Lot 63s Block 2. RM C 89 - Peregrine Village _ Seecial Review
Use -_ Transfer of :30 Dev-elooment Rights to Lot 55.y Hlpck
BM RC_ - Con't_ from 2_/28/85 Regular Meeting
Wood stated that at last meeting, Staff was requested to
provide information on impact of transfer with regard to
Master Plan. Impact on Master Plan is that transfer of
Development Rights is in the same planning and zoning
district and both are high density areas. This does riot
affect overall district density. Construction of residential
units on Lot 55 would be contingent on approval of a specific
development plan which must address other zoning matters such
as building area coverage and height, parking lot coverage
and open space, as well as other items that may be addressed
in the Design Review process. Staff recommends that if
transfer is approved, it be contingent upon approval and
recording of Final Flat for Peregrine and that Flat confirm
that 30 residential Development Rights are available for -
transfer and that approval be contingent upon execution of a
waiver by PPL. binding upon itself and its successors of any
rights it may h<,ve to development of Lot 6:3 to the extent of
a density of :30 units per acre.
Greg Gage, representing applicant PPL stated that Lot 55 was
part of Town Center that originally, when platted, was
stripped of its density and that density was moved to Lots
47--54 and Lots 61-64. Average density for Lots 61-64 was 33
units per acre and average density, with this transfer, has
not been increased. Gage also believed that Lot 55 and A,,�n
Center would soon be for sale.
Davis asked why there was never any density on Lot 55. He
expressed concern that there might have been a reason for
that and is there acceptable ingress/egress. Can Lot 55
stand alone with this density transfer and can this lot be
developed.
Cuny had no problem with transfer, but had concerns of

development occurring with plans that might not work.
Gage stated he believed there was no plan for that site at
this time. He explained that it is possible to build 103,000)
SF using 1/2 of the lot.
Lamont commented with regard to Master Plan and stated that
given the location and reality of what the airport is asking
for, a 7 story building would be the maximum. Downtown sites
that are developed to the maximum will be very urban and will
have to have underground parking. This cannot really be
addressed until a development plan is presented.
Discussion followed regarding concerns of access to the site.
Wood stated that only provision in Code for transfer of
density is through the Special Review Use procedure.
Gage stated owner of Lot 55 is Cal -Colorado.
Discussion followed on submitted Staff report and
determinations and findings required for Special Review Use.
Blairclosed the public hearing.
Gage suggested to Commission that conditions be placed on
approval.
Cuny motioned to approve transfer of 30 residential
Development Rights from Lot 63 to Lot 55 based on the
following criteria: it complies with all requirments of
Zoning Code; -that it is consistent with objectives and
purposes of Zoning Code; and the proposed use is designed to
be compatible with surrounding land uses; and that
development of 30 units would not be approved unless
developer can prove that A-E of February 28, 1985 Staff
report can be met before development occurs.
Motion died due to lack of a second.
Commission members reviewed Special Review Use criteria, A-E.
Gersbach motioned to recommend approval of the transfer of 30
Development Rights from Lot 63 to Lot 55.

storage.
Cuny mentioned the use of the name 'Vail Valley Holiday Inn'
and if that would not be confusing to guests who might think
they are in Vail instead of Avon.

that it relates to Vail, but yet it is not the same. Holiday
Inn did not feel people would know where Avon was. It will
be "listed in the phone book: u:;der Holiday Inn in Vail.
Tatman stated that in regard to the appearance of building,
it had been modified in that balcony areas are inset to give
a shadow effect.

balcony areas and explained those to Commission members.

design and felt appearance was more in keeping with design of
Valley.

including more greenspace in front areas. He had no proble=m
with parking lot as presented and that plan include walkway
and bus stop in greenbelt area.
Wood suggested that final action be contingent on a number of
items; project is short parking spaces that requires Special

finalized prior to final approval. Wood commented that
Commission give applicant clear direction on design, etc.,
and that a request of moving building back cannot be done
without changing plat.

reduction, they would be 16 parking spaces short.
