ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD STAFF REPORT Project #/Name ARB-2018-97: Hansen Road Church Final Site Development Plan Review Type Final Site Plan Parcel Identification 078000000073AB Location Along Hansen and Rolkin Roads, behind and to the west of the Rivanna Ridge (Pantops Giant) shopping center Zoned Planned Development Mixed Commercial (PDMC)/Entrance Corridor (EC) Owner/Applicant Albemarle Land LLC/Shimp Engineering (Justin Shimp) Magisterial District Rivanna Proposal To construct a church and an office building with associated site improvements. Context The subject parcel is located south and west of the Rivanna Ridge shopping center at Pantops. Commercial development is to the north and northeast. Office buildings are to the northwest. Residential development is to the southwest. A stormwater facility is to the southeast. The general area is a mix of retail, office and residential development. Visibility The elevation of the EC street at the intersection with Hansen Road is approximately 530'. Hansen Road decreases in elevation as it travels southward to approximately 500'. The finished floor elevation of the lower floor of the church is 516.5'; the upper floor is 530.5'. There is an open view to the site from the intersection, so the north elevation of the church will be visible. The office building is not expected to be visible from the Entrance Corridor due to its location behind the shopping center building. If trees are removed from TMPs 78-13A and 78-73A7, brief views of the west elevation may become available. ARB Meeting Date August 6, 2018 Staff Contact Margaret Maliszewski PROJECT HISTORY The ARB reviewed the initial site plan for this proposal on May 15, 2017. The action letter from that meeting is included as Attachment A to this report and the comments made at the meeting are listed in the Analysis table, below. Ell ►F.1 W&I KI REF GUIDELINE MAY 15, 2017 CURRENT ISSUE RECOMMENDATION COMMENT Purpose 1 The goal of the regulation of the design of development - The proposed brick and stone materials reflect building materials None. within the designated Entrance Corridors is to insure that new traditionally used in the area, but the overall form and detailing of the development within the corridors reflects the traditional building do not have a close connection to the historic architecture of architecture of the area. Therefore, it is the purpose of ARB the area. The design is expected to contribute to orderly and attractive review and of these Guidelines, that proposed development development within the corridor. within the designated Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design characteristic of the significant historical landmarks, buildings, and structures of the Charlottesville and Albemarle area, and to promote orderly and attractive development within these corridors. Applicants should note that replication of historic structures is neither required nor desired. 2 Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville - As viewed from the EC, the proposed church will rise beyond None. and Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of existing and proposed street trees. Street trees and parking lot trees buildings, land, and vegetation. In order to accomplish the will help integrate the building into the surroundings. The proposed integration of buildings, land, and vegetation characteristic of brick and stone materials will provide a minimal connection to these sites, the Guidelines require attention to four primary historic architecture and will increase compatibility with surrounding factors: compatibility with significant historic sites in the buildings. area; the character of the Entrance Corridor; site development and layout; and landscaping. Compatibility with significant historic sites: 3 New structures and substantial additions to existing structures - The proposed building does not have an overt connection to the None. should respect the traditions of the architecture of historically historic architecture of the area, but the materials provide a minimal significant buildings in the Charlottesville and Albemarle connection, and the materials and colors are compatible with nearby area. Photographs of historic buildings in the area, as well as buildings. drawings of architectural features, which provide important examples of 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. Compatibility with the character of the Entrance Corridor 5 It is also an important objective of the Guidelines to establish - Brick and stone are the primary materials proposed for the building. None. a pattern of compatible architectural characteristics The colors are medium to dark brown. These colors are darker than throughout the Entrance Corridor in order to achieve unity the red brick which is typical in the area, but the brick and stone are and coherence. Building designs should demonstrate expected to appear compatible without being duplicative. sensitivity to other nearby structures within the Entrance Corridor. Where a designated corridor is substantially developed, these Guidelines require striking a careful balance between harmonizing new development with the existing character of the corridor and achieving compatibility with the significant historic sites in the area. Structure design 9 Building forms and features, including roofs, windows, The proposed forms and features of the architectural design do not None. doors, materials, colors and textures should be compatible have a strong connection to the historic architecture of the area, but with the forms and features of the significant historic they are expected to be sufficiently compatible, particularly buildings in the area, exemplified by (but not limited to) the considering the distance from the EC street. buildings described in Appendix A [of the design guidelines]. The standard of compatibility can be met through scale, materials, and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is contemporary as well as traditional.

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 following: a. Large shade trees should be planted parallel to the Entrance Corridor Street. Such trees should be at least 3'/2 inches caliper (measured 6 inches above the ground) and should be of a plant species common to the area. 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. An area of sufficient width to accommodate the foregoing plantings and fencing should be reserved parallel to the Entrance Corridor street, and exclusive of road right-of-way and utility easements. 33 Landscaping along interior roads: Add trees east of the Trees are provided east of the eastern site entrance along Rolkin Road Confirm that the pipe on a.

An organized pattern of roads, service lanes, bike paths, and pedestrian walks should guide the layout of the site. b. In general, buildings fronting the Entrance Corridor street should be parallel to the street. Building groupings should be arranged to parallel the Entrance Corridor street. c. Provisions should be made for connections to adjacent pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems. d. Open spaces should be tied into surrounding areas to provide continuity within the Entrance Corridor. e. If significant natural features exist on the site (including creek valleys, steep slopes, significant trees or rock outcroppings), to the extent practical, then such 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. f.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion: 1. The general character and form of the building 2. The metal panels at the upper walls 3. The proposed materials and colors of the building Staff recommends approval of the proposal with the following conditions: 1. Consider a treatment other than the metal panels at the top of the building for a more cohesive appearance. 2. Consider painting the rooftop equipment to match the metal wall panels beyond. 3. Revise the lighting plan to coordinate the labels for the light fixture cut sheet, the lighting schedule, and the light pole locations. 4. Revise the lighting plan to include all external wall -mounted lights and any ground -mounted lights intended to illuminate the building. 5. Confirm that the pipe on the north side of Rolkin Road is sufficiently deep to allow for the planting of trees above. 6. Shift trees to resolve all landscape/utility conflicts. 10 TABLE A This report is based on the following submittal items: Sheet # Drawing Name Drawing Date/Revision Date C1 Cover Sheet 6/25/18 C2 Proffers 5/18/18 C3 Existing Conditions & Demo 5/18/18 C4 Site Overview/Sight Distance Lines 5/18/18 C5 Site Plan 5/18/18 C6 Utility Plan 5/18/18 C7 Grading Plan 5/18/18 C8 Landscaping Plan 5/18/18 C9 Landscaping Plan & Details 5/18/18 C10 Lighting Plan 5/18/18 C 11 Drainage Map 5/18/18 C12 Stormpipe Profiles and Details 5/18/18 C13 Water & Sewer Profiles and Details 5/18/18 C14 Site Details 5/18/18 A101 Basement Level Floor Plan - A102 Main Level Floor Plan - A103 Mezzanine Level 10/2/17 A201 Exterior Elevations 12/13/17 A202 Exterior Elevations 6/12/18 A301 Building Sections 6/12/18 - Entry Corridor Exhibit 6-26-2018 Materials: Manufactured stone veneer: Eldorado Stone Mountain Ledge, "Durango'; Face brick: General Shale "Mallory Creek"; Insulated metal panel: Metlspan CF Flute wall panel "Brownstone"; Metal flashing, parapets, gutters, downspouts: PAC Clad "Midnight Bronze" a CO [1 r*7Y OF ALRE MARLE NP9rim4nt bf ['ommunitr llcrrinpmrnt 401 Nlclnibrc Road, north 14'ing Charlotteariliv, Virginia 22902-4i96 Phunc (434) 296-5832 Fax (434) 972.4126 May 19, 2017 Justin Shimp CIO Shimp Engineering 201 Fast Main St. Suite M Charlottesville VA 22902 RE: ARB•2017i34: Hanson Road Church - Digital Dear Mr. Shimp, At is meeting on Monday, May 15. 2017, the Albemarle County Architectura' Review Board unanimously voted to forward the folrowing recommendations on the above -noted Initial Site Development Plan to the agent for the Site Review Cortimittee: Regarding reguiremens to satisfy the design guidelires as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and (5) and recommended conditions o` initial plan approval: 1.
