These recommendations are made in accordance with the Avon Development Code ("Development

Comprehensive Plan by strengthening the policy objectives related to achieving a diverse
range of housing types to serve all segments of the population;
2) The plan complies with the review criteria outlined in Section §7.16.030(e) of the
Development Code;
3) The proposed plan bolsters the purpose statements of the Development Code; Purpose (n):
"Achieve a diverse range of attainable housing which meets the housing needs created by jobs
in the Town, provides a range of housing types and price points to serve a complete range of
life stages and promotes a balanced, diverse and stable full time residential community which
is balanced with the visitor economy"; and
4) The proposed plan promotes the health, safety, and welfare of the Avon Community by
supporting working families and building a stable community with opportunities for families
and young professionals."
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS/COMMENTS:
1) Given the short 3 -year timeframe of the Plan, PZC recommends a narrow/lower AMI range
target.
2) Consider removing Right of First Refusal as a tool.
3) Consider adding rental assistance as a tool.
4) Add business outreach as an action step, and more language regarding business partners as
part of the solution.
5) Concern for "missing middle" and inability to recruit and retain early to mid -career
professional level staff.
6) Consider adding what the continuous funding source would be.
7) Concerned the Plan doesn't provide guidance for PZC when reviewing site specific
applications.
