Context Property immediately surrounding the subject parcel is vacant but is part of the mixed use Hollymead Town Center development. Across the traffic circle to the west is Rosewood Village. To the east is the heavily developed commercial corridor along Rt. 29. Visibility The hotel is proposed to be located approximately 1000' from the EC at its closest point. This distance will limit the visibility of architectural detail, but the building mass, height, and colors will be visible. Buildings currently line the EC frontage from Timberwood Blvd. to Airport Road. These buildings will limit visibility of the hotel for southbound traffic, though a glimpse of the hotel above and beyond the buildings may be available between the CVS and the Seminole Commons shopping center. Eventually, buildings constructed between Target and Timberwood Blvd. will also limit some visibility. ARB Meeting Date September 6, 2016 Staff Contact Margaret Maliszewski PROJECT HISTORY The ARB reviewed a conceptual design for this hotel on May 16, 2016. The action letter from that review is included as Attachment A to this report. Changes to the proposal since that review include: • Reduction in height from 5 stories to 4 stories, and from 84,313sf to 75,274 s£ • Changes in materials, including change from stone to brick base and change from metal siding to fiber cement panels. • Change in colors at the upper walls from red and blue to earth tones in tan and brown.

Landscaping should promote visual order within the Entrance Corridor and help to integrate buildings into the existing environment of the corridor. 8 Continuity within the Entrance Corridor should be obtained by planting different types of plant materials that share similar characteristics. Such common elements allow for more flexibility in the design of structures because common landscape features will help to harmonize the appearance of development as seen from the street upon which the Corridor is centered. 32 Landscaping along the frontage of Entrance Corridor streets should include the - This parcel has no EC frontage.

Such trees should be located at least every 35 feet on center. b. Flowering ornamental trees of a species common to the area should be interspersed among the trees required by the preceding paragraph. The ornamental trees need not alternate one for one with the large shade trees. They may be planted among the large shade trees in a less regular spacing pattern. c. In situations where appropriate, a three or four board fence or low stone wall, typical of the area, should align the frontage of the Entrance Corridor street. d.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion: 1. The revised building materials and colors. 2. The retaining walls. 3. The proposed landscaping. Staff recommends that the ARB forward the following recommendations to the Agent for the Site Review Committee: G. Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and (5): A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. A Certificate of Appropriateness may be issued when the following conditions have been met. 1. Identify on the drawings the color of the smooth face panel and provide a sample for review. 2. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the site plan. "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated." 3. Revise the photometric plan to show that spillover does not exceed .5 fc, including along the edge of pavement along Laurel Park Lane. 4. Revise the photometrics using an LLF of 1.0. 5. Revise the lighting plan to make the OSQ-4MEwBLS fixtures easily legible. 6. Revise the lighting plan to include building -mounted lights. 7. 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." 8. Revise interior parking lot trees to large shade trees. 9. Identify on the plan the color proposed for the retaining wall block. 10. Revise the plant species so that the number of proposed plants for any one species does not exceed 25% of the total proposed for that plant type (tree, shrub). Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: 1. Consider slightly darker shades for the tan wall panels. 2. Consider revising the light pole color to bronze. • Regarding recommended conditions of initial plan approval: A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. • Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: None. 10 TABLE A This report is based on the following submittal items: Sheet # Drawing Name Drawing/Revision Date Sheet # Drawing Name Drawing/Revision Date CA-001 Cover sheet 7/25/2016 RW6.4 Typical details (cont.) 7/25/2016 CS-101 Site and utility plan 7/25/2016 RW6.5 Typical details (cont.) 7/25/2016 CS-501 Site details 7/25/2016 T001 Cover sheet 7/25/2016 CG-101 I Grading plan 7/25/2016 A100 Site section 7/25/2016 CP-101 Planting plan 7/25/2016 A101 First floor plan 7/25/2016 CP-102 Landscape notes and details 7/25/2016 A102 Second floor plan 7/25/2016 CL-101 Lighting plan 7/25/2016 A103 Third floor plan 7/25/2016 RW3.1 Plan view 7/25/2016 A104 Fourth floor plan 7/25/2016 RW5.1 Cross section A -A 7/25/2016 A201 Building elevations 7/25/2016 RW6.1 Typical details 7/25/2016 - Color rendering of front and side elevations - RW6.2 Typical details (coot.) 7/25/2016 - Views from the EC and site (3 photos) - RW6.3 Typical details (cont.) 7/25/2016 Material Samples: Brick: Taylor Clay Products, 5 Way Kaiser Blend, Modular, Smooth; Painted fiber cement panels: Sherwin Williams 7003 Toque White; 7517 China Doll, 7506 Loggia 11 .c! ^1 e h hfq[a.
