RE: ZMA-98-20 Pantops PD -MC
Tax Map 78, Parcels 20A, 73, 73A, 75 and 76
Dear Mr. Melton:
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on October 21, 1998, approved the above -
noted request for approvalof an application plan for the general develoment of 49.34 acres, zoned PD -MC
(Planned Development Mixed Commercial); HC (Highway Commercial) and EC (Entrance Corridor
erlay District). Please note that this approval is subject to four modifications for the appication plan
d four requirements for application plan approval. The modifications and requirements are as follow:
Modifications for Application Plan approval:
a- The Board granted a waiver of restrictions to development on critical slopes for and restricted to
the Kroger Shopping Center site, the DMV site and to those areas shown for roadways and other
infrastrucnue improvements on the Application Plan. Subsequent requests for other critical
slopes waivers as may be requested as other site plans are presented will be entertained by the
Planning Commision.
b. The Board did not find that the request for relief from stormwater detention requirements to be
contrary to general planningipoiicy issues. The Board will allow administrative determination by
the Engineering Departent subject to satisfaction of the Engineering Department concerns as to
adequacy of water quality measures as well as adequacy of downstream channels:
c. The Board can determine no compelling reason to incorporate commercial roadways into the
public road network. Private roads will generally allow more Hexibiity in site design due to more
flexibiity in setbacks and improvements which may occur within the right-of-way. Therefore, the
Board approved usage of private roadways internal to the development. This should not be
viewed as a zoning restrictionlprohibition to Board approval of these roads as public roads at
some future date; and
d. The Board believes that PD -SC parking standard was intended to encourage a Planned
Development approach for shopping center development. The Board found that this intent has
been accomplished through this petition and that usage of the PD -SC parking standard would be
appropriate with this intent as well as with standards of the Comprehensive Pian.
;e
Requirements for Application Plan approval:
1. A landscape plan providing full screening of all buildings and parking areas visible from
Monticello shall be provided as a condition of site plan approval for all development, The
landscape plan may preserve existing trees or provide plantings which shall provide the necessary
screening within 15 years.
2. A street tree plan providing a visual buffer for Hansen Road and Rolkin Road shall be provided
as a condition of'site plan or road plan approval. Large street trees shall be planted on both sides
of such roads in accordance with Section 32-7.9.6 of the Zoning Ordinance and shall be staggered
on opposite sides of the road.
3. All buildings shall be designed to provide rooftop style, treatment and color schemes which
assure minimal visual impact on the Monticello viewshed. Assurance of such style, treatment and
color schemes shall be a condition of final site plan approval. Such approval may be given by the
Director of Planning and Community Development after providing notice to the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Foundation and an opportunity for Foundation comments to be considered.
4. Approval and execution of the Four Party Road Improvement Agreement substantially in accord
with the document dated October 20, 1998, and attached hereto, shall be required prior to the
approval of any development plan.

FROM: Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator and
Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning and Community Development
DATE: 01i19101
RE: Landscape Plans for the entire Pantops PD -MC zoned by ZMA 98-20
This document is a Memorandum of Agreement set forth in an effort to meet the intent of the first "Requirements
for Application Plan Approval" from ZMA 98-20. On October 21, 1998 the Board of Supervisors approved the
Planned Development Mixed Commercial Application Plan with the following condition:
1. A landscape plan providing full screening of all buildings and parking areas visible from Monticello shall be
provided as a condition of site plan approval for all development, the landscape plan may preserve existing
trees or provide plantings which shall provide the necessary screening within 15 years.
The goal of"full screening" is not only to fully obscure but to provide the maximum screening through integration
with the existing character of the forested slopes within the viewshed of Monticello. The County, the Developer
and Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation all hereby agree that the following guidelines will be used in review of
all the pertinent site plans on a case-by-case basis:
The sites should appear as natural as possible after development. This may involve randomly placing trees on a
slope rather than having a large mowed area or a staggered row of evergreens. it may also provide for screening
evergreen trees to be mixed with deciduous trees so as not to create a "block of green" every winter when the
deciduous trees in the naturalized areas surrounding the development drop their leaves. The screening needs to
be substantial, but a softer silhouette than the standard, using Indigenous trees wherever possible, and scattered
or in clumps, not in rows. Consideration should be given to species that will grow to a substantial size and are
disease resistant so that they will survive and integrate into the native habitat.
There will be different considerations on each site depending on the acreage of the site, the topography or terrain,
the visibility from Monticello, and the surrounding natural microcosm. The height, size, layout and colors used on
the buildings to be constructed will also effect the required landscaping. Since cars and other vehicles reflect light
and draw attention to one spot in a field of vision, thorough landscaping of parking lots and accessways is also a
major consideration.
Planning staff in their professional capacity will review the landscape plans for all sites within the PD -MC. In the
process, they must uphold the Zoning Ordinance, the conditions of the Application Pian, and help achieve the
goals set out above.
Agreed to by:
