RE: Review Comment Letter #3 / ZMA-2018-00005 (Pantops Hotel — State Farm Boulevard)
Mr. Wright and Mr. Sweeney:
Members of Albemarle County staff and our partner agencies have reviewed your resubmittal
application materials (submitted 10/29/2018) for Zoning Map Amendment ZMA-2018-00005,
which requests approval of an Application Plan for an existing planned development district to
allow the development of a 130-room hotel on Tax Map Parcels #78-64 and #78-65.
Review comments are provided below, organized by Department, Division, or agency. Community
Development Department (CDD) staff believe the various review comments should be addressed
through a resubmittal of application materials, prior to scheduling a public hearing with the
Planning Commission. However, you have the right to request a public hearing without revision
and resubmittal, or to otherwise determine your course of action.
As always, CDD staff remain available to provide assistance and discuss this comment letter, and
any other aspect(s) of your applications, at your request. Please call me to discuss anything
contained in this letter, or the project or review process in general.

The following CDD-Planning review comments are organized as follows:

Comprehensive Plan:
Comments on how your project conforms to the Comprehensive Plan will be provided to the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the staff report that will be prepared for
the work session or public hearing. The comments below are in preparation for the Planning
Commission review, and may change based on direction from the Commission and/or with
subsequent submittals.
The property is located on Tax Map Parcel #78-64 and #78-65, which are within the Neighborhood 3
(Pantops) Comprehensive Plan Area within the Development Area. The future land use designations
for these properties, as specified in the Pantops Master Plan ("Master Plan"), is as follows:
Urban Mixed Use —
The front portions of these parcels along State Farm Boulevard are designated "Urban Mixed Use"
which envisions (future) "retail, commercial services, office, and a mix of residential types based
on the Urban Density land use category. This mixed use land use category is expected to have
equal parts of residential and commercial uses."
Parks —
The rear portions of these parcels are designated "Parks" which envisions (future) "public and
semi-public parks, greenways, and more active recreation areas."
Page 2 of 11
In summary, the proposed hotel is consistent with the Urban Mixed Use future land use
designation. In general, the proposal does not develop or otherwise utilize the majority of the areas
of the subject property(s) designated for (future) "Parks" use(s).
Proposal —
The proposal is to develop a 130-room hotel on two undeveloped parcels. The project proposal and
application plan provide additional details.
Neighborhood Model:
In 2001, the County adopted the Neighborhood Model. The Neighborhood Model was
developed to guide the "form" of development. The Neighborhood Model recommends that
the Development Areas and new development have these characteristics:
12 Principles of the Neighborhood Model:
1. Pedestrian Orientation
2. Neighborhood Friendly Streets and
Paths
3. Interconnected Streets and
Transportation Networks
4. Parks and Open Space
5. Neighborhood Centers
6. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale
7. Relegated Parking
8. Mixture of Uses
9. Mixture of Housing Types and
Affordability
10. Redevelopment
11. Site Planning that Respects Terrain
12. Clear Boundaries with Rural Areas
General comments on how well the proposed development meets the principles of the
Neighborhood Model are provided below. More detailed comments may be provided at a later date
if changes are made and/or after more detailed plans are provided.
Pedestrian
• Sidewalk and two crosswalks are proposed to provide safe, convenient
Orientation
pedestrian connection to the sidewalk along State Farm Blvd.
• Sidewalks are also proposed around the entirety of the structure.
• Street trees are proposed between the front property line and the curb/front
drive aisle.
• Landscape walls are proposed along a portion of the property's frontage, which
should contribute to a sense of spatial enclosure and enhance the pedestrian
orientation of the development (without bringing the primary structure any
closer to the ROW).
Principle is met.
Mixture of Uses
The land use designation of Urban Mixed Use anticipates a mixture of residential and
commercial uses in this area including retail, office, and service. A hotel would
contribute to a mixture of uses in this area.
Principle is met.
Page 3 of 11
Neighborhood
The development relates to the employment centers of State Farm Insurance and
Centers
Martha Jefferson Hospital. Proposal includes sidewalks and crosswalks from the front
hotel entrance designed to contribute to safe, convenient pedestrian connectivity
between the proposed hotel and nearby neighborhood centers in both directions of
State Farm Boulevard.
Principle is met.
Mixture of Housing
This principle is not immediately applicable — the proposed project is a hotel.
Types and
Principle is not applicable.
Affordability
Interconnected
The application plan provides a future interparcel connection to TMP #78-66 (to the
Streets and
southwest) to allow for future interparcel vehicular access and connectivity.
Transportation
principle is met.
Networks
Multi -modal
Staff acknowledge that bicycle racks have been proposed on the application plan.
Transportation
Principle is met.
Opportunities
Parks, Recreational
Portions of the rear areas of these two parcels are designated as "Parks" in the
Amenities, and Open
Pantops Master Plan. The application plan proposes minimal disturbance or
Space
development of the managed steep slopes within the "Parks" future land use
designation; the large majority of these managed steep slopes would remain
undeveloped.
More specifically, the application plan designates approximately 2.0 acres in the rear
portions of the subject properties as a "Proposed Easement for Future Park" in
support of the "Parks" designation on the future land use plan. The project narrative
includes a section titled 'Proposed Proffer to Address Impact" which states that "The
owner will reserve an easement over the northern 2.0 acres (final area to be
determined at site plan). At time of certificate of occupancy, owner will transfer
property to County for a future park."
Additionally, in connection with ongoing County efforts to update the Pantops Master
Plan, staff ask the applicants to evaluate the feasibility of reserving or dedicating
(future) public access along the northeastern side yard of the development to the
area designated for "Parks" future land use in the rear of the subject property(s).
Principle is met.
Page 4 of 11
Buildings and Space
When applied to this proposed project on the subject properties, this principle should
of Human Scale
be embodied by: a building situated close to, and having a spatial relationship with,
the public ROW; a building with an articulated facade and non -monumental massing;
and parking spaces relegated to the sides and rear of the building.
With the resubmittal materials provided on 10/29/2018, the proposed height of the
structure has been shown to be compliant with Zoning Ordinance Sections 25A.6 and
21.4 which provide a maximum building height of sixty-five (65) feet. The
resubmittal materials also show that the setback requirements are satisfied through
the location of the porte cochere relative to the front property line.
The application plan also includes several landscape walls along a portion of the
property's frontage, which should contribute to a sense of spatial enclosure and
enhance the pedestrian orientation of the development (without bringing the main
portion of the structure any closer to the ROW).
However, staff does not agree with the applicants that the proposal (as contained in
the resubmittal materials submitted on 10/29) meets the front stepback
requirements or intent. Staff have concerns about the proposed massing of the hotel
without any front stepbacks; and have additional concerns about the design and
appearance of the proposed northeast facade. See Additional Planning Comments #1
and #3.
Principle is not met, front stepbacks are not provided, and no request or justification to
waive or modify the front stepback requirements has been submitted with this ZMA
application.
Relegated Parking
As noted in the project proposal dated 6/18/2018, the application plan was revised
(in response to staff comments made in connection with the pre -application meeting)
to eliminate some parking between the primary structure and the public ROW.
Specifically, the application plan dated 6/18/2018 retains four (4) universal access
spaces and seven (7) additional spaces on the "hotel side" of the front drive aisle; but
the parking spaces originally proposed on the opposite side of the front drive aisle
(closer to State Farm Boulevard ROW) were eliminated, to allow the hotel to be sited
closer to the street. Staff acknowledge this compromise.
Principle is partially met.
Redevelopment
The subject properties are currently undeveloped.
Principle is not applicable.
Respecting Terrain
The rear portions of the parcels contain Steep Slopes (Managed) as well as a small
and Careful Grading
portion of Steep Slopes (Preserved) overlay districts. No preserved steep slopes are
and Re -grading of
impacted. The proposal does not impact or disturb a significant portion of these
Terrain
managed steep slopes, and terraced retaining walls are proposed for the portion
which is disturbed.
Principle is generally met.
Clear Boundaries
The subject properties are not adjacent to a Rural Area boundary.
with the Rural Area
principle is not applicable.

Additional Planning Comments:
Stepbacks: A front stepback is required for the proposed structure per County Code Chapter 18
("Zoning Ordinance") Sections 25A.6, 21.4, and 4.20(a). Staff does not agree with the
applicants that the proposal (as contained in the resubmittal materials submitted on 10/29)
meets the front stepback requirements or intent. The reliance on the Porte cochere to satisfy the
front stepback requirement is not acceptable, per the definition of Stepback in Zoning
Ordinance Section 3 ("Definitions") or per the technical requirements for front stepbacks in
Zoning Ordinance Section 4 ("General Regulations"), subsection 4.20(a). None of the proposed
stories which would begin above 40 feet in height or above the third story have been stepped
back from the stories below.
Therefore, staff believe the proposal should be revised and resubmitted prior to being taken to
the Planning Commission for a public hearing — either by complying with the front stepback
requirements, or by proposing to establish an alternative stepback requirement through a written
submittal of a special exception request for waiver or modification, pursuant to Zoning
Ordinance Section 8.2(b)(1), inclusive of your justification for the proposed waiver or
modification relative to the findings that must be made per Zoning Ordinance 8.2(b)(3).
2. Setbacks: The proposed primary structure is subject to minimum setback requirements and
maximum setback requirements per Zoning Ordinance Sections 25A.6, 21.4, and 4.20(a).
The proposal appears to comply with the applicable minimum setback requirements ("10 feet
from the right-of-way or the exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside of the right-
of-way; for off-street parking or loading spaces, 10 feet from any public street right-of-way.").
Additionally, staff acknowledge that the application plan submitted on 10/29 shows the Porte
cochere (which is technically considered to be part of the "structure") to be compliant with the
applicable maximum setback requirements ("30 feet from the right-of-way or the exterior edge
of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside of the right-of-way...").
And staff are generally supportive of the revised site layout you have provided on the
Application Plan dated 9/4/2018, particularly in regards to the revisions made to eliminate some
parking spaces and bring the drive aisle, port cochere, and main portion of the propose hotel
closer to the State Farm Boulevard public ROW. This is viewed as an acceptable compromise
which responds to the previous review comments regarding the Neighborhood Model
Principles, while still providing for the programmatic needs of your project.
Buildin,z Heikht, Viewsheds, and Visibility: The proposed hotel's height and location
(topographically prominent site) combine to create concerns about impacts to viewsheds from
State Farm Boulevard and from other locations in Pantops, as well as potential impacts to the
viewshed from Monticello.
Staff acknowledges the information specified on the revised Application Plan (dated
10/29/2018) which demonstrates that the proposed hotel's height (64' 11.5") would be in
compliance with the maximum building height regulations (65' max).
Staff also acknowledges the renderings (dated 10/26/2018) provided with the resubmittal
application materials. Thank you for providing additional detailed information about the
proposed hotel's appearance within the context of this site on Pantops.
Staff also acknowledges the recent coordination with Ms. Liz Russell, Manager of Planning and
Projects with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, to understand what concerns the Foundation
has and to discuss potential mitigation techniques. It is the understanding of Community
Page 6 of 11
Development Department staff that the Foundation has unresolved concerns about potential
impacts to the viewshed from Monticello relating to building size/height, building
materials/color palette, and parking lot visibility (and more specifically to unmitigated visibility
of vehicles which can produce long-distance glare when sunlight if reflected off of vehicles).
Specifically, on 8/30/2018, Ms. Liz Russell shared the following comments:
"...I have approximated the site of the proposed hotel and the line of sight from the North
Terrace of Monticello. Based on what I know about visibility of Pantops, this is going to be the
most "viewable" spot on the Mountaintop towards the site.
What this tells me is that we will — at certain times of the year — be viewing the hotel and
parking lot's south corner and fagade. However, based on the distance from Monticello, I feel
that with appropriate use of muted colors (on fagade and rooji, impacts to historic views can be
minimized. I have attached comments on the rendering — can you share the color palate for
exterior materials? I am concerned that light gray may read as white and be highly visible.
Please include proposed roof color as well. " And "...glare from vehicles in the parking lot can
be reduced via trees. Are there any trees planned at the corner of the site or along State Farm
Way? "
CDD staff requests updated information regarding the coordination with the Thomas Jefferson
Foundation, relating to the questions and concerns identified by Ms. Russell.
In addition to (and separate from) the comments, questions, and concerns identified by the
Thomas Jefferson Foundation, CDD staff also believe the design of the fagade on the northeast
side of the proposed building (facing towards the US 250 / Richmond Highway Entrance
Corridor) should be improved, as it appears to be a six -story wall that is devoid of any
architectural elements on floors 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Based on the two most recently -submitted
renderings (dated 10/25/2018 and 10/26/2018), it also appears that the fagade on the southwest
side of the building may be a similar or identical design.
Although the design is still conceptual at this stage, additional information on proposed
materials and additional design details would be beneficial, as staff believe that such a blank
wall in that location has an inappropriate appearance.
3. Proffer Statement: Proposed proffers should not be provided solely as a Note on the
Application Plan or as a statement in the Project Narrative. Specifically, per Zoning Ordinance
Section 33.22(B), all proffers must be provided in a separate "proffer statement" signed and
notarized by all applicable owner(s) or authorized agent(s).
Staff acknowledges submittal of a (draft) proffer statement dated 10/29/2018. Thank you.
4. Review Process: Staff acknowledge the request for deferral (pursuant to County Code § 18-
33.52) received 11/8/2018.
Moving forward, staff believes the questions, issues, and concerns identified in this comment
letter should be addressed through revision and resubmittal of the proposed application plan and
project narrative, to demonstrate compliance with County Code requirements or to otherwise
demonstrate a commitment to addressing and mitigating the potential impacts associated with
these questions, issues, or concerns.
More specifically, the primary unresolved items involve: a.) the front stepback requirements;
b.) the building's appearance, visibility, and impact on viewsheds; and c.) justification for the
proposed reduction in parking requirements (please see comment #5, below).
Page 7 of 11
However, you may request a date for a public hearing with the Planning Commission if you
wish to proceed without further revision.
Please review the attached Action After Receipt of Comment Letter memo for more
information about potential next steps. And please contact me to coordinate your preferred
course of action; I will be available to promptly respond and assist.
5. Required Parking Spaces: Staff acknowledge that the number of proposed parking spaces have
been reduced to accommodate previous review comments relating to Neighborhood Model
Principles, such as "Relegated Parking" and "Interconnected Streets and Transportation
Networks." For the proposed parking reduction for the hotel use, please provide a written
analysis and justification for the proposed use of a ratio of 0.92 parking spaces per guest room
(as opposed to using the standard ratio of 1.0 space per guest room, as otherwise required by
Zoning Ordinance Sections 25A.6, 21.3, and 4.12.6).
Specifically, any proposal to modify or waive the minimum number of required parking spaces
must be requested through a submittal of a request for waiver or modification pursuant to
Zoning Ordinance 8.2(b)(1), inclusive of your justification for the proposed waiver or
modification relative to the findings that must be made per Zoning Ordinance 8.2(b)(3).
CDD-Zoning staff have reviewed the email provided with the resubmittal application materials
(dated 10/29/2018, and sent from Mr. Peter Rudiwicz, Vice President, Architecture, Design &
Construction for Hilton — Focused Service Brand), and have determined that more information
is necessary in order to make a favorable finding. In seeking County approval to reduce the
minimum required number of parking spaces for this proposed hotel, additional information and
justification beyond "A parking ratio of 92% is approved for this project" would be necessary.
6. (Advisory) Additional Future Permitting Requirements: If this ZMA application is approved,
the proposed hotel development would be subject to approval of a Site Plan and Water
Protection Ordinance (WPO) Plan / VSMP Plan.
