Project type Exterior Light Fixture Modification
Legal description Lot 19, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision —Small
Residence
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) Residential — 2 units
Address 4214West Wildridge Road
Introduction
This single-family residence received final design approval on September 3, 1996. During recent
TCO inspections, staff discovered a number of design modifications made without staff or
Planning & Zoning Commission approval. At the July 17 meeting, the Commission approved
site, landscape and architectural modifications.
The applicant is now asking for approval of two new exterior light fixtures. The approved light
fixtures were placed on the majority of the building; however, fixtures with clear glass were
placed at the secondary front door and at the lower south patio.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 4. 10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. The conformance with setbacks, massing, access, land use and other provisions of the Zoning Code.
2. The conformance with other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon.
3. The type and quality of materials of which the structure is to be constructed.
4. The design of site grading and drainage to minimize impacts to adjacent sites, rights-of-way and
easements.
5. The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to minimize site disturbance,
orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or other significant alteration of
existing topography.
6. The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and
public ways, with respect to architectural style, massing, height, orientation to street, quality of
materials, and colors.
7. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary
or aesthetic values will be impaired.
8. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and
Programs for the Town of Avon.

Staff Comments
Staff is concerned with the proposed fixture's potential to create light spillover, or trespass.
Section 4.23 Subsection C of the P&Z Procedures, Rules and Regulations states:
1. Area lighting shall generally be by metal halide, cut-off type fixtures with a maximum mounting
height of 15 feet for walkways and 25 feet for parking areas. Floodlights are discouraged except as
accent for architectural features. Light spillover to adjacent properties must be minimized.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of the proposed exterior light fixtures.
Recommended Motion
"I move to deny the proposed exterior light fixtures for the secondary front door and the south
patio for Lot 19, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision as depicted on the application dated July 29,
1998, based on the finding that the fixtures will cause light trespass and therefore do not comply
with section 4.23 C 3. of the P&Z's Procedures, Rules and Regulations.
If you have any questions regarding this project or any planning matter, please call me at
748-4030 or stop by the Community Development Department.
