Staff Report - Sketch Design
June 17, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Project type Public Improvement – H.A. Nottingham Park Pavilion (Stage)
Legal description Tract G, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Zoning Park Zone District
Address One Lake Street, Avon, CO 81620
Prepared By Brian Garner, Town Planner
Summary of Request
Brian Judge of Vail Architecture Group, Inc (VAg), has been retained by the Town of Avon to
design and present to the Planning & Zoning Commission a Sketch Design for the H.A. Nottingham
Park Pavilion (“Stage”). The Stage is proposed to be located immediately adjacent to the north
side of the existing Pump House at Nottingham Park.
VAg will present the site plan, floor plan, building elevations, conceptual landscape plan and
conceptual renderings of the proposed stage at the June 17 meeting. As this is a sketch plan, no
action is required by the PZC at this meeting. Staff recommends that the PZC provide feedback on
the proposed sketch plan design as it relates to the Design Standards, Comprehensive Plan, West
Town Center Implementation Plan, and the H.A. Nottingham Park Master Plan. A formal
application comprised of a Major Development Plan and Location, Character & Extent submittal will
be presented to the PZC at the July 15, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission public hearing.
Background & Process
The 2008 H.A. Nottingham Park Master Plan (Park Master Plan) recommends the construction of a
pavilion in Nottingham Park. On November 10, 2009, the Town Council retained Vail Architecture
Group (VAg) for $32,210 with a total project budget of $200,000 to build the Pavilion. Staff was
directed to facilitate Pavilion construction in the 2010 calendar year.
At the January 26, 2010 Town Council Meeting, Engineering Staff presented design phases for
Council review and input. In addition to the design, the budget constraints for completion of the
project were highlighted to Council. Staff was directed to delay construction and pursue a capital
fund-raising campaign in order to assist with funding the project.
In late April 2014, the Avon Town Council reviewed three preliminary schematic design concepts
and stage locations within the Park, deciding to support the construction of a stage integrated with
a remodeled Pump House. An estimated construction budget of $1,000,000 has been approved by
the Council for the Pavilion (Stage). The Pavilion will be fully designed with phasing possible
depending on construction bids. The project is expected to break ground in early August with a
grand opening of the Pavilion planned for the end of November to support the 2015 winter events
season and the 2015 Alpine World Ski Championships.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will take no formal action on this June 17 Sketch Plan
presentation. The Sketch Plan process is intended to provide the applicant with guidance from the
Planning Commission and Staff to incorporate into the final design for the Development Plan
application. The formal application requiring action by the PZC is scheduled for the July 15, 2014
hearing.
Property Description
The subject Property is located within Tract G, a forty-six (46) acre public parcel zoned for
Governmental and park functions. There is a mix of residential, commercial and civic uses
surrounding the park. The site for the stage is located on the east Shore of Nottingham Lake,
adjacent to the north side of the existing pump house. The site is relatively level and contains four
(4) mature spruce trees that will have to be removed or relocated to accommodate the new
pavilion.
Zoning Analysis
The property is zoned Parks District (P) and according to the Avon Development Code,
“the purpose of the P district is to promote and encourage a suitable environment devoted
to parks, recreation improvements, trails and organized recreation uses for the enjoyment
of all members of the community. There are no dimensional requirements for this district.
Active recreation facilities and structures will be developed according to the
Comprehensive Plan. Unless otherwise set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, the following
dimensions shall apply for the Parks (P) zone district.

Allowed Use and Density: The Property is zoned Parks District and is located within the
Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. According to Sec.7.20.080 of the Development
Code, “active recreation facilities and structures will be developed according to the Avon
Comprehensive Plan.”
The Avon Comprehensive Plan designates the Nottingham Park District as a medium
priority district and provides the following key planning principle of this District:
• “Strengthen this area as a cultural and recreational center by including
amenities such as a performing arts pavilion, maintaining flexible space for
temporary concession facilities, and providing a western anchor to the future “Main
Street.”
Furthermore, the 2008 Master Plan for Harry A. Nottingham Park states: “Identifying the
West Town Center as a “High Priority District,” the 2006 comprehensive plan update
added momentum to some of the ideas from earlier plans (like the pedestrian mall) that
had not yet moved from paper to reality. Specific development proposals for the town
center that will undoubtedly affect use of the park include:”
• “A performing arts pavilion is proposed on the east side of Nottingham Lake
on axis with the proposed Main Street alignment.”
Lot Coverage, Setback and Easements: The proposed structure is in compliance with the
dimensional standards of the Parks District. The stage is proposed to be located away
from property lines; therefore it is in conformance with the setbacks established for this
District.
Building Height: The maximum building height permitted for the Parks zone district is forty-
feet (40’). The applicant is proposing a maximum building height of thirty-two feet (32’).
An Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) is required during construction to verify
compliance at both foundation and framing inspections.
Next Steps
A formal application consisting of a Major Development Plan and Location, Character &
Extent is scheduled for the July 15, 2014 PZC meeting. The PZC will take formal action on
these applications at that time.

June 17, 2014 PZC Meeting – Lot 14/15, Block 1, BMBC SRU for ADU 1
Staff Report - Special Review Use
June 17, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Project type: Special Review Use (SRU) – Accessory Dwelling Unit within
the IC Zone District
Legal description: Lot 18/19, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Address: 371 Metcalf Road Unit #2NA
Prepared By: Brian Garner, Town Planner
Summary of Request
Mark Donaldson, Architect (the Applicant) representing Robert Wagner of Wagner Electric (the
Owner), is requesting a Special Review Use (SRU) Permit to allow the use of an Accessory Dwelling
Unit (ADU) in Unit #2NA within a property zoned Light Industrial/Commercial (IC) located on Lot
18/19, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision (The Property).
According to the applicant, the proposed ADU is an 862 square foot one bed/one bath dwelling unit
constructed within the existing business condominium unit housing Wagner Electric. The ADU has
direct access to the exterior at the east end of the unit and is separated from the balance of the unit
by a 1-hour fire wall construction that includes a rated door assembly (per Building Code) for direct
access into the business work area.
According to the Owner, the ADU will be leased to either an employee of Wagner Electric, an
employee of another business situated at 371 Metcalf Road or a Building Property
Manager/Caretaker for the property.
Exhibit A provides an aerial vicinity map depicting the location of the Property and its immediate
surroundings. Additionally, a floor plan of the proposed ADU is included as Exhibit B.
Planning Analysis
Zoning
The Property is zoned Light Industrial and Commercial (IC) and Accessory Dwelling Units are
permitted as a Special Review Use pursuant to Section 7.16.100 Special Review Use. Section
7.20.80(g) and Table 7.20-13 limits the density of ADU’s permissible on a property to a maximum of
four (4) Accessory Dwelling Units. According to the Development Code, the IC zone district “is
intended to provide for a variety of businesses, including warehouses, research and development
firms, repair shops, wholesale distributors and light manufacturing. This district may include
supporting office and commercial uses where appropriate. Uses permitted in this district are
intended to serve community and regional needs. This district is intended to be located away from
low and medium density residential development. The IC district implements the light industrial
commercial and employment classification of the Avon Future Land Use Plan and should be located
along an arterial roadway.”
A Special Review Use is regulated in Sec. 7.16.100 of the Avon Development Code. According to the
purpose statement for this Section: “This Section provides a discretionary approval process for
special review uses that have unique or widely varying operating characteristics or unusual site
June 17, 2014 PZC Meeting – Lot 14/15, Block 1, BMBC SRU for ADU 2
development features. The procedure encourages public review and evaluation of a use’s operating
characteristics and site development features and is intended to ensure that proposed use will not
have a significant adverse impact on surrounding uses or on the community at large. Special review
uses that may be allowed in each zone district are listed in Table 7.24-1, Allowed Uses.”
It is important to note that while an ADU is not specifically listed as an allowed (by-right) or Special
Review Use in Table 7.24-1, the Development Code also states: “Development or use of a property
for any other use not specifically allowed in Table 7.24-1 and approved under the appropriate process
is prohibited, unless determined by the Director that the proposed use is consistent with intent of
the zone district.” Staff has critically reviewed the proposed ADU in accordance with:
• The intent of the IC zone district (Sec. 7.20.080 & Table 7.20-13)
• The Special Review Use performance standards (Sec. 7.24.060)
• The Use Regulations (7.24.010 Table of allowed uses description)
The proposed ADU does initially seem to conflict with the intent of the IC zone district and in some
cases Staff may not support this arrangement. However, there is a proven need for more live/work
facilities in the Town of Avon and this concept generally makes sense within certain properties,
depending on the adjacent and surrounding uses. Upon evaluating the uses allowed by-right in the IC
zone district, it is apparent that the intensity of allowed uses is generally low and would not conflict
with a live/work arrangement at this location. Other businesses located at 371 Metcalf include AAA
Mini Storage, Burgess Fine Woodworking, Maverick Flooring, Shaw Electric, A&M Group Carpet
Cleaning and Campbell Construction.

ACCESSORY
UNITS
The zoning analysis determination by Staff is that the proposed ADU within this specific IC-zoned
business condominium is compatible with the zoning and will not conflict with other uses currently
operating by-right within the building. Furthermore, the use as an ADU will not adversely impact
legally existing uses at this location. Lastly, it should be noted that approval of the SRU does effect a
zoning change and therefore, the SRU would be approved in perpetuity unless the PZC conditions
otherwise.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis
The Avon Comprehensive Plan utilizes the same language as the intent statement for the IC zone
district. Specific Land Use Policies identified in the Comprehensive Plan that support this application
include:
• Policy C.2.1: Promote a wide range of residential uses including single family, duplex,
multifamily, and vertically integrated residential units (housing on the upper floors of mixed-
use commercial buildings) throughout the town.
• Policy C.5.2: Permit accessory residential uses in association with light industrial commercial
development when compatible.
• District 11: Metcalf Road District. Planning Principle: Accommodate limited/accessory
residential development that supports primary industrial/employment land uses.
June 17, 2014 PZC Meeting – Lot 14/15, Block 1, BMBC SRU for ADU 3
Building Safety and Code Requirements
Willey Gray, Building Official for the Town of Avon has reviewed and approved the building plans for
the ADU and has inspected every phase of the rough construction of the unit to-date under the
following codes:
• 2009 International Building Code
• 2009 International Fire Code
The unit is fully sprinklered and contains hard-wired smoke detectors and carbon-monoxide
detectors. Radon detectors are not required. Additionally, the plans have been review and approved
by the Eagle River Fire Protection District.
According to Willey Gray, should the Planning Commission not grant approval of the ADU, the owner
may still utilize the finished space as additional office space, but the unit may not be occupied for
sleeping. Final inspections are required to be approved by the Avon Building Official and Eagle River
Fire Protection District prior to occupancy of the unit whether it’s approved for an ADU or not.
Parking and Traffic
Sufficient parking exists on-site for a resident of the proposed ADU. Approval of the ADU would have
a negligible impact on traffic and potentially could help achieve goals to reduce trips generated by
eliminating any commute with this live/work arrangement.
Review Criteria
A Special Review Use application must meet the criteria set forth in Sec. 7.16.100 of the Avon
Development Code as follows:
(1) The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and all applicable
provisions of this Development Code and applicable state and federal regulations;
Staff Response: The proposed use achieves Goal C.5.2 of the Avon Comprehensive
Plan by permitting an ADU in the IC zone district upon determining the use is
compatible with adjacent and surrounding uses. The applicant is compliant with all
applicable provisions of the Avon Development Code in order to permit an ADU at
this property. Lastly, the applicant is required to obtain State approval for electrical
inspections and has the requisite approvals.
(2) The proposed use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning
district in which it is located and any applicable use-specific standards in the
Development Code;
Staff Response: Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted as a special review use in
the IC zone district. Uses permitted in the IC zone district are intended to serve
community and regional needs, therefore the proposed ADU is consistent with the
purpose and intent of the IC zone district.
(3) The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses in terms of scale, site design,
and operating characteristics;
Staff Response: An ADU within this specific light industrial and commercial
condominium building is compatible with and will not negatively impact adjacent
uses which are non-intensive uses that are commercial in nature.
June 17, 2014 PZC Meeting – Lot 14/15, Block 1, BMBC SRU for ADU 4
(4) Any significant adverse impacts (including, but not limited to, hours of
operation, traffic generation, lighting, noise, odor, dust, and other external
impacts) anticipated to result from the use will be mitigated or offset to the
maximum extent practicable;
Staff Response: An Accessory Dwelling Unit is less intensive than legally existing
uses on the property and will have a negligible impact on traffic generation,
lighting, noise, odor, dust and other external impacts.
(5) Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas,
electricity, police and fire protection, and roads and transportation, as applicable)
will be available to serve the subject property while maintaining adequate levels of
service for existing development; and
Staff Response: The ADU is being constructed to all currently applicable building
and fire codes within an existing building that is currently serviced with all utilities,
police and fire protection. The ADU should have a negligible impact on these
utilities and services.
(6) Adequate assurances of continuing maintenance have been provided.
Staff Response: The addition of an ADU into the existing facility represents a
significant investment by the owner to help ensure the building is secured and
maintained at all times.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve Case #SRU14001 and
Resolution No. 14-02, approving a Special Review Use permit for an accessory dwelling unit at 371
Metcalf Road.
Conditions
1. The ADU shall only be leased to either an employee of Wagner Electric, an employee of
another business situated at 371 Metcalf Road or a Building Property Manager/Caretaker for
the property.
Recommended Motion
I move to approve the Special Review Use permit proposed in Case #SRU14001 , an application to
allow an Accessory Dwelling Unit in the IC Zone District with one condition that the Accessory
Dwelling Unit shall only be leased to either an employee of Wagner Electric, an employee of another
business situated at 371 Metcalf Road or a Building Property Manager/Caretaker for the property.

Staff Report – Case #CTA14001 Code Text Amendments
June 17, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
To Avon Planning and Zoning Commission
From Brian Garner, Town Planner
Date June 2, 2014
RE: Public Hearing to Recommend Approval of Two Proposed Code Text Amendments to the
Avon Development Code:
1. Section 7.28.090(3)(v), Building Materials & Colors
2. Section 7.16.080(d) & 7.16.090(d), Public Hearing Requirements
Code Text Amendment #1: Building Materials & Colors (LRV)
Summary
Town Staff is presenting a proposed amendment to Section 7.28.090(3)(v), Building Materials & Colors,
of the Avon Development Code. The proposed Code Text Amendment would remove the Light Reflective
Value (LRV) standard from this Section and modify the language associated with color approval.
As a matter of process, a public hearing before the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission is required to
forward the proposed Code Text Amendment to Town Council for final action of Ordinance 14-09.
Background
Town Council discussed removing Light-Reflective-Value (LRV) standards from the Development Code at
the April 8, 2014 Town Council meeting and directed Staff to provide amended language options to the
Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) for consideration. At the May 6, 2014 PZC meeting, several
options to revise the current Development Code language was presented by Staff and deliberated by the
PZC. The Planning Commission opted for an alternative of the options presented and unanimously
passed a motion to effect the change.
Existing Language and Proposed Language:
Existing Language Proposed to be Amended:
§7.28.090(3)(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.
Proposed Language:
§7.28.090(3)(v) Colors: Indigenous natural or earth tones in muted, flat colors are required. Large wall
areas shall be subdued in color and not reflective. Colors shall not be used to act as signs. Deeper, richer
shades of colors are preferred. Building composition and elements such as building scale, landscaping,
architectural style and surrounding properties are factors that will be considered for color approval.
Development Code Language Retained:
§7.28.090(3)(vi): The following colors are prohibited: neon, Day-Glo, fluorescent, reflective and non-earth
tones.
§7.28.090(3)(vii): All flues, flashing and other reflective materials shall be painted to match and/or
appropriately contrast with adjacent materials.

amendment to mandate a Public Hearing for any application being considered by the Planning & Zoning
Commission.

Proposed Language:
§7.16.080(d): PZC shall review and render a decision or recommendation on the development plan
application after conducting a public hearing. Notice of the public hearing shall be published and posted
in accordance with 7.16.020(d)(1) and mailed notice is not required. The decision of PZC may be
appealed to the Town Council pursuant to Section 7.16.160, Appeal. The Director shall not conduct a
public hearing for administrative review and decision on development plan applications.”

appealed to the Town Council pursuant to Section 7.16.160, Appeal. The Director shall not conduct a
public hearing for administrative review and decision on design review applications.”
Table 7.16-1: The Development Review Procedures and Review Authority Table will be updated in
accordance with the code text amendment.
Review Criteria
§7.16.040(c), Code Text Amendment Review Criteria
The PZC and Town Council shall use the following review criteria as the basis for recommendations and
decisions on applications to amend the text of the Development Code:
