TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Community Development Director Avon RE: Introduction to Three -Mile Planning DATE: February 10, 2025 C O L o H A U o SUMMARY: I plan to introduce Three-mile planning in a work session at your February 101h meeting. Preparation and approval of a Three -Mile plan was identified as a Community Development Department Goal last year. This report is provided for background and to share progress related to our Three -Mile planning efforts. INTRODUCTION TO THREE-MILE PLANNING: The Colorado Revised Statues ("CRS") authorizes municipalities to adopt a Three Mile Plan. In 1987, the legislature made changes that limited the expansion of municipal boundaries further than three miles in any given year except under special circumstances. Communities are required to have a plan in place. Plans are required to be updated routinely. A Three -Mile Plan is a planning document used to coordinate development beyond a municipality's boundaries, guide regional infrastructure development, describe preferred uses and development for properties that are adjacent and near the municipal boundaries, and designate properties that are eligible to consider for inclusion within Town boundaries if there is mutual consent. BACKGROUND: The Town of Avon has never adopted a Three -Mile plan. After being identified as a Community Development Department goal, a Request for Proposals ("RFP") to solicit professional planning assistance for the Sun Road/East Avon planning and Three -Mile Plan took place. Staff selected different teams for these planning efforts based upon experience, team composition, and local knowledge. Scot Hunn, Hunn Planning and Policy LLC, and Pedro Campos, Zehren and Associates, were brought on board in early 2024 to get the Three -Mile effort started. To date, staff has met with several property owners and/or entitles, including: Beaver Creek Resort Company, Eagle Vail Metropolitan District, Eagle Vail Property Owners Association, Kayak Crossing, Presbyterian Church, Carol Kreuger, Polar Star, State Land Board, and the United States Forest Service. Before public hearings commence, these stakeholders will be provided with a draft version of the plan for comment and confirmation to be included. The Avon Development Code Section 7.36.030 designates the Avon Comprehensive Plan as the "plan in place" referenced in the CRS when utilizing/implementing a Three-mile Plan. This chapter will be amended once a Three -Mile plan is adopted by the Council. All property within three miles of Avon's municipal boundaries were identified and then a set focus area (see map on following page) within the three-mile buffer was selected. Much of the property in the potential Three -Mile Plan area is already developed, has little potential to redevelop, or is United States Forest Service land. As reflected in the Three-mile boundary map, only the areas which may have potential for development or redevelopment that may involve coordination with the Town of Avon, as well as U.S. Forest Service lands which are directly used by the Avon community for recreation purposes, are included in the more detailed study area. (970) 748-4413 matt@avon.org PLAN EXAMPLES: Three -Mile plans range in specificity and style. Most communities adopt plans that are general in nature. For example, Fraser, CO chose the `less is more' approach to meet CRS requirements. Buena Vista, CO goes into more detail with specific properties and associated service extensions. Avon's draft plan falls somewhere in the middle. ADOPTION PROCESS: The CRS do not specify the process or notification requirements when adopting a Three -Mile Plan. As such, public notification for adoption of the Three -Mile Plan is subject to the Avon Development Code requirements. The Three -Mile Plan will be considered a "Comprehensive Plan" by definition, and subject to the notification and approval process. PUBLIC NOTICE PZC TOWN COUNCIL ANALYSIS & PUBLIC HEARING PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT RECOMMENDATION > ORDINANCE Published notification in the Vail Daily and public hearings before PZC and Council will be required. Approval of the Three -Mile Plan is by Ordinance with adopted findings of fact. Based upon meeting schedules it is likely for a final plan to be brought forward for adoption at one of your next meetings.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECORD OF DECISION DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: TYPE OF APPLICATIONS: PROPERTY LOCATION: FILE NUMBER: APPLICANT: December 9, 2024 Comprehensive Plan Amendment N/a CPA24001 Town of Avon A Avon COLORADO This Record of Decision is made in accordance with the Avon Development Code §7.16.010(F)(1) PZC DECISION ON #CPA24001: Recommendation for Town Council to Approve FINDINGS: RECOMMENDED FINDINGS: CPA24001: 1. The proposed amendment to the Comp Plan by way of creating the Sun Road Redevelopment (subarea) Plan- as an extension of the Comp Plan, is both compatible with the goals and policies of the entirety of the Avon Comprehensive Plan while recognizing that Avon has unique needs that require a thoughtful framework (like this Plan) to achieve a well -planned and beneficial redevelopment. 2. This amendment complies with the Review Criteria outlined in Section §7.16.030(c) of the Development Code and offers increased support for Community Housing efforts and protections for one of Avon's important gateway areas. 3. The proposed amendment bolsters the purpose statements of the Development Code in increasing its support for Community Housing coupled with the expectation of implementing good design; and 4. The proposed amendment promotes the health, safety, and welfare of the Avon Community by supporting a stable economic community with opportunities for Community Housing for families and young professionals. GENERAL CRITERIA FINDINGS: 1. The development application is complete. 2. The application provides sufficient information to allow the Town Council to determine that the development application complies with the relevant review criteria. 3. The development application complies with the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan; and 4. The demand for public services or infrastructure exceeding current capacity does not require mitigation at this time and with the adoption of the Sun Road Redevelopment Plan as there is no development application accompanying this Comp Plan Amendment that results in a physical project that utilizes public services or infrastructure.
