RE: Application for special review approval at the October 1, 1985
Planning and Zoning Commission regular meeting of a density transfer
of 1 residential development right from the unassigned unit pool of
Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision to Unit 401, Buck Creek Plaza
Condominiums
Gentlemen:
Please accept this letter as an application for the above-referenced action,
pursuant to Code Section 17.20.170, by Benchmark at Beaver Creek, a Colorado
limited partnership, owner of Unit 401 at Buck Creek Plaza Condominiums.
Unit 401 at Buck Creek Plaza is presently a Commercial Condominium in the
multi-use building at 110 E. Beaver Creek Boulevard. This condominium is.
the only commercial unit on the third floor of the building and is
surrounded by residential condominium unit. Because of its isolated
location in the building and because the space is located on the
"residential" floor, it has little or no value as commercial space,
especially since it apparently cannot be rented or sold for such use as
indicated by no results relating thereto for the last three years. We are
requesting the transfer so that we can change the use of the space into a
residential cond aninium.
Attached for your information and review are the following required items:
1. An application fee of $50.00.
2. List of names and addresses of property owners within 300
feet of the proposed use, and a list of owners of condominium units
within the building.
3. Notices of public hearing for the owners listed in item 2.
above (to be mailed out by the town staff).
If you have any questions concerning our application or request for density
transfer, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Special Review Use - (Transfer of Residential'
Development Right from Unassigned Unit Pool)
Public Hearing
INTRODUCTION:
This application is for a Special Review Use to transfer one Residential Develop-
ment Right from the Benchmark at Beaver Creek unassigned unit pool to commercial
condominium Unit 401 of Buck Creek Plaza Condominiums. Unit 401 has a total floor
area of 1,122 square feet. As office space, Unit 401 would have a parking require-
ment of 4, spaces. As a residential unit, parking requirements would be 2 spaces.
Buck Creek Plaza Condominiums is located in the SC (Shopping Center) Zone District.
Allowed uses in the SC Zone District includes apartments and condominium units with
an average allowable density of 2 units per acre. Town records indicate the
average density in the SC Zone District would be 1.66 units per acre with the
transfer of this Development Right.
Town records indicate the Benchmark at Beaver Creek unassigned unit pool currently
contains 5 Residential Development Rights. With this transfer, the unassigned
unit pool would contain 4 Residential Development Rights, and Buck Creek Plaza
Condominiums (Lot 72, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek) would have an assigned
density of 7 Residential Development Rights.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The proposed density transfer appears to conform with zoning regulations. The
conversion of the proposed unit from office space to a residential unit would
reduce parking requirements for the project. One of the Goals for Development
District One is to "Permit the inclusion of lodging or residential uses within
commercial development,
