I. Purpose
The purpose of the Willits Bend PUD Guide is to serve as the land use and development
regulations and guidelines that in this PUD. This PUD Guide regulates the use of land, area and
bulk, height, permitted uses, and provides supplementary regulations and standards that will be
carried out in the PUD, allowing for certain flexibility and creativity in the project design and
final allocation of uses and square footage within the PUD. These standards and restrictions are
more appropriate to and based on the specific conditions at this location.
Flexible space permits the developer to choose which of the allowed uses are best suited for a
particular location in the development and how the allowed square footage will be allocated
within the PUD to best satisfy market demand. Performance and design standards are established
in this PUD Guide to ensure compatibility among uses in the PUD and with the surrounding
neighborhood. The PUD Guide also establishes the responsibility of the Master Association to
require conformance with such standards. Finally, the PUD Guide establishes the authority of
Eagle County to enforce these requirements in the Willits Bend PUD.
H. Intent
Willits Bend PUD is intended to be a mixed-use commercial and light industrial development,
which is a critical need in the mid-valley area, which allows and encourages on-site live/work
opportunities. There will be nine condominiumized buildings. The exterior surfaces of buildings
and all areas around them, including streets, parks and landscaping will be common elements.
Condominium units within each building will be sold or leased. The project intends to allow
residential units in appropriate locations in the project. A variety of restrictions and marketing
approaches will be applied under this PUD Guide to facilitate attainable housing and commercial
spaces.
There may be up to but not more than 92,555 square feet of floor area in the project. The total
building ground coverage is 41,182 square feet. The remaining square footage will occur in
second or third stories, or within allowed mezzanines.
The project will be developed according to the PUD Site Plan attached herewith as Exhibit 1.
Ill. Definitions Specific to Willits Bend PUD
Unless otherwise defined here, all terms in this PUD Plan will be as defined by the Eagle County
Land Use Regulations. If it is determined that any definition in the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations is in whole or partially in with a definition established herein, then the interpretation
will favor consistency with the definitions provided in this PUD Guide.

Standards are provided to ensure that uses in the PUD do not infringe upon one another. They
will also ensure that uses within the PUD do not adversely affect neighboring uses outside the
Willits Bend PUD Guide Page 17
6/5/2006
PUD.
It shall be the responsibility of the Master Association to ensure that all uses with the Willits Bend
PUD comply with these performance standards. Enforcement by the Master Association shall
occur according to procedures established in this Section or in the Conditions, Covenants and
Restrictions, whichever is more restrictive. Eagle County, under the terms of this PUD Guide,
retains enforcement authority.

WILLITS BEND
LOCAL RESIDENT HOUSING PLAN
Willits Bend will contribute directly to the ongoing effort to establish an adequate supply
of housing that is financially attainable by individuals who live and work in the Roaring Fork
Valley by providing funds for that purpose through the two (2) methods described below and by
providing at least four (4) restricted live/work condominium units which are also described
below.
1. Real Estate Transfer Assessment. By private covenant enforceable by the County, the
initial and all subsequent owners of 100% of the condominiumized commercial space and
residential units will be obligated to pay an assessment upon the initial sale and all resales
of such space or units. The funds generated by the assessment will be paid to the County
and will be disbursed at the direction of the County to provide funding for attainable
resident housing in the Roaring Fork Valley. The assessment will be 1 % of the
consideration paid upon sale or resale and will be due at the time of closing. There will
be no increase or decrease in the amount of the assessment based on the length of
ownership. The RET A will be payable by the Seller. Applicant will establish a
procedure, similar to that utilized by the City of Aspen for its real estate transfer tax, to
facilitate payment and collection of the assessment in conjunction with the closing on the
sale of commercial and residential condominium units. The procedure will include a
description of exempt transfers and the method by which such exemptions can be
obtained.
2. Payment-in-Lieu. In addition to the Real Estate Transfer Assessment described above,
the Applicant will pay a flat In-Lieu Housing Fee in the amount of$379,139.86. The In-
Lieu Fee will be payable on a square footage basis upon the issuance of Certificates of
Occupancy for the individual units within Willits Bend. The square footage rate is $4.12.
3. Use of Funds. The Real Estate Transfer Assessments and In-Lieu Fees collected by the
County will be utilized by the County to promote affordable housing development in the
Roaring Fork Valley to the greatest extent possible.
4. Live/Work Units. At least four (4) restricted "LivelWork" units will be provided within
Willits Bend. Those four (4) units comprise twenty-five percent (25%) of the restricted
maximum number of units allowed. The Live/Work units will be selected and designated
by the developer and made subject to a recorded covenant or deed restriction. The
covenant will be patterned after a similar covenant concerning occupancy and resale for
resident occupied units in the Willits Town Center POD. A LivelWork unit is a separate
condominium space within Willits Bend that must contain a residential component and
may include a workspace. The Live/Work unit may only be sold to a "qualified buyer"
defined as a natural person and hislher immediate family who is employed full-time in
the Roaring Fork Valley. There will be no priority among qualified buyers and no asset
or income limitations. But, the qualified buyer must occupy the Live/Work Unit as their
primary residence.
