Approvals process

Plans were submitted to the city in the fall of 2012. [4] The Charlottesville Planning Commission got its first look that October. [5]

The Board of Architectural Review voted 4-2 in October 2012 to say that the current design would pose a risk to the West Main architectural district. [6] The Planning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval of the necessary special use permits in November 2012, with Lisa Green voting against. [7]

The Charlottesville City Council approved a special use permit for the Plaza in a 4-1 vote in December 2012, despite concerns that it would negatively impact the character of West Main Street.[8]

The Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review voted to modify portions of the building before approving the designs in 2013. The controversial modified plans included enclosing an outdoor plaza, increasing the us of HandiPanel cladding and darkening the paint scheme. [9]

Construction began in the summer of 2013 at a time when many other residential complexes were either under construction or planned. [10] [11]

Construction was completed in August 2014. [12]

The developers made a $487,490.59 CAHF contribution in lieu of providing affordable housing.[13][14]
