Proposal
To construct a hotel with associated site improvements.
Context and visibility
The hotel is proposed for the site located north of the Guadalajara restaurant and the Town and Country shopping center.
The site was previously cleared, and vegetation has since grown up. The site is lower than the Rt. 250 EC, but the size of
the hotel footprint and the proposed 60' height will result in a building that is still quite visible from the EC. Visibility of
some of the lower floors will be reduced by the buildings already in place along the EC frontage, but the upper floors
will be visible above and beyond these buildings, and the hotel will be seen rising above the surroundings from the
higher elevations of Rt. 250 east of Town and Country Lane.

SITE, PROJECT and RELATED HISTORY
The ARB reviewed plans for a Holiday Inn Express (ARB-2009-12 and
2009-56) to be located on the subject parcel in 2009 and 2010. The ARB
approved the proposal pending resolution of several conditions to be
approved by staff. The last round of staff review comments was made on
5/7/2010. No resubmittal was made. The proposal was a five -story hotel
with brick in two colors as the primary building material.
A Springhill/Towne Place development was reviewed and approved by the
ARB for a site on Rt. 29 North, just south of the Fairfield Inn at
Branchlands (ARB-2016-70 and 2017-32) in 2016 and 2017. Building
materials included brick, cultured stone, and stucco. The building was I-

shaped, with the Spring Hill wing located closer to the EC street and the
1
TownePlace wing further to the east.
The ARB reviewed and approved plans for a hotel located along Pantops
Corner Way between Routes 20 and 250 in 2018 and 2019. That hotel, a
Holiday Inn Express, uses brick and EIFS as primary materials.
The Overlook Hotel proposal located on the south side of Rt. 250 East,
approximately 1/3 of a mile to the east of the Towneplace Suites site, is
�\
currently under review. The current design uses brick as a primary
material.

39
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.

existing views and vistas on and around the site.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion:
1. Compatibility of the architectural design with the surrounding context and the historic architecture of the County: the building form, butterfly roofs,
materials, colors
2. The rooftop mechanical equipment screens
3. The color of the grill panels
Staff recommends that the ARB forward the following recommendations to the Agent for the Site Review Committee:
• Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and (5) and recommended conditions of initial plan approval:
o Prior to Initial Plan approval the following items shall be resolved to the satisfaction of the ARB: None.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
• Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: None.
• Regarding the final site plan submittal:
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. The following items and all items on the ARB Final Site Plan
Checklist must be addressed:
1. Clarify whether the angled roofs shown over the eastern and western wings of the building in the perspective images are proposed. Revise
the drawings to show consistent roof treatments across all drawings.
2. Confirm that the wall area under the butterfly roofs will not be lit.
3. Revise the building design to provide greater compatibility along the corridor. Among the options are the use of local masonry and providing
a more traditional treatment at the top of the building.
4. Revise the building design to provide a more traditional treatment at the top of the building.
5. Provide on the plans the proposed specs for window glass. Show that VLT is not below 40% and VLR does not exceed 30%.
6. Reconsider the proposed color scheme for the building for greater compatibility with the existing character of the corridor.
7. Revise the roof plan to show the location of the roof screens.
8. Reconsider the color of the grill panels to reduce noticeability.
9. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural plans: Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor
shall be eliminated."
10. Revise the photometric plan using an LLF of 1.0 and limit spillover to a maximum of .5 fc.
11. Revise the lighting plan to include complete information on building -mounted light fixtures.
12. Revise the luminaire schedule to specify a 3000K color temperature for the site lights.
13. Revise the luminaire schedule to specify dark bronze as the finish for the site lights.
14. Note on the plan that the 20' mounting height for the site lights includes any proposed base.
13
15. Add the standard lighting note to the plan. "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial 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."
16. Add one large tree along Town and Country Lane.
17. Revise the plant schedule to show the planting size of the trees along Town and Country Lane as 2%" caliper at planting.
18. Provide medium trees, 2%" caliper at planting, along the sidewalks located southeast of the hotel.
19. Provide large shade trees, 2%" caliper at planting, along the 12-space parking row located southeast of the hotel entrance.
20. Increase the planting size of the interior parking lot trees to 2%" caliper at planting.
21. Provide a tree or trees at the east end of the south elevation to mitigate the blank wall in that area.
22. Add the standard plant health note to the 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."
