Introduction
Riverside Park Associates has applied to amend the PUD guide for Lot 1, Brookside Park. The amendment is to list restaurants as an allowed use. The PUD currently allows office and
limited retail operations but did not originally provide for restaurants. One of the reasons was to try to limit uses within the development that may generate more traffic. The property
was originally zoned RHDC which allowed restaurants as a use by right but were intended to be in conjunction with lodging uses. The proposed restaurant would be located within the
main office building.
The applicant would like to establish a restaurant in the building primarily for the convenience of the tenants. The restaurant would, however, be open to the general public.
Process Summary
For any proposed PUD or PUD Amendment, the Planning & Zoning Commission shall conduct an initial formal hearing comprised of a public hearing and Commission review. A report of the Commission
stating its findings and recommendations along with the staff report shall then be transmitted to the Town Council.
Any PUD Plan or PUD Amendment requires approval by ordinance of the Town Council. The Council shall, after receiving the report and recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission,
hold a public hearing and act upon the proposed project. Following the required hearing, the Town Council shall consider the comments and evidence presented at the hearing and evaluate
the application and approve, approve with conditions or deny the application in whole or in part.
PUD Design Criteria
According to the Town of Avon Zoning Code, Section 17.20.110, the following shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating a PUD.
Conformance with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan’s Goals and Objectives.
Adding restaurant use within the PUD would not be in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The PUD already allows commercial uses.
Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the town, the sub-area design recommendations and design guidelines of the Town.
Not applicable
Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood, and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, character, and
orientation.
The use will not change the building design.
Uses, activity, and density provide a compatible, efficient, and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The restaurant use could result in a small increase in traffic to the site and result in traffic with more “turn over”. Conversely, it could eliminate some trips from the complex since
tenants would have the option of having meals on the premises.
Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed.
Not applicable
Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic
quality of the community.
No change
A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation that is compatible with the town transportation plan.
No change
Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
No change
Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional, and efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. The phasing plan shall clearly demonstrate
that each phase can be workable, functional and efficient without relying upon completion of future project phases.
No change
Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems, roads, parks, and police and fire protection.
No change
That the existing streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD.
No change
Development Standards
Development Standards including lot area, site dimensions, setbacks, height, density control, site coverage, landscaping and parking shall be determined by the town council as part of
the approved development plan with consideration of the recommendation of the Planning commission.
No change in development standards.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to list restaurants as an allowed use in the Brookside PUD.
Recommended Motion
Approve Resolution 97-12, recommending to the Town Council of the Town of Avon to approve the PUD amendment to list restaurants as an allowed use at Lot 1, Brookside Park, Town of Avon,
Eagle County, Colorado based upon the following findings:
The PUD amendment is consistent with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan.
The PUD amendment is compatible with the surrounding uses and neighborhood.
