Staff Report Overview
This staff report contains two applications for consideration by the PZC:
1. MJR14005: Major Development Plan and Design Review for a Proposed Performing Arts
Pavilion in H.A. Nottingham Park
2. LCE14001: Location, Character & Extent for a Proposed Performing Arts Pavilion in H.A.
Nottingham Park
Application Purposes
7.16.80 Development Plan
The purpose of the Development Plan review process is to ensure compliance with the development
and design standards and provisions of this Development Code. It is designed to encourage quality
development reflective of the goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
7.16.90 Design Review
The purpose of the design review process is to ensure compliance with the development and design
standards of the Development Code prior to the issuance of a building permit or concurrent with
other required permits and to encourage quality development reflective of the goals and objectives
of the Avon Comprehensive Plan.
7.16.150 Location, Character & Extent
This Section implements and sets forth procedures for the regulation of the location, character and
extent of public facilities as provided by Section 31-23-209, C.R.S., Legal Status of Official Plan, as
amended. It is the intent of this Section to conform to the provisions of Section 31-23-209, C.R.S.,
to define the factors to be considered in the “Location, Character and Extent” process and to
prescribe procedures for the orderly consideration of location, character and extent applications in
order to effectuate the purposes of the state statute.
(a) Applicability. No road, park, public way, ground or space, no public building or structure and no
major facility of a public utility shall be constructed or authorized, and no building permit for the
same shall be issued, in the Town unless and until the proposed location, character and extent
thereof has been submitted to and approved by the Town. Routine extensions of public utility lines
and minor modifications to existing facilities shall not be subject to this procedure.
Summary of Request
Submitted for consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission is the formal application for the
proposed H.A. Nottingham Park Pavilion (Stage) consisting of a Major Development Plan and
Location, Character & Extent application as required by the Avon Development Code.
Feedback from the PZC on the conceptual plans presented at the June 17, 2014 PZC meeting was
generally favorable of the proposed design and supportive of the project as a whole. Brian Judge &
Tom Bashford of Vail Architecture Group, Inc (VAg) will present the final site plan, floor plan,
building elevations, landscape plan and renderings of the proposed stage at the July 15, 2014
meeting. As this is the formal application for this project, action by the PZC is requested at this
meeting.
The proposed Stage will be a cultural and entertainment venue for the community to enjoy music
festivals and concerts, art exhibitions, theater performances, educational events and private
functions in both summer and winter. As designed, the stage has a 25’ x 45’ performance space and
is large enough to accommodate a 60-piece orchestra as well as bands that typically perform at
events such as WinterWonderGrass. The Pump House will remain as Nottingham Lake’s irrigation
pump system, with the exterior remodeled for continuity with the stage. The existing Pump House
deck will be removed in favor of a new larger cantilevered deck over the Lake as the back deck to
the new stage. A “Green Room” will be connected to the stage, with adequate space for theater
performances. The Green Room will also serve as a small kitchen for events, which can include
weddings, receptions and private gatherings.
Investing in the development of the proposed Pavilion and Stage furthers the goal of building the
cultural vitality of Avon’s central core. Already in 2014, the Town of Avon is hosting summer
concerts with Bravo-Vail! in Nottingham Park, expanding the Reds, Whites and Brews Festival to a
larger single day event, providing seed money for Flavors of Color, a culinary and arts event, and
expanding a small film series as well as having partnered with the producers of WinterWonderGrass
in February.
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. At this time, an estimated construction budget of $1,500,000 has been
approved by the Council for completion of the Stage project. The Pavilion will be fully designed
with phasing possible depending on construction bids.
After reviewing the concept plan at the June 17, 2014 PZC meeting, the Planning and Zoning
Commission is now requested to take formal action on this July 15 Development Plan presentation.
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.
Property Description
The subject Property is located within Tract G, a forty-six (46) acre parcel zoned for government,
public and park functions surrounding the 15-acre Nottingham Lake. Nottingham Park is an
activated public space with civic and recreational amenities throughout the park including walking
paths, a playground, restroom facilities, a boat dock, volleyball courts, a swimming beach and a disc
golf course.
There is a mix of residential, commercial and civic uses surrounding the park. The proposed 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.
Development Standards Analysis
Summary: The application is compliant with the applicable Development Standards contained in the
Avon Development Code.
Allowed Use and Density: The subject property is zoned Parks (P) and new facilities will be
developed in accordance with the Avon Comprehensive Plan, according to the Avon Development
Code. Since the Avon Comprehensive Plan specifically references a performing arts pavilion in
Nottingham Park, the application is compliant with zoned allowed uses.
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 applicable
dimensional standards of the Parks District.
Building Height: The maximum building height permitted for this property is forty-feet (40’). The
applicant is proposing a maximum building height of approximately thirty-two feet (32’). An
Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) is required during construction to verify compliance at
both foundation and framing inspections.
Parking: Although the Development Code does not specify a parking requirement for an outdoor
entertainment facility, adequate parking is an important component to the proposed stage and other
amenities in the vicinity. Town staff is close to initiating a Town-wide Parking & Transportation
Plan and will work closely with the Planning & Zoning Commission to address parking within the
civic area.
Outdoor Lighting: The Applicant is proposing to use a combination of lighting types that will be
compliant with the Dark Sky Ordinance and meet the definition of “full cutoff” per code.
Building Design: The proposed design complies with the Development Standards contained within
§7.28.090.
Roof Material and Pitch: The structure is proposed to utilize metal, standing-seam roofing for the
primary stage roof. The roof over the Green Room and Pump House will be a sloped, flat roof
hidden by parapet wall from the front side.
Landscaping: The Parks zone district does not have a minimum landscaped area requirement and is
therefore exempt from this portion of the review. However, landscaping is proposed for the facility
and the landscape plan is included with the submittal.
Irrigation: The Parks zone district does not have a maximum irrigated area requirement and is
therefore exempt from this portion of the review. However, the Stage is proposed to be landscaped
and irrigated.
Design Standards Analysis
Applicability: According to the Avon Development Code, where the Town has adopted area-
specific design standards, adopted by public hearing procedures before the Avon Town Council,
such as the East Town Center District Plan or West Town Center District Investment Plan, those
design standards shall be applicable in addition to these regulations in the identified areas. In the
case of conflict, the area-specific design standards shall govern.
Avon West Town Center District Investment Plan Design Guidelines
Summary: The application is compliant with the applicable Design Guidelines outlined in this
adopted master plan.
Applicable Design Guidelines: E. General Building Guidelines

Planning & Zoning Commission Decision
Review Criteria
MJR14003 Major Development Plan & Design Review
§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;
Staff Response: The application is in compliance with the goals and purposes outlined in the
Development Code. Specifically, the project implements the goals and policies of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan and other applicable planning documents of the Town.
(2) Evidence of substantial compliance with the §7.16.090, Design Review.
Staff Response: Staff finds this Major Design and Development Plan application in
compliance with the Design Review criteria in the Development Code. The Design Review
section seeks high quality development and structures that are visually harmonious with
their site and surrounding vicinity. Conformance with this code section is discussed below in
response to the Design Review criteria.
(3) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
Staff Response: The proposed facility is specifically referenced in the Comprehensive Plan
as a recommended amenity. This Application proposes the construction of this amenity
consisting of architectural massing, materials, design and landscape that are consistent with
the overarching Goals and Policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
(4) Consistency with any previously approved and not revoked subdivision plat,
planned development, or any other precedent plan or land use approval for the
property as applicable;
Staff Response: The proposed stage and its use are in conformance with the intent and
allowed use of the Parks Zone district where it will be located.
(5) Compliance with all applicable development and design standards set forth in this
Code, including but not limited to the provisions in Chapter 7.20, Zone Districts and
Official Zoning Map, Chapter 7.24, Use Regulations, and Chapter 7.28, Development
Standards; and
Staff Response: The subject property is zoned Park (P) and according to the 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.” This project proposes a public facility that
diversifies the use of Nottingham Park and will be open to all members of the community;
therefore the project is consistent with the underlying Zone District, Official Zoning Map,
Use Regulations, and Development Standards.
(6) That the development can be adequately served by city services including but not
limited to roads, water, wastewater, fire protection, and emergency medical services.
Staff Response: The location of the proposed facility is capable of being served by existing
utilities and services.
§7.16.090(f), Design Review
(1) The design relates the development to the character of the surrounding
community; or, where redevelopment is anticipated, relates the development to the
character of Avon as a whole;
Staff Response: The proposed mass and scale of the structure was designed to complement
existing park conditions and respect lake views so the structure doesn’t dominate the park
landscape. Materials and landscape treatment have been chosen to be durable and
indigenous to the valley environment so that the development relates to the character of
Avon and considers future planned improvements in the vicinity.
(2) The design meets the development and design standards established in this
Development Code; and
Staff Response: The design is compliant with the development and design standards
contained in the Development Code.
(3) The design reflects the long range goals and design criteria from the Avon
Comprehensive Plan and other applicable, adopted plan documents.
Staff Response: Applicable adopted plans include the Avon Comprehensive Plan, H.A.
Nottingham Park Master Plan and Avon West Town Center District Investment Plan. The
design is considerate of these plans and incorporates design criteria as applicable.
§7.16.150(d) Location, Character & Extent Review Criteria
(1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of this Development Code;
Staff Response: The application was reviewed in accordance with the purposes of the Avon
Development Code Sec. 7.04.030 and has been determined by Staff to be compliant with all
purposes (a) through (p).
(2) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan
Staff Response: The application was reviewed in accordance with the applicable sections of
the Avon Comprehensive Plan and has been determined by Staff to be compliant with all
relevant purposes, goals and policies contained therein.
(3) Physical suitability of the land for the public way, place, structure, facility or
utility;
Staff Response: The proposed facility will append an existing facility on the site with
minimal disturbance to primary recreational amenities existing in the park. The proposed
facility will not negatively impact existing recreational or other public uses of the park and
will not impact adjacent uses or views.
(4) Compatibility with surrounding land uses; and
Staff Response: The facility is proposed to be located adjacent to Nottingham Lake in the
center of the 46-acre Tract G which provides a significant buffer to much of the surrounding
land uses. Civic land uses including Town government, Fire District and Town Recreation
Center located to the south and east will not be impacted by the facility. Residential land
uses located to the north are adequately buffered by a large expanse of landscaped park land.
(5) Adequate mitigation of adverse impact on nearby properties or neighborhoods,
including but not limited to traffic, noise, odors, vibrations and property values.
Staff Response: The proposed facility will have some impact to residential properties
located to the north. However, the stage has been designed to project sound away from those
properties to mitigate noise levels. Furthermore, the number of events projecting an elevated
level of noise will be minimal and the duration of such events also short. Traffic concerns
will be mitigated through the use of police and security during events. The proposed Stage is
a significant civic investment and amenity that will not negatively impact property values.

Planning Analysis
Allowed Use and Density: The Property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and is
located in the Wildridge Subdivision. The property is entitled for a residential duplex.
Lot Coverage, Setback and Easements: The applicant is proposing thirty-six percent (36%) lot
coverage, which complies with the maximum fifty percent (50%) allowed by zoning. This
represents all impervious surfaces compared to the total area of the Property, excluding the areas
rendered undevelopable (i.e. utility easement). The proposed structure is in compliance with the
setbacks and easements.
Building Height: The maximum building height permitted for this property is thirty-five feet
(35’). The applicant is proposing a maximum building height of twenty-nine feet and six inches
(29’-6”). An Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) is required during construction to verify
compliance at both foundation and framing inspections.
Parking: The parking requirement for each residence is three (3) on-site parking spaces. The
Applicant is proposing the following:
• East Unit: two (2) spaces in the garage and one (2) space outside the garage;
• West Unit: three (3) spaces in the garage and three (3) spaces outside the garage.
Outdoor Lighting: The Applicant is proposing to use recessed can lighting exclusively for
outdoor applications that will be compliant with the Dark Sky Ordinance.
Snow Storage: The Applicant is proposing an impervious, unheated driveway area of 3,234 SF
and a total of 1,356 SF of snow storage. Snow storage is proposed along the perimeter of both
sides of the driveway for each unit. The snow storage areas are practical and exceed the
minimum requirement of twenty percent (20%) of the driveway area.
Design Standards Analysis
Landscaping: The proposed landscape plan includes:
• Three (3) Colorado spruce trees
• Eleven (11) aspen trees
• Ten (10) Snowberry Shrubs
• One (1) Flowering Dogwood
• Five (5) Pfitzer Juniper Shrubs
• Disturbed areas to be reseeded with native grass
Irrigation: Due to the westerly site orientation and solar penetration, the applicant is proposing
permanent irrigation for all the trees and shrubs shown on the landscape plan. The proposed
irrigation plan includes:
• 30 SF of permanent drip irrigation to trees and shrubs
§7.28.050(e) requires that the development provide 128 Landscape Units based on the 6,421 SF
of landscaped area. The applicant is proposing 135 Landscape Units through the materials

2470 Old Trail Road - Lot 91, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision / Major Design & Development
discussed above. Therefore, the Application meets the 20% minimum requirements for
landscaped area, 20% maximum irrigated area, and awarded landscape units.
Building Materials and Colors: The primary exterior building materials and colors being
proposed include:
Building Design: The proposed design complies with the Development Standards contained
within §7.28.090:
Roof Material and Pitch: The applicant is proposing to use asphalt shingles for all primary
roofing.
The primary roof forms consist of roofs with a minimum four-to-twelve (4:12) pitch and
a maximum six-to-twelve (6:12) pitch. Note: a 3:12 pitch is shown on the roof plan which
is not considered a primary roof but is instead a saddle or “cricket” to properly divert
water from the adjoining roof forms.

(1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code
as specified in §7.04.030, Purposes;
Staff Response: The proposal is in compliance with the purpose provisions outlined in the
Development Code. Specifically, the design compliments the design and form of the
other structures in the vicinity. Section 7.04.030(l) of the development code contains
language to promoting “architectural design which is compatible, functional, practical
and complimentary to Avon’s sub‐alpine environment.”
(2) Evidence of substantial compliance with §7.16.090, Design Review.

compliance with the Design Review criteria in the Development Code. The Design
Review section seeks quality development and structures that are visually harmonious
with their site and surrounding vicinity. Conformance with this code section is discussed
below in response to the Design Review criteria.
(3) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan;
Staff Response: The site is located in the Wildridge Residential District (District 24) in
the Comprehensive Plan. The Wildridge Residential District includes principles that
encourage structures be compatible with one another and in harmony with the natural
surroundings. This Application proposes architectural massing, materials, colors, design
and landscape that are consistent with the overarching Goals and Policies contained in the
Comprehensive Plan.
(4) Consistency with any previously approved and not revoked subdivision plat,
planned development, or any other precedent plan or land use approval for the
property as applicable;
Staff Response: The original Wildridge PUD entitles the subject property for a residential
duplex. The application is in conformance with the accompanying requirements of the
PUD zoning and subdivision plat.
(5) Compliance with all applicable development and design standards set forth in
this Code, including but not limited to the provisions in Chapter 7.20, Zone Districts
and Official Zoning Map, Chapter 7.24, Use Regulations, and Chapter 7.28,
Development Standards; and
Staff Response: In addition to the above-referenced provisions of the Development Code,
the property is subject to the Wildridge PUD standards. The analysis contained in this
staff report ascertains that the proposed development is consistent with the applicable
