GENERAL GUIDELINES
Purpose
❑ 1 The goal of the regulation of the design of development within the
designated Entrance Corridors is to insure that new development within the /-teekt.C- G ot✓c*Is"
corridors reflects the traditional architecture of the area.Therefore, it is the c* kri,,,a 141
purpose of ARB review and of these Guidelines,that proposed development
within the designated Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design CO' f ttL c'° `1`L\- y
characteristic of the significant historical landmarks, buildings, and eteud , , -ct ae& Zen
structures of the Charlottesville and Albemarle area, and to promote orderly God ��� _ / may
and attractive development within these corridors.Applicants should note yr �rti Ivy 7`' O
that replication of historic structures is neither required nor desired.
❑ 2 Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville and / . e.
Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of buildings, land,and �G a% 2w `� tee"—, wrSf,�
vegetation. In order to accomplish the integration of buildings, land,and
vegetation characteristic of these sites,the Guidelines require attention to ( ... 6LISw 11
four primary factors: compatibility with significant historic sites in the area;
the character of the Entrance Corridor; site development and layout; and
landscaping.
Compatibility with significant historic sites:
❑ 3 New structures and substantial additions to existing structures should G/..a•nr„
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 providecA
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 Cal
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
1
r
REF# GUIDELINE NOTES
varying tastes as well as special functional requirements.
Compatibility with the character of the Entrance Corridor �yj� /�❑ 5 It is also an important objective of the Guidelines to establish a pattern of �i `"C 444
cue%
compatible architectural characteristics throughout the Entrance Corridor in
order to achieve unity and coherence. Building designs should demonstrate 4 4/it)
sensitivity to other nearby structures within the Entrance Corridor. Where a x�i "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 Qi he a'`
significant historic sites in the area. �
Site development and layout Ltiyt Gi t Ake�an e�//
• 6 Site development should be sensitive to the existing natural landscape and 2 G,� c...�1` 6lYl
should contribute to the creation of an organized development plan. This ✓t—
may be•accomplished;to the extent practical, by preserving the trees and �ai^ °�t'�"J �y/
rolling terrain typical of the area; planting new trees along streets and ./ lam. ! Le- `7 i
pedestrian ways and choosing species that reflect native forest elements;
insuring that any grading will blend into the surrounding topography
thereby creating a continuous landscape;preserving,to the extent practical,
existing significant river and stream valleys which may be located on the
site and'integrating these features into the design of surrounding
development;and limiting the building mass and height to a scale that does
not overpower the natural settings of the site,or the Entrance Corridor. ,(
Landscaping �o`p r1-1.21 j,,{ C -A' 7r�Al at t4-4
❑ 7 The requirements of the Guidelines regarding landscaping are intended to �( � �, ..
reflect the landscaping characteristic of many of the area's significant /1j
historic sites which is characterized by large shade trees and lawns.
Landscaping should promote visual order within the Entrance Corridor and !4
help to integrate buildings into the existing environment of the corridor.
❑ 8 Continuity within the Entrance Corridor should be obtained by planting l�v
different types of plant materials that share similar characteristics. Such
common elements allow for more flexibility in the design of structures • /
because common landscape features will help to harmonize the appearance
of development as seen from the street upon which the Corridor is centered. -

_ andscaping
- ❑ 32 Landscaping along the frontage of Entrance Corridor streets should include
the following:
a. Large shade trees should be planted parallel to the Entrance Corridor ZA.,0 7-n.z l Z Coro-
Street. Such trees should be at least 3V2 inches caliper(measured 6 inches __
above the ground) and should be of a plant species common to the area.
Such trees should be located at least every 35 feet on center.
b. Flowering ornamental trees of a species common to the area should be
interspersed among the trees required by the preceding paragraph. The t
ornamental trees need not alternate one for one with the large shade trees. 4
They may be planted among the large shade trees in a less regular spacing
pattern.
c:In situations where appropriate, a three or four board fence or low stone j
wall,typical of the area,should align the frontage of the Entrance Corridor
street.
d.An area of sufficient width to accommodate the foregoing plantings and
fencing should be reserved parallel to the Entrance Corridor street,and
exclusive of road right-of-way and utility easements.
V33 Landscaping along interior roads:
a.Large trees should be planted parallel to all interior roads. Such trees
should be at least 2%A inches caliper(measured six inches above the ground)
and should be of a plant species common to the area. Such trees should be
located at least every 40 feet on center. - /

REF# GUIDELINE NOTES
a. Medium trees should be planted parallel to all interior pedestrian ways.
Such trees should be at least 2% inches caliper(measured six inches above /P1,0
the ground) and should be of a species common to the area. Such trees
should be located at least every 25 feet on center.
❑ 7 35 Landscaping of parking areas:
C// a. Large trees should align the perimeter of parking areas, located 40 feet on
center. Trees should be planted in the interior of parking areas at the rate of
one tree for every 10 parking spaces provided and should be evenly
distributed throughout the interior of the parking area.
b. Trees required by the preceding paragraph should measure 2V2 inches
caliper(measured six inches above the ground); should be evenly spaced;
and should be of a species common to the area. Such trees should be
planted in planters or medians sufficiently large to maintain the health of
the tree and shall be protected by curbing.
c. Shrubs should be provided as necessary to minimize the parking area's
impact on Entrance Corridor streets. Shrubs should measure 24 inches in
height.
❑ 36 Landscaping of buildings and other structures: d a.Trees or other vegetation should be planted along the front of long ✓�
buildings as necessary to soften the appearance of exterior walls. The
spacing, size,and type of such trees or vegetation should be determined by
the length, height, and blankness of such walls.
b. Shrubs should be used to integrate the site,buildings,and other
structures; dumpsters,accessory buildings and structures; "drive thru"
windows; service areas; and signs. Shrubs should measure at least 24 inches
in height.

Site Development and layout
Development pattern
/ 39 The relationship of buildings and other structures to the Entrance Corridor
street and to other development within the corridor should be as follows:
a.An organized pattern of roads, service lanes, bike paths, and pedestrian
walks should guide the layout of the site.
b. In general,buildings fronting the Entrance Corridor street should be
parallel to the street.Building groupings should be arranged to parallel the
Entrance Corridor street.
c. Provisions should be made for connections to adjacent pedestrian and
, dittl."
vehicular circulation systems.
d.Open spaces should be tied into surrounding areas to provide continuity
within the Entrance Corridor.
PIA il
e. If significant natural features exist on the site(including creek valleys,
steep slopes, significant trees or rock outcroppings),to the extent practical,
then such natural features shouldbe reflected in the site layout. If the
provisions of Section 32.5.2.n of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance
apply,then improvements required by that section should be located so as j
to maximize the use of existing features in screening such improvements
from Entrance Corridor streets.
The placement of structures on the site should respect existing views and
vistas on and around the site.
Site GradingIf
0 Site grading should maintain the basic relationship of the site to
surrounding conditions by limiting the use of retaining walls and by
shaping the terrain through the use of smooth,rounded land forms that
blend with the existing terrain.-Steep cut or fill sections are generally -cek1511
unacceptable.Proposed contours on the grading plan shall be rounded with
_ a ten foot minimum radius where they meet the adjacent condition.Final
grading should achieve a natural,rather than engineered,appearance. i
Retaining walls 6 feet in height and taller,when necessary, shall be
terraced and planted to blend with the landscape.

I
REF# GUIDELINE NOTES I
o 41 No grading,trenching, or tunneling should occur within the drip line of any
trees or other existing features designated for preservation in the final
V Certificate of Appropriateness. Adequate tree protection fencing should be
shown on,and coordinated throughout,the grading, landscaping and
erosion and sediment control plans.
r per' 42 Areas designated for preservation in the final Certificate of Appropriateness
V should be clearly delineated and protected on the site prior to any grading
activity on the site. This protection should remain in place until completion
of the development of the site. K
VL 43 Preservation areas should be protected from storage or movement of heavy n�
iJ equipment within this area.
44 Natural drainage patterns(or to the extent required,new drainage patterns)
should be incorporated into the finished site to the extent possible.
