1. Purpose and Intent
Design Philosophy
The general design philosophy for the Town of Avon is to preserve and protect property
values by creating an aesthetic quality throughout the built environment of our
community. The Town should continue to be perceived as a contemporary mountain
town, complementary to the natural landscape and unbuilt environs. The Town should
appear as a cohesive unit comprised of simple building forms, subdued colors, and
predominantly pitched roofs. In residential areas, the relationship between buildings and
the natural environment should be harmonized rather than dominating. Landscaping
should blend the surrounding natural environment and the home, not hide one from the
other. Form, scale, proportion, and materials should support the natural environs and
reinforce those characteristics that uniquely identify a neighborhood's built environ as it
relates to the Town.

2. Authority
The authority to enact 'Design Review Guidelines' is granted by Chapter 2.16 of The
Avon Municinal Code, which specifically states:

a. To prevent excessive or unsightly grading of property which could
cause disruption of natural watercourses or scar natural landforms;
b. To ensure that the location and configuration of structures, including
signs and signage, are visually harmonious with their sites and with
surrounding sites and structure and that there shall be conformance to
the master plan of the town;
c. To ensure that the architectural design of structures and their materials
and colors are visually harmonious with the town's overall appearance,
with surrounding development, with natural and existing landforms,
and with officially approved development plans, if any, for the areas in
which the structures are proposed to be located;
d. To ensure that plans for the landscaping of property and open spaces
conform with the rules and regulations as prescribed by the Town and
by this chapter and to provide visually pleasing settings for structures
on the same site and on adjoining and nearby sites (Ord. 83-11).
Purpose and Intent

review, and rule on applications for the design of any proposed alterations to real
property, including land and any improvements on that land, within the Town of Avon.
Scope
The scope of these procedures for design review includes but is not limited to site
grading, excavation or fill; the location and configuration of structures on a site; the
architectural design of structures including color and materials; landscaping of sites

systems of same. The Commission shall review and act upon the general design and
appearance of any building, construction, paving, grading, or landscaping proposed on
any lot or parcel of land within the Town, including municipal and other government
projects. It shall be unlawful to begin any such work prior to approval by the
Commission.
Compatibility
These Rules of Procedure are in accordance with Section 2.16.070 of the Avon Municioal

B. Residential Building Design
General Design Character
In addition to the stated Design Philosophy, and General Design Compatibility, a
residential building must conform to setback, building area ratios, and height limitations
of the applicable zone district. Buildings should be oriented to take advantage of solar
gain and view corridors, where possible. Additionally, building design and location
should generally minimize impacts on solar and view corridors of neighboring properties.
It is preferred that residential buildings be designed as a composition of mass elements
rather than larger single 'blocks' that appear unrelated in form and context.

Buildine Heieht
The height of structures, unless otherwise specified in a planned unit development, shall
conform to the zone district limitations stated in Title 17: Zonine Reeulations. The
definition of height is set forth in the 'Definitions' section of these guidelines. No
exceptions to the height requirements shall be made, except for penetrations that add
architectural variety such as flues, chimneys, cupolas, etc. Penetrations to the height
limitations must be in scale with the structure and surrounding property.
(DELETE PICTURE)
Building Height will be determined by utilizing the site development plan and elevations.
All ridge elevations, and numeric existing and proposed grades must be labeled on the
site plan to accurately determine height. Additionally, the elevation plans must show
existing and proposed grades (also labeled in numeric form), such as the illustration
above.
Buildine Materials and Colors
The intent of these guidelines is to provide architectural control to ensure that the
architectural design of structures and their materials and colors are visually harmonious
with the town's overall appearance, with surrounding development, with natural and
existing landforms, and with officially approved development plans. These guidelines
should represent the minimum standard to achieve this goal, without being so
cumbersome as to not allow varied high-quality design that meets this intent.
Requirements:
1. The use of high quality, durable building materials is highly encouraged.
2. The following materials and wall finishes will not ordinarily be permitted on the
exterior of any structure: asphalt siding, imitation brick, asbestos cement shingles
or siding, imitation log siding or plastic. Metal siding, concrete or concrete block
will be permitted only with specific approval of the Commission. Each building
must use a minimum of two materials.
