Therefore, it is the purpose of ARB review with materials, forms and details (brick, and of these Guidelines, that proposed development within the designated stucco, columns, gables, metal hipped Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design characteristic of the significant roof, water tables). The design is still historical landmarks, buildings, and structures of the Charlottesville and coordinated with the other pavilions in Albemarle area, and to promote orderly and attractive development within these the development. Visibility of the corridors. Applicants should note that replication of historic structures is neither building from the EC street will still be required nor desired. limited. Orderly and attractive development will be maintained. ❑ 2 Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville and Albemarle The development is an ensemble of area experience these sites as ensembles of buildings, land, and vegetation. In buildings and landscaping. 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 landscaping. Compatibility with significant historic sites: ❑ 3 New structures and substantial additions to existing structures should respect the The architectural design respects the traditions of the architecture of historically significant buildings in the traditional architecture of the area and the Charlottesville and Albemarle area. Photographs of historic buildings in the area, nearby buildings by continuing to use as well as drawings of architectural features, which provide important examples materials forms and details found in both. of this tradition are contained in Appendix A. ❑ 4 The examples contained in Appendix A should be used as a guide for building Materials and forms used in the revised design: the standard of compatibility with the area's historic structures is not design are found in the historic intended to impose a rigid design solution for new development. Replication of architecture of the area. 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 asspecial functional requirements. REF # I GUIDELINE NOTES ConWatibility with the character of the Entrance Corridor ❑ 5 It is also an important objective of the Guidelines to establish a pattern of The revised design is compatible with the compatible architectural characteristics throughout the Entrance Corridor in order others in the development and along the to achieve unity and coherence. Building designs should demonstrate sensitivity corridor. 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. SPECIFIC GUIDELINES Compatibility with significant historic sites Structure design ❑ 9 Building forms and features, including roofs, windows, doors, materials, colors The revised building design still reflect and textures should be compatible with the forms and features of the significant the traditional architecture of the area historic buildings in the area, exemplified by (but not limited to) the buildings with materials, forms and details (brick, described in Appendix A. The standard of compatibility can be met through stucco, columns, gables, metal hipped scale, materials, and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is roof, water tables). contemporary as well as traditional. The replication of important historic sites in Albemarle County is not the objective of these guidelines. ❑ 10 Buildings should relate to their site and the surrounding context of buildings. The design is still coordinated with the other pavilions in the development. ❑ 11 The overall design of buildings should have human scale. Scale should be Human scale is achieved through the use integral to the building and site design. of water tables, columns, stringcourses, bay divisions, projections and recesses, use of brick and material changes. ❑ 12 Architecture proposed within the Entrance Corridor should use forms, shapes, The architectural design respects the scale, and materials to create a cohesive whole. traditional architecture of the area and the nearby buildings by continuing to use materials forms and details found in both. ❑ 13 Any appearance of "blankness" resulting from building design should be relieved Blankness is not a characteristic of the using design detail or vegetation, or both. revised design. ❑ 14 Arcades, colonnades, or other architectural connecting devices should be used to The revised design maintains unity in the unify groups of buildings within a development. development through the use of similar forms, details and materials. ❑ 15 Trademark buildings and related features should be modified to meet the The building is not a trademark design. re uirements of the Guidelines.

Reflectance off the outside pane of glass should be kept below 7%. existing. Specifications on the proposed window glass and samples of tinted window glass should be submitted with the application for final review. Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%. Specifications on the proposed window glass should be submitted with the applicationforfinal review. Accessory structures and equipment ❑ 17 Accessory structures and equipment should be integrated into the overall plan of No equipment changes. The building roof development and shall, to the extent possible, be compatible with the building will still hide rooftop equipment. 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 negative visual impact on the Entrance Corridor street, screening should be provided to eliminate visibility. a. Loading areas, b. Service areas, c. Refuse areas, d. Storage areas, e. Mechanical equipment, f. Above -ground utilities, and g. Chain link fence, barbed wire, razor wire, and similar security fencing 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. ❑ 20 Surface runoff structures and detention ponds should be designed to fit into the No changes to stormwater proposed. 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. ❑ 21 The following note should be added to the site plan and the architectural plan: The note is not on the drawings. Will be "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be a condition of approval. eliminated." ❑ 36 Landscaping of buildings and other structures: The architectural changes do not generate a. Trees or other vegetation should be planted along the front of long buildings as the need for additional landscaping. 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. b. Shrubs should be used to integrate the site, buildings, and other structures; dumpsters, accessory buildings and structures; "drive thru" windows; service areas and signs. Shrubs should measure at least 24 inches in height.
