Introduction
Cordevco, hired by Vail Resorts, is proposing to build a 12-unit deed restricted employee
housing project. The site is currently zoned Industrial Commercial (IC) and would require a
rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow the residential use. The project would
consist of ten 2 bedroom units (approximately 1,000 square feet each) and two 1 bedroom units
(approximately 700 square feet each). Vail Resorts intends for this project to provide a portion of
the employee housing units required by the recently approved Lot C and Confluence PUDs.
The lot faces south, rising up from Nottingham Road. It is relatively steep, with slopes between
18% to 25%. It is boarded by Beacon Hill and Bristol Pines condominiums on the east and Tract
B to the west.
Design Review Considerations
The Commission’s Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6.10, provide the framework for
evaluation of this project. Additional guidelines and regulations are contained within (but not
limited to) the Comprehensive Plan, the Design Guidelines, the Zoning Ordinance and the
Subdivision Regulations.
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.
