Design Review
INTRODUCTION:
Subdivision
Associates, Inc.
Last year, Vail Associates, Inc. was given approval to use the current Lodge
at Avon site for temporary employee and overflow parking. Since construction
is scheduled to begin on the Lodge at Avon this winter, this site is no longer
available for Darkino. Vail Associates, Inc. has applied for approval of a
temporary use for employee parking and bus parking on Lots 2 and 8, Block 3,
Benchmark Subdivision.
Plans call for employee parking on Lot 2, Block 3, which is located east of
West Beaver Creek Boulevard, between Highway 6 and Sunridoe Phase II. Applicant
plans to orade the site and out down a gravel surface to minimize mud trackino
onto West Beaver Creek Boulevard. Parking attendants will be provided and no
overninht parking will be allowed.
Temporary bus parking is being requested for Lot 8, Block 3, which is located
west of blest Beaver Creek Boulevard, and south of the railroad tracks. The
site is currently fenced and the applicant will grade and nravel this site as
well. Plans call for this lot to be used only when the west lot for Beaver Creek
is filled with quest's cars (approximately 60 days use is projected). nnly bus
parking will be allowed, and the lot will be chained and locked when not in use.
Vail Associates will be responsible for snow removal in both of these areas.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The use of vacant lots as temporary parkinq areas is not specifically covered
in the current zoning ordinance. In the absence of specific criteria, we
recommend the following guidelines be used to evaluate a site for use as a
temporary parking facility:
1. Existing or proposed access to site from existing streets;
2. Number of narking spaces proposed and impact upon traffic flow;
3. Drainage from the site and possible impact on potable water supplies;
4. Site surfacing and possibility of excess debris and mud being tracked
onto streets and highways;
5. Compatibility of use and visual impact on adjacent properties;
6. Length of time for proposed use and restoration of site at end of use period;
7. Written approval from the land owners allowing the proposed use.

RE: Requested Zone Change from RHLD to SPA
Lot 45, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
4W o
At the regular meeting of November 5, 1985 the Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed a zone change request for Lot 45, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek.
After holding a public hearing, the Commission mede the twelve determinations
included in previous report to Council, dated November 5, 1985. These
determinations and the resultant recommendation for denial of requested zone
change were based upon the following concerns:
1. Current uses in the project and surrounding area consists of a mixture
of short and long-term residential uccupancies. The conversion to
time share limits the use to short -terra and eliminates the flexibility
in use that currently exists;
2. The proposed use is expected to be more intense than current uses in
the surrounding area. Strong opposition to this mere intense use
was expressed by several owners of adjacent Droperties;
3. Four major time share projects have been approved to date in the
Town of Avo-i. The Commission is very concerned about the potential
impacts of the cumber of time share projects approved on the future
qrowth and development of the Town;
4. The Commission does not feel that the applicant adequately addressed
concerns regarding the displacement of long-term residents and the
loss of long-term housing;
5. The proposed zone change and use mai result in similar requests for
other developed and undeveloped properties in the area. This could
conceivably result in all projects along West Beaver Creek Boulevard
becomming time share projects;
6. The proposed zone change and use does not conform with general intent
of the zoning code in that time share projects are limited to TC and
RHDC Zone Districts, and then only by Special Review Use. Also, the
proposed project is in conflict with fractionalization section of the
zoning code which does not allow fractionalization of prrjects having
a Certificate of Occupancy;
7. The proposed zone chan51- and use creates an undesireable and unstable
environment due to the essentially commercial uses with constant
turnover in occupants and increased demand upon municipal facilities;

B. A more creative use of the project may have been to fractionalize
existing units and sell as conventional condominiums which provides
flexibility for both long and short-term occupancies.
The Planning and Zoning !'^^mission respectfully requests the Town Council
consider these concerns when making the recommended determinations prior
to final action on the requested zone change.
