Project Type Planned Unit Development (PUD) for 45 units of multifamily
housing, Barrancas
Legal Description Lots 38, 40, & 41, Block 1, Benchmark at.Beaver Creek
Subdivision
Current Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) Affordable and Employee
Housing and Open Space
Address 491 Metcalf Road
Introduction
The applicant, Ray Nielsen, is proposing Barrancas; a 45-unit affordable and employee housing
project located on Lots 38, 40, and 41 of the previously titled "The Cove" PUD. The PUD
designation for these lots was originally approved by ordinance in 1981 through a transfer of
development rights from a residential density `pool' that were not assigned elsewhere in
Wildridge. The original configuration of this density transfer was for 12 units on Lot 38, 8 units
on Lot 40, and 15 units on Lot 41. The original concept for employee housing at this location
was reviewed on February 3, 1998 and a Concept Review subsequently reviewed on May 29,
1998.
The current proposal is for 18 units in 6 buildings on Lot 40, and 27 units in 9 buildings on Lot
41 for a total of 45 units. Each building proposed will contain three two-bedroom dwelling units
with the ground floor level containing a three-car garage. Lot 38 will not be developed and is
proposed as open space. There will be a portion of the parking for Lot 41 on the Metcalf Road
side of the Metcalf Drainage Ditch that connects to the development via a pedestrian bridge.
PUD Design Criteria
The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating a PUD. It shall
be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed
development plan comply with each of the following design criteria or demonstrate that one or
more of them is not applicable or that a particular development solution consistent with the
public interest has been achieved.
1. Conformance with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan's Goals and Objectives.
This project will provide affordable housing for the community which conforms to Policy
A1.3 of the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan encourages the use of PUDs where it will
provide a benefit to the community and is compatible with surrounding development. The
proposed affordable housing will also comply with Goal C 1 to provide diverse, quality
housing to serve all economic segments of the population. As of yet, there have been no deed
restrictions proposed.
Policy A1.6 and A3.7 both recommend that lands on particularly steep slopes remain
undeveloped as open space and so designated. Lot 38 will be undeveloped and be designated
as open space.

2. Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the Town, the sub-area
design recommendations and design guidelines of the Town.
The project is different from the residential design themes found throughout the Town of
Avon. The project is adjacent to the primary Industrial and Commercial zone district and
presents a very `industrial-like' appearance similar to other buildings in the immediate area.
The development is along the prominent entrance to the largest residential area in Avon
(Wildridge Subdivision).
The proposed design of the buildings includes garaged parking and adequate storage. There
will be two units accessible via elevator. The access to the units will be from exterior, open-
air stairwells. There are no proposed decks on the buildings.
3. Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent
properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones,
character and orientation.
The project is located on two lots with difficult access and building conditions due to the
steep slope. The significant setback distance from Metcalf Road will reduce the project's
mass and scale as perceived from the road. Additionally, the project is similar in scale, height
and architectural design to the immediately adjacent developments. Barrancas appears to
provide a transition between the industrial district of Metcalf Road and the residential areas
of Wildridge.
4. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity;
The original density transfer to these three properties. was for 35 units and this application
proposes 45 units, removing the original 12 units from Lot 38. The addition of 10 units does
not appear to affect the proposal negatively. This application appears to provide adequate
access, parking and avoidance of potential debris flow drainages. Lots 38, 40 and 41 are
difficult lots to develop. The proposed residential high-density use is an appropriate use for
these lots and should provide a buffer between the industrial areas to the south and residential
areas to the north.
5. Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards that
affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed.
The applicant has identified potential wildlife, wetland and drainage issues. This application
contains information on soil and potential geologic hazards and constraints that may be
present in the area. The design proposed has adequately identified those areas. Certain
wetlands will need to be disturbed in order to create an adequate driveway aisle on Lot 41.
The applicant must obtain an Army Corps of Engineers approval prior to issuance of a
building permit.
Issues presented in the subsoil and geologic hazards report must be addressed in the final
design application. Grading on the furthest north building on Lot 41 must be revised to avoid
drainage flowing toward the foundation.
In addition, the water pressure and anticipated flows will be required at building permit.

6. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
The linear shape of the lot and the severe steep slope that exists on the site largely dictate the
location of the buildings on each lot. The project will require retaining walls both above the
proposed buildings and below the parking areas. There will also be retaining walls used to
redirect possible debris flows from above the development. All retaining walls over 4'0" in
height must be designed by an engineer.
7. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and
off site traffic circulation that is compatible with the Town Transportation Plan.
Vehicle circulation in this application meets Towns standards with regard to driveways,
turnarounds and parking spaces. There is inadequate turnaround for fire vehicles which may
necessitate that the project have fire sprinklers.
Pedestrian circulation can occur along the access drive, however, because of the isolated
nature of the site and the lack of sidewalks, it will be difficult for pedestrians to circulate off-
site. The new pedestrian and bike path being constructed along Nottingham Road will
provide a definitive means of access to Town. Pedestrian flow along Metcalf is virtually
non-existent and incompatible at this time with traffic.
The proposal does not address mass transit transportation as a means to efficiently circulate
residents to other areas within the Town. A bus stop should be incorporated into the
development for future connection to the mass transit system.
8. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
The landscaping proposed should serve as functional and aesthetic for the project; however,
the exact placement and design can be further refined at final design. Without further soils
information, it is difficult to discern whether or not irrigation can be accomplished at this site
in order to fully establish the proposed plantings. Lot 38 will remain undeveloped and be
dedicated as open space.
9. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. The phasing plan shall
clearly demonstrate that each phase can be workable, functional and efficient without
relying upon completion of future project phases.
The project is proposed in one phase. No phasing plan accompanies the application.
10. Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems,
roads, parks and police and fire protection.
There are adequate public services. The water pressure and anticipated flow must be verified
at building permit.
11. That the existing streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated
traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD.
Metcalf Road and other streets and roads in the vicinity are adequate to carry the anticipated
traffic for the Barrancas project.

Staff Comments
The natural constraints of these lots make them difficult to develop and affordable housing is an
appropriate use. Approval of this PUD should be for the proposed Barrancas development only.
Any amendments must comply with Section 17.20.110 of the Avon Municipal Code.
The additional 10 dwelling units on these three lots does not appear to be a significant issue
considering the amount of site disturbance and infrastructure already necessary to support the
residential development on these lots. Staff recommends approval of the PUD application.
