MEMO
TO: Bill James, Town Manager
FROM: Norm Wood, Director of Engineering and Community Development
DATE: October 9, 1986
RE: Resolution 86-18
Special Review Use - Automotive Repair (Body and Frame Shop)
Lot 11, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Lot 11, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek is an undeveloped lot located on the
west side of Metcalf Road approximately one-half mile north of the Nottingham
Road intersection. The requested special review use is to allow the operation
of an automobile body repair and frame shop on this property.
Plans for construction of a building to house the proposed operation have been
submitted by the applicant and were given design review approval by the Planning
and Zoning Commission. The proposed site development plans utilize the natural
features of the site to screen activities associated with the Special Review Use
and to minimize impacts to surrounding properties. The plans show a low profile
building set into the hillside at the northwesterly corner of the lot. The
parking lot is screened by a landscaped earthen berm with the top approximately
10 to 12 feet above Metcalf Road. A small automobile storage yard (4 to 6 spaces)
will be screened by a wooden fence as well as the building and earthen berm.
In the approval process, the Commission stated that they felt this area was
appropriate for the proposed use, as an automobile shop was previously approved
and is currently located on Lot 13. They further felt the approved design
sufficiently mitigated any negative impacts which may result from the proposed
use.
No negative comments were received during the public hearing process.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution 86-18.

of the zoning code and the applicable zoning district; and
3. Whether the proposed use is designed to be compatible with surrounding
land uses and uses in the area.

Public Hearing
Page 2 of 3
Staff Comments with regard to the preceeding determinations are:
1. The proposed special review use complies with requirements imposed by
the zoning code;
2. The proposed use is consistent with the objectives and purposes of the
zoning code and IC zone district; and
3. The design review process for building design and site development can be
used to assure the proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses
and uses in the area. An automobile repair shop currently exists on Lot 13
which is in the same general area as the requested special review use;
A. The proposed use does not increase access requirements beyond those for
allowed uses within the zone district;
B. The proposed use is located on property served by-Avon Metro District
which provides both water service and fire protection services. Access
and special fire protection measures, if required, can be dealt with
through the design review and building permit process;
C. The proposed use does not increase domestic water supply demands beyond
those required for allowed uses within the zone district;
D. The design review process should assure that minimum off-street parking
requirements are met;
E. The impact of the development and proposed use should be thoroughly
addressed in the design review process. The proposed development is
specifically designed for the proposed use.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the requested special review use for automotive
repair (body and frame shop) on Lot 11, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek if
the Commission concurs with the above Staff comments. If the special review
use is approved, it should be contingent upon design review approval of
building and site development plans specifically designed for the proposed use
in order to mitigate impacts to surrounding properties.
Staff recommends that action on this application be taken in the form of adopting
Resolution No. 86-4. The resolution can easily be modified for any action the
Commission would take. The Resolution will then be forwarded to the Town Council
for final action. ,
