Public Comments:
David Zigal, manager of property at 477 Rollins Road: Have had no discussions with the developer
regarding the property at rear. Don't know how an easement can be created that only exists on 473 Rollins
Road, when driveway serves both 473 and 477 Rollins Road. Will need to work with the architect and
property owner to clarify easement.
Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing.
Commission Comments/Direction:
> Like changes made to project in terms of material. Feels warmer and more residential than it did
before.
> Don't quite fully understand the front entry atrium area with sloped roof, but get that architect was
trying to decrease its' large profile and bring down height and massing.
> Given the complications of the lot configuration, am in support of front setback variance; solution for
determining setbacks on this irregular shaped lot helps mitigate the issue because it gives them yard
space and space for extensive landscaping.
> Architecture is contemporary in a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of that, but there are a number
of apartment buildings and other types of eclectic styles.
> Revised design is less bulky, especially at front of house.
> Like softness of wood paneling.
> Helps to have renderings with the Cypress trees and trees to be planted.
> Easement is for access and can be used for staging and parking during construction, but residents of
buildings on either side rely on this area to get in and out of their living spaces; encourage applicant to
speak with tenants in all buildings prior to construction.
> The design has improved and like material palette better, but still doesn't feel like it doesn't reach the
bar in terms of residential massing we see in this neighborhood. Architecture should stand on its own and
not rely on landscape screening so that it is hidden from everything around it.
> In support of front setback variance based on uniqueness of lot.
> Modern style is good solution for an odd-shaped lot, but doesn't meet the threshold in terms of
compatibility with the neighborhood.
> Addition of natural wood material helps a lot.
> Doesn't hang together very well, but it may be due to the shape of the building. Worry about some of
the detailing, not sure how some of it works.
Commissioner Comaroto made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Terrones, to approve the
application.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5 - Comaroto, Terrones, Tse, Gaul, and Loftis
Nay: 2 - Sargent, and Kelly

Commission Comments/Direction:
> Consider reducing width of window to right of larger bay to match the width of the three -paneled window
in the larger bay; looks like it's out of rhythm.
> Like revisions proposed, they are relatively minor.
> Solution is appropriate.
> New added pier should be pushed back from facade to let the original architecture of the building read
through.
Commissioner Kelly made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Tse, to approve the application
with the following condition:
> That the project shall return to the Planning Commission for review of an FYI prior to
building permit issuance for revisions to address the treatment of the right side of the front
facade.

Commission Comments/Direction:
> Proposed style of house seems out of place for neighborhood of bungalow and craftsman style
homes. Struggling with this house fitting in with the houses on this block.
> Site plan shows new fence along right side property line. Encourage builder and property owner
coordinate with neighbor to work out details of fence, whether fence will turn into front corner of garage or
continue past garage to rear property line.
> Reduce size of clay tube gable vents from six to three or four inches in diameter.
> Neighborhood is eclectic, design could fit in nicely and be a nice change for neighborhood. Project is
nicely scaled, details are important.
> Second floor balcony is off a master bedroom and is less than 100 square feet, therefore see no
issue.
> Project is so well articulated that the scale will broken down and fit in with neighborhood.
> Appreciate consideration of the neighbor to the right regarding alighnment of windows as it they relate
to maintaining privacy.

Commission Comments/Direction:
City of Burlingame Printed on 6/18/2019 Page 6
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 13, 2019
> Lot is narrow, so the house appears tall and skinny; consider lowering the ridge. Concerned with
height of the structure. Applicant noted that house is in a flood plain, finished floor is one foot above the
minimum required, so starting higher because of the floor plain. Finished first floor elevation could come
down six inches, would need to discuss with homeowner.
> Concerned with blank wall on north elevation, almost void of windows altogether except for two awning
windows. Consider adding more windows or other articulation along north elevation. This side of the
house is very sheer and so unlike the rest of the house, turns its back on the neighborhood. The north
elevation needs work.
> Reconsider floor plan layout to be able add windows or articulate the north facade better. For
example, along right side of house leading to kitchen there is a lot of storage space, including a very large
pantry, mud room and coat room. Could narrow width of pantry and provide another return of countertop on
right side of kitchen, creating a u-shaped arrangement. This would allow additional cabinetry so that you
could give up some cabinet space for additional kitchen windows.
> Might be an opportunity to add some windows in the stairwell, could bring in additional light to the foyer
area.
> Provide sample of proposed Hardie siding and address of house where this siding has been used.
> Encourage you to revisit saving as much of the existing front yard landscaping as possible.
> On South Elevation, look at extending shed roofs on left and right of second floor bay projection so
that it hugs the bay.
> Concerned with height at rear of house, seems tall due to absence of a first floor roof line. Could
consider adding an awning roof or trellis over the French doors at rear of house to help break up the
massing.
> This is a charming design and like the direction that it's headed.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Kelly, to place this item on
the Regular Action Calendar when the plans have been revised as directed.
Discussion of Motion:
> Height of house is still troubling, stems from houses across the street that we've approved.
Concerned about ending up with a lot of tall, skinny houses on the block. Don't think it's good
development for the neighborhood. Applicant should look reducing the height in some way.
Could reduce plate heights and coffer ceilings.
> Dropping the spring point down to the second floor might work to reduce the height.
> One of the drawbacks of front facing gable design is that to get a second floor, you end up
with some kind of dormer on the side the house that is hard to mass properly.

c. 2711 Burlingview Drive, zoned R-1 - Application for Design Review, Hillside Area

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 13, 2019
Public Comments:
Mark Hudak, representing Peter and Ferial Zaarour, 2717 Burlingview Drive: Unlike some cities along the
Peninsula, Burlingame has a Hillside Ordinance that protects distant views and every view is unique .
Some years ago the Commission denied a second story addition because it had determined that a row of
Eucalyptus trees in the distance was worthy of protection. View enjoyed from the Zaarour residence is
spectacular, have views of the airport, San Bruno Mountain, Bay Bridge and top of San Francisco skyline;
is particularly beautiful at night. These are the views the Zaarours' are trying to protect. Don't agree that
the Hillside Ordinance is one that is based on compromise, balancing and mitigation. When you're going
to lose views, that it what the Hillside Ordinance is designed to protect. Had an architect use the plans
and superimpose two of the designs over the view from the windows in the Zaarour residence, which shows
that the view will be completely blocked, they'll lose it all together. Even in the roof height is dropped by a
foot or two or the addition slightly reconfigured, it won't make a difference because that view will be lost .
Requested Variance will have a signifcant impact on downhill neighbor because second floor addition
would be looming over them. This is a challenging lot, but don't think the proposed project could be
possible approved under the Hilllside Ordinance and there just may not be a right project for this lot, but
certainly not a second story addition.
Vera Zaarour, daughter of Peter and Ferial Zaarour: Live part time in California only to visit family and in
Oregon; member of an architectural review committee in Oregon where we oversee 784 hillside homes, so
am aware of these situations. Provided photographs and described views from house. All options that
were shown on the plans would block views from the house, their roofline in any of the options would line
up with the bottom of our roof eave and therefore block our views. Parents spend all of their time in the
living areas, have three panoramic windows that provide long distant views. Houses are actually 12 feet
apart, not 16 feet as shown on the building elevations. Hired architect to superimpose all three addition
options onto photographs, all show 100% view blockage. Second story addition just doesn't work here .
Parents have owned house for over 40 years.
Jeannie Zaarour, daughter of Peter and Ferial Zaarour: Grew up in house at 2717 Burlingview Drive, along
with parents, three sisters and brother; moved to Burlingame from San Francisco over 41 years ago.
Parents chose Burlingame because they wanted a better life for their family and a wonderful community to
raise their children in. Chose this house because it was situated on a hill with breathtaking views .
Windows along east side of house bring in natural light and picturesque backdrop of nature and life into
kitchen, dining area and family room, rooms that we spend all of our time as a family. Views are part of
the home, parents enjoy views, spend most of their time in the family and living rooms and kitchen .
Anyone who visits house immediately compliments beautiflul views. View never get old, still enjoy views
everyime I visit my parents. Provide family with peace, happiness and gratitude. Views bring serenity and
satisfaction to parents, would be a detriment to there health and well -being if views are blocked. Parents
are concerned that the home and atmosphere they've created for their family and generations to come will
disappear along with their view.
Richard Murphy, 2625 Summit Drive: Moved into house 26 years ago, moved to area for views and privacy .
Concerned with integrity of hillsides based on slides that have occured in the past in the area; concerned
that project has grown from an additional bedroom to a game room, second family room, office, bar and
bathroom on the second floor; hillside is very fragile, any construction could result in a major problem.
Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing.
Commission Comments/Direction:
> Not seeing excxeptional or extraordinary circumstances being asked to consider in the Variance
application. Justification in revised Variance application could include the fact that this lot, versus other
standard lots that the zoning code regulates, is subject to the Hillside Area Construction Permit
City of Burlingame Printed on 6/18/2019 Page 8
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 13, 2019
ordinance. Have at times considered, because of the view issue, some variances in order to find an
achievable project that doesn't violate the Hillside Area Construction Permit ordinance. If moving forward
with this design, should revisit Variance application to include proper findings for what the exceptional or
extraordinary circumstances are for this project. Should also revisit findings in Special Permit application
for declining height envelope to include excxeptional or extraordinary circumstances based on lot slope
and design that doesn't violate the Hillside Area Construction Permit ordinance.
> Consider a single story floor plan to meet the program requirements. There may be an opportunity at
the front of the property to expand the garage and first floor forward and also incorporating the courtyard
into the house. Consider expanding on the lower levels to achieve space without adding a new upper floor.
> Single story addition could be proposed in large level are in rear yard; useable yard could then be
moved to the front of the building above a depressed garage.
> Need to have story poles installed to analyze the project. Hard to imagine that there wouldn't be a
significant view blockage. Can't remember of an application where we approved a project that resulted in
the kind of view blockage that I would imagine story poles would show us; can't see application moving
forward under the current program.
> Aside from miscommunications that may have ocurred and letter writing from neighbors, real story will
be told by the story poles. Clear that story poles are required for this project to move forward.
> Based on past interpretations by this Commission for projects of this sort, it's not a question of
whether or not the view is blocked to a minor degree, if there is view blockage we've typically denied the
application and have required revisions. Applicant will need to decide once going through the story pole
process if they want to move foward with this particular application. They have the opportunity to revise the
project and return for additional study and inpute.
> Encourage applicant to coordinate with neighbors.
Commissioner Kelly made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Tse, to place this item on the
Regular Action Calendar and to require installation of story poles for the proposed design.
Discussion of Motion:
> If applicant returns with same program, then story poles would be required. But if significant
changes are made, not sure if story poles should be installed prior the meeting.
> If significant changes are made, project would likely need to come back to the Commission
for additional study because it would then be a different project.
> Find it hard to believe they can't determine without story poles that as currently proposed
there will be view impacts.
City Attorney Kane noted that the applicant can withdraw the current plans and submit revised
plans; applicant can then assess the question of installing story poles if the plans are
substantially different; project may return as a design review study item without having to install
story poles at that time.

Public Comments:
Raymond Pistalozia, 305 Adrian Road, Millbrae and representing neighbor at 365 Adrian Road, Millbrae:
Concerned with congestion at corner of Adrian Road and Rollins Road, there have been many accidents at
this location, in some cases included fatalities. Also concerned about the projects' proximity to high
power voltage lines. Feel this type of project should be located closer to the train and BART station, not
in the middle of an industrial area. Project would be feasible if it included townhomes and live/work units.
James Kendle, representing Carpenters Union Local 217: Developer should be held to a higher standard in
serving the needs of the community. SummerHill has no commitment to labor; carpenters seek to earn a
fair wage with medical and retirement benefits that allows workers and families a chance to live in the
communities they work in. Wages can be reinvested back into the local economic community; out of
town workers take their earning back home with them. Please consider potential impact to community that
is a direct result of choices made after project is entitled. Also stress importance of apprenticeship
programs. Hope responsible labor practices will be considered before the project is approved.

> Very excited for this project; to see the evolution of the General Plan and the creation of specific plan
for this area start to come to fruition is exciting; having SummerHill engaged on the project is a great
opportunity to move forward in this area.
> Project is a pioneer in an area we are trying to get developed as one of the first projects; it's a
transitional area. Based on the General Plan Update, this is a good project to start as that pioneer.
> This a mixed use project, proposed architecture works in an area that is transitioning; fits in with the
existing context but also paves the way for future potential residential developments in this area.
> Like transition from commercial corner to the public residential spaces, then to the residential walk -in
units, and then to the paseo and park area.
> Public entry plaza will evolve over time, and because it fronts on Adrian Court provides SummerHill an
opportunity to work with the residents to create events in the plaza and cul -de-sac, perhaps close the
street for some periods and start to develop some sense of community.
> Nice to see tiered development process working.
> Have chosen a good palette of materials.
> Good public spaces provided in project.
> Did you consider any other commercial space along Adrian Court? Wondering if there could be an
opportunity for more mixed use, is an attractive building and you may get a lot of interest.
> When project returns, provide solution for blank concrete wall at the rear of the building facing the dog
park.
> Bridge looks out of place, but not a deal-breaker.

Commission Comments/Direction:
>Don't see justification for the changes being proposed. Remember going through the details on this
specific project. Many of the details were there to make the house fit in with the neighborhood and make
the design cohesive. Think the panels above and below the front bay window really add to the design, not
in agreement with the applicant that it improves the design.
>Don't see the smaller changes as a cost issue, including the removal of the belly band, corbels and
shutters. Think the corbels add a lot and belly band helps on the larger expanses of the walls, so am not
in favor of removing those elements.
>Don't think Hardi siding is a material that works in Burlingame, looks cheap, feel that it doesn't fit in
with neighborhood. When visited site, of the houses that have shingle and horizontal siding, very few of
them had corner caps, most had mitered corners. Not seeing Hardi siding as a viable option for this type
of a house.
>Steel doors for garage won't hold up as well as wood, so not if favor of changing the garage door
material.
>Design is fairly bulky, one of the reasons it was approvable before because the details that were
additive were helping to give some scale, break down the massing and add charm.
>Would consider eliminating the belly band above the garage door since there is a trellis feature above
it already.
>Removing the panels on the front bay window ends up making it look like a bay that was retrofitted
with siding.
>Wouldn't have approved this if project was initially proposed this way, would have asked for some
additional detail and articulation to bring charm to the proposed solution.
>Not so worried about the belly band, however am concerned with removal of the details at the front
bay window.
>Not opposed to removing shutters at rear of house, but think the other details should be retained.
>Added details, especially at the front of the house, do add charm to the home where there are a
number of elements that are protruding.
>Okay with removing the belly band above the garage and some of the details at the rear of the house
since they will be less visible from the street and neighbors.
>Details at front of house and corbels that are visible from the side are nice additives.
Commissioner Terrones made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Comaroto to approve the
application to only include removal of the belly band above the garage door and at the rear of
the house and removal of the shutters at the rear of the house, as amended in condition of
approval No. 1:
>that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date
stamped May 11,2017, sheets A0.0 through L1.1, with revised elevations date stamped May 2,
2019; and to only include removal of the belly band above the garage door and at the rear of the
house and removal of the shutters at the rear of the house;
Discussion of Motion:
>Does the motion include retaining the belly band at the rear of the house? Maker of the
motion clarified that the motion also includes removal of the belly band at the rear of the house.

John Nguyen, represented the applicant.
Public Comments:
John Nuttman, 830 Crossway Road: Live on a hill, concerned with water runoff from property. Previous
house had a concrete curb that ran along driveway from the front of the site to the garage at the rear, curb
was also part of the foundation for the old garage. Contractor graded the lot and the curb, which acted as
a water deterrent, has been removed. Water runoff from his property will affect other lots that are located
downhill. Have not seen anything being done regarding controlling the water on the site.
Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing.
Commission Comments/Direction:
>Appears that plate height on front porch is more than 8'-0", perhaps 8'-6" or 9'-0". Would like to see
plate height at front porch come down to 8'-0", would have better scale with the neighborhood.
>Encourage applicant to meet with neighbor regarding fencing and closure of the two properties.
>Have concerns that house was getting too tall and bulky for the neighborhood, but see that entire first
floor of house was brought down by 1 foot. However, have concerns regarding the height of the front
porch, which are encouraged in the design guidelines. There is a sense of scale with porches, lose scale
when porches get 8 to 9 feet or taller, and doesn't fit in with the neighborhood. Increasing height of
windows and porch is not acceptable.
>Increase in window and door heights is acceptable, but have concerns with increasing plate height on
front porch.
>Adding eyebrow roof above French doors is a good revision, adds scale to that elevation.
>Could consider approving the application with lowering the front porch plate height to 8 feet or lower,
with no change to the slope of the porch roof.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Terrones to approve the
application with the following amended condition:
>that the front porch plate height shall be reduced to 8 feet or lower above finished floor, with
no change to the slope of the porch roof.

9. DESIGN REVIEW STUDY
a.217 Channing Road, zoned R -1 - Application for Design Review for a new, two -story
single family dwelling and detached garage. (Rob Wehmeyer, RC Wehmeyer, applicant
and designer; Somrat and Sarah Niyogi, property owners) (140 noticed) Staff Contact:
Erika Lewit
All Commissioners had visited the project site. There were no ex-parte communications to report.
Associate Planner 'Amelia Kolokihakaufisi provided an overview of the staff report.
Chair Comaroto opened the public hearing.
Rob Wehmeyer, represented the applicant.
Public Comments:
David Harris, Howard Avenue: Seems to be a pattern of building houses to maximum footprint and FAR
and not taking into account adjacent houses, which are typically single story. Looks like an acceptable
design, can't read architectural plans but would hope that it fits in with character of neighborhood and not
another house on steroids. Overtime what's happening on the east side is that there are more large
houses that are eroding the neighborhood character. It's an ongoing concern.
Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing.
Commission Comments/Direction:
>There is a large hedge along right side which fills in the area between the neighbors driveway and the
wall of this house. Will that hedge remain? (Wehmeyer: Don't know at this point. Client's concern is the
daylight coming into this side of the house, but also would like to protect her privacy. Because the house
was considered new construction, this side of the house was set back an additional 1'-6" to comply with
current code regulations. Client will discuss this with the neighbor.) Try to resolve prior to coming back to
Planning Commission.
>If hedge is removed along right side of house, consider bringing fence forward and extend stone
veneer to front of fence. Along left side of house, consider extending stone veneer to inside corner where
the houses changes planes.
>Concerned that 10-inch fascias with box ends add bulk to the house. Many of the houses in the
neighborhood contain simple rake barge rafters or fascias with simple terminations. Consider reducing
fascias and turn down eaves from 2x10 to 2x8. Look at other houses in neighborhood.
>Is there a reason you need to have corner boards on the shingles and siding? Can those be mitered?
(Wehmeyer: They can be mitered if we switch to wood. Originally, this project was supposed to be a
remodel, but turned into a different project now that it's being considered new construction, so had to
factor in cost and budget. Hardi material is difficult to miter, it just falls apart. Tried to work out a detail
with the boards that would work well the rest of the exterior siding and materials.)
>Consider widening the entry door to at least 36 inches, would be a more comfortable entry door if it
was wider.
>Concerned that stone veneer looks stuck on without any depth. Provide specifications and /or sample
of proposed stone veneer.
Page 5City of Burlingame Printed on 6/20/2019
May 28, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
>Concerned with what mechanical equipment will be visible on outside of house; show on building
elevations.
>Consider adding chimney in between windows along right side or show cap on wall for gas fireplace.
>Concernedd with use of Hardi siding and corner boards.
>Consider adding a window or windows in the kitchen to break up blank wall along right side of house
at rear. (Wehmeyer:
>Important to look at the scale and relative delicacy of the details in the context of the neighborhood.
>Existing house has certain amount of charm and character that is contributing to the neighborhood.
>Project is well crafted, but revisiting the details will bring the proposed project back to be in keeping
with the character with the rest of the neighborhood in terms of scale, charm and detail.
>Revisit siding and cornerboards, mitered corners are softer.
>Proposed siding doesn't make house fit into neighborhood anymore. Blending in with the existing
neighborhood is a key consideration of the design guidelines.
>For single story houses of this era, the trend was to have raised floors, typically three feet above
grade. Adding a second floor raises the overall height to the maximum allowed. Creates a much larger
house than if the floor height were closer to the existing grade. Would encourage applicant to lower the
finished floor closer to grade.

Acting Chair Tse opened the public hearing.
Christian Ruffat, represented the applicant.
Public Comments:
Sherrie Petersen, 1541 Cypress Avenue: Applicant has not contacted any of the neighbors about the
proposed project. Being able to see the drawings before the meeting was very helpful. Concerned with
three windows looking directly into our backyard, this is not acceptable, already had to grow trees to block
the second story behind us. The side of the house now is not well take care of. Last renter turned garage
into a drum studio, so it's not currently functioning as a garage. If garage will be used for parking, will
need to widen the opening. One side of garage is adjacent to yard and acts like a fence, want to make
sure yard is useable if garage is being replaced. Would like to see fence repaired or replaced. Competed
small addition on our house, did not need Planning Commission review, but were very careful to keep the
historic nature of the house. An Italian family lived in this house and they built our house for their

daughter, which was one of the first women who graduated from Stanford and first female superintendent
of Mills High School.
Unidentified speaker: House at corner of Barroilhet Avenue and Cypress Avenue used frosted windows to
provide privacy and still let in natural light, could be a consideration here rather than eliminating windows.
Acting Chair Tse closed the public hearing.
Commission Comments/Direction:
>Carport added something to the original character of the house. Will need to see what Page &
Turnbull says in terms of the historical evaluation and how much you're proposing affects the historic
resource. One potential mitigation might be to keep the carport, in which case you might ask that we
consider some variances for lot coverage and FAR because the extraordinary or unique situation that you'll
be facing is this house being a historic resource.
>It appears that some of the details on the detached garage have been removed from the drawings,
including existing braces at the ridgeline and at the eaves. Are you proposing to remove those or are they
just not shown on the drawings? (Ruffat: Didn't think to add them on the drawings.) Think it's important
that you shown them on the drawings if these features will be retained, because it's one more indication to
the historic resource evaluator that you're not altering this existing resource.
>Is there any reason why the proposed new garage door couldn't be of the same character as the
existing half crossbuck door that is on the garage now? May help with the historic resource evaluation and
what you need to do in order to mitigate potential impacts. Crossbuck design translates to the crossbuck
design that is in the carport and side gate. (Ruffat: Don't see any reason why it could not.)
>Proposal includes replacing the shutters and front window, which has a lot of character. Is it critical to
the design? (Ruffat: It's a fixed glass window, had to make a decision to maintain that pattern of glass or
have a one-off element. Chose to have new operable windows instead of a pane of glass.) Would
encourage you to consider retaining the window, suspect that historic evaluator will look at the large
picture window with the details and muntins and deem that that element is one of the contributors the
house being a potential historic resource.
>What is slope of existing roof? (Ruffat: Think it is 7:12). Please confirm on plans.
>Consider reducing the size of some of the rooms to reduce lot coverage, would make it easier to
justify a variance.
>Retaining the carport would really add to the design.
>Clearly show all architectural details at front of house on existing and proposed front elevations .
Specifically show elements cited in the historic resource evaluation on front elevation.
>Front window combines with other architectural elements on the front of the building that helps to hold
the design together.
>Carport is strong element of design of existing house and think there is a way to retain it by reducing
other areas of the house.
>Consider mimicking the existing chimney cap on the new extended chimney.
>Front elevation notes that existing roof is to remain. However, it's not reading similarly on the right
elevation; please revise accordingly.
>Design if fairly well crafted, massing generally follows what we encourage in the design review
guidelines. Plate heights at 9 feet and 8 feet are not grandiose and fall within the limits of what we
encourage.
>Since the main roof is proposed to remain at the front of the house, strongly encourage retaining the
carport and length of existing house. Would be willing to consider a variance for lot coverage, perhaps for
floor area, in order to keep the existing carport. The stretch of roof, front facade, front window and perhaps
keeping the existing dormer would go a long way towards maintaining the existing historic resource that
may allow them to better convince the historic evaluator that the historic resource is not being impacted to
the level of significance that would require further mitigation.
>Encourage applicant to re -evaluate and closely look at the details before review by the historic
resource evaluator.
Page 7City of Burlingame Printed on 6/20/2019
May 28, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
>Can consider variance for lot coverage and/or floor area ratio for maintaining historic resource.
>Work with neighbor on issues that affect the property in terms of fences and plantings.
>See justification for variance for lot coverage since it is significantly being reduced. However, may be
more hard pressed to make findings for floor area ratio since there is a significant increase in floor area
with this project, would have a negative impact on the surrounding houses.
>Strongly encourage retaining the existing carport and long expanse of roof at front of house, cited in
historic resource report as contributors.
>Would like to see existing architectural details shown on existing building elevations and those to be
retained on the proposed building elevations.
>Encourage compliance with lot coverage and floor area ratio regulations. Floor plan is quite generous,
some area can be trimmed down to comply with lot coverage and floor area ratio requirements.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Terrones, to place this item
on the Regular Action Calendar when the plans have been revised as directed.
Comment on Motion:
>There are many ways that could allow the project to move forward with the historic resource
evaluation without coming back with negative findings that say the resource is being impacted
too significantly.
>Encourage applicant to closely look at the guidelines from the Secretary of the Interior,
because one of the things we're often asked to consider as mitigation for projects like this when
we have a historic resource is that the addition sets itself off from the existing house, so they
could look at the materials that are used on the addition and that often times is what allows the
historic resource evaluator to determine that the original architecture is clearly delineated.

>Clarify if there will be an increase or decrease in declining height envelope encroachment with revision
to the project.
>Include list of existing front setbacks of neighboring houses. Generally accept argument that this is a
unique situation and that average is based on a large number of houses. In reviewing neighborhood it
appears that many houses have similar setbacks to this house, but would be helpful to see numbers.
>Overall this is a nice design and it fits in with the scale of houses in neighborhood.
>See justification for Front Setback Variance for rebuilding the porch in its place.
>This is a unique situation with the sloping lot, see justification for Special Permit for declining height
envelope; house on right is located very close to this property and house on left will not be impacted to a
great extent.
>Regarding central window on second floor in master bathroom facing the street, would like to see
privacy protected in master bathroom. Consider repeating same size window on either side and adding a

Applicants and Property Owners: Jennifer and Matt Kulin APN: 029-015-270
Designer: Jesse Geurse, Geurse Conceptual Designs, Inc. Lot Area: 5,240 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions
to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase
of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Project Description: The subject property is located on an interior lot and contains 2,151 SF (0.41 FAR) of floor
area. The existing lot coverage is at 2,158 SF (41%) where 2,096 SF (40%) is the maximum allowed; a Minor
Modification for a first floor addition (113 SF) to increase the lot coverage to 41% was approved on April 27,
2012. Only interior improvements are proposed on the first floor; there would be no expansion to the existing
building footprint. The applicant is also proposing to construct a new second story (616 SF). With the proposed
project, the floor area will increase to 2,767 SF (0.53 FAR) where 2,777 SF (0.53 FAR) is the maximum allowed.
The proposed project is 10 SF under the maximum allowed FAR.
The number of potential bedrooms is increasing from three to five. Three parking spaces, two of which must be
covered, are required on site. The existing attached garage provides two covered parking spaces (19’-3” wide x
19’-0” deep clear interior dimensions) and one uncovered space (9’ x 18’) is provided in the driveway. Therefore,
the project is in compliance with off-street parking requirements. All other Zoning Code requirements have been
met. The applicant is requesting the following:
Design Review for a second story addition to an existing single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010
(a)(2)).

Staff Comments: A letter of concern about the proposed project was submitted by the adjacent neighb or at 834
Paloma Avenue (see attachments).
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on March 11, 2019,
the Commission made recommendations to improve the project and referred the application to a design review
consultant (see attached March 11, 2019 Planning Commission Minutes).
Listed below is a summary of the Commission’s recommendations:
Move second story addition forward so that there is less emphasis on the garage becoming the main
feature;
Reduce taller plate height on the second floor;
Window fenestration on the first and second floors should be compatible; and
Would like to see additional design detailing.
During public comments, the adjacent neighbor to the left of the subject property expressed concerns regarding
loss of privacy and shading of her fruit trees from the second floor addition.
A discussion of the analysis of the revised project and recommendation by the design review consultant is
provided in the next section.
Analysis and Recommendation by Design Reviewer: The design review consultant met with the original
project architect (Scott Kuehne, Suarez-Keuhne Architecture) and property owners to discuss the Planning
Commission's concerns with the project and reviewed proposed revisions to the plans. The design review
consultant also communicated with the homeowners and the original architect via email. Ultimately, the
homeowners decided to hire a new designer for the project.
The new project designer (Jesse Geurse, Geurse Conceptual Designs, Inc.) worked with the design review
consultant to address the Commission’s comments and submitted revised plans date stamped June 12, 2019 .
Please refer to the attached design reviewer’s analysis and recommendation, dated June 12, 2019, for a detailed
review of the project.
The design reviewer notes that “the new massing improves the relationship to and minimizes impacts to the
neighboring houses.” Based on the design review analysis of the project, the design r eviewer recommends
approval of the project as proposed.
Design Review 830 Paloma Avenue
3
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjace nt properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the addition (featuring
smooth cement plaster siding, hip and gable roofs, clay tile roofing, proportional plate heights, and aluminum
clad simulated true divided lite windows) is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and that the
windows and architectural elements of the proposed structure are p laced so that the structure respects the
interface with the structures on adjacent properties, therefore the project may be found to be compatible with the
requirements of the City’s five design review criteria.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission’s decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:

Conditional Use Permit for an Incidental Food Establishment
Address: 851 Burlway Road, Suite 900 Meeting Date: June 24, 2019
Request: Application for Conditional Use Permit for a new incidental food establishment in an existing multi-
use commercial building.
Applicant and Architect: Koichi Paul Nii, Nii Architects APN: 026-112-130
Property Owner: Elie Mehrdad Lot Area: 81,763 SF
General Plan: Bayfront Commercial Zoning: IB
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 - Existing facilities, Class 1(a) of the CEQA Guidelines,
which states that interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and
electrical conveyances are exempt from environmental review.
Previous Use: Storage/Warehouse
Proposed Use: Incidental food establishment (Mr. Teriyaki)
Allowable Use: Incidental food establishment with approval of a Conditional Use P ermit
Background: There are two commercial buildings on the subject property, including the main office building
(Kahala Tower) and accessory building being utilized as storage/warehouse. The main office building was built in
1964 and the storage building was added in 1984. There was a proposed addition to the main office building in
1999 which included a request for a Parking Variance and C onditional Use Permit; the project application was
approved but was never built since the approval expired and became invalid.
The applicant is proposing to convert a portion of the first floor of the storage bu ilding into an incidental food
establishment. Mr. Teriyaki is an existing restaurant in Burlingame currently located in the same zoning district
at 801 Mahler Road. They are seeking a larger restaurant space and to relocate to the subject property, if
approved.
Summary: The applicant, Koichi Paul Nii, representing Mr. Teriyaki, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use
Permit to operate an incidental food establishment at 851 Burlway Road, Suite 900, zoned IB. A Conditional Use
Permit is required because the proposed incidental food establishment varies from the criteria established in
Code Section 25.43.020 (e) (see discussion further in staff report).
The food establishment will contain customer seating, a kitchen, storage area and restrooms. The proposed food
establishment will have approximately 500 SF of indoor customer seating. The proposed tenant space measures
approximately 1,500 SF in area.
The proposed restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner during the weekdays and dinner on Saturdays. In his
letter date stamped February 8, 2019 (see attached), the applicant notes that “the new restaurant shall continue
to serve the area as the current restaurant’s location is nearby.”
An incidental food establishment in the IB zoning district is permitted by-right if they meet all of the following
criteria, per Code Section 25.43.020 (e): is not the primary use within a multi-use building, limited to 1,500 SF in
floor area (at least 15 feet in length and 15 feet in width), has operation hours between 6 AM to 5 PM (weekdays
only, no weekends), does not sell alcoholic beverages, and provides required parking. A Conditional Use Permit
is required in this case because 1) the incidental food establishment is proposed to be open later than 5 PM and
Item No. 8c
Regular Action Item
Conditional Use Permits 851 Burlway Road, Suite 900
2
on Saturdays and 2) the operator would like to sell alcoholic beverages.
The proposed food establishment would operate on weekdays Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 3:00
PM for lunch and 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM for dinner. They would also be open on Saturdays for dinner only during
the hours of 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM. The restaurant will have five full-time employees on the weekdays and on
Saturdays. There is no expected increase to the number of employees in the next five years. At opening, the
applicant projects up to 75 customers per day on weekdays and 25 customers on Saturday evenings. In the
future, the applicant expects that the number of customers will increase to 85 customers per day on the
weekdays and remain the same of amount of customers on Saturday evenings. A maximum of 15 people are
expected on site at any one time, including the owner, employees and customers.
The following application is required:
Conditional Use Permit for a new incidental food establishment in an existing multi-use commercial
building that varies from the following criteria (C.S. 25.43.020 (f):
- is open later than 5 PM and open on Saturdays; and
- sells alcoholic beverages.
With this application, there are no changes proposed to the front façade of the existing building, therefore this
project is not subject to Commercial Design Review.
Off-Street Parking: There are a total of 154 on-site parking spaces with an existing parking demand of 218
spaces for both the main office building and accessory storage building. Therefore, the existing parking on-site is
nonconforming. With the proposed application, there is an intensification of use resulting in an overall proposed
parking demand of 224 spaces. Specifically for the proposed tenant space , the existing parking demand
(storage/warehouse use) is 5 parking spaces and the proposed parking demand with the incidental food
establishment use is 11 parking spaces, for a difference of 6 additional parking spaces .
The applicant is proposing to restripe the front portion of the existing parking lot in order to add s even additional
code compliant parking spaces and bring the overall number of parking spaces on -site to 161 spaces. Please
refer to the table below for a breakdown of the uses and parking required on -site.

Staff Comments: The Planning Division would note that this application was brought directly to the Planning
Commission as a Regular Action Item since the applicant is proposing to add additional parking spaces to
comply with their parking requirement due to intensification of use , and there are no changes proposed to the
building façade that requires Commercial Design Revie w. However, if the Commission feels there is a need for
more discussion, this item may be placed on a future action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing
with direction to the applicant.
Required Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Permit for a full service
food establishment, the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code
Section 25.52.020 a-c):
(a) the proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be de trimental or injurious to property or
improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or
convenience;
(b) the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame ge neral plan
and the purposes of this title;
(c) the Planning Commission may impose such reasonable condi tions or restrictions as it deems necessary
to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the
aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity.
Suggested Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: That the proposed business is an incidental use relative to
the other uses on the site; that the use is compatible with the surrounding office and industrial uses in the zoning
district and with the General Plan; that the required off-street parking for the change in uses will be provided on
site; and that there are no proposed exterior changes to the building that will impact the streetscape or
surrounding businesses. For these reasons the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of
the City’s Conditional Use Permit criteria.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission’s decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning D ivision date stamped
June 13, 2019, sheets C1 through P4.1;
2. that this business location to be occupied by an incidental food establishment, with 500 SF of on-site
(indoor) customer seating area, may not expand its tenant space beyond 1,500 SF in gross floor area ;

3. that the 500 SF area of on-site (indoor) seating of the incidental food establishment shall be enlarged or
extended to any other areas within the tenant space or outdoors by an amendment to this conditional use
permit;
4. that this food establishment shall provide trash receptacle(s) as approved by the city consistent with the
streetscape improvements and maintain all trash receptacle(s) at the entrances to the building and at any
additional locations as approved by the City Engineer and Fire Department;

within fifty (50) feet of all frontages of the business;
6. that there shall be no food sales allowed at this location from a window or from any opening within 10' of
the property line; and
7. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building Cod e and California Fire Code,
in effect at the time of building permit submittal, as amended by the City of Burlingame, and that failure to
comply with these conditions or any change to the business or use on the site which would affect any of
these conditions shall require an amendment to this use permit .

Design Review and Special Permit
Address: 1345 Vancouver Avenue Meeting Date: June 24, 2019
Request: Application for Design Review and Special Permit for building height for a new, two-story single
family dwelling and detached garage.
Applicant and Designer: Josephn Ho APN: 027-151-110
Property Owner: Xiaochuang Lin Lot Area: 6,012 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Project Description: The proposed project includes a major first floor renovation, adding a new second story,
and building a new detached garage. Given that most of the existing walls will be removed, this project is being
reviewed as a new house and therefore must comply with current code regulations. The proposed new house
would contain a total floor area of 3,411 SF (0.56 FAR), where 3,412 SF (0.56 FAR) is the maximum allowed
(including a 96 SF covered front porch exemption). The proposed project is 1 SF below the maximum allowed
FAR.
The applicant is requesting a Special Permit for building height (35’-10⅛” proposed where 30’ is the maximum
allowed without approval of a Special Permit ). Planning staff would note that the lot slopes upward and that the
finished floor is 12 feet above average top of curb level (proposed project includes maintaining the existing first
floor level). All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The new single family dwelling will contain four bedrooms. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered,
are required. The new detached garage provides one covered parking space (17’-6”x 20’-0” clear interior
dimensions) and one uncovered space (9’-0”x 20’-0”) is provided in the driveway. Therefore, the project is in
compliance with off-street parking requirements. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The
applicant is requesting the following applications:
Design Review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010 (a)
(2)); and
Special Permit for building height (35’-10⅛” proposed where 30’-0” is the maximum allowed) (C.S.
25.26.060 (a) (1)).

Staff Comments: None
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit for building height, the Planning Commission
must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a -d):
(a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are
consistent with the existing structure’s design and with the existing street and neighborhood;
(b) the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new stru cture or
addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood;
(c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and
(d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is
consistent with the city’s reforestation requirements, and the mitigation for the removal that is proposed is
appropriate.

To the Planning Committee:
Thank you for your previous approval of the plan for 1628 Lassen Way. We are eager to start
the renovation and excited about the prospect of settling down and raising our family here in
Burlingame.
Since the approval, we have been spending more and more time walking through the
neighborhood and visiting open houses to get a better sense of the details we would like in our
home. Through this process, we have noticed more and more of the “contemporary modern”
homes being built/remodeled around Burlingame, and we have grown to really like and prefer
the style.
For these reasons we are submitting a change to our plan and appreciate your consideration.
Here are some examples of modern style homes we have seen being build around Ray
Park/Easton Addition in Burlingame that are consistent with the look we would like to design.

FYI to the Planning Commission that shows a revised landscape plan; that the revised
landscape plan shall show a 7-foot tall fence that complies with Chapter 25.78 of the
Burlingame Municipal Code along the rear property line and additional landscape

documentation to show that the property owner to the rear the subject property (at 144
Occidental Avenue) has reviewed and agrees to the revised landscape changes.
Please refer to the attached letter submitted by the project architect, dated June 12, 2019, in
response to the Commission’s direction as it pertains to the condition of approval above. The
landscape plan, date stamped June 13, 2019, has been revised to show a new 7-foot tall fence
along the rear property line (will be limited to 6-foot solid + 1-foot of lattice), two new landscape
trees in the right, rear corner of the lot (Raywood Ash and Chinese Tallow), and a privacy hedge
along the rear property line. Staff would note that the new trees will be required to be 24-inch
box size.
Other than the clarifications detailed in the applicant’s letter and revised landscape plan, there

February 25, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
Property owner, 144 Occidental Avenue: Their existing garage abuts our driveway, proposed
plans show garage to be removed and relocated to other corner of lot, which will leave a big
gap. Existing garage is approximately 20 feet long and 15 feet tall, provides privacy in backyard.
Concerned that they are not taking this into account. Would like to know how they plan to
address that.
>Landscape plan shows a new 6-foot tall wooden fence in the backyard and a Chinese tallow
trees in the rear corner where the garage is currently located.
>Suggest meeting with the applicant to discuss possible planting solutions to provide privacy.
>Code allows a six-foot tall solid fence with one additional foot of lattice, for a total of seven
feet. Can't suggest a taller fence since it would require a Fence Exception. However,
landscaping can be taller.
Bittle: New fence and tree will be installed along the rear property line. Could consider
incorporating additional screening along the rear fence.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Terrones amended the motion, seconded by Commissioner Gaul, to approve the
application with the following condition:
>that prior to issuance of a building permit for the project, the applicant shall submit an FYI to
