DATE: April 2, 2019 Study Session
TO: Planning Commission Meeting Date: April 8, 2019
FROM: Planning Division Staff
SUBJECT: Discussion of Planning Commission Procedural Issues and Architectural
Elements
Planning Division staff wishes to bring the following items to the Planning Commission for
discussion and direction.
Timing of Staff Report Deliveries: Currently staff reports, attachments and plans are delivered
to the Planning Commission on the Thursday evening prior to the Planning Commission
meeting, providing the Commission up to four days to review the materials. Recently, we
received inquiries about the possibility of delivering packets one day earlier (on Wednesday).
Planning staff has always provided exceptional customer service by giving applicants enough
time to submit required information so that projects can be processed in a streamlined manner.
Although it is the difference of only one day, how that day lands on the calendar impacts
timelines for application resubmittals. Shortening the time period to submit information may
require some projects to be postponed to a later agenda, which as a result would lengthen the
processing time. In addition, given the current workload in the division, it may be a challenge for
staff to deliver packets on Wednesdays.
However, staff can consider including electronic copies of the plans along with the Draft
Agendas, which are emailed to the Commission ten days in advance of the meeting. We
welcome any other ideas for discussion.
Possibility of Canceling a Planning Commission Meeting in the Summer: During the
summer of 2018, several Commissioners had planned to be absent and as a result, the second
meeting in July was canceled due to a lack of quorum. Please provide us with your anticipated
absences during the summer. If there are enough absences planned for a particular meeting
during the summer, staff would like to discuss canceling a meeting with the City Manager. This
will also help staff plan accordingly with project applicants. Similarly, if it would be helpful for
commissioners to anticipate a scheduled canceled meeting in the summer (similar to the City
Council meetings that are canceled in the summer, and the second Planning Commission
meeting in December), this could be incorporated into the annual Planning Commission
calendar.
Architectural Elements – Metal Roofs: In recent months, the Planning Commission has
reviewed several applications for additions and new homes which included metal roofs. In
reviewing these applications, the Commission has expressed varying thoughts on if and when
metal roofs are appropriate. The Commission expressed a desire to have a more in-depth
discussion regarding this issue.
Community Development Department Memorandum
April 8, 2019
Page 2
Below are comments from meeting minutes from various projects reviewed within the last year:
Don't believe standing seam metal roofs are appropriate for Burlingame. This is not a
seaside, farming or rural community.
Concerned that we're seeing metal roofs in more projects.
Think it is an appropriate look for this architecture and it's something we've approved
before. Think it fits in the neighborhood.
Not about what we like and don't like, but determining whether it fits the guidelines and
pattern of the community. Don't think they belong in Burlingame.
Concern is whether or not the project starts to look too commercial. When we've approved
metal roofs or have reviewed any other materials, it's based on whether or not the
application is done in an appropriately residential fashion. Think the application is
consistent with the residential application.
City Council has debated, on behalf of community and for us, where it's appropriate to
have more contemporary designs.
Architecture previously approved fits this neighborhood. Metal roof for this particular
project fits the architecture and therefore is supportable.
Like metal roofs, have had plenty of discussions about metal roofs in different
neighborhoods. Have seen metal roofs scattered throughout several neighborhoods.
Concerned that once we start approving them, when do we say one project be approved
with metal roof and another one can't.
Feel that Burlingame Hills is an area that can support modern architecture.
When assessing appropriateness of metal roofs to the house, style of house had a lot to
do with it.
Preponderance of composition shingle and clay tile roofs in neighborhood made me
question whether or not it is appropriate, even though the design warrants it.
Because house is located uphill rather than looking down on an entire roof, helps solidify
decision that this is the right roofing material.
There are cases where a metal roof may not be approved where it's been allowed
elsewhere. It's not a matter of preference, but whether or not it fits a given context of a
project. That is the criteria we use throughout the design guidelines.
Worried that there will be metal roofs everywhere, it would significantly change character
of the City.
Appreciates the restraint on the standing-seam metal roof, that it is not used across the
entire house.
Proposed standing seam metal roof helps to add texture to the front facade.
Not concerned with metal roofing because there is not much of it on this house.
Don't typically review color because it can be changed. However, on a metal roof the color
will remain for a long time. When project returns, provide something that is more definitive
on metal roof color, want to avoid bright color.
Concern with potential colors of metal roofs in general. Unlike other exterior materials such
as walls and windows which may change over time, roof colors will be long lasting
particularly for standing seam metal roofs.
Good mix of materials. The metal roof complements the house, works well in this
application.
Metal roofs seems akin to the consensus to not allow vinyl windows. Does not believe
metal roofs fit in Burlingame. This one feels gratuitous.
The steeper the roof, the more prominent the metal roof becomes.
Struggling with the "extreme farmhouse" style; not sure it fits with the neighborhood. The
standing seam metal roof pushes the design over the top. Worried about this type of roof
taking over in Burlingame.
Community Development Department Memorandum

Although the Neighborhood Design Guidelines do not specifically discussion roofing materials,
attached you will find the Roof Design Component for reference.
The Neighborhood Consistency Subcommittee will be taking up this matter in the future.
However staff thought it would be productive for the full commission to provide general input on
this issue beforehand, and then allow the Neighborhood Consistency Subcommittee to develop
a specific recommendation to bring back to the full commission for consideration.

Neighborhood Design Guidelines – Roof Design Component
City of Burlingame
Neighborhood Design Guidebook
Component 6: Roof Design
Page 46
Roof Design
Beyond Mass and Scale, Roofs are one of the most notable and
formative elements in defining neighborhood character. The design
should include visible entries and components for human use.
Houses in a neighborhood will include roof patterns that are
distinctive and repeatable. It is important to observe the patterns
and create a building that is consistent with that pattern in order to
conserve the character of the existing neighborhoods.
Example houses may include flat roofs with parapets, pitched roofs or
combinations. Consideration should be given for the basic size and
shape of example roofs in the neighborhood.
Additionally, Design Professionals should be sensitive to the pattern
of roof details and the ways those details relate to roof form.
Particular attention should be paid to the size and configuration of
fascia boards, gutters, outriggers, barges, rafter size and treatment
and dimensions of overhangs. All of these items serve to define a
roof and will be reviewed for compatibility.
Refer to Burlingame Zoning Ordinance for related components:
Building Height and Exceptions (25.26.060 & 25.26.073)
Declining Height Envelope (25.26.075)
Applicable Findings:
The following Findings in the Design Review Ordinance apply to this
Component of the Guidelines:
• Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing
character of the Neighborhood.
• Architectural style, consistency, mass and bulk of structures,
including accessory structures.
• Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent
properties.
• For additions: Compatibility with the architectural style and
character of the existing structure as remodeled.

Roof Design: Articulation
Articulation
Roofs should be articulated in ways that support the desired Mass
and Scale of the building, Typically a Primary Roof Element should
be defined which relates closely to the actual size and Mass of the
house. Secondary forms can then be articulated which may include or
otherwise identify important components of the house.
Secondary forms should not become so numerous that the house
appears to be a series of small roofs with no unifying element.
Refer to the Burlingame Zoning Ordinance Section 25.26.075 for
Declining Height Envelope exceptions for dormers.
City of Burlingame
Neighborhood Design Guidebook
Component 6: Roof Design
Page 48
Roof Design: Additive Elements
Additive Elements
Additive elements to the roof form should respond carefully to the
mass and scale of the building and should not become too large.
Elements which are too large compete with the primary forms of the
roof and make the roof look more like trim attached to a two story
building.
Use of dormers and monitors (shed dormers) to add space to an attic
will require design professionals to think "attic" rather than "second
story".
Additionally, additive elements that are different in style than the
existing residence will not support the continuity of the architecture.
City of Burlingame
Neighborhood Design Guidebook
Component 6: Roof Design
Page 49
Roof Design: Consistent Roof Forms
Consistent Roof Forms
A critical element in unifying a building and relating additions to
existing forms is the consistency in roof forms. The roof is one of
the most important identifying elements for a house. It is largely
responsible for defining the character of a building.
Additionally, the articulation of the roofs will form a pattern. Some
neighborhoods will include simple, sweeping hip roofs, while others
will include gabled roofs with numerous dormers or monitors.
City of Burlingame
Neighborhood Design Guidebook
Component 6: Roof Design
Page 50
Roof Design: Variable Forms
Variable Roof Forms
Randomly varying roof forms are probably not supportive of
Neighborhood Compatibility. There are, however, numerous
precedents for variable roof slopes and forms. Numerous
architectural styles include combinations of sheds and gables, sheds
and hips and sloping and flat roofs.
If a proposal includes varying roof forms, they should be justified
based on the architectural style and the pattern in the neighborhood.
If varying forms occur simply to make interior spaces work, there may
be a need to redesign the interior layout to achieve a compatible roof
form.
Sometimes roof forms are varied to accommodate height limitations.
Hip roofs are often "clipped" to remain under this limit.
When a flat roof is included at the top of a sloped roof, flashing will
be apparent where the transition occurs, making the roof unsightly
and the clipping apparent.
It is more desirable to request a height exception in order to resolve a
roof properly in a ridge or peak.
Roof forms and materials have a close relationship with the general
character and style of a building. When a particular style is existing
or adopted, the roof form should be consistent with that style. Tudor
Revival buildings will have somewhat different roof slopes and forms
than a Spanish Colonial Revival building.
City of Burlingame
Neighborhood Design Guidebook
Component 6: Roof Design
Page 51
Roof Design: Substantial Additions
Substantial Additions
When substantial additions are proposed, the overall roof form (as
well as the architectural style of the house), may need modification.
Low sloping roofs on single story ranch houses may not adequately
engage a large second floor addition. The result may be a residence
that does not meet the criteria for Mass and Scale.
Roof management can be an effective tool for housing a large space
in a building of appropriate Mass and Scale.
When a flat roof is included at the top of a sloped roof, flashing will
be apparent where the transition occurs, making the roof unsightly
and the clipping apparent.
It is important to avoid the "layer cake" look in second floor additions.
Most existing two story houses look more integrated, as though all
parts were designed as one.
The "layer cake" looks like a floor was flown in and dropped on an
existing house.
In some cases it may be necessary to design smaller spaces to achieve
integration of the additional forms.
City of Burlingame
Neighborhood Design Guidebook
Component 6: Roof Design
Page 52
Roof Design: Criteria
Numerous roof patterns will occur. In many cases, there will be a
number of roof patterns in a given neighborhood. Where this occurs,
scale and mass become driving factores in shaping the design.
As a design progresses, a roof form will emerge as a result of the
internal organization of the building. As this occurs, the designer
should be sensitive to similar forms in the neighborhoods. Details
and configurations should then be harmonized with the example
forms seen in the neighborhood.
Design Review Criteria
Compatibility is achieved through consistency in roof form and
articulation. Compatible designs will include the following elements:
• Consistent roof slope throughout.
• Limited use of inconsistent roof forms when appropriate to the
architecture of the building.
• Consistent roof materials throughout.
• Roofs articulated into Primary and Secondary elements, with
primary element(s) relating to the Mass and Scale of the buildings
in the neighborhood.
• Roof slopes and materials consistent with the character or style of
the building, including scale of materials.
• New roofs consistent with the level of articulation of existing
roofs.
• Response of the roof design to the mass and scale of the
building: The roof should be consistent, however the roof design
may require the floor plan to be adjusted to achieve an overall
compatible design.
• Avoidance of "layer cake" appearance to second story elements.

All Commissioners had visited the project site. Commissioner Gaul had met with the applicant.
Community Development Director Gardiner provided an overview of the staff report.
Questions of staff:
>Can the rear setback variance be specific to the type of land use? (Gardiner: Yes. Variances run with
the land provided that the pergola remains. There can be specific conditions pertaining to the pergola with
the variance.)
> Is there information that is provided by the applicant about the lease agreement pertaining to
exclusive use of parking on -site? (Gardiner: No, there is only a deed restriction pertaining to one of the
pergolas on-site.)
> Can there be a condition included that if 12 Park Road gets redeveloped that the variance expires?
(Gardiner: Yes. If 12 Park Road gets redeveloped in the future, Burlingame Fitness would have to come
back to the Planning Commission for an amendment.)
> Is there more information about the Code Enforcement complaint? (Gardiner: There have been a
series of unpermitted uses over the site's history but the nature of the proposed project is to rectify these
unpermitted uses.)
Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Philip Levi, Burlingame Fitness, represented the applicant.
Commission Questions/Comments:
> Is your lease for both properties? (Levi: Yes, the lease agreement is for both properties and I did not
realize that Planning approval was required to park on the 12 Park Road side.)
>Was a contractor involved in building the structure? Did either mention permits? (Levi: Two
contractors were involved and permits were not brought up.)
> Is there an architect involved or designer that can help you with the plans? (Levi: There is a structural
engineer that has verified the structural integrity of both pergolas. I can provide documentation.)
>Who did the parking layout? (Levi: Myself and my wife.)
>Which driveway will be used? Not seeing how cars are going to be maneuvering on site. (Levi:
Depends on which direction they enter. Health coaches park in the back to ease the flow of traffic.)
>Needs to show accessible space. Backup space to pergola is not shown correctly. (Levi: Typo.
Understands there is a minimum space for backup. Understands it has been met.)
>Did you prepare the responses to the variance request? (Levi: Yes.)
>What is the extraordinary circumstance with the pergola? (Levi: Had been a house. Slab remained .
Sunk posts to create a cover. Did not know about required rear setback. Structure supports a sagging
fence adjacent.)
>What is the exceptional circumstance for the parking variance? (Levi: Cannot provide parking without
the spaces. Permission to park on the lot at 12 Park Road was agreed upon in the lease.)
>What was the nature of the code complaint in 2017 for parking? (Levi: Does not know. Has
documented use of the lot, but parking on the street is constrained. Has never had parking issues.)
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.

Commission Discussion:
>For the structure in the back, needs to see elevations to determine plate height and overall height.
>Having trouble making the findings for the variance. Disrepair of the slab is not sufficient.
> Cannot make finding for rear structure no matter its size or height.
> Cannot support findings in the applicant's application for a parking variance.
>Could support a variance if it states that the properties operate as one property. Because of the way
the property is operating, the parking is located on the adjacent lot.
>Not convinced the layout will work. Needs to show dimensions and backup space.
>Does not see unique circumstances with the lot.
>An exceptional circumstance with the parking is with the lease. Would require a condition that if the
lease ends or 12 Park Road is sold, the variance would be null.
>16 Park Road has space for parking. It's just being used in other ways.
>Would like to find a way to make this work.
>Find a way to rewrite the variance request for off-site parking.
>Cannot support the pergola variance. Would like to find a way to support the parking variance. Likes
how the property is being used. The back area is a vital part of the success of the business.
As a Study Item, there is no Planning Commission action. The application will return on the
Regular Action Calendar for action.

Commission Questions/Comments:
>Does the desire to open the door require it to look like a second garage door? (Neubert: No. It is the
preference of the owner. The original house had two doors. Wanted to have the same expression, but
different uses.)
>Was anything done to make the door to the den separate from the garage, so it does not look like a
two-car garage? (Neubert: Thought the consensus was the two doors looked good. It is the owners'
preference. Thought the only issue was the width of the driveway.)
>How are the bottoms of the doors insulated? (Neubert: They are custom-made doors, with insulation
at the closing flange and a curb at the bottom for wind and water resistance.)

Commission Discussion:
>Surprised to see the doors there. Thought the applicant was instructed to have the garage doors look

>Could make the garage look like a garage separate from the den, such as a nested gable or
Page 4City of Burlingame Printed on 4/4/2019

additional trim detail... something to differentiate the garage and the face of the garage doors from the den
space. Something so it does not look like two garage doors side by side.
>The two doors do not fit the neighborhood. French doors could be beautiful.
>Meeting notes show intent to not have two garage doors.
>There is so much reworking being of the front facade: the doors are being pulled, the gable is being
completely redone, the vent is being replaced. It would not be difficult to revise it so it does not look like
two garage doors. Understands the desire for the indoor -outdoor aspect, and it would be nice to have patio
doors, but it looks odd to have two garage doors with it not being a two-car garage.
>Likes the idea of the tree in front with the patio.

Casey Cole, MEI Architects, represented the applicant.
Commission Questions/Comments:
>Consider using some of the other materials to accentuate the second floor? Looks a little flat. (Cole:
Can consider that.)
>Consider a lower plate height on the second floor? The volume of the roof is quite tall, could utilize
space within the roof to obtain the height. (Cole: Started at 10', now at 9'-6", could consider further
reduction.)
>West elevation upstairs looks blank. Consideration of any other windows in the part that recesses
back? (Cole: Yes could consider that.)
>A stair window would be a great way to introduce light into the stairwell and study below.
>Should reconsider the second floor plate height.
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>Articulating the massing with some alternate materials would help with the flatness.
>A window into the stairwell would help break up the flat mass, even if it breaks up the belly band with
Page 6City of Burlingame Printed on 4/4/2019

a taller window.
>Bringing down the plate height would help bring down the bulk on the back side of the house.
>Because the elevations are so flat, it looks like the windows could happen anywhere. There is no order
between the upstairs and downstairs windows.
>On the second floor some windows have gravitated to the corners. Seems odd, particularly with the
lack of coordination.
>Upper plate height needs to be reconsidered. When the second story is higher than the first story it
becomes unbalanced. Could use the roof structure to create more volume, either with coffered or vaulted
ceilings.

Commission Questions/Comments:
>Ten trees are being removed. Are any protected size trees? (Nick Adler: No, they are all smaller.)
>Were lower plate heights considered? (Sara Adler: We were both raised in houses with tall ceilings .
Wanted to have a light and airy feeling.)
>Why is 10-feet clear proposed for the basement, given it is proposed for storage? (Sara Adler:
Intention is to have it as a bare finished space. Has not decided what the use will be.)
>Be careful with the design of the basement. There has been a history of basement flooding in this
area. The deeper the basement, the more complicated with drainage and dewatering.
>Needs to show how the Hardie siding would be mitered at the corner. Natural wood looks more fitting
than the cementitious product. Natural shingles are available that come completely pre-painted.
>Has there been consideration of windows on the left side (east elevation) where there is blank wall?
The wall will be visible from the street since there is a smaller home next door. (Nick Adler: It can be
considered.)
Public Comments:
Page 7City of Burlingame Printed on 4/4/2019

Ted, house to the right: Generally supportive of the proposal. Vast improvement to what is there currently .
Has had questions about the shadowing and light; the applicant has been assisting in exploring potential
impacts.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>While it is an upsloping lot, which effects the height calculation, this is a brand new house. Difficulty
with the request for special consideration for added height, given the plate heights are at 10 feet and 9
feet. Bringing the height down would help with the proportion of the architecture, particularly with the
steeper pitched roofs.
>While there are taller houses to either side, they're on the uphill side of the street. But the context is
mixed, and the other side of the street has a row of single-story houses.
>Well-crafted house, and the detailing is well-done; the only concern is the height.
>Hard to support the additional height. House feels like it is bursting at the seems. More typically 9'
and 8' plate heights are approved since most projects want to maximize the square footage, and higher
heights further inflate the volume of the house. Bringing down the plate heights will help with the
proportions.
>Likes the house and the architecture. Agrees on the plate height, would like to see it lower.
>Should look at the siding material.
>Window grids need more consistency. Some window grids are horizontal, others are vertically -oriented
with different dimensions. Would improve the design to be more consistent.

Commission Questions/Comments:
Page 8City of Burlingame Printed on 4/4/2019
March 11, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
>What are the plate heights? Are they 8'-6" on the first floor and 8'-9" on the second floor? (Kuehne:
Yes.)
>Will the woodburning fireplace be retained? (Kuehne: Yes, and we will extend the chimney.) It looks
awkward - how will it be supported without ties? If there is a gas insert, would not need to extend it.
>When a second floor is taller than the first, it looks off -balance. (Kuehne: It's just a few inches more,
and seems appropriate for a master level. With the 4:12 roof it felt like it was balanced and proportionate .
It is still within the height limit.) Could have a cathedral ceiling within the roof structure to obtain more
volume, could be very striking.
>Existing metal roof (simulated clay tile) may be hard to retain with the construction. Is there interest in
something different if it needs to be replaced? (Kuehne: Can explore options.)
>What other locations were considered for the second story addition? (Kuehne: Looked at a location
closer to the front, but it created a tall elevation and would be very narrow, would require a long hall. This
design allows a more compact floorplan. Also wanted to group the bedrooms together on the first and
second floors. It felt like the best balance for the situation in terms of declining height envelope,
setbacks, and low impact from the street.)
Public Comments:
Gabriella Addiego and son, neighbor to the left: Concern with losing privacy, and shading fruit trees. Too
close to the trees in the yard. Has not seen the shade studies. Believes there is possibility for a second
story, but wants it done with least impact on sunlight and privacy of the neighboring house.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>The garage defines the house currently. The house would benefit from having an addition toward the
front to balance the garage.
>Could place the addition to the north, and closer to the front.
>Windows are uncoordinated.
>Needs more detail. Lacking in detail.
>Not opposed to the addition in the back, but would want a lower floorplate so it fits better with the first
floor.
>Addition does not tie together with existing house's footprint.
>If the addition was moved over and forward, could incorporate the chimney into the second story.
>If the bedrooms were put where the family room is, and the family room moved to the back to open to
the back yard, it would be a more functional design for the first floor and could integrate with a second
floor addition further forward.
> Would like second story addition brought forward.
>Looks like a two-story house grafted onto a one-story house.
>Understands the lot is narrow, but then the placement of the massing becomes more sensitive.
>Would benefit from a design review consultant.
>Should look at the proportion between first and second floor. Difference in plate heights not that
different but some windows on the second floor are much larger than the second floor and accentuates the
height, emphasizes the second floor. Design Review Guidelines minimize the second story and keep the
emphasis on the first floor.

Commission Questions/Comments:
>On the left side elevation, looks like it will loom over the house on the corner and be very visible from
the Chatham side. (Pearcy: Has done a lot of work to keep the height in check. There is also a wide
sideyard, about 15 feet. It will be somewhat noticeable from the Chatham side, but there is screening in
place. Could add additional screening. Given that it is not particularly high, believes it will be a good
neighbor. The addition is centered in the rear central portion of the site. Wanted to maintain a modest
scale, and retain a one-story feel at the front.)

the other house.

Commission Discussion:
>Interesting project. The addition is relatively modest and compact.
>There is a lot going on in a small amount of space, and feels a bit jumbled.
>Does not like the northeast elevation; it feels like it is turning its back to the neighbor on that side,
with the blank wall and expanse of roof.
>The contemporary style seems to fit into the neighborhood. It is behaving like a house, with the
massing like a traditional airplane bungalow.
>Likes the interplay of the shed roofs. Leads to a massing in the front similar to the existing traditional
ranch house.
>Would benefit from having a window on the blank side, even a small window.
>Appreciates the articulation of the second floor plates.
>The neighborhood is eclectic, which lends to the contemporary style. The front has a low profile, as is
the shed roof at the back.
>The application of materials makes sense. It will blend in with the neighborhood.
>Impressed with the house. Creative solution without pushing the envelope too far. Is massed well.
>Has done a nice job with integrating a contemporary design into the neighborhood.

Commission Discussion:
>Existing simple frame elevation of the existing building is nice, not sure that the proposed changes to

glass.
>If less square footage was added, there would not need as much parking and might not need the
parking variance. Could build within the confines of what the parking would allow, not sure what the
extraordinary circumstances are to justify the variance.
>The existing simple metal frame building could be cleaned up and look quite nice.
>Doesn't have an issue with parking variance because of the transportation corridor so close by, and if
employees are taking BART, they are not driving in. Caltrain is also nearby.
Page 11City of Burlingame Printed on 4/4/2019
March 11, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
>Warehouse uses have fewer employees than general office, and may not need the amount of parking
required. Seems 18 spaces is plenty.
> Indifferent to the commercial remodel of the front facade. It's in an industrial area and if it is what the
applicant wants, has no opposition to it.
>Does the recent rezoning change anything? (Gardiner: There may be options for a Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) program, which would allow flexibility with parking. The bicycles mentioned
by the applicant is an example of TDM.) Would be great if staff could look at that, the underlying
application is a great one and should be encouraged.
>There have been other instances in this area where the parking demand is less than what the code
requires. Other uses such as commercial recreation have had parking reductions based on use of the
space compared to the zoning requirements. Warehouse use does not have much parking demand.
>OK with pulling the floorplate forward on the facade, but the proposal seems to be trying really hard
with the bent plates and kinked buttresses. Seems a bit fussy, but does not have an issue with the
character of the clad pilasters and glass front facade.
> Good application in terms of its intent and its uses. The building addition is being built in an area that
is not being currently used for parking. It is being added where the existing ramp is. Applicant is infilling
an area that does not serve their purposes now.
>Can support the reduction of spaces given the location, proximity to mass transit, and lowering the
need of automobiles with alternative transportation options.
> Operations needs require additional warehouse space, which is an exceptional circumstance in this
instance.
>Existing building is dated. Can support the design and improvement of the front if it is to make a
statement for the business in attracting customers and staying competitive.
>Would like to see the parking solved in a manner other than a variance

design on the existing house.)
>Like the existing gable end vent on the side of the house. Have you decided not to use them on the
project? (Deal: Would be difficult to build and are really odd, so decided not to emulate them.)
>Will the siding on the gable ends be rough cut wood? (Deal: Yes, will have a corrugated look along the
edges.)
>Not a fan of the direct vent fireplaces with no chimney stack, but not a deal breaker since it's located
at the rear of the property. However, if you did decide to have a stack, would hope it would be designed to

Commission Questions/Comments:
>Proposed sign is classy and elegant.
>Would be concerned if proposed signage said "for lease" as a commercial enterprise or something
promoting that business aspect as is being proposed in the variance application.
>What is the zoning for the areas occupied by Northpark Apartments and other apartments down
Rollins Road that is different than the location we have here? (Keylon: Those areas are zoned R -4, so the
same standards provided in the staff report would apply.)
Page 4City of Burlingame Printed on 4/3/2019
March 25, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
>Those properties are not zoned C -2 with an R-4 Overlay, they are specifically R -4, correct? (Keylon:
That is correct.) That is something that is somewhat unique to this condition. If they were to come back
and ask for a similar variance, is it fair to say that it is a different condition here in that we have this
overlay in an area that is otherwise commercial? (Keylon: It is and with the General Plan Update that's
been recently adopted, there are a few properties north of this site that also have an overlay.)
>In looking at the examples that the applicant has provided, I think of a hotel when I look at the
Lawrence Station Apartments and a tech company when I Iook at the Avalon Berkeley project, not
apartments or condominiums. Signage on a building like this makes me think of commercial enterprises .
I get the logic, the argument that's being made that this is a commercial enterprise and that's what were
being asked to consider. My concern is that when we see signage like this on a building, I don't think of
apartments but rather commercial enterprises, and that is what I'm struggling with. I don't want to see this
as a hotel or tech building, I want to see it as apartments. (Burch: Trying to reach out to people that are
navigating by phone to get to apartments in the area. A number of people who would be using the sign
would likely be people who are coming to the property or who are curious about the Anson. Examples were
included in the package to primarily show that anywhere that there is an opportunity to get these
residential projects out to a broader audience; it's being done and it's not uncommon. Trying to fit these in
as well executed signage to match the project.)
>Are there illumination criteria for the halo lighting proposed behind the lettering? (Hurin: Code does not
provide any criteria for light measurement, but does allow indirect and halo lighting.) (Kane: There are
restrictions on the overall amount of light that can leave the property, but there is no minimum amount of
light.)
>How far back is the fifth floor wall located behind the sign? (Burch: Approximately 15 feet back from
the parapet.) So from certain angles, that portion of the building would not be seen and those letters may
stand out on the parapet as a sillouhet against the sky. (Burch: Correct.)
>Have extra square footage available along Rollins Road. Curious why there is no signage proposed at
the entrance at pedestrial level? (Burch: Along the Rollins Road frontage, the lobby and garage entrance
is only for residents, so trying not to attract attention to those entrances along Rollins Road because all of
the entry is along Carolan Avenue. Tried to design the signage to get all attention off Rollins Road entry .
Have considered it, but didn't want someone parking on Rollins Road and having to walk all the way
around to Carolan Avenue to get to the leasing office.)
>Did you look at options to install a sign on the face of the building? (Burch: Did consider it, but there
are few opportunities left to place signage on a wall given the articulation and fenestration on the building .
Felt that the proposed location of the sign is elegant as it relates to the parapet as opposed to trying to fit
it on a wall on the building.)
>Don't understand how the sign works at nighttime. (Burch: Led lights mounted against Acrylic and
frosted edge provides the halo lighting.)
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>Sign starts to make it look like a hotel. Building presents itself as apartment living. Not seeing a
particular need for the sign in this case. With the proposed sign, it presents itself as a commercial
enterprise.
>Want to see project be successful, but not convinced success of project hinges on having this sign. I
think about the commercial aspect of looking for an apartment, the process of looking for a place to live,
and I don't make the connection between driving down the freeway and trying to find a place to live, versus
driving down the freeway and trying to find commercial business.
>The proposed sign is classy and simple, however am concerned the precedent set with this type of
sign. What if the next sign that comes before us is not as classy? Are there free speech issues with
Page 5City of Burlingame Printed on 4/3/2019
March 25, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
what we can restrict in terms of what can be said on a sign if they meet comply with sign regulations?
>Signs A1, A2 and B1 are necessary for entry identification and wayfinding. With Sign A 3, understand
that it is a commercial enterprise that is a year round operation that needs to keep the property marketed;
don't see it competing with the other commercial enterprises along Rollins Road. One logic I can see is
because of this unique situation or exceptional situation, in that we have this R -4 as an overlay in this C -2
area, that to me is an exceptional circumstance that may allow for a variance, if we are then willing to
accept the need for this signage.
>Struggling with justification that it is a C -2 District with an R-4 overlay; the entire project conforms to
the R-4 zoning regulations, except in this case where it's not convenient, struggling with that as a
justification that it is a unique circumstance.
>Not sure it meets the need stated, seems more like a navigational tool than it does seem like
branding, which I would associate more with a chain like Avalon. This is not really a branding, because
there won't be another Anson. Most people will use maps on their phones to find the property. Don't
understand the need for it.
>Need to make findings in order to justify the variance. Question about proposed sign doesn't seem to
be about the findings, but rather if it meets the business needs proposed in the application. Doesn't
compel me to support the variance, is irrelevant to our review of the application.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Loftis, to deny the
application without prejudice. The motion carried by the following vote:
Discussion of Motion:
>Can't make the findings based on the unique situation of the lot.
>If application returns, ask that information be provided showing the extent of the R-4 overlay
in the C-2 areas so that we can look at how unique this situation is relative to this area and areas
potentially further north.

d.1660 Rollins Road, zoned RR - Application for Commercial Design Review and Parking

All Commissioners had visited the project site. There were no ex-parte communications to report.
Senior Planner Keylon provided an overview of the staff report.
>Application includes a TDM program, is that monitored in any way? (Keylon: Currently it's not, but
when the new zoning is adopted, there will be criteria for TDM reporting requirements.) Are those criteria
available yet? (Keylon: They are not and this project would not be subject to the new zoning regulations .
However, the business owner is currently offering it to his employees, so wanted to bring it to your
attention, but it is not required for this project.)
>The application includes proposals for TDM measures, but it appears that currently there would be no
monitoring. (Keylon: Proposed TDM measures are provided as justification for the variance, can write in as
conditions of approval.) (Kane: Commission has also previously granted some parking variances that were
tied closely to the level of intensity of use for the applicant. Could craft a condition that voids the variance
Page 6City of Burlingame Printed on 4/3/2019
March 25, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
if the business is replaced with a different or more intense use.)
>In this case, could continuance of variance be dependent on continuing use of TDM measures?
(Kane: Yes, just keep in mind that in this case there would be no monitoring, however one could file a
complaint with the Code Enforcement Division, for example, if they see parking impacts from this
business.)
Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Mike Symons and David Mena, represented the applicant.
Commission Questions/Comments:
>Can you give us examples of the common look and feel amongst your various office around the world?
Is it the vertical elements? Is it a specific color or material? (Symons: Our common look is based on
color, a blue and grey motif; provides a modern look and feel since we're a high-tech company.)
>Is there any proposed signage for the building? (Symons: Signage would be located internally, seen
when you walk into the office. In buildings where a lot of valuable equipment is stored, we tend not to
install large signs on the building for security purposes; signage is generally minimal if installed at all.)
>See that there are LED lights tucked in behind pillars, which appear to be T -shaped. LED lights are
vertical and run the entire length of the pillar. Am I reading that right? Will I be able to see the bulb image
in the glass behind it? (Mena: You will only see the glass cover which will diffuse the lighting.)
>What color is the glass? Is it mirrored, smoked, or clear? (Mena: It is a blue/green tint; it will be clear
glass with low-e coating.)
>It's important to know what the glass color will be as it relates to the architecture being a grid and that
most of the front facade will be glass. Will there be hidden mullions with butt joint glass, providing a sheer
surface between the grids? (Mena: Correct.)
>Does the company own the property? (Symons: I own the property and company and lease the building
back to the company. Our intention is to continue to invest in this property and in our company; intention
is to stay in Burlingame indefinitely.)
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>Like they way they've simplified the facade, it's still very elegant.
>Would like to see glass detail brought back as an FYI item.
>Argument for variance is supportable due to the fact that the timing of the submittal is a critical issue;
if submitted later project could have been approved under the new zoning regulations with provision of
TDM program.
>Reason asked if property is owned is because this isn't a tenant that could potentially leave, their
intention is to stay.
>Based on type of use and TDM plan that they are providing, the variance is supportable.
>Design is supportable based on the revisions made.
>May want to add condition that says if use or operation changes to the point where it's different than
currently proposed with the parking load and TDM measures, then variance becomes void.
Kane: If the Commission is going in the direction of granting the variance conditioned on the TDM
measures, would suggest that the motion include "equivalent or better TDM measures than proposed "
because we don't know what other transportation modes may be coming in the next 20 years. Similarly in
terms of the use, condition should include "the same or better intensity of use" so that it doesn't
Page 7City of Burlingame Printed on 4/3/2019
March 25, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
negatively impact the variance. This would help the applicant and staff address future events.
>Mitigating circumstance is that the zoning is changing, should be explicit in application. (Hurin: It is
enough to state in motion.)
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Terrones, to approve the
application with the following condition, noting that the findings for the parking variance are
based on the applicant's written submittals and that this is a unique situation in that the zoning
regulations will be changing, that the applicant would be able to comply with the new zoning
requirements, and to ask the applicant to wait until the new zoning regulations are codified
would be an unnecessary hardship.
>that any change in or intensification of the existing use shall operate under the same
general terms as the proposed use, with a TDM plan that is equivalent or better than proposed
under this application; proposed uses that operate substantially different or are an intensification
of the proposed use with no TDM plan or TDM measures that are less than the proposed use shall
require an amendment to the parking variance with review by the Planning Commission.
The motion carried by the following vote:

All Commissioners had visited the project site. There were no ex -parte communications to report .
Commissioners Terrones and Comaroto were not in attendance for the study item, but each reviewed the
video.
Senior Planner Catherine Keylon provided an overview of the staff report.
There were no questions of staff.
Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Jim Neubert, James Neubert Architects, represented the applicant.
Commission Questions/Comments:
>Does the desire to open the door require it to look like a second garage door? (Neubert: No. It is the
preference of the owner. The original house had two doors. Wanted to have the same expression, but
different uses.)
>Was anything done to make the door to the den separate from the garage, so it does not look like a
two-car garage? (Neubert: Thought the consensus was the two doors looked good. It is the owners'
preference. Thought the only issue was the width of the driveway.)
>How are the bottoms of the doors insulated? (Neubert: They are custom-made doors, with insulation
at the closing flange and a curb at the bottom for wind and water resistance.)
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>Surprised to see the doors there. Thought the applicant was instructed to have the garage doors look
less like two sets of garage doors.
>Could make the garage look like a garage separate from the den, such as a nested gable or
Page 1City of Burlingame Printed on 4/3/2019
March 11, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
additional trim detail... something to differentiate the garage and the face of the garage doors from the den
space. Something so it does not look like two garage doors side by side.
>The two doors do not fit the neighborhood. French doors could be beautiful.
>Meeting notes show intent to not have two garage doors.
>There is so much reworking being of the front facade: the doors are being pulled, the gable is being
completely redone, the vent is being replaced. It would not be difficult to revise it so it does not look like
two garage doors. Understands the desire for the indoor -outdoor aspect, and it would be nice to have patio
doors, but it looks odd to have two garage doors with it not being a two-car garage.
>Likes the idea of the tree in front with the patio.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Loftis, to continue the item.

City of Burlingame
Design Review
Address: 2217 Davis Drive Meeting Date: April 8, 2019
Request: Application for Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single-family
dwelling.
Applicant and Property owner: Paul Yep APN: 025-192-030
Architect: Mei-Mei Chan, MEI Architects Lot Area: 5,000 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 existing single-story house with an attached one-car garage contains 1,734 SF (0.34
FAR) of floor area. The proposed project includes a first and second story addition which would increase the
floor area to 2,608 SF (0.52 FAR) where 2,700 SF (0.54 FAR) is the maximum allowed as per code. The
proposed project is 92 SF below the maximum allowed FAR.
The existing house contains two bedrooms and with the proposed project the number of bedrooms would
increase to four bedrooms (study room counts as a bedroom). For a four-bedroom house, two parking spaces
are required, one of which must be covered. The existing garage would maintain a clear area of (17’-2” x 20’-1”),
where (9’-0” x 18’-0”) is allowed for an existing one car garage. One uncovered parking space (9’-0” x 20’-0”) is
provided in the driveway, where the required 20’-0” is measured to the inner edge of the sidewalk. Therefore,
the project is in compliance off-street parking requirements. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following application:
Design Review for a first and second story to an existing single-family dwelling (CS 25.57.010 (a)

Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study Meeting on March 11,
2019, the Commission suggested that the plate height on the second floor be reduced and encouraged the
applicant to use different materials to bring more articulation on the facade. They noted that using stucco on the
second floor seemed like an easy solution and that the applicant should experiment with the choice of materials.
They also encouraged the applicant to look into the placement of windows and potentially adding another
window on the second floor to bring in more light. Overall, the Commission was satisfied with the design and
voted to place this item on the action calendar when the plans have been revised and reviewed by the Planning
Division (see attached March 11, 2019, Planning Commission Minutes).
The applicant submitted a response letter date stamped March 25, 2019, and revised sheets dated March 29,
2019. The plans have been revised to lower the second story plate height from 9’-6” to 8’-6”, with a maximum
proposed overall building height of 26’-0”. New materials were added on the front façade of the second floor,
which includes painted wood vertical siding and 0’-6” wide vertical wooden trim at the corners. Two new
windows were added on the West Elevation, one in the stairwell and one in the laundry room on the first floor.
Few other minor changes were made to the design, including changing the size of the first floor bedroom
window from two-panels to one-panel. These changes do not affect any zoning requirements.
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.
Suggested Findings for Design Review: The proposed second story addition is located at the rear of the
house and is placed at a distance from the street, which helps to minimize the visual impacts of the second
story. The materials used in the construction, such as vertical wood and stucco siding, asphalt shingle roof and
aluminum clad wood windows, are of high quality and would match the style and finishes of the existing house.
At the March 11, 2019, Design Review Study Meeting, the Planning Commission was satisfied with the overall
design and placed this item on the Regular Action Calendar. For these reasons, the project may be found to be
compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.

All Commissioners had visited the project site. Commissioner Gaul spoke with the applicant and his son.
Community Development Director Gardiner provided an overview of the staff report.
There were no questions of staff.
Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Casey Cole, MEI Architects, represented the applicant.
Commission Questions/Comments:
>Consider using some of the other materials to accentuate the second floor? Looks a little flat. (Cole:
Can consider that.)
>Consider a lower plate height on the second floor? The volume of the roof is quite tall, could utilize
space within the roof to obtain the height. (Cole: Started at 10', now at 9'-6", could consider further
reduction.)
>West elevation upstairs looks blank. Consideration of any other windows in the part that recesses
back? (Cole: Yes could consider that.)
>A stair window would be a great way to introduce light into the stairwell and study below.
>Should reconsider the second floor plate height.
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.
Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>Articulating the massing with some alternate materials would help with the flatness.
>A window into the stairwell would help break up the flat mass, even if it breaks up the belly band with
a taller window.
>Bringing down the plate height would help bring down the bulk on the back side of the house.
>Because the elevations are so flat, it looks like the windows could happen anywhere. There is no order

between the upstairs and downstairs windows.
>On the second floor some windows have gravitated to the corners. Seems odd, particularly with the
lack of coordination.
>Upper plate height needs to be reconsidered. When the second story is higher than the first story it
becomes unbalanced. Could use the roof structure to create more volume, either with coffered or vaulted
ceilings.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Tse, to place the item on the
Regular Action Calendar when plans have been revised as directed. The motion carried by the
following vote:

Comment No.DisciplineComment DateComment By Comment Response1 Planning Commission 3/11/2019 Michael GaulStucco seems like a simple solution, have you used other materials to accentuate the second floor a little more. Vertical wood siding to match existing has been added to the North façade along with wood trim pieces to terminate the vertical wood siding.1 Planning Commission 3/11/2019 Audrey Tse Curious if you thought to go with a lower plate height on second floor. We have revised the second floor height to 8'‐6" from 9'‐6". We feel that this proportion reduces the bulk of the second story. Lowering the second story plate height any further would cause the second story roof to conflict with the existing first story roof geometry. 2 Planning Commission 3/11/2019 Audrey TseOn West elevation rear, is there opportunity for another window? (At stairs). That elevation looks a little flat.We have added an additional window above the stair landing on the west elevation.3 Planning Commission 3/11/2019 Richard Sargent A stair window would be great way to introduce light to stairwell. We have added an additional window above the stair landing on the west elevation.4 Planning Commission 3/11/2019 Richard SargentLook at plate height on second floor. Upper plate height needs to be reconsidered. When second floor is taller than lower, creates balancing problems. Use roof structure to create volume.We have revised the second floor height to 8'‐6" from 9'‐6". We feel that this proportion reduces the bulk of the second story.

Little coordination of windows between first and second floor. Do not seem to be associating with eachother.Window locations have been coordinated on the East, West, and South facades.9 Planning Commission 3/11/2019 William LoftisOdd that first floor existing windows have gravitated to corners, second floor windows have gravitated to corners. 6" stucco at corners, I find it odd in respect to lack of coordination.Windows have been located so that the trim of the new windows is at least 12" from the edge of each exterior wall on all four facades
