Chair Hull called the meeting to order at 1:32 p.m. There were six people in attendance. Each
Commissioner was introduced. Chair Hull explained the process for accepting public comment at
today’s meeting. The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the
chronological sequence.
Chair Hull recognized Commissioner Nancy Hills for her hard work on the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Hills resigned her position effective January 1, 2017. A replacement has not been
appointed by the Larimer County Commissioners.
1. PUBLIC COMMENT
Pat Newsom/town resident was concerned about the amendment for attainable housing, and
wondered if it was to increase the population. She referenced the Housing Assessment’s
statement about the need for housing. She did not think we needed to be encouraging people to
move to Estes Park when no housing was available. She has lived here for many years and does
not want to see all the changes.
2. CONSENT AGENDA
Approval of minutes, November 29, 2016 Special Planning Commission meeting.
It was moved and seconded (Klink/Moon) to approve the consent agenda as presented and the
motion passed 4-0 with three absent.
3. REZONING REQUEST, LOT 2A, BEAVER POINT HEIGHTS; 927 MORAINE AVENUE (Sundeck
Restaurant)
Planner Gonzales reviewed the staff report. The subject property contains five legal lots, with the
western lots zoned A–Accommodations and the eastern lot zoned CO–Commercial Outlying. The
area proposed to be rezoned from A to CO is approximately 0.193 acres. This rezoning request is
in conjunction with an amended plat (staff-level review), which creates two legal lots from the
current six lots. The main objective of the amended plat is to clean up the plat. The rezoning
request will align the zoning with the new lot configurations. Because the existing built

environment will not be changed, the requirement for a Development Plan was waived. Service
providers can continue to adequately serve the area. Planner Gonzales stated the application was
routed to affected agencies and adjacent property owners, and no concerns or public comments
were received. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request with one condition of
approval.
Staff and Commission Discussion
There was brief discussion regarding the sewer service easement through the property.
Public Comment
Logan Johnson/applicant representative was available to answer questions.
Condition of Approval
1. The Amended Plat of Lots 1-4, 11 and 12, Beaver point Heights shall be recorded within
sixty (60) days of the staff-level approval date.
It was moved and seconded (Moon/Klink) to recommend approval of the rezoning request to
the Estes Park Town Board with the condition of approval, and including findings of fact and
conclusions of law, as recommended by staff and the motion passed 4-0 with three absent.
4. REZONING REQUEST, LOTS 2 & 3, BLOCK 1, FALL RIVER ESTATES; 1471 & 1551 DAVID DRIVE
Planner Gonzales reviewed the staff report, stating this application also included a staff-level
amended plat, which proposes adjusting the common boundary line between current Lots 2 and
3. The result will leave newly created Lot 2A with a split zone (E-1–Estate and RM-Multi-family
Residential). Approval of the rezoning request will bring the property into compliance with the
EVDC and designate only one zone district for the new legal lot. Planner Gonzales stated the
requirement of a development plan was waived for this application because no new development
is proposed in conjunction with the rezoning request. Planner Gonzales stated the application was
routed to affected agencies and adjacent property owners. Area service providers are already
providing service to the property. Staff recommends approval, with one condition of approval.
Staff and Commission Discussion
None
Public Comment
Chris Beatty/applicant representative was available to answer questions.
Condition of Approval
1. The Amended Plat of Lots 2 & 3, Block 1, Fall River Estates shall be recorded within sixty

6. REPORTS
A. Director Hunt reported on December 15, 2016, the Town Trustees and County Commissioners
held a joint hearing on the proposed EVDC amendment regarding vacation rentals. Exhibit A
(draft amendment) passed unanimously, and takes effect immediately. The Town Clerk and
Community Development departments are currently working on getting the renewals and
registrations for 2017 revised and mailed. There remain significant differences of opinion as to
how to regulate vacation homes with occupancies of nine and more. The adopted code
amendment can be view on the town website at www.estes.org/vacationrentals. Community
Development staff is working on a document regarding frequently asked questions. He stated
the regulations should serve us well. The Estes Park Board of Appeals and Division of Building
Safety are still in discussion regarding vacation homes, as is the Larimer County Building
Department.
B. Director Hunt reported the Downtown Plan is moving forward, with numerous meetings with
the consultants. He stated substantial progress should occur over the next four months. The
target report date is December, 2017.
C. Director Hunt reported there have been some delays with finalizing the hydrology report. A
draft report has been sent to FEMA for a peer review. The final hydrology report should be
presented to the public in late January or early February. Floodplain mapping will occur after
the adoption of the hydrology report by the Town Board. He understands the community is
anxiously awaiting the results. Concerns from other peer reviews will be addressed in the final
report.
D. Chair Hull inquired about the variance request by the Estes Park Resort. Planner Gonzales
stated a variance was approved for a 25-foot setback from the wetland, in lieu of the 50-foot
required setback. Staff has not yet received an application for further development on the
property. Director Hunt stated the subject wetland is not a jurisdictional wetland.
E. Commissioner Moon thanked Director Hunt for all the hard work completed on the vacation
home code amendment. Director Hunt stated it was a team effort, and was pleased it was

pan at the southwest corner of the property. The subject property is platted as
Lot 35 of the Grand Estates Subdivision and is currently vacant. The applicant
plans to design multiple four-unit buildings intended to be for rent, likely to be
located on the north side of the property with parking located to the south. A
sidewalk exists on the west side of the property, adjacent to Grand Estates

STAFF REVIEW: All applications for text or Official Zoning Map amendments
shall be reviewed by the EVPC and Board(s) for compliance with the relevant
standards and criteria set forth below and with other applicable provisions of this
Code. In accordance with Section 3.3.D “Standards for Review” of the EVDC, all
applications for rezoning shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable
standards and criteria:
1. The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the areas
affected.
Staff Finding: The proposed zone map amendment is necessary to address
changes in conditions in the area as there is a well-recognized need for more
diverse housing options in the Estes Valley. The subject property is an
underutilized commercial property that could serve the identified need for
low-cost housing and would increase housing options to Estes Park
residents. The site is not directly accessible from Big Thompson Avenue
which has created a hindrance for developing the property as a viable
commercial site; however, the near adjacency to the major roadway would
serve as an asset for multi-family development.
2. The development plan, which the proposed amendment to this Code would
allow, is compatible and consistent with the policies and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan and with existing growth and development patterns in
the Estes Valley.
Estes Valley Planning Commission, January 17, 2017 Page 4 of 5
507 Grand Estates Drive, Zoning Map Amendment
Staff Finding: The applicant has requested that the development plan
requirement be waived for this rezoning per Section 3.3.B.1 of the Estes
Valley Development Code:
“All applications seeking to amend this Code to allow a change from one
(1) zone district to a different zone district or seeking to amend this Code
by changing the permitted uses in any zone district shall be accompanied
by a development plan. This requirement may be waived by Staff if it finds
that the projected size, complexity, anticipated impacts or other factors
associated with the proposed development or subdivision clearly justify
such waiver.”
Staff has waived the requirement for a development plan because of the
small size and limited complexity associated with potential multi-family
development. Being 0.95 acres in size, the EVDC allows a maximum of 8
dwelling units on the site (or up to 16 units if classified as “attainable”
pursuant to Section 11.4 of the EVDC), which is a moderately low intensity of
use and comparable to adjacent multi-family development. Staff finds the
proposed RM zoning to be compatible with surrounding uses. The
configuration of the existing property has been evaluated by Staff and will
conform to the proposed zone district regulations of R-M (Residential Multi-
Family) in terms of minimum lot standards (i.e., area and width). The
Rezoning Site Plan provided by the applicant (see Exhibit B) also illustrates
compliance with RM zoning density and dimensional standards as set forth
in Section 4.3 of the EVDC. The development-plan waiver applies only to the
rezoning; a development plan would still be required at the time site layout is
determined.
The Estes Park Housing Authority conducted a needs assessment in 2016
that quantifies the community’s need for residential units to accommodate
current and projected demand for safe, attainable housing by residents and
the workforce. The Estes Park Housing Needs Assessment identifies a
need for between 890 and 1,040 rental housing units in the Valley by 2020 –
only three years from now. The rezoning would help implement the
recommendations as outlined in the Needs Assessment by initiating work on
the development of additional rental units that are scattered throughout
neighborhoods in the community and creating diversity in the rental inventory
in unit type, location and income targeting.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with Community Wide Policies noted in
the Comprehensive Plan, (Chapter 6, Section 5.0 Housing) by providing
housing infill within the existing urban area for permanent residents,
encouraging a variety of housing types and price ranges, as well as
encouraging housing for permanent residents of all sectors of the community
that are integrated into and dispersed throughout existing neighborhoods.
3. The Town, County or other relevant service providers shall have the ability to
provide adequate services and facilities that might be required if the
application were approved.
Estes Valley Planning Commission, January 17, 2017 Page 5 of 5
507 Grand Estates Drive, Zoning Map Amendment
Staff Finding: The property is currently vacant, but services are provided to
the site by the Town of Estes Park (electric and water), Upper Thompson
Sanitation District (sewer), Xcel Energy (gas) and the Estes Valley Fire
Protection District. The Estes Valley Fire Protection District has reviewed
the submitted materials and has no comments or concerns at this time.
Additionally, the Upper Thompson Sanitation District (UTSD) has no
objection to the proposed rezoning but did provide comments pertaining to
an easement and limitations to installation of future landscaping. All
comments were acknowledged by the applicant and the easement is now
indicated on the Rezoning Site Plan attached (see Exhibit B).
REFERRAL AND PUBLIC COMMENTS: The rezoning request was routed to
reviewing agency staff and adjacent property owners for consideration and
comment. All agency staff comments and concerns related to the rezoning
request are included in this staff report.
The public hearing for the rezoning request was publicly noticed in accordance
with the applicable public notification requirements of the Estes Valley
Development Code. No public comments have been submitted to the
Community Development Department.
POTENTIAL MOTIONS:
Below are the Planning Commissions’ options related to the rezoning request:
1. I find the application substantially meets the criteria above, and move to
recommend APPROVAL of the rezoning request to the Town Board of
Trustees with no conditions.
2. I find the application substantially meets the criteria above, and move to
recommend APPROVAL of the rezoning request to the Town Board of
Trustees with conditions as determined by the EVPC.
3. I find that the Applicant has not provided sufficient information to review the
application per the criteria above and move to recommend CONTINUANCE
of the rezoning request to the next regularly scheduled meeting.
4. I find that the application does not substantially meet the criteria above and
move to recommend DENIAL of the rezoning request.

507 Grand Estates Drive
Rezoning Request Statement of Intent
November 23, 2016
Revised January 2, 2017
Project Description
This is a request for a zoning map amendment, to re‐zone the subject property from C‐O
Commercial Outlying to R‐M Residential Multi‐family per Section 3.3 of the EVDC.
The site is bordered by a commercial property to the north (restaurant), a commercially zoned
property to the east (mixed commercial), multi‐family to the south, and across Grand Estates
Drive, multi‐family to the west.
In essence this is not a viable commercial property, and given the dire need for workforce
housing in the Estes Valley, the applicant believes that the highest and best use for this property
would be multi‐family. It is already bordered on two sides by RM, would not adversely impact
any existing single‐family developments, is close to a main arterial (Hwy 34) and the existing
bike path leading to the Town core.
The applicant has owned the property for over eight years and has considered numerous
attempts to develop the property commercially, none of which have been able to materialize.
For a commercial property, it is significantly handicapped by not having direct access to highway
34, while this near adjacency is an asset for an RM property.
Due in large part to the significant cost burden of creating a development plan ahead of any
approval for the underlying zoning; the applicant requests that the Community Development
Director waive the requirement for a development plan, per EVDC 3.3.B.1., and therefore the
requirement for a sketch plan review as well. If the zoning request is granted, a detailed
development plan in compliance with the EVDC would still be required for any proposed project.
At this time, the mostly likely path would be to design multiple four‐unit buildings intended to be
for rent. It is not known if they would be townhome style or stacked flats. If the attainable
housing/workforce housing bonus is adopted as proposed, there is a strong possibility that
additional units would be considered.
Site Access and Parking
Access is from Grand Estates Drive, off Big Thompson Avenue (Hwy 34). A concrete curbcut and
drive pan is existing at the southwest corner of the property. The likely location for building
development would be to the north side of the property, with parking located to the south.
More than adequate space exists for parking based on the current EVDC allowed density and
parking requirements associated with multi‐family housing.
Pedestrian Access
A sidewalk on the west side of the property, adjacent to Grand Estates Drive, is existing.
EXHIBIT A
Utility Service and Drainage
Utility service is provided to the project site. Electrical service is provided by the Town of Estes
Park Light and Power, located in the northeast corner; natural gas is provided by Excel Energy;
water ‐ including a fire hydrant ‐ is from Grand Estates Dr, and sewer service (UTSD) is located
along the south property line. Storm water would need to be specifically designed for a
particular development, but the property generally sheet flows currently to the southeast, with
a shallow drainage channel along the south property line.
Additional Standards for Review (3.3.D)
The EVDC lists three additional standards for review that apply to re‐zoning requests. This
project addresses these standards as follows:
1. The amendment is necessary to address changes in conditions in the areas affected: As
noted above, there is a crisis of affordable housing in the Estes Valley. In large part this
is due to a lack of property zoned multi‐family. This is an underutilized commercial
property that could quickly serve an identified need in the valley, were it to be rezoned.
2. Compatibility with the Comprehensive plan, and growth and development patterns: The
Comprehensive plan envisioned greater development in the town centers and along
highway corridors, moving to lesser densities as one moves out towards the edges of
the town. It also supports housing close to such arterials and pedestrian paths. This
property represents a transition zone from the highway commercial to the single family
residential further south, and as such is a near ideal location for RM zoning.
According to the Comp Plan (Chapter 4, Land Use), only 2% of the acreage in the Estes
Valley is currently zoned RM. The Estes Park Housing Needs Assessment identifies a need
for between 890 and 1,040 rental housing units in the valley by 2020 – only three years
from now.
The proposed rezoning complies with Community Wide Policies noted in the
Comprehensive Plan, (Chapter 6, Section 5.0 Housing) by providing housing infill within
the existing urban area for permanent residents, integrated into existing neighborhoods,
allows for redevelopment of a substandard area, and could provide much needed
affordable housing.
3. Adequate public facilities: a rezoning would create no burden on the Town to provide
utilities; all necessary supporting infrastructure is on‐property.
UTSD memo is acknowledged; easement is now indicated along the south property line.
