PZC Packet 021610To. Planning and Zoning Commissioners From. Justin Hildreth, P.E., Town Engineer Jeffrey Schneider, P.E., Project Engineer Through; Matt Gannett, AICD, Planning Manager Daae: February 11, 2010 15 t' 0 L O R. D 0 Ree Avon Community Heat Recovery Project— Heat Distribution Building Summary: The Avon Community Heat Recovery project will convey heat energy from treated wastewater effluent to heat the Recreation Center swimming pools. It is a collaborative project with Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and the State of Colorado and is the first of its kind in the state. It will provide a renewable, green source of heat, helping Avon reach its goals of reducing its carbon footprint. Two buildings are to be constructed for the project, a condition of the Heat Distribution Building's design review approval was to present a landscape plan to Planning and Zoning. Staff created a landscape plan utilizing transplanting existing large pine trees, a new maple tree, and large shrub plantings to screen the building. Existing irrigation infrastructure will be retrofit to low water use drip irrigation, and a durable, attractive landscape amenity will be created. Background: Town Staff presented the Final Design for two buildings to be constructed as part of the Community Heat Recovery Project, one located on the Avon Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) site and one immediately east of the Recreation Center, at the December 15, 2009 meeting. The building at the WWTF, known as the Heat Pump Building, was approved without conditions, and the building at the Recreation Center, known as the Heat Distribution Building, was approved with two conditions: that appropriate glass block windows be added to the building elevations with a Staff approval, and that a Landscaping Plan is prepared to screen the building with a minimum three-foot wide strip, and that such plan shall be brought before Planning and Zoning Commission. The architect is currently preparing the window addition for submittal to Staff. Discussion: Attached as Exhibit A to this memorandum is a site plan showing the proposed landscape improvements at the Heat Distribution Building. The improvements will effectively screen the building, while utilizing existing trees and minimizing the impact on parking spaces and additional site work reconfiguring the parking lot and its entrances. The reduced site work and utilization of existing plants also minimizes construction costs, and the landscaping will have low ongoing maintenance costs. The plan was developed with Town of Avon Public Works staff and will be easily maintainable and utilizable as a snow storage site for snow removal operations, as well as an attractive landscape amenity in periods without snow. This plan was accomplished losing only four additional parking spaces, bringing the total parking impact to nine for the construction of the Heat Distribution Building. Avon Community Heat Recovery Project — Heat Distribution Building February 11, 2010 Page 2 of 2 The parking lot entrance will be shifted to the north to allow for a large 'teardrop' shaped landscaping area beginning with a three-foot strip immediately south of the double doors on the building, and extending and wrapping to the south of the building to the existing concrete sidewalk and new curb and gutter at the parking lot entrance. Plantings for this area include large shrubs immediately adjacent to the building and proceeding south in a linear fashion to screen both the new Heat Distribution building and a portion of the existing Recreation Center. The shrubs consist of 5 -gallon size Burning Bush and Siberian Peashrubs" whose mature height ranges from 9-12 feet tall. The Burning Bush is a green shrub with brilliant red fall color, and the Siberian Peashrub is a green shrub with small yellow blooming flowers. To the east of these larger plantings will be a row of Wild Roses, growing to a mature height of approximately 5 -feet, and exhibiting green foliage and pink flowers. Wild Roses are in found in other landscape areas adjacent to the Recreation Center and will match existing plantings. Also in this island will be a new "Tartarian Maple" (minimum 4"caliper) which will provide additional screening and additional fall color. The ground cover in this area will be comprised of a cobble mulch, with river rock approximately 4-6" in nominal size to match existing cobble mulch adjacent to the Recreation Center. The cobble mulch will be placed atop a weed barrier fabric and is a durable, attractive surface easily accommodating snow removal and storage operations. Cinder removal from the snow piles is easily accomplished with this ground cover; therefore, it is a preferred material for Public Works staff. Moving to the east, the landscape island between the parking lot entry and exit will be shifted and reconfigured. Three additional parking spaces will be removed and the landscape island will be enlarged. One of the large 12" caliper pine trees currently located in the proposed building footprint will be transplanted to this area, providing exceptional screening. This island already contains two patmore ash trees planted in the spring of 2009. The plantings in this area include Chinese juniper, which is a low -growing ground cover with golden yellow foliage. Beneath the plantings will be the cobble mulch and weed barrier fabric. The small landscape island to the east of the parking lot exit will be reconfigured to receive a 10" caliper pine tree transplanted from the building footprint area, along with additional junipers, cobble mulch, and weed barrier fabric. In addition, a 12" caliper tree from the building footprint will be transplanted to atop the hillside immediately southwest of the existing Recreation Center loading dock to screen the building corner. Finally, a small triangle north of the building will be landscaped with native turf mix in this area. The tall grasses will provide important snow storage area as well as screening and a green buffer north of the Heat Distribution building. The native turf mix will be irrigated to ensure fast germination and growth. All irrigation proposed for this site, with the exception of the small landscape island north of the building, will be drip irrigation, utilizing less water than the existing spray irrigation areas despite the larger landscape area footprint on the proposed plan. Existing irrigation is proposed to be retrofit to drip, minimizing the need for new installation and utilizing existing mainlines, valves, and sleeving. The irrigation is tied to the Town's master irrigation system, which uses non - potable water from Nottingham Lake. A rain sensor is installed at the pump house and the entire Town's irrigation system does not operate during rain events. Proposed Planning and Zoning Commission Action: Staff respectfully requests approval of the proposed Site Restoration Plan for the Heat Distribution Building site. To: Planning and Zoning Commissioners From: Jared Barnes, Planner I Through: Matt Gannett, AICP, Planning Manager Date: February 16th, 2010 Ree Color Change Review for Courtyard Villas Discussion: At the February 2"d, 2010 meeting the proposed color change was placed on the agenda. The Commission tabled the application due to a need for an on -building mock-up to properly review the proposed colors. The applicant has provided an on - building mock-up of the proposed color on the southwest corner of the duplex on Lot 13, Block 3, Wildridge. Staff recommends that the Commissioners take a site visit prior to the February 16th 2010 meeting and be prepared to discuss the proposed modification. Staff has provided the Commission with a copy of the previous Staff report and photographs of the on -building mock-up. Staff recommends approval of the proposed color change with the finding that the proposed colors meet the Design Guidelines.

Summary The applicant, Vicki Eastman, on behalf of the Lodge at Brookside Homeowners Association, has applied for a Planned Unit Development ('PUD") Amendment to the Brookside PUD. The proposal is to allow "Short Term Rentals," as defined by the Avon Municipal Code, in addition to the currently allowed land uses. The Brookside PUD describes the allowed uses for the residential portions of the PUD to include "Multiple Family Dwelling Units including townhomes, condominiums and apartments." This application stems from enforcement measures initiated during the approval process for the Short Term Rental Overlay (STRO) District in late 2009. It was determined that the STRO District could not be enacted for PUD zone districts that did not explicitly enumerate this land use. The property management was informed that since the property did not specifically allow Short Term Rentals and that the only process to bring the use into conformance was to process a PUD Amendment application and follow the public process. Similar to the Stonebridge PUD Amendment that was recently processed; this application is a straightforward PUD amendment being sought to consent to the Short Term Rental use, which has presumably been taking place on the property since original construction. This report outlines all of the mandatory review criteria in Section V, and also provides a recommended action with supported findings of fact. After holding a public hearing in accordance with Section 17.12.100 of the Avon Municipal Code, Staff is recommending that the Town of Avon Planning and Zoning Commission make a formal recommendation of APPROVAL to the Avon Town Council based on the compatibility of this land use.

After holding a public hearing before the Planning Commission, a report of the Planning Commission stating its findings and recommendations and this report will be transmitted to the Town Council for their review of the first reading of an Ordinance for the Council to consider. The Town Council shall then consider this application in accordance with Section 17.28.050 of the Avon Municipal Code. The Town Council hearing shall be held no later than thirty (30) days following the Planning and Zoning Commission action. Following this hearing, the Council shall consider the comments and evidence presented at the hearing and evaluate the application in accordance with Section 17.28.080 and either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. III. Background The property was rezoned from Residential High Density Commercial (RHDC) to PUD in 1996. There was a PUD Development Plan approved through Ordinance 96-8, subject to the following conditions: 1. That all development on this property shall conform to the approved Development Plan which establishes the permitted uses, number of dwelling units, amount of commercial area, locations of buildings and site improvements, building envelopes, parking and driveway areas, and landscape plan. 2. That the maximum of 130 dwelling units formerly permitted in conjunction with the RHDC zone district on this property is hereby eliminated by this Rezoning and approval of the Development Plan. 3. That vehicle access to the site from Highway 6 must conform with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) regulations. 4. That final architectural and site design must be approved pursuant to Town of Avon regulations prior to issuance of any building permit. When this rezoning was approved, the corresponding PUD Development Plan established all of the permitted development standards. Please refer to Exhibit C to this report for the approved PUD Guide portion of this Development Plan. A year later, the Town Council approved Ordinance 97-3, approving the first Amendment to the Brookside PUD. This PUD Amendment approved the following modifications: eight additional residential units, increased building height for Building B to 63 feet, revised the building envelopes for Buildings B and C, revised the parking and circulation layout, and revised the architecture of the residential buildings. The PUD was once more amended in late 1997; adding "Restaurants" to the list of allowed Commercial land -uses in the PUD Guide. rown of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949-5749 Brookside PUD Amendment — Short Term Rentals �U o fi February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 3 of 6 This application is a noticed public hearing with written notice provided to all property owners within 300' of the subject property. To date, Staff has not received any public input regarding this amendment request. According to the Town of Avon Zoning Code, Section 17.20.110, the following criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating a PUD. 1. Conformance with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan's Goals and Objectives. The Comprehensive Plan incorporates a number of overarching goals and policies to provide town -wide direction with respect to the built form, community character, housing, transportation, etc. While the majority of the goals and policies are general in nature, there are relevant elements worth highlighting. For instance, Goal CA provides guidance to the Town's desired land -use mix: "Provide a balance of land uses that offer a range of housing options... working in concert to strengthen Avon's identity as both a year-round residential community and as a commercial, tourism and economic center." The challenge with balancing the resort/local land -use mix and the resulting demands and impacts experienced with each, is a common theme found throughout the Plan. Short term rentals and other tourism based land -uses should be incorporated in the Town where they can be compatible with adjacent uses. Goal E_3 gives general guidance related to inviting resort guests: "Increase the number of visitors to Avon by enhancing our attractiveness as a destination resort community." According to the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is located in District 20: River Residential District. This area of Town is somewhat segmented from other areas of the Town Core due to natural controls (i.e. river bordering the north and east), as well as Highway 6 and 24 bordering the southern border. The planning principles for this district speak largely to sustaining the ecologically sensitive eagle river environment, and providing access and improvements to the ECO path. 2. Conformity and compliance with the overall design theme of the town, the sub -area design recommendations and design guidelines of the Town. Not applicable since there are no proposed changes to the exterior design of the project. 3. Design compatibility with the immediate environment, neighborhood, and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, character, and orientation. Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949-5749 Brookside PUD Amendment — Short Term Rentals �4i February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 4 of 6 This criterion is not applicable. As stated above, there are no changes that would inhibit design compatibility with the immediate neighborhood. The architectural design of the project would remain as it is today. 4. Uses, activity, and density provide a compatible, efficient, and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. There are residential, commercial, and resort uses in the general vicinity of the Brookside property. This property has demonstrated a workable relationship with the surrounding uses and activity by renting properties on a short-term basis in the past. 5. Identification and mitigation or avoidance of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property upon which the PUD is proposed. Not applicable. 6. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Not applicable. 7. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation that is compatible with the Town Transportation Plan. The circulation system for both vehicles and pedestrians is well developed and functional on site, and pedestrian connections are provided to the river path. Unfortunately this property is somewhat restricted for pedestrian connecting to adjacent properties and eventually across Highway 6 & 24. The Transportation Plan envisions sidewalks or separate paved trails along Highway 6 & 24 in the future. 8. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. Not applicable. 9. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional, and efficient relationship throughout the development of the PUD. The phasing plan shall clearly demonstrate that each phase can be workable, functional and efficient without relying upon completion of future project phases. Not applicable since no phasing is required. There are no necessary changes to the subdivision plan in order to allow a short term rental land -use. 10.Adequacy of public services such as sewer, water, schools, transportation systems, roads, parks, and police and fire protection. Not applicable due to the property's location on a State Highway. It must be noted that regional transit service is linked closely with this property. Other services are in place to support this use.

That the streets and roads are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic within the proposed PUD and in the vicinity of the proposed PUD. Not applicable. 12. That the PUD or amendment to PUD requested provides evidence of substantial compliance with the following public purpose provisions, as outlined in Section 17.28.085 of the Avon Municipal Code: A. The application demonstrates a public purpose, which the current zoning entitlements cannot achieve. B. Approval of the zoning application provides long term economic, cultural or social community benefits that are equal to or greater than potential adverse impacts as a result of the changed zoning rights. C. The flexibility afforded in approval of the zoning application will result in better siting of the development, preserving valued environmental and cultural resources, and increasing the amount of public benefit consistent with the community master plan documents. As mentioned, the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan is supportive of lodge type units if focused in the Town Core area. The property is located in close proximity to both local and regional bus service stops. Short term rental guests could continue to utilize these services, and economic values could be experienced with continued lodging taxes and shopping in town. VI. Recommended Motion "I move to recommend APPROVAL of the PUD Amendment to permit short term rentals in the Brookside PUD to the Avon Town Council with the following findings of fact related to the applicable criteria: 1. The subject application is in substantial conformance with the Town of Avon Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives; the proposed use and associated activity provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses; and, that the PUD amendment requested provides evidence of substantial compliance with section 17.28.085 of the Avon Municipal Code; 2. As evidenced by the existing use currently defined by the PUD Development Plan as an "on-site rental office" with a Special Review Use permit, the Short Term Rental Use has been considered ongoing; 3. The Town desires to permit "Short Term Rentals," as defined by the Avon Municipal Code, in residential/mixed-use areas of the Town Core that are designed as such and where property owners wish to engage in short-term renting of dwelling units; and, Town of Avon Community Development (970) 748-4030 Fax (970) 949-5749 Brookside PUD Amendment— Short Term Rentals 9 Plauil February 16, 2010 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Pa e 6 of 6 4.

ATTEST: Patty McKenny, Town Clerk Page 3 of 3 Ord No. 10 -XX Memo To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Sally Vecchio Date: February 11, 2010 Re: Avon Transportation Comprehensive Plan —Vision Statements SUMMARY As part of the Connect Avon Now project, the Town Council has directed staff to work with the Commission in drafting additional vision statements for the Avon Transportation Plan which will provide additional guidance on the full range of future transportation outcomes for the Town. The Council has requested that the new vision statements be scheduled for review at the March 23rd Council meeting. BACKGROUND The Town Council adopted the Avon Comprehensive Transportation Plan in October 2009 (Transportations Plan). The Transportation Plan provides a clear foundation and framework that supports an integrated multi- modal transportation system with planning for future roadway improvements, transit service enhancements and bicycle/pedestrian facilities. Following the adoption of the Transportation Plan, the Town conducted financial modeling and analysis to consider capital and operating costs associated with meeting the future vision of the town's transportation systems.
