Planning Department, Eagle County Engineering Department, Eagle County Resiliency
Department,public officials and agencies, the recommendations of the Planning Commission,
and comments from all interested parties,the Board approved the Application by a vote of 3-0
and further finds as follows:
THAT,the Application complies with the standards in ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m -
Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD, as set forth below:
1. Modification. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(1),the Application allows
for more efficient development within, and the preservation of,the entire PUD. The
modification applies to the entire PUD, including existing structures and uses, and is
consistent with the current development pattern of the existing PUD Guide and
Preliminary Plan as approved/amended in File numbers PD-291-93-A and PDA-
00046. Simplification to the calculation of gross floor area will make it more efficient
for County staff and PUD residents and developers to track development in the future
and increased residential space as well as an increase in building height for Building
N and increased facilities will ensure the PUD will be preserved as mixed-use
development.
2. Adjacent Properties. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(2),the Application
will not affect, in a substantially adverse manner, either the enjoyment of land
abutting upon or across the street from the Property or the public interest. The
Application is modest compared to the overall density of the project. View corridors
are not greatly impacted given the internal spacing of the Property. Current benefits to
2
llllll�
DocuSign Envelope ID:368824EE-D650-47DE-838C-88F9B462DC3A
the public interest include: increased height and density in an area of existing
development, open space, integration with public transportation, public events, and
diminished reliance on automobiles through mixed-use design. These attributes are
improved upon, not diminished by the Application.
3. Benefit. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(3), the Application is not being
granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person. The Application is applied
for by the Riverwalk Property Owners Association, representing the interest of
property owners throughout the entire 22.455 acre site. It provides benefits to
existing and future property owners within the PUD, Eagle County workers (through
deed-restricted housing), and the community at large, by accommodating additional
density in an appropriate location and providing potential commercial amenities.
Thus, the benefits provided by the PUD Amendment will apply to numerous people
and will not confer a special benefit upon any specific person.
4. Amendment. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(4), the Application will not
have the effect of extending the vesting period.
THAT,the Application complies with the standards in ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e -
Standards for Preliminary Plan for PUD, as set forth below:
1. Unified ownership or control. The Applicant is considered to control all lands
within the PUD. ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(1) provides that"for the purposes of
amending a PUD, written consent by the governing Home Owner's Association or
Property Owner's Association shall satisfy this standard" and that"the Home
Owner's Association, or Property Owner's Association, with a majority vote of its
constituents, may also apply for a PUD Amendment on behalf of all individual
property owners." The Application was submitted by the Riverwalk at Edwards
Property Owners Association. The Application further included a letter signed by
the president of the Riverwalk at Edwards Property Owner's Association stating
"in general, a majority vote of its constituents approves of the requested
amendments to the current Riverwalk at Edwards PUD." The record before the
Board establishes that the standard for unified ownership or control is satisfied.
2. Uses. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(2), uses allowed within the PUD
are consistent with uses allowed in Table 3-300, "Residential, Agricultural and
Resource Zone Districts Use Schedule", and Table 3-320, "Commercial and
Industrial Zone Districts Use Schedule". The Application does not propose new
uses for the PUD and no variations are required for uses. The total net area and
existing residential area are proposed to increase by 2,000 square feet, to
accommodate a roughly 21,918 square foot expansion of Building N.

DocuSign Envelope ID:368824EE-D650-47DE-838C-88F9B462DC3A
3. Dimensional Limitations.Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(3),the
dimensional limitations that shall apply to the PUD are those specified in the
PUD Guide. There are no Rear or Internal setback or dimensional modifications
proposed. The 55 foot height limitation proposed oil Building N is commensurate
with other buildings within the PUD.

has been demonstrated that off-street parking and loading requirements within the
PUD continue to conform to the standards of ECLUR Article 4, Division 1, Off-
Street Parking and Loading Standards. As set forth in the Application and the staff
report presented to the Board on October 4, 2022, the PUD currently provides 38
additional parking spaces beyond what is required for the development. This
number is established through analyzing the number of parking spaces allocated
per use under the PUD Guide and ECLUR and then considering a 20%mixed use
reduction. The Application does not propose a change to parking, and,upon
completion of the proposed Building N addition,there are an anticipated four(4)
additional spaces beyond the required parking allocation in conjunction with the
proposed uses and increase in residential space. In accordance with the PUD
Guide, no future change of use or new use can commence without demonstration
of adequate parking and the Riverwalk at Edwards Property Owner's Association
will be responsible for parking enforcement.
5. Landscaping. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(5), landscaping provided
in the PUD Guide shall continue to conform with the standards of Article 4,
Division 2, Landscaping and Illumination Standards. No changes to applicable
landscaping or illumination standards are proposed by the Application.
6. Signs. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(6), signage will continue to
comply with the standards outlined in the PUD Guide. No changes to signage
area proposed by the Application.

Solid Waste Disposal, Electrical, and Emergency Services: Solid waste disposal is
improved by the Application through the establishment of a trash compactor,
whereas, electrical service, fire protection, law enforcement and emergency
services are available to the PUD and are unchanged.
8. Improvements. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(8), the improvements
standards applicable to the development, are specified in Article 4, Division 6,

The PUD is developed and the Application will have minimal impacts related to
the site improvements, including roadway, sidewalk and trail, irrigation, drainage,
excavation and grading, erosion control, utility and lighting, water supply, and
sanitary sewer standards.
Roadway Standards: Proposed improvements will increase the morning peak
hour traffic generation for the Riverwalk PUD by about 5%, considered a minor
impact to the roads in the area. Other than the additional traffic, there are no
proposed changes to any roads.
Sidewalk and Trail Standards: The development is served by internal sidewalks
with connections to the Eagle Valley Regional Trail, and there are no changes
proposed to the existing sidewalks and trails.
Drainage Standards: As the site is already developed, there is minimal impact to
the site drainage from the proposed PUD Amendment. The location of the trash
enclosure will require a modification of the drainage, and the drainage design will
be reviewed for conformance with County standards when final plans are
submitted for permit review.
Excavation and Grading Standard and Erosion Control Standards: Any grading
and erosion control requirements will be addressed at the time of permitting for
any new construction or site disturbance.

The 2022 amendment to the PUD Guide allows for the development of up to 18 new
multiple family dwelling units. This addition of new floor area and dwelling units
triggers a requirement for the purchase of new water rights to serve these new dwelling
units. 2.14 acre feet of water rights dedication were purchased to serve the PUD for this
additional density from the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority. It should be noted
that there is flexible floor area within the PUD which allows for either residential or
commercial use. The 2022 amendment did not change this flexibility. There is no water
rights dedication required for the conversion of flexible floor area to either commercial or
residential use.
