;
Response: Strict adherence to the current planwould preclude the ability to locate emergency
service responders on the site and better serve the community needs.
(6) The proposed plan amendment will promote the purposes stated in this Development Code;
Response: The proposed comp plan amendment will promote the purposes of the Avon
Development Code but most significantly demonstrates compliance with purpose 7.04.030(g)
While design of a joint facility is in the early stages, this amendment and eventual development
of the property could yield savings for the Fire District and ultimately the construction of a
facility that will serve the Town and Valley. Lot 1A will be made available for high quality
medical facilities and Lot 1B available to police and fire services.
74
Pa
g
e
11
(7) The proposed plan amendment will promote the health, safety or welfare of the Avon
Community and will be consistent with the general goals and policies of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan.
Response: Public Health and welfare will be promoted with new medical and public safety facilities.
Public welfare is broad and inclusive and is often most accurately reflected in the goals and policies
contained in the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive planning is the legal basis for zoning
and this Comprehensive Plan amendment will allow for the rezoning of Lot 1B to Public Facilities in
order to collocate police and fire services on the site.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer
Date: April 1, 2015
Agenda Topic: Engineering Analysis Supplement to Case #CPA15001 & REZ15001 Rezoning of Lot 1A from PUD to Mixed-Use Commercial and Comprehensive Plan
Amendment from Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed Use Designation
Traffic Analysis
A traffic study was submitted as required by the Comprehensive Transportation Plan that was prepared
by Charles Buck of Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig and analyzed the impacts to the local road network from
the medical office building and the proposed Public Safety facility. The project will generate
approximately 1,870 daily trips per day (tpd) of which 1,630 tpd are from the medical office building.
This will increase the trips on Nottingham Road to 10,880 tpd and it will continue to operate at
acceptable levels. The high traffic on Nottingham Road will make left hand turns difficult at Buck Creek
Road, medical office building and Swift Gulch Road but the intersections do not warrant any major
improvements like a roundabout or stop light at this time. The intersections will be monitored in the
future and if conditions warrant, improvements can be made at that time.
Pedestrian, Bicycle and Transit Analysis
The development will increase the need for pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities in the area. A
pedestrian connection to the Nottingham Road path along Buck Creek is recommended to ensure
bicyclists have a safe route from the building to the path. Also, the project is large enough it will create
demand for transit service for its employees and customers. A transit stop and sidewalk connection
located on the east side of Swift Gulch Road is recommended. The existing Red Line already passes this
location and a new stop can easily be added.
Drainage Analysis
Buck Creek flows north to south through the west side of the property and the floodplain consumes
roughly the 70 FT of the west side of the property. The project is not proposing any grading in the
floodplain so an analysis of the floodplain is not required. The storm sewer is being rebuilt along
Nottingham Road to accommodate the project and Staff is requesting it be extended along the east side
to Lot 1B because it is common for developers to construct infrastructure along its frontage and because
constructing it later will impact the new landscaping. The project meets other drainage standards
including stormwater quality treatment before the runoff enters Buck Creek.

I forgot, he did not update the traffic study. We should attach this email to the traffic study that
shows traffic will be at a level of service E for the left had turn movements existing Buck Creek Road

Justin:
The roundabout would likely be required when traffic operations at the intersection degrade to LOS
E. To estimate when this might occur, given the data provided, I did a preliminary iterative analysis
for the Nottingham Road/Swift Gulch Road intersection, as follows:
· I used the recent count data provided for both Swift Gulch and Nottingham to
extract/estimate exiting turning movements.
· Based on the 85% of buildout estimate we discussed during the conference call a few weeks
ago, I then calculated an annual growth rate to the year 2035 (assuming buildout occurs
over a 20 year span).
· I calculated background volumes at the intersection using this rate for five-year intervals
and added in our site generated traffic. I have attached Synchro LOS worksheets based on
the current STOP sign control.
You will see that, under these estimated conditions, the existing LOS for the STOP controlled left-
turn movement is at LOS C. With the addition of site generated traffic, the LOS for this movement
would go to D, primarily due to the increase in through traffic on Nottingham. LOS D would be
maintained through the 2020, 2025, and 2030 scenarios. By the year 2035 (representing buildout),
the left-turn would go to LOS E. Therefore, given this projected growth trend, the roundabout
would be a long-term improvement that would likely not be needed until development served by
Nottingham Road approaches buildout.
I hope this brief evaluation is helpful to you. Please let me know if you have questions or if I can
provide additional information.
Thanks,
Charles

This does contradict what our yearly traffic counts indicate. From 2008 to 2014, the traffic on Swift
Gulch Road has varied from 1613 tpd to 1160 tpd, with 2012 being the lowest year. The closest
undeveloped lot north of I-70 is by the Post Blvd interchange and I would expect most people would
get on I70 rather than Swift Gulch Road to get to Avon Road.
My concern is that 5800 VPD may indicate we need a roundabout at Swift Gulch/Nottingham when
we don’t. At what volume would a roundabout be required at this intersection?

Justin:
We based the peak hour traffic volumes at Nottingham/Swift Gulch on previous studies we
conducted in 2009. I have attached two reports that deal with this intersection. The reports
reference “recent traffic counts”, but I was unable to find the data in our electronic files, and all
paper materials have long since been archived off-site.
At that time, however, we estimated that the intersection met signal warrants, with a roundabout
as a potential alternative. The peak hour volumes were extracted from our previous Synchro analysis
worksheets and applied to the current Buck Creek PUD analysis. Typically, the PM peak hour
represents approximately 10 percent of the total daily traffic volumes, so we calculated the PM peak
hour two-way roadway volumes on Swift Gulch and multiplied by 10 to get the approximate daily
traffic volume of 5,800 VPD.
I hope this helps – please let me know if you have additional questions.

Charles,
I’m going through the Buck Creek traffic study and am curious where the 5800 tpd for Swift Gulch
Road came from. We currently have 1,363 tpd on Swift Gulch Road and that is a 4x increase on that
road.
Thanks

Re: Buck Creek Medical Building Traffic Impact Evaluation
Avon, Colorado FHU Reference No. 115023-01
Dear Mr. Brewster:
Current planning efforts relative to the Buck Creek Planned Unit Development (PUD) in Avon,
Colorado have focused on the potential for a new medical office building to be located along the north side of Nottingham Road between Swift Gulch Road and Buck Creek Road. The proposed
development would consist of an approximate 45,000 square foot medical office building. Other potential future site uses could include a fire station and a police station. Preliminary planning indicates an approximate 18,000 square foot fire station and an approximate 13,500 square foot
police station.
Figure 1 illustrates the current site plan concept. As shown, the medical office building would be
located on the western portion of the site, adjacent to Buck Creek Road. The fire and police stations would occupy the eastern portion of the site, adjacent to Swift Gulch Road.
As proposed, there would be two accesses to the medical office building: one full-movement access onto Nottingham Road, to serve underground structured parking for staff and long-term
patients; and one full-movement access onto Buck Creek Road, to serve medical office patient
parking as well as primary parking for the fire and police stations. There would be no internal connection between the underground parking structure and the surface parking areas. The fire and
police stations would also have full-movement access onto Swift Gulch Road, primarily for
emergency vehicle use.
Two previous reports addressed the traffic impacts associated with this site:
Buck Creek PUD Traffic Impact Study, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., September 2008.
Traffic Review and Intersection Evaluation, letter report to Mr. Justin Hildreth, P.E.,
Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, January 28, 2009.
Because the proposed site plan represents a change from the previous Buck Creek PUD concept,
the purpose of this letter report is to provide an updated evaluation of the potential traffic impacts, with a focus on the Nottingham Road intersections at Buck Creek Road and Swift Gulch Road.

Trip Generation
The travel demand associated with the proposed medical office building was estimated using data compiled and documented in Trip Generation, 9th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), 2012. ITE rates were also used to estimate trips associated with the potential police station
(rates for general office were utilized). The above referenced 2008 Kimley-Horn study provided estimates of the potential fire station trips based on operational information previously provided by
the Eagle River Fire Department. Because ITE does not provide data on fire stations, these
previous estimates have been carried through in this updated evaluation. Table 1 summarizes the resultant trip generation potential of the current site plan concept.

2. ITE Land Use Code 710 General Office Building (specific rates for Police Station are not available).
3. Trip Generation extracted from Buck Creek PUD Traffic Impact Study, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.,
September 2008.
As indicated above, the proposed medical office building would generate about 1,630 trips on a
daily basis, with about 110 trips during the AM peak hour and about 160 trips during the PM peak hour. The potential fire and police stations would bring the total site traffic to about 1,870 daily trips,
including 150 AM peak hour trips and 195 PM peak hour trips.
Site Traffic Assignment
The trip distribution estimates documented in the 2008 Kimley-Horn report were modified to include site traffic impacts to Swift Gulch Road. The following distribution percentages, depicted on the
attached Figure 2, were used to assign the above trip generation estimates to the adjacent roadways:
79 percent oriented to/from the southeast via Nottingham Road
18 percent oriented to/from the west via Nottingham Road
2 percent oriented to/from the east via Swift Gulch Road
1 percent oriented to/from the north via Buck Creek Road
Figure 2 also depicts the resultant site generated traffic assignment. As shown, the site is
projected to contribute approximately 1,480 vehicles per day (VPD) to Nottingham Road southeast of the site and approximately 330 VPD to the west. Swift Gulch Road would experience site traffic
of about 40 VPD, while Buck Creek Road would experience about 20 VPD in site related volumes.

Background Traffic Conditions
Background traffic represents adjacent roadway volumes that are unrelated to site development. For this analysis, buildout conditions were estimated based on an approximate 85 percent level of development along Nottingham Road using count data extracted from the 2008 Kimley-Horn
report. These volumes were augmented and adjusted using recent traffic count data contained in the August 28, 2014 annual traffic count report prepared by TDA Colorado for the Town of Avon.
Figure 3 depicts the resultant long-term background traffic volumes. As shown, Nottingham Road
would carry daily volumes in the range of 12,000 to 12,100 VPD. Swift Gulch Road would carry about 1,600 VPD, and Buck Creek Road would carry about 450 VPD in background traffic.
The AM and PM peak hour volumes, depicted on Figure 3, were used to determine the background intersection Levels of Service (LOS) using SYNCHRO, a computerized traffic analysis
tool (SYNCHRO worksheets are attached). LOS is a qualitative assessment of the traffic flow
characteristics described by a letter designation ranging from “A” to “F.” LOS A represents traffic conditions with essentially uninterrupted flow and minimal delay, whereas LOS F represents
excessive congestion and delay. In developed areas, LOS D is typically considered to be
acceptable for peak hour intersection operations.
Figure 3 also shows the LOS results for the background traffic conditions. As indicated, unsignalized operations at the Nottingham Road/Swift Gulch Road intersection would be acceptable (LOS D or better) under the existing STOP sign control. At the Nottingham Road/Buck
Creek Road intersection, traffic operations would be at LOS D or better during peak times. Existing study area accesses would also operate at acceptable LOS under background conditions.
Total Traffic Conditions
The site generated traffic volumes (Figure 2) were added to the buildout background traffic
volumes (Figure 3) to produce the total traffic volumes shown on Figure 4. As shown, total daily volumes along Nottingham Road would range from approximately 12,330 to 13,580 VPD in the
vicinity of the site. Swift Gulch Road would carry about 1,640 VPD, and Buck Creek Road would
carry about 470 VPD in total traffic volumes.
The total peak hour traffic volumes were used to conduct LOS analyses; the results of which are
also summarized on Figure 4. It can be seen that the proposed site access onto Buck Creek Road would operate acceptably, at LOS A during peak times, under STOP sign control (westbound
approach). The proposed site access onto Swift Gulch Road would also operate acceptably as an
unsignalized intersection, at LOS A or B during the peak hours.
As indicated, unsignalized operations at Nottingham Road/Swift Gulch Road would experience delays for side-street left-turn movements (LOS E) during the PM peak hour. This condition is typical for unsignalized operations along busy roadways, and is due primarily to the relatively high
through-movements projected along Nottingham Road. Note that this condition is anticipated for PM peak hour operations; the AM peak hour LOS would remain within acceptable limits. Per our
January 2009 letter report, this intersection would be a candidate for a traffic signal or roundabout
in the future to maintain traffic operations at acceptable levels. The roundabout alternative is also identified in the Town of Avon Comprehensive Transportation Plan, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig,
October 2009. The planned roundabout would operate at LOS B during peak times.

At the proposed site access to Nottingham Road, AM peak hour operations would be within acceptable limits, at LOS C or better. During the PM peak hour, however, the STOP controlled site
movements are projected to be at LOS E, indicating near-capacity conditions. Because of the short spacing (approximately 170 feet to Buck Creek Road and 220 feet to Swift Gulch Road) and due to the relatively low traffic volumes exiting the site, this access would not be a candidate for traffic
control improvements (such as a signal or roundabout). It should be noted that any congestion associated with the projected LOS E would affect only outbound site traffic (primarily left-turns),
and any resultant queuing would remain on-site. Thus, potential impacts to mainline operations
along Nottingham Road would be minimal. Per the LOS analyses, the maximum probable queue length for motorists exiting the site would be only about two or three vehicles in the PM peak hour.
The intersection at Nottingham Road/Buck Creek Road would also operate within acceptable limits during the AM peak hour. During the PM peak hour, however, the southbound left-turn movements
are projected to be at LOS E, indicating near-capacity conditions. As previously noted, this
condition is due to the relatively heavy through-movements projected along Nottingham Road. Per our January 2009 letter report, the Nottingham Road/Buck Creek Road intersection would not be a
candidate for signalization based on criteria contained in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD), Federal Highway Administration, current edition (2009). Similar to the site access, however, any potential congestion would affect only the minor volumes on Buck Creek
Road, and would not be expected to impact mainline operations. Per the LOS analyses, the maximum probable queue length for vehicles turning left onto Nottingham Road would be only two or three vehicles in the PM peak hour. Based on an average vehicle length of 25 feet, a maximum
storage requirement of 75 feet is indicated, which is well within the 100 feet of left-turn storage currently provided.
Potential Mitigation Measures
As previously indicated, the proposed site access onto Swift Gulch Road, which would serve the
potential future fire and police stations, would operate at acceptable LOS. However, the Town of Avon has identified a potential concern related to westbound traffic on Swift Gulch Road
approaching this access. Because the proposed access would occur on a downgrade, and due to
the horizontal alignment of Swift Gulch Road, the potential exists for westbound motorists to miss the curve and drive directly into the site access, particularly at night or during inclement weather.
To alert approaching motorists to this potential hazard, westbound Swift Gulch Road approaching
the access should be appropriately signed and delineated.

Subject:Lot 1A rezoning application - public comment
Hi Matt,
I am unable to attend the Lots 1A -1B open house tonight, but did want to register some comments about the 1A
application. The link to the application (http://www.avon.org/index.aspx?NID=748) from the press release was just fixed and so I have only been able to briefly review the information and so I may have additional comments
as I review further. I offer these comments as a neighbor within the notification boundary:
Rezoning
The application states a perceived preference for straight zoning over PUD zoning with a development plan. I think this is absolutely wrong when the change would support development that is less sensitive
to the surrounding context. This is a transitional parcel and so if their contention is that this application
would make this parcel more consistent with MC zoning elsewhere in town then I would say that MC
zoning is not appropriate if it doesn't recognize that transition.
I believe rezoning this parcel without understanding a development plan (and tying the development to the plan as in a PUD) is a mistake. The sites proximity to Walking Mountains and the entry to our most
prominent residential communities I believe demands a little more oversight. I see no compelling
benefit to the town to give up that oversight. Consistency is not a benefit in this case.
We need to understand the development also in context with the wetlands, wildlife migration and
riparian areas present on the site. What does it say about us as a town if we promote Walking Mountains while allowing a neighboring developer to negatively impact our environment because we
gave up that oversight now present in the PUD? I am absolutely not saying that is their intent, but
without a development plan that identifies those areas and protects them, how do we know?
Building Height
The application seems to confuse the building height of the multi-family (42 ft) with their proposal on
1A (60 ft). I think they need to clarify their language and what they propose relative to the development
plan for the fire station.
The development plan from the existing PUD considered the impact of the massing to the residential
development to the west. Even the modest bulk of the fire station was mitigated by stepping the development to the west with the administration building being in scale with the residential buildings to
the west.
We are very much in opposition to the proposed 60' height. This is not an appropriate location for this
king of height (which is not much less than town center).
The applicant proposes to step the height from Nottingham road, but does not seem to consider the impact this height will have from the north and from Walking Mountains.
113
2
As you probably recall, the existing PUD amended the previous PUD specifically to reduce the building height of the proposed hotel on 1A to bring it more in scale with the neighborhood, This application
appears to be going back to an idea that was already rejected.
Traffic Impact
The applicant proposes staff to enter a garage off Nottingham Road while the steady stream of patients are proposed to access off Buck Creek Road and Walking Mountains Lane. I would like to see hard traffic numbers comparing this proposal to the current residential and fire district uses on both
Nottingham, Swift Gulch and Buck Creek Roads.
Again, I strongly believe it is in the town's interest to understand and preserve the arrival experience to
Walking Mountains and so understanding the traffic is critical.
Question: Would this application trigger the construction of a roundabout at swift gulch as previously
contemplated?
Water:
I would like to see hard data in support of their claim that the medical office use will use less water as
they claim. This should not be a subjective statement. We just need hard numbers of use and the Authority will want this too, I would think.
Please make the above comments part of the public record and please notify me of future public meetings on
these parcels. I will endeavor to be present for the next one. I will also read the application more thoroughly
and let you know if I have additional comments. Thank you!

We will be sure to adjust our building in an attempt to make everybody happy. One area that we cannot modify is the height. We cannot make the deal work at less than 59 feet, and if Brian gets momentum and we are asked to reduce the height, it will kill the deal. It is important, if appropriate, to have somebody let the planning and zoning folks know this ahead of time. I am not sure we would be allowed to, so perhaps somebody with the Town can. We are coming to the meeting on the 17th with a lot more detail and more sketches to address the concerns of Brian, Markian and others. Thank you, Todd

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
From: Susan Fairweather, Director of Economic Initiatives
Date: April 7, 2015
Re: Economic Impact Considerations for the Proposed Medical Office Building
BACKGROUND
The benefits a community receives as a result of the location of a medical office facility are generally
understood to bring a net positive impact to the local economy. In seeking to evaluate the potential economic
benefit from the Buck Creek Medical Office Building (MOB), which has applied for a rezoning of Buck Creek
PUD Lot 1A, I reached out to the NexCore Group, the developer of the MOB, for information regarding the
proposed medical facility. NexCore, due to confidentiality requirements, is unable to provide the names of their
contracted and potential occupants of the proposed building in Avon, but is able to provide relevant facility
data available for this report. In addition, much information can be gleaned from the 2009 Economic Impact
Analysis of the Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC Study), conducted by BBC Research and Consulting, for the
Town of Vail, and 2014 data collected from the State of Colorado Office of Economic Development.
This report looks at the potential economic benefits the proposed MOB will bring to Avon as measured by the
new dollars brought into the community as a result of the construction and operations of the facility.
MOB FACILITY DATA
NexCore Group has provided the following information:
• Construction Square Footage: 49,500
• Tenant Square Footage Estimate: 47,000
• Uses Include: Outpatient and urgent care with ambulance area, seven identified tenant spaces
• Employment Estimate: 70 – 100 employees, “depending on the final tenant mix and associated
services. It is anticipated that over a third of these jobs will be new positions created specifically to
serve this building.”
HEALTH CARE - LEADING ECONOMIC STRATEGY IDENTIFIED BY STATE OF COLORADO
The health care industry is the leading employer in Eagle County and the surrounding mountain resort
communities as defined by the State of Colorado’s Economic Blueprint for Region 12. The Blueprint identifies
healthcare as a key economic strategy for the State. Excerpts from the State’s health and wellness strategic
plan include:
• “This broad-based industry of traditional and alternative health care, fitness, outdoor recreation,
natural foods, health information technology and research initiatives accounted for 15.3 percent of the
gross state product in 2012,1 employed more than 360,000 workers and accounted for over $40 billion
in industry revenue. Even more impressively, it is showing rapid growth.”
• “Colorado health and wellness jobs increased by 10.9 percent during the sluggish recession years
between 2008 and 2012, outpacing the industry’s national growth rate of 6.7 percent.
• “Colorado brings a number of strengths to this new landscape, including its culture of wellness, its
strong health care infrastructure and its history of initiating frank conversations and strong
collaborations to foster health care innovation.”

Economic Impact – Medical Office Building 4-15
AVON –ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS OF MEDICAL RELATED SERVICES
New Property Taxes:
The property under consideration is located in the Town Center West Urban Renewal Plan area with the
increased valuation generating revenue for the Tax Increment Financing District (TIF). For purposes of
example, if the construction improvements bring an increased valuation to the property of $10,000,000, the TIF
generated would be approximately $175,000 per year. This is based on a 29% assessed value ratio and an
overlapping property tax mill rate of 60 mills. TIF revenues are collected into the Avon Urban Renewal
Authority Fund (URA) and are eligible for public facility improvements in the URA, including items such as
sidewalk and bus shelter improvements, as well as costs attributable to the design and construction of the
proposed fire/police public safety building.
Gross Regional Product (2013 data):
The State of Colorado Office of Economic Development, OEDIT, estimates that the annual Gross Regional
Product (GRP) for the Town of Avon for medical related services is estimated at $10,514,044 (Attachment A) -
2013 data. Eagle County (includes Avon) GRP for medical related services is estimated at $95,307,797. This
represents 1.25% of total GRP for Avon and 3.07% for Eagle County. The State’s data further demonstrates that
Avon requires $29.5 million per year in medical services, but only $3.6 million (or 12.2%) is satisfied (or provided)
in Avon. This indicates that $25.9 million, or 87.8%, is being spent, by local citizens, outside of Avon
(Attachment C).
FINDINGS – VVMC STUDY
While the proposed MOB in Avon would not provide the depth of services or employ a like number of
employees as the VVMC, the benefits can be measured similarly, as the Steadman Hawkins Clinic and Howard
Head Physical Therapy Clinics provide similar benefits to the Vail Valley communities.
Benefits include:
• Serve overnight, emergency and scheduled patients. Patients and family members may stay temporarily in
the community in association with medical care, with related spending on lodging, food, retail and local
services.
• Provide full-time, part-time and seasonal jobs for town residents, and the community receives some
benefits from spending by persons who work at the hospital but live elsewhere in the area.
• Often utilize local businesses and contractors for various services and supplies;
• The availability of well-regarded local health care services supports the second home community, which
tends to place high value on convenient medical services. In the same manner, the availability of a local health
care services support ski area and summer visitation in situations where emergency services are required.
• In resort communities, hospital operations can help diversify and balance an otherwise highly seasonal
economy, and the regional hospital facility reinforces the perception of Vail as a regional center.
118
Page 3
Economic Impact – Medical Office Building 4-15
Of note was this finding in the VVMC Study:
Over the past several decades, VVMC’s service area has expanded and a growing share of VVMC business is
generated outside of the Town of Vail. Over the same period, Eagle County’s resident population has
migrated further down valley reinforcing a need for medical services elsewhere in the Vail Valley. In FY
2008, over half of all VVMC outpatient visits occurred at VVMC facilities outside the town of Vail.
HIGHER WAGES GENERATED
The State of Colorado Office of Economic Development data details the 2014 median hourly earnings for
medical related jobs in Avon (attachment B). The wages range from a high of $107.76 to a low of $9.06, with an
average, non-weighted wage of $35.33.
The average salary for the VVMC was $66,000 (or an average of $32.88 per hour) in 2009 according to the
VVMC Study.
OEDIT reports that the average hourly rate for all job types in Avon is $19.23 based on 2014 data. NexCore
estimates an average hourly rate of $34.09, a significant increase over the average wage in Avon.
NexCore Group provided the following estimates for purposes of preparing this report.
RETAIL SPENDING
Typically, about 30 – 35 percent of family income is spent on retail goods according to the VVMC Study. Avon is
home to grocery, discount and building supply stores along with restaurants and assorted retail establishments
who serve the local employment base.
The international reputation and prominence of the Steadman Hawkins Clinic and the Howard Head Physical
Therapy Clinics draws “destination patient” visits for the services in the Vail Valley, often with follow-up visits.
Patients, along with their spouses or families, may stay in the area for multiple days in association with their
treatment and spend dollars at local lodging, retail stores and restaurants. Again, although not known at this
time, this market segment holds get potential from the Avon MOB.
Average Wage Number of Employees Total Salaries Generated
$42,500 20 $850,000
$62,500 40 $2,500,000

Economic Impact – Medical Office Building 4-15
Locals and regional patients also contribute to the local economy. Often visitors using medical services will be
accompanied by family or friends who require local food and lodging during the patient’s stay.
ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS AND IMPACTS
Benefits:
• The MOB is proposed to begin construction in June, 2015 with an estimated completion time of twelve
months. Numerous jobs related to the construction of the building will be created.
• Patient & family spending such as lodging and meals.
Impacts:
• Staff recognizes impacts including additional demand on public infrastructure including, but not limited
to, traffic control and emergency response. Identified impacts are expected to be resolved/mitigated
through the rezoning and project approval process with the Town.
OTHER BENEFITS
The proposed MOB may bring other benefits to Avon besides direct economic stimulation. Second
homeowners and guests have access to high quality medical services, which is an unusual attribute for a small,
relatively isolated community and provides some competitive market advantage. The proximity of emergency
services is also a highly valued guest amenity.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Brian Garner, Town Planner Date: April 28, 2015
Agenda Topic: PUBLIC HEARING – Resolution 15-04
Case #PUD14007
Minor PUD Amendment for Lot 38 & Lot 39, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision
UPDATED FOR APRIL 28 TOWN COUNCIL:
Council first considered the Application at the March 10, 2015 meeting and motioned to continue the case to the March 24, 2015 meeting with additional details provided in the resolution. Resolution 15-04 was updated to include more clarity in:
• Exhibit C - providing site specific details of the approval (PUD Amendment for Lots 38 & 39 Wildridge Subdivision)
• PUD Amendment conditions Pursuant to the March 10, 2015 Council discussion, the minimum livable area proposed by the applicant was reduced from 3,000 square feet to 2,500 square feet. At the March 24, 2015 meeting Council requested more time to study the proposal and motioned to
continue the case to the April 28, 2015 Town Council meeting. Specific action items to staff included: 1. Provide the average single family lot size in Wildridge
2. List of all PUD amendments in Wildridge 3. Review of the PUD amendment eligibility criteria 4. Site visit with the Applicant to better understand the proposal
Staff Response to Action Items 1. The average lot size for Single-Family-Zoned lots is approximately 0.915 acres/39,857 square feet.
The applicant is proposing lot sizes between 0.47 acres to 0.87 acres (some lots include platted open space).
2. The list of all PUD amendments in Wildridge is attached as Exhibit B. The parcels are identified on the map and include the lot and block number. There have been sixteen (16) PUD amendments
approved since the inception of Wildridge.
3. PUD Amendment Categories. Categories of PUD amendments are established and defined as follows for the purpose of determining the appropriate review procedure:
PUD Amendment Categories. Categories of PUD amendments are established and defined as
follows for the purpose of determining the appropriate review procedure:
(i) Administrative Amendment. A proposed PUD amendment is considered
administratively if it provides for the correction of any errors caused by mistakes
that do not materially alter the substance of the PUD development plan as
represented to the Town Council.
PUBLIC HEARING – PUD14007 - Minor PUD Amendment Page | 1
(ii) Minor Amendment. A proposed PUD amendment is considered minor if it
meets the following criteria for decision and has been determined as such by the
Director:
(A) The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the
amount of nonresidential land use or significantly alter any approved
building scale and mass of development.
(B) The PUD amendment does not change the character of the
development and maintains the intent and integrity of the PUD.
(C) The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the
amount of open space or result in a change in character of any of the
open space proposed within the PUD.
(iii) Major Amendment. A PUD amendment that is not classified as an administrative or
minor adjustment is considered a major amendment.
Staff determined the Application is eligible for the Minor Amendment process for the following
reasons:
• The combined lots are entitled for six (6) units. The Applicant is proposing six (6) units.
• The Application does not increase the amount of nonresidential land use.
• Due to development standards such as setbacks and building height, the proposed building scale and mass of development would remain approximately the same as would be expected if the Applicant exercised the existing development rights.
• The character of the development remains residential as opposed to a PUD Amendment that contemplates commercial or industrial uses, for example. Therefore, in the opinion of staff, the PUD amendment maintains the intent and integrity of the PUD.
• The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of open space; conversely the Applicant proposes additional platted and deeded open space that will be added to the PUD.
4. Site tours were conducted with several Council members as requested. Nobody was hit by lightning but the cold was apparent.
Lastly, the Applicant has made one change to the overall plan pertaining to the subdivision plat. The platted
open space is now proposed to be absorbed into Lots C, D, E, and F rather than stand-alone open space
tracts as shown on attached Exhibit C. According to the Applicant, the Eagle Valley Land Trust did not desire to place the tracts of land into a conservation easement. The advantage to this arrangement is that the platted open space land will be held more accountable by the respective property owners and will provide
more clarity for purposes of maintenance and ownership. Staff is in concurrence with this arrangement and feels this is the appropriate method for ensuring clear and proper maintenance of the land.
(End of Update)
Introduction Bobby Ladd with RAL Architects, Inc., the Applicant, representing Wildridge Lots, LLC, the Property
Owner, is requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment (the Application) to modify the allowed building type for Lots 38 & 39, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision (the Property). The current lot entitlements are as follows:
PUBLIC HEARING – PUD14007 - Minor PUD Amendment Page | 2
Lot 38: Two (2) total dwelling units in the form of one (1) single-family-detached structure or one (1) duplex structure
Lot 39: Four (4) total dwelling units in the form of one (1) fourplex or two (2) duplex structures.
The Application is requesting the ability to amend the zoning to re-subdivide the Property to develop a total
of six (6) single-family-detached structures. No change to the entitled density is requested; only a change to the allowed building type. As required by the Avon Development Code, the application is being processed as a Minor PUD Amendment. Attached to this report are a Vicinity Map and the Application materials.
Process
Minor PUD Amendment Process This application is processed under §7.16.060(h), Amendments to a Final PUD, AMC. Subsection (1)(ii), sets forth criteria for a Minor Amendment, while subsection (2)(ii) sets forth the review procedures for the
same process. The application, as submitted, meets the criteria for a Minor Amendment: A. The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the amount of nonresidential land use or significantly alter any approved building scale and mass of development.
B. The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the intent and integrity of the PUD.
C. The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of open space or result in a
change in character of any of the open space proposed within the PUD. Public Notification
The application was noticed in compliance with the Public Hearing and noticing requirements as set forth in the Avon Development Code (ADC) Sec. 7.16.020(4) Constructive Notice. For the PZC hearing(s), a
mailed notice was provided to all property owners within 300’ of the property on January 5, 2015. Additionally, a notice of public hearing was published in the Vail Daily newspaper on January 9, 2015. A new public notification was performed for the March 10, 2015 Town Council hearing consisting of a mailed notice and published notice.
Public Hearings
The application was first considered at the January 20, 2015 PZC meeting where the PZC motioned to continue the application to the February 17, 2015 PZC meeting. Council considered the Application at the March 10, 2015 meeting and motioned to continue to the March 24, 2015 meeting with additional details
provided in the resolution. Council will make a final decision on this Application through a Resolution after
holding one more public hearing on March 24.
Proposed PUD Amendment The Property is currently undeveloped, zoned PUD and is included in the Wildridge Subdivision. The Wildridge Subdivision and PUD Plat contains a Land Use Summary table indicating the number of units
entitled for each individual lot as shown in Exhibit A below. Highlighted are the subject properties with their respective entitlements.
PUBLIC HEARING – PUD14007 - Minor PUD Amendment Page | 3
Exhibit A – Wildridge Subdivision and PUD Land Use Summary
The Application includes a narrative, response to the mandatory review criteria, and preliminary site and building design plans showing the proposed development scenario.
Conceptual Lot Split Plan: As demonstrated in the attached conceptual lot split plan, this Application is requesting to create six (6)
separate lots of record that each would be permitted one (1) single-family-detached structure. The lot split plan incorporates platted and deeded open space into Lots C, D, & F. Approval of this request would supersede the existing entitlement of a duplex and a fourplex on the respective lots. The Conceptual Lot
Split Plan also demonstrates:
• Proposed Lots 38A-38F and respective lot sizes
• Existing easements for slope maintenance, drainage and snow storage
• Existing platted utility and drainage easement
• Proposed new utility and drainage easements
• Proposed building setbacks retaining the existing Wildridge standards
• Proposed platted “No Build” areas
• The primary platted Access, Utility & Drainage Easement
• Maximum building heights of 35-feet or topographic line 8460 as represented on the base
topographic survey, whichever is lower
PUBLIC HEARING – PUD14007 - Minor PUD Amendment Page | 4
Conceptual Site Plan: The applicant has provided a proposed site plan that demonstrates:
• The proposed siting of the six home footprints (conceptual siting)
• Proposed approximated square footage of each home footprint
• Approximate location of retaining walls
• Relationship of primary access drive to lots and homes
• Fire truck/emergency response vehicle turnaround areas
Modifications to Original Application Modifications to the application were requested by the PZC and Council which have been addressed by the
Applicant and a revised application is being presented to Council at the April 28, 2015 meeting. The following is a summary of the presented modifications:
• Consistent with existing entitlements, six (6) total units remain proposed
• Proposed development lots will remain single-family-detached (SFD) units
• Proposed Lot layout has been re-engineered to address neighboring property concerns
• SFD units shift from 5 units on the west side to 4 units
• SFD units on the east side shift from 1 to 2 units
• Maximum building footprints of 3,000-3,500 square feet are proposed
• Maximum residential floor area of 3,500-5,000 square feet is proposed
• A “glass ceiling” additional building height restriction on applicable lots
• Platted and deeded open space is incorporated into Lots C, D, & F
Next Steps if Council Approves: o Major Subdivision review and approval by PZC and Town Council o Major Development Plan with Design Review for each new home proposed (PZC review and approval)
o Building Permit review and approval (administrative)
Staff Analysis Staff worked closely with the applicant to propose a project that meets the applicable review criteria, meets
the intent of the Development Code and the Comprehensive Plan and to mitigate impact to adjacent properties. The proposal to allow six separate single-family-detached structures in lieu of the entitled
duplex and fourplex (or two duplexes) does not change the density and will have an overall positive effect on the mass and scale of the developed property. By separating the potential structural massing, the visual impact of the developed site is minimized revealing increased building articulation, increased light and air
between units, and decreased impact to wildlife migration.
After reviewing the PUD review criteria below, Staff finds the Application is in conformance with the
purpose of the Development Code, review criteria, and any potentially negative impact to neighboring properties has been mitigated to the fullest extent. The development pattern in this portion of Wildridge is a mix of duplex and single-family-detached homes (predominantly single family and duplex structures in a
“low density” pattern with open spaces surrounding developed parcels); the proposed Application will help provide variety in building forms and create a more diverse development pattern.
PUD Review Criteria Pursuant to §7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, AMC, the PZC shall consider the following criteria when forming the basis of a recommendation:
(i) The PUD addresses a unique situation, confers a substantial benefit to the Town, and/or incorporates creative site design such that it achieves the purposes of this Development Code and represents an
improvement in quality over what could have been accomplished through strict application of the
PUBLIC HEARING – PUD14007 - Minor PUD Amendment Page | 5
otherwise applicable district or development standards. Such improvements in quality may include, but are not limited to: improvements in open space provision and access; environmental protection; tree/vegetation preservation; efficient provision of streets, roads, and other utilities and services; or increased choice of living and housing environments.
Staff Response: The stated purposes of §7.04, Development Code, AMC, and §7.16.060, PUD, AMC,
includes statements regarding the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan; regulating intensity of use; avoiding increased demands on public services and facilities; and providing for compatibility with the surrounding area, among other statements. The proposed PUD amendment does not increase demands on public services, and provides compatible building layouts with the surrounding area. It should be noted that all other applicable development standards (parking, design standards, access requirements) would
remain intact. Additionally, the application proposes platted & deeded open space that is non-buildable into three of the lots, representing nearly half of the total lot area.
(ii) The PUD rezoning will promote the public health, safety, and general welfare; Staff Response: Physical separation of the structures does promote the safety of inhabitants in the event of an emergency in that it’s more likely to affect only one dwelling rather than two or more, as currently
entitled. Additionally, the Application will promote the public health, safety and welfare by separating the structures and allowing more light and air between dwelling units which confer additional benefits to the
surrounding community and for wildlife migration across the site.
(iii) The PUD rezoning is consistent with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, the purposes of this Development Code, and the eligibility criteria outlined in §7.16.060(b); Staff Response: The proposed PUD amendment is part of an established PUD, and is therefore not subject to the eligibility criteria or Public Benefit requirements outlined in §7.16.060(b). Consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan is required and analysis is provided below. The Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan includes this property within District 24: Wildridge Residential District. The planning principals specific to this property include the following:
Site buildings of varying sizes along the street to maximize sun exposure, protect views, be compatible
with existing surrounding development, and break up building bulk. The Wildridge District planning principles contemplate enhancing and promoting open space connectivity. Approval of this Application would result in an additional deeded open space tract, improved building
massing, breaks up of building bulk with smaller structures, and maximized sun exposure.
(iv) Facilities and services (including roads and transportation, water, gas, electric, police and fire protection, and sewage and waste disposal, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing development; Staff Response: This PUD amendment does not change the current entitlement of six total residential units;
therefore the existing services can adequately serve the property. The application has been provided to Eagle River Water and Sanitation District as well as Eagle River Fire Protection District for review and no
concerns were raised by these agencies. Additionally, a single curb cut from Wildridge Road East is
proposed thereby reducing the Town’s maintenance (i.e. ditch work) requirements.
(v) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, storm water management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated; Staff Response: The proposed PUD amendment should impose no additional impacts to the natural
environment, wildlife, vegetation, and air beyond the current entitlement since the development rights remain the same with six (6) total units.
PUBLIC HEARING – PUD14007 - Minor PUD Amendment Page | 6
(vi) Compared to the underlying zoning, the PUD rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; and Staff Response: Approval of the PUD amendment would not result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity as the proposed PUD Amendment maintains the existing entitled density, and
increases the building setbacks and utility/drainage easements.
(vii) Future uses on the subject tract will be compatible in scale with uses or potential future uses on other properties in the vicinity of the subject tract. Staff Response: Single-family-detached residential use is more compatible in scale with current and potential uses on other properties in the vicinity of the Property over that of the current development right
to construct multi-family dwellings.
PZC Recommendation
After considering public comments at the January 20 and February 17 PZC meetings, the PZC recommended approval of the Application with two conditions:
1. Lots 38A – 38F shall be required to adhere to the “glass ceiling” maximum building height as proposed by the applicant.
2. Homes constructed on Lots 38A – 38F shall adhere to the following size requirements:
LOT Minimum
Livable Area
Maximum Residential
Floor Area
(Excluding Garage)
Maximum Building
Footprint
(Including Garage)
Lot 38A 2,500 square feet 5,000 square feet 3,500 square feet
Lot 38B 2,500 square feet 4,000 square feet 3,000 square feet
Lot 38C 2,500 square feet 4,000 square feet 3,000 square feet
Lot 38D 2,500 square feet 5,000 square feet 3,500 square feet
Lot 38E 2,500 square feet 4,000 square feet 3,000 square feet
Lot 38F 2,500 square feet 3,500 square feet 3,000 square feet
The PZC recommendation includes the following findings: Findings:
1. The PUD amendment does not increase density, increase the amount of nonresidential land use or
significantly alter any approved building scale and mass of the development. 2. The PUD amendment does not change the character of the development and maintains the intent
and integrity of the PUD. 3. The PUD amendment does not result in a net decrease in the amount of open space or result in a change in character of any of the open space proposed within the PUD. 4. The application was evaluated pursuant to Section 7.16.060(e)(4), Review Criteria, AMC, and found to be in compliance with the mandatory review criteria.
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Resolution 15-04 with Exhibit A, thereby approving the Minor PUD
Amendment application for Lot 38 & Lot 39, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision. Recommended Motion:
I move to approve Resolution 15-04 thereby approving Case #PUD14007, a PUD Amendment for Lot 38 &
Lot 39, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision together with the findings of fact.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Kelly Huitt, Budget Analyst; Scott Wright, Asst. Town Manager
Date: April 23, 2015
Re: 2015 Supplemental Budget Amendment Resolution Nos. 2015-09 and 2015-10
Introduction
A brief presentation will be held at the beginning of this agenda item during during the Town Council
meeting. In addition, a copy of a revised long-range plan is attached to this memorandum as a
reference to the town’s total CIP program.
In prior years it has been the practice to adopt a supplemental budget amendment in order to
update beginning fund balance estimates and generally recognize revisions to the budgets that were
not identified at the time the budget was originally adopted.
This budget amendment involves two resolutions: one for the operating funds (General, Water,
Debt, Fleet, and Transit), and one for the Capital Projects Fund.
Below is a summary of proposed budget revisions by fund and estimated impacts to respective fund
balances. The level of fund balances continues to meet Town policy in all the amended funds.
General Fund
A number of revisions to the General Fund budget have been accumulated since the beginning of
the year, including staffing changes, changes and additions to special events, and other unforeseen
items. The net result of these changes revises the current year surplus down from $1,313,641 in the
original 2015 budget to $495,270. However, because of the large increase in the General Fund
ending 2014 fund balance of $1,149,262, the 2015 estimated ending fund balance is $330,891 larger
than originally anticipated.
After making revisions to the various assignments of fund balance based upon appropriations for
special events and other items, the General Fund stabilization balance, which represents reserves
over and above the required 25% minimum fund balance, is increased by $232,596 to a total of
$566,567.
Page 2
A summary of the changes is listed below:
• $178,122 - Appropriation of costs from the 2015 special events assigned fund balance
Includes Flavors of Colorado ($128,122) and the Latin Music Festival ($50,000)
• $137,700 - Appropriation of items included in the 2014 special events assigned fund balance
Includes Apres Avon ($87,700) and Winter Wondergrass ($50,000)
• $45,000 – Convert 16‘ streetlights to LED
• $50,490 – Additional Building Tech position
• $13,302 – Network consulting services for six months for assistance in the transition of new
IT Administrator
• $10,000 – Lot 5 Drainage Improvements
• $24,000 – Avon Recreation Center print advertising

• $225,000 - Increase Transfers-Out to Capital Projects Fund
Water Fund
Revisions to the Water Fund include the addition of $20,000 in legal fees and minor changes to
worker’s compensation rates.
The net result of the above changes, including revising the Beginning Fund Balance based on
actual audited balances, is a net $51,713 increase to the estimated Ending Fund Balance.
Debt Service Fund
The revision to the Debt Service Fund includes the removal of the $245,162 debt expense
related to the purchase of the skier building.
Transit Enterprise Fund
Revisions to the Transit Fund include the following:
• $134,994 for the 2014 scheduled bus purchase delayed into 2015. This will also increase FTA
grant funds from $328,000 to $453,000 resulting in a net cost to the Town of $9,995.
• $20,261 for a new floor scrubber for the bus barn
• $3,558 to adjust the HVAC contract
• $143,914 - Revise Beginning Fund Balance based on audit results
The net result of the above changes, including revising the Beginning Fund Balance based on
actual audited balances, is a net $109,393 increase to the estimated Ending Fund Balance.
Fleet Maintenance Fund
The $9,933 in minor revisions to the Fleet Maintenance Fund includes slight changes in
personnel and worker’s compensation rates.
Page 3
After taking into account the increased expenditures as well as a $24,638 increase in beginning
fund balance, the amended ending fund balance is $14,706 higher than the adopted budget.
Capital Projects Fund
New projects that are being proposed not previously included in the budget include the
following:
• Joint Public Safety Facility Project:
o Short-term Loan to the Eagle River Fire Protection District - $750,000. The IGA
provides for a maximum loan of $830,000. However current interest rates
indicate the amount around $718,000.
o Design of Joint Public Safety Facility - $270,000.
• Recreation Center:
o Exterior Renovation - $45,000. The exterior renovation includes: west entrance
concrete repair, demolition of the gated area in front of Ascent office, concrete

• Avon Road Landscaping Project - $485,000. The Avon Road 2015 Landscape
Improvements Project is a comprehensive update of the Avon Road landscaping that has
been in place since the construction of the roundabouts in 1998. The proposed 2015
project scope includes new landscaping at the median islands and at Roundabouts #1,
#2, #3, and #5. Another goal of the project is to reduce water requirements by installing
native, drought tolerant plants and water efficient irrigation fixtures.
• Space Needs Analysis - $30,000. This project will assist the Town in determining the
space needs and programming of a Town Hall building in terms of functionality,
accessibility, flexibility and cost effectiveness; and to assist with a facility condition
assessment of the current Town Hall.
Sub-Total Net Impact on Fund Balance from New Projects – ($1,856,000)
Page 4
Revised Projects included in the CIP long-range that are proposed to change in cost, scope, or
timing:
• Transit Bus Shelters - $125,000. A FTA-5311 Capital Funding Grant of $125,000 has been
approved. This project will place bus shelters at Christy Sports and City market stops
and improve signage and add seating at existing shelters.

currently planned for construction in 2016. Updated total cost for this project has
increased from $550,000 to $1,075,000.
• Metcalf Road Bike Climbing Lane Phase 2 - $500,000. Phase 1 is included in the 2015
street improvements. This accelerates the completion of Phase 2 originally planned for
completion in 2019. Notice to proceed will depend upon 2015 real estate transfer tax
collections and will not be given until early fall.
Sub-Total Net Impact on Fund Balance from Revised Projects – ($575,000)
Rollover Projects that were included in the previous year budget that are not yet completed:
• Public Works Lot 5 Drainage Repairs- $56,489.
• Recreation Center Remodel - $17,793.

improvements. This was originally budgeted in 2014 but delayed to 2015.
• Added Asphalt Overlay Contributions from Traer Creek Metro District - $40,000, and
from the Traer Creek Developer - $80,000. The restricted revenues for these
contributions was overlooked in the original 2015 budget.
• Added Operating transfer-in from General Fund - $225,000. Transfer-in from the
General Fund are proposed in order to maintain an adequate reserve level in the Capital
Project Fund of at least $1,000,000.
• Revised beginning 2015 fund balance based on actual 2014 year-end results.
The net impact to the overall fund balance of the Capital Projects Fund of all the above
revisions is a decrease of $98,989. The unreserved fund balance is revised down to $1,008,115
Page 5
from $1,227,104. The revised unreserved fund balance is the minimum that staff would
recommend at this time given the assumptions of revenues and project costs.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer
Date: April 23, 2015
Agenda Topic: April 2015 Update on H.A. Nottingham Park Pavilion and Fishing Pier
Pavilion
The H.A. Nottingham Park Pavilion (Pavilion) was mostly completed in January and the contractor is
planning to complete the items that could not be completed in the winter by mid-May including side
curtains, landscaping and painting the canopy. The project is within the budget and the costs are
summarized below:
Item Amount
Construction $3,469,996
Architecture, Engineering and othe Fees $335,000
Total $3,804,996
Budget $3,870,000
Funds Remaining $65,004
Included in the construction costs is $97,000 for sound baffles attached to the ceiling that are supposed
to help project unamplified sound to the field. The acoustic consultant stated that the baffles will have
minimal effect in projecting sound out to the field because of the height of the canopy and the lack of
side walls, like a bandshell. We are recommending deleting the $97,000 from the project and adding the
funds to the contingency. This will increase the funds remaining to $162,004. If numerous non-amplified
sound events are programed in the future the addition of the baffles can be revisited. A portion of the
remaining funds will be used to pay for several items that were valued engineered out of the project that
now seem necessary including lighting controls, concrete band to contain the pavers in the front plaza,
landscaping in addition to adding sand below the sod infront of the plaza to improve drainage. These
items are estimated to cost approximately $100,000 leaving the project about $62,000 under budget.
Fishing Pier
Over the winter, 7 of the 16 columns that support the fishing pier broke. The structural engineer stated
the damage was from lateral forces of the ice moving. He speculated that it was damaged this year and
not in previous years because shifting ice had a larger then normal force due to the lower lake levels. The
repair is being advertised on the Town’s website and bids are due on Friday, April 24th. The repairs are
scheduled to be completed by May 15th. If the repairs cannot be completed by May 15th then the work will
be delayed until after the summer tourist season. The work is estimated to cost$50,000 and the actual
cost will be available at the Town Council meeting.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Kelly Huitt, Budget Analyst
Date: April 10, 2015
Re: Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Report – February / March
Revenues:
SALES TAX
• Sales tax revenue for the month of February is up $115,277.03 or 17.11% compared to February 2014, and up
17.63% compared to the budget. This increase includes $55,149 from new businesses, and after adjusting for
new business growth, 8.92% is the gain in revenue from existing business for the month. Year-to-date sales
tax from new businesses makes up 41.65% of total year over year growth. February 2015 sales tax revenue is
the highest ever for the month of February.
• February collections are up compared to 2014 for all industries. Other businesses are up 66.11% and Service
related business is up 47.63% for February. These extremely high year-over-year increases are due to a
couple of vendors submitting tax returns for prior years in response to education, outreach and collection
efforts by Town staff, stemming from the Wyndham project. After correcting for these anomalies the actual
increase in sales tax is 11.68%. Other notable categories include Restaurants and Bars and Accommodations
which were up 17.53% and 16.10% compared to February 2014.

the month. Hotels however, were down -6.74%.

• 2015 real estate transfer tax collections for March equal $168,744.22. This is a 234.98% increase from
March 2014, but ($90,370) under the estimated monthly budget. Chapel square was purchased in February
of last year which added $490,000 to the total. If you remove this atypical transaction, 2015 year to date is
actually up 45.80% or $95,142.20 compared to 2014.
Expenditures:
• General Fund expenditures through March 2015 total 31.29% of the budgeted amounts. These
expenditures include the annual Cirsa insurance payment as well as payments for several of the community
grants.
• Fleet expenditures to date are at 28.89% of the total budget. These costs include stock parts and several
blanket purchase orders, which encumber funds for the year for ongoing expenditures such as regularly
purchased shop supplies and monthly copier charges.
• Transit funds are 31.01% expended compared to the annual budget.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
From: Danita Dempsey, Director of Festivals and Special Events
Virginia C. Egger, Town Manager
Date: April 23, 2015
Re: Third Party Management Company for Avon Performance Pavilion – Private Events
AVON PERFORMANCE PAVILION MANAGEMENT PLAN:
The new Avon Performance Pavilion offers three distinct categories of uses:
• SIGNATURE EVENTS: The most primary use is the production of single or multi-day signature events,
such as Reds, Whites & Brews, Salute to the USA and WinterWonderGrass. These events are solicited
from qualified producers and provide for the exclusive use of the Pavilion and the main athletic field,
restricting uses by the general public during the event. Once a detailed production program is
prepared by the producer, Town staff reviews the proposed event and brings to Town Council
recommendations for funding, if requested, and reservation of the event dates. These events, with
Council approval, are then managed through a festival agreement, developed and approved by the
Town Manager.
• TOWN OF AVON RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND OTHER CIVIC USES: This summer and onto the fall
the Pavilion will be scheduled for yoga classes, summer camp activities, a community picnic and other
programs of the Recreation Department and the Town. The Pavilion will be closed to other users
during periods of these programs.
• PRIVATE EVENTS: The third use of the Pavilion is private, public and nonprofit entities for private
events, which are not open to the general public, such as weddings, corporate retreats, graduations,
etc. Already the demand for use of both the event plaza overlooking the lake and/or the full Pavilion
has garnered strong interest without any advertising. Staff feels the best approach to managing these
types of events is through a third party management company. A management company, which will
pay a fee to the Town of Avon, is best positioned to have the expertise needed for these types of
custom events, and can be expected to bring a level of expertise to fully work with local and
regional hotel concierges, regional and national print and on-line publications specific to the
private and public event industry, trained event staff, industry specific vendors for catering,
decoration and FFE needs. These events will be allowed to have exclusive use of the Pavilion. The
park, however, will remain open to the public. Town staff has reviewed the management
agreement the Town of Vail has the Donovan Pavilion as a model agreement for structuring
Avon’s agreement.

To find and contract with a third party management company, staff is taking the following steps:
• The week of May 4th, release and publication of an RFP for a third party management company for the
management of the Pavilion to include rental and deposit fees, reservation plan, third party insurance
requirements, facility guidelines, marketing strategy and lease payment to the Town, including base
lease and event rental fee sharing. The proposed term of the lease is two to three years.
• Proposals will be reviewed by staff with a recommendation and management agreement presented to
Town Council for the selected company. We expect this to be on Council’s agenda no later than July
28th.
• As part of the third party agreement, the Town will designate specific key dates, which the Town will
reserve for use of the Pavilion, both for signature events, Recreation Department programming and
other uses.
During the solicitation, interview and selection process, staff is moving forward to book private events
through a lease agreement, including lease fees, managing these requests in-house.
Should Council have suggestions or questions regarding this management approach, please contact
Virginia.
