REF# GUIDELINE NOTES
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 corridors
reflects the traditional architecture of the area. Therefore,it is the purpose of ✓���%t
ARB review and of these Guidelines,that proposed development within the 1 �
designated Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design characteristic of the 1�f.< (A4 C
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 and Albemarle [� -'e5t.
1 area experience these sites as ensembles of buildings,land,and vegetation. In
order to accomplish the integration of buildings, land,and vegetation (A)/l el—AA' � 'L- _I/
characteristic of these sites, the Guidelines require attention to four primary
U
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 respect -
C,,cy cam'
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 provide 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
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.

Compatibility with the character of the Entrance Corridor
5 It is also an important objective of the Guidelines to establish a pattern of
compatible architectural characteristics throughout the Entrance Corridor in 7)-P AA, /-
order to achieve unity and coherence.Building designs should demonstrate I I ,.-",,,3k,., CSC r� L„
sensitivity to other nearby structures within the Entrance Corridor. Where a �,,f
designated corridor is substantially developed,these Guidelines require ___---, �
striking a careful balance between harmonizing new development with the3 C.-
existing character of the corridor and achieving compatibility with the G

building designs used on the site.
❑ 18 The following should be located to eliminate visibility from the Entrance
Corridor street.If,after appropriate siting,these features will still have a J ,
J / „t
negative visual impact on the Entrance Corridor street,screening should be �,` yj'�S�4'
provided to eliminate visibility.
a.Loading areas, b. Service areas,c.Refuse areas,
d. Storage areas,e. Mechanical equipment,
f.Above-ground utilities, and

devices.
❑ 19 Screening devices should be compatible with the design of the buildings and
surrounding natural vegetation and may consist of:
a.Walls, b. Plantings, and c. Fencing.
O 20 Surface runoff structures and detention ponds should be designed to fit into At,6
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.

plan: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor
shall be eliminated."
o 36 Landscaping of buildings and other structures:
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.

dumpsters,accessory buildings and structures; "drive thru"windows; service
areas; and signs. Shrubs should measure at least 24 inches in height.

Lighting _
-� General Guidelines
❑ ) 22 Light should be contained on the site and not spill over onto adjacent /1 A(6-0-zy� l
1` _ properties or streets; /- 1
❑ 23 Light should be shielded, recessed or flush-mounted to eliminate glare. GA -�a ��/ �

fixtures.
/ k0
o 24 Light levels exceeding 30 footcandles are not appropriate for display lots `
)
in the Entrance Corridors. Lower light levels will apply to most other 0 (4, /61,CX4°�
uses in the Entrance Corridors.
o 25 Light should have the appearance of white light with a warm soft glow; -,�,,��
( however, a consistent appearance throughout a site or development is �>�u-t�
' required. Consequently, if existing lamps that emit non-white light are to
remain, new lamps may be required to match them.
g�, 26 Dark brown,dark bronze,or black are appropriate colors for free-standing /d (4) �l v1, GvtTy 4, 2.".pole mounted light fixtures in the Entrance Corridors.
X27 The height and scale of freestanding,pole-mounted light fixtures should
be compatible with the height and scale of the buildings and the sites
they are illuminating, and with the use of the site. Typically, the height
of freestanding pole-mounted light fixtures in the Entrance Corridors I v
should not exceed 20 feet,including the base. Fixtures that exceed 20
feet in height will typically require additional screening to achieve an
appropriate appearance from the Entrance Corridor.
Q.- 28 In determining the appropriateness of lighting fixtures for the Entrance
Corridors, the individual context of the site will be taken into l-/ -
consideration on a case by case basis. -
❑' 29 The following note should be included on the lighting plan: "Each /� Lcm, y�"e--
outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial ��i!, z 1.
lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded
to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from
adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public

roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not
exceed one half footcandle."
Guidelines for the Use of Decorative Landscape Lighting
❑ 30 light used for decorative effect shall:
a.be compatible with the character of the Entrance Corridor. Compatibility
of exterior lighting and lighting fixtures is assessed in terms of design,use, /4-1?
size, scale,color,and brightness.
b. impact only the immediate site. The effect of the illumination should not
be discernible from distances along the Entrance Corridor.
( ,./6f 31 Where used for decorative effect,outdoor light fixtures shall:
a.be equipped with automatic timing devices and shall be extinguished
between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and dawn.
b.be shielded and focused to eliminate glare. Glare control shall be
achieved primarily through the use of such means as cutoff fixtures,shields
and baffles,and appropriate application of mounting height, wattage, tt t
aiming angle, fixture placement,etc.
c.be cutoff luminaires,aimed so as not to project their output beyond the
objects intended to be illuminated; or non-cutoff luminaires,equipped with
glare shields, visors,barn doors,and/or other similar shielding accessories
as required to meet the following criteria: Light distribution from all
lighting installations shall be cut-off at all angles beyond those required to
restrict direct illumination to within the perimeter of the landscape feature
being illuminated.
d.never exceed 3,000 lumens.Further restrictions on lumens may be
imposed by the ARB.
e.not be modified to reflect seasonal colors.
f.be of a number that is compatible with the scale of the object and the
development to be illuminated, such that the light emitted will not over-
illuminate or overpower the site, as determined by the ARB.
