a ne-r8 classification, entitled R -3A, Low-density I'ALalti-fam- ly,
and proposing the -regulations for such a district.
1. Psnoang the residential zones described and regulated
in the Zoning Cone of Burlingame there is r. distinct lack of
a type cehich may be called "low density multiple dwelling
The sia5gle-family or R-•1 zone, which is further divided by
minimum lot Niue areas of 5000 square feet, 7000 square feet
and. 10,s' 00 s€ouare feet in designated areas, pro -,Ades for a
variety of :residential districts and represents C-R. of the
land area, of the city.
.the apt, Duplex zone, is applied to 2.4% of she city
but the building of new duplexes or the comm -Psion of single-
family d.,elliTngs to duplezr u.se has practically ceased, In the
years from 1960 to the p,:etsr mt time, not one duplex has been
constructed.
2. The it -3, rw'.�I.t' a'e®Lanmily dwelling, zone can be con-
sidered
on-•side ed as medium density, except that in a raumber of legal
applications of the regalati-- s to actual construction, the
land has been crowded to produce the largest number of units
possible. This was not always true, but it is forced by the
lane costs applied to areas zoned for apartments. builders
once provided ample open space and large apartment units
without urging, but this is no longer economically possible.
3. The proposed zone limits the number of dwelling units
to one per 1500 square feet of land. For comparison, the R-3
zone allows, teased on design of the apartment building, one
unit per 600 to 900 square feet of land.. To further insure
attractive appearance, the garages may not be banked in the
front of the building and landscaping of portions of the
property is required. While conversions are permitted, plans
insist be submitted to the Planning Commission to lessen the
possibilities of buildings that would be disadvantageous to
the neighborhood,
A nein idea has been introduced in the proposed regu-
lations, t,�roviding a bonus of 107. for combining lots and
e-zectipg mcn--e desirable buildings on the larger Property.
and tihae open space of single-family dwelling
areas. An integral provision of such zones is the limitation
to the number of units permitted in relationship to the area
of the lot. Buildings can be designed which provide either
