From the Streetscape Master Plan draft:
AMOCO STATION AT LOUDOUN & MAIN STREET INTERSECTION
"The Amoco Station in Round Hill occupies a visually prominent site in
the heart of Town. While a service station use generally doesn’t
contribute to the historic character of a location, there are a number
of design opportunities that can help this type of use fit more
harmoniously with the surrounding context and be more compatible with
the architectural character of its surroundings. At such time as any
upgrades or improvements are made to the Amoco Station and surrounding
buildings on the property, there is an opportunity for the Town to work
with the owners/developers on achieving a better architectural “fit”
with Round Hill.
The following Recommendations summarize key design opportunities for
adding more landscaping, improving access and circulation and upgrading
the sidewalk and streetscape around the edges of the property. In
addition, the recommendations are supported by an Illustrative Plan
showing one potential way of achieving the recommendations on the site
and by a series of Compatible Design Examples, showing built examples
of compatible gas station architecture and signage in Virginia and
elsewhere.
These recommendations are not intended to require a specific
development plan but to establish a general design framework for the
site. Design suggestions shown on private parcels will have to be
coordinated with property owners at the time that specific improvements
are proposed by the owner or business."
