Purpose and Intent Design Philosophy The general design philosophy for the Town of Avon is to preserve and protect property values by creating an aesthetic quality throughout the built environment of our community. The Town should continue to be perceived as a contemporary mountain town, complementary to the natural landscape and unbuilt environs. The Town should appear as a cohesive unit comprised of simple building forms, subdued colors, and predominantly pitched roofs. In residential areas, the relationship between buildings and the natural environment should be harmonized rather than dominating. Landscaping should blend the surrounding natural environment and the home, not hide one from the other. Form; scale, proportion, and materials should support the natural- environs and - reinforce those characteristics that uniquely identify a neighborhood's built environ as it relates to the Town. v Typical Wildridge Vista : From Wildridge Road East Looking South towards Beaver Creek 2. Authorit The authority to enact `Design Review Guidelines' is granted by Chapter 2.16 of The Avon Municipal Code, which specifically states: C. The objectives of the design-review function of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be as follows: a. To 'prevent excessive or unsightly grading of property which could cause disruption of natural watercourses or scar natural landforms; b. To ensure that the location and configuration of structures, including signs and signage, are visually harmonious with their sites and with surrounding sites and structure and that there shall be conformance to the master plan of the town; c. To ensure that the architectural design of structures and their materials and colors are visually harmonious with the town's overall appearance, with surrounding development, with natural and existing landforms, and with officially approved development plans, if any, for the areas in which the structures are proposed to be located; d. To ensure that plans for the landscaping of property and open spaces conform with the rules and regulations as prescribed by the Town and by this chapter and to provide visually pleasing settings for structures on the same site and on adjoining and nearby sites (Ord. 83-11). Purpose and Intent To establish procedures, rules, and regulations by which the Commission shall receive, review, and rule on applications for the design of any proposed alterations to real property, including land and any improvements on that land, within the Town of Avon.

Residential Buildina Desian General DesiEn Character In addition to the stated Design Philosophy, and General Design Compatibility, a residential building must conform to setback, building area ratios, and height limitations of the applicable zone district. Buildings should be oriented to take advantage of solar gain and view corridors, where possible. Additionally, building design and location should generally minimize impacts on solar and view corridors of neighboring properties. It is preferred that residential buildings be designed as a composition of mass elements rather than larger single `blocks' that appear unrelated in form and context.

No Building Height The height of structures, unless otherwise specified in a planned unit development, shall conform to the zone district limitations stated in Title 17: Zoning Regulations. The definition of height is set forth in the `Definitions' section of these guidelines. No exceptions to the height requirements shall be made, except for penetrations that add architectural variety such as flues, chimneys, cupolas, etc. Penetrations to the height limitations must be in scale with the structure and surrounding property. (DELETE PICTURE) Building Height will be determined by utilizing the site development plan and elevations. All ridge elevations, and numeric existing and proposed grades must be labeled on the site plan to accurately determine height. Additionally, the elevation plans must show existing and proposed grades (also labeled in numeric form), such as the illustration above. Building Materials and Colors The intent of these guidelines is to provide architectural control to ensure that the architectural design of structures and their materials and colors are visually harmonious with the town's overall appearance, with surrounding development, with natural and existing landforms, and with officially approved development plans. These guidelines should represent the minimum standard to achieve this goal, without being so cumbersome as to not allow varied high-quality design that meets this intent. Requirements: 1. The use of high quality, durable building materials is highly encouraged. 2. The following materials and wall finishes will not ordinarily be permitted on the exterior of any structure: asphalt siding, imitation brick, asbestos cement shingles or siding, imitation log siding or plastic. Metal siding, concrete or concrete block will be permitted only with specific approval of the Commission. Each building must use a minimum of two materials. la 6. Application and Processing Submittal and Review Process The Design Review process is broken down into three disfinet tiers. Pre appliestion A4eeting, two stages: Sketch Plan Review and Final Design Review. Community Development shall review all material submitted for either of the twee design review tiers to determine whether an applicant has met the minimum submittal requirements prior to the scheduling of a meeting or public hearing. A pre-application meeting is strongly encouraged prior making application. Minimum submittal requirements are attached as a `checklist' for each required application, and should be reviewed carefully. For Sketch-and Final Design Review, if the application and_ supporting material is_ found to be inadequate, the Community Development Department shall not schedule the application for consideration by the Commission but shall notify the applicant of any inadequacies.

The Commission will take no formal action. Rather, direction on the design will be given to the applicant from staff and the Commission to incorporate in the final design application. Final Design Plan Approval Criteria The Commission shall evaluate the design of all final design plans utilizing the specific Design Standards, and by using the following general criteria: A. That the final design plan is in compliance with all sketch plan approval criteria and with all final design plan submittal requirements. B. The compatibility of proposed improvements with site topography, to minimize site disturbance, orient with slope, step building with slope, and minimize benching or other significant alteration of existing topography. C. The appearance of proposed improvements as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways, with respect to 1©P architectural style, massing, height, orientation to street, quality of materials, and colors. D. The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that monetary or aesthetic values will be impaired. E. The general conformance of the proposed improvements with the adopted Goals, Policies and Programs for the Town of Avon. Final Design Plan approval shall be valid for a period of two (2) years from the date of approval, with an one-time extension permitted for up to one year at the applicant's request. Basis for approval or denial of project design ` If the design of any project is found to comply with the purposes prescribed in these Guidelines, Regulations, and any applicable Ordinances of the Town of Avon, and the design guidelines review criteria prescribed in Section 7 of these Regulations, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall approve the project. If the Commission determines that a conflict exists with the purposes Design Guidelines, or any other provision of these Regulations, or any Ordinance of the Town of Avon which would prevent approval of such project, the Commission shall ' disapprove the project. If the Commission determines that conflicts exist which are subject to correction, the Commission may conditionally approve or request changes to conform with the Design Guidelines or other provisions of those regulations. Any disapproval, conditional approval or request for changes shall be in writing and shall specifically describe the purpose, statement, or design guidelines with which the design of the project does not comply and the manner of noncompliance. Notification of an application decision shall be made by the recording secretary and transmitted in writing to the applicant within 7 days of said meeting.
