Craig Worthy / Collins Engineering (Scott Collins) Magisterial District Rio Proposal To establish outdoor sales, storage and display parking. Context This parcel is located at a primary intersection in the County with commercial development surrounding it. Visibility This site is clearly visible from both the Rt. 29 and Rio Road Entrance Corridors. ARB Meeting Date September 8, 2020 Staff Contact Margaret Maliszewski, Khris Taggart PROJECT HISTORY A site plan was first approved for this site in 1977. The restaurant building was constructed in 1978, prior to the establishment of the Entrance Corridors, and a site plan amendment was approved in 1979. The ARB reviewed signs for the site in 1992 and 1998, reviewed minor modifications to the building and signage in 2004, and reviewed additional signage in 2011. In 2012 the ARB approved a re -roofing for the building. Two pre -application conferences were held for the current proposal in June 2020. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DETAILS A Special Use Permit is required for outdoor sales, storage and/or display of vehicles when the site falls within the Entrance Corridor Overlay District. The purpose of the requirement is to allow for review of potential visual impacts on the corridor. The ARB's recommendations on this application will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of the Special Use Permit request (SP-2020-14). The proposal consists primarily of the removal of the drive-thru and service structures and creation of parking spaces on the south and west sides of the building, reduction in the travelway and expansion of planting areas on the north and east sides of the building, and establishment of parking for customer, employee, and vehicle display throughout the site. ANALYSIS REF GUIDELINE ISSUE RECOMMENDATION GENERAL, GUIDELINES Purpose I The goal of the regulation of the design of development The existing restaurant building was constructed See recommendations, within the designated Entrance Corridors is to insure that new prior to the establishment of the Entrance below. development within the corridors reflects the traditional Corridors. It does not reflect the traditions of architecture of the area. Therefore, it is the purpose of ARB local historic architecture and the proposed review and of these Guidelines, that proposed development changes to the site will not alter that condition. within the designated Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design characteristic of the significant historical landmarks, Orderly and attractive development could be buildings, and structures of the Charlottesville and Albemarle promoted with additional appropriate area, and to promote orderly and attractive development landscaping and revised lighting and signage within these corridors. Applicants should note that replication that meet ordinance and guidelines of historic structures is neither required nor desired. requirements. 2 Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of buildings, land, and vegetation. In order to accomplish the 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 landsca in .

It does not reflect the traditions of area. Photographs of historic buildings in the area, as well as local historic architecture and the proposed drawings of architectural features, which provide important changes to the site will not alter that condition. exam les 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 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 varying tastes as well as special functional requirements.

Current illumination levels at the ground are not known. The applicant proposes no change to the lights. The ARB has consistently worked to minimize the visual impacts of parking lots by limiting illumination at the ground to 30 footcandles for display lots, and 20 footcandles for other uses, and by limiting pole li t height to 20' maximum. (Recent discussions have considered revising the maximum illumination level to 20 footcandles for all uses.) Introduction of this special use at this prominent location could be appropriate if balanced with lighting (poles and site and wall fixtures) that meet current guidelines and ordinance requirements. Such conforming lighting would be a great improvement on site and would support unity and coherence along the corridors.

Development X-Sections INTRODUCTION 1.1 Proiect Narrative The applicant is seeking a special use permit in accordance with Section 30.6.3(a)2(b) for display parking within a Highway Commercial zoning district. The special use permit shall allow for outdoor storage, display and/or sales of vehicles on the property for the existing HC zoning. The applicant is seeking a special use permit on the property to relocate his business from the City of Charlottesville to this site. The proposed property is located at the intersection of Seminole Trail and Rio Road, and is currently an existing fast food restaurant. The redevelopment of the site would include enhanced landscaping, screening, and buffers that are more consistent with the comprehensive plan and Rio/29 Small Area Plan. The existing building shall remain with the proposed development plan and special use permit application, and the building will be used for the auto dealership use. The applicant is requesting a special use permit for outdoor storage, display and/or sales of vehicles on the property for the proposed auto dealership within the entrance corridor. The use of the property and existing Application Plan 1680 Seminole Trail Auto Dealership Special Use Permit zoning allows for the auto dealership, and the use would be consistent with the other businesses currently in this area along this portion of the roadway. The proposed landscaping and greenspace buffer as shown on the application plan will help mitigate the use on the property from the intersection and entrance corridor, and will also create the needed separation zone between the property and Route 29 and Rio Road. Portions of the greenspace area may even be used to help enhance the Pedestrian Zone that was developed with the previous Route 29 and Rio Road improvements. 1.2 Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan The Places29 Master Plan is a master plan that was approved and adopted by the Albemarle Board of Supervisors to become a part of the Comprehensive Plan for the Northern portion of the Growth Area of the County. Within the Places29 Master Plan, guiding principles are given for the development of the properties within this Northern Growth Area. In addition, a small area plan, Rio29 Small Area Plan, was recently completed to guide the redevelopment of this central hub location within the Places29 Master Plan. The Rio29 Small area plan emphasizes on (3) vision elements, which are connectivity, character in design, and conservation of community public spaces and natural resources. This property is located within the Rio/29 small area plan and has a split comprehensive plan zoning on the property with Urban Core along Rio Road and the northern portion of the site and Core along the southern portion of the site. This is the highest intensity of uses within the Rio/29 small area plan. While the proposed special use permit on the property will use the existing building structure for the auto dealership, the applicant is proposing improvements to the site that are consistent with the Rio/29 Small Area Plan. The proposed site improvements include the development of a separation zone to help buffer the Rio Road and Route 29 corridor with additional greenspace and landscaping. The additional street trees, understory trees, and shrubbery will add landscaping and greenspace to the existing intersection and help mitigate the use on the property and the existing building. This is consistent with the creation of the Through Corridor along Route 29 and Rio Road, at this busy intersection. The greenspace and buffer area can also be used to help increase the Pedestrian Zone along the frontage of the property. While the existing building does not currently meet the recommendations on the site from the Rio/29 Small Area plan, the special use permit is proposing site changes that are consistent with the Rio/29 Small Area Plan. The site, with the current size of 0.691 acres, needs to be combined with the adjacent properties for a redevelopment of the existing building structure that is contemplated within the Small Area Plan. The applicant is proposing the site improvements now, with the intent that the property can be combined with the adjacent properties in the future for the building redevelopment in this area. The ultimate development of this property, which is just over 1/2 acre) needs to be part of the entire redevelopment of the parcels at this intersection. gm= 45-102A Northsi Library 61-120K 705+ 721 61-120 61-12OW 1650 1638 61-120P X 6 45106 / Legend -A/b45-106A (Note Some aems an map may nor appear in legend) 45-105A 1718 Q�d!/Q Parcel Into k ❑ Parcels Camp Plan Land Use Into 722 7p Urban Development Area Boundary 61-123D Comprehensive Plan Areas Crozet Master Plan Land Use ■ Greenspace' Neighborhood Density Residential L Neighborhood Density Residential Urban Density Residential 455 Mixed -Use 1700 Downtown Institutional s 61-123H Light Industrial N ■ See Crozet Masterplan Text �?
