(RECAP: The proposed six-tale Standard building on West Main Street returned to the Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review on Tuesday, more than three years after the panel first signed off on its design. Georgia-based Landmark Properties had to amend the original certificate of appropriateness approved by the BAR in January 2014 because one of the building’s corners must be modified to meet federal regulations. The BAR approved a demolition permit to take down the existing three-tale Republic Plaza in August 2013. That work has not yet occurred. Republic Plaza was built in 1988 and incorporated a building that used to house a Safeway grocery store. The Standard is plotted as a six-tale apartment building with 644 bedrooms. There will be 7,000 square feet of commercial space.)
