TO: Chairperson Tony Emrick and DDA Board Members FROM: Paul Redmond, Chief Financial Officer
RE: Public Hearing on 2026 Proposed Budget for
Downtown Development Authority
DATE: October 29, 2025
SUMMARY: This report presents the 2025 Budget for the Avon Downtown Development Authority (“Avon DDA”)
to the Board of Directors for review and adoption. Adoption occurs by approval of the attached budget resolution
25-02. A public hearing is required with this agenda item.
BACKGROUND: The Avon DDA is considered a separate legal entity from the Town authorized by Colorado State
Statutes 31-25-801. The Avon DDA is required to adopt a budget each fiscal year (C.R.S. §31-25-816). In
addition, the Local Government Budget Law of Colorado requires every local government to adopt a budget each
year.
2026 BUDGET: The proposed 2026 Budget Fund Summary is attached as an exhibit to this memorandum. Note
the summary is also included for informational purposes in the Town of Avon’s budget summary as a component of
the Town.
The Avon DDA collects TIF (tax increment financing) revenue from the increase valuation in the Avon DDA’s plan
area. The proposed 2026 revenues of $510,192 are based off the assessed valuations for the increment of
$9,391,063. This is an increase of $4,441,083 over the prior year’s valuation. This is largely due to the completion
of the Spring Hill Suites.
The Avon DDA is required to dedicate at least 50% of the revenues to community housing. In 2026, the Avon DDA
will dedicate $200,000 for the construction of the Early Childhood Center. The budget also sets aside $75,000 for
the planning and design of Planning Area B. Planning Area B is a 4-acre parcel in the Village at Avon which is
planned to be a park area with a water feature and potential recreational and cultural amenities.
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: The budgeted amounts are very general place holders. The potential to
pursue a Community Housing project on the west side of Planning Area E and the adjacent Lot 8 is
dependent upon finalizing an amendment to the Village (at Avon) Planned Unit Development, which requires
concurrence and approval of Traer Creek, LLC. Any planning and design work on Planning Area B will need
to coordinate with planning and design of development on Planning Area A. The Development Agreement
and Village (at Avon) Planned Unit Development guide contemplate that the actual location and configuration
of Planning Area B is likely to change to coordinate with and support the adjacent private development.
Additional steps must occur before Avon commences planning and design work for either Community
Housing or Planning Area B.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend the Board adopt the Resolution as presented.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution 25-02 as listed on the Avon DDA’s meeting agenda of
November 3, 2025, adopting the proposed 2025 Budget for the Avon Downtown Development Authority.”

RE: Planning Area A Financial Projections
DATE: October 28, 2025
SUMMARY: The financial projections and development metrics for Planning Area A over the next five
years outline assessed valuations, tax revenues, and fee structures for retail spaces, restaurant pads, and
condominium phases. Key components include property tax calculations based on mill levy and
assessment ratios (6.8% for residential, 25% for commercial), annual TIF contributions to the Avon
Downtown Development Authority and cumulative tax revenues. It also specifies retail and accommodation
sales fees, real estate transfer taxes and water/permit fees. Development phases feature major retail
spaces (e.g., Whole Foods), multiple restaurant pads and condo/hotel units; projected buildout values
exceed $281M. The model emphasizes incremental and cumulative impacts on local tax revenues, sales
tax collections and infrastructure fees, illustrating the long-term economic contribution of Planning Area A to
Avon’s growth. This report is informational only.
Thank you, Paul
