Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments June 20'h Site Review Meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the June 201h 2013 Site Review Committee Meeting:
SDP - 201300030 Hollymead Town Center Block IV — Initial Site Plan (Ellie Ray)
1. The internal streets shown for the townhomes will not be considered for acceptance into VDOT's
secondary road system as designed.
2. If Laurel Park Lane is proposed to be taken into the VDOT secondary road system, the two townhouse
entrances will need to meet the 225 corner clearance requirement as discussed in Appendix F of the Road
Design Manual. If this requirement cannot be met, an Access Management exception will need to be
requested.
3. The sidewalk shown along Laurel Park Lane does not meet the requirement found in the Road Design
manual for a buffer strip. If this road will become part of the secondary road system, a design exception
will be required.
4. If Laurel Park Lane will not be part of the secondary road system, VDOT has no objection to the proposed
site plan.
SDP - 201300026 Lochlyn Hill, Phase IB — Initial Site Plan (Christopher Perez)
1. It would be helpful to have a copy of the overall planned development to show how Phase IB fits into the
project.
2. The stub -out of the intersection of Road B and Lochlyn Hill Drive should be built to the intersection return
and reserve the right -of -way all the way to the adjacent property. If the property to the east were to be
redeveloped, the right -of -way would be in place to extend the road at that time.
3. The sight lines for the intersection of Lochlyn Hill Drive and Road B are not shown at the correction
origination location. Furthermore, the sight line to the south crosses through a proposed street tree which
appears to impact the available sight distance. The available sight distance to the east of the intersection
will need to be confirmed if/when Road B is extended in that direction.
4. CG -12's need to be provided at the intersection of Lochlyn Hill Drive and Road B.
If you need additional information concerning these projects, please contact me.

Memorandum
To: Michael Myers (mmyers(a- )dominioneng.com)
From: Ellie Ray, CLA, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: June 17, 2013
Subject: SDP 201300030 Hollymead Town Center Block C4 - Initial
Fax 434 - 972 -4126
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the
following comments have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.):
[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. [Comment] This application was reviewed against Site Development Plan requirements only. It appears
that lot lines are shown on the plan, but no subdivision application was submitted. Any subdivision related
comments are provided for reference only unless necessary for site plan approval.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide boundary dimensions. Clarify existing and proposed boundary lines with areas of
proposed dedication clearly delineated. Also, revise the reference to Town Center Drive in the "subdivision
summary "; Town Center Drive is not an abutting roadway.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Reference the Zoning Map Amendment(s) approved for this property with the associated
application plan and code of development, as well as any proffers and applicable approved waivers.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Correct the magisterial district to say Rio.
5. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the minimum setback and yard information.
6. [32.5.2(a)] Add the names of the owners, zoning district, tax map and parcel number, and present use of
abutting parcels.
7. [32.5.2(b) & 4.16] Developed recreational area(s) shall be provided for every development of thirty (30)
units or more equal to or exceeding four (4) dwelling units per acre. A minimum of two hundred (200)
square feet per unit of recreational area shall be provided in common area or open space on the site.
Provide the location and square footage of this required recreation area; it cannot include paved access
areas or parking.
8. [4.16.2] In the recreation area requested above, one (1) tot lot shall be provided for the first thirty (30) units
and shall contain equipment which provides an amenity equivalent to: one (1) swing (four (4) seats), one (1)
slide, two (2) climbers, one (1) buckabout or whirl, and two (2) benches. Please show this tot lot and the
required amenities on the plan.
9. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the percentage and acreage of open space; this area should not include paved access
areas or parking.
10. [32.5.2(b)] Note the maximum height of all structures.
11. [32.5.2(b) & Code of Development] The parking proposed within the plaza area does not meet the intent
of the application plan and code of development; please remove. Provide information on how the parking
requirement will be met without these spaces; on- street parking abutting the parcel can be used to satisfy
this requirement, if present (Code of Development required, but it's unclear if it has been provided — see
below). Additionally, if the parking spaces remain as proposed, a special use permit will be required for
stand -alone parking if the parcel is subdivided as tentatively shown on the plan.
12. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the maximum amount of paved parking and vehicular circulation area if any parking
area of five spaces or more is proposed.
13. [32.5.2(i) & Code of Development] Provide information regarding the abutting streets to show they meet
the sections and streetscape requirements provided in the Code of Development (Page 15 and Table C). It
appears that there are several inconsistencies with the approved sections including right -of -way width, curb -
to -curb width, bike lanes, on- street parking, and sidewalk widths. Streetscape requirements in the Code of
Development must be met as well as any additional ARB requirements.
14. [32.5.2(1)] The design of lots 16 -21 creates awkward and potentially dangerous vehicular access to these
lots; if subdivided, several access easements and shared maintenance agreements will be required.
Demonstrate how access to these lots will work. Please also show how vehicles will navigate behind the
required 18' parking spaces on each lot.
15. [4.12.16(b)] All parking spaces shall be designed so that no part of any vehicle will extend over any lot line,
right -of -way line, sidewalk, walkway, and driveway or aisle space. It appears that the parking spaces for lots
16 -21 extend into driveway /aisle space, and one space for lot 19 extends over a walkway area and possibly
over the lot line; as requested above, please revise or demonstrate how the parking and access areas will
meet this requirement.
16. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the state route numbers for all existing streets.
17. [32.5.2(k)] Verify that all necessary easements for proposed water, sewer and drainage facilities have been
shown on the plan.
18. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location of any other existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including
telephone, cable, electric and gas.
19. [32.5.2(m)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection from the proposed
ingress and egress locations.
20. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension all proposed buildings.
21. [32.5.2(n)] Please dimension all existing and proposed walkways. Additionally, clarify the lack of sidewalk
connection at the intersection of Meeting Street and Laurel Park Lane.
22. [32.5.2(n)] Clarify if any outdoor lighting is proposed; if it is, note the location(s) and provide a lighting plan.
23. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the dimensions of any landscaped areas and open space (as noted above, open space
shall not include paved access areas or parking).
24. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the dimensions of the recreation area requested above.
25. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension all proposed parking areas.
26. [32.5.2(0)] Clearly show any areas intended to be dedicated or reserved for dedication to public use (such
as street right -of -way), and provide a note stating that the land is to be dedicated or reserved for public use.
27. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.6] If any parking area having 5 spaces or more is proposed, all requirements under this
section (Landscaping within a parking area) must be satisfied.
28. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.8] The minimum tree canopy requirement is 15 %. It appears this requirement has been
met, but some of the numbers and calculations provided are incorrect. Quercus palustris planted at 2.5"
caliper provides 419 sf of canopy, and Corpus kousa provides 128 sf; please revise the table and
associated calculation. Also, please revise the required canopy calculation to reference the correct parcel
acreage of 1.793. This portion of TMP32 -41 L must be subdivided off of the parcel for the density (upon
which the canopy requirement is predicated) and the coverage numbers to be accurate. This subdivision
should be submitted and approved prior to final site plan approval.
29. [32.5.2(p)] Several of the proposed plantings appear to be within existing or proposed easements; please
either move all landscaping outside of easements or provide proof of authorization from the easement
holder.
30. [Code of Development] The plaza area provided may not meet the intent of the code of development and
application plan; the central plaza was intended to be a community feature and not just an amenity for this
block. As requested above, the parking should be removed. Additionally, the plaza should also contain
benches, gardens and a fountain or covered gazebo like structure as listed in the block description. Provide
the actual square footage of the plaza not including the paved areas to clarify if adequate area has been
proposed.
31. [Code of Development] ARB approval required.
32. [Comment] It is difficult in some areas to determine what is existing versus what is proposed; please
clarify.
33. [Comment] It appears that tentative lot lines are shown on this site plan; while this plan has not been
reviewed for compliance with the subdivision ordinance, it should be noted that if these lines represent a
possible future subdivision application there will be several issues concerning access easements, alley
design and easement, and maintenance agreements. Also, as stated above, a special use permit will be
required for stand -alone parking if parking is proposed on its own parcel.
34. [Comment] The plaza currently shows a Pin Oak planted in the middle of the paver area; due to the nature
of oak roots, a different tree species would be a better fit in this location.
Please contact Ellie Ray in the Planning Division by using eray(a)albemarle.org or 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3432 for
further information.

Hi Michelle,
Mike had one question at SRC for us to follow up on: comment 2 about the road alignment. I know you and I talked
about it. Mike said they would try to line it up better with the alley in the middle of Laurel Park Subdivision instead. I
think that'd work and told him you or I would get back with him to discuss the comment tomorrow. I put the folder back

The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the
following comments have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.):
[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. [Comment] This application was reviewed against Site Development Plan requirements only. It appears
that lot lines are shown on the plan, but no subdivision application was submitted. Any subdivision related
comments are provided for reference only unless neccesary for site plan approval.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide boundary dimensions. Clarify existing and proposed boundary lines with areas of
proposed dedication clearly delineated. Also, revise the reference to Town Center Drive in the "subdivision
summary"; Town Center Drive is not an abutting roadway.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Reference the Zoning Map Amendment(s) approved for this property with the associated
application plan and code of development, as well as any proffers and applicable approved waivers.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Correct the magisterial district to say Rio.
5. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the minimum setback and yard information.
6. [32.5.2(a)] Add the names of the owners, zoning district, tax map and parcel number, and present use of
abutting parcels.
7. [32.5.2(b) & 4.16] Developed recreational area(s) shall be provided for every development of thirty (30)
units or more equal to or exceeding four (4) dwelling units per acre. A minimum of two hundred (200)
square feet per unit of recreational area shall be provided in common area or open space on the site.
Provide the location and square footage of this required recreation area; it cannot include paved access
areas or parking.
8. [4.16.2] In the recreation area requested above, one (1) tot lot shall be provided for the first thirty (30) units
and shall contain equipment which provides an amenity equivalent to: one (1) swing (four (4) seats), one (1)
slide, two (2) climbers, one (1) buckabout or whirl, and two (2) benches. Please show this tot lot and the
required amenities on the plan.
9. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the percentage and acreage of open space; this area should not include paved access
areas or parking.
10. [32.5.2(b)] Note the maximum height of all structures.

11. [32.5.2(b) & Code of Development] The parking proposed within the plaza area does not meet the intent
of the application plan and code of development; please remove. Provide information on how the parking
requirement will be met without these spaces; on- street parking abutting the parcel can be used to satisfy
this requirement, if present (Code of Development required, but it's unclear if it has been provided — see

stand -alone parking if the parcel is subdivided as tentatively shown on the plan.
12. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the maximum amount of paved parking and vehicular circulation area if any parking
area of five spaces or more is proposed.
13. [32.5.2(i) & Code of Development] Provide information regarding the abutting streets to show they meet
the sections and streetscape requirements provided in the Code of Development (Page 15 and Table C). It
appears that there are several inconsistencies with the approved sections including right -of -way width, curb -
to -curb width, bike lanes, on- street parking, and sidewalk widths. Streetscape requirements in the Code of
Development must be met as well as any additional ARB requirements.
14. [32.5.2(i)] The design of lots 16 -21 creates awkward and potentially dangerous vehicular access to these
lots; if subdivided, several access easements and shared maintenance agreements will be required.
Demonstrate how access to these lots will work. Please also show how vehicles will navigate behind the
required 18' parking spaces on each lot.
15. [4.12.16(b)] All parking spaces shall be designed so that no part of any vehicle will extend over any lot line,
right -of -way line, sidewalk, walkway, and driveway or aisle space. It appears that the parking spaces for lots
16 -21 extend into driveway /aisle space, and one space for lot 19 extends over a walkway area and possibly
over the lot line; as requested above, please revise or demonstrate how the parking and access areas will
meet this requirement.
16. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the state route numbers for all existing streets.

18. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location of any other existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including
telephone, cable, electric and gas.
19. [32.5.2(m)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection from the proposed
ingress and egress locations.
20. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension all proposed buildings.
21. [32.5.2(n)] Please dimension all existing and proposed walkways. Additionally, clarify the lack of sidewalk
connection at the intersection of Meeting Street and Laurel Park Lane.
22. [32.5.2(n)] Clarify if any outdoor lighting is proposed; if it is, note the location(s) and provide a lighting plan.
23. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the dimensions of any landscaped areas and open space (as noted above, open space
shall not include paved access areas or parking).
24. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the dimensions of the recreation area requested above.
25. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension all proposed parking areas.
26. [32.5.2(o)] Clearly show any areas intended to be dedicated or reserved for dedication to public use (such
as street right -of -way), and provide a note stating that the land is to be dedicated or reserved for public use.
27. [323.2(p) & 32.7.9.6] If any parking area having 5 spaces or more is proposed, all requirements under this
section (Landscaping within a parking area) must be satisfied.
2
28. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.8] The minimum tree canopy requirement is 15 %. It appears this requirement has been
met, but some of the numbers and calculations provided are incorrect. Quercus palustris planted at 2.5"
caliper provides 419 sf of canopy, and Cornus kousa provides 128 sf; please revise the table and
associated calculation. Also, please revise the required canopy calculation to reference the correct parcel
acreage of 1.793. This portion of TMP32 -41 L must be subdivided off of the parcel for the density (upon
which the canopy requirement is predicated) and the coverage numbers to be accurate. This subdivision
should be submitted and approved prior to final site plan approval.
29. [32.5.2(p)] Several of the proposed plantings appear to be within existing or proposed easements; please
either move all landscaping outside of easements or provide proof of authorization from the easement
holder.
30. [Code of Development] The plaza area provided may not meet the intent of the code of development and
application plan; the central plaza was intended to be a community feature and not just an amenity for this
block. As requested above, the parking should be removed. Additionally, the plaza should also contain
benches, gardens and a fountain or covered gazebo like structure as listed in the block description. Provide
the actual square footage of the plaza not including the paved areas to clarify if adequate area has been
proposed.
31. [Code of Development] ARB approval required.
32. [Comment] It is difficult in some areas to determine what is existing versus what is proposed; please
clarify.
33. [Comment] It appears that tentative lot lines are shown on this site plan; while this plan has not been
reviewed for compliance with the subdivision ordinance, it should be noted that if these lines represent a
possible future subdivision application there will be several issues concerning access easements, alley
design and easement, and maintenance agreements. Also, as stated above, a special use permit will be
required for stand -alone parking if parking is proposed on its own parcel.
34. [Comment] The plaza currently shows a Pin Oak planted in the middle of the paver area; due to the nature
of oak roots, a different tree species would be a better fit in this location.
Please contact Ellie Ray in the Planning Division by using erayct7i.albemarle.org or 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3432 for
further information.

• "TIMBERWOOD WEST AT HOLLYMEAD TOWN CENTER"
• I. Introduction
• Tax Map 32, Parcel 41D to be designated a Town Center will have a combination of Urban
• Density Residential, Mixed Use /Community Service and Mixed Use/ Regional Service land use
• • classification. Timberwood West is intended primarily to provide an integrated mixed -use
component to the Hollymead Town Center and should be viewed as one part of a much larger
• mixed -use development. Timberwood West will meet the twelve principles of the Neighborhood
• Model both by design and by its relationship to the larger neighborhood. For Area C of the
• Hollymead Town Center, the following documents comprised the Code of Development (Code):
•
• Application Plan
• The Application Plan is a graphic depiction of the information set forth in the Code and it is the
• Code's tables, appendices and narrative, which regulate whether a site plan is in conformity with
• the intent of the rezoning. Therefore, roads, buildings, sidewalks, landscaping, grading, and
• utilities shown on the Application Plan may shift as long as they remain in general accord with
• the Application Plan and meet requirements set forth in the Code. In this regard, the Application
• Plan should be used as an interpretation tool.
• Code of Development — Block Exhibit
•
• The Block Exhibit delineates nine areas or blocks. These blocks are referenced in this Code's
• narratives, tables and appendices. It is expected that a block's size and shape may be altered
• slightly as Area C is developed. However, it is the developer's intention to develop this area in
• general accord with the Block Exhibit.
• Code of Development — Narrative
•
• The narrative sets forth the rules within which Area C shall be developed. The narrative
• provides a general description of important building and streetscape design features that are
• integral to the success of the development. It also provides design schematics that further
• illustrate these general descriptions. The Application Plan shall also be used to interpret the
• information contained in the tables and appendices of the Code of Development.
• Code of Development — Tables and Appendices
• Tables A, B, C and the associated appendices that are attached to this document comprise the
• parameters within which Area C shall be developed. These tables and appendices set forth
• specific uses, amount of uses and description of amenities, typical street cross - sections, expected
• streetscape, proposed building's relationship to the street, and generally describe the architecture
• for the project.
•
• Proffers
• The proffers for Area C are attached at the end of this document.

• Block II
• The buildings within Block II are designed to front on Timberwood Boulevard and turn the
• comer to front Access Road C. The building along Timberwood Boulevard starts with two
• stories and steps to a three -story building along Access Road C. This allows for the building to
• work with the grade while providing the appropriate mass to these two important streets. There
• is additional frontage available for future development of the block at the corner of Timberwood
• Boulevard and Access Road B. The parking lot is designed to allow the possibility of a parking
• deck that would accommodate this future infill development. Finally, there will be space for
• public art, benches, kiosks, and/or other features on all four the corner of Timberwood and
• Access Road C for the purpose of framing this important intersection and providing an improved
• pedestrian orientation.
• Block III
• Block III proposes a multi -story building that frames the corner of Timberwood Boulevard and
• Access Road C. Contained in the building at the corner of Timberwood Boulevard and Access
• Road D, there may be an apartment building. Townhouses are proposed to front onto Access
• Road D. Finally, there will be space for public art, benches, kiosks, and/or other features on all
• four the corner of Timberwood and Access Road C for the purpose of framing this important
• intersection and providing an improved pedestrian orientation.
• Block IV bt.o r b °
• This block is the centerpiece of the north end of the Town Center. Buildings front all of the cs
• streets and surround a central plaza. The central plaza will be a pedestrian friendly area with
• benches, pavers, gardens, trees, and grassed areas with a fountain or covered gazebo type
• structure. The form and function of the central plaza is generally depicted in Design Schematics
• C and D. Finally, there will be space for public art, benches, kiosks, and/or other features on all
• four the corner of Timberwood and Access Road C for the purpose of framing this important
• intersection and providing an improved pedestrian orientation*
• Block V
• This block is designed to accommodate two rows of townhouses, which will front onto
• Timberwood Boulevard and the street behind. The parking will be internalized between the
• townhouses in garages and with additional parking to be provided on the street that form the
• boundary to this block. The townhouse block will provide at least one semi - private green space
• internal to the block for the residents of this block.
• Block VI
• This block provides the parking for Block IV. The parking lot is designed in a manner to
• accommodate the future infill of additional buildings by either the County or other public user.
• Please see the proffers below for a further definition of the future infill possibilities. This lot
• could also act as a possible park and ride lot during weekdays hours.
• Block VII
• This block proposes a multi -story building that fronts Access Road C.

• Block VIII
• In B iock VII, a 3 to 4 -story building will defined this corner of Timberwood Boulevard and
• Access Road C. This corner will also have space for public art, benches, kiosks, and/or other
• features mentioned above on the other three corners. This block will also have a pocket park of
• approximately 6,500 square feet at the corner of Timberwood Boulevard and Access Road B.
• The principle intent of the pocket park is to add more greenery to the development. The pocket
• park will also provide, at a minimum, benches and a small flat area.
•
• Block IX
• This is the first block on the right upon entering Timberwood Boulevard from Route 29. The
• proposed buildings step up the grade with the ground floor facing towards Timberwood
• Boulevard and a second floor facing towards the parking lot in the rear
• Architectural Guidelines — Table B
• Table B sets forth Area C's design guidelines for its building's relationship to the street by
• rovidin the building height ranges, build -to line ranges, and limits on a single user's footprint.
•
providing g g g g g p
• Appendix C generally defines features that should be included as part of the facades of the
building within Area C. Build -to -line shall be defined as: an alignment established as certain
•
• distance, as defined in the Code of Development, from the front property line abutting the street,
• along which the building shall be built. The photos and descriptions are included in Appendix C
generally illustrate these features, but it is not the developer's intent to replicate the buildings in
• the photos. Building footprints will not be greater than fifty -five thousand (55,000) square feet
• and were generally will be much smaller. Buildings generally are between two and four floors.
• Variations and offsets to the building footprint line, variations for building heights, uses of
• materials and rooflines and materials should provide the quality, design and scale necessary to
• create an aesthetically pleasing environment and provide human scale development. Primary
• entries to those buildings along public or private streets should front the street to the extent
• possible.
• Buildings will offer attractive and inviting pedestrian scale features, spaces and amenities.
• Entrances and parking lots will be configured to be functional and inviting with walkways
• conveniently tied to logical destinations. Special design features such as towers, arcades,
• porticos, colonnades, pedestrian light fixtures, bollards, planter walls, and other architectural
• elements that define circulations ways and outdoor spaces will anchor pedestrians -ways.
• The basic intent of these guidelines is to produce a consistent product reminiscent of mid-
• Atlantic historic areas such as Alexandria, Georgetown and Charleston, as well as historic
• portions of the Charlottesville Downtown Mall as related to non - residential uses. The Master
• Plan recognizes and promotes the twelve design principles identified in the Neighborhood Model
• with the ultimate goal of providing an aesthetically pleasing Town Center focusing on issues
• such as parking, building size and design, and street layout and design. The planned
• development of the Hollymead Town Center will ultimately protect and preserve the county's
• natural, scenic and historic resources with harmony and integration.
• Transportation and Mobility — Table C
•
• Streets and Alleys
• The location of streets, alleys or access to parking areas, sidewalks and pedestrian paths are
• generally shown on the Application Plan. Table C provides proposed street cross - sections,
• sidewalks and streetscape design guidelines, and indicates whether individual streets are
. • proposed as public or private.
•
• I4
•
•
•
•
•
• The road layout as shown on the Application Plan indicates the intent of the design.
• Timberwood West is a major thoroughfare in the Town Center providing external connections to
• Airport Road and Route 29. The other major thoroughfare is Access Road C (a.k.a., Ridge Rd.),
• which provides an eventual interconnection between the Town Center and the North Fork
• Research Park via TMP 32 -41. Access Road B provides access from Timberwood Boulevard
• and Area B.
• Streetscape
•
• In general, streetscape should be planted with a variety of trees, shrubs and perennials, with a
• drought- resistant turf grass such as turf -type tall fescue. Streetscape planting will be irrigated.
• When planting strip is wider than 5 feet, larger street trees will be used, when it is 5 feet, mid-
• sized trees will be used. Boulevard islands will use a combination of mid -size shrubs and trees
on each end of the islands and large street trees in the center of the islands. Streetscapes should
•
• be appealing, but they should not compete for attention with the retail function of downtown
• businesses and should focus on a high degree of pedestrian comfort.
• The minimum standards for streets trees shall be the following:
• • On major streets or boulevards, large tree species should be used with a minimum
• spacing of 40 to 50 feet.
• • On minor streets and alleys, medium tree species should be used with a minimum
• spacing of 30 to 35 feet.
•
• • Where visible from the Entrance Corridor, ARB Guidelines will be met or exceeded.
• • Medians will be planted with smaller street trees and shrubs and flowers where width
• permits.
• Typical cross - sections, and photos, as approved by Albemarle County for streetscapes are show
• on Design Schematics E, F and G. Planting materials will be selected from the approved
• planting list by Albemarle County.
•
• Final design will be addressed in the Site Development Plan process.

• Appendix C — General Architectural Guidelines
• GENERAL CHARACTER OF DEVELOPMENT:
•
• The Hollymead Town Center's ultimate goal is to recognize and promote the twelve design
• principles identified in the Neighborhood Model and apply them to the "Master Plan." With this
• in mind the basic intent is to create a development with historic charm reminiscent of portions of
• Charlottesville's Downtown Mall, and/or Georgetown, Charleston and Alexandria. Design
• characteristics, pedestrian safety and comfort, aesthetic architectural detail, building size and
• proportion, relegated parking, landscaping, sidewalks, street layout, water features and walking
• paths contribute to the overall comprehensive approach used to make this an ultimate urban
development that utilizes classic and traditional architecture. Finally, the plan aims to be
•
• appealing from the vantage point of the pedestrians. In general, masonry (brick and stone) will
be the primary material for Blocks 1, 2, 8, and 9. Stucco is generally not an acceptable primary
•
• material for Blocks 1, 2, 8, and 9, but may be used as an accent material in those blocks. In the
remaining Blocks, it is recommended that stucco be limited to use as an accent material and to
• create diversity.
• REGIONAL SERVICE DISTRICT STYLE
•
• Most buildings in this area will be one to two stories and will have mansard/parapet walls that
• provide screening for mechanical systems on flat roofs. Buildings within this district will be
• similar to or comparable with other lower story structures keeping contextual similarity within
• the Hollymead Town Center by using complimentary materials and architectural design.
• Variations will be expressed from building to building and at times form floor to floor by using
• different sized windows, set backs, arcades and a variations in the rooflines and facade
•
treatments; however, an overall coordination of building designs will be achieved. Note: more
• than two changes of facade materials would seldom be appropriate.
• MIXED USE /COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT STYLE
• Buildings within this area will respect the style throughout the development but will be two to
• four stories. The use of mansard/parapet walls on a different scale will again screen mechanical
• systems where necessary and will focus on aesthetic appeal of the overall development. The
• buildings will look more urban and vary between the various store /office fronts. This may be
• done through differing uses of materials, colors, window styles, rooflines and entrances. Note:
• more than two changes of facade materials would seldom be appropriate. The sidewalks in these
• areas will be pedestrian friendly by width and finish.
• URBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT STYLE
• This area will largely consist of single- family attached homes that will be two to three stories
• with attached garages. Residential facades will be stepped two to four feet from unit to unit to
• create an individual identity of the unit thro masked in a block. This will provide for distinctive
• architectural features from unit to unit to allow a Georgetown style townhouse. Exteriors will
• again use hard materials that may vary from brick to stone, stucco or siding (not vinyl) Front
• stoops for each unit as well as on street parking in these locations will provide for ease of access
• as well as a rear travel way which accesses the private garage. Rooflines for these units will be
• more traditional and in keeping with a more typical residential hip or gable style roof.
