Prepared By Matt Pielsticker, AICP
Staff Report Overview
This staff report contains one application for consideration by the PZC:
1. Major Development Plan with Design Review for a townhome project on the
Red House property.
Summary of Request
Representing the property owner, Red House Avon LLC, Dominic Mauriello of MPG
(“Applicant”) is proposing a design plan (“Application”) for fifteen (15) townhome units.
The Applicant has submitted a Major Design and Development application, and review
by Planning and Zoning is required with a public hearing. The project may be phased,
and includes three buildings: Building A contains four (4) units, Building B contains five
(5) units, and Building C contains six (6) units.
The lot is accessed with a westbound turn lane off Highway 6 with right-in, right-out
access. Additionally, right-in, right-out access is provided from Avon Road.
Development Standards for the property are generally limited to those approved as
part of the PUD zoning; however, some standards from the Avon Development Code
apply for materials, colors, and townhome design. The file was continued from June 21,
2016.
Updates to Development Plan
The Application was reviewed at the June 21, 2016 PZC hearing. In response to
comments at that meeting, the following changes were made to the plans:
3:12 roofs have been replaced by 6:12 main roofs and 4:12 shed dormers.
All buildings have at least 1 ridge step of at least 18".
Asymmetric dormer replaced with 6:12 dormer.
Shed dormers have been incorporated into the roof design to break up
continuous eave and actively control snow.
Partial roofs have been incorporated above garage entries and main unit
entries. This actively breaks down mass and also provides moisture protection for
the user.
Building ends have been architecturally defined.
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 1, Eagle River at Avon / Major Design & Development Page | 2
Cedar siding has been eliminated as an immediate building base material. It
has been replaced by Swiss Pearl panel, metal panel or stucco.
Window patterns have been modified on Building C.
Vehicle gate at the south entry has been modified to increase queuing depth
and mitigate pedestrian and cycling conflicts.
Materials and transitions have been further articulated.
Cross walks with proper signage have been incorporated project entries.
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.
Public Notice
Notice of the public hearing was published in the June 10, 2016 edition of the Vail Daily
in accordance with Sec. 7.16.020(d) of the Avon Development Code. Mailed notice is
not required for this application type.
Property Description & Background
The property is 1.131 acres or 49,266 square feet, and is located at the intersection of
Avon Road and Highway 6. The property is bordered on the north by the Eagle River,
on the east by Beaver Creek, on the south by Highway 6, and on the west by Avon
Road. The Eagle Valley Regional bike path borders the west and south sides of the
project, crossing the two driveway access points.

Lot 1, Eagle River at Avon / Major Design & Development Page | 3
Aerial view of Lot 1
The land historically contained the Red House, a 1 ½ story residential building that was
constructed in 1900. After being heavily modified with additions and different building
materials in 1982, the structure no longer held historic value for registering. The building
was eventually occupied as an office for Vail Resorts. The property was annexed in
2009 and obtained PUD zoning for fifteen (15) townhomes at the same time. The
structure was ultimately demolished in 2012, and the property was graded flat in the
building footprint area.
Planning Analysis
Allowed Use and Density: The Property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and is
located in the Red House PUD. The Applicant is proposing fifteen (15) residential
townhomes in accordance with the PUD Development Plan. Vacation/Short Term
rentals are also a use-by-right.
Lot Coverage, Setback and Easements: The applicant is proposing thirty-nine-point-four
percent (39.4%) building site coverage, which complies with the maximum fifty percent
(50%) allowed by the PUD. The proposed structure is in compliance with the setbacks
and easements. The building footprints closely border the 30’ river setback, which is
measured from the annual high water line. The PUD permits roof overhangs, above
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 1, Eagle River at Avon / Major Design & Development Page | 4
ground balconies, and patios to extend into the river setback by notation on the PUD
Development Plan. Please refer to Sheet PZC-4.0 for a closer look at the relationship of
setbacks with the building footprints.
Building Height: The maximum building height permitted for this property is forty-eight
feet (48’). The applicant is proposing a maximum building height of forty-eight (48’)
according to the development plans. The height must be verified during the building
permit process with foundation and framing Improvement Location Certificates (ILC).
Parking: The parking requirement is two (2) spaces per unit, and four (4) guest spaces,
for a total of thirty-four (34) required parking spaces. The applicant has provided thirty-
four (34) on-site spaces, thereby meeting the minimum parking standards.
Outdoor Lighting: The Applicant is proposing to use dark-sky-
compliant lighting fixtures. There are two pole mounted “barn”
lights, one near each vehicle entrance. Additionally, each unit
contains a brushed aluminum wall mounted fixture (see to the right)
on the front and rear of the buildings. The fixtures comply with the
Outdoor Lighting Ordinance.
Snow Storage: The total driveway area is 7,627 square feet of
surface area requiring 1,525 square feet of snow storage. The
Applicant is proposing 1,543 square feet of snow storage. Snow
storage is proposed at the bulb-out parking areas on either end of the project as well as
between some of the driveway areas. The aspen trees that will be located between the
driveways should accommodate ample snow storage area. 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 meets the minimum landscape area
requirements (20%) by providing 50.2% landscaped area. Plantings include the use of
deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. Aspens and larger (10’ to 16’) spruce trees
are indicated on the plans. The area between Building C and Avon Road is heavily
vegetated with an added berm extending what already exists in that area of the lot.
Building Design, Building Materials and Colors: The primary exterior building materials
and colors being proposed are included on final pages of the reduced plans. All of the
building materials are of high quality and appropriate for the project. Details are
provided for all of the material applications
The Light Reflective Values (LRV) of the ‘Cape Code Gray’ measures forty (40), with is
within the allowable LRV limit of 60. All other colors are well within the maximum
allowed by code. All colors appear to be earth tone and acceptable by Code.
Roof Material and Pitch: The roof material and pitch were reviewed for compliance
with Sec. 7.28.090(d)(3) Roofs. Roof pitches have been modified since original submittal
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 1, Eagle River at Avon / Major Design & Development Page | 5
to comply with pitch standards for primary roof forms. The applicant is proposing to use
Dark Grey asphalt shingles for all roofing with a minimum four-to-twelve (4:12) pitch,
which is compliant the Development Code.
Design Standards for Townhomes
The Avon Development Code (“ADC”) contains specific review criteria for townhome
construction. ADC Section 7.28.090(d)(6) contains the following guidance when
reviewing townhome designs:
Duplex, Townhome, and Multi-Family Design. Duplex, Townhome, and Multi-Family
developments shall be designed in a manner that creates a single unified structure and
site plan. Unified design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of com patible
building materials, architectural style, scale, massing, detail, roof forms, and landscaping.
While ‘mirror image’ units are not supported, the design intent should be one that
creates a unified structure with enough variety and architectural inter est to distinguish a
duplex, townhome, or multi-family structure from a single family home.
The design creates unified structures that can be differentiated from single units, with
the use of detailing, massing, and the use of detailing to distinguish the individual units.
Architectural interest is added with framed window bump outs, rich wood coloring and
earth tone stucco.
Major Development Plan & Design Review - 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;
Staff Response: The Application is in compliance with the applicable purposes
outlined in the Development Code. In particular, the proposed structures
“promote architectural design which is compatible, functional, practical and
complimentary to Avon’s sub-alpine environment” through the use of building
materials and articulation.
(2) Evidence of substantial compliance with §7.16.090, Design Review.
Staff Response: Staff finds this Major Design and Development Plan Application
compliant with the Design Review criteria of 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 Highway 6 Gateway Corridor (District 6)
in the Comprehensive Plan. The Highway 6 Gateway Corridor includes principles
that encourage a landscaped boulevard/parkway to provide a sense of arrival
and departure for those traveling to and from Avon and to strengthen Avon’s
overall community image and identity. Additionally, the Highway 6 Gateway
Corridor encourages the enhancement of river access to the Whitewater Park.
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 1, Eagle River at Avon / Major Design & Development Page | 6
This application provides increased landscaping to buffer the project and
achieve the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The river access is further
enhanced by condition of the Red House PUD to include a new 3-4’ footpath
under Bob the Bridge to access the south side of the whitewater park.
(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 application is in conformance with the accompanying
requirements of the Red House PUD. All provisions of the Annexation and
Development Agreement remain in force and the development will comply with
provisions of that approval.
(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 Red House PUD Development Plan states that the
“Building architectural style and quality shall be commensurate with the
conceptual rendering submitted with the PUD Zoning application and on file with
the Town.” The following elevations were presented with the PUD Zoning file:
The proposed Development Plan appears to have a commensurate design with
that presented during PUD review in 2009. Pitched roof forms, with stone and
stucco siding were used in the conceptual PUD planning phase.
(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.
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 1, Eagle River at Avon / Major Design & Development Page | 7
Staff Response: The Applicant has demonstrated that the proposed
development can be served by all city and special district services in the area.
§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 architecture, materials, color palette and
landscape is similar in character to other structures in the area which feature
wood and stucco siding, and earth tone colors. Additionally, the landscaping is
proposed to consist of a mix of evergreen and deciduous species native to the
area which is common throughout Town.
(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 as determined by the above
analysis.
(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 and Townhome provisions of the Development Code. The design has been
evaluated for conformance with these plans and staff has determined the
proposed design meets the requirements as proposed.

Case #SRU16001 Special Use Review
July 6, 2016 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Project type Special Use Review
Public Hearing Required Not Required
Legal Description
Zoning
Lot 14-15, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek
Light Industrial and Commercial (IC)
Address 371 Metcalf Road Unit #2NB
Prepared By
David McWilliams, Town Planner
Introduction
Mark Donaldson (Applicant) is requesting a Special Review Use (SRU) Permit to allow
the use of a live/work unit at the Vail Avon Commercial Center, unit 2NB (Property). The
property is zoned Light Industrial and Commercial (IC).
The proposed unit is a 2,015 square foot three (3) bed, two (2) bath dwelling with a
kitchen, living room, dining room, family room, and storage closets. It is to be
constructed within the existing working space occupied by Jeffery Schiros, owner of Jeff
Schiros Painting, LLC. The remaining 625 square feet of the unit wi ll be maintained as
office space, storage of painting related materials, a restroom, and vehicle storage.
The live/work unit will have direct access to the exterior, as required by building
occupancy code.
Zoning
The property is zoned (IC) and live/work units are permitted as a Special Review Use
pursuant to §7.16.100, Special Review Use. Currently, there is another live/work unit
within the complex, owned by Robert Wagner of Wagner Electric. §7.20.080(g) and
Table 7.20-13 permits four (4) dwelling units per property (Lot), and requires Special Use
Review of applications. If approved, there would be 2 (two) dwelling units on the lot.
Special Use Reviews are regulated in §7.16.100 and, “provides a discretionary approval
process for special review uses that have unique or widely varying operating
characteristics or unusual site 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.”
Avon Municipal Code Review Standards:
§7.16.100 Special Review Use
§7.20.080 – IC Zone District
§7.24.060 – Special Review Uses
Table 7.20.13 – Dimensional Standards
Staff has reviewed the proposed live/work unit according to the above standards and
found no conflict with the intensity of use or scale of the proposal. The proposed
conversion is a Special Review Use that, upon approval, shall be evaluated for
compliance with all fire, health, and building codes. The presented design adheres to
those guidelines, and the Applicant has been proactive in complying with the Town’s
regulations.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis:
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 68, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Sign Program Amendment Page | 2
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.
Policy D.1.1: Encourage creative, forward thinking development consistent with
adopted plans.
Policy E.1.2: Permit home occupations and live/work opportunities where there is
minimal negative impact to the neighborhood to reduce traffic/commuting impacts in
the community and provide affordable options for local entrepreneurs.
Policy F.2.1: Encourage private development that provides a diversity of housing types,
sizes, architectural styles, and process ranges appropriate for local working families.
Metcalf Road District Planning Principle: Accommodate limited/accessory residential
development that supports primary industrial/employment land uses.
This three (3) bedroom live/work unit has the potential to positively affect t hese goals.
The proposed live/work unit in the IC district is compatible with the zoning and current
use, and will not adversely affect neighboring uses or the general wellbeing of the
public.
Parking and Traffic:
Staff anticipates sufficient parking minimums to be maintained due to the nature of the
development and adjacent uses. The use would have a negligible impact on the site,
and could serve to limit trips generated by reducing average commutes of workers.
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 furthers Goal C.5.2 of the Avon Comprehensive
Plan by permitting a live/work unit in the IC zone district. The use is compatible
with adjacent and surrounding uses. The applicant is compliant with all
applicable provisions of the Avon Development Code to permit a live/work unit
on this property. The applicant will be required to obtain State approval for
electrical inspections.
(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: Live/work 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; the business and housing uses are 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;
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 68, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Sign Program Amendment Page | 3
Staff Response: A live/work unit within this specific IC zone is compatible with,
and will not negatively impact, adjacent uses which are non-intensive and
commercial in nature.
(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: A live/work 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;
Staff Response: The live/work unit will be constructed to all currently applicable
building and fire codes within an existing building that is currently serviced with
all utilities, police and fire protection. It should have a negligible impact on these
utilities and services.
Recommended Motion:
“I move to approve Case #SRU16001, an application for a live/work unit wi thin the
commercial property on Lot 14-15, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision
together with staff’s recommended findings and conditions.”
Findings:
1. The Application was reviewed in conformance with the provisions and
procedures outlined in §7.16.100, Avon Development Code.
2. Live/Work Units are supported by the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, as
outlined in Staff’s Report.
Condition:
1. The unit will be leased to employee(s) of Jeff Schiros Painting, LLC, employee(s)
of another business situated at 371 Metcalf Road, or a Building Property
Manager/ Caretaker for the subject property.

Case #SGN16003 Master Sign Program Amendment
July 6, 2016 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Project type Master Sign Program Amendment
Public Hearing Required Not Required
Legal Description
Zoning
Lot 68 Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, Eagle River at
Beaver Creek
Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
Address 8 Nottingham Road
Prepared By David McWilliams, Town Planner
Background
KTK General Contracting (applicant) seeks approval to amend the Comprehensive Sign
Program of the Swift Gulch Business Center, 2003 (attached). These changes would
allow the current tenants to update corporate logos in the gas pump area with the
addition of blade signs for increased branding and advertisement space. Staff recently
approved corporate logo changes to the top of the canopy and the monument sign
based on conformance with the existing Master Sign Program.
Summary of Request
Applicant seeks the addition of six (6) interior lit blades over pumps and three (3) waves
attached to the east canopy column, per Exxon corporate standards. (attached) The
addition of the blades requires review and action by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Staff administratively approved changes to the monument, canopy signs,
storefront logos, and pumps.
Planning Analysis
Sign Program Design Review - Review Criteria
§15.28.070, Design Review Criteria
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;
Staff Response: The proposed signage improvements are suitable to the gas
station site. The materials proposed are aligned with other commercial signage
improvements in the commercial corridor.
2) The nature of adjacent and neighboring improvements;
Staff Response: Adjacent and neighboring improvements use similar quality
materials and design to those being proposed in this application. The
neighboring gas station does not utilize ‘blade’ signs, however, the pump area is
branded appropriately.
3) The quality of the materials to be utilized in any proposed improvement;
July 6, 2016 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Lot 68, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Sign Program Amendment Page | 2
Staff Response: The application proposes the use of polyurethane blades
encasing a steel support structure, which is similar to other materials found
throughout the commercial corridor.
4) The visual impact of any proposed improvement, as viewed from any adjacent
or neighboring property;
Staff Response: The signage is intended to be visible to auto traffic from the
commercial corridor, and is consistent with the appearance of nearby
properties.
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: Aesthetic values should not be impaired as the improvement is
exclusive to Exxon gas station and maintains the character of the use and
vicinity.
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 sign code. The quantities are consistent with sign code
limitations and appropriate for the project as proposed.
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 primarily oriented to vehicular traffic,
commensurate with the property’s primary use as fuel and snack stop.
Staff Recommendation for SGN16003 Sign Program Amendment:
Staff recommends approving the Sign Program Amendment application for Lot 68,
Block 1 Benchmark at Beaver Creek, Swift Gulch Business Center.
Recommended Motion:
“I move to approve Case #SGN16003, an application for a Sign Program Amendment
for lot 68, Block 1 Benchmark at Beaver Creek with the following additional language to
the Master Sign Program as illustrated in Attachments D and E to Staff’s Report:
Sign Specification. 2e) Blade Signs. Three (3) red waves on the east
canopy columns and six (6) red interior lit “Synergy” signs over all pumps.
Together with Staff’s recommended findings.”
Recommended Finding:
1) The Sign Program Amendment is compatible with the site and building, and
should provide for a similarity of types, sizes, styles and materials for signs within
the project.
2) Per the Sign Code, several alternatives for signage should be included in the
program.
