TO: Planning and Zoning Commission A
FROM: Patti Liermann, Housing Planner Avon
RE: Slopeside Housing Conceptual Review
DATE: September 9, 2025 C o L o R A D 0
SUMMARY: This report presents the final conceptual design to Avon Planning and Zoning Commission
("PZC"). This report will be presented to Town Council ("Council") on September 23, 2025. This is the final
conceptual design by Ulysses Development Group ("Ulysses") and their team. PZC reviewed initial preliminary
designs on June 23, 2025. Comments were provided to Ulysses who returned with a second set of designs on
August 11, 2025. Comments and direction for the final conceptual design were:
• Add density and increase the unit count to the western -middle building, conditional upon maintaining the
parking ratio. If the parking ratio cannot be maintained with higher density at the building specified, the
conceptual design as presented is satisfactory.
PZC is requested to accept final conceptual design or provide rationale for not accepting the final conceptual
design. Council will review the same plans and determine next steps, which includes analysis of funding options.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AS PRESENTED: Ulysses and their team determined the density at the western -
middle building could not be increased without reducing the parking ratio. The final conceptual plan being
presented is for 106 units, comprised of 24, 2-bedroom units, 54, 1-bedroom units, and 28 studio units. The
final design accommodates 144 parking spaces, which is 1 parking space per bedroom plus 14 guest
spaces. The drawings also illustrate potential locations for snow storage, waste/recycling, unit storage, and
common areas.
(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 extend, with limited uses, onto Parcel 2. The Zoning on this parcel is
Community Housing High Density —1.
PZC and Council held a joint meeting on May 12, 2025 as Step 1 of the conceptual design process to discuss the
unique physical characteristics of the site and to provide direction on design goals. PZC and Council held a
second 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 determined their goal
is to maximize density while providing parking at 1 space per bedroom plus gu third meeting on
August 11, 2025 reviewed revised conceptual drawings that spread the project Parcel 2 Parcel 2, also
owned by the Town. This accomplished a higher unit count of 106 units with a equa e par ing ratios, and
reduced the building bulk and massing. The PZC members discussed whether the western -middle building could
increase in height and density. The PZC members concluded that increasing the density of that building is
conditional upon the parking ratio being maintained at 1 per bedroom, plus guest parking.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PHASE: The Conceptual Design agreement outlines a process with four steps, which
are listed below. We are on Step 4 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.
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 AMI levels)
