Development Code (ADC), Table 7.24.1 Allowed Uses, to allow Child Care Centers as special review
uses in the Industrial Commercial (IC) & Public Facilities (PF) zone districts, and to ADC, Sec
24.060(c) Use -Specific Regulations, to require additional standard related to the safety of the

Summary
This is a public hearing before the Avon Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) to consider Resolution
12-01: Recommending an Amendment to Title 7 of the Avon Development Code, to include Commercial
Child Care as a Special Review Use in the Industrial Commercial (IC) & Public Facilities (PF) zone
districts, with additional Use -Specific Regulations for such facilities. (Exhibit A)
Background
On November 8, 2011, the Town Council initiated an amendment to the Avon Development Code (ADC)
to include Child Care Centers as special review uses in the Industrial Commercial (IC), Public Facilities
(PF), and Open Space, Landscaping, and Drainage (OLD) Zone Districts.
Child Care Centers & Zoning
> The ADC permits Child Care Centers as Special Review Uses in the Medium and High Density
Residential Districts; as well as the Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Mixed -Use Commercial
(MC) And Town Center (TC) Zone Districts.
Child Care Centers are not permitted in the following zone districts:
• Residential Duplex (RD)
• Low -Density Residential (RL)
• Light Industrial and Commercial (IC)
• Parks (P)
• Public Facilities (PF); and
• Open Space (OLD).
The ADC defines a Child Care Center as:
" ..a facility, by whatever name known, which is maintained for the whole or part
of a day for the care of five (5) or more children under the age of sixteen (16)
years who are not related to the owner, operator or manager, whether such
facility is operated with or without compensation for such care and with or
without stated education purposes. The term includes, but is not limited to,
facilities commonly known as day-care centers, day nurseries, nursery
schools, preschools, play groups, day camps, summer camps, centers for
developmentally disabled children and those facilities which give twenty-
four hour per day care for dependent and neglected children, but
specifically excludes any family -care home as defined in this Code. Child
care centers are also those facilities for children under the age of six (6) years
with stated educational purposes which are operated in conjunction with a public,
private or parochial college or a private or parochial school, except that the term
January 3, 2012 PZC Meeting Page 1 Child Care Amendments PUBLIC HEARING
shall not apply to a kindergarten maintained in connection with a public, private
or parochial elementary school system of at least six (6) grades so long as the
school system is not also providing extended day services.
> Commercial Child Care facilities must also comply with the following Use -Specific Regulations
(ADC, Sec 24.060(c):
a. All child care centers, regardless of type or size, shall meet the
applicable licensing requirements of the Colorado Statutes
(C.R.S. §26-6-102 et. seq.) and the Regulations of the Colorado
Department Human Services (12 CCR 2509-9); and
b. A child care center shall provide one off-street parking space per
employee and a child loading/unloading area of adequate
dimensions, preferably off-street.
Proposed Amendments
The Town Council has proposed to amend the ADC to allow Child Care Centers as Special Review Uses
in following zone districts: Light Industrial and Commercial (IC); Public Facilities (PF); and Open Space,
Landscaping and Drainage (OLD). Below is a brief synopsis of the three zone districts. The Avon
Zoning Map is attached as Exhibit B.
> Light Industrial Zone District
The intent of the Light Industrial and Commercial (IC) Zone District is to "...provide for a variety
of business, including warehouses, research and development firms, repair shops, wholesale
distributors and light manufacturing. This district may include supporting office and commercial
uses where appropriate." Uses permitted by right in the IC Zone District include: warehouses,
material supply stores, vocational and trade schools, convenience retail and offices. Special
Review Uses include: public and private utility facilities, sexually -oriented business, religious
assembly, dog kennels, veterinary clinics and accessory dwelling uses that support primary
industrial/commercial uses.
> Public Facilities (PF) Zone District
The PF district is intended to provide sites for public uses such as community centers, police and
fire stations, and governmental facilities. Avon Town Hall, Recreation Center, Fire Station,
Library, Swift Gulch Facilities, Avon Elementary School, and the Water and Sanitation District
Facilities are all zoned Public Facilities.
> Open Space, Landscaping, and Drainage (OLD). The OLD district is intended for areas that
will be public or private undeveloped open spaces. There are two large tracts of open space
north of 1-70 with this zoning designation. The Avon West Parcel (470 acres) is part of the USES
Land Exchange and will likely be encumbered by a conservation easement prohibiting
development on the site. The other tract of OLD land is north of Nottingham Rd and Buck Creek.
This was designated as opens space with the original Benchmark PUD. Portions of the Eagle
River and Eco -trail are also zoned OLD.
PZC Recommendations
The PZC reviewed the proposed amendment at two work sessions held on December 6 and December
20, 2011. The PZC determined that child care should not be included as a special review use in the OLD
Zone District because this district is intended for undeveloped open space. The PZC agreed that
January 3, 2012 PZC Meeting Page 2 Child Care Amendments
commercial child care should be a special review use in both the Industrial Commercial and the Public
Facilities zone districts in order to encourage more opportunities and options for child care in the
community.
Use Specific Regulations for Child Care
Given the potential conflicts between child care facilities and some industrial and commercial uses; the PZC
also agreed to include additional Uses -Specific Regulations (ADC, Sec 24.060(c)) that related to the safety of
the occupants of the facility and the external impacts of the facility:
C. As a principle Use, the facility must meet the following standards:
(1) Outdoor recreation
(i) Be enclosed by a fence which allows air and light to penetrate it and be
capable of containing each child using the area;
(ii) Not be within a required building setback;
(iii) Not be closer than 15 feet to the edge of a vehicular public right-of-way.
(iv) Not be within a parking area.
(2) Parking areas and vehicular circulation patterns
(A) Enhance the safety of children as they arrive at and leave the facility.
(ii) Include a traffic management plan which includes a designated pickup and
delivery area.
(iii) Locate all vehicle stacking lanes on site with an on-site turnaround or have
separate points for vehicle ingress and egress.
(3) Outdoor play activities are subject to PZC approval and must be compatible with
surrounding land uses.
d. If not located in a stand-alone building:
(i) The facility shall be located on the first floor of a principal structure; and
(ii) The facility shall be separated (including restrooms) by a physical barrier
from the remaining portion of the building in which it is located.
e. As an Accessory Use the facility must meet the standards above, plus:
(i) Comply with Section 7.24.070, Accessory Uses and Structures; and
(ii) Be compatible with adjacent land uses in terms of hours of operation, noise,
lighting, parking and similar considerations.
Zoning Text Amendment — Review Criteria
Pursuant to ADC Section 7.16.040, Code Text Amendments, the PZC and Town Council shall use the
following review criteria as the basis for recommendations and decisions on applications to amend the text of
the ADC:
1. The Text amendment promotes the health, safety and general welfare of the Avon
Community,
Staff Response: Allowing child care centers to operate in a variety of locations throughout
the community will provide greater options for employers that may want to offer day care to
their employees, and more conveniently -located child care near existing residences and
businesses. The SRU process will continue to provide a reasonable regulatory framework
for the management of child care facilities on private property and will help assure the
protection of the public interest.
2. The text amendment promotes or implements the goals and policies of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan;
January 3, 2012 PZC Meeting Page 3 Child Care Amendments PUBLIC HEARING
Staff Response: Policy C.1.6 (Land Use): "Include sufficient land for public uses such as
schools, recreation, community facilities (such as childcare), and government services near
the people who use them." Including child care centers in the Public Facility Zone District
supports this comprehensive plan policy.
Goal EA (Economic Development): "Ensure that there is a positive environment for small
U11 d[ iuw.
3. The text amendment promotes or implements the purposes stated in the Development Code;
Staff Response: This text amendment is intended to provide assurance to the community
that child care centers will be compatible with their locations and surrounding land uses; and
Will further the purposes of the ADC. This text amendment is specifically endorsed by
Section 7.04.030 (g), Purposes, ADC, by promoting "sufficient, economical and high-quality
public services and public facilities."
4. The text amendment is necessary or desirable to respond to changed conditions, new
planning concepts or other social or economic conditions.
Staff Resoonse: In response to changing conditions and the proven compatibility of existing
child care facilities in the IC and PF zone districts, this amendment will provide additional
options for child care facilities in the community.

Staff Report — Major Design and Development Plan/AEC
January 3, 2012 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting A
Report date December 30, 2011
Project type New Residential Construction — 1 Single Family Residence
Legal description Lot 9, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision
Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 8 Units
Address 1015 W Wildwood Road
Prepared By Jared Barnes, Planner I
Summary of Requests
The Applicant, Michael Pukas, representing WildAvon Enterprises LLC (the Owner), has submitted
a Major Design and Development application, and an Alternative Equivalent Compliance (AEC)
application for a new single-family residence on Lot 9, Block 5 of the Wildridge Subdivision, also
described as 1015 W Wildwood Road (the Property).
The Owner is proposing to develop Phase III of the Wildstar Development, which includes one (1)
single-family residence with vehicle access from a shared private driveway. An AEC application
has also been submitted for a modified roof pitch.
The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) has previously approved three (3) single-family units
in Phases I and four (4) single-family residences in Phase II of the development. The PZC also
approved an AEC requests for reduced building separation, reduced landscaping units, and waived
the bicycle parking requirement.
Property Description
The Property is 1.539 acres with frontage on W. Wildwood Road on both the eastern and western
property lines. The Property slopes uphill from west to east with the steepest portions of the lot
adjacent to both property lines and public ROWs. In addition to typical setbacks and easements,
development is restricted by a Roadway Cut and Fill Slope Easement that runs parallel to the
property lines on the east and west sides of Lot 9, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision. The surrounding
uses are all multi -family structures, with the exception of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation
District (ERWSD) property to the east of the Property along W. Wildwood Road. The shared
driveway and five (5) of the seven (7) single-family structures in Phase I and II of this development
are under construction.
Planning Analysis
Allowed Use and Density. The Property is zoned for eight (8) residential dwelling units, seven (7)
of which have been previously approved. The Wildstar Development was approved by the PZC for
eight (8) single-family residences on a condominium plat. This application complies with the
zoning and approved development plan for the Property.
Lot Coverage, Setback and Easements: This unit complies with the maximum lot coverage, by
providing nineteen percent (19%), and the building is located within the required setbacks. The
Roadway Cut and Fill Slope Easement is for the Town's benefit for the purpose of maintaining W
Wildwood Road, all development activity is prohibited and has been removed from that easement.
Building Height: The maximum building height permitted is thirty-five feet (35'). The proposed
building height is thirty-two feet and ten inches (32'-10").
January 3, 2011 PZC Meeting
Parking: The parking requirement for this unit is three (3) on-site parking spaces. The applicant is
proposing four (4) spaces (two (2) in the garage and two (2) outside the garage). Due to the
number of parking space provided off the private drive, the development requires four (4) guest
parking spaces. The applicant has provided four (4) guest parking spaces across the drive from
Units 2 and 3 to comply with this regulation.
Outdoor Lighting: The unit has two (2) exterior light fixtures types, recessed can fixtures and full
cut-off wall sconce fixtures (Attachment B). Seven (7) recessed can light fixtures will be provided
above the entry door and garage. Two (2) full cut-off wall sconce fixtures are being proposed for
the south elevation's patio doors. The proposed wall sconce fixture utilizes a forty (40) watt bulb
and complies with the outdoor lighting requirements.
Engineering Analysis
Driveways: The proposed driveway configuration, grading and drainage all meet the Town's
minimum standards. Due to the proximity of the parking for Unit 4 to the hammerhead turnaround
for emergency vehicles, a no parking sign will be installed.
Retaining Walls: A series of boulder retaining walls extend from the northwest side of the
proposed structure and connect into the retaining walls on the northeast side of the drive for Phase
II. In addition, a single boulder retaining wall is proposed to the northeast of the structure and
three boulder walls are proposed to the south of the residence. The retaining walls vary in height
from one-half (0.5) of a foot to six (6) feet. All retaining walls over four (4) feet must be structurally
engineered, prior to the issuance of a building permit (§7.28.070(b)(5)).
Subdivision Requirements: The project is being developed as a common -interest (condominium)
community; with each home or unit being subdivided as condominium unit surrounded by common
element open space and access from a private driveway. A condominium plat will be prepared for
administrative approval after the foundations for each unit are completed.
Design Standards Analysis
Landscaping: The approved landscape plan addressed the entire development, including the area
for Unit 4. This application proposes a slight modification to the approved plan, with a total
reduction of six hundred and thirty (630) square feet in the area provided for native grasses. The
trees and shrubs remain as previous approved.
Building Materials and Colors: The primary exterior building material is stucco. The proposed
stucco colors are: "Sandia" (STO 1616), "San Juan" (STO 2088), and "Suede" (STO 01006).
Horizontal wood siding is incorporated into every elevation with a Porter Stains "Dark Oak" (#725)
color. Other building materials include wood fascia trim, stucco belly bands, asphalt shingles
("Hickory" color), cedar wood decking, and aluminum clad windows and garage doors ("Gray"
color).
A photograph of the color/material board is provided as Attachment C and the board will be
available for review at the meeting.
Roofs: All roof pitches are six -in -twelve (6:12), with the exception of a shed roof located on the
west elevation that has a two -in -twelve (2:12) pitch. The six -in -twelve (6:12) roof forms comply
with the Design Standards and the Applicant has provided an AEC application for the two -in -twelve
(2:12) roof. The location of the shed below a second story window prohibits a four -in -twelve (4:12)
roof pitch or greater. A roof pitch in this location is desirable to protect the garage entrance from
January 3, 2011 PZC Meeting 2
snow and ice shedding. All overhangs are a minimum of one and one-half (1.5) feet which also
complies with the Design Standards.
