PUD GUIDE AND LAND USE RESTRICTIONS
July 5, 2016
A. Purpose
This PUD Guide Plan, as originally approved on February 5,2032, sets forth the land uses and
development standards for the Berry Creek/Miller Ranch PUD. This Guide Plan defines the
permitted uses of land, densities, building height and bulk, and other development standards
and regulations. The regulations found in this Guide Plan shall supersede those of the Eagle
County Land Use Regulations. Where this Plan is silent the provisions of the Eagle County Land
Use Regulations shall govern.
This Plan is intended to further the goals of the Eagle County Master Plan and Land Use
Regulations by creating development parameters to ensure this property is attractive, desirable,
and suitable and to provide for adequate, light,air, and access for emergency services.
This PUD Guide Plan, as amended,carries forward all provisions of the original PUD Guide Plan,
which remain in full force and effect except as amended herein specifically regarding the
Dimensional Limitations set forth for the development of a Community Center on Tract D, the
Housing Tract.
B. Development Review
The Preliminary Plan for Berry Creek/Miller Ranch creates large development tracts for future
development activities and projects that are not yet designed or detailed. The Preliminary Plan
provides for the development of Miller Ranch Road and conceptually shows where access to
this road may occur from individual tracts. Since building designs, landscaping, and parking
areas are not yet developed for these tracts; this section shall establish the review process by
which development applications on individual tracts will occur. The purpose of this review
process is to ensure that development occurring on each of the tracts is consistent with the
vision of the overall PUTD and Preliminary Plan.
1 . School District Tracts B, E, F, G and H.
The proposed development of such tracts shall be reviewed in accordance with the
applicable sections of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Statutory provisions require the
School District to submit a site development plan to the Planning Commission prior to
construction of any structure or building. In addition to the type of information and level
of detail provided as part of the site development plan required by Statute, the School
District will provide engineering detail for those elements of the site design which have
potential off-site impacts, such as drainage and points of access to public roads
sufficient to enable the County Engineer to review and provide recommendations to the
Planning Commission.
2. Recreation Tract C.Open Space Tracts I and J.
Prior to approval of any development activities or the issuance of a building permit on
Tracts C, I, and J, the Eagle County Planning Commission shall review and make a
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners on the site-specific
development plan. After the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall
recommend approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval of the site-specific
development plan. In its review of the site-specific development plan, the Planning
Commission shall consider the consistency of the plan with the approved PUD Guide,
preliminary plan, master circulation plan, and the master drainage plan for the PUD.
The Board of County Commissioners shall review and approve the site-specific
development plan. After the close of the public hearing,the Board shall approve,
approve with conditions, or disapprove of the site-specific plan. In its review of the site-
specific development plan, the Board shall consider the consistency of the plan with the
approved PUD Guide, preliminary plan, master circulation plan, and the master drainage
plan for the PUD.
A site-specific development plan shall identify the layout of buildings, roads and parking
areas, trails, landscape areas and other site features, landscape irrigation, and grading
and drainage improvements. The development plan shall also include architectural
design information sufficient to understand building design form, materials, and colors.
The development plan should be drawn to scale and with engineering detail sufficient to
allow for adequate review by the Eagle County staff and the Eagle County Planning
Commission, but not to the level of detail required for a building permit or construction
documentation.
3. Housing Tract D
A separate final plat for the housing tract, as provided in the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations,will be required prior to issuance of a building permit for development within
the tract.
Prior to or concurrent with the Board of County Commissioner's consideration of a final
plat for the Tract D, the Eagle County Planning Commission shall review and make a
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners on the site-specific
development plan. After the close of the public hearing,the Planning Commission shall
recommend approval, approval with conditions, or disapproval of the site-specific
development plan. In its review of the site-specific development plan, the Planting
Commission shall consider the consistency of the plan with the approved PUD Guide,
preliminary plan, master circulation plan, and the master drainage plan for the PUD.
The Board of County Commissioners shall review and approve the site-specific
development plan. After the close of the public hearing,the Board shall approve,
approve with conditions, or disapprove of the site-specific development plan. In its
review of the site-specific development plan, the Board shall consider the consistency of
the plan with the approved PUD Guide, preliminary plan, master circulation plan, and
the master drainage plan for the PUD.
The site-specific development plan shall identify the final layout of buildings, roads, and
parking areas, landscape areas and other uses, landscape irrigation, and grading and
drainage improvements. The development plan shall also include conceptual
architectural design information sufficient to understand building form, materials,and
colors. The development plan should be drawn to scale and with preliminary plan level
of engineering and other information sufficient to allow for adequate review by the
Eagle County Staff, the Eagle County Planning Commission and the Board of County
Commissioners.
The Eagle County Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners will
each hold a public hearing for consideration of the site-specific development plan. This
hearing shall be scheduled after notices is placed in a newspaper of general circulation
in Eagle County at least 10 days prior to the date of each of the respective hearings.

E. Design Guidelines
1 . Purpose and Intent
Development with BC/MR will be initiated by a variety of different entities and will
accommodate a variety of different uses, buildings and facilities. In order to provide a
framework to guide the design and development of such improvements and to establish
a degree of continuity and consistency in the built environment throughout the property,
design guidelines for Berry Creek/Miller Ranch will be established. It is not the intention of
these Guidelines to require all buildings to look the same or utilize the same materials.
Rather, the purpose of these Guidelines will be to encourage harmony in the
architecture and landscape design throughout the PUD. Further, the Guidelines will
establish a process for the review of all improvements and a minimum set of design
standards that will be applied to all future improvements.
2. Establishment of Guidelines and Design Review Committee
Prior to the issuance of a building permit or other permit that may be required for the
construction of any new building or structure, a design review committee (DRC) shall be
established and a comprehensive set of design guidelines shall be adopted by said
committee. The DRC shall consist of five (5) members as appointed by the School District
and Eagle County. Two (2) members shall be representatives appointed by the School
District, two (2) representatives shall be appointed by the County, and one member shall
be a citizen of the Edwards area appointed jointly by the District and the County. DRC
shall be provided staff support as deemed necessary.
The DRC shall be responsible for adopting design guidelines for BC/MR, for reviewing
development applications proposed within the PUD, and for other tasks as may be
outlined in the Design Guidelines.
3. Contents of Design Guidelines
The following is a general indication of the type and extent of design considerations to
be addressed by the Design Guidelines:
Site Planning Considerations
• Relationship between buildings and between buildings and parking areas, open
spaces, etc.
• Design/arrangement of parking areas, loading areas, etc.
• Building orientation to adjoining streets,trails,etc.
• Pedestrian connections/linkages between uses
• Public spaces
Landscape Design Considerations
• Treatment of public spaces
• Features to highlight/define entries
• Features to provide screening/buffers
• Features to define spaces
• Plant materials, sizes, quantities, etc.
• Walls and fencing
• Lighting
• Signage
Architectural Considerations
• Architectural style
• Building massing/roof heights
• Building materials
• Offsets/reveals/projections/etc.
• Building entries
• Facades/fenestration

attraction wildlife shall prohibited.
5. Within Open Space Tract I and J, dogs shall be kept on leash at all times.
G. Open Space Management
Tracts I and J have been designated Open Space in part due to the visual quality and
environmental sensitivity of this portion of the Berry Creek/Miller Ranch PUD.The purpose
of this land use designation is to protect and preserve the environmental characteristics
of this portion of the PUD while allowing for limited passive recreation use. In order to
ensure proper management and maintenance of these tracts, an open space
management plan shall be prepared and approved by the Eagle County Board of
Commissioners. Said plan shall address, but not be limited to the following:
• Establishing parameters for the use, location and design of any trail or trail system
that may be developed within Tracts I and J,
• Seasonal closures as may be necessary to minimize impacts on wildlife,
• The use, location and design of any vehicular parking areas,
• Dog control
• Vegetation control, and
• Fishing regulations, re:river access, etc.
It is anticipated that upon approval of the final plat for Berry Creek/Miller Ranch, the
ownership of Tracts I and J will be conveyed to Eagle County. An open space
management plan as generally described above shall be in place prior to or concurrent
with approval of the final plat for Berry Creek/Miller Ranch.
H. Illumination
The purpose of this section is to establish standards for controlling illumination to prevent
intense glare or direct illumination that could create a nuisance, detract from the use or
enjoyment of adjoining property or cause traffic hazards to motorists.
Parking lot lighting, street lighting and architectural lighting shall utilize "concealed
source" light fixtures. Such fixtures shall be designed and located so as t not cast glare
directly onto adjacent properties. The use of Low Pressure Sodium lamps is encouraged.
Streetlights and parking lot lights are encouraged to be no more than 20' off the ground.
The design and location of any lighting proposed for outdoor athletic fields and related
recreation facilities shall be considered during the development review of individual
development tracts in accordance with Section B. above.
