FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager Avon
RE: Avon Downtown Development Authority Plan
DATE: June 1, 2023 c o I Q H A 1) o
SUMMARY: This report provides an overview of the Avon Downtown Development Authority Plan
document ("DDA Plan"). The DDA Statutes require the adoption of a DDA Plan before the DDA may
undertake a project. CRS §31-25-807(4)(a). "The planning board shall submit its written recommendations
with respect to the proposed plan of development to the governing body within thirty days after receipt of
the plan for review." CRS §31-25-807(4)(b). Attached to this report ("Attachment A") is the DDA Plan for
review and recommendation by PZC. PZC may elect to continue action to a future meeting if desired. If the
Avon DDA is formed, recommendations from PZC will ultimately be transmitted thereto.
PURPOSE: DDAs have a general purpose to promote the economic health of the commercial core area of
a municipality and alleviate or prevent conditions of blight. The proposed DDA Plan states that
development of Community Housing is the primary purpose, with at least 50% of the tax increment
financing revenue going towards Community Housing projects. Other projects include capital projects (e.g.
parking structures) that benefit the plan area and promote continued advancements in the community.
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION: The DDA Plan is being created early so that PZC, Avon Council, eligible
voters in the DDA boundary area, and other stakeholders have a better understanding of the purpose for
the DDA, process to form a DDA, and potential projects. Actual development projects will be reviewed by
the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission in the normal course of development application review under
the Avon Development Code.
REQUESTED ACTION: The June 6, 2023 meeting is scheduled as Public Hearing, and for PZC to provide
comments/recommendations pursuant to CRS §31-25-807(4)(b). Depending upon stakeholder interest and
areas of interest by PZC, review of the DDA Plan document may continue into July and early August for
revision and refinement. It would be helpful for eligible voters to have a DDA Plan document that is
recommended for approval by the PZC when ballots go out in early August for the planned August 29, 2023
Special Election. The DDA Plan will be published with other associated DDA formation documents here:
PROPOSED MOTION: "I move to recommend adoption of the DDA Plan [with or without modifications]
by the Avon Urban Renewal Authority."
ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Continue Public Hearing to future PZC Meeting.
Thank you, Eric

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Statutory Authority. Colorado statutes set forth the authority to organize Downtown
Development Authorities in C.R.S. §31-25-801 et. seq. ("DDA Statutes"). This Downtown
Development Authority Plan document ("DDA Plan") is intended to meet the requirements of the
Downtown Development Authority statutes to adopt a Plan document. This DDA Plan shall be
liberally construed to effect the purposes and objectives set forth in this DDA Plan. C.R.S. §32-
25-801(2) states:
The general assembly determines, finds, and declares that because of a number of
atypical factors and special conditions concerning downtown development unique to
each locality, the rule of strict construction shall have no application to this part 8, but it
shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes and objects for which it is intended.
1.2 Purpose. The legislative declaration is set forth in C.R.S. §31-25-801(a) states the purposes
as:
a Will serve a public use;
b. Will promote the health, safety, prosperity, security, and general welfare of the inhabitants
and people of this state;
a Will halt or prevent deterioration of property values or structures within central business
districts;
d Will halt or prevent the growth of blighted areas within such districts; and
a Will assist municipalities in the development and redevelopment of such districts and in the
overall planning to restore or provide the continuance of the health thereof; and
Will be of especial benefit to the property within he boundaries of the authority.
In particular and more specifically, the purpose of the Avon DDA includes development of Community
Housing in the Avon Downtown Area to provide additional workforce housing and to sustain and
enhance a critical mass of residents in the Avon Downtown Area necessary to support neighborhood
businesses and to support the public infrastructure and public facilities which sustain and enhance
the attractiveness of business investment in the Avon Downtown Area.

comment and recommendation by the Avon Finance Committee and outreach to Eligible Voters,
interested members of the public, affected taxing entities, and other stakeholders.
1.4 Eligible Voters. Eligible Voters include residents in the DDA boundaries who are registered to
vote in Colorado, property owners and business lessees, as defined in the DDA Statutes.
1.5 Governing Body. The governing body of the DDA is comprised of qualified persons who are
appointed by Council and as may be further defined in the Avon Downtown Development
Authority Chapter of the Avon Municipal Code.

2.0 AVON DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY BOUNDARY
2.1 Statutory Authorization. The DDA Statutes authorize the designation of a Downtown Area
within the Central Business District.
2.2 Boundary. The Boundary of the Avon DDA is depicted below and described more specifically
in Appendix A.

May 31, 2023 - DRAFT
Page 3 of 13
2.3 Analysis. The Benchmark Area was originally approved in the late 1970's and includes the East
Town Center and West Town Center commercial areas. The Village (at Avon) was approved in
1998. Interchanges on 1-70 were constructed for Avon Road and Post Boulevard. A majority of
parcels in the Benchmark Area have been developed, although there are numerous properties
which are underdeveloped in relationship to zoning and desired high-density mixed-use
development envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. The Village (at Avon) is partially
developed. The DDA Boundary area focuses on the area of Avon's central business district that
zones and envisions mixed-use development with high-density residential, accommodations,
neighborhood commercial and regional retail and services.
3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
3.1 Description of Area. The DDA Plan area includes 294.1 acres of land centrally located on the
valley floor, as properly described in Appendix A . The boundary is bordered to the West by
Lake Street and Harry A. Nottingham Park. The South boundary generally follows the Union
Pacific Railway except for Nottingham Station, a grouping of underdeveloped commercial
properties ripe for redevelopment. The North boundary generally follows Interstate 70, except
for Neighborhood Commercial zoned properties at the Avon Road Interchange, and Planning
Area J at the Post Boulevard Interchange.
Properties within the DDA Plan area are generally undeveloped or underdeveloped based on
existing entitlements and Comprehensive Plan documents. Circulation systems are mostly in

place. One notable exception is a future "North Road" to parallel East Beaver Creek Boulevard
through the undeveloped valley floor in the Village (at Avon). Realignment of Benchmark Road
from Roundabout 4 to connect with the Village (at Avon) road system is also a major effort
identified the Comprehensive Plan.
3.2 Village (at Avon).
Street Infrastructure. Major development within the Village (at Avon) between East Town
Center and Post Boulevard will require street extensions and a new "North Road" be
constructed. All dimensional road standards and triggers for construction are maintained in
the Village (at Avon) PUD.
b. Development Areas. The DDA Plan Boundary focuses on Planning Areas A, B, C, D, E,
and F in the valley floor, and Planning Area J on the north side of Interstate 70.
Planning Area A will add significant mixed-use development, effectively extending the Town
Center density further east. Planning Area A measures 43 acres and includes entitlements
for most residential and commercial land uses, including hospital use and hotel use with
increased building heights. Development is anticipated to be dense, with increased site
coverage and a more urban development pattern akin to the East and West Town Center
areas.
Planning Area 8 is Town owned, centrally located "Community Facility" parcel dependent
on adjacent planning and development activities. This 4 acre parcel is expected to
accommodate the needs of future residents and guest to the area, and is required to include
water storage and features. The boundaries of Planning Area B may be modified through
development and significant adjacent infill.
Planning Area C is another planned mixed-use area with 24 acres (before North Road
construction) of potential development between Interstate 70 and the planned linear park
system.
Planning Area D includes the balance of mixed-use valley floor development potential, with
14.4 acres. This area is zoned for 18 units per acre and also includes hotel and guest
accommodation possibilities, educational uses, and hospital uses.
Planning Area E is owned by the Town of Avon and is earmarked for educational uses.
Current plans include an early childcare facility with ancillary housing for educators. This
planning area is centrally located with adjacency to Post Boulevard.
Planning Area F includes the Piedmont apartments on the south half of the site. While
commercial uses are permitted, it is anticipated that with additional high density housing will
be developed here.
Planning Area J currently houses the Eagle County Paramedics facility. A 240 unit hotel
and gas station are under construction, with more planned development around Wagon Trail

Road and the Interstate 70 Interchange. Uses will be more commercial in nature, however,
Community Housing opportunities have been identified in this area.

Parks and Trails. A linear park ("P1") and path are planned to stretch from Post Boulevard
all the way to Planning Area B. Additionally, a pocket park is located between Home Depot
and Wal-Mart. Connectivity of private development to local and regional trail systems will be
an integral part of infill development.
d. Early Childhood Education. Plans for an Avon -based early childcare education facility are
planned for Planning Area E. This facility would be a first of its kind in Avon public-private
partnership, including Community Housing for educators on-site.
e. Parking Structure. Parking structure(s) development is anticipated, especially in Planning
Area A where density and site coverage will necessitate facilities.
f. Development Entitlements. The Village (at Avon) PUD and Development Plan contains
full vesting until October 20, 2039, with a total of 825,000 sq. ft. of Commercial Uses and
2,400 Dwelling Units. Portions of the Village (at Avon) may develop additional commercial
square footage and density. At least 500 of the dwelling units must meet employee housing
definitions, comparable to Community Housing definition herein.

3.3 East Avon. This East Avon area is largely characterized as "suburban" development with mostly
1-2 story buildings surrounded by large surface parking. The lot layout is inconsistent, and street
network is inadequate for the planned redevelopment. This area is poised for redevelopment of
underutilized parcels. Primary redevelopment will include the realignment of Benchmark Road
from Roundabout 4 to the connection with the Village (at Avon), infill Community Housing, and
supporting commercial uses in a more walkable layout. A parking facility or multiple smaller
facilities will likely replace the expansive surface parking that currently exists.
3.4 West Avon. The West Avon district contains a mix of high-density mixed-use development.
Notable infill parcels include Lot B and Lot 3. A Parking Structure will likely be necessitated with
planned growth in the area, with proximity to park, gondola, and all commercial uses in the Town
Core. Sun Road can be viewed as one of the most underdeveloped set of four "Town Center"
zoned parcels. Finishing the Main Street Pedestrian Mall and connecting with Harry A.
Nottingham Park has been identified in the Comprehensive Plan as a top priority.
3.5 Nottingham Station. This area contains one story shops and a fast-food operator. Additional
development and/or redevelopment is expected given the location to essential services and
other guest services, including the Riverfront Gondola.
3.6 Northside Commercial. The Northside area includes two gas stations, a tire/lube shop, and
two vacant properties. Neighborhood Commercial ("NU) Zoning accommodates an influx of
Community Housing potential, with other supporting commercial activities.
3.7 Blight Conditions. Avon has identified numerous conditions in the DDA Plan area that meet the
character and conditions meeting the definition of Blighted Area per C.R.S. §31-25-802:
"Blighted area" means an area within the central business district which, by reason of the
presence of a substantial number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, predominance
of defective or inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy,
accessibility, or usefulness, unsanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other
improvements, unusual topography, defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title
nonmarketable, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and
other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially impairs or arrests the sound
growth of the central business district, retards the provision of housing accommodations, or
constitutes an economic or social liability and is a menace to the public health, safety,
morals, or welfare in its present condition and use.
Attachment C to this DDA Plan documents several occurrences of deteriorated structures,
inadequate street layout, unsafe intersections, inadequate vehicular and pedestrian access, and
faulty lot layouts.
4.0 RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. This DDA Plan is intended to promote and support
specific projects and related private projects and investment which are compatible with the
Comprehensive Plan, and each of the sub -plans of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive
Plan and each of its sub -plans shall be considered, especially the Avon Community Housing Plan.
Avon Downtown Development Authority Plan
May 31, 2023 - DRAFT
Page 7 of 13
5.0 PLAN OBJECTIVES
5.1 Introduction. The DDA Plan is intended to sustain and enhance the long-term commercial
health of Downtown Avon by increasing Community Housing and funding public infrastructure
and facilities which promote business investment. Mixed -Use developments and integration of
Community Housing into the Commercial Core will promote a walkable, pedestrian friendly and
transit oriented built environment that will create desirable neighborhoods while implementing
climate action strategies. A critical mass of full-time residents will support and sustain
neighborhood businesses, which in turn will increase the uniqueness and attractiveness of Avon
as a destination for visitors. The combination of commercial and residential uses will further
promote development and redevelopment of the entire Downtown as an urban "neighborhood"
with retail, business, lodging, residential, civic, cultural and public elements while physically
connecting existing uses and improving circulation among multiple forms of transportation.
5.2 Community Housing. Current zoning in Benchmark portion of Downtown Avon allows for
redevelopment with an estimated 750-1500 residential units, depending upon the mix of
commercial units. Current entitlements in the Village (at Avon) portion of Downtown Avon allows
for development with an estimated 800 to 1,400 additional residential units, depending upon the
mix of accommodations development. The Avon Community Housing Plan states a goal to
maintain full-time residential use in at least 50% of Avon's residential development. The number
of Community Housing residential units in Downtown Avon required to meet this goal in the Avon
Community Housing Plan at full build -out may range from 775 to 1,450 total units. Another
objective is to provide adequate workforce housing to meet the needs of employers in Avon.
The Eagle County Climate Action Collaborative Plan states a goal to construct workforce housing
within five miles of job locations. The Town of Avon's Downtown Area is uniquely within 5 miles
of the accommodation and commercial cores of Avon, Beaver Creek/Bachelor Gulch, and
Edwards and within nine miles of the Town of Vail's commercial and accommodation areas.
Avon's Downtown Area is served by the Town of Avon's fare free bus transit and is centrally
located within the Eagle Valley Transportation Authority fare free zone for expanded bus transit.
5.3 Public Infrastructure and Facilities. The development of a high-density, mixed-use urban
Downtown Area will require significant investment in public infrastructure and facilities. Public
infrastructure investment will be particularly important for parking structures and street
realignment associated with redevelopment of East Avon and the Sun Road Sub -Area District.
Investment in public facilities which serve an expanding residential population as well as
supports Avon's visitor economy may include expansion of the Avon Recreation Center,
development of the Planning Area B (Park and Lake area) in the Village (at Avon), and
development of recreational trail connections. Support for early childhood educational facilities
will also enhance the attractiveness of the Downtown Area as a desirable place for workforce
living.
6.0 POTENTIAL PROJECTS. The potential projects listed in this section is not intended to be an
exhaustive, exclusive or definitive list; rather, all viable projects which advance the purpose and
objectives of the DDA Plan should be considered for support by the DDA Board. This list provides
a short overview of current ideas on projects that may benefit from financial support from a DDA.
Avon Downtown Development Authority Plan
May 31, 2023 - DRAFT
Page 8 of 13
6.1 Community Housing. There is a severe shortage of workforce housing. Community Housing
projects are a priority focus of the DDA Plan. 50% of the funding of the DDA revenues over the
life of the DDA shall be allocated to support the development of new Community Housing,
acquisition of deed restrictions on existing residential stock, or other programs and strategies to
increase workforce housing in the Downtown Area.
6.2 Parking Structures. Public parking structures are desired to serve a growing population and
increased visitor base. Possible locations for parking structures include the Avon Recreation
Center parking lot, Lot B [insert subdivision name], the Sun Road Sub -District Area, East Avon in
coordination with redevelopment, and the Village (at Avon) in Planning Area A in coordination
with a large scale hotel development.
6.3 Streets and Utilities. Street and utilities projects may include any street and utility extension, or
upgrade required for a Community Housing project; realignment of the street route between
Round -About 4 and the entrance to the Village (at Avon) adjacent to Chapel Square (comprised
of East Benchmark Road, a portion of Beaver Creek Place, and Chapel Place); and, realignment
or redevelopment of Sun Road.
6.4 Parks and Trails. The Village (at Avon) includes the dedication of Planning Area B, which is a
four acre park property that is the probable location for a small lake as described in the CARADA.
Planning Area B is intended to be coordinated and integrated with the development of Planning
Area A and the final location is likely to change based on development configuration and block
platting for Planning Area A in the Village (at Avon). An interior recreation trail is planned to
connect Post Blvd to Planning Area B.
6.5 Public Facilities. Public facilities may include expansion of the Avon Recreation Center and
construction of an early childhood education center.
7.0 PROJECT FINANCING
7.1 Public Investment Objective. It is the intent of Council and the DDA Board that the public
sector play a significant role in revitalization efforts as a strategic partner. However, experience
has proven that a critical component to the success of any revitalization strategy is participation
by both the public and private sector. Leveraging of resources will be key as no one entity, either
public or private, has sufficient resources alone to sustain a long-term improvement effort.
7.2 Authorization. The DDA Board may approve financing this DDA Plan by any method authorized
under the DDA Statutes or any other applicable law, including without limitations, the following:
issuance of notes and bonds in an amount sufficient to financing all or part of this DDA Plan;
borrowing of funds and creation of indebtedness; advancement and reimbursement agreements;
federal or state loans or grants; interest income; annual appropriation agreements; agreements
with public or private entities; and loans, advances and grants for any other available sources.
The principal, interest, costs and fees on any indebtedness are to be paid for with any lawfully
available funds of the Authority.

7.3 Project Revenues
Tax Increment Financing. The primary method of financing this DDA Plan is expected to be
the use of property tax increments as authorized by the DDA Statutes. The property tax
increments will be collected, divided, distributed, utilized and in all other ways administered
as set forth in the DDA Statutes.
b. Funding Agreements. The Town and DDA Board may enter into agreements with other
public bodies and private parties to provide financial assistance in support of development
projects consistent with this Plan as may be more fully set forth in the provisions of such
agreements. Existing agreements between the Town and private parties that are consistent
with this DDA Plan are intended to remain in full force and effect.
Confluence Metropolitan District, Avon Station Metropolitan District, Village Metropolitan
Districts. The Town has entered into an intergovernmental agreement dated ,
2023 with Avon Station Metropolitan District, Confluence Metropolitan Districts, and Village
Metropolitan Districts ("District IGAs"). Pursuant to the District IGAs, the DDA Board shall
remit to the Districts any tax increment receipts resulting from real property taxes and
specific ownership taxes from property within the boundaries of the Districts as of the date
of the District IGA, other than Lot B of the Avon Station Metropolitan District (as described
in the District IGAs), that would otherwise be payable to the Districts, except for any
incremental real property taxes or specific ownership taxes generated by an increase in the
total number of permitted dwelling unites or commercial square footage in the zoning
entitlements existing as of the date of the District IGAs. The Town shall continue to remit
such receipts, if any, to the Confluence Metropolitan District and Avon Station Metropolitan
Districts until December 31, 2047. [NOTE: This section needs more legal review]
7.4 Financing Mechanisms and Structures. The Plan is designed to provide for the use of tax
increment financing as one tool to facilitate investment and reinvestment within the Area. The
Authority is committed to making a variety of strategies and mechanisms available which are
financial, physical, market and organizational in nature. It is the intent of the Town Council and
the Authority to use the tools either independently or in various combinations. Given the
obstacles associated with infill development, the Authority recognizes that it is imperative that
solutions and resources be put in place that re comprehensive, flexible and creative. Such
resources may include, without limitation, special districts and improvement districts approved
by the Town Council.
8.0 PROJECT APPROVAL PROCESS. Projects which are proposed to be financed in whole or in part
with DDA tax increment financing sources shall be reviewed by the DDA Board to determine if such
project advances the purposes and objectives in this DDA Plan. The DDA Board shall conduct such
work sessions as are appropriate. Projects be subject to: review and recommendation by the Avon
Planning and Zoning Commission as set forth in the Avon Development Code; review, comment and
recommendation by the Avon Financing Committee; and review and concurring approval by Council.
The DDA Board, Avon Planning and Zoning Commission, Avon Finance Committee and Council
shall each conduct a public hearing prior to taking final action or providing a recommendation.

DDA Plan may be amended at any time. If amended after the lease or sale by the DDA of real
property in the DDA Boundary Area, such modification shall be subject to such rights at law or
in equity as a lessee or purchaser or his successor in interest may be entitled to assert. The
DDA Board or the Avon Town Council may initiate amendments to the DDA Plan. Proposed
amendments shall be referred to the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission and the Avon
Finance Committee for review, comment, and recommendation. The DDA Board shall consider
the comments and recommendations of the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission before
taking action on the DDA Plan document. The DDA Board, Avon Planning and Zoning
Commission, Avon Finance Committee, and Avon Town Council shall each conduct at least one
public hearing before taking action on a proposed amendment to the DDA Plan.

conditions within the Downtown Development Authority boundary; local, state or national
economic changes which may impact the DDA Plan; and whether the proposed amendments to
the DDA Plan may improve achieving the purpose of the DDA Plan and implementation of DDA
Plan Objectives.
9.4 Adoption. Amendment to the DDA Plan shall be adopted by a Resolution of the DDA Board and
the Avon Town Council.
10.0 MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Cooperation Agreements. For the purposes of implementing this Plan, the Authority may enter

Downtown Development Authority
Blight Study / Inventory
2023
This document presents the general conditions for the Avon Downtown Development Authority ("DDA")
Blight Study ("Study"). Community Development observed these conditions in the DDA boundary area in
April, 2023.
This Study aims to establish the existing conditions of the DDA area currently exhibiting degrading physical,
environmental, and social factors. For purposes of this Study, the definition of blight is as follows:
"Blighted area"means an area within the central business district which, byreason ofthe presence
ofa substantial number of deteriorated ordeteriorating structures, predominance of defective or
inadequate streetlayout, faultylotlayoutin relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, orusefulness,
unsanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration ofsite orotherimprovements, unusual topography,
defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title nonmarketable, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of
such factors, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the central business district,
retards the provision of housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability
and is a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use.
Blight determination is based upon an area "taken as a whole," not on a building -by -building basis.
Deteriorated or deteriorating structures
,�, ,ow"
Obvious indications of disrepair and deterioration to the exterior of a structure include: Primary Elements (exterior walls,
visible foundation, rood Secondary Elements (fascia / soffits, gutters / downspouts, windows / doors, fagade finishes,
loading docks, etc.) Ancillary Structures ( detached garages, storage buildings, etc.)
Redominance of defective or inadequate street layout
The presence of this factor is determined through a combination of both field observation as well as an analysis of the
existing transportation network and vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns. These conditions include:
• Inadequate Street Cross - Sections, or Geometries,
• Poor or Unsafe Conditions for the Flow of Vehicular Traffic
• Poor Provisions or Unsafe Conditions for Pedestrian Flow
• Insufficient Roadway Capacity Leading to Congestion of
Traffic
• Inadequate Emergency Vehicle Access
• Poor Vehicular/ Pedestrian Access to Buildings or Sites
• Poor Internal Vehicular/Pedestrian Circulation
• Excessive Curb Cuts/ Driveways in CommercialAreas
These conditions can affect the adequacy or performance of the transportation system.
Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness.
This factor requires an analysis of the parcels as to their potential and usefulness as developable sites. Conditions indicative of
the presence of this factor include:
• Lots that are Long, Narrow, or Irregularly Shaped
• Lots that are Inadequate in Size
• Lots with Layouts or Configurations that are Obsolete or
Impractical
Unsanitary or unsafe conditions
This factor requires an analysis of the parcels
as to their potential and usefulness as
developable sites. Conditions indicative of the
presence of this factor include:
• Inadequate Storm Drainage Systems /
Evidence of Standing Water
• Open Trash Dumpsters
• Severely Cracked, Sloped, Uneven
Surfaces, or a Disconnection or a Lack of
Pathways for Pedestrians
These represent situations in which the
safety of individuals, especially pedestrians
and children, may be compromised due
to environmental and physical conditions
considered to be unsanitary or unsafe.
• Lots with Layouts or Configurations that Result in Stagnant,
Misused, or
• Unused Land
Deterioration of site or other improvements
Conditions that apply reflect the deterioration of various improvements made on a site other than building structures. These
conditions may represent a lack of general maintenance at a site, the physical degradation of specific improvements, or an
improvement that was poorly planned or constructed. Overall, the presence of these conditions can reduce a site's usefulness
and desirability and negatively affect nearby properties.
• Neglected Properties or Evidence of General Site Maintenance • Deterioration of On -Site Parking Surfaces, Curb & Gutter, or
Problems Sidewalks
• Deteriorated Fences, Walls, or Gates • Poor Parking Lot /Driveway Layout
Unusual topography
The focus of this factor is on the presence of unusual topographical conditions that
could make development prohibitive, such as steep slopes or poor load- bearing
soils, as well as deficiencies in the public infrastructure system within the Survey
Area that could include:
• Steep Slopes /Rock Outcroppings / Poor Load - Bearing Soils
• Deteriorated Public Infrastructure (street /alley pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalks, street
lighting, storm drainage systems)
• Lack of Public Infrastructure (same as above)
• Presence of Overhead Utilities
• Inadequate Fire Protection Facilities /Hydrants
Defective or unusual conditions of title rendering the title nonmarketable
✓r _. _ 1
NO
Certain properties can be difficult to market or redevelop if they have overly restrictive or prohibitive clauses in their deeds or titles, or if
they involve an unusually complex or highly divided ownership arrangement. Examples include:
• Properties with Disputed or Defective Title
• Multiplicity of Ownership Making Assemblages of Land Difficult or Impossible
Existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes
This factor can result from the presence of the following conditions, which include both the deterioration of physical improvements that
can lead to dangerous situations as well as the inability for emergency personnel or equipment to provide services to a site:
• Old, Wooden Buildings Comprised of Highly Combustible Materials Adjacent to Mature Vegetation
• Buildings or Sites Inaccessible to Fire and Emergency Vehicles
•
Blocked/ Poorly Maintained Fire and Emergency Access Routes
• Insufficient Fire and Emergency Vehicle Turning Radii
• Buildings or Properties not in Compliance with Fire Codes, Building Codes, or Environmental Regulations
• Buildings with Deteriorated Elements that Create Unsafe Conditions
• Buildings with Inadequate or Improperly Installed Utility Components
