PZC Packet 042414April 24, 2014 PZC Meeting – Wyndham LRV AEC 1 Staff Report ‐ Alternative Equivalent Compliance & Color/Materials for Major Development Plan April 24, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Report date April 21, 2014 Project type Alternative Equivalent Compliance (AEC) Zoning Town Center (TC) Address 75 Benchmark Road Prepared By Matt Pielsticker, Planning Manager Introduction The Applicant, Dominic Mauriello of Mauriello Planning Group, representing the owner of the property, 75 Benchmark LLC, has submitted an Alternative Equivalent Compliance (AEC) application (“the Application”) for Lot 61, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision (BMBC). The Application proposes a color that exceeds the Town’s maximum Light Reflective Value (LRV) of sixty with a proposed 79.42 LRV sample called “Navajo White”. Attached to this report are the application materials, which include photographs of the color/material on‐site mockup. Background The Rezoning, Major Development Plan, and Alternative Equivalent Compliance applications (collectively “the Application”) for the Wyndham Timeshare resort project were approved by the Town Council on February 26, 2013. The Application was approved by Ordinance 13‐03; the Ordinance contained the following condition regarding the final approval of materials and colors for the project: “The applicant will provide a mock‐up of exterior materials which shall be reviewed by Avon PZC with the right to appeal to the Town Council in accordance with the Avon Municipal Code Procedures”. The on‐site mockup was reviewed at the April 1, 2014 meeting. PZC continued the review of the mock‐ up due to the conflict with LRV standards in the Development Code in order for the applicant to submit an AEC application. Design Standards For quick reference, the Generally Applicable and the Mixed‐Use and Non‐Residential design standards related to building materials and colors from the Development Code are provided herein. The PZC should consider these standards when reviewing the mock‐up. Generally Applicable Standards (3) Building Materials and Colors (i) The use of high quality, durable building materials is required. Exterior walls shall be finished with materials used in a manner sympathetic to the scale and architectural style of the building. (ii) Preferred materials reflect the Town’s sub alpine character such as native stone, wood siding, masonry or timbers. (iii) The following building materials and wall finishes are not permitted on the exterior of any structure: (A) asphalt siding, April 24, 2014 PZC Meeting – Wyndham LRV AEC 2 (B) imitation brick, (C) asbestos cement shingles or siding, (D) imitation log siding, or (E) plastic or vinyl siding. (iv) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider newly developed materials in light of subsections (i)‐(iii), above, and make a determination about appropriateness. (v) Indigenous natural or earth tones such as brown, tan, grey, green, blue, or red in muted, flat colors with an LRV (Light Reflective Value) of sixty (60) or less are required. (vi) The following colors are prohibited: neon, day‐glow, fluorescent, reflective, and non‐ earth tones. (vii) All flues, flashing, and other reflective materials shall be painted to match and/or appropriately contrast with adjacent materials. Mixed Use and Non‐Residential Standards (i) Building Materials. The means and methods of construction of new buildings should contribute to their durability, usefulness, and compatibility. In addition to the general requirements of §7.28.090(c)(3), the following regulations shall apply to exterior walls on mixed‐use and non‐residential structures. (A) Durability of Materials. Materials should be used that have a long life and age well. Materials at the ground floor should be composed and detailed in a manner that enriches the pedestrian experience. Authentic materials are encouraged. Faux or fake materials are prohibited. New materials, such as architectural composite panels, should not imitate other materials, but should reflect their own identity. (B) Masonry and stone veneer. Masonry and stone veneer walls should be detailed as masonry bearing walls, especially at corners and windows and door openings. (C) Synthetic materials. The use of synthetic materials is discouraged unless they can be shown to display the ability to age in a manner similar to or superior to the natural materials they replace. (D) Trim and molding. Building walls should be trimmed in wood, stone, cast stone, precast concrete, or concrete. Foam moldings are discouraged. (E) Multiple materials. Two (2) or more wall materials may be combined on one (1) façade, but should be located one above the other with lighter materials above more substantial materials (e.g. wood above stucco or masonry, or stucco above masonry). (F) Color. Materials and finishes should be composed to provide balanced designs that are appropriate to each style and context. In general, large areas of bright colors should be avoided, although strong accent colors can be successfully used. Review Criteria The PZC shall use the following review criteria as the basis for recommendations on the Application: §7.16.120(d), Alternative Equivalent Compliance (1) The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the subject design or development standard to the same or better degree than the subject standard; (2) The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan to the same or better degree than the subject standard; (3) The proposed alternative results in benefits to the community that are equivalent to or better than compliance with the subject standard; and April 24, 2014 PZC Meeting – Wyndham LRV AEC 3 (4) The proposed alternative imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur through compliance with the specific requirements of this ordinance. Staff Recommendation Approve the Material and Colors for the Wyndham Vacation resort and Alternative Equivalent Compliance application related to LRV standards for the Wyndham Vacation resort located at Lot 61, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision with the following findings: 1. The Mock‐up and proposed material board were reviewed pursuant to §7.16.080(f), Development Plan, §7.16.090(f), Design Review, and 2. The proposed mock‐up contains a stucco color – Navajo White – that exceeds the Light Reflective Value (LRV) outlined in the Development Code with an LRV of 79.47. 3. The AEC application was reviewed pursuant to §7.16.120(d), Alternative Equivalent Compliance, and were determined to be compliant with the review criteria. 4. The proposed alternative provides consistency with the West Town Center District Investment Plan design objectives by providing consistency and flexibility, while maintaining a unique design. 5. The area of proposed Navajo White, approximately 15% of the exterior wall surface, achieves the intent of Mixed‐Use Design Standards contained in the Development Code which discourage “large areas of bright colors.” Attachment Application Materials !!! April 7, 2014 ! Matt Pielsticker, AICP Planning Manager Town of Avon Community Development Department PO Box 975 Avon, CO 81620 ! Re: Submittal for an AEC for an exterior paint color to exceed the LRV of 60 for Wyndham Vacation Resort ! Dear Matt: ! Mauriello Planning Group, on behalf of 75 Benchmark LLC, is submitting this application for an Alternative Equivalence Compliance (AEC) to allow for an exterior paint color, Navajo White, with an LRV of 79.47 (LRV rating of a paint chip on a ﬂat surface) for Wyndham Vacation Resort. As you are aware, on April 1, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to continue the On-Site Mockup Review to allow us to submit for an AEC. The Town’s current requirements state the following: ! Indigenous natural or earth tones such as brown, tan, grey, green, blue, or red in muted, ﬂat colors with an LRV (Light Reﬂective Value) of sixty (60) or less are required. ! Below is a photo of the mock-up we are proposing. Based on the P&Z review on April 1, we understand that all of the colors and materials are acceptable, with the exception of the stucco color, Navajo White, which is the color we are requesting this AEC. The preference for Navajo White is based on the following: ! The lighter color helps to make the building feel less bulky at the top. The lighter color gives the wood siding a warmer and more true-wood look. This is very important to ensure we do not get orange color tones. The lighter stucco will have dark wood accents where we have brackets and trim boards. This is a very sophisticated look and is much more timeless in aesthetic than the more yellow or grey tones that we would have to push to for the LVR compliance. The stucco is used predominately in areas up high with roof shadows prevalent or in areas with exterior decks casing shadow on the building. This color and material is also used more heavily on the north elevation which will not receive as much direct sunlight The stucco is only a small portion of the building façade – it is up high and is an accent material and not the base material for the building. The percentage of stucco for the structure is only approximately 15% (of the total wall area of 51,133 sq. ft., only 7,880 sq. ft. is stucco.) The following provides the approximate amount of stucco for each elevation: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Section 7.16.120 Alternative Equivalent Compliance provides the following criteria as the basis for a decision on an application for alternative equivalent compliance: ! (1)The proposed alternative achieves the intent of the subject design or development standard to the same or better degree than the subject standard; ! Applicant Response: While limiting the LRV of exterior materials to 60, the Avon Development Code provides further guidance on the design of mixed use structures, stating: ! Multiple Materials. Two or more wall materials may be combined on one facade, but should be located one above the other with lighter materials above more substantial materials (e.g. wood above stucco or masonry, or stucco above masonry). ! With speciﬁc regard to color, the Development Code states: ! Color. Materials and ﬁnishes should be composed to provide balanced designs that are appropriate to each style and context. In general, large areas of bright colors should be avoided, although strong accent colors can be successfully used. ! It is important to note that LRV and “brightness” are not the same measure of color. “Brightness” is a measure of intensity. In simple terms, “brightness” refers to how clear or how muted a color is. LRV is the overall quantity of useable and visible light reﬂected by a surface in all directions and at all wavelengths when illuminated by a light source. The intention of LRV is to measure the need for artiﬁcial light (vs. natural light) to illuminate a room (mostly used for interior design). It is often used in green-building as a method of reducing energy consumption for interior lighting. The LRV of the same shade can be affected by the surface upon which it is applied. A glossy paint of any shade on a smooth surface will reﬂect some light, while a textured surface, such as stucco, will reﬂect light only in a diffused manner. On the exterior, LRV is more often used to describe light absorption. Low LRV colors will absorb light, often increasing costs of heating and can cause faster deterioration of exterior materials. ! The color chart below provides some commonly used colors and is organized from lower LRV to higher LRV. The intent of the design standard limiting the LRV to 60 was to limit the use of “bright” colors, but it had the effect of limiting light colors. We believe the measure has been generally misapplied in the Code and before continuing its use the Town should consult an expert in this regard. Navajo white, with an LRV of 79.47 is not a bright color, but a light color. Use of this light color achieves the intention of the LRV limitation, which is to limit the use of “bright” colors, while still maintaining the intention of lighter material (stucco) being above heavier, darker materials (stone). ! Finally, it is important to look at the mock-up and view the colors in context. The Navajo White allows for contrast with the other colors, which creates a rich color palette for the building. Adjusting the stucco color to comply with the LRV limit of 60 increases the yellow/brown tones and causes the wood siding color to appear more orange, while simultaneously making the grey siding appear more green, as indicated in the photo below: We believe that the most appropriate color scheme is as presented on the mock-up and on page 1 of this application. ! (2)The proposed alternative achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan to the same or better degree than the subject standard; ! Applicant Response: The proposed alternative allows achieves the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan. The following objectives are provided on page 53 of the Avon West Town Center District Investment Plan: Objectives • To provide enough consistency in the materials, forms, and building elements to create a uniﬁed district, while allowing enough ﬂexibility to encourage unique architectural designs and character expression. • To offer guidance and articulate design preferences to save owners, designers, and tenants time in the design review process. • To create sustainable buildings of lasting quality. • To encourage pedestrian activity • To produce a consistent collage of signs that tastefully inform, delight and stimulate the visitor and shopper while ﬁtting in seamlessly with the context of the environment. •To outline general sign requirements for retail tenants. The objective clearly identify the goal for a uniﬁed district while still allowing ﬂexibility in design. Allowing for this AEC provides for enough ﬂexibility to allow Wyndham Vacation Resort to have a color palette that is complementary to surrounding buildings, while maintaining a unique design and character expression, as is an identiﬁed goal of the Avon Comprehensive Plan. ! (3)The proposed alternative results in beneﬁts to the community that are equivalent to or better than compliance with the subject standard; and ! Applicant Response: The proposed color palette will provide for a beautiful building with colors that are cohesive with the goals of the Town of Avon. This building will be a beneﬁt to the entire community. ! (4)The proposed alternative imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur through compliance with the speciﬁc requirements of this ordinance. ! Applicant Response: There are no greater impacts on adjacent properties. The proposed color will blend well with surrounding properties while allowing for some diversity of color. ! Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. We look forward to hearing your comments on our application. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 970.376.3318. ! Sincerely, Dominic F. Mauriello, AICP Principal April 29, 2014 PZC Meeting – Tract Q, Block 2, BMBC Hoffmann CRE 1 Staff Report – Minor Development Plan April 24, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Report date April 10, 2014 Project type Commercial - Revisions to Existing Landscape and Parking Lot Expansion Legal description Tract Q, Lot 21, Lot 65-B – Benchmark at Beaver Creek Zoning Town Center Comp Plan Address East Town Center 82 E Beaver Creek Blvd Prepared By Brian Garner, Town Planner Summary Ceres Landscape Architects has submitted a Minor Development Plan application (Exhibit A) on behalf of the property owner, Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate. The property owner is proposing extensive landscape enhancements including removal of existing vegetation, installation of new vegetation, sidewalk improvements and expansion of an existing parking lot. Property Description The subject properties are located at 82 E Beaver Creek Blvd and is generally bounded by Avon Road on the west, Plaza Way on the north, Beaver Creek Place on the East and the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way on the south. Improvements proposed within this area generally include the areas of existing landscaping in the vicinity of the Benchmark Building, Annex Building and the west side of the Christy Sports/Boxcar Building. The subject property is comprised of lots 20, Tract Q and Lot 65-B, Block 2 Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision and it’s important to note that some improvements are proposed on Town of Avon (TOA) property. The lots are developed with commercial buildings containing office and retail space. Other existing improvements include paved parking, landscaping, underground utilities and lighting. Multiple access points exist and are not proposed to change. Proposal Summary According to the applicant, more parking is needed to accommodate demand for customers patronizing the new Boxcar Restaurant as well as Christy Sports. 28 new parking stalls dimensioned at 9’x18’ are proposed to be developed adjacent to the existing parking on the west side of the building. As shown on the plans, the new parking spaces would have a 5’ wide landscape buffer bifurcate the expanded parking lot. The new parking area is proposed to be located on Town of Avon property that is currently landscaped to the top of the bank and transitions into natural area at that point. April 29, 2014 PZC Meeting – Tract Q, Block 2, BMBC Hoffmann CRE 2 Currently, there is no curb and gutter separating the existing pavement from the landscape area. Due to the grade of the property at the western edge of the new parking a rea, the applicant is proposing a structural wall with a 3” stone cap and 1’ black rail mounted on top the wall. According to the wall elevation shown on sheet L6 of the submitted plans, the west face of the wall (facing Avon Road) would be clad with a stone veneer matching that stone veneer currently used along both sides of Avon Road near the Riverfront Village entrance (just south of the railroad ROW). Numerous trees are proposed to be removed as part of the landscape revisions. The landscape architect has included in the submittal a summary table identifying each tree proposed to be removed and a justification for the removal. According to the tree removal chart, nearly all the trees identified for removal are in some form of health decline as determined by a professional arborist. New proposed vegetation and landscaping consists of shrubs, ornamental grasses, perennial groundcovers and river rock mulch. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to use decorative landscape features such as flagstone, vertical brownstone sculpture pieces and landscape boulders. The details and quantity for these features are all listed in the submittal materials. Finally, several new sections of concrete walkways are proposed throughout the subject property to help facilitate safe pedestrian access across and through the site. These new walkways are identified in the plans. Improvements Summary Table: Property Existing Use Proposed Improvements Tract Q Benchmark Building Tree removal, new landscaping, new sidewalks Lot 65-B Annex Building Tree removal, new landscaping, new sidewalks Lot 21 Christy Sports/Boxcar Building Tree removal, new landscaping, new sidewalks TOA Right-of-Way Landscaping Landscape Removal, 28 new paved parking stalls, new structural wall Planning Analysis Applicability: According to the Development Code, modifications to existing development resulting in an addition or removal of 50% or more of the development is required to comply with the development standards of Chapter 7.28. It is important to note that the applicant is proposing improvements that do not cross the 50% threshold that would require overall property compliance with respect to landscaping, irrigation or parking. As a result, the applicant is not required to adhere to the minimum landscape area, maximum irrigation area or minimum parking requirement for this application. Parking: Additional parking is proposed for the Christy Sports/Boxcar building which contains 17,874 square feet according to Eagle County Assessor Data. If developed today, the parking April 29, 2014 PZC Meeting – Tract Q, Block 2, BMBC Hoffmann CRE 3 standards for a commercial land use would require four (4) parking stalls for every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (4/1,000 GFA) or 72 off-street parking stalls. The Christy Sports/Boxcar building currently contains 35 off-street parking stalls and fifteen (15) on-street parking stalls. The applicant is proposing 28 new off-street parking stalls for a total of 63 off-street parking stalls and fifteen (15) on-street parking stalls, thereby meeting the Town’s parking requirement with seventy-eight (78) parking stalls. Design Standards Analysis Landscaping: The proposed landscaping improvements meet the specific purposes of design review as well as the purpose of the Landscaping chapter of the Development Code. Subjectively, the proposed improvements will clean-up some neglected landscape areas and add visual interest around the subject property. As this is a highly visible commercial area, the freshened landscaping will be a noticeable change in the community and comes at a fortuitous time as the Town prepares for the 2015 World Championship events. For easy interpretation and analysis, the landscape architect has prepared a summary table for each lot identifying all aspects of the proposed landscape changes. Review Criteria §7.16.080(f), Development Plan (1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code as specified in §7.04.030, Purposes; (2) Evidence of substantial compliance with the §7.16.090, Design Review.

April 24, 2014 PZC Meeting – Shutters 1 Staff Report – Minor Design & Development Plan April 24, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Report date April 21, 2014 Project type Minor Design and Development Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) Address 230 & 245 Chapel Place Prepared By Matt Pielsticker, Planning Manager Introduction For review is an application to install faux shutters and window heads/sills on two buildings in the Chapel Square property. The shutters are constructed with wood and fastened to the walls with screws. The subject properties are: 1) Building A, located at 230 Chapel Place, home to Nest Furniture on the ground floor, and 2) Building C, located at 245 Chapel Place, home to Wells Fargo on the ground floor. The applicant and Owner, Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate, are also proposing to paint the same pattern as the shutters onto exit doors of the buildings. Staff authorized the Applicant to install one mockup on each building to aid the Commission’s review. This item will be reviewed in the field with a site tour, prior to action during the meeting on April 24th. Attached to this report are photo representations of the shutters installed as well as various photographs of the buildings. Planning Analysis According to the Development Code, a Minor Development Plan is required when modifications to the exterior of an existing building, including but not limited to windows, doors, minor architectural details, colors and materials are proposed. The Avon Development Code includes general review criteria as outlined below. Staff would urge PZC to consider the Design Review Guidelines criteria (No. 1), that speaks to the character of the surrounding community and character of Avon as a whole. While the use of Bavarian style shutters is not common in the Town of Avon or this “neighborhood” within Town, the scope of changes appears to be limited. Review Criteria The PZC shall use the following review criteria as the basis for recommendations on the Application: §7.16.080(f), Development Plan (1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code as specified in §7.04.030, Purposes; (2) Evidence of substantial compliance with the §7.16.090, Design Review.
