November 15, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report Date November 9, 2005
Project Type Minor Project — Fence
Legal Description Lot 80A, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision
Address 2465 Draw Spur Road, Unit A
Introduction
A Minor Project application for this fence was denied at the Commission's December
7th, 2004 meeting. It was denied (5-1 vote) due to concerns with grading and the fact
that the proper procedure was not followed. The fence had been installed before the
application was made to the Town. The applicant, Bill Vancuren, appealed the
Commission's decision and the decision was heard by the Town Council.
At the Council's January 11th, 2005 meeting a unanimous motion was made to remand
the application back to the Planning Commission for further review. Town Council felt
that the Commission's reasons for denial were not acceptable and that a completed
landscape plan should go back for review before the Planning Commission.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 4.10, the
Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. Fence material shall be wood and no more than four feet in height
The fence is wood and no more than four feet in height.
2. Split rail design with no more than 2 horizontal 'rails.'
The fence has 2 horizontal 'rails.'
3. Does not delineate property lines.
The proposed fence does not delineate property lines.
4. Fenced area is less than 2,000 square feet.
There are two lengths of fence that contain an area approximately 1000 square
feet in size, thereby in compliance with this criteria.
5. Wildlife migration is not negatively affected with the proposed fence
design.
Wildlife migration should not be affected with this fence design.

The fence was approved by the homeowners associated for the project (Elk
Run). It is questionable whether or not the fence 'design' is integrated with the
overall landscape design.
7. If located on a duplex property, written approval must be received from
adjoining property owner and the fence design must be Integrated with the
overall landscape design.
Not applicable.

as well as the trucking industry and that immediately implementing the short-term
solutions would be in order. Staff would continue to research the costs of the long-
term solutions. It was suggested by Mark Donaldson that the town conduct a zoning
certification in that area, since he thought that some of the building may not be in
compliance with the originals plans submitted to the town.

C O L O R A D O
November 11 th, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
Report date November 7, 2005
Project type Mixed -Use Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Amendment
Legal description The Confluence PUD ("Beaver Creek
Landing")
Current zoning PUD
Address 0095 Avon Road
Introduction
Outlined below are several of the remaining discussion items of the PUD amendment reviewed
at the initial hearing that we hope to complete at this meeting (please refer to the application
submitted for specific details of each area highlighted below). In some cases the applicant has
either responded to the Commission's suggestions regarding specific revision to the site plan
(i.e. gondola location and building orientation) and/or has provided a more detailed analysis of
specific areas of the plan (parking).
Because the applicant submitted the parking analysis by Walker on November 10'h, staff has
had little time to review and comment on this report and encourages the Commission to explore
the assumptions of both this report and the parking demand analysis located in Tab II of the
appendix of your original bound application. We suspect that the majority of this meeting will be
devoted to the parking analysis and discussion, and as such, we will focus the report primarily
on that topic. If possible, we will also touch on the proposed employee housing mitigation.
PUD Parking Background & Review Documents
The applicant has provided an in-house analysis of the anticipated parking demand generated
from the site along with analysis performed by Walker Parking Consultants (Exhibit A). Both
analyses estimate the total parking demand projected based on use and anticipated
management/control of the of the structured parking. The models used for this analysis are
relatively sophisticated and staff has asked the applicant to provide an overview of both the in-
house analysis and the consultant's findings during the meeting. Again, staff has had minimal
time to review this analysis as it was submitted a day before the packets were distributed to the
Commission.
The proposed parking for all land uses (hotel, timeshare, and whole ownership) would be
developed below grade, in some cases two levels below grade. The below grade parking would
be connected in some areas with control devices allowing for access. For example, the
timeshare west building would locate the retail component of the required parking in the shared
parking area of the hotel. Staff prefers the use of below grade parking, as it is not only a more
efficient use of the site; it helps to achieve the pedestrian environment that both staff and the
applicant desire. This is a large departure form the existing PUD that contemplated all surface

parking, the extent of which would encompass approximately 1/3 of the site. That said, our goal
is that the below grade parking is an effective, safe and convenient experience for the public.
The analysis of parking performed by the applicant was developed using data provided by the
Eagle County Airport along with data provided by Colorado Mountain Express (CME). In general
terms, the purpose of the analysis is to explain visitor travel behavior in terms of the percentage
of visitors that fly versus those that drive for each guest type. The model then takes that
percentage of visitors that fly and generates a percentage of visitors who rent cars versus those
that take a shuttle form the airport (Sections 1 and 2). Using these percentages, the model then
calculates the projected percentages of owners/users that will have a car during their stay and
therefore require a parking stall. This model is used for both the whole ownership and
timeshare components of the development. It is important to note that the model assumes
100% occupancy, which represents the most conservative occupancy assumption.
Of most importance in your review, please consider the following requests being made by the
applicant:
- A request for a fifteen percent (15%) reduction for 'shared parking' that is proposed for
all parking in the application (however this is inconsistent with the 'Parking Analysis
Summary Matrix' provided by Walker Consultants in Tab 2 of the November 10, 2005
Parking Analysis Handout). This additional reduction was not approved as part of the
development standards that currently exist in the PUD.
- A request for the 30% maximum allowance of compact spaces for the entire project.
This is the maximum amount permitted by Town Code.
- A request for a lowered parking ratio for 'Incidental Commercial' versus Standard
Commercial, which include the Spa and Meeting Facilities.
Please keep these items at the forefront of your review and in context to the existing PUD
standards and the standards required by the Town Code, particularly the request for a further
shared use reduction when the required Town Code ratio is not also being applied. We have
attached the relevant sections of the Town Code.
Because of the range of uses and the flexibility to permit different types of uses, the aggregate
number of required parking spaces for the entire project is difficult to determine at this stage.
Staff's analysis of the parking is therefore predicated on the specific land use and corresponding
parking ratio. The following section is a parking comparison by land use based on the existing
PUD, the proposed PUD, and the Town Zoning Code.
Hotel Parking Proposal
The proposed hotel will be programmed as a condo -tel, which combines owner occupied
condominiums with an option to enter these units into a rental pool. The program would allow
for a mix of studio units, 1 -bedroom units, 2-bedrrom units, and 3 -bedroom units, all of which
could be lock -off in various rental configurations. The parking ratio, however, is irrespective of
the mix of units since this may vary through the design review approval process.
As proposed, the parking ratio for the residential portion of the hotel is a request for a reduced
parking ratio from both the existing approved PUD and Town Code.

November 15", 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting Page 3 of 8
The hotel also includes commercial uses, which are discussed in detail below, however the
Walker Study is applying a 15% shared use reduction to this portion of the project and the
original application is proposing a 15% reduction to the entire project. The applicant should
clarify this condition for staff and the Commission; however, irrespective of the request staff
does not support a further reduction from a standard they would like to create for this project
specifically. The 15% reduction should not be taken out of context to the required ratio that it is
attached to in the Town Code (see AMC requirements attached as Exhibit B).
Under the proposed use configuration, the application seeks a variance from the Town Code of
approximately 56 spaces for the hotel. Compared to the current PUD standard, the variance is
only 10 spaces. Again, the Commission should consider that the ratio is capped with a
maximum of 1.2 spaces per unit maximum, so that a 2 or 3 bedroom unit is parked the same as
a 2 bedroom unit in the hotel.
The application also suggests that the maximum allowance for compact spaces ("Parking Space
Size Reduction for Compact Cars', AMC 17.24.020/ Exhibit B) be employed in this PUD, which
amounts to 30% of the entire parking. In the specific analysis provided by Walker and assuming
that 601 total spaces would be constructed as a result of the unit count/mix, that allowance
would permit the construction of 180 compact spaces.
Irrespective of the unit mix or total number of spaces or final parking ratio that might be
acceptable to the Town, staff would strongly recommend that you not approve greater than a
10% allowance for compact car spaces if any at all considering that all the parking provided is
underground. Compact spaces are functionally incompatible with the type of vehicles used in
our mountain resort community and cause poor circulation and parking experiences for the
users in all structures that are constructed in this area.
Also important to note for parking under the hotel is the use of at least 25 'tandem/stacked
spaces' (See Floor Plans under Tab 4 of the Walker Parking Analysis dated November 10,
2005). The Town Code does not address stacked or tandem parking and this situation has
historically not been allowed on any commercial site, however, there should be consideration for
a limited allowance of tandem parking provided the valet management of that situation is
codified through the PUD approval and runs with the project in perpetuity.
Commercial Parking Proposal
With the exception of the commercial uses located on the ground floor of the timeshare west
building, the majority of commercial land uses will be located along the public plaza and in the
hotel building. The parking required for these uses will be located in the shared use parking of
the hotel. The applicant is proposing two standards for commercial uses; standard commercial
and incidental commercial. As proposed, the existing PUD and the proposed PUD have the

same standard with respect to the standard commercial uses (i.e., retail, office space).
However, the incidental commercial ratio is proposed at a much lower ratio (2:1000)
For the standard commercial uses, the applicant has proposed a higher ratio (5:1000) than
required by the Town Code (4:1000). For the restaurant use, the applicant's proposed
standard, which is a standard that applies to all commercial uses, is less than required by the
Town Code. However, the difference in the aggregate required commercial spaces appears too
be a wash. Because the square footage of the restaurant and retail space is not fixed, it is
difficult to determine the precise total required commercial parking spaces, but it is reasonable
to assume that of the commercial space proposed (20,000 square feet — 40,000 square feet) the
restaurant use would be a maximum of 20% of the commercial space required (4,000 square
feet), and therefore the variation in ratio for the restaurant use would be negligible given the
proposed increase in the standard commercial parking ratio.
The Incidental Commercial proposed parking ratio would apply to the spa and meeting
(conference) facility. There was specific discussion at the prior meeting regarding the use of the
spa and whether guests outside the resort would be permitted to use the facility. In the event
the spa is available for guests outside the resort, the Commission should consider whether the
proposed parking ratio (2:1000) is sufficient for this use. Likewise, staff has expressed concern
to the applicant that such a limited parking ratio for a meeting facility that could host small local
conferences or weddings could create a poor user experience. Staff would prefer to park both
the spa and meeting facility at the standard commercial ratio of 5:1000.
Timeshare Parking Proposal
There are two proposed timeshare buildings located on the east and west sides of the hotel.
The parking ratios proposed for this use are greater than the existing PUD by .3 spaces per unit
(two bedroom lock off unit), but less than required by the Town Code by .5 spaces per unit. The
analysis provided by the applicant and their consultant concludes, "that 1.5 spaces per unit
required is appropriate for timeshare parking." The report also indicates "national research data
for all rental—type residential units (including apartment) shows an average peak parking
demand ratio of 1.5 cars per two-bedroom:' The consultant assumes that the parking demand
for the Westin may actually be slightly lower given some guests may arrive at the resort using a
shuttle.
Under the proposed use configuration, the application seeks a variance from the Town Code of
approximately 56 spaces for the timeshare. Compared to the current PUD standard, the

analysis provided by the applicant and their consultant concludes, "that 1.5 spaces per unit
required is appropriate for timeshare parking." The report also indicates "national research data
for all rental—type residential units (including apartment) shows an average peak parking
demand ratio of 1.5 cars per two-bedroom:' The consultant assumes that the parking demand
for the Westin may actually be slightly lower given some guests may arrive at the resort using a
shuttle.
Under the proposed use configuration, the application seeks a variance from the Town Code of
approximately 56 spaces for the timeshare. Compared to the current PUD standard, the

variance is 90 spaces. Again, the Commission should consider that the ratio is capped with a
maximum of 1.5 spaces per unit maximum, so that a 3 bedroom unit is parked the same as a 2
bedroom unit.
Whole Ownership parking Proposal
The whole ownership portion of the development represents the largest variation in parking
when comparing the proposed PUD with the Town Code. The variation in most cases would be
approximately .7 spaces per unit, assuming all the whole ownership units are greater than one -

Under the proposed use configuration, the application seeks a variance from the Town Code of
approximately 126 spaces for the whole ownership portion of the project. Compared to the
current PUD standard, the variance is 136 spaces. Again, the Commission should consider that
the ratio is capped with a maximum of 1.2 spaces per unit maximum, so that a 2 or 3 bedroom
unit is parked the same as a 2 bedroom unit in the hotel.
Total Parking Summary
According to the current configuration proposed by the applicant and located in Tab 2 of the
Walker Parking Analysis, the total parking being provided for the Confluence is summarized as
follows:
Proposed PUD Application Total Parking of 601
Against Approved PUD Standards Total Parking of 752
Against Town Code Standards Total Parking of 839
Thus, the application represents a reduction in proposed parking to Town Code standards of
approximately 238 total spaces, and 151 total spaces against the existing Confluence PUD
standards. In percentages, this is a reduction of approximately 29% from existing Town Code
standards and approximately 20% from the existing and approved PUD standards.

Employee Housing
As previously reviewed, the existing PUD development agreement requires one employee
housing unit for every ten dwelling units created on site. This requirement was a product of
negotiation and standing inclusionary policy, not based on any well-defined Town housing plan
or regulation at the time.
The current proposal states that to satisfy the Town's need for employee housing, a pay in lieu
fee in the amount of approximately $600,000 (i.e. $20,000 for every 15 dwelling units
constructed, or an equivalent of approximately $1,300 per unit). Irrespective of the proposal,
the application should be reviewed in context of the Town's existing policies on.housing and
also in context of the type of project the Confluence represents - a catalyst for development of
the Town Core.
The Town's existing Comprehensive Plan supports affordable housing through a variety of
means, including: public and private efforts, upgrading existing affordable housing, and the
development of additional affordable housing on appropriate sites.
We do believe that a contribution and creation to a Town capital fund for employee housing can
further the long-term goals of the Town. However, the contribution of funding without a place of
'deployment' does not necessarily contribute to or alleviate the issue of employee housing
needs being generated by the development. Most recently, we have engaged in discussions
with Eagle County as they update their housing plans and policies and (potentially) enact
legislation that will require a percentage of inclusionary/employee housing for all project
approvals in the County. We have also discussed the potential to create a Housing Authority
that would be better able to coordinate and manage employee housing projects county -wide,
including the programs of the Towns.
The contribution of $600,000 (based on full build out) has no correlation to the average annual
estimate of Full Time Equivalent employees generated by the project - submitted by the
applicant as 211 (261 during peak season and 161 during shoulder season). As previously
discussed, it also bears no obvious correlation to the savings realized by the applicant in not
constructing on-site housing opportunities.
In response, however, the applicant has suggested that the project brings substantial public
benefit to the Town through other means (the gondola, riverfront park experience, the catalyst
for new development and redevelopment, etc.). Staff does not argue with this premise, however
we also recognize that this project will generate a certain amount of demand on employee
housing, either rental or ownership, that does not necessarily bear any correlation to the
proposed fee being dedicated.
We also recognize that the Confluence, as with any project reviewed or approved by the Town,
would need to find 211 housing opportunities to entirely 'close the gap' in theory and that this
solution is impractical and does not respect the economic and social benefits created by the
type of project proposed. As with any affordable housing policy or regulation, the 'benchmark'
of new housing which must be provided or otherwise accommodated by new development is a
function of public policy as well as proportionality. In Eagle County, a benchmark of 100%
would still not meet the needs of the Town or County as a result of past development approvals.
Combined with the lack of a clear written policy or regulatory instrument, this makes the subject
of employee housing difficult for staff to evaluate, as the end result will be a product of
negotiation and not necessarily based on clear direction.

That said and after much internal dialogue on the subject, staff remains unconvinced that the
existing. 10% dedication on-site is an unreasonable request, and the applicant should be
prepared to evidence to the Commission and Council why this cannot work.
Though we may not have solved the problems of the Town through our existing negotiated 10%
exaction, staff is very pleased with the historical results: mixed-use projects like Chapel Square
or Lot C that incorporate employee housing on-site add long-term community benefits to the
Town Core and diversify our housing stock. To that end, adding a slight increase to the total
allowable units is not an issue in staffs opinion if the desire of Town remains to have employee
housing mixed with the market housing on-site where employment is generated.
Should the Commission and Council agree with the applicant's position that employee housing
on site is not possible, guidance should be provided to the applicant as to the fee in lieu
dedication amount and timing that would be acceptable.
Water Rights
Staff has met with the applicant on several occasions to discuss the projected demand for water
and the necessity of the developer to provide the anticipated water. It is staff's expectation that
this analysis and the subsequent review by the Town's water attorney may not be complete
between now and the December 201" meeting. However, to ensure this item does not hold up
the PUD review process and is satisfactorily addressed by the applicant, staff will prepare a
condition requiring this item is resolved prior to the issuance of any building permit.
Topics for Next Meetings Review
Our subsequent meetings will review the PUD Development Plan and Development Standards,
Preliminary Subdivision comments, proposed conditions of approval recommended by staff and
any other areas you identify as requiring further discussion.
PUD Design Criteria
According to the Town of Avon Zoning Code, Section 17.20.110(h), it shall be the burden of the
applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply
with each of the following design criteria or demonstrate that one or more of them is not
applicable, or that a particular development solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that you review the areas outlined for discussion in this report, also reviewing
the applicants response to the discussion held at prior first meetings, and then motion to
continue the file to the regular meeting of the Commission on December 20, 2005, with
submittal of revised plans no later than December 6, 2005.
To continue to the next regular meeting of December 6, 2005 will not allow staff adequate time
to review the final development plan, the revised subdivision plan, or the revisions that may
result from your deliberation as a result of the holidays and the anticipated time it will take the
applicant to respond.

Re: The Confluence at Avon, Site Plan, Alternate L Study
The above submittal was reviewed for emergency vehicle access with the following
comments:
- Based on the number of stories of Buildings A, B, and C, the cul-de-sac
identified as the "RR crossing contingency" may need to accommodate the
turning requirements of the ladder truck. This will require verification with a site
plan submittal signed by an engineer.
- The round -about at Building D appears adequate for ladder truck access. It's my
understanding this building is greater than 3 stories in height.
- Accesses in front of Buildings E, F, and G have been previously reviewed and if
no changes are proposed, they appear to accommodate the ladder truck. Again,
this would need to be verified with a site plan submittal signed by an engineer.

Re: The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa
To: Avon Planning & Zoning Commissioners
I am sorry I will not be able to attend the hearing on Tuesday, November
15th. I have anxiously been awaiting this file. I wish this letter to be read
into the record and sent to the town council as well.
I received from East West Partners a conceptual plan of this project this
summer. I reviewed it and the application for amendment to the 1998 PUD
(Version A). I understand this might not be the most current version of the
application, but as it was the only one available it is what I used to prepare
my comments.
I have lived in Avon since 1991. I moved into Avon Crossing in 1996, as
one of the first residents, and I witnessed the construction of Canyon Run.
The town of Avon made a grave error in not requiring the applicant to
respect the river environment as a public amenity. I see the confluence PUD
as a renewed opportunity to not take anything for granted from the original
PUD approved in 1998 on this and other issues.
This site is a metaphor for much of the dual nature of Avon. Avon is both a
resort and a community; a beautiful natural environment and an urban
center and both of these dualities cross at the confluence. To me this
application must be reviewed to find the best balance between these
sometimes conflicting requirements.
I understand that the current design has somewhat evolved away from the
original concept of smaller, human scaled buildings on the western end of
the site (as depicted in the plans I have) to a larger condominium building of
greater height.
This change must be fully evaluated for its impacts. Is it better for the river
environment to have larger single buildings? Or more human scaled
dispersed buildings that allow the natural environment to blend and mix into
the built environment? One thing that Canyon Run did was to form a wall
along the river and I believe that was a mistake.
A central theme must be to preserve the natural attributes of the river
environment. I learned this from working with Mr. Frampton, the Vail Valley
Foundation and Eagle County on preserving 72 acres in Edwards along the
river. The Eagle River is a unique asset and one that should remain for
public enjoyment. It is even more special when river preserves are located
within urban communities.
The balance between community and resort is also central to this location
and should be central to this application. I recognize that the gondola and
the proximity of the transit center make this an ideal location for resort
amenities. I also recognize the efforts the developer has taken to preserve
the connection from the town center to both the gondola and the river, but I
think that more can be done.
The connection from the public plaza to the river seems tenuous and forced
and too urban. I believe that this connection should be a transition and
dissolve into the natural environment in much the same way that I feel the
townhome scheme was a better transition in.building scale.
I also feel that there should be some method to ensure the public nature of
this connection either in the form of an easement or other measure. A
permanent view corridor should also be identified to preserve the visual
connection from town center to Beaver Creek.
Another way that community and resort should be balanced, in my opinion,
is for there to be some measure of residents that can obtain and live
permanently on the site along with the resort guests. This applies to both
employee housing and to town citizens who wish to live on the river adjacent
to resort amenities. I am opposed to the proposed pay -in -lieu of
contribution to satisfy the employee housing requirement. The original, 1
unit per 10 dwelling units, is more appropriate.
I have been studying the numbers and predictions being generated by
NWCCOG and I am becoming increasingly concerned about these
predictions, which negatively affect the Job/Housing Ratio. There is no
question in my mind that we cannot continue to push this problem away and
into the future.
A project such as this is an ideal place to begin a new paradigm of
integration and community planning. I know that the Council has been
presented with the data I speak of, but I am not sure that the Commission
has seen this data. I would encourage the Commission to become familiar
with this data and for them to direct staff to evaluate the housing issue fully
before making a recommendation. Find impacts of Second Home study at
http://www.nwc.cog.co.us/Second°/a20Home%2OStudy/second home studyhtm).
Most importantly is that you see this a new beginning and the last
most important landuse decision for the Town of Avon. I would hope
that this file and its concerns such as housing, traffic, design,
community benefits, cost to serve, road impacts, and environmental
integrity are truly vexed.
Thank you for your service to our town,

i. EXHIBIT B
17.24.020 Off-street parking.
(a) General requirements.
(1) Location.
a. All parking spaces required to serve buildings or uses erected, established, altered or
enlarged after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this Chapter shall be located on the
same lot as the building or use served, except that up to forty percent (40%) of the parking spaces
required to serve industrial buildings or uses may be located within five hundred (500) feet of the
building or use served, or to serve commercial and residential buildings or uses may be located
within three hundred (300) feet of such building or use served, but only if such parking is
developed in accord with all the applicable district regulations. Off-site parking shall not be
located in such a location so as to require the user to cross a major barrier such as a street, river,
ditch, etc., in order to reach the use requiring the parking. Establishment of off-site parking shall
be a special review use.
b. Buildings or uses existing on the effective date of this Chapter which are subsequently
altered or enlarged so as to require the provision of parking spaces under this Chapter may be
served by parking facilities located on land other than the lot on which the building or use served is
located, provided such facilities are within five hundred (500) feet walking distance of a main
entrance to the use served for industrial uses and three hundred (300) feet for commercial uses.
c. Owners of property nonconforming as to parking requirements who elect to provide
additional parking may locate such parking on land other than the lot on which the building is
located, subject to the provisions listed immediately above.
d. Off-street parking spaces, including the adjacent area used for turning movements necessary
to enter or leave the parking spaces when open to the sky, may be located in any yard except the
front ten (10) feet of the required front yards, and unless otherwise specifically restricted by this
Chapter, Enclosed buildings and carports containing off-street parking shall be subject to the
applicable district yard requirements.
(2) Control of off-site parking facilities.
a. In cases where parking facilities are permitted on land other than the lot on which the
building or use served is located, such facilities shall be in the same possession as the lot occupied
by the building or use to which the parking facilities are accessory. Such possession shall be by
deed or lease, and such deed or lease shall be filed with the recorder of deeds of Eagle County.
b. If possession is by lease, the term of the lease shall be perpetual in nature running for the
duration of the use requiring the parking. Should the lease be terminated prior to the termination of
the use, the person operating the use shall provide evidence that all off-street parking requirements
are being met. Failure to do so shall classify the use as an illegal nonconforming use and
appropriate action shall be taken by the zoning administrator to terminate the use or bring it into
compliance with the requirements of this Chapter.
(3) Size and vertical clearance. All minimum requirements as to size, shape and design of
spaces, aisles and drives shall meet standard Town specifications. Such space shall have a
14
vertical clearance of at least seven and one-half (7.5) feet, a minimum width of nine (9) feet and a
depth of eighteen (1 S) feet for ninety degree (90°) parking. All spaces exposed to the weather shall be
marked with yellow striping at least once a year.
(4) Access. Except on lots accommodating single-family or duplex dwellings, each off-street
parking space shall open directly upon an aisle or driveway of a width of twenty-four (24) feet for
ninety -degree parking and design meeting standard Town specifications. All off-street parking
facilities shall be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to a street or alley in a manner
which will least interfere with traffic movement, and all such points of access must be approved by the
Town Engineer.
(5) Shared parking provisions.
a. Private facilities. Off-street parking facilities for separate uses may be provided collectively
if the total number of spaces so provided is not less than the sum of the separate requirements
governing location of accessory parking spaces in relation to the use served and adhered to.
Further, no parking space or portion thereof shall serve as a required space for more than one (1)
use unless otherwise authorized by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
b. Public facilities.
I. Where the Town has constructed or proposes to construct public off-street parking
facilities, the Town Council may, by resolution, establish a shared parking district within the
boundaries of an area set forth by the resolution. When such a shared parking district has been
established, all, or a part, of the private off-street parking spaces required within the parking
district may be provided by a public off-street parking facility located within said district.
Prior to property owners within the established parking district being allowed to so reduce the
number of private off-street parking spaces, such owners shall submit, and the Town Council
must approve, a parking and site development plan for the affected properties within the parking
district. Such plan shall show proposed development of the area and how the total number of
required off-street parking spaces will be provided by the use of public and private facilities. In
addition to an approved parking and site development plan, the Town Council may, as it deems
necessary and appropriate, require formal agreements with the property owners concerning land
dedications and easements, participation in construction and maintenance costs of the public
facilities and other related matters. Subsequent to formal execution of agreements and
availability of the parking facilities, property owners may reduce the number of private off-
street spaces required in accord with the approved parking and site development plan.
2. The total number of off-street parking spaces provided by the combined public and
private facilities within the shared parking district shall not be at any time less than the number
required by this Section.
(6) Reduction in parking requirements for mixed-use projects. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Subsection (c) hereof, the minimum parking requirement for a mixed-use project shall be determined
by the Planning and Zoning Commission as part of its review of any plan for development and shall be
calculated as follows:
Main level —5.5 spaces/ 1,000 square feet;
Additional levels, including basements— 4.0 spaces/1,000 square feet;
Residential — in accordance with Section 17.24.020(c)(1);
Provided, said minimum requirement may be reduced by a tactor of fifteen percent (15%) upon
determination by the Planning and Zoning Commission (as part of plan approval and not as a special
review use) that the following criteria are met:
a. No parking spaces are reserved for use (except by handicapped persons);
b. The mixed-use project will be served by the Town's bus system;
c. The mixed-use project is located within a TC, SC, RHDC or PUD zone district;
d. Adequate snow storage on site will be provided;
e. At least seventy-five (75) parking spaces are provided; if application of the reduction
formula results in the requirement of less than seventy-five (75) spaces, the minimum requirement
hereinabove provided shall govern and reduction will not be permitted.
Reductions in the number of required parking spaces for mixed-use projects shall not be made in
combination with a reduction made on a large single -use basis.
(7) Parking space size reduction for compact cars. Up to thirty percent (30%) of the total number
of parking spaces provided in covered or underground structures on lots containing twenty-five (25) or
more parking spaces may be reduced in size down to a minimum of eight (8) feet in width by sixteen
(16) feet in length for use by compact cars. Such spaces shall be clearly signed for compact cars only
and marked with double yellow striping.
(8) Reduction in parking requirements for large single -use projects. Minimum requirements for
large single -use projects shall be determined in accordance with Subsection (c) hereof. The minimum
parking requirements for commercial uses established by Subsection (c) hereof may be reduced by a
factor of fifteen percent (15%) in the case of large single -use projects upon determination by the
Planning and Zoning Commission (as part of its review of any plan for development but not as a
special review use) that the following criteria are met:
a. No parking spaces are reserved for use (except by handicapped persons);
b. The large single -use project will be served by the Town's bus system;
c. The large single -use project is located within a TC, SC, RHDC or PUD zone district;
d. Adequate snow storage on site will be provided;
e. At least seventy-five (75) parking spaces are provided; if application of the reduction
formula results in the requirement of less than seventy-five (75) spaces, the minimum requirement
hereinabove provided shall govem and reduction will not be permitted.
Reduction in the number of required parking spaces for large single -use projects shall not be made in
combination with a reduction made on a mixed-use basis.
(9) Computation. When determination of the number of off-street parking spaces required by
this Chapter results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction shall be counted as one (1)
parking space. Parking spaces required on an employee basis shall be based on the maximum number
of employees on duty and/or residing on the premises at any one (1) time.
(10) Utilization. Except as may additionally be provided for the parking of trucks and other large
vehicles, accessory off-street parking facilities provided in accord with the requirements of this
Chapter shall be solely for the parking of passenger motor vehicles of patrons, occupants, visitors or
employees of such uses.
(11) Design and maintenance.
a. Plan. Except for single-family and two-family residential uses, the design of parking lots or
areas shall meet standard Town specifications.
b. Character. Accessory parking spaces may be open to the sky or enclosed in a building.
c. Surfacing. All open, off-street parking areas shall be surfaced with asphaltic concrete,
concrete or other approved hard surface, which shall be constructed and maintained in accord with
specifications of the Engineering Department.
d. Drainage. All open off-street parking areas shall be graded and drained to dispose of surface
water accumulation in accord with standard Engineering Department practices.
e. Landscaping. All open vehicle parking areas containing more than six (6) parking spaces
shall contain at least five percent (5%) of the area in landscaping that blends in compatibly with
adjacent existing or proposed developments. Such landscaping shall be in keeping with the
character of the Town. Large lots containing more than thirty (30) parking spaces shall be
periodically broken with islands containing landscaping similar in character to that found
throughout the Town. Said landscaping shall be evenly spread throughout the parking area. The
area located outside the actual perimeter of the parking lot shall not be counted in the five percent

(1) Designation of exempt areas. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Town
Council by resolution may exempt designated areas from the off-street parking requirement of this
Chapter if alternative means will meet the off-street parking needs of all users in the arca. Prior to
exempting any area from the off-street parking requirement, the Town Council shall determine that the
exemption is in the interest of the area to be exempted and in the interest of the Town at large.
(2) Parking fund. There is established for the purpose of meeting the demand and requirements

transportation means in any area exempted from the off-street parking requirements; maintenance of
public parking facilities; payment of bonds or other indebtedness for parking facilities; and
administrative services relating to parking.
(3) Payment in lieu.
a. Application. An applicant for planning and zoning approval for a development plan in an
area exempted from the off-street parking requirements may seek a mitigation of the off-street
parking requirements via a payment in lieu. Such an application may be approved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission only if the applicant demonstrates that the parking needs of the residents,
customers, guests and employees of the project have been met, taking into account potential uses of
the parcel, the projected traffic generated by the project, how the project impacts on the parking of
the neighborhood, and the project's proximity to mass transit routes. The decision of the Planning
and Zoning Commission may be appealed to the Town Council.
b. Approval. Approval of an application for payment in lieu shall be at the discretion the
Town.
c. Fee. In all cases in which approval has been given for a payment in lieu of parking, the
applicant shall make a one-time only payment to the Town, in the amount of thirty thousand dollars
($30,000.00) per parking space. This fee shall be automatically adjusted on the first day of
January, annually, by the percentage the Consumer Price Index of the city of Denver has increased
over each successive year. The payment in lieu shall be due and payable at the time of the issuance
of a building permit. All funds collected shall be transferred by the Building Official to the
Finance Director, for deposit in the Town parking fund. (Ord. 04-12 §9; Ord. 99-05 §l; Ord. 91-16

Parking Analysis
Executive Summary
INTRODUCTION
The proposal for the Confluence site contains a number of unique resort -oriented land
uses with unique parking requirements. In order to arrive at a set of reasonable
requirements for these land uses the development team studied other resort projects,
compiled comparable parking requirements of other resort municipalities, performed an
in-house functional use analysis and commissioned Walker Parking Consultants to
provide a 3`d party expert assessment of the proposed parking requirements. These
studies and analyses are summarized below and detailed out in the sections that follow.
The result of these studies and analyses are the following proposed parking requirements:
Vacation Ownership parking is proposed to increase from 0.6 stalls per bedroom to 0.75
stalls per bedroom, with a maximum of 1.5 stalls per unit. Whole Ownership Residential
parking, including hotel condominium units larger than studios, is proposed to decrease
from 2.0 stalls per unit plus 0.5 stalls per additional bedroom in excess of 2 to a
requirement more appropriate for resort -oriented residential of 1.2 stalls per unit.
Standard Commercial parking is proposed to remain the same at 5.0 stalls per 1,000 sq.
ft., while a new requirement for Incidental Commercial within a hotel has been proposed
at 2.0 stalls per 1,000 sq. ft. In addition, because portions of the project will likely
feature a shared -use parking facility an additional development standard has been added
allowing for a 15% reduction in total parking required for any parking facility that
features shared -use parking, in accordance with the Avon Town Code.
Given these parking requirements, the design team recently developed a parking plan for
the hotel and timeshare. This plan is summarized below. Detail of the plan is provided
in Section 5.
WALKER PARKING CONSULTANTS ANALYSIS
Walker Parking Consultants' analysis can be found in Section 3 and is summarized as
follows:
■ Methodology:
o Start with a base ratio of stalls per unit or sq. ft. based upon national
averages data
o Adjust base ratio to reflect % of users who drive vs. those who arrive via
other methods of transportation ("mode split")
o Adjust base ratio further to reflect % of users who are already parked on-
site via another use ("captive rate")
o For shared use facilities - analyze shared use during the course of a peak
day to determine the peak parking requirement at the peak time of day
Timeshare / Vacation -Ownership:
o Based upon 113 2BR units
o Result: 168 stalls needed
o Equates to ratio of 1.49 stalls per unit
o Compares to proposed PUD requirement of 1.50 per unit
■ Hotel Building (including commercial):
o Based upon a development plan featuring shared -use parking and a mix of
land uses as follows:
➢ 114 Studio Rooms
➢ 2 1BRUnits
➢ 59 2BR Units (w/lock-off)
➢ 19 3BR Units (w/ lock -off)
➢ 22,195 sq. ft. of Standard Commercial
➢ 7,837 sq. ft. of Incidental Commercial
o Result: Peak parking need of 277 cars at 9:00p
o Compares to requirement of 287 cars under proposed PUD parking
requirements
■ Whole -Ownership Residential:
o Based upon a development plan of
➢ 40 2BR Condos
➢ 80 3BR Condos
o Result: 135 stalls needed
o Equates to a ratio of 1.125 stalls per unit
o Compares to proposed PUD requirement of 1.20 stalls per unit

The following draft memo contains Walker's preliminary shared parking analysis for the proposed
Confluence/Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa in Avon, Colorado. Please note that the parking demand
figures projected in this memo should be considered "ballpark" estimates only since the analysis is based
on conceptual buildout data that may change as the project evolves.
The client may want to commission a more thorough parking demand and management analysis prior to
completing design on the parking garage(s).
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
WALKER PARKING CONSULTANTS

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa is comprised of timeshare, hotel, commercial and whole
ownership residential land uses. The client provided a hypothetical development program for purposes
of conducting this analysis, as detailed in Table 1.
Table 1: Westin Riverfront Program Summary
JOU(Ce: Walker Yarking CA1)5UItant5, ZV W; based on data provided by UZ Architecture and Lost West Partners.
Parking for the whole ownership residential units will be provided in below -grade parking garages on the
western portion of the site. We anticipate that these garages will contain open parking intended for
condo owners, staff, and guests.
A larger garage will be constructed for the hotel, commercial, and timeshare components on the eastern
end of the site. The design team anticipates that this structure will include 2 levels of below -grade
parking. For this analysis, we assume parking for the timeshare guests is "reserved" separately within
this garage, but that the rest of the structure will be available on a shared use basis for hotel guests,
employees, and visitors utilizing the spa, restaurants, meeting space, retail, and offices.
The project developers have applied for a PUD Amendment which includes revised parking standards for
the site. Under the hypothetical development program provided by the developer, the proposed parking
standards would result in 170 timeshare stalls, 287 hotel/commercial shared use/valet stalls and 144
whole ownership residential stalls. Walker Parking Consultants has been retained to provide an
objective 3'd party analysis of the proposed parking requirements to determine whether the planned
parking supply will be sufficient to accommodate the planned land uses.

PARKING ANALYSIS — CONFLUENCE AT AVON PARKING CONSULTANTS

SHARED PARKING OVERVIEW
Generally, Walker Parking Consultants ("Walker") uses a ULI-style model for calculating shared -use
parking demand.' This methodology takes into account the number of cars generated by various land -
use components in a mixed-use development at different times of the day. Adjustments are built into the
model to reflect factors such as the hourly presence for various user groups (i.e., employees, visitors, etc.),
seasonal trends, mode split, and captive rate. The terms "mode split" and "captive rate" are discussed
below:
• Mode Split = the percentage of patrons or employees that arrive to the development via car
versus other forms of transportation such as taxi, shuttle, or the Colorado Mountain Express. Note
that areas with high transit usage will have a higher mode split adjustment. Also, rideshare
programs, transportation demand management strategies (such as pricing), and walk-in demand
are considered when determining the potential mode split.
• Captive Rate = the percentage of customers who may utilize a land use but are already parked
on-site for another primary demand generator. A classic example is a hotel population that is
already parked on-site but may visit the hotel restaurant for lunch or dinner.
For mixed-use developments, the shared use methodology is preferable over City/Town code
requirements, which tend to over-estimate parking demand by assuming that demand from all
components of a development peak at the same time. Also, code requirements rarely make allowances
for factors such as captive rate and mode split.
PROGRAM DATA AND ADJUSTMENTS
The sections below provide a breakdown of the hypothetical development program provided by the
client. Assumptions regarding the usage of the timeshares and the hotel "condotel" units are described in
the text and on the footnotes to the tables.
Timeshare
The hypothetical development program includes 113 two-bedroom timeshare units. These units will be
marketed as traditional timeshare condos where owners can purchase blocks of time for a single unit.
However, the timeshares will also be available with a lock -off option where each two-bedroom unit can
be converted into two one -bedroom units. The one bedroom lock -offs would also be available as part of
the timeshare ownership pool. The developer anticipates that on a typical vacation week, roughly half of
the units will be in use as two-bedroom condos while the other half will be in use as separate one -
bedroom units.
' Several of Walker's primary sources for the Shared Parking Model are as follows:
1 . ULI-the Urban Land Institute, "Shared Parking". Washington, DC . ULI-the Urban Land Institute, 1983.
2. Parking Generation, Third Edition. Washington DC: Institute of Transportation Engineers, 2004
3. Data collected by Walker Task Force members for the upcoming 2006 UU publication.

The existing Confluence PUD specifies that timeshares are parked at 0.6 stalls per bedroom (or 1.2
spaces per two-bedroom unit). The developer anticipates that parking needs for timeshare will be slightly
higher since each two-bedroom can potentially be sold and used as two units (possibly to two separate
fractional owners) rather than one unit to a single family. The PUD Amendment proposes a revised
requirement of 0.75 spaces per bedroom for timeshare or 1.5 spaces per 2BR unit.
Walker Comments:
Based on our assessment of the timeshare product, Walker concludes that the 1.5 spaces per unit
requirement is appropriate for timeshare parking. In total, the developer's revised PUD would result in
170 timeshare parking spaces given the hypothetical development plan:
• 113 units x 1.5/unit = 170 spaces
Timeshare units themselves are a unique product and therefore do not have much statistical research data
in publications such as ULI's Shared Parking and ITE's Parking Generation. However, national research
data for all rental -type residential units (including apartments) shows an average peak parking demand
ratio of 1.5 cars per two-bedroom. We assume that the Westin resort timeshare units will have a slightly
lower ratio of parking demand since some of the guests will arrive to the resort via shuttle. However, the
excess spaces should also be provided to accommodate employee parking, day visitors visiting timeshare
guests and timeshare guest groups who arrive in two cars.
A breakdown of Walker's projected parking needs for the timeshare units is provided below. We
anticipate that 170 spaces for the 113 timeshare units will be sufficient.

1. Transit data was provided by the planning team from a comparable resort project in Beaver Creek - this study was preformed by VRI Market
Research. Results showed that an average of 78.5% of resort visitors arrive via the airport and that 35% of these take a shuttle (vs. renting a car).
Based on this data we anticipate that a 0.275 mode split adjustment is appropriate (or 0.785 x 0.35). Assuming that the research data on the
Beaver creek resort is comparable io the Westin project, we have assumed that 72.5% of resort timeshare users arrive via car.
2. Assume that 0.15 surplus guest space is allowed for every occupied timeshare unit. Assume 169 occupied timeshares on a typical vacation week
(i.e., 50% in use as 2-bdr and 50% in use as two 1-bdrs).

Hotel & Commercial
The table below shows a breakdown of the hypothetical development program for the hotel, spa, and
auxiliary commercial uses. The developers proposed parking requirements in the PUD Amendment would
result in a parking requirement of 287 stalls. Note that the town code allows for a 15% reduction for
shared use. Additional justification for the hourly shared use and transit adjustments based on Walker's
model are outlined on the following pages.

As referenced in the footnote above, the hotel rooms are being developed as "condotels". These units
are a newer resort product that combines owner occupied condominiums with an investment option
where owners can enter their units into a hotel rental pool. These units are then rented out as hotel rooms
by the resort. The developer's hypothetical development program contains a mix of studio units, 1 -
bedroom units, 2 -bedroom units, and 3 -bedroom units. Studios and 1 -bedroom units can only be
occupied as one "key" while 2- and 3 -bedrooms can either be occupied as a whole unit (one key) or as
a condominium plus a lock -off hotel room (two keys).

Shared Use:
Tables 5 and 6 on the following pages show a full breakdown of the hotel & commercial land uses and
assumption concerning the base ratios, transit adjustments, mode split, and hourly presence factors. The
adjustments used for this model are based on the following general assumptions:
1. Base ratios are established per Walker's Shared Parking Model, 2005 and represent statistical
national average parking generation rates for each land uses type (at peak). For land uses such
as the timeshare sales office and brokerage office, we have applied a general "office" base ratio.
Likewise, for the ski shop we have used a typical ratio for "community retail". For nonconforming
land uses (such as the spa) we have applied the most comparable ratio available in our database
or from recent comparable studies
2. Mode Split adjustments have been applied per the assumptions discussed with the developer. A
0.72 transit adjustment has been applied for condominium and hotel guests per the Beaver Creek
research data (as referenced on table 2). A 0.50 transit adjustment has been applied for hotel
employees and hourly staff at the restaurant, spa, cafe, etc. Due to the project's location near a
bus line, we anticipate that many hourly employees are likely to utilize mass transit. This trend is
prevalent at many comparable resorts in the area. Some walk-in guest demand is also expected
for resort amenities for adjacent resorts and nearby residential areas (see footnote on table).
3. Non -Captive adjustments reflect the percentage of guests that may arrive from off-site to use the
spa, restaurant, and other resort amenities. Because of the large population of residents and
guests already parked on-site, we assume that destination traffic for these other land uses will be
minimal. Captive adjustments have been applied based on recent comparable studies at other
resort projects.
Note, that the "unadjusted demand" column represents the total number of vehicles that would be
generated if each land use were developed as a stand alone project with no access to transit and no

1. Mode split adjustments based on expected transit usage (the Eagle Valley Transit station is located near development) and walk-in guest
demand from adjacent resorts and residents (i.e., Western Town Ctr. Located just north of site). Nontapfive adjustments are applied based on
the expected usage of resort amenities by on-site guests.
2. Owner occupied 1 -bedroom and studio condominiums are parked at a base ratio of 1.00 per unit. Larger 2- and 3 -bedroom owner
occupied condominiums are parked at the ratio of 1.5 per unit (same as the timeshare ratio). All hotel keys in use by hotels guests will be
parked at 1.00 per key. Ratios are established per Walker's research on similar resort hotels, and condofel development.
3. Note that the employee presence has been calculated based on the total maximum key count of 280. We assume that basic hotel services
such as housekeeping and room service will be available regardless of whether the codotels are owner occupied or in use as hotel keys.
4. Hotel Meeting Space may generate up to 10.0 cars per 1,000 sf for a destination -type (i.e. local event) weekday meeting. However, since
the planned meeting space is very small compared to the number of guest rooms we anticipate that the usage of meeting spaces on a peak
evening will be minimal. (Conference and conventions will be more likely during the resort's off-season).

Table 6 below presents a more realistic scenario where demand for the various land uses fluctuates over
the course of the day. Hourly adjustments for this table have been applied per data in the Walker

Based on the hourly presence table, we anticipate that the hotel and commercial parking complex would
need to accommodate a minimum of 277 vehicles to accommodate the peak hour parking demand for

Table 7 on the following page shows an approximate breakdown of employee versus visitor parking
needs at a peak (evening) hour and an off-peak daytime hour. Assuming that employees will self -park,
the remaining 232 vehicles can be accommodated through self park, valet or some combination thereof.

Whole Ownership Residential
The following table shows Walker's total recommended parking allocations for the stand-alone resort
condominiums. The developer has proposed 1.2 stalls per unit, which results in 144 total stalls based
upon the hypothetical development plan. National averages for owner -occupied condominiums indicate
a total base demand of close to 1.7 spaces per unit regardless of bedrooms. However, research
provided by the developer indicates that similar resort condos at other properties tend to generate
vehicles at a lower rate due to the fact that the planned product will be used more frequently as a
vacation residence rather than a primary dwelling.
Based on this data, Walker has assigned a base ratio of 1.5 per unit for the 2 -bedroom and three-
bedroom condos, a 90% presence factor for the design day occupancy, and an adjustment for transit
usage (assuming that non -local condo owners, like the timeshare owners, will tend to arrive to via the
airport and taxi or shuttle). Walker recommends 135 spaces for the hypothetical whole ownership
residential development program, which equates to 1.125 stalls per unit.
