PZC Packet 082190STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Lot 20, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Linda Rodgers for Wildwood Investment Company Benchmark Plaza Office and Retail Condominiums Revised Sign Program Design Review INTRODUCTION Linda Rodgers, on behalf of Wildwood Investment Company, requesting approval of a revised sign program for tKe Benchmark Plaza Building, located on Lot 20, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of June 'g, 1990, Jan Chenault, owner of Casa Bella, requested design review approval of two awnings and two signs for her rew business located in the west end of the Benchmark Plaza Building. The Commission granted approval of the awning and signage proposed for the south side of the building and denied approval of the awning and signage proposed for the west side of the building. Since the new Casa Bella sign did not comply with the comprehensive sign program for the building, nor does any of the existing signage, the Commission was very concerned that the sign program be updated to reflect existing conditions. The Commission's approval of the Casa Bella sign was conditional "upon the owners of the Benchmark Plaza Building presenting a revised and acceptable signage program for the entire building to the Staff within sixty days". A revised sign program has been submitted to Staff and is ready for Planning and Zoning Commission review and adoption. A summary of the major changes to the sign program is as follows: 1. A new title has been added which reflects the facL that the sign program has been rewritten. 2. A new first paragraph has been added which explains that the new sign program replaces the original program and its first amendment. 3. Some miner changes were made to the sign criteria 4. The section on exterior sign specifications has been totally rewritten to reflect existing and proposed signage on and around the building. 5. A new signature block has been added to the last page.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Lot 63, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Grand on Avon Comprehensive Sign Program INTRODUCTION The owners of the Grand on Avon are requesting aporova -)t comprehensive sign program. This program includes all signage currently considered for the Grand on Avon and consists of building identification signs, tenant signs, directional and informational kiosks and traffic control signs. The applicant has submitted sign program information in both narrative and graphic form. Ine attached sign program details the number, type and size of the proposed signs. STAFF COMMENTS The building identification aspect of this sign program includes three (3) building identification signs, one on each north side tower utilizing 4 ft. pan channel letters at 93 square feet each, 60 feet high. One sigr will be located on the south side porte cochere entrance. fhe porte cochere sign will consist of 3 ft. pan channel letters for a total of 50 square feet. This building identification signage appears to greatly exceed the sign areas displayed on similar buildings, such as the Avon Center and the Comfort Inn. The staff feels that one north side building identification sign is sufficient to meet the needs of the applicant. The two proposed north side signs present much more signage than that necessary to identify the business. It should be noted that the applicant is requesting to utilize a special material for the face of these building signs. The sign face will appear black during daylight hours, yet when illuminated will tran:.mit white light for evening display. The tenant signs consist of a total of 21 signs. The retail spaces on the north side mall and the south side at Benchmark Road will all display a similarly shaped 20 square foot internally lit box sign. The plexiglass face will be interchangeable to allow for tenant turnover. There will be 15 of these signs. The applicant is requesting 4 tenant signs of 63 square feet e r i 1 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 2 of 3 Lot 63, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Grand on Avon Comprehensive Sign Program each for the retail spaces at the east and west elevations and 2 tenent signs of 90 square feet each for a different location on the east and west building elevations. The Staff believes that all six of these signs are grossly oversized. All of these locations have very good street exposure. The Staff feels that appropriate business identification can be achieved with a much smaller sign. The Avon sign code discourages the use of internally lit plastic cabinet signs. This type o`' sign however, has been utilized extensively in the recent past within the Town. The Board may want to weigh this precedent carefully in reviewing the proposed sign materials. The kiosk, and directory are freestanding ,igns and fall well within the guidelines of the sign code. Directional signs will consist of individual letters mounted directly to the building and will utilize indirect light sources. The letter color will match the building trim. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Staff has several concerns with the proposed sign program and recommends tabling of this request unless acceptable revisions are made. We feel that two (2) building identification signs on the north side are unnecessary and that the six larger tenant signs are grossly oversized. With these exceptions, the rest of the proposed program appears to be well designed. The issue of sign type and material should be resolved by the Commission.

"-, �-N STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Jack Scurlock for Coastal Mart, Inc. Front Yard Setback Variance Request Public Hearing INTRODUCTION Jack Scurlock, on behalf of Coastal Mart, Inc., is requesting a variance to allow a proposed gasoline pump canopy to encroach 20 feet into the required 25 foot front yard setback on Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. The 24 foot wide x 80 foot long x 17 foot high canopy will be supported by six 1 foot x 1 foot columns (two per gasoline pump island). The two northernmost columns will also be within the required setback area. The total amount of canopy encroachment being requested is 480 square feet (24 feet x 20 feet). STAFF COMMENTS Before acting on a variance application, the Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance: SECTION 17 36 40 Approval Criteria A. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity; STAFF RESPONSE: This property, and that immediately to the north and west, is zoned Residential High Density and Commercial (RHDC). The RHDC zone district is intended to allow for a mixture of varying term residential occupancy and some commercial activity. Lot 1 is a pie shaped lot (3 sides) with its southern lot line immediately adjacent to the Colorado Department of Highways right-of-way (I-70). To the west are Lots 2, 3 and 4, all of which are vacant at this time. Since the RHDC zone district allows a maximum building height of 80 feet, it is possible that fairly tall structures could be built on these lots and he subjected to a view of the top of the proposed canopy (480 square feet more than if variance is not granted). Lots 67 and 68 to the north are built out (Pizza Hut and parking lot) and should not be affected by the proposed variance. B. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcements of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special STAFF REPORT TO August 21, 1990 Page 2 of 4 THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Jack Scurlock for Coastal Mart, Inc. Front Yard Setback Variance Request Public Hearing privilege; STAFF RESPONSE: On February 3, 1987. the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission approved Coastal Mart's Design Review application for a completely new layout of improvements on the property. This new layout involved the replacement of the old 'building with the new one and the replacement of 5 gas pump islands (all of which were in the 25 foot front yard setback area) with 3 new pump islands (one of which is in the front setback). The new building is right on the 25 foot setback line. The combination of the triangular shape of this lot and the previously approved location of the gasoline islands greatly limits the applicant's ability to provide the desired level of customer service. The applicants have indicated that the canopy is necessary in order to provide improved lighting and weather protection to all stalls, thereby increasing customer safety and convenience. The requested variance appears to be the minimum necessary to accomplish this goal. C. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, dic:tribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety; STAFF RESPONSE: It would not appear that the variance, if granted, would have a negative effect on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities or public safety. As mentioned above, the proposed canopy may actually serve to increase public safety. SECTION 17 36 50 Findings Required The Commission shall make the following written findings before granting a variance; A. That the granting of the variance well not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations of other properties classified in the same district; B. That the granting of the variance will not be STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 3 of 4 Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Jack Scurlock for Coastal Mart, Inc. Front Yard Setback Variance Request Public Hearing detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially Injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; C. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: 1. The strict, literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title, 2. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone, 3. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is for approval. The requested variance of 20 feet into the front yard setback area for a distance of 24 feet appears to be the minimum amount necessary to provide a safer and more convenient use of the gasoline islands in their existing and previously approved locations. n STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 4 of 4 Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Jack Scurlock for Coastal Mart, Inc.

Over Gas Pumps Jack Scurlock, on behalf of Coastal Mart, Inc., is requesting final design approval of a new canopy over the existing gas pump islands on Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. Lot 1 is zoned RHDC and is approximately 29,185 square feet in size. There is currently an 1,800 square foot convenience store, seven parking spaces, three gas pump islands and !3,600 square feet of open space (48% of site) on the lot. The proposed canopy is 24 feet x 80 feet in size and approximately 17 feet high. The three foot high fascia of the canopy will match the style and colors (red, black and white) of the building. The fascia is made of 1/8" clear plastic painted on the inside surface. The proposed aluminum trim around the top and bottom of the canopy is proposed to be silver (shown as black on the drawing). The canopy columns (two per gas pump island) will be painted light grey (same color as existing light poles). The underside of the canopy will be finished with 12 inch wide interlocking "c" panels with factory baked on gloss white paint (to reflect light better). ThP existing light poles (one per island, 14' high) will be replaced with 16 "down lights" on the underside of the canopy. These lights v:ill be 400 watt non -glare mellow halights. The top of the canopy will be painted with an oxidized rust resistant paint of a red iron color. Drainage patterns associated with this new canopy will be discussed at the meeting. Since this canopy is proposed to be located within 5 'feet of the front property line, the applicant has also submitted a variance application in conjunction with this design review request. STAFF COMMENTS The Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of a proposed protect: 6.11 - The conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon. J a STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 2 of 4 Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Jack Scurlock for Coastal Mart, Inc. Installation of New Canopy Over Gas Pumps Final Design Review COMMENT: The proposal will be in conformance with the Town of Avon Zoning requirements, provided that the accompanying variance application is approved by the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission. 6.12 - The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located. COMMENT: The type and quality of materials is consistent with Town standards. 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. COMMENT: The design of the proposed canopy would not appear to have any negative site impacts to adjacent properties. Drainage patterns will be virtually identical to the existing condition. 5.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. COMMENT: Staff sees no conflict with this criteria. 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. COMMENT: The visual appearance of the proposed canopy as viewed from neighboring properties and public ways seems positive with the exception of the uncovered top portion of the canopy. The metal grid work of the canopy roof will be highly visible from Swift Gulch Road and possible future development on Lots to the west of Lot 1. The roof of the canopy would not appear to be visible from I-70, however, it is very difficult to determine without seeing the structure on site. 6.16 - The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired. COMMENT: Staff sees no conflict with this criteria.

COMMENT: The proposal is in general conformance with adopted Goals, Policies and Programs of the Town of Avon. Lot 1 is located within the Nottingham Road Commercial District. As described in the Avon Comprehensive Plan, this area is very important to the Town's identity. Development within this District should reflect the standard of development that occurs in the Town Center and Core Commercial Area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this design review appl-•ation with the following conditions: 1. The treatment of the top of the proposed canopy is discussed and resolved to the satisfaction of the Design Review Board. 2. More detailed drainage information must be shown on the drawing3 which accompany the building permit application. 3. In order to reduce the potential for excessive glare off of the proposed canopy, no aluminum surfaces should be left unfinished, i.e., trim around top and bottom of canopy fascia, etc. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 4 of 4 Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Cereek Jack Scurlock for Coastal Mart, Inc.

The sign code restricts development signs to 16 square feet. The applicant has stated that the variance is necessary and warranted duo to the width of the right-of-way separating the Lodge of Avon site from the edge of pavement on Avon Road. The distance from the Avon Road to the Lodge at Avon property varies from 120 to 180 feet in width. In December of 1988, a similar variance was granted for a development sign on the Sunroad property STAFF COMMENTS When granting a variance the fullowing criteria should be taken into consideration: A. The relationship of the requested variance to existing and potential uses and structures in the vicinity. COMMENT: The variance is similar in scale to one approved for the Sunroad property in 1988. The size of the property and distances involved are similar to the Sunroad situation. Many other development signs in the community are much closer to the public way. B. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity. COMMENT: The zoning code allows a development sign of 16 square feet. The applicant's request is for 32 square feet, which is double the allowable size. The width of right-of-way, plus the required 1) foot setback places the sign approximately 180 feet from the roadway. At t;iis distance a 32 square foot sign seems appropriate. C. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the requested variance. COMMENT: Staff has no further comment. STAFF REPORT TO August 21, 1990 Page 2 of 3 THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Lot 1, Lodge at Avon Subdivision Westmark Properties Development Sign Variance FINDINGS REQUIRED: The Planning and Zoning Commission shat, make the following findings before granting a variance: A. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity. B. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: i. The strict or literal inuerpretation and enforcement of the regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship 'inconsistent with the objectives of this title; ii. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity; iii. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is for approval. The distance involved between the sign and the roadway represents a reasonable hardship in the display of a development sign. The proposed sign represents a reasonable balance between the regulatory standard and the hardships inherent to the site. Staff would add the condition that this r�pproval be valid for a one year period. -„s -.1N I., STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 3 of 3 Lot 1, Lodge at Avon Subdivision Westmark Properties Development Sign Variance RECOMMENDED ACTION 1.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Lots 13, 14, 15, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Robert and Barbara Kedrowski Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan Public Hearing INTRODUCTION Robert and Barbara Kedrowski are requesting approval of the Wildridge Acres preliminary plan application. Thie preliminary plan involves the resubdivision of Lots 13, 14, 15, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision. Since the proposed resubdivison involves a change in lot usage from the originally approved plan, an SPA Amendment/Zone Change application has been submitted in conjunction with this preliminary plan application. On May 15, 1990: the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Wildridge Acres Sketch Plan and on May 25, 1990, tha Avon Town Council approved the sketch plan with the following conditions: 1. The application for a SPA Amendment/Zone Change should accompany the submittal of the preliminary plan. 2. New letters must be provided by the owners of Lots 13, 14, and 15, specifically authorizing Mr. Kedrowski to make preliminary plan application and change the zoning of these lots. 3. The preliminary plan submittal must include a development guide, which will be used by the Town's Design Review Board to ensure that all structures within this development are compatible with one another and are in harmony with the natural environment. 4. The preliminary plan submittal must include a copy of the proposed covenants for this subdivision as well as a copy of the proposed documents for creating a homeowner's association. 5. Lots #15B and #15C should be amended to provide a minimum lot frontage width of no less than 25 feet. 6. No sales of raw (undeveloped) land shall be allowed. Staff has determined that the applicant has currently complied with all of the above listed conaitions of the sketch plan approval. The creation of a homeowners association is no longer necessary, since the roads wiil not STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 2 of 6 Lots 13, 14, 15, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Robert and Barbara Kedrowski Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan Public Hearing be private and the comm)n open space has been removed. The Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan consists of 12 single family residential lots ranging in size from 6,500+ sq. ft. to 26,000± sq. ft. The average 1,L size is 9,956 sq. ft. A summary of existing and proposed lo': sizes and allowed uses is as follows: EXISTING SIZE DENSITY/USE Lot 13 1.12 Acres 4 units residential Lot 14 .69 Acres 6 units residential Lot 15 1.57 Acres 2 units residential 3.38 Acres 12 units residential PROPOSED Lot 1 9906 sq.ft./0.23 AC Single Family Pes.

The applicants intend to vacate all existing lot lines and easements (one utility easement will just be amended slightly) to facilitate the creation of the 12 new lots and two public roads (Shepherd Court and Ked Lane). All lots include building envelopes within which all portions of the future buildings will be contained. The building envelopes are setback 25' from O'Neal Spur, 10' from all side and rear lot lines and 20' from all internal streets. The 20' front Yard setback from Shepherd Court and Ked Lane differs from the 25' setback normally required, however, Section 16.08.150 of the /,von Town Code (definition of Specially Planned Area) states that an SPA is to be developed under a unified plan which does not necessarily correspond in lot area, density, STAFF REPORT TO August 21, 1990 Page 3 of 6 THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Lcts 13, 14, 15, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Robert and Barbara Kedrowski Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan Public Hearing lot coverage, open space, or other requirements of existing subdivision and zoning regulations. The applicants have irdicated that all homes will be built with the same exterior architectural theme in mind. Each potential home owner will have their choice of 7 to 8 different floor plans. Three of the 12 lots have been specifically designated for two story homes, 4 or 5 will have garden levels and the remainder will be one story homes with a walkout basement. The size of the houses will range between a minimum of 1,800 sq. ft. and a maximum of 2,400 sq. ft. Each home will have a two car garage. Exterior building materials include wood siding, stucco and Woodruff shingles. The color of the fascia of all 12 homes will be the same. No home wi!l exceed 35' in height, measured from finished grade to the peak of the highest ridge on any side of the building. STAFF COMMENTS The Avon Planning and Zoning shall review and consider the the following factors: Commission and Town Council preliminary plan in terms of A. Whether the proposed subdivision conforms to Avon's and other applicable regulations, policies and guidelines and whether it represents good planning practice. B. Reviews of all reports on file and others available, pertaining to geologic, soils, wildfire, flood and airport hazards, minerals, resource �reas, and significant wildlife areas. Consideration shall also be given to the guidelines and recommendations as prepared by the appropriate agency, to mitigate hazards and to protect resources. COMMENT: The Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan appears to be in general conformance with the above listed criteria. The Avon Comprehensive Flan provides the following guidelines in support of the proposed resubdivision: - encourage the complete development of the Wildridge/ Wildwood areas. STAFF REPORT. TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 4 of 6 Lots 13, 14, 15, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Robert and Barbara Kedrowski Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan Public Hearing - promote opportunities for the development of housing which is affordable to existing and new town residents. - review undeveloped sites and assess their suitability to accomodate future growth. - evaluate existing housing supply and areas planned for development and make adjustments where appropriate. In addition, the newly released Eagle County Housing Needs Assessment indicates that there is a need for an additional 800 units within the valley. The housing study also shows that single family homes are by far the preferred housing type. Although Staff fully supports the Wildridge Acres concept, we have certain technical concerns with the plan that have not been resolved to date. These concerns are as follows: 1. The grading plan, as currently drawn, is inadequate in some areas (major discrepancies in contour lines along O'Neal Spur) and unacceptable in others (grading beyond property lines to the south, proposed finished slopes steeper than 1:1, etc.). There appears to be far more grading proposed for this lot than is necessary or reasonable. 2. The sediment control plan is inadequate. 3. Telephone and cable T.V. line locations have not been shown on the utility drawings. 4. The typical drainage and utility easement shown on the preliminary plan is confusing and unacceptable in its present form. 5. Shepherd Court alignment ml:st be designed with a curve rather than a P.I. (Point of intarsection). 6. The Architectural Specifications for this subdivision (Exhibit A of the Wildridge Acres Protective Covenants) includes wording that differs from the Town's standard requirements. These differences are: C a STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 5 of 6 Lots 13, 14, 15, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivison Robert and Barbara Kedrowski Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan Public Hearing A. The maximum building height of 28' is to be measured from the garage slab to the ridge line, rather than from the lowest point on the building. B. Driveways may be left in gravel or covered with concrete or asphalt. C. All portions of the proposed houses and garages must be entirely within the building envelopes (setback lines) except decks. Apparently decks may be placed anywhere on the lot, including drainage and utility easements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Wildridge Acres Preliminary Plan with the following conditions: 1. The final plat for this subdivision should not be signed until staff concerns 1 - 5 have been resolved. 2. Those portions of the Architectural Specifications for Wildridge Acres which differ from the Town's requirements must be discussed and resolved to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission and Town Council.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 2 of 3 Lots 13, 14, 15, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Robert and Barbara Kedrowski Wildridge Acres SPA Amendment/Zone Change Public Hearing STAFF COMMENTS Section 17.20.070 (Specially Planned Areas) of the Avon Town Code stat?s that any Amendment to an approved SPA plan shall be reviewed and approved according to the provisions or Chapter 17.28 (Amendment to Zoning Code and District Map) of the Avon Town Code. The Staff suggests that the following criteria be used in evaluating an SPA Amendment. 1. That the proposed amendment is consistent with the efficient development and presentation of the entire SPA. COMMENT: The Wildridge Acres resubdivision proposal would not affect the previously approved density of this property (12 dwelling units). The proposed building type, coverage and layout, open space, and circulation and parking patterns will be significantly different than those that would result from the existing zoning of the property. The proposed covenants of Wildridge Acres appears to promote development that is compatible with the surrounding community and in harmony with the natural environment. 2. That the proposed amendment does not affect in a substantially adverse manner either the enjoynment of the land abutting upon or across the street from the SPA or the public interest. COMMENT: This proposed amendment should not adversely impact adjacent private or public properties. The placement of building sites and proposed 4rchitecture of the buildings appears to be sympathetic to the view corridors of surrounding properties. The applicants have agreed to enter into a Subdivision Improvements Agreement with the Town to assure the proper installation of all public improvements (roads, water and sewer lines, etc.). In addition, all buildings will be required to receive Design Review approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Benchmark Plaza Office and Retail Condominiums Revised Sign Program Design Review INTRODUCTION Linda Rodgers, on behalf of Section 36, Inc, is requesting approval of a revised sign program for the Benchmark Plaza Building, located on Lot 20, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of June 19, 1990, .!an Chenault, owner of Casa Bella, requested design review approval of two awnings and two signs for her new business located in the west end of the Benchmark Plaza Building. The Commission granted approval of the awning and signage proposed for the south side of the building and denied approval of the awning and signage proposed for the west side of the building. Since the new Casa Bella sign did not comply with the comprehensive sign program for the building, nor does any of the existing signage, the Commission was very concerned that the sign program be updated to reflect existing conditions. The Commission's approval of the Casa Bella sign was conditional "upon the owners of the Benchmark Plaza Building presenting a revised and acceptable signage program for the entire building to the Staff within sixty days". A revised sign program has been submitted to Staff and is ready for Planning and Zoning Commission review and adoption. A summary of the major changes to the sign program is as follows: 1. A new title has been added which reflects the fact that the sign program has been rewritten. 2. A new first paragraph has been added which explains that the new sign program replaces the original program and its first amendment. 3. Some minor changes were made to the sign criteria 4. The section on exterior sign specifications has been totally rewritten to reflect the existing signage on and around the building. 5. A new signature block has been added to the last page. ,-%% AOON STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 21, 1990 Page 2 of 2 Lot 20, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Linda Rodgers for Section 36, Inc.
