Legal description Lots 21 and 65-B, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
Zoning Town Center (TC)
Address 0182 Avon Road
Prepared By Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager
Summary
The Applicant, Monte Park of Sign on Design, representing the owners of the Annex Station Building
(formerly “Christy Sports Building” or “182 Avon Road”), has submitted a Master Sign Program (“MSP”)
amendment application for new tenant signage and a new monument sign. The Application is being
reviewed in accordance with §15.28.080(16), Sign Programs, Avon Municipal Code. Attached to this
report is a summary of the amendments, which includes five (5) tenant identification building mounted
signs, awning signage, and one (1) freestanding monument sign with multiple tenant panels.
This application was continued from the September 2, 2014 PZC meeting pending design modifications
for the building mounted tenant identification signs. The PZC recommended changes to provide
consistency between all of the building mounted signage. There were no concerns with the amount of
signage or orientation, only with design as it relates to other signs in the neighboring properties.
Updates
Attached to this report is an updated sign program, with the following notable changes:
• North facing CHRISTY SPORTS sign modified to mount on clear coated notched cedar backing.
Cedar to match that used on entry canopy.
• West facing CHRISTY SPORTS sign modified with cedar clear coated trim on both sides and
bottom of framing system. Cedar to match that used on entry canopy.
• West facing AMT RADIO sign to be either 1) cedar with custom finials on each side. Gooseneck
lighting to match Boxcar signage; or 2) blue awning style ot match awning system on north side
of building.
Background
The current MSP is almost 25 years old, and includes various sign allotments for tenants that no longer
occupy the building. It also includes a variety of sign types including fabric awnings, and pan-channel
letter signs. The purpose of this MSP Amendment is to address the remaining tenant signage (Christy
Sports), as well as a new monument sign design.
The PZC approved an amendment to this program earlier this year for Boxcar. One of the two Boxcar
signs is facing the railroad tracks and brings exposure to the new tenant from Nottingham Station and
the planned crossing. This MSP amendment was continued from the September 2, 2014 meeting.
Review Criteria
§15.28.070, Design Review Criteria. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the following
items in reviewing proposed designs:
(1) The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be
constructed and the site upon which it is to be located;
September 16, 2014 PZC Meeting – Crossing MSP Amendment 2
Staff Response: The signage is suitable and the construction materials are of high quality and
consistent with Sign Code recommendations.
(2) The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements;
Staff Response: The neighboring monument signs are identical in construction and design and
appear to continue a consistent theme with signage. Most tenant signs in the area are exterior
lit with goose-neck lights; however, Pier 1 imports includes white pan-channel lettering and is
consistent with the Christy Sports tenant signage proposed.
(3) The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement;
Staff Response: The quality of the materials is high and appropriate for this Town Center
property.
(4) The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent or
neighboring property;
Staff Response: The signage will be viewable from multiple neighboring properties, including
Town rights-of-way on Benchmark Road and Avon Road from Roundabout #4. No significant
impacts are anticipated as proposed.
(5) The objective that no improvement will be so similar or dissimilar to other signs in the
vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic, will be impaired;
Staff Response: No aesthetic values should be impaired. While the signs are similar (or exact
same design in the case of the monument sign), tying multiple properties together with one
shopping experience is viewed as a major improvement for East Avon.
(6) Whether the type, height, size and/or quantity of signs generally complies with the sign
code, and are appropriate for the project;
Staff Response: The type, height, size, and quantity of signs are generally compliant with the
Side Code. The quantities are consistent with Sign Code limitations and appropriate for the
project as proposed. The location of the monument sign must be conditioned upon final
approval by the Town Council. Staff recommends that specific findings for this sign be added to
the design approval as to distinguish the necessity for this sign from other private signs on
public property.
(7) Whether the sign is primarily oriented to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and whether the
sign is appropriate for the determined orientation.
Staff Response: The signs are oriented primarily to vehicles, which is appropriate given that
most guests and shoppers arrive by vehicle.
§15.28.080(16) Sign programs. Sign programs are encouraged for all projects, and are required as a part
of the design review process for all proposed projects. Sign programs shall:
a. Sign programs shall be compatible with the site and building, and should provide for a
similarity of types, sizes, styles and materials for signs within a project. Several alternatives for
signage should be included in the program so as not to be so restrictive as to eliminate
individuality.
b. Sign programs may be proposed or changed only by the owners of the building or the
owners' association. Sign program changes or proposals may not be made by an individual
business.
September 16, 2014 PZC Meeting – Crossing MSP Amendment 3
c. Proposed signs, not in accordance with an approved sign program, will only be considered by
the Planning and Zoning Commission upon receipt of written evidence that the proposed sign is
acceptable to the owners of the building or the owners' association.
d. All sign programs shall be in written and plan form. Plans shall indicate size, location, type and
number of signs for the site and buildings.
e. Programs may include limitations on wording, colors, design, lighting, materials and other
restrictions, and deemed appropriate by the applicant.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the PZC consider approving the MSP amendment application for the Crossing
Building located at Lot 21, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision as outlined below. Given the
location of the Monument Sign on Town property, Staff recommends that PZC add additional findings
specific to the monument sign and the appropriateness/uniqueness of its location.
Condition
1. The monument sign is located on Town of Avon property (Lot 65-B). This approval is
for design only; final approval must be obtained from the Avon Town Council, or sign must
be relocated to location within Lot 21 and approved by Staff.
Findings
1. The MSP was reviewed in accordance with §15.28.080(16), Sign Programs, and found to be in
conformance with the recommendations of the Sign Code.
2. The design of the MSP complies with the review criteria set forth in §15.28.070, Design Review
Criteria, of the Avon Municipal Code;
3. The MSP is compatible with the site and building, and provides for a similarity of sign types,
with alternatives for different tenant spaces.

Subdivision
Zoning PUD
Address 220 Chapel Place
Prepared By Brian Garner, Town Planner
Introduction
Jon White, the Applicant, representing Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate, the Property Owner, has
submitted an application for the placement of the bronze statue “Legend of Ulele” on a raised
pedestal in the parking lot of Pier 1/Sports Authority in Chapel Square.
Property Description
The subject property is located at 220 Chapel Place and is generally bounded by Benchmark Road
on the west, Chapel Lane on the north, Chapel Square condominiums on the East and the Union
Pacific Railroad right-of-way on the south. The properties are developed with commercial buildings
containing retail space in a big-box store format. Other existing improvements include paved
parking, landscaping, underground utilities and lighting. Multiple access points exist and are not
proposed to change.
Proposal Summary
Constructed earlier this summer, the statue “Legend of Ulele” is proposed to remain where currently
placed on Tract B-1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. The statue base was inadvertently
constructed across parcel lines and therefore straddles the parcel line between Tract B-1 and Tract
A. An average of 2.75’ of an approximate 9’ length of statue base is sitting on Tract A, owned by
the Town of Avon as shown on Exhibit A.
Applicability
