ARB-2017-64: Riverside Village Block 1
Review Type
Initial Site Plan
Parcel Identification
078G00001000A0
Location
West of Trailside Drive and south of Trailside Court in the Riverside Village development located between Rt. 20, Elk Drive, and Free Bridge Lane. Block 1 is
located adjacent to Rt. 20.

Proposal
To construct three two-story retail/office buildings with associated site improvements.
Context and Visibility
Block 1 fronts the Rt. 20 EC and will be readily visible from the EC. When the Block 1 buildings are completed, they will limit some of the views into the
overall site. The surrounding area is a mix of development with commercial sites to the south, residential to the east, parkland to the north, and the river to the
west.

ARB review of initial site plan for Block 1.
A number of houses and the apartment building have been constructed and some landscaping is in place.
The ARB completed a preliminary review of Riverside Village, Block 1 on April 18, 2016 (included as Attachment A). At that meeting, their comments focused on attaining more information on the
design of the proposed buildings, in which they asked the applicants to submit material and color samples, dimensioned elevations, and a landscape plan with complete grading and a plant schedule for
review at a future date.
CHANGES TO THE PLAN SINCE THE LAST REVIEW
The current proposal differs in one fundamental way from the preliminary design the ARB reviewed in April 2016: whereas that conceptual design had three buildings arranged linearly and a 5,000-
square-foot central plaza (between the northernmost and central buildings) on a cardinal axis with the pedestrian path west of the proposed parking, the present configuration has four plazas totaling
5,000 square feet flanking the three buildings. Each plaza is rectangular or square in plan; the southeastern corner of the southernmost plaza is chamfered, acknowledging the corner of the entrance drive,
while the two middle plazas are bisected by turf -lawn strips. This scheme also differs from the conceptual design exhibited in ZMA-2016-19, in which two buildings were flanked by a total of three
plazas. Like that conceptual site plan, this current plan shows a pedestrian connection (a 10.67-foot wide brick walkway) running diagonally, west to east, across the parking lot, connecting the extant
pedestrian path to the northernmost plaza. Unlike the preliminary site plan exhibited in ARB-2016-29, however, none of the plazas show any formal design concept. The amount of commercial space has
also been reduced from 16,000 square feet total to 8,000 square feet while each building has been allotted eight residential units above the first -floor commercial spaces. The parking area and access
configuration is largely the same in the current proposal as in the previous submission, except for the parking lot planting: while the previous submission showed 26 canopy trees, the current submission
proposes 24 pin oaks.

2
Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area
experience these sites as ensembles of buildings, land, and vegetation. In 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:

this tradition are contained in Appendix A.
4
The examples contained in Appendix A should be used as a guide for building
design: the standard of compatibility with the area's historic structures is not
intended to impose a rigid design solution for new development. Replication of
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 as special functional requirements.

e. If significant natural features exist on the site (including creek valleys, steep

natural features should be reflected in the site layout. If the provisions of Section
32.5.6.n of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance apply, then improvements
required by that section should be located so as to maximize the use of existing
features in screening such improvements from Entrance Corridor streets.

Areas designated for preservation in the final Certificate of Appropriateness

Natural drainage patterns (or to the extent required, new drainage patterns) should

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion:
1. The need for supplemental landscaping on each plaza and a formal design vocabulary on the northernmost plaza.
Staff recommends that the ARB forward the following recommendations to the Agent for the Site Review Committee:
• Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and (5) and recommended conditions of initial plan approval:.
1. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
• Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: None.
• Regarding the final site plan submittal:
1. Architecture and landscaping will be reviewed with a future submittal. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
2. Provide material and color samples, dimensioned elevations, and floor plans for review.
3. Eliminate blankness in the planar elevations by incorporating architectural detailing and relief
4. Add the standard window glass note to the drawings: Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below 4001o.
Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%.
5. Revise the plans to show all loading and service areas, storage areas, mechanical equipment (ground- and roof -mounted), above -ground utilities, and any proposed fencing. Show how visibility
of all equipment will be eliminated.
6. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural drawings: Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
7. Provide a lighting plan which includes all proposed free-standing and wall -mounted lights with the final site plan.
8. Provide landscaping at the dumpster to integrate it into the surroundings.
9. Add street trees in the gaps along the north side of Trailside Drive in the vicinity of the entrance into the Block 1 parking lot.
10. Add shrubs along the eastern edge of the parking lot where buildings do not block parking spaces from the EC.
11. Provide side elevations for review. Additional landscaping may be needed to soften the appearance of exterior walls.
12. Provide at least two (2) benches and landscaping in all plazas. Design the northernmost plaza as a focal point of the block.
13. Correct the site plans so that the pedestrian connection is a single material.
