[Figure 1] Zoned Planned Development Mixed Community (PDMC)/Entrance Corridor (EC)/Monticello Viewshed (MV) Owner/Applicant Presidio Pantops LLC/Riverbend Development (Ashley Davies) Magisterial District Rivanna Proposal To build six, four-story apartment buildings that approximately encompass 57,340 gsf and a clubhouse as well as associated site improvements. Context and Visibility The 27-acre parcel lies between two Entrance Corridors, Richmond Road (Route 250 E) and Interstate 64 but will only be visible from the latter. Sited on a hilltop, the buildings will be clearly visible in gaps in the extant treeline that spans the 400-foot distance between the northern edge of the westbound lanes of I-64 and the southernmost property line.

N T ARB SUBMISSION JUNE 23, 2019 REF GUIDELINE 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 10 11 12 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. 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. Buildings should relate to their site and the surrounding context of buildings. The overall design of buildings should have human scale. Scale should be integral to the building and site design. Architecture proposed within the Entrance Corridor should use forms, shapes, scale, and materials to create a cohesive whole. CURRENT ISSUE The style of the proposed apartment buildings is contemporary, and the applicant has stated that the material selection and color palette are consistent with that which has been employed at nearby Martha Jefferson Hospital, including the use of brown and tan lap siding, stone, and dark grey metal: Six apartment buildings and a clubhouse are proposed, although the latter will not be visible from the I-64 EC. The forms — rectangular volume, hipped roof — are standard for residential typologies, while the massing of these four-story edifices attempts to achieve a human scale by providing a stone and Hardie Panel base on the first floor of the three-story elevations and the first two floors on the four-story elevations; this is differentiated from the upper two stories with lap siding in two different materials/colors. The long elevations are also broken vertically into three sections, with a clear central core flanked by "wings;" this traditional division also helps mitigate the massing and provide a more human scale. RECOMMENDATION None. Provide dimensioned architectural elevations and floor plans as well as material and color samples with the Final Site Plan submittal.

Arcades, colonnades, or other architectural connecting devices should be used to unify groups of buildings within a development. Trademark buildings and related features should be modified to meet the requirements of the Guidelines. Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should not be highly tinted or highly reflective. Reflectance off the outside pane of glass should be kept below 7%. Specifications on the proposed window glass and samples of tinted window glass should be submitted with the application for final review. Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%. structures and Accessory structures and equipment should be integrated into the overall plan of development and shall, to the extent possible, be compatible with the building designs used on the site. The following should be located to eliminate visibility from the Entrance Corridor street.

Above - utilities, and CURRENT ISSUE Martha Jefferson Hospital, ranges from orange to blue yet reflects the natural hues of rocks quarried in this region. The Hardie Panel is a dark brown, while the lap siding comes in an ash grey (CertainTeed Cedarboards) and medium brown (Woodtone Rustic Series). The trim color is a dark grey, while the window frames will be a light grey. The color of the roof and the roofing material has not been provided in the materials finish sheet [see Figure 4]. Since the roof expanses will be visible from the EC, the color of the roofing is important to determine. Blankness has been resolved through the use of copious fenestration and balconies. No connecting devices are proposed, and while these buildings do not exhibit an obvious trademark quality, they are similar to contemporary residential developments in this area. The applicant's submission has noted that the window glazing will meet EC standards in terms of VLR and VLT limits, and the note has been provided on this conceptual application. However, it should also be included on architectural elevations submitted in future review. As seen in the conceptual site plan [Figure 51, a swimming pool is proposed near the center of the development, west of the clubhouse. The conceptual site plan does not show loading, service, storage, or refuse areas, but the Initial Site Plan proposed a dumpster south of one of the buildings. Further accessory structures may include mail kiosks or other like structures. It is not believed that these will be visible from the EC, however. If mechanical equipment is ground -mounted, it is unlikely to be visible from the EC, but should be illustrated on the final site plan nonetheless; if rooftop mechanical RECOMMENDATION Provide the locations of all accessory structures and any ground -mounted mechanical equipment on the Final Site Plan.

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 vehicular circulation systems. d. Open spaces should be tied into surrounding areas to provide continuity within the Entrance Corridor. 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 should be 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 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. The proposed buildings are 3 and 4 stories tall but take advantage of the sloping terrain. This height is consistent with the taller parts of the nearby hospital. The sloping topography may help to integrate this height into the surroundings. An interior road stemming from Peter Jefferson Parkway establishes a boundary for parking and buildings on the north side of the parcel. Travelways feed off this road into various parking lots. The six buildings are scattered throughout the site, between the parking lots and travelways. A shorter entrance road is also provided in a central location, aligning with the clubhouse at the heart of the complex. The subject parcel does not front the I-64 EC and the proposed buildings are not oriented parallel to the EC. Given the character of travel on I-64, the proposed orientation appears acceptable. Sidewalks are conceptually proposed along a portion of Peter Jefferson Parkway as well as within the development, providing provisions and connections to pedestrian circulation in addition to the connections to vehicular transportation networks. There are open spaces on the west and south sides of the development hinted at, if not fully illustrated, in this conceptual plan and in site perspectives provided within the application package [Figure 6]. Because of the incomplete nature of the conceptual site plan, staff has included the Overall Layout plan that was reviewed with the Initial Site Plan in this staff report [Figure 7]. From that plan, one can ascertain that a stormwater management facility will be located in the southern portion of the site. Provide a full site plan set for Final Site Plan review. REF GUIDELINE CURRENT ISSUE RECOMMENDATION The parcel is partially wooded and slopes down to the river. Current views of the site from the EC are of a wooded area. From some vantage points, overhead power lines and support towers are visible. This view will change with the addition of apartment buildings visible from the EC. [see Figure 2] The hospital can be viewed from some distant vantage points on the interstate. It is unclear whether the apartment buildings will have similar visibility from more distant vantage points.

Steep cut or fill sections are generally 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. Retaining walls 6 feet in height and taller, when necessary, shall be terraced and planted to blend with the landscape. No grading, trenching, or tunneling should occur within the drip line of any trees or other existing features designated for preservation in the final Certificate of Appropriateness. Adequate tree protection fencing should be shown on, and coordinated throughout, the grading, landscaping and erosion and sediment control plans. Areas designated for preservation in the final Certificate of Appropriateness 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. No grading, trenching, or tunneling should occur within the drip line of any trees or other existing features designated for preservation in the final Certificate of Appropriateness. Adequate tree protection fencing should be shown on, and coordinated throughout, the grading, landscaping and erosion and sediment control plans. Preservation areas should be protected from storage or movement of heavy equipment within this area. Natural drainage patterns (or to the extent required, new drainage patterns) should be incorporated into the finished site to the extent possible. Preservation areas should be protected from storage or movement of heavy equipment within this area. Surface runoff structures and detention ponds should be CURRENT ISSUE According to the conceptual site plan and site perspectives (as well as the review of the Initial Site Plan), significant grading and retaining walls are proposed to accommodate the development. The walls at the north end of the site are not expected to have a significant visual impact on the EC, but the walls at the presumed stormwater management facility at the south end may be visible. If the retaining walls exceed 6' in height, they must be terraced and landscaped. An image of the stone proposed for the retaining walls has been provided in this conceptual package, and the color is a muted orange selected to reference the stone veneer used at Martha Jefferson Hospital and proposed for the buildings here. A detail and the brand name and color of the proposed stone should be included in the final site plan set. Extant treelines are shown at the edges of the site but are not marked as a preservation area. Tree protection fencing should be marked on the site plan set. RECOMMENDATION Provide a detail of the retaining walls in the Final Site Plan set. Provide the brand name and color of the stone on the plan. Clearly identify on the plan all tree preservation areas and show adequate tree protection fencing on the site plans submitted for Final Site Plan review. z REF I GUIDELINE I CURRENT ISSUE I RECOMMENDATION 32 designed to fit into the natural topography to avoid the need for screening. When visible from the Entrance Corridor street, these features must be fully integrated into the landscape. They should not have the appearance of engineered features. The requirements of the Guidelines regarding landscaping are intended to reflect the landscaping characteristic of many of the area's significant historic sites which is characterized by large shade trees and lawns. Landscaping should promote visual order within the Entrance Corridor and help to integrate buildings into the existing environment of the corridor. Continuity within the Entrance Corridor should be obtained by planting 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. Landscaping along the frontage of Entrance Corridor streets should include the following: a. Large shade trees should be planted parallel to the Entrance Corridor Street. Such trees should be at least 3'/Z 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 ornamental trees need not alternate one for one with the large shade trees. 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 wall, typical of the area, should align the frontage of the Entrance Corridor street. No landscape plan was submitted with this conceptual package, but the site plan provided suggests that trees will be provided along the roads, travelways, and in medians in the parking lots as well as scattered throughout the site. Landscaping, in particular large trees throughout the site, will help integrate the apartment buildings with the surroundings and thereby promote visual order in the EC. The subject parcel has no EC frontage and therefore this criterion is not applicable. There is another parcel and right-of-way between the subject parcel and the EC. Both are wooded. Although VDOT may choose to retain the trees in the right-of-way, the wooded parcel may be developed in the future, and neither the neighboring property (which is privately owned) nor the right-of-way can be entirely relied upon as a permanent landscape buffer. Submit a landscape plan with a landscape schedule for the Final Site Plan review. None. REF GUIDELINE CURRENT ISSUE RECOMMENDATION d.
