Context The surrounding area is a heavily developed commercial corridor. Automobile dealerships with vehicle display are located nearby, including the Malloy Ford property on the adjacent parcel to the north. Visibility The proposed development will be readily visible from the Entrance Corridor. ARB Meeting Date January 21, 2020 Staff Contact Margaret Maliszewski PROJECT HISTORY • The ARB reviewed a sign (ARB -1992-13S) for the Better Living Furniture site in 1992. • The ARB reviewed and approved the Malloy Ford auto dealership on the adjacent parcel to the north in 2016 and 2017 (ARB-2016-53, 16-90, 17-33, 17-128). • The Special Use Permits for outdoor display (SP-2016-11) and for the body shop use (SP-2018-18) on the adjacent parcel were approved in December 2016. • Expansion of the Malloy Ford body shop use to the Better Living Furniture site (SP-2018-05) was approved in October 2018.

A blank box does reflect the traditional architecture of the area. Therefore, it is the purpose of ARB not reflect the traditional architecture of the architecture of the area. review and of these Guidelines, that proposed development area. within the designated Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design characteristic of the significant 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 structures is neither required nor desired. 2 Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville The proposal relies on landscaping to mitigate See landscape and Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of the negative impacts of the architecture and recommendations, below. buildings, land, and vegetation. In order to accomplish the expansive parking. 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 Though the existing structure is typically Revise the design of the should respect the traditions of the architecture of historically viewed as dated in appearance, its design does EC -facing elevation to significant buildings in the Charlottesville and Albemarle minimally acknowledge the traditional reflect the traditional area.

Replication of the architecture of the area. 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.

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. 10 Buildings should relate to their site and the surrounding context of buildings. 12 Architecture proposed within the Entrance Corridor should use forms, shapes, scale, and materials to create a cohesive whole. 9 Building forms and features, including roofs, windows, The applicant proposes to demolish the front Revise the design of the doors, materials, colors and textures should be compatible 30,096 sf furniture showroom building, EC -facing elevation to with the forms and features of the significant historic leaving the rear warehouse portion of the reflect the traditional buildings in the area, exemplified by (but not limited to) the building to accommodate body shop architecture of the area. buildings described in Appendix A [of the design guidelines]. operations.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion: 1. The removal of a building to establish a parking lot adjacent to the EC 2. The proposed landscaping of the parking lot 3. The blank EC -facing building elevation Staff offers the following recommendations on the proposal: Regardingthe request for the Special Use Permit: Staff recommends that the ARB forward the following recommendation to the Planning Commission: The ARB has no objection to the proposed outdoors sales, storage and display with the following conditions: 1. Vehicles must be displayed or stored only in areas indicated for display or storage on the Concept Plan. 2. Vehicles for display must be parked in striped parking spaces. 3. Vehicles must not be elevated anywhere outside of a building on site. 4. Maximum light levels must not exceed 22.8 fc at the ground in the display lot and 20 fc in all other locations. 5. Maximum height of new pole lights (including bases and fixtures), must not exceed 20'. 6. The site must be landscaped in general accord with the Concept Plan, except that: a. The minimum depth of the planting island adjacent to the easternmost parking row must be 10'. The depth must be increased as necessary to avoid damage to trees from tractor -trailer movements. b. The planting island adjacent to the easternmost parking row must contain a minimum of 4 large shade trees, 21/2" caliper at planting, interspersed ornamentals, and a row of shrubs. c. Trees and shrubs must be added in the existing island adjacent to Rt. 29. d. Interior parking lot trees must be added in the double- and triple -parking rows. e. Shrubs provided at the perimeter of the display area must be a minimum of 30" high at planting. 10 f. A row of shrubs and one large shade tree, 2%2" caliper at planting, must be added along the south side of the southernmost parking row. g. The ARB may require landscaping that is in excess of its design guidelines, Albemarle County Code § 18-32.7.9, or both, in order to mitigate the visual impacts of the proposed use on the Entrance Corridor. Recommended changes to the proposed building renovation: 1. Revise the design of the EC -facing elevation to reflect the traditional architecture of the area. 2. Revise the proposal to reflect human scale integral to the architectural design. 3. Revise the proposal to incorporate design details that relieve blankness on the EC -facing elevation. 4. Indicate new and existing equipment locations on the plans. 5. Add the standard equipment note to the site and architectural plans. "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated." Recommended changes to the site plan: 1. Indicate new and existing equipment locations on the plans. 2. Add the standard equipment note to the site and architectural plans. "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated." 3. Add a row of shrubs and one large shade tree, 21/2" caliper at planting, along the south side of the southernmost parking row. 4. Add the standard plant health note to the site plan. "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant." 5. Show tree protection on the site plan. 6.
