TO: Planning and Zoning Commission A FROM: Jena Skinner, AICP, Planning Manager Avon RE: TMP24001 - PUBLIC HEARING - Quicksand Tattoo DATE: January 26, 2024 C o L 0 R A o 0 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Before PZC, there is a request for a Temporary Use Permit to allow the continuance of a tattoo business operating on the third floor of an existing commercial building addressed at 331 Metcalf Road. Jeff Maus, the owner of DBA Quicksand Tattoo LLC, has been operating a tattoo business in Avon without realizing that this use was not allowable as a permitted use or use available by Special Use Review within the existing Light Industrial & Commercial (IC) zoning. This oversight was discovered when applying for a business license, not through a citizen generated Code Enforcement complaint. The business is via appointment only and does not operate in a retail capacity. More importantly, people do not discover this business or seek consultation by walking off the street. Had Jeff not attempted to obtain a business license, Staff may not have learned that this use was in operation. Proposed Use Request: Continued use of an appointment -only, "destination" tattoo establishment. Operational details of this use are attached to this report as Attachment A that includes general hours of operation, parking needs, and future business plans. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The subject property is located at 331 Metcalf Rd. It is within a long-standing commercial complex, that houses a variety of uses including vehicle repair, the Vail Valley Soccer Club, White River Electric, property management companies, and more. As mentioned, this use is located on the third floor of building 2. Vicinity Subject Building (2A) at the Avon Business Service Center Entrance to the Property as seen from Metcalf Road DISCUSSION: Tattoo parlors are permitted in other Commercial and Mixed -Use zone districts within the Town including Mixed-use Commercial (MC), Town Center (TC), and Shopping Center (SC- Retired). Staff feels that this use is appropriate within IC and would prefer this use actually not be located within Town Center as it does not generate sale tax revenue, nor is it a use that benefits a more retail or hospitality environment (at 970-748-4413 jskinner@avon.org least not on the first level). Staff hypothesizes that when zoning was applied to this area of Avon, it was indeed more an industrial environment versus what it is today. Staff will be looking to update zoning uses as found within Avon's Table of Allowed Uses in 2024, and feels that this use should be expanded into the IC zone district as it is an appropriate use for this area. PROCESS: Avon Municipal Code ("AMC") Temporary Use Permits lasting over 30 days require a public hearing and PZC decision. PZC can approve Temporary Use applications for up to three (3) years, subject to renewal with a subsequent public hearing. Appeals go to the Avon Town Council. Applications for temporary use permits may be initiated by the owner or lessee of the property for which a temporary use or structure is desired. A temporary use permit may be extended or renewed by applying for a new temporary use permit in accordance with the procedures and review criteria of the applicable Section. A temporary use permit may be issued for any use not allowed as a use by right, or as an accessory use or special review use in the applicable zone district where temporary use is proposed. In examining the proposed business, Staff recommended (to the applicant) obtain a Temporary Use Permit for this business. Recent conversations at both a Staff level and with the PZC centered around looking at the current Use Table to see if the uses therein were still relevant, and "modern" in 2024. Staff anticipates that having a 3 -year approval would accommodate sufficient time to update Title 7 as previously contemplated while permitting the business to continue until the Avon Municipal Code is modified. This would also permit this business owner to obtain a business license in the interim. PUBLIC NOTICE: A notice was published in the Vail Daily preceding the initial public hearing date (January 18, 2024). Per the Temporary Use Permit section, real property owners within 300' of the activity were to be notified prior to hearing. Mailed Notice went out January 23, 2024. No public comments have been received on this application. PLANNING ANALYSIS: The PZC shall use the following review criteria as the basis for recommendations and decisions on applications for a Temporary Use Permit: REVIEW CRITERIA: Undesignated uses and activities are classified as requiring a Temporary Use Permit when the activity is not related to a building permit on the subject lot. The following review criteria per AMC §7.24.080 - Temporary Uses and Structures serve as the basis for a decision on the application. 1. The temporary use or structure shall not cause unreasonable negative impacts to properties, residents, business or public uses in the vicinity, which cannot be mitigated through the imposition of conditions on such temporary use or structure. Such negative impacts to consider include, but are not limited to: visual, noise, vibration, trash, hours of operation, traffic congestion, parking, safety, soil and vegetation disturbance, natural resource impacts and reasonable expectations of enjoyment of property based upon zone district designations and community planning documents; Staff Response: This use is contained within an existing building and does not generate any impacts to neighboring properties any more or less than an office use would. As this is a "destination" business that has 2 -dedicated parking spots for clients, Staff does not have any concerns with traffic or parking at this location. TMP24001 —Temporary Use Permit February 2, 2024 Page 2 of 7 Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas, electricity, police and fire protection, roads and transportation, as applicable) will be available to serve the proposed temporary use or structure while maintaining adequate levels of service for existing development; Staff Response: The site is accessible and served by all applicable services. 3. The temporary use shall comply with all applicable general and specific regulations of this Section, other Town ordinances, and state and federal law unless otherwise expressly stated; Staff Response: All regulations must be adhered to, and some notable regulations are cited in the recommended conditions of approval for clarity. Notably, this business operator will need a business license. There are no significant licenses needed from the State for this use. The applicant has demonstrated that he or she possesses the requisite skills and experience to ensure that the particular activity will be conducted in a safe and orderly manner; Staff Response: The business owner has the very specialized skills and experience for this type of business. 5. The temporary use or structure is not of a nature that will become impractical to cease or remove over time; Staff Response: There are no concerns with these uses becoming impractical to cease or remove. The goal of Staff is to add this use as an allowable/permitted use to this particular zone district, as it is a use that is compatible and appropriate within the IC zone district in 2024. Adequate plans or sureties are proposed to guarantee restoration of the property after the temporary use or structure ceases; Staff Response: This criterion is not applicable for this use. All temporary signs associated with the temporary use or structure shall be properly permitted pursuant to Chapter 15.28, Sign Code, and removed when the activity ends or permit expires, whichever occurs first; Staff Response: This business does not currently have any signage, outside of a sticker found on the door to this 3rd floor unit. Any future (applicable) signs for this business will necessitate a Sign Permit, per AMC §7.34.010 Sign Code. 8. The temporary use or structure shall not violate any applicable conditions of approval that apply to a principal use on the site; Staff Response: This criterion is not applicable for this use. The temporary use regulations of this Section do not exempt the applicant or operator from any other required permits, such as food service or building permits; Staff Response: Agreed. All necessary licensing shall be obtained in addition to this Permit. TMP24001 —Temporary Use Permit February 2, 2024 Page 3 of 7 10. The temporary use or structure, including any associated parking and traffic circulation, shall not disturb sensitive or protected resources, including required buffers, one -hundred -year floodplains and required landscaping, and the applicant shall agree to restore all disturbed areas of the site to the condition that existed prior to the temporary use or structure; Staff Response: This criterion is not applicable for this use, as traffic is limited, and sufficient parking has been provided. 11. Tents and other temporary structures shall be located so as not to interfere with the normal operations of any permanent use located on the property, shall be anchored and meet the requirements of the Building Official, including fire rating; Staff Response: This criterion is not applicable for this use. 12. Off-street parking shall be adequate to accommodate the proposed temporary use or an acceptable parking plan shall be approved with the temporary use or structure; Staff Response: Off-street parking is sufficient for this use. 13. The temporary use will not result in excessive demands for police, ambulance, fire or other essential public services which may negatively impact the capacity of existing public services to meet existing public service demands or the applicant agrees to mitigate the increased demands for public services; Staff Response: There are no increased demands on public services with this proposal. 14. The size, nature or location of the temporary use or structure is not reasonably likely to cause a clear and present danger of injury to persons and property; Staff Response: This criterion is not applicable for this use, as the business is contained within an existing structure that has been previously vetted and approved to be constructed. 15. Another temporary use permit application has not been received prior in time or has already been approved for the same time and place requested by the applicant or so close in time and place to that required by the applicant that the issuance of both permits would cause undue traffic congestion; Staff Response: This criterion is not applicable for this use. 16. The location of the temporary use or structure will not substantially interfere with any construction or maintenance work scheduled to take place upon Town streets; and Staff Response: This criterion is not applicable for this use. 17. The temporary use or structure shall be for a duration which is appropriate considering the location, use, planned development and activities in the vicinity and impact on nearby properties; however, in no event shall a temporary use be granted for more than three (3) years. Staff Response: No impact is expected for adjacent properties.

Avon Town Council ("Council') has declared Community Housing as the number one priority for the Town of Avon and has directed Staff to explore and pursue every possible opportunity for Community Housing projects. This is the second time the Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") will review this application, as it has changed since the PZC first evaluated and recommended approval to Town Council. During First Reading of this Ordinance in October, the Council felt that rezoning the Slopeside parcel to Residential High Density — as was initially proposed, was too uncertain should the Town not develop a Community Housing project at this location in a timely fashion. The application was tabled indefinitely until such a time as more specific Community Housing Zone Districts were implemented and related Comprehensive Plan Amendments considered. Second reading of Ordinance 24-01 enacting new zone districts was approved January 23, 2024, and with that approval, Staff is reengaging with the Slopeside application. Second Reading of Ordinance 24-02, which updates the Comprehensive Plan to support and reinforce future planning efforts on the Slopeside parcel per the Future Land Use Map as Community Housing, is scheduled for February. The New Community Housing zone district be applied to this application is as follows: (e) Community Housing High Density —1. The CHHD-1 district is established to accommodate multi -family development in cost effective configuration, construction type and density that permits a high number of residential units with a maximum of four (4) stories of residential or three (3) stories of residential above one (1) level of at grade parking.

The Future Land Use Map in the Avon Comprehensive Plan designates the Property as "Civic/Public Facilities" which indicated some level of anticipated development. Staff was not able to find any information on past ideas about civic or public facility uses that may have been contemplated for this site. Swift Gulch, to the east of the Property, was at one time zoned for 105 units of housing. Subsequently that property was rezoned for public use and a public works/transit/fleet campus. The Property also contains a portion of the pedestrian/bike trail that runs between Avon Road and Post Blvd, and the existing Nottingham Puder Ditch. PROCESS: Rezonings can only be initiated by property owners and the Avon Town Council ("Council") for Town -owned properties. Council directed Staff to submit a rezoning application to Planning and Zoning Commission ("PZC") at their June 27, 2023 meeting. Staff provided the necessary public notification before this hearing with the PZC. PZC was requested to review the rezoning application and provide a recommendation to Council in accordance with the Avon Development Code. Council approves rezonings by adoption of an ordinance. The PZC unanimously recommended Town Council approve the original rezoning application at its September 19, 2023, public meeting. After being heard at the October 10, 2023 Town Council hearing, this application was tabled indefinitely, pending the outcome of subsequent planning applications including a Code Text Amendment for the creation of Community Housing zone districts, and a corresponding Comprehensive Plan Amendment to add Community Housing as a recommended future land use on the REZ23001 A Rezoning Application: "Slopeside" Community Housing February 1, 2024 Page 2 of 6 Town -owned parcels, including the Slopeside parcel. The application has since been updated to reflect its association with the amendments, and as this change is considered substantial, it must be reviewed for a second time by the PZC, February 6, 2024. Upon making a (second) recommendation to Council on this file, the application will then move forward to be presented to Council for First Reading. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: The Application was publicly notified in the Vail Daily on September, 8, 2023, and Janaury 26, 2024. TOWN COUNCIL STAFF PZC TOWN COUNCIL INITIATION ANALYSIS & PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE & June 27 REPORT RECOMMENDATION PUBLIC HEARING September 19, 2023 October 10, 2023 February OPTIONS: The PZC has the following options with the Application: • Approval the rezoning application • Approve the rezoning application with revisions • Continue Public Hearing to a Specific Date • Deny the application (or direct Staff to withdraw the application) DISCUSSION: The cost of workforce housing has escalated dramatically over the last three years and is regarded as a crisis across Colorado. Properties owned by Avon which are physically suitable for the development of Community Housing have the financial advantage that Avon does not have to include the cost of land into the overall cost of developing housing. 3.5 acres in this location with high density residential zoning likely has a fair market value in excess of $7 Million. The property is long, narrow, and has considerable slopes, which makes traditional housing development with surface parking more difficult and limiting. The property is located near the Swift Gulch bus stop and is a convenient three -block walk to Avon Station, where free transit from Vail to Beaver Creek to Edwards is available for users. While on hold pending the outcomes of the recent Code Text and Comprehensive Plan Amendments, this property is now a "Gateway" area in addition to being identified for Community Housing. New Comprehensive Plan design considerations will be available as part of the review for subsequent planning applications associated with the Slopeside property. The Comprehensive Plan Ordinance has not yet been approved (Second reading is scheduled for February 13), so these provisions have not been applied to this evaluation. As no development application accompanies this rezoning, Staff feels this report review remains valid and provides satisfactory information for PZC to rely on in making a recommendation to Town Council. Staff has attached the most recent Comprehensive Plan Amendment as Attachment C. Staff believes this property remains best suited for a Community Housing project that includes many small units (studios) with minimal parking that can accommodate temporary and seasonal workers due to the physical challenges of the sloped site and the proximity to Avon's commercial core and transit. With the application of the new Community Housing zone district and through creative, strategic design that will be implemented as soon as possible, both the Community Housing use and any Gateway improvements will become a welcome development in this area of Avon.

REZ23001 A Rezoning Application: "Slopeside" Community Housing February 1, 2024 Page 3 of 6 TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: The development of Community Housing involves several steps. Implementation of a truly effective Community Housing program that goes beyond isolated individual projects will create a "pipeline" of entitled properties. The various steps for an individual Community Housing project includes: (1) Identification of land suitable for a Community Housing Project. (2) Determination of Ownership and Initial Partners (i.e. public or private). (3) Zoning (or Rezoning) (4) Determining whether to proceed as public development project or post Request for Proposal for private developers. (5) Apply for Grant Funding for design, infrastructure and/or construction. (6) Conceptual Design of Housing Project to determine density, layout and feasibility. (7) Determination of specific housing type and goals (rent versus own, unit size, target AMI levels) (8) Establishing development team (architect, owners representative, contract — if a public project, or selecting developer if private project). (9) Securing financing and finalizing development agreements and deed restrictions. (10) Overseeing or administering construction of project. (11) Construction completion and sale or leasing per Avon Community Housing Policies or per terms with private developer. Accomplishing Steps 1 through 3 is required before the Town can meaningfully engage with potential housing partners or apply for grant funding. For this reason, it is important to proceed with the first three steps to create opportunities to continue with the remainder of the steps based on partner support and grant funding availability. Updating the Avon Municipal Code by adding Community Housing zone districts and updating the Comp Plan to support rezonings related to Community Housing is an essential foundational action. REVIEW CRITERIA: The PZC must consider a set of review criteria when reviewing rezonings. The review criteria is governed by Avon Municipal Code ("AMC') §7.16.050, Rezonings. Staff has provided responses to each review criteria within the attached Application. FINDINGS: §7.16.050, Rezonings. (1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code has been established within the application; (2) This application is consistent with the 2017 Avon Comprehensive Plan as this parcel is slated for Community Housing- recognized has an important use within the Plan; (3) The physical suitability of the land for the proposed development or subdivision is sufficient for the purposes of this rezoning; (4) Compatibility with surrounding land uses is reasonable, as this area is comprised of a mix of residential and neighborhood commercial uses; REZ23001 A Rezoning Application: "Slopeside" Community Housing February 1, 2024 Page 4 of 6 (5) The proposed rezoning is justified by changed or changing conditions in the character of the area proposed to be rezoned, especially as Community Housing is an established need; (6) There are adequate facilities available to serve development for the type and scope suggested by the proposed zone compared to the existing zoning, that will not affect the existing level of services available currently; (7) The rezoning is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning district: Community Housing; (8) The rezoning will not result in adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, stormwater management, wildlife and vegetation, and any impacts will be substantially mitigated through future development applications; (9) The rezoning will not result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; (10) As this rezoning is not within an existing PUD, consistency with a relevant PUD Master Plan is not applicable; and (11) Adequate mitigation may be required for future development applications as the rezoning will result in greater intensity of land use or increased demands on public facilities and infrastructure; however, during the next phase of entitlement. And, Conformance with General Review Criteria in AMC §7.16.010(f)(1), General Criteria, which provides criteria that are applicable to all development applications: (1) Review Criteria. The reviewing authority shall be Director when the Director has the authority to administratively approve a development application. The reviewing authority shall be the PZC and/or Town Council for all development applications which are subject to public hearing. The reviewing authority shall review development applications for compliance with all relevant standards and criteria as set forth in the specific procedures for the particular application in this Development Code, as well as the following general criteria which shall apply to all development applications: (i) The development application is complete; (ii) The development application provides sufficient information to allow the reviewing authority to determine that the development application complies with the relevant review criteria; (iii) The development application complies with the goals and policies of the recently updated Avon Comprehensive Plan; and (iv) The demand for public services or infrastructure exceeding current capacity will be mitigated by future development applications. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "/ recommend the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend Town Council approve the Rezoning application for Benchmark Subdivision Tract Y from Open Space, Landscaping, Drainage to Community Housing High Density -1 incorporating the findings as presented in this report and within supporting materials."

This development necessitates the zone district of Community Housing High Density -1 ("CHHD-1") to accomplish these goals. The location of the subject parcel is adjacent to an existing commercial development, separated by an existing parking lot. Typically, it is common to find high density developments adjacent to commercial areas, as activity within these types of land uses have similar levels of intensity. Further, as a unique design element, this development purposefully will limit vehicle parking spaces resulting in a complex that is able to fully maximize the parcel for residences. This design mindset works well with this site because of its location. The site's walkability to neighboring commercial businesses, town center, park, and open spaces, as well as its location already on a local transit/bus route, makes this an ideal parcel for this unique project and for this specific type of workforce. BACKGROUND: The subject parcel has been long overlooked as a location for development for many years. It was part of the original Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, and has been zoned for Open Space, Landscaping, Drainage ("OLD"), since at least 1991. Understandably, Avon has not experienced the population growth and pressure like we have presently. Avon's historical placement of high density housing was situated along Hwy 6 near Beaver Creek or the Elementary School, with lower density housing (duplexes and 3 or 4 unit townhomes) along Nottingham Rd. and W Beaver Creek Blvd. towards the Town Core. As Avon becomes built out in residential areas and population and workforce demands increase, looking at all available — and suitable, parcels for development becomes necessary to reassess. It is important to remember that costs are significantly less for Community Housing projects when the Town owns the land. Avon also focused their activities at the Swift Gulch location, further to the east. Given that there is no housing of this nature anywhere in town, having housing for 970-748-4023 jskinner@avon.org seasonal employees in a resort town becomes very important to support the predominant hospitality services Avon offers, and a fresh look at this parcel for the application of Community Housing is warranted. Adjacent to this parcel is the tail end of the Swift Gulch Addition/subdivision, planned as part of the overall Swift Gulch public facilities property and what was first identified for workforce housing in 2015. The Swift Gulch Addition was originally zoned for an anticipated 105 residential multiple family dwelling units and or commercial as allowed in the SC (Shopping Center) zone district." Subsequently, that parcel was rezoned for Public Facilities (public use) and a public works/transit/fleet Campus. This parcel also contains a portion of the pedestrian/bike trail that travels to Post Blvd, constructed in 2006, and the Town's Nottingham Puder Ditch that parallels Swift Gulch Road. Recently, this site was also identified as "Gateway" and future designs for some sort of entry monument or signage will also need to be integrated into this location. As part of the actual development project, these elements will be addressed in some fashion that will allow the site to accommodate all of these components. As part of the outfall of the pandemic, housing discussions and interactions have significantly increased. This is primarily caused by the unforeseen number of people relocating to the mountains coupled with an extreme increase in demand. The outfall: housing prices rose sharply and, in response, a dramatic increase in mortgage rates caused by this inflation. Towns all over the nation are experiencing a workforce housing crisis presently and are still dealing with the employment trends that have also been affected as an additional outcome of the pandemic. Workers quit their jobs in record numbers in 2021, and 2022 as ample job opportunities and higher pay lured them elsewhere. The good news is that the "quits rate" has steadily declined since peaking last year, and in April 2023, this rate fell to its pre -pandemic average in 20191. However, with housing scarce or extremely expensive to buy or rent currently- even with jobs available, positions remain difficult to fill without the ability to offer housing especially for those not making 100%+ AMI wages. Towns like Vail have various forms of accommodations available for workers. Unfortunately, Avon does not yet have as extensive a portfolio as Vail. Thinking ahead to diversifying housing projects is a step heading in the best direction. SECTION 2: REVIEW CRITERIA: The Town Council must consider a set of review criteria when reviewing rezonings. The review criteria is governed by Avon Municipal Code ("AMC") §7.16.050, Rezonings. (1) Evidence of substantial compliance with the purpose of the Development Code; Applicant Response: This rezoning is a small step to help increase Avon's Community Housing efforts, and may be considered an essential piece in supporting the Town's economic sustainability and the health, safety, and general welfare of the Avon Community. This rezoning will require a site specific development review to be examined and processed as a next step and once designed, having a property with the appropriate zoning to site a Community Housing project, will improve the Town of Avon's chances in receiving vital grant funding for this type of Community Housing project. Preparing to create new housing projects with having available land at the ready without finished concept plans is becoming as essential as having full design plans ready to go in this later portion of 2023. As mentioned as a "next step'; the Town will engage in obtaining a consultant to create a design for this project. During this process, the Town will ensure that all underlying code requirements for the requested zone district will be met; however, Avon recognizes that flexiblity in in some of the development standards will be necessary to achieve the desired number of units for this project. For instance, departing from the required number of 1 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics JOLTS report, May 2023 Slopeside/BMBC TY Rezoning Application February 1, 2024 Page 2 of 7 parking spaces as required by Code. As such, they will request flexibility through the Development Bonus process. (2) Consistency with the Avon Comprehensive Plan; Applicant Response: On the first page of the Avon Community Housing Plan it quotes the 2017 Avon Comprehensive Plan where, "Avon's vision is to provide a high quality of life, today and in the future, for a diverse population; and to promote their ability to live, work, visit, and recreate in the community." It goes on to state, "The Potential community benefits of increasing Community Housing efforts include: • More housing choices; • Increased economic stability and a more active year-round economy for local residents and businesses; • Greater ability to retain individuals and families throughout life and career phases, strengthening the sense of community, opportunity, and quality of life; • Increase Community Housing supply for job recruitment purposes; • Create Community Housing in closer proximity to job centers with pedestrian connections and availability of transit, in alignment with the Climate Action Plan goals. " Goal 1 of this same plan is to, 'Achieve a diverse range of housing densities, styles, and types, including rental and for �— - sale, to serve all segments of the population." This rezoning Future Land Use Map offers the Town a parcel of land that is set up and ready to Landuse Designations invest in, for projects like the one that would be an asset at Mixed use this location. A project that fills in an income and lifestyle Civic/Public gap for a workforce needed to support the economics of our Regional Commercial community, and by filling a need for businesses in having ( D Neighborhood Commercial housing that could be used for much-needed resort-orientedD Light Industrial Commercial =Open Space workers. Park The Future Land Use Plan establishes preferred D Residential - High Density O Residential - Medium Density development patterns by designating land use categories for O Residential - Low Density specific geographical locations. While land use designations =Residential -Community Housing depicted on the land use map do not supersede the Town's zoning districts and regulations, they display general land use categories as a visual guide for the community based on the goals, objectives, and policies presented within this r - document. Currently, the Comprehensive Plan is being q ,, amended to have the site designated as Community Housing, as shown in the image, right. Updating land use regulations with new development tools is also supported by the Avon Comprehensive Plan Policy C.1.1, which recommends to: Regularly update and enhance the Avon land use regulations and District Master Plans for innovative design approaches and positive development outcomes. The Comprehensive Plan is approaching a complete update; however, the proposed update centered on Community Housing works in harmony with this proposed zone change. Recently, the Town approved the addition of five (5) new Community Housing zone districts within the Avon Municipal Code to ensure this regulatory element is up to date concerning density maximums and definitive design "minimums. " If these zone districts are not quite "enough" to capture desired design alternatives, the Development Bonus process is available to help with projects on a case-by- case basis. The Community Housing Plan supports this action by encouraging "...incentives and regulations to create a policy environment that is favorable for local housing." Effectively, Slopeside/BMBC TY Rezoning Application February 1, 2024 Page 3 of 7 having several Community Housing tools available to assist with potential projects, including design flexibility, ensures that targeted areas for Community Housing align with the Town's housing goals, which is the first step in thinking ahead, adequately planning housing policies, and obtaining funding. To encourage new development and redevelopment, Avon has to have various appropriate tools to support projects that are best for the community and help attract project partners. In this case, preparing town -owned lands to receive housing projects, as advocated by the Comprehensive and Avon Community Housing plans, while being open to expanding on what kinds of housing programs are needed to support these efforts, is the first step in responding to the housing crisis. (3) Physical suitability of the land for the proposed development or subdivision; Applicant Response: Although this property has a significant grade change from Swift Gulch Road to the pedestrian path, the property is suitable for development as slopes do not exceed 40% (see image, next page. In calculating the slope it appears to be approximately 21 % overall). Completely walkable currently, this site hosts the Nottingham Puder Ditch along the northern boundary, and the pedestrian trail at the tow of the slope. Due to the condition of the Ditich, several large cottonwood trees have been removed in the last year, and largely, the site is comprised of typcial, high -country /native grass cover and vegetation. The Town realizes that the Ditch and pedestrian trail may have to be modified in order for the site to maximize its potential. Options identified at this point include modifiying the ditch from being open to being piped underground. As the ditch exits the Slopeside parcel, it currently goes underground at the western boundary, under the parking lot and beyond, and to extend this pipe would be resonable through this location as well. As far as the pedestrian path goes, the potential to move it closer/abutting or within the CDOT right-of-way adjacent to the southern property line of the site could be persued as well. In recognizing these limited constraints early in the design process, will be effective in designing the residential structure. Water and sewer is accessible to this site, and Swift Gulch Road is wide and offers excellent site distance for wherever the access is determined to be located. This site does not contain any significant wildlife habitat or wildlife migration corridors. Image: 2023 Xy�"�1 . ;• 6,. S•`y4 !y �ti a ry *� M .. 4 "l°•i �.�T a .., ±= Ta�'1.

Development on this site will not have an adverse effect- or any impact, to neighboring properties as there are no adjacent developments to this location outside of the adjacent parking lot and commercial uses to the west. Development on this site will not impede views, nor detract from the viability of the surrounding land uses. (5) Whether the proposed rezoning is justified by changed or changing conditions in the character of the area proposed to be rezoned; Applicant Response: This rezoning is being sought directly in response changed conditions or housing crisis Avon is experiencing and as mentioned earlier within this report. Namely, responding to the need to invest in a diverse number of housing projects needed to support Avon's economy, and in offering options for Community Housing unlike any project within the Town of Avon. (6) Whether there are adequate facilities available to serve development for the type and scope suggested by the proposed zone compared to the existing zoning, while maintaining adequate levels of service to existing development; Applicant Response: This site is in excellent proximity to all necessary infrastructure without jeopardizing any existing development, including the availability of water and sewer. The Town will seek these services from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District as a next step. (7) Whether the rezoning is consistent with the stated purpose of the proposed zoning district; SlopesidelBMBC TY Rezoning Application February 1, 2024 Page 5 of 7 Applicant Response: The purpose of the Community Housing High Density - 1 (CHHD-1) is to accommodate multi -family development in cost effective configuration, construction type and density that permits a high number of residential units with a maximum of four (4) stories of residential or three (3) stories of residential above one (1) level of at grade parking. The recent Comprehensive Plan Amendment purposefully did not add suggested zone districts to the Future Land Use Map so that individual projects would apply which Community Housing zone would best suit a particular site, given its location and compatibility with neighboring developments. While it is imperative to maximize density when designing a project for genuinely affordable housing units, it is also necessary to find balance in developing a project that is not only within walking distance of amenities, services, and transit but that a project should not overwhelm a parcel — especially a parcel like Slopeside, which is a highly -visual site or gateway into Avon. (8) That, compared to the existing zoning, the rezoning is not likely to result in adverse impacts upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, stormwater management, wildlife and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially mitigated; Applicant Response: The Town (so far and without a design), would like to possibly create a project with respect to the property's slopes and drainage, by avoiding developing where the onsite ditch is located, etc. This will be accomplished by minimizing hardscapes and by not having an onsite parking lot and significant landscaping. As mentioned in the Finding for property suitability, there are no significant impacts anticipated to vegetation, wildlife, or to the natural environment. In regard to air quality, by having almost no parking and by the residents not being dependent upon individual/personal vehicles, there will be no impact on this particular element. Where noise is concerned, this area has existing vehicle noise due to 1-70. Largely generated during working hours, situating a residential development on this site should not be an issue after typical working hours, as travel dissipates on 1-70. (9) That, compared to the existing zoning, the rezoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts upon other property in the vicinity of the subject tract; Applicant Response: Development of this site in the future will change the "feel" of the area in having a residential development on a parcel that has been largely vacant for decade; however, that argument could be made for any long-standing vacant parcel. In this case, it will not have any adverse impacts to the neighboring properties. The project is also anticipated to not accommodate vehicles and as such, will not add traffic to Avon's road system. Public transit is already accommodated at this location, and this site is highly walkable to neighboring restaurants, parks, and other amenities. (10)For rezoning within an existing PUD, consistency with the relevant PUD Master Plan as reflected in the approval of the applicable PUD; and Applicant Response: Not applicable. (11)Adequate mitigation is required for rezoning applications which result in greater intensity of land use or increased demands on public facilities and infrastructure. Applicant Response: The Town will thoughtfully and thoroughly design a project that is properly mitigated in changing its current use to residential. This will include any infrastructure modifications or expansions. As previously mentioned, having existing water and sewer and public transit immediate to this location will be a significant cost savings in servicing this development. GENERAL REVIEW CRITERIA: Conformance with General Review Criteria in AMC §7.16.010(f)(1), General Criteria, which provides criteria that are applicable to all development applications: (1) Review Criteria. The reviewing authority shall be Director when the Director has the authority to administratively approve a development application. The reviewing authority shall be the PZC and/or Slopeside/BMBC TY Rezoning Application February 1, 2024 Page 6 of 7 Town Council for all development applications which are subject to public hearing. The reviewing authority shall review development applications for compliance with all relevant standards and criteria as set forth in the specific procedures for the particular application in this Development Code, as well as the following general criteria which shall apply to all development applications: (i) The development application is complete; (ii) The development application provides sufficient information to allow the reviewing authority to determine that the development application complies with the relevant review criteria; (iii) The development application complies with the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan; and (iv) The demand for public services or infrastructure exceeding current capacity is mitigated by the development application. Applicant Response: This rezoning application is complete. Applicant believes sufficient information exists to allow Council to review this application with the review criteria. Further, the recently approved code text amendment application directly reflects the update to the Avon Comprehensive Plan. This rezoning application will not impact demands for public services or infrastructure because it is not a true development application; instead, it simply a rezoning for a Town -owned property slated for a future Community Housing project. CONCLUSION: If the Town is successful in achieving this rezoning, the following development "next steps" or actions will occur: • Producing an RFP for design services; • Pursuing development and housing grants for this project; • Obtaining consultants to produce geotechnical reports; • Pursuing potential community development partners; • Creating a concept plan to be examined by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council. This rezoning is an excellent first step in setting up the Town to pursue funding and in implementing a 100%, deed restricted Community Housing project for Avon. Doing entitlement work in 2024 even before having any design plans, positions the Town to more effectively plan for growth and in looking at the economic viability moving forward. Importantly, in increasing our housing portfolio and in recognizing our essential workforce needs, Avon becomes an even greater community.

Land use designations depicted on the land use map do not supersede the Town's zoning districts and regulations and display general land use categories as a visual guide for the community based on the goals, objectives, and policies presented within this document. The Future Land Use Plan and its land use designations are illustrative only and do not represent zoning designations. "Community Housing" was added to the FLUM as a Future Land Use in 2024. At that time, the application of Community Housing' as a use was applied to Town -owned lands onl- however, in all zone districts, except for PUDs, Community Housing is a permitted use and is strongly encouraged for any residential or mixed-use developments. The specific Community Housing Zone Districts (i.e., CHMD, CHHD 1 and 2, CHMU 1 and 2) are purposefully not designated in the FLUM with the intention that the appropriate and specific Community Housing Zone District necessary for implementation will occur at the time of zoning approval. The future determination of the appropriateness for which the Community Housing Zone District is to be applied will consider the desired adopted housing plans and strategies the desired density and housing type, the economic conditions and financial resources, and the availability of infrastructure and transit. Community Housing is defined in Avon Municipal Code §3.14.020 Definitions.

Special attention should be given to all design elements to create an attractive first impression of the Town of Avon. An entry monument sign with upscale design that incorporates contemporary mountain architecture, natural elements and other design elements which reflect Avon's culture is appropriate. The entry monument sign should establish a sense of arrival to the Town of Avon. The architectural design of Community Housing on this site should be elevated to establish a strong example of Avon's residential design standards and goals. Gateway Area Design Principles: • Exterior sidina used in aatewav areas should utilize stone. precast concrete or cast stone. with colors using a Light Reflective Value of sixty (60) or less for the foundation and for a majority of the first floor of a structure. • Use of reflective glass or materials are not appropriate for gateway, areas. • Roofs should be pitched using materials that are highlyfire resistant, with overhangs that offer visual relief and with gutters to protect both structures and pedestrians below from snow and water. • Unsightly mechanical equipment and items like dumpsters, parking, etc., should be screened from view from passersby in these visually sensitive areas. • Walls should incorporate horizontal and vertical articulation and architectural elements to break up massing and avoid design monotony. Landscape terracing is recommended where possible to provide more of a natural landform and softer visual appeal for these areas. • Projects should consider the massing and scale of existing neighborhood development and or maximum redevelopment potential, if underdeveloped, to ensure compatibility of design.

The West Avon Preserve includes 11 miles of trails added in 2015, and the East Avon Preserve is planned to include trails. Open space adjacent to town is owned by the U.S. Forest Service. These parcels are important to maintaining the desired character of Avon and for development consistent with the overall land use plan. Loss of these parcels to private ownership and development would eliminate valuable visual and physical buffers between and among developed areas of Town and would deprive citizens of open space and natural habitats. Planning Principles: • Pursue Town acquisition of parcels to be dedicated as open space by working with the local and national land conservation organizations. • Encourage maintained ownership of U.S. Forest Service by collaborating with the agency to improve, utilize, and maintain them as low -impact publicly accessible regions. • Communicate Avon's values and desires with the U.S. Forest Service so that land swaps are unlikely to occur without approval from the Town. • Oppose any possible disposition or degradation of the parcels. • Participate in U.S. Forest Service planning efforts to ensure adequate development and long- term maintenance of trails and trailheads. 0 Support and cooperate in efforts to bury power lines.

The proposed project is compatible with Purposes of the Avon Development Code ("ADC"). 2. Reserved The project demonstrates design conformity with Avon Comprehensive Plan and other applicable, adopted plan documents. Specifically, the project demonstrates conformity the plan for the Northern Residential District (District 11 of the Comprehensive Plan) which states, "This residential area contains varying densities located on the south -facing slopes north of the main valley floor. The character for the developed landscape should reflect the area's dry climate and typically steep terrain with low water -requiring plant materials and natural landscaping. Due to the limited number of existing trees and shrubs and the open character of the property, special care should be taken to ensure that all structures are compatible with one another and in harmony with the natural surroundings." The project is consistent with_previously approved and not revoked subdivision plat, planned development or any other precedent plan or land use approval for the property as applicable. The proposed plans are in general conformance with the Wildridge Final Subdivision Plat: the project does not encroach in non -developable areas, is an approved density of dwelling units, and meets setback requirements. The proposed amendment 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. 5. The project is compliant with all applicable development and design standards set forth in the AMC, including but not limited to the provisions in Chapter 7.20, Zone Districts and Official Zoning Map, Chapter 7.24, Use Regulations and Chapter 7.28, Development Standards. The lot is zoned as a Planned Unit Development, and the PUD Final Subdivision plat confirms that a single-family home is allowed. Additionally, plans that demonstrate compliance with Development Standards including access drive requirements, snow storage, and landscaping requirements have been made a condition of approval for building permit approval. All other aspects of the project including allowed use, density, lot coverage, setbacks, easements, building height, grading, parking, lighting, and color and materials are compatible with the ADC. PZC Record of Decision: MJR23005 6. The development can be adequately served by city services, including but not limited to roads, water, wastewater, fire protection and emergency medical services. No additional roads require construction for this project, emergency service access remains in place for the site and all neighboring sites, and Wildridge has adequate water allocations and services available confirmed by the Town and ERWSD's water budget inventory review in early 2023. 7. The development design conforms with the character of the surrounding community; or, where redevelopment is anticipated, relates the development to the character of Avon as a whole. The home, including materials, color, scale, design, and layout are compatible with other homes in Avon and the Wildridge PUD specifically. GENERAL CRITERIA FINDINGS: 1. The development applications is complete. 2. The development application provides sufficient information to allow the reviewing authority to determine that the development applications comply with the relevant review criteria. 3. The development application complies with the goals and policies of the Avon Comprehensive Plan; and 4. The demand for public services or infrastructure exceeding current capacity does not require mitigation. CONDITIONS: 1. An executed Access Agreement between the subject property owner and the neighboring property owner for which the proposed access will be achieved must be provided to the Community Development Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. Failing to provide this document will necessitate the property owner to utilize and provide an alternative access design plan, requiring subsequent Planning approval for this modification. 2. Snow storage areas must be shown on the forthcoming building permit 3. Modify landscaping to adhere to "Fire -Free -Five" distancing, subsequently approved by Staff 4.
