PZC Packet 111588STAFF REPORT 'TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 15, 1988 Lot 26/27, Block 1, Benchmark Mountain Center Building Les Shapiro Jerry's Auto Repair Discussion of Special Review INTRODUCTION Les Shapiro, on has requested approval. at Beaver Creek Use behalf of Jerry Vekre, Jerry's Auto Repair, to modify the original application by Staff The original application indicated a 2100 square foot space on the first floor of the building and that is the present location of Jerry's Auto Repair. 71 ? C-�,where The business) -is rec,.esting to move to the basement, there is-4;Fi80, square feet of space that was previously approved as mini -storage. The applicant has submitted aspplan that allocates 1/3 of the space for parking, 1/3 of the ace to a drive aisle and 1/3 of the space to work area. The area for parking can accomodate +@ cars per Town of Avon parking standards. The space also has in place a mechanical exhausting system that is designed to expell automobile fumes. At present this system is not utilized. STAFF COMMENTS This proposal allocates less square footage to work area than the previous proposal, and is more mechanically and spatially suited to the use. I would like to propose basing the parking requirements for the new space on the entirety of the square footage, ')468$ square feet, which would be +4- parking spaces and crediting back 40 _Spaces to the site. If Jerry's Auto Repair would like the required parking to be based on the square footage of the work area, my recommendation is to require a separation wall between the work area and the parking garage, as is required by the UBC. Subsection 17.20.020 of the Town of Avon Municipal Code states: "No approved Special Review Use may be modified, :structurally enlarged, or expanded in ground area unless such modification, enlargement or expansion receives the prior approval of the Design Review Board and the Town Council by repetition of the granting procedure provided in this chapter." Staff Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission November 15, 1988 Lot 26/27, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Mountain Center Building Les Shapiro Jerry's Auto Repair Discussion of Special Review Use Page 2 of 3 The literal interpretation of this section would require the applicant to apply for a new Special Review Use, public notification and hearing and approval by Council. The applicant would not be able to receive final approval until December 13, 1988 if a new application is required. The applicant feels that this is unduly burdensome and points out that the Resolution does not specify the location of the physical space within the Mountain Center Building. Section 6.10 - Design Review Considerations - The Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of a proposed project: Section 6.11 - The conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon. The use is in conformance with the Zoning Code . As proposed the solution would lessen parking impacts to the site. Sections 5.12 and 6.13 - Not appl';cable. Section 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. Proposed location improves circulation by separating Jerry's Auto Repair auto access from other tenants. Section 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. More cars will be out of sight, presumably a visual asset to the development as a whole. Section 6.16 - Not applicable. Section 6.17 - NCL applicable. STAFF RECOMMMENDAIION If the Commission feels that the application falls within the discretionary powers of the Staff, it is recommended that the Staff be authorized to provide approval as a modification to the original application.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 15, 1988 Tract Q, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Benchmark Shopping Center Don Tandy, Barber Sign Variance Request INTRODUCTION Don Tandy is requesting a sign variance for his newly located barber shop in space M 1028 of the Benchmark Shopping Center. Mr. Tandy is proposing to mount a barber pole next to the entry of his business. Our sign codes defines sign as "a means of identification... that directs attention to a... place, activity... or business." The barber pole is in addition to the 10 square feet of signage allowed per the approved sign program. Sign area of the pole, per our sign code is 5 square feet. The proposed pole is internally lit and is stationary. STAFF COMMENTS Barber poles are a universally recognized symbol of a barter shop. The goal of the sign program is to regulate visual clutter and discourage an environment dominated by competing signage. Symbols or signs that have an accepted meaning are less likely to confuse and more likely to effectively communicate. A barber pole is a fitting "symbol" in the context of a shopping center with a variety of uses. STAFF RECOMMMENDATION Approve sign variance as submitted.

Zone Change - Amendment to Wildridge SPA INI .20DUCTION Linda Rogers, on behalf of Section 36, Inc. is requesting a Zone Change to transfer one (1) unit from Lot 64, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, which currently has four (4) RDR's, to Lot 23, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, which currently has two (2) RDR's. Lot 64 is a .52 acre lot with grades of 3% to 10% over the entirety of the lot and approximately 320 lineal feet of street frontage. Lot 23 is 1.40 acres with grades of approximately 10% to 15% over the lower half of the lot and grades of over 30% over the upper half of the lot. Lot 23 has a public access easement along it's western edge that constitutes approximately .12 acres. Lot frontage is equal to 25'-0" outside of public access Pasement. Lot 23 has approximately the same buildable area, i.e. lot area under 30%, as Lot 54, but not the street frontage that is desirable for efficient site vehicular circulation on a multi -unit project. If Lot 23 were to receive a third unit the parcel could be fractionalized and therefore up to seven (7) residential units could be built on the site. Lot 23 presently has two (2) units assigned to it. Parcels with two (2) or less units cannot be fractionalized.

Section 36, Inc. is the owner of residential development right and the Wolffs are owners of Lot 23. Transfer of residential development rights in other than a SPA and a residential use in connection with a business district are both Special Review Uses. Residential uses not in connection with a business are not allowed in an IC Zone District. Residential use in connection with a business would typically be restricted to employees of the business, therefore offsetting additional parking needs. Currently 'there exists a two bedroom residential unit on the second floor of the building as indicated on the plan with this report. This unit cannot be legally occupied as a residence until the Special Review Use is granted and the residential development right transferred.
