Proposal
To construct a 16,800 sf addition with associated site improvements.
Context
The existing building is set back approximately 350' from the Airport Road Entrance Corridor. The Laurel Hill Baptist
Church is located across Grand Forks Blvd. to the west, with a residential development beyond. Residences and an
entrance to the UVA Research Park are located across Airport Road to the north. The Hollymead Town Center is located
to the south. Residential and commercial properties are located to the east.
Visibility
The existing building is visible from the Airport Road Entrance Corridor. It is most visible traveling east on the corridor;
the north and west elevations are visible from that vantage. Traveling westbound, only the north elevation is visible, as
the topography screens the view of the east elevation. The existing north elevation has little architectural detail and
appears mostly blank from the road. The proposed addition will have greater visibility than the existing front elevation
due to its location 80' closer to the road.

PROJECT HISTORY
The existing building at this site was constructed in 1998 to house the US Postal Service. As a federal property, it was not subject to County site plan
regulations. Airport Road was designated an Entrance Corridor in 2000. MicroAire occupied the facility in 2011.

review and of these Guidelines, that proposed development
within the designated Entrance Corridors Feflect elements of
sign characteristic of the signiticant historical landmarks,
buildings, and structures of the Charlottesville and Albemarle
area, and to promote orderly and attractive development within
these corridors. Applicants should note that replication of historic
tructures is neither required nor desired.
2
Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville
and Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of
buildings, land, and vegetation. In order to accomplish the
integration of buildings, land, and vegetation characteristic of
these sites, the Guidelines require attention to four primary
factors: compatibility with significant historic sites in the area;
the character of the Entrance Corridor; site development and
layout; and landscaping.
3
New structures and substantial additions to existing structures
should respect the traditions of the architecture of historically
significant buildings in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area.
Photographs of historic buildings in the area, as well as drawings
of architectural features, which provide important examples of
this tradition are contained in Appendix A.
4
The examples contained in Appendix A should be used as a guide
for building design: the standard of compatibility with the area's
historic structures is not intended to impose a rigid design
solution for new development. Replication of the design of the
important historic sites in the area is neither intended nor desired.
The Guideline's standard of compatibility can be met through
building scale, materials, and forms which may be embodied in
architecture which is contemporary as well as traditional. The
Guidelines allow individuality in design to accommodate varying
tastes as well asspecial functional requirements.
5
It is also an important objective of the Guidelines to establish a
pattern of compatible architectural characteristics throughout the
Entrance Corridor in order to achieve unity and coherence.
Building designs should demonstrate sensitivity to other nearby
structures within the Entrance Corridor. Where a designated
corridor is substantially developed, these Guidelines require
striking a careful balance between harmonizing new development
with the existing character of the corridor and achieving
compatibility with the significant historic sites in the area.
Structure design
9
Building forms and features, including roofs, windows, doors,
materials, colors and textures should be compatible with the
forms and features of the significant historic buildings in the area,
exemplified by (but not limited to) the buildings described in
Appendix A [of the design guidelines]. The standard of
compatibility can be met through scale, materials, and forms
which may be embodied in architecture which is contemporary as
well as traditional. The replication of important historic sites in
Albemarle County is not the objective of these guidelines.
10
Buildings should relate to their site and the surrounding context
of buildings.
11
The overall design of buildings should have human scale. Scale
should be integral to the building and site design.
12
Architecture proposed within the Entrance Corridor should use
forms, shapes, scale, and materials to create a cohesive whole.
13
Any appearance of "blankness" resulting from building design
should be relieved using design detail or vegetation, or both.
14
Arcades, colonnades, or other architectural connecting devices
should be used to unify groups of buildings within a
development.
15
Trademark buildings and related features should be modified to
meet the requirements of the Guidelines.
16
Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should not be highly tinted
or highly reflective. Window glass in the Entrance Corridors
should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance
(VLT) shall not drop below 4001o. Visible light reflectance (VLR)

27
The height and scale of freestanding, pole -mounted light fixtures
should be compatible with the height and scale of the buildings
and the sites they are illuminating, and with the use of the site.
Typically, the height of freestanding pole -mounted light fixtures
in the Entrance Corridors should not exceed 20 feet, including the
base. Fixtures that exceed 20 feet in height will typically require
additional screening to achieve an appropriate appearance from
the Entrance Corridor.
28
In determining the appropriateness of lighting fixtures for the
Entrance Corridors, the individual context of the site will be
taken into consideration on a case by case basis.
29
The following note should be included on the lighting plan:
"Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000
or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be
arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining
residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover
of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in
residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half
footcandle.
Guidelines for the Use of Decorative Landscape Lighting
30
Light used for decorative effect shall:
a. be compatible with the character of the Entrance Corridor.
Compatibility of exterior lighting and lighting fixtures is assessed
in terms of design, use, size, scale, color, and brightness.
b. impact only the immediate site. The effect of the illumination
should not be discernible from distances along the Entrance
Corridor.
31
Where used for decorative effect, outdoor light fixtures shall:
a. be equipped with automatic timing devices and shall be
extinguished between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and dawn.
b. be shielded and focused to eliminate glare. Glare control shall
be achieved primarily through the use of such means as cutoff
fixtures, shields and baffles, and appropriate application of
mounting height, wattage, aiming angle, fixture placement, etc.
c. be cutoff luminaires, aimed so as not to project their output
beyond the objects intended to be illuminated; or non -cutoff
luminaires, equipped with glare shields, visors, barn doors, and/or
other similar shielding accessories as required to meet the
following criteria: Light distribution from all lighting installations
shall be cut-off at all angles beyond those required to restrict
direct illumination to within the perimeter of the landscape
feature being illuminated.
d. never exceed 3,000 lumens. Further restrictions on lumens may
be imposed by the ARB.
e. not be modified to reflect seasonal colors.
f. be of a number that is compatible with the scale of the object
and the development to be illuminated, such that the light emitted
will not oveiiilluminate or overpower the site, as determined by
the ARB.
