Hotel Design Standards
Summary
At your August 7, 2012 meeting Section H.9.Supplemental Design Standards: Planning
Area J Hotel, Motel and Lodge Requirements, Amended and Restated PUD Guide
Version 14, was discussed. Staff was directed to remove the reference to "split -face
block". Additionally, Staff was directed to review other objective design standards for
commercial development within the Avon Development Code (ADC) and incorporate
more standards if possible.
Staff provided a redline strikethrough to the applicant for comment. The strikethrough
incorporated additional ADC architectural standards, and others from the Village (at
Avon) Design Review Guidelines. Attached to this Memorandum is the strikethrough
version provided, along with some comments in the margin from the applicant.

Section H.9. Supplemental Design Standards strikethrough
9. Supplemental Hotel Design Standards: Planning Area J Hotel, Motel and
Lodge Requirements. The following supplemental design and improvement standards shall
apply to any Hotel, Motel and Lodge Uses developed within Planning Area J ("Supplemental
Hotel Design Standards") in addition to other applicable design standards set forth in this PUD
Guide and the minimum Design Review Guidelines set forth in Exhibit E.; an"Compliance
with suehthese Supplemental Hotel Design
Standards shall be confirmed by the Design Review Board and the Director prior to issuance of
any building permit for a Building designated for Hotel, Motel and Lodging Uses_: Variance to
these Supplemental Hotel Design Standards may be considered and approved through the
Alternative Equivalent Compliance process set forth in Section [CITE SECTION]. The
Supplement Hotel Design Standards are set forth as follows:
(a) The primary entrance of the primary structure must face the adjoining
public street.'
ial(b) 17. eepting the 0 building elevation, building eley ,. 4iens of eadi1

aA minimum of 20% of the vertical surfaces on each side of the exterior building elevation shall
be comprised of stone, 3 brick or precast concrete ar hitectural stone. units
(br-ie , w split fee bloek-) The use of stone in a rustic style are prohibited. ;
(c) Indigenous natural or earth tones such as brown, tan, grey, green, blue, or
red in muted, flat colors with an LRV (Light Reflective Value) of sixtylJ60h or less are required.;
Neon, Day-Glo, florescent, reflective and non -earth tone colors are prohibited.
(d) Where primary building walls exceed three d3h stories or forty-five (45)
feet in height, as measured from finished grade to the underside of the eaves, building form shall
step back at least eight (8) feet in depth and such step back shall occur between twelve (12,) feet
and forty-five (45) feet above the finishedrg ade.
(13)Le)—Asphalt siding, imitation brick, asbestos cement shingles or siding,
imitation log siding, aluminum5, exterior insulated finishing system (EIFS)6, ate -plastic Brand
vinyl siding are not permitted_;
Lf)Pitch roofs shall be unglazed concrete tiles, slate, copper, zinc or standing
seem rusty metal (CorTen or equivalent).
t This incorporates requirement in 3.1 of VAA DRG.
Z The VAA DRG does not contemplate "building elevations predominantly comprised of glass" and the term
appears to create opportunity for subjective interpretation. Also, a fagade with is 20% stone and 80% glass would
seem to comply with the concept of being "predominately glass"; therefore, the minimum treatment does not
appear inconsistent with the ability to construct predominately glass buildings.
3 "Masonry" is not defined and would allow cement block constructure.
4 See VAA DRG 3.5
5 See VAA DRG 3.5
6 EIFS is a lightweight synthetic wall cladding that includes foam plastic insulation and thin synthetic. We discussed
not allowing cheap materials like lodges in Eagle which already show visible deterioration.
Comment [H]R1]: Matt, do you think that
"rustic style' is subjective?
Comment [HJR2]: LRV of 60 or less does not
comply with the current Leed certification
movement, does this bother you?
Comment [HJR3]: In PA -1 we have a building
height of 48'. can we make this 4 stories, not 3?
((g) All primaryyroofA and secondary shed roofs shall have pitches of no less
than four-to-twelver (4:12).
(h) The use of dormers (shed, peaked, or eyebrow) shall be used to
break up large expanses of roof to add visual interest such that th re shall be a minimum of one
such dormer feature for every forty (40') of horizontal roof plane.
(O(i) Overhangs are required on pitched roofs. The minimum overhang]ength
(measured fermfrom the point where the wall meets the roof) is eighteen inches (18") rhes -for
structures two (2) stories or less; .
shall-beis twenty-four inches (24") ieehesfor three (3) and four (4) story buildings; and, thirty-six
inches (36") for buildings exceedingfour our (4) stories.$;
LO—Flat roofs shall have concrete pavers or natural colored stone as ballast,

Comment [H]R4]: We are trying to encourage
outdoor/rooftop usages and therefore have made
allowances for flat roofs. Can we allow for flat roofs
if they are accessable?
Comment [H]RS]: see above
COMMent [H]R6]: I thin that this is subjective.
