TO: Planning and Zoning Commission Members A FROM: Jena Skinner, AICP, Planning Manager �� O RE: REF25002 Village (at Avon) Parcel 1, Planning Area A - Mixed - Use Development Village (at Avon) DRB Referral Application DATE: July 1, 2025 SUMMARY: This report presents to Avon Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") a referral for a new, mixed -use development plan for Planning Area A ("PA -A") of the Village (at Avon) ("VAA") Planned Unit Development ("PUD"). This referral and development plan provided by the VAA Design Review Board ("VAA DRB") is not subject to a majority of sections in Chapter 7 of Avon Development Code ("AMC"), and not subject to the formal Town of Avon review process, outside of obtaining building permits. PZC is tasked with formulating comments that the DRB can use for their formal review. The Town, owner of Tract B (PA-B), has been, and continues to be, supportive of development in the Village (at Avon) and recognizes strong opportunities for partnerships and coordination that enhance the quality of this area, as well as increase its attractiveness for additional private investment and continued development. Kensington Development Partners ("the Applicant") has submitted plans to the VAA DRB for the development of Parcel 1, which centers on the implementation of a Whole Foods and other retail pads, as well as residential condos, north of Chapel Place and immediately south of the proposed grocer (see DRB materials, Attachment A, and inset image, next page). The project is governed by two (2) documents: The VAA Design Review Guidelines ("Design Guidelines"), and VAA PUD Guide ("PUD Guide"). Per the Design Guidelines, "The DRB shall refer to the Town of Avon's Planning and Zoning Commission, for comment only, and not for approval or disapproval, of Development proposals submitted to the DRB." The PUD Guide contains specific standards for projects in Planning Area A, which is included as part of Staff's analysis. Planning areas of the Village (at Avon) PUD on the valley floor/south of I-170 970-748-4023 jskinner@avon.org Page 1 of 13 BACKGROUND: The Village (at Avon) PUD was initially annexed in 1998, which established the planning areas for this development through the approvals of the associated development plan and the adoption of the VAA PUD Guide. Since 1998, the PUD Guide has been amended several times, including a significant update in 2012. In 2025, Planning Area A: Village Center Mixed -Use Projects permits high -density residential with a mix of uses that focuses predominantly on commercial uses. For reference, Planning Area A is similar in acreage and permitted uses to West Town Center and the neighboring East Town Center. As the VAA did not immediately divide the overall site into lots and parcels, roads, and utilities - typical of most development patterns in Eagle County - only certain roads and utilities have been established to date. As such, road and utility layouts will be modified and established as development proceeds over the next few years. Town staff have been working for the last several months with the Applicant and Traer Creek (current land owner) to establish a complete road network, and resultant lot layout for all of Planning Area A. Future phases will determine the ultimate location of Planning Area B ("PA-B"), which was platted before the conveyance of this parcel to the Town of Avon. Future phases will also determine the location of Park 1 ("P1 "), which will connect this area to the eastern areas of the VAA (see Planning Area Map, page 1). Neighboring residential and adjacent existing commercial uses/developments PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The site location is in PA -A of the VAA, situated between E Beaver Creek Blvd and Chapel Ally/Wells Fargo. The lot- Parcel 1, is most commonly known for housing the Salvation Army for many years, has gentle slopes from the north to south, and is largely dry and unimproved currently after removing the former trailer used by the Salvation Army. Deceivingly, there is a substantial grade change between Interstate 70 and Chapel Place as the area drops down to the Eagle River. This Planning Area will be re -graded with the commercial and residential development needs, as well as for proposed road layouts. All vegetation will be removed, and the site will be re -landscaped accordingly.

A Pre - Design Conference with the VAA DRB was conducted on June 12, 2025. This will? be the PZC's only review of the project. Staff will provide the VAA DRB with a letter reflecting the Commission's comments. Application to PZC Referral DRB Final Building Permit VAA DRB Review Review Application RECOMMENDED CONSIDERATIONS: Below is a list of design suggestions reflecting the analysis contained throughout the rest of this report. Staff suggests PZC discuss these points, and any additional suggestions or considerations that could be helpful for the VAA DRB: REF25002 - VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 3 of 13 Commercial/Retail Plan: 7 Emoloveel Bea" Grocery 26,000 sf 5 504'-8" City Market LO 130' \P�, 494. 5 arKm D n 502' E G H i Wells Fargo J .c 8E r reek ou evara� '' 1 —_ 504'-8" ° Retail 4'500 S � 192 Spaces incl. 5 covered spaces ; Retail) y 500sl i la Q ® # -80 0 j498' Res' Amen y Spac® 1. The proposed building does not include adequate architectural investment in the western side.

Please provide bicycle parking areas, trash/recycling receptacles and other site features dedicated to each retail location; 3. The dumpster locations for all commercial uses need to be identified on plans. Whole Foods needs to consider waste diversion of compostable and recycling of materials as well, as these services are available in our valley. The "other retail areas" will need a consolidated and dedicated area for trash and recycling dumpsters, identified as early as possible, as currently, no space is available for waste haulers around these pads; 4. The site plan needs to indicate where and how many electric vehicle capable, electric vehicle ready, and electric vehicle installed spaces are being installed. At least one (1) EV-installed space must be available for ADA parking. This includes the other retail areas as well; REF25002 - VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 4 of 13 5. Landscaping plans need to acknowledge conservative water use and irrigation, and vegetative material should be "Waterwise" drought -tolerant native plants; 6. It is encouraged for the applicant to include use of bioswales to help manage stormwater, parking lot drainage, and to accommodate snow storage needs; 7. ADA parking spaces need to be identified on the site plan for all retail locations; 8. Design considerations, implementing energy off -sets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions using PV / Solar Panels or similar, need to be incorporated on plans; 9.

A lighting plan shall be submitted to the Town in accordance with DRB Guidelines and Town Criteria PLANNING ANALYSIS: The following section includes the applicable commentary and analysis for this referral. As the VAA is exempt from the majority of the Avon Municipal Code, the following analysis is based on the requirements of the VAA PUD Guide and DRB Deign Review Guidelines. Allowed Use and Density per PUD Guide: Planning Area A is intended for mixed -use projects, where: • No single retail business shall occupy more than 60,000 of consolidated Gross Square Footage • Proposed commercial uses exceeding 60,000 require Special Use Review • Commercial Gross Square Footage is a set percentage per Planning Area. The mix of commercial uses in this Planning Area ranges from 20% min to 80% max • Density is a set percentage per Planning Area. For Planning Area A residential is an allowable 30% min to a 80% max of the mix of uses for this area, with a max density of 25 units/acre for Planning Area A. Staff Response: As noted above, Planning Area A has general minimum and maximum percents provided for the entire area. Being the first mixed -use development being proposed in PA -A, this project would be in conformance with this restriction. Lot Coverage, Setback and Easements per PUD Guide: Minimum Building Setbacks: 1. Southerly and Westerly boundaries of Planning Area A: 20 feet. 2. (2) All others: None, except as may be necessary to accommodate utilities, drainage, access, fire and building code regulations and the flood plain of live streams. Staff Response: It is important to clarify that this concept is only subject to the north and western property line setbacks as setbacks are required for the planning area boundary only, there are no internal setbacks within the planning area. It appears that this proposal is conforming to setbacks. Building Height per PUD Guide: "Portions of Planning Area A located 250 or more feet from the southerly boundary of Planning Area A: 80 feet" Staff Response: The PUD allows up to 80 feet for this defined portion of Planning Area A. The residential building- the tallest structure being proposed, as presented, is conforming to the 80 foot limit. This area intentionally left blank REF25002 - VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 6 of 13 Design Theme per DRB Guidelines: The Village Design Philosophy "Highlights". • "In order to create a unique, pedestrian friendly, vibrant, successful, and long lasting town that enriches the quality of life and maximizes/enhances and preserves the value of the Property, the design of all Development within the Village must, among other things, distinguish itself by being unique, sustainable, interesting, attractive, and must respect the mountain setting as well as complement the surrounding Development within the Village... The Overall Design Theme is to establish an attractive appearance for visitors and residents and yet be flexible enough to allow for affordable design solutions." • "The attractive appearance expected for Development consists of, among other things, innovative and attractive architecture that promotes sustainable ideas and is sensitive to the surrounding area." • "The DRB shall not accept exceptions to the Design Theme and Design Philosophy that break the pattern of unique and attractive architecture for Development at the Village, as any exceptions will negatively impact the Village and will promote unattractive architecture for Development in the future." WEST ELEVATION SCALE r =20 Staff Response: Overall, the project conforms with the Design Theme language and provides an appropriate mountain aesthetic. It includes natural muted tones, building articulation, interactive windows, and design that blends the interior with the outdoors. Staffs only major critique centers on the western side of Whole Foods, where it does not embrace 4-sided design. Parking: per DRB Guidelines: "Planning Area A —Parking within Planning Area A generally should be underground or structured for commercial and residential development due to the pedestrian friendly nature of Planning Area A and the high density allowed. If parking is above ground, it is recommended that the parking be enclosed and structured, however the DRB recognizes that certain development will require surface non structured parking. Parking will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis to ensure that the mixed - use pedestrian nature of Planning Area A is maintained." "All parking lots, parking spaces, and access ways shall be in compliance with Exhibit C to the PUD Guide" Staff Response: Exhibit C of the VAA PUD guide has very extensive parking provisions, for several scenarios and uses. Importantly, when sharing parking, there is a possible reduction to parking that may be achievable depending on the uses and time of day for these uses. Staff has requested a copy of the applicant parking calculations but has not received this information. As parking is on a case -by -case approval by the DRB, Staff is confident that this review body will be careful in their analysis for parking. REF25002 — VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 7 of 13 The project has a mix of surface and integrated parking. Located in the residential structure, is a mix of retail and residential parking, with surface parking to be shared by the three (3) potential retail sites. Per the applicant, they are proposing 436 parking stalls, with 220 of the 436 located within the parking structure. Note. Entrance points both surface and internal to the garage, are indicated in yellow. Please take this overlay as a concept, as Staff could not get both plans done by separate designers, to line up exactly. Access Drive and Street Front per DRB Guidelines: "Access to the building sites will require careful consideration of, among other things, the existing topography, buildings' solar orientation, and the integration of the present and future public vehicular and pedestrian systems." "All entryways should: provide a sheltered transition to the inside; offer visual clues as to the desired pedestrian circulation; possess inviting features; address the street; relate, in both scale and design style, to the use of the Building." "All doorway and entryways must provide protection from sloughing snow or ice, be well lit without light pollution, and offer a spot for pedestrians and bicycle traffic to gather." "Avoiding the sea of asphalt feel is something that can provide interest to a project at the same time as benefiting the environment."

'wa X b f in AMA r Staff Response: Vehicular access to the property is provided by multiple sides of the entire project; with Whole Foods accessible on the west, east, and north sides of Parcel 1. The residential building will be accessible on the west, east and south side. There is no direct vehicular access between the Whole Foods parking lot and the residential parking structure. (see image left). Landscaping per DRB Guidelines: "Acceptable landscape design will, among other things-, retain and promote as much healthy native vegetation as practical, encourage creativity and personalized design of the landscaping, conserve water by creating landscapes where water -wise plants predominate, minimize the use of water -heavy plants and limit water -heavy plants to specific focal areas, limit total irrigation coverage using microclimate responsive design of irrigation systems and their conscientious operation, eradicate and prevent noxious weed infestations, minimize site grading, take into consideration the location and impact on the surrounding area, and respect and enhance the design of the streetscapes." "The minimum landscaped area required is equal to 20% of the gross site area less the footprint of all approved Buildings." "Any area outside the approved area of construction disturbance is deemed a natural area and is to remain in its natural state." "Maximum site coverage for all Buildings is 30% or as the DRB recommends. Maximum site coverage for all impervious materials is 50% or as the DRB recommends." "Surrounding the Buildings and along the public ways (and within ROW), landscape plantings, walks, public lighting, site furnishings, and signage shall create a year-round synergetic, coherent, and environmentally friendly and festive atmosphere." "Irrigation is required in all formal landscaped areas." (per PUD Guide) "All planted areas should not exceed a maximum slope of 2:1 with a minimum of two percent (2%). All grass areas should not exceed a slope of 4.1 with a minimum of two percent (2%)." (per PUD Guide) Staff Response: Staff has received only these renderings, with no landscaping plan or any calculations providing an indication Landscaping plans are required as part of the Building Permit; however, the PUD REF25002 - VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 9 of 13 guide shall govern what is being proposed. As the AMC is more up to date reflecting changes at the State level and general best practices for both water conservation and wildfire protections, Staff recommends the PZC reiterate that the DRB should consider implementing more sustainable landscaping practices whenever possible, as an outcome of this referral opportunity. Four-sided Design: The Design Guidelines does not contain any four-sided design suggestions. Staff Response: PZC has paid careful attention to Four -Sided Design in recent development applications but it is not part of these Design Guidelines. Staff recommends assessing the function and the appearance of the building from all sides, with an emphasis on the eastern street -facing elevation. See previous comments regarding Design Theme. Building Design, Building Materials and Colors per DRB Guidelines: "Articulation in Building planes should be of a magnitude and dimension that is consistent with the overall scale and massing of the Building, as well as the intent in design and appearance." Staff Response: Staff is comfortable that the building presents as varied, with interesting dimensions and spaces. Scale and Massing per DRB Guidelines: "All Buildings must face the street and take suitable measures to minimize its impact on all visible facades." "It is encouraged to use elements to break down the out of human scale and boxy architecture and create interest. Covered circulation, shading devices, canopies, Building entries can all be used to accomplish this. The Wal-Mart and The Home Depot canopy design are the standard for diffusing the standard box architecture." "Passive solar design as a component of the architectural design of individual Buildings is encouraged." Staff Response: The Whole Foods building is typical of this chain branding, with the exception in they may be trying to do a small portion of their front awning/overhang as a living roof. The building scale from the west side may warrant additional consideration, as it is a flat wall with a lack of identity and architectural consideration or articulation. As far as massing goes, the proposed residential structure is quite impressive being 4-6 stories p to 80 feet. This building, as a comparison, would be of similar height to the Sheraton on W Beaver Creek Blvd. _ i''"`` �""X`- '�' ; ,.Q��, .- = lam• �"� REF25002 - VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 10 of 13 Windows per DRB Guidelines: "Windows create interest in Building facades and communicate the type of Building and activities that are present. Windows may act as a lantern, establishing activity and vibrancy in the evening streetscape." Staff Response: Staff is satisfied with proposed window articulation for Whole Foods with the exception of the west side of this structure being window -less. Staff does not have any issues with the residential building and window placements and numbers. Roof Material, Pitch and Pedestrian Protection per DRB Guidelines: "Each Building should utilize green roof technologies while creating a unique expression of quality. It is strongly recommended that all primary roofs are to be "green roofs" or "grass roofs" simple inform and skyline. Roofs maybe exterior usable space or a site for photovoltaic or hydronic collectors." Staff Response: No information has been provided for what is being proposed above the entrance to Whole Foods, with the exception of the photo above. It would appear that there may be great potential to off -set the energy code that this project will be subject to by adding solar to what appears to be a "flat" roof. Per Building Code the design must include "solar -ready" areas for buildings. With lights, coolers, etc., commercial uses do generate significant energy needs. This would also be required for the residential building. It does not appear that they have incorporated any solar either, and this building and articulated roofline would be perfect for solar. Trash Storage per DRB Guidelines: "Service areas, such as loading bays, recycling areas, dumpsters, compactors, storage areas and large utility equipment (including ground mounted equipment such as power transformers and air handling equipment), must be enclosed, screened, or located such that they are not visible from the streets and adjacent land uses such as pedestrian access ways so that they do not negatively impact the Village by being in the public view." Staff Response: No information outside of an allocation inside the residential parking garage has been provided to Staff, and having a grocery store with active trash services is concerning. Further, Avon has composting available in our area, and waste diversion of both food waste and recycling is important to Avon. This concern has been shared with the PZC in this report on PAGE 3. Snow Removal per DRB Guidelines: "Snow piles are unsightly, are hazards to traffic that can block ingress and egress and view corridors, cause safety issues, cause potential fire hazards, and do not conform to the Design Philosophy." Staff Response: Snow is generally proposed to be removed from the site; however, typically, it needs to be stockpiled before removal. No information has been provided to Staff about this nuance. Exterior Lighting per DRB Guidelines: "Nighttime lighting on a site shall be designed to minimize glare, light trespass and light pollution and to conserve energy and maintain night-time safety." (per PUD Guide) Staff Response: The Town of Avon utilizes a Dark Sky Ordinance within Town Boundaries. As no lighting plan is included with this application, a complete lighting schedule, photometric plan, and light cut sheets need to be provided, to show that light trespass is contained according to the photometric plan, and light levels are low across the site. Staff recommends that the residential aspect especially, incorporate timers or smart -sensors that ensure areas are lit only when necessary. Additionally, interior lighting in common areas needs to be placed thoughtfully, as there are a number of residential complexes that will be affected REF25002 — VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 11 of 13 by these condos. Example: Corridor with lighting, terminating with a window at the end of the hallway. The window should be glazed and or tinted to prevent light escaping beyond the building footprint. The Town standards for recessed light sources and downcast lighting that eliminates light trespass need to be implemented throughout the project to prevent glare. A lighting plan shall be submitted to the Town in accordance with DRB Guidelines and Dark Sky Ordinance (see Title 15: Outdoor Lighting Standards)." Bicycle Facilities, Mobility and Connectivity per DRB Guidelines: "The Village will share common connectors of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. These links will be connections of similar design details, utilizing both natural and human -made design elements." "Properties must include continued paths, as they cross the landscaped property. This should include a continued theme of plantings that co -exist with existing landscapes along the walking paths. Also, to be included are benches and/or other rest areas for pedestrians, as necessary. Also to be considered are storage areas and equipment for bicycles and other alternative transportation." "The carefully planned transition between auto and pedestrian is an important element that encourages the use of convenient parking and inviting pedestrian paths." Staff Response: The applicants have ongoing coordination regarding road and transportation systems with the Town of Avon. The VAA will be incorporating bus pullouts and bus shelter as part of the development of PA -A. Development Transitions per DRB Guidelines: "The carefully planned transition between auto and pedestrian is an important element that encourages the use of convenient parking and inviting pedestrian paths." "The architecture at the Village should create visually pleasing, enjoyable Buildings and structures that create an architecturally vibrant Village. Buildings shall include quality design details and utilize elements of design that will add context and interest to achieve the Design Philosophy. The standard for architectural design shall be Traer Creek Plaza." "Each Building must be a unique expression that complements the Village by contributing to the fabric as one among many, not to stand alone. The designer is to establish a unique stylistic expression, while using complementary forms of material and color." Staff Response: The project provides a unique expression that complements the other Village developments in the area like the new Bosk Apartments currently under construction. Screening per DRB Guidelines: "All roof mounted machinery, vents, fans, etc. will be screened and hidden from sight. All loading and refuse areas, mechanical or utility equipment will be screened." Staff Response: All exterior and ground mounted mechanical, electrical, and communications equipment, meters, etc. shall be painted (as allowable) and screened from view with landscape elements or integrated in the architecture of the buildings." This area intentionally left blank REF25002 - VAA PLANNING AREA A PHASE 1 July 1, 2025 Page 12 of 13 SUMMARY: The proposed project is considered the first of several phases to follow for Planning Area A. Behind the scenes the applicants are working with the Town of Avon in coordination efforts for roads, public transit, utilities, and drainage. There will be several upcoming applications that will be processed through the Town that will not be coming to Planning Commission (e.g., subdivision plats), and building permits. Staff will be reviewing these plans and applications along the way to ensure that Avon concerns have been addressed. All PZC concerns and recommendations for this referral will be provided to the VAA DRB. Thank you, Jena ATTACHMENTS: A.

Pursuant to the PUD, the project has completed a review with the Design Review Board and has been referred to the Planning and Zoning commissions for comment only, not for approval, ratification, or disapproval. We look forward to reviewing the project and collecting the comments. Project Overview The mixed used development is located with Chapel Alley to the west, E Beaver Creek Blvd to the north, and Chapel Place to the south. Both E Beaver Creek Blvd and Chapel Place are a part of the comprehensive plan road configuration and are being adjusted and reconstructed (addressed in a subsequent section). Parcel 1 will be approximately 6 acres and will include both a residential and retail component. The project will be comprised of approximately 124 luxury condominium units, an anchor retailer at 26,000 sq. ft., two retail out lots totaling approximately 7,800 sq. ft., and a total of approximately 436 parking stalls. M` Kensington Residential The residential portion of the project, also known as Skjol Avon, will be located on the southern portion of parcel 1. Skjol will consist of approximately 124 for sale luxury condominiums. The 5 and 6-story building will include parking and amenity space on level 1 accessed off Chapel Place and a future access drive to the west. An amenity deck located on level 2 will provide a pool, hot tub, and additional residential amenities. Levels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 will contain the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom units. The building will be 4-stories tall at approximately 75 feet above finished grade on the westernmost side and will step up to a 6-story tall building at approximately 80 feet above finished grade. Based on the grade differential. across the site from north to south, the second level floor of the residential building will be at the same elevation as the surface parking for the retail portion of the project on the northern side of the building. Approximately 220 of the 436 total parking spaces will be located within the first level garage of the residential building. The included residential concept drawing package provides additional detail and visuals on the building layout, concept exterior fagade, and interaction with the retail portion of the project. It is important to note that while the project is early in design, these are conceptual plans and are subject to revisions and adjustments. Retail The retail portion of the project, located on the norther half of the parcel, will contain a 26,000 square foot specialty grocer, proposed Whole Foods to the west and two retail out lot buildings totaling approximately 7,800 square feet to the east. The approximately 216 surface parking spaces accessed by one access point to the east, two access points along E Beaver Creek Boulevard, and an additional entrance along the future private drive to the south and west. The proposed Whole Foods building will stand approximately 29 feet high with a secondary parapet at 33 feet and a high parapet at 40 feet. The included retail concept drawing package provides additional detail and visuals. Please note these are conceptual plans and are subject to revisions and adjustments. The out -lot buildings are conceptual only currently and no elevations are provided at this time. 0& Kensington Connection To Master Plan Parcel 1 will be the first phase of the overall masterplan and is being designed in conjunction with the updated roadway configuration of Chapel Place and East Beaver Creek Boulevard. The Parcel 1 perimeter lot lines are being coordinated with the required bus stops and right-of-way sections including bike lines and sidewalks. Schedule The projected project schedule is targeting a construction start date in the second quarter of 2026 and will include a phased delivery schedule with the proposed Whole Foods completion date in the third quarter of 2028 and the residential building completion in the fourth quarter of 2028. The schedule will be coordinated with the adjacent right of way construction and completion timing. We look forward to discussing the project in more detail and compiling and reviewing The Town of Avon's feedback.
