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.

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

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.

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

nent Pattern
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 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.

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

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 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

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

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.
