PZC Packet 110789Staff Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission
November 7, 1989
Lot 72, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Buck Creek Plaza Building
BACKGROUND OF REQUEST
The Buck Creek Plaza building was constructed under County regulations, prior
to incorporation of the Town of Avon. Consequently, the majority of uses in
the building have been considered as pre-existing conditions and have not been
required to conform to Town of Avon parking regulations.
In 1984, a Special Review Use was approved for seven offsite parking spaces
in order to allow the applicant the ability to utilize an additional 1405
square feet of building area as retail space.
the applicant applied for this variance of seven spaces in order to negate the
requirements of the Special Review Use.
This variance request was continued at the 10/17/89 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting to allow further review of this request.
The Town of Avon has determined that as a legal non -conforming structure, no
increase in parking is required by the use of the additional 1405 square feet.
Therefore, no action is required on this variance application.
