TOWN OF AVON, COLORADO
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 11-12
SERIES OF 2011
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE AVON TOWN COUNCIL INITIATE
AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 7 OF THE AVON MUNICIPAL CODE, SECTION 7.16.080,
DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND TABLE 7.16-1, DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES AND
REVIEW AUTHORITY, CONCERNING THE TOWN COUNCIL REVIEW OF TOWN CORE
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PLANS
WHEREAS, the Town Council adopted the Avon Development Code (ADC) requiring Town
Council approval for Major Development Plans located in the Town Core; and
WHEREAS, Table 7.16-1, Development Review Procedures and Review Authority, and Section
7.16.080(e)(1) specify that "...The Town Council shall render the final decision on a major development
plan within the Town Core"; and
WHEREAS, the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission is appointed to serve as the design review
board for the Town of Avon in accordance with Section 7.12.040(a)(5), ADC; and
WHEREAS, the PZC finds that the addition of the Town Council review in the Town Core would
create an undue burden on an applicant to submit to two separate design review processes and review
bodies; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council may appeal any design review decision by the PZC pursuant to
Section 7.16.160, Appeal, ADC; and
WHEREAS, the inclusion of the Town Council in the design review process may marginalize the
PZC's duty as the design review board; and
WHEREAS, the proposed changes meet the Review Criteria outlined in section 7.16.040, Code Text
Amendments.
WHEREAS, the removal of Town Council review of major development plans in the Town Core
will encourage development of vacant parcels in the Town Core; and,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby
recommends that the Town Council of the Town of Avon initiate a Code Text Amendment to Section
7.16.080, Development Plan, & Table 7.16-1, Development Review Procedures and Review Authority, to
remove the Town Council authority to render the final decision on major development plans in the Town
Core.
ADOPTED THIS 20th DAY OF DECEMBER, 2011.
