Mixed Use
Tract B and Lot 22, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver

The owners of Chapel Square have requested two exterior changes to the design based on "value
engineering" that was done to meet financing requirements.
• The first revision is to reduce the length of the arcade on the west and north end of Building
B and the north end of Building C, which faces the Chapel.
• The second revision is to change the roof material over the building entrances on the south
side of Building B from a standing metal seam to an asphalt composite to match the main
roof material.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6. 10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
2. The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be
constructed and the site upon which it is to be located.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
In staff's opinion removal of the building arcade on the north side of Building B will be in
conflict with this criterion. The north side of Building B is adjacent to Chapel Place, which will
be one of the connecting streets to property to the east. This side of the building will be highly
visible. Also, the arcade will provide a better pedestrian area, to shield pedestrians from weather
and Staff believes the removal of the arcade from the west side of Building B and the north side
of Building C will be acceptable, because these are the sides of the buildings and are not the
primary pedestrian areas.
Staff believes the change in the lower roof material at the building entrances will be acceptable
since it will match the main roof of the building.

6. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that
values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
7. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.
