Lot 12, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Special Review Use (Transfer of Residential
Development Rights from Unassigned Unit Pool)
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
This application is for approval of a Special Review Use to transfer four (4)
Residential Development Rights from the Benchmark at Beaver Creek Unassigned
Unit Pool to Lot 12, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. Lot 12
is located along West Beaver Creek Boulevard, between Buck Creek Condominiums
(Lot 13) and Alpenflora Condominiums (Lot 11).
Town records indicate that the Benchmark at Beaver Creek Unassigned Unit Pool
currently contains 4 Residential Development Rights. With this transfer, the
Unassigned Unit Pool would have no remaining Development Rights.
Lot 12, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek was originally platted with 12
Residential Development Rights. Town records indicate that in June, 1979,
four Residential Development Rights were transfered from Lot 12, Block 2, to
Lot 7, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, which is currently Balas West
Townhouses. Also, in January, 1980, another four Residential Develonment
Rights were transfered from Lot 12, Block 2, to the Unassigned Unit Pool,
leaving Lot 12, Block 2, with ai assigned density of four Residential Development
Rights.
Lot 12 is located in the RHLD Zone District which allows an average of 20
units/acre. The applicants records indicate that 8 Development Rights are
currently assigned to Lot 12. This would result in a density equivalent to
the original 12 Development Rights or 17.4 units/acre.
STAFF COMMENTS:
According to Section 17.20.020 of the Zoning Code, in approving a Special Review
Use, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make a finding that the conditions
outlined below are satisfied, and that granting the Special Review Use will make
possible the reasonable use of the land.
Determinations:
Does the proposed use otherwise comply with all requirements imposed
by the Zoning Code?
Is the pr000sed use consistent with the objectives and purposes of
the Zoning Code and applicable zoning district?
Is the proposed use designed to be compatible with surrounding land
uses and uses in the area?

STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION - 10/21/85
Avon Commercial Building
Lot 21, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Building Renovation - Design Review
INTRODUCTION:
The Lindsey Group, owners of the Avon Commercial Building which currently houses
First Bank and the Beaver Creek administrative offices, has applied for design
review approval for changes they propose to make to the project.
The space currently occupied by First Bank is the main focus of the renovation .
Christy Sports will be leasing this space after First Bank moves to it's newly
constructed building.
Although much of the renovation is inside the building, the applicant proposes to
make some changes to the building exterior. Some site improvements are also
planned in order to help the project meet minimum parking requirements.
The changes being proposed for the building include the addition of storefront
windows with blue canvas awnings on the first floor, and a set of windows being
added to the second floor office area. New signage is shown on the plans, but
sign details will be provided at a later date.
The applicant is also proposing to construct 7 new parking spaces on-site,
bringing the total on-site parking up to 47 spaces.
STAFF COMMENTS:
According to Section 17.24.010(3) of the Zoning Code, whenever the existing use
of a building is converted to a new use, parking and loading facilities shall be
provided as requir^d for the new use. Since the use is being changed from bank
to a retail sales establishment, the parking requirements must be met for this
more intense use.
The parking requirements for the total building, with the exception of the area
proposed for the retail space, may be calculated under the previous Zoning Code,
while the proposed retail space should be considered under the existing Zoning
Code. These calculations are shown below:
Total Leaseable Area for Project = 15,229 sq.ft.
Subtract Area for Proposed Retail Space = 3,402 sq.ft.
11,827 sq.ft.
Parking requirements for existing office space (11,827 sq.ft.) calculated under
original Zoning Code (1 space/400 sq.ft.) equals 30 spaces.
Parking requirements for the proposed retail space (3,402 sq.ft.) calculated
under current Zoning Code (4 spaces/1000 sq.ft.) equals 14 spaces.
Total Parking Required for the Project = 44 spaces
Total Parking Shown on Site Plan = 47 spaces

Page 2 of 3
Although the >ite plan shows a total of 47 parking spaces, there are at least 3
spaces that do not meet minimum access requirements and should not be counted
toward the total parking requirement for the proje:t. Two of these spaces are
proposed to be constructed dust north of the stairway which serves the proposed
retail space. This area is currently landscaped open space and the proposed
parking spaces are not served by an on-site access. Since this project currently
has very limited open space, Staff would recommend that the landscaping in this
area remain, and that the parking spaces be deleted from the site plan. The
other space in question is located at the southeast corner of the site. The
applicant is proposing to prove this area and construct the 5 parking spaces
as shown on the site plan. The southerly most parking space does not have
improve
sufficient access to make it a useable parking space.
An item that has not been addressed is the screening and location of the trash
dumpster. The dumpster is currently located at the southeast corner of the
site where the new parking spaces will be constructed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
If the Commission finds tnat this application conforms with the attached design
review guidelines, Staff recommends that approval be given specifically for
3,402 square feet of retail space and 11,827 square feet of office space subject
to:
1. Submittal of details for the trash enclosure and it's location for Staff
review and approval;
2. That the two parking spaces which are proposed to be constructed in the
existing landscape area north of the stairway to the retail space, be
deleted from the site plan; and
3. That any future change in use of any part of the building be reviewed for
conformance with applicable parking requirements.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Introduce application;
2. Presentation by app'icant;
3. Commission review of submitted material;
4. Act on application in conjunction with attached design review guidelines.

STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION! - 10/21/86
Eaglewood at Vail - Conceptual Review
Meyers Ranch Annexation - Highway 6 West of Sunridge
INTRODUCTION:
This project was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission for conceptual
review at the October 7, 1986 meeting. Following the review, the Commission
requested that the applicant consider alternate architectural styles and the
possibility of including a limited commercial area within the project. The
Commission further noted that adherence to minimum parking and snow storage
regulations will be required and that special emphasis should be given to the
design of public, pedestrian and vehicular ways in the development of the
project plans.
The revised drawings show four buildings containing a total of 56 two bedroom
units and 129 one bedroom units. The building layout on the site is essentially
the same as presented at the previous meeting. Additional parking spaces have
been provided with expansion of parking lots to the east of buildings B and C,
and the addition of parking spaces under building B. The site plan indicates 268
parking spaces will be provided. Approximately 90 of these spaces are shown as
covered.
Architectural style is unchanged from that presented at previous meeting and
no commercial uses or additional recreational amenities are indicated.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The following comments have been revised from the Staff report dated October 7,
1986 to reflect changes in conceptual plans:
1. Current zoning allows up to 140 residential units on the site. The
proposed project would require conformance with the fractionalization
procedures of the zoning code for the proposed 185 units to be acceptable;
2. Complete information has not been provided, but the proposed structures
appear to meet the maximum building height limitation of 60 feet;
3. The location of the proposed development does not include the property
north of the Eagle River which is restricted to park land or open space
uses subject to the right of Avon Metro District use for water wells or
storage;
4. The conceptual site plan indicates the proposed development conforms
with all applicable setback lines and easements. However, the actual
location of some setback and easement lines will not be determined until
the subdivision process is complete. Also, the easterly parking area is
located at the property line and the landscape buffer snow storage area
is located entirely on the Sunridge property. If this is acceptable, it
should be confirmed in writing by the appropriate body legally authorized
to represent the Sunridge owners;

S. The proposed 268 parking spaces does not meet minimum parking requirements,
unless the criteria for a parking reduction is met and the 15% maximum
reduction is granted by the Commission. These requirements are:
1 bedroom units 129 @ 1.5 = 194 spaces
2 bedroom units 56 @ 2.0 = 112 spaces
Multi -family guest 10 spaces
TOTAL REQUIRED 316 spaces
If the following criteria is met, the Commission may grant up to a 15%
reduction in parking requirements through the design review process:
a. No parking spaces are reserved for use (except by handicapped
persons);
b. The project will be served by the Town's bus system;
c. The project is located wtihin a TC, SC, RHOC or SPA zone district;
d. Adequate snow storage will be provided on-site;
If the maximum 15°G reduction were allowed, minimum parking requirements
would be 268 spaces;
6. The subdivision process has not been completed for this property and any
development should be contingent upon conformance with any requirements
which might be established through this process. These may include but
are not necessarily limited to:
a. Provisions for off-site drainage across the site;
b. Establishment of setback and easement lines for the Eagle River
irrigation ditch and other possible drainage features;
c. Possible dedication for park land or open space;
d. The availability and adequacy of utilities to the site;
7. The following items are not necessarily a part of the conceptual review
but may be critical in the final design process:
a. Access grades, site grading and drainage, snow storage and parking
lot run-off treatment facilities;
b. Access (entrance) permits must be obtained from the Colorado
Department of Highways. Acceleration and deceleration lanes will
probably be required and could possibly affect site grading;

c. On-site water line and additional fire hydrants may be required
for minimum fire protection levels;
d. On-site and off-site pedestrian circulation. This is particularly
important since the project is located close to, but not on a Town
bus route.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the Commission review the available information for conformance
with the design guidelines as outlined in the Planning and Zoning Commission
Rules and Regulations and as attached to this report. If the improvements are
not found to be in conformance with these guidelines, the Commission should
identify the areas of non-conformance and if possible, provide some guidance
for incorporation in development of final plans.
If the proposed improvements are found to be in conformance with the guidelines,
the Commission may wish to give a concepl4ual approval based upon limited
information available with the condition that further approvals will be
subject to:
a. Submittal of all materials and information as required by the Planning
and Zoning Commission Rules and Regulations;
b. Final development plans conform with all applicable zoning regulations
including parking, drainage, snow storage, setbacks, building heights
and densities, including fractionalization of development rights;
c . Conformance with all applicable subdivision regulations;
d. The issuance of access permit by the Colorado Department of Highways
and conformance with all requirements of such permit.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE:
1. Introduce application;
2. Presentation by applicant;
3. Staff comments;
4. Commission review and action.

Outside Vehicular Storage, and Off -Site Parking
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
Colorado Mountain Express has applied for Special Review Use approval for office
space, vehicular repair and outside vehicular storage on Lots 16 and 17, Block 1,
Benchmark at Beaver Creek. The Avon Business Service Center is located on
Lot 16, Block 1, which is in the IC Zone District.
Allowed uses in the IC Zone District are:
Warehouse, laboratories, electrical substation, light manufacturing plants,
wholesale sale outlets, showrooms, industrial, construction and wholesale
offices, accessory building.
Special Review Uses consist of:
Residential unit when used in conjunction with business operation,
automotive or other vehicular sales and repair shops, retail sales and
personal service outlets, restaurants, public uses, outside storage
areas, general commercial offices.
The applicant proposes to operate their van/limousine service from offices in
the Avon Business Service Center, which will also house a vehicular maintenance
operation which will service their fleet of vehicles. They also propose to
construct a vehicular parking lot and storage yard on Lot 17, which is south
of the existing Service Center. The storage yard will be used for vehicle
storage as well as employee parking. The landscaping, grading and screening
of this storage area is shown on a plan submitted with this application.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Avon Business Service Center was originally approved as a 5 building project
with 106 parking spaces all to be located on Lots 16 and 17, Block 1. The
project was originally approved as 55% warehouse and 45% office space. To data,
2 buildings, 38 parking spaces and 2 loading spaces have been constructed on
Lot 16. Lot 17 is currently undeveloped with the exception of some minor grading.
The 2 existing buildings contain a total of approximately 17,000 square feet.
Parking requirements for this amount of space, calculated according to the
55%-45% mix of warehouse and office space respectively, amount to 31 spaces.
There are currently 38 parking spaces on-site. The parkins lot and storage
yard that the applicant proposed to construct on Lot 17, should mitigate any
parking concerns that may arise from the approval of the proposed uses. This
proposed parking lot will be capable of holding at least 30 vehicles.

The proposed parking lot and storage yard covers an area of approximately
136' x 54'. It will be screened by a 6' high fence to be constructed of chain
link material covered with continuous wood slats stained to match the existing
buildings. The surface of the parking lot will be asphalt. There are proposed
to be 3, 20' high pole mounted, high pressure sodium light fixtures to light the
parking lot. An access will be provided off the existing driveway on Lot 16,
and the lot will have a pair of wood gates for security. Plans call for a
filter gallery on two sides of the lot to treat the runoff, and the applicant
proposes to screen the fence by using cottonless cottonwood and redtwig dogwood
trees and serviceberry shrubs, placed in various locations around the lot.
Since the subdivision process was never
between Lots 16 and 17, the parking lot
considered off-site parking. According
Code, the applicant must obtain a lease
running for the duration of the use. A
to the Town for it's records.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE:
