TO: Planning and Zoning Commission A FROM: Patti Liermann, Housing Planner Avon RE: Slopeside Conceptual Design Review DATE: August 5, 2025 C o 1 o H A [� SUMMARY: This report presents revised conceptual designs to Avon Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") and members of Town Council ("Council") who may be in attendance for this meeting. This is the second round of preliminary conceptual designs by Ulysses Development Group ("Ulysses") and their team. PZC reviewed two conceptual designs at its regular meeting on June 23, 2025 and provided comments and direction for further revision, including. - Maintain adequate parking for the number of units • Extend the drive and site further to the east • Reduce the height and mass of buildings PZC is requested to provide direction on the mass, scale and layout so that Ulysses can finalize a conceptual design for PZC and Council review. Ulysses is depicting roof forms with more variation compared to the last presentation; however, the focus of this review is on mass, scale and layout and not architectural design elements. Once a conceptual design is approved that defines the mass, scale, layout, and density, then Avon and Ulysses will contract for developer services which will include construction drawings that will be subject to PZC and Council review for site planning and architectural design. (970) 748-4091 pliermann@avon.org BACKGROUND: The Property is part of the original Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision (Benchmark at Beaver Creek Tract Y). The Property was previously zoned for Open Space, Landscaping, Drainage ("OLD"). Council took action in 2024 to rezone the Property to Community Housing High Density-1 ("CHHD-1"). The smaller Parcel 2, to the east was rezoned for "public use" and is part of the 1997 Swift Gulch Addition subdivision creating the public works/transit/fleet campus. Parcel 2 is described as Lot 2: Swift Gulch Addition. Both parcels are owned by the Town of Avon. Parcel 1 is approximately 3.41 acres. The Property also contains a portion of the pedestrian/bike trail that runs between Avon Road and Post Blvd, and the existing Nottingham Puder Ditch. The Community Housing project, currently known as "Slopeside", will primarily be located within Parcel 1 and may have some overflow, signage, or other limited uses on Parcel 2. The Zoning on this parcel is as follows: Community Housing High Density —1. The CHHD-1 district is established to accommodate multi- family development in cost effective configuration, construction type, and density that permits a high number of residential units with a maximum of four (4) stories of residential or three (3) stories of residential above one (1) level of at grade parking.

PZC and Council held another joint meeting on June 23, 2025 to review two initial conceptual designs as Step 2. The two conceptual designs depicted four and five story buildings with 83 units and 111 units. PZC and Council provided comments and direction at this meeting, which included the following details: • Maintain adequate parking for the number of units (do not under park) • Extend the drive and site further to the east to allow more parking and more buildings with less height • Reduce the height and mass of buildings to three and four stories with three stories on the far east side CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PHASE: The Conceptual Design agreement outlines a process with four steps, which are listed below. We are on Step 3 at this meeting. 1. Introductory joint work session with Avon PZC and Council to review project goals, discuss site challenges and opportunities, and discuss optimizing density balanced with appearance of entry to Town. 2. Initial presentation of at least 2 conceptual designs to Avon PZC and Council. Avon PZC and Council will provide direction and comment on conceptual designs. Slopeside — Conceptual Design Review August 11, 2025 Page 2 of 3 3. Prepare revised and preferred conceptual design for presentation to Avon PZC and Council. Avon PZC and Council will provide direction and comment to finalize the preferred conceptual design. 4. Present the revised conceptual design to Avon PZC and Council. COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT STEPS: The development of Community Housing involves several steps, which are described as follows: 1. Identification of land suitable for a Community Housing Project. COMPLETE 2. Zoning (or Rezoning) COMPLETE 3. Determination of Ownership and Initial Partners (i.e. public or private). PENDING 4. Determining whether to proceed as public development project or post Request for Proposal for private developers. COMPLETE 5. Apply for Grant Funding for design, infrastructure and/or construction. ON GOING 6. Conceptual Design of housing project to determine density, layout, and feasibility. 7. Determination of specific housing type and goals (rent versus own, unit size, target AM levels) 8. Establishing development team (architect, owners representative, contract — if a public project, or selecting developer if private project). 9. Securing financing and finalizing development agreements and deed restrictions. 10. Overseeing or administering construction of project. 11. Construction completion and sale or leasing per Avon Community Housing Policies or per terms with private developer. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AS PRESENTED: The revised conceptual design (massing and density designs) includes 24, 2-bedroom units, 54, 1-bedroom units, and 28 studio units. The revised design allows for 106 units in total and accommodates 144 parking spaces, which is 1 parking space per bedroom plus 14 guest spaces. The drawings also illustrate potential locations for snow storage, trash, storage, and common areas. TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: This revised conceptual design reduces building height and massing and appears to present a more compatible scale of development for the primary entry to the Town of Avon. The additional buildings with less height and individual variation creates a more "village" aesthetic and less of a large apartment building complex look, which I think is a strong improvement. The access drive on the north side is at the 3rd and 4th level. Adding an additional 4th or 5th floor is cost effective because the foundation work is the same and the additional floor will not trigger the requirement of an elevator. The lower height, additional buildings, and individual variation of buildings and building segments will increase the cost of construction. I point this out for awareness and I expected there would be a cost premium for designing at a compatible scale and with quality architectural design on this gateway site. REQUESTED DIRECTION: Your direction at this stage of the process will move the project into the next phase. Please review the attached conceptual design materials and arrive at the meeting prepared to share your ideas. This meeting will be used to review the density and massing of the development, layout of building locations, and parking options.

Lake Street Crossi -yam � IV11 --'1* Civic Plaza Area The purpose of this work session is for PZC to review the design options and strategies for the Civic Plaza and Lake Street Cross and provide direction to Staff and DHM Designs. An La Zona Approvals and Subarea Design gnConcept Design Phase Construction BACKGROUND: Avon's revisioning of the Mall, extending from Possibilities Plaza to Nottingham Park, kicked off following the completion of the La Zona Concept Plan in 2023. In 2025, Avon Town Council ("Council"), PZC, the Downtown Development Authority ("DDA"), Health & Rec Committee, and Cultural Arts and Special Events Committee ("CASE"), reviewed and approved a new path layout and specific concepts for the project, including a Civic Plaza at Town Hall and a relocated Lake Street Crossing with new, additional features. This report includes links to previous staff reports for mall updates in January 2025 and March 2025 here and here respectively (March 2025 update begins on document page 225). C%1LI44i1612Y11:40AVl1WITA Civic Plaza: A "Civic Plaza" is proposed at the south entrance of Town Hall, in and around the current location of the Skier Statue. This area currently provides a connection from the Town Hall parking lot and main entrance on the west side of the building, to the Pedestrian Mall. The south entrance to the Town Hall from this plaza goes directly into Council Chambers. 970.748.4014 mmorgan@avon.org Image 2 — South Town Hall Entrance Proposed for Civic Plaza with Statue Proposed for Relocation The proposed update includes a relocation of the Skier Statue and reconstructing a larger plaza area that utilizes the same design patterns and materials as the rest of the Mall. The concepts differ in Pedestrian Mall Improvements — Work Session August 5, 2025 Page 2 of 9 their inclusion and location of seating elements (picnic tables, statue, portable chairs, stone seat wall), lighting / lamp poles, landscaping (permanent or removable planters, shrubs and flowers, additional trees to screen parking areas), and space for special event tents and other elements intended to activate the Civic Plaza (ATT A — Concepts for Review) TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: I have worked closely with Danita on size and configuration of the Civic Plaza. Danita and I recommend Concept 5 (with the skier statue located as shown in either Concepts 5.1 or 5.2). The Civic Plaza is roughly in the center of the Mall and is part of the Town Hall, so this should be a larger usable area for hierarchy in design. Functionally, Danita and I believe this space can be used for public events, private rental of Council chambers w/ plaza, and day to day passive activation. We believe a "blank" plaza that is furnished with planters, picnic tables, benches, etc., is much more functional so that we can move and rearrange the patio area as appropriate for different uses. Concept 5.2 illustrates a special event tent layout that an accommodate 14 event tents. Private rental, particularly on the week -ends, has a lot of community value because there are not many convenient indoor/outdoor spaces with a kitchen and restrooms. We are mindful of the importance of shade for large patio area, which can be provided by shade structures or trees. This design consideration will require more attention to propose some amount of shade for the Civic Plaza without infringing on the flexibility to rearrange the patio furnishing layout for different uses. REQUESTED DIRECTION FROM PZC: Civic plazas vary from community to community but often reflect the values and interests of the community, as well as the form and function of the buildings and spaces they help connect (ATT B — Examples of Civic Plazas and Spaces). PZC is requested to provide comments and input on the different concepts for the Civic Plaza so that our designers can proceed to construction drawings. PZC should determine if there are other elements that warrant additional discussion or information. [remainder of page is intentionally blank] Pedestrian Mall Improvements — Work Session August 5, 2025 Page 3 of 9 Lake Street Crossing: The design shows the existing Lake Street Crossing moved to a new location as the preferred route for the Mall and connection to the Park. The approved Mall layout presents a new path that hugs the north edge of the Library, crosses Lake Street further to the south than the existing crossing, and connects to the south trail at the southeast corner of the main field and near the new bathrooms (currently under construction). The design intent and goal is that the Lake Street Crossing would establish a defined "gateway" into Harry A. Nottingham Park.

The crossing itself will be raised with treatment and parallel white striping utilizing the same design as the Lettuce Shed crossing on Benchmark Road. The four corners of the Lake Street Crossing are proposed to incorporate the same design element to establish this crossing as the gateway into the Park. The design elements on these four corners may include Avon's four post custom street lights, stone pedestals with art work, standing stones, lighting, signage, or combination of elements, or other design elements used in the vicinity. (see ATT C — Existing Elements at Lake Street). The Lake Street Crossing concepts include reconfiguring on -street parking on the east side of Lake Street and reconstructing the parking on the west side of the Avon Recreation Center. This will require the removal and relocation of two of the three electric vehicle ("EV") chargers on Lake Street Pedestrian Mall Improvements — Work Session August 5, 2025 Page 4 of 9 (two ports per charger). The concepts also show updated off-street parking north of the Library, with a connecting path from the lot to the mall, and staff entrance for the Library. Staff confirmed with the library staff that this area also houses their trash and recycling dumpster. One concept shows bench seating along this section of the mall, and all concepts show a landscape buffer between the parking lot area and the Mall path. The west side of the crossing connects to an 11' wide sidewalk that will connect to the crossing area as well. The triangular gravel pad immediately to the northwest is proposed for redesign and may include elements like flagpoles or sculptures. The elements that frame the four corners of the crossing and the triangular area, can be a point of discussion for this work session. TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: Staff and PZC have recognized the importance of a strong "gateway" element into Harry A. Nottingham Park. A presentation was provided in January on different design elements that can signify an entry into a park. A traditional arch gateway seemed awkward for the entrance to the Park due to the limited area on the west side of Lake Street and the desire to not impact views. The concept of using the four corners of the Lake Street Crossing was introduced that would create a strong gateway element without an arch and would also emphasize the pedestrian crossing priority at this location. I suggest that appropriate design elements for the four corners would include: 1. Design can/should be a continuation of design themes elsewhere (standing stones, bronze art works, custom umbrella street lights) 2. Design should reflect Avon's community values (outdoors, wildlife, nature, recreation, community, events) 3. Design should incorporate signage (Monument sign? Signage on pedestals? Lit or unlit?) 4. Design can be function (pedestals can incorporate seating walls and be integrated into the plaza rather than separate landscaping details) Specific ideas include the following: Wildlife Bronzes: Pedestals with seating walls and wildlife bronzes, Wolf (or coyote), Trout, Mountain Lion and Eagle (these are four animals we don't have that I believe can be sized appropriately for pedestals with close contact and picture taking opportunities). Danita pointed out that a wolf might be politically controversial — still, kids would find a wolf statue pretty cool. I really like elk and moose, but life size might be too big and overbearing at this location. Avon is well known for its wildlife bronzes in the Avon Road round-abouts and this option would continue that theme. Custom Umbrella Lamp Posts: Reuse or custom order 4 of the existing four post custom umbrella lamp posts we already have to be placed on pedestals large enough to provide an informal seating wall square. This would illuminate and emphasize the area with a tall elements that already exist in our streetscape design. This might be somewhat boring and safe, but would be very effective at delineating this gateway crossing. We also use these lamp posts for banners and would have the ability to stretch banners or lights across the lamp posts for special events. Pedestrian Mall Improvements — Work Session August 5, 2025 Page 5 of 9 Standing Stones: We have standing stones at the corner of Lake Street and West Beaver Creek Boulevard. If we use this design we should consider more limited placement of standing stones in other locations on Lake Street for design pattern, and possibly in some of the landscaping along the pedestrian path leading to the Lake Street crossing. Other Ideas?: Other ideas are welcome. I would encourage some connection to Avon and our community values in the selection of design elements. Examples of Arch Gateways into Parks REQUESTED DIRECTION FROM PZC: PZC is requested to provide comments and suggestions on the design approach and design elements for the Lake Street Crossing with particular attention to creating a strong "gateway" element.

Based on comments and direction from PZC, our designers will proceed to prepare construction drawings that can go out to bid. We are generally striving for completion of construction drawings to go out to bid by November to support a potential construction start in spring of 2026. PZC may desire additional design work to explore more options and/or additional time to discuss design elements. If additional design work to explore more options is desired then this may affect the completion of construction drawings and bidding the project for construction next summer. Final designs for the Mall will come back to PZC for review and comment and will be reviewed and finalized by Avon Town Council. Thank you, Max ATTACHMENTS: A.

I am writing to convey the Town of Avon Planning and Zoning Commission's insights and comments regarding the proposed Phase 1 Mixed -Use Development in the Village (at Avon) Planning Area A - Parcel 1. The Town of Avon Planning Staff referred the project plans and designs from Kensington (both the residential and commercial retail packets) to the Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") under file #REFR25002 for our meeting on July 7, 2025. The primary objective of this hearing was to present the project and gather valuable recommendations and suggestions for the Village (at Avon) Design Review Board ("DRB") to consider during your review process and the ongoing development of this area. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share our observations with you and hope they will be beneficial in your deliberations Below, you will find the comments and recommendations (next page) from the Commission to the DRB. General PZC Comments: • Overall, the PZC felt that the architecture and general design/style of both buildings was good and fit in well • DRB should be mindful that the north facing residential is going to be significant as far as massing is considered as seen from 1-70; however, the parking and amenity area is a great addition on the south side • Because of the larger surface parking, (temporary) snow storage has to be considered, as should drainage and stormwater controls (emphasis placed on use of drainage swales wherever practicable) • PZC also wanted to emphasize considerations for bike parking locations near store exits, composting (this is something City Market is currently doing), and additional architectural treatment of the west side of the Whole Foods as it is visible and could be improved This area left intentionally blank Post Office Box 975 1 100 Mikaela Way I Avon, CO 81620-0975 1 970-748-4023 1 www.Avon.org Recommendations: Commercial/Retail Plan: 1. The proposed building does not include adequate architectural investment in the western side. Architectural features and treatments shall not solely be focused on the front fagade, as the Whole Foods will be seen from every direction; 2. 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; 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.
