Supplemental Information
Plaza Azteca Restaurant Renovation
571 Branchlands Boulevard
We are providing this information as a supplement to our application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the above referenced project. This project consists of the renovation and
addition to the existing Applebee's restaurant which was closed several years ago. During that
time the some of the existing plantings became overgrown and the site was occupied by a variety
of transients resulting in significant amounts of refuse and debris accumulating on the site.
The overgrown plantings and refuse have been removed from the site in anticipation of this
project. Plantings removed were surveyed by our landscape consultant and replacement
plantings designed to comply with the County's landscape requirements and to support the
project design. Existing site lighting, previously approved, will remain as installed.
Project Status
A permit has been issued by the County for interior demolition and that work is nearly complete.
A Minor Site Plan Amendment has been submitted and is currently under review. Comments
have been received and are being addressed. Final approval is pending this application/review
by the ARB.
Project Description
For the purposes of this review, the project consists of the exterior renovation of an existing
structure constructed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. This structure was constructed as part of
a planned unit development with the adjacent Food Lion. As such the project has a common
entrance off Branchlands Blvd. and shared storm water management facilities.
113 FOURTH ST., NE. CHARLOTTESVILLE VIRGINIA 22902 t 434.293.7258 f 434.293.7247 www.fpw.com -
The project site context is varied, containing grocery store, other restaurants, and retail
establishments. Many of these structures is designed around a theme of the particular
establishment.
The project site lies within an Entrance Corridor along Route 29 North. This particular portion of
Route 29 is bordered by mature trees and associated plantings. Additionally, the elevation
differential between Route 29 and the project site of between 25 and 30 feet makes the project
nearly invisible from the road.
Exterior Design
As mentioned above, the project is designed to support a theme of a restaurant serving "Tex-
Mex" cuisine. Design elements are consistent with this theme and include stone and stucco.
Two "bay" windows and the entrance canopies have tile roofing. A sample of the proposed tile
has been included in the submittal package and it should be noted that this type of tile will be
modestly variegated in color.
The existing parapets will be extended as shown on the drawings to conceal any rooftop
equipment from view.
The existing enclosed "porch" on the west side of the building will be removed and a two level
structure added to provide additional seating. The upper level can be opened during good
weather and closed/conditioned during cooler months. This addition will have the same stone
base and will be extensively glazed. New windows will be installed throughout the project.
The exterior above the stone base will be clad in an exterior insulation and finish system that will
allow us to upgrade the thermal performance of the envelope. Combined with the stone base, the
stucco system will divide the building into a bas (stone) middle and top (stucco). The parapet will
be capped with an aluminum coping. The coping color will be black to match the aluminum clad
wood winds and the belt course above the stone base.
Hopefully this supplemental information will be useful for your review.
