APPLICATION
TO R-3, 1500
OF JOSEPH KARP: RECLASSIFTCATION OF ONE LOT FROI4
BURLINGAME AVENUE
Mayor Crosby asked City Planner to review the project. Planner
referred to Planning Commission Resolution No. 2-7 B recommending
reclassification. He explained that Mr. Karp owns two lots, one zoned.
R-I and the other R-3. 1500 Burlingame AV:nue is a non-conforming
fourplex, partly on each of the 1ots. He ,lisplayed transparencies
to show boundaries involved: Lot 2, 301 El Camino Real , zoned
R-3; Lot 3, 1500 Burlingame Avenue, zoned R-I. With reclassifi-
cation of the R-l lot to R-3, as recommended by Planning Commission,the boundary will incorporate both properties.
Mayor Crosby called on Mr. Joseph Karp, 1103 Juanita Avenue.
He spoke of his interest in the reason the different zoning had
occurred. He used the library of John B. Cockcroft and found
the block map dated L928, when the apartment house was first
constructed. A Mr. Davidson was the owner and builder of the
apartment house. It evidently was approved at that time. In
1954 or 1955 the City of Burlingame had maps prepared to designate
zoning on a block basis, and whoever did the map work apparently
did not carry the R-3 across the back of the one 1ot. One
building sits across two zoning lines. It is half R-I and half
R-3. It appears to be an oversight on the mapper's part. Theproperty is used as a single complex. It seems virtually im-
possible to break the complex because the unit on EI Camino
ReaI contains essential utility equipment to service both
buildings.
Mr. Karp explained there is a problem with insurance on the non-
conforming structure. In answer to a question from Councilman
Amstrup, he explained thaLshould the building be destroyed, he
would not be reimbursed because it is non-conforming. Councilman
Amstrup noted that the Planning Commission recoqnized that Mr.
Karp is not intending to change the prooerty. Mr. Karp exolained
he does not plan any new construction. He previously owned
Lot No. 4, 1508 Burlingame Avenue, and sold it to a Dr. Hunter
deliberately to escape the charge of possible rezoning. He
has no interest in any other property than those two. He knows
that there is opposition to R-3 zoning in a westerly direction.
He plans only to keep the two buildings in good repair
There were no other speakers in favor of the rezoning. Mayor
Crosby asked if there was anyone to speak in opposition.
Mrs. Dorothy Cusick, L7L6 Ralston Avenue, stated she was not
exactly in opposition to the project, but wished to present a
petition signed by 158 persons, as follows:
"We the undersigned are concerned about the rezoning of half of
1500 Burlingame Avenue from R-I to R-3.
Howeverr w€ also realize this is a unique situation. There have
been legal apartments on the Iot for more than 50 years. The
lot is i-mmediately adjacent to EI Camino Rea1. Half of the
land is already zoned R-3. The owner has publicly stated he is
concerned about the rezoning for insurance PurDoses and is not
interested in rebuilding or in increasing density.
Because of these unique circumstances, and provided we can be
given assurance that our neighborhood and homes will be protected
from further creeping assaults on the R-I zoningr we will not
fight the rezoning of Lot 3, Block 2, Burlingame Park No. 2,
commonly known as 1500 Burlingame Avenue.
In order to have that protection we believe three conditions
should be made part of this rezoning:
1. That no additional R-1 zoned land be joined to this parcel
in the future.
i. & - -.su-X^r
L4L
u 2.
limited
That
to 35
any future construction on this parcel should befeet in height.
3. That no variance from required oarking be granted.
If the owner's stated intentions to the City Councitr and Pl-anning
commission in the past are to be taken at face value, he shourdnot mind these conditions being made part of the rezoning.
rf the owner does object to these condj-tions being added, then
we strongly object to the rezoning of 1500 Burlingame Avenue and
urgfe you to vote t no. ' "
Mrs. Cusick stated the people are very concerned about rezoningrof R-1 to multiple use in a westerlv direction from El Caminoor anywhere in the City. They feel it is important for the cityof Burlingame to be a balanced community. In 1,970 the censusindicated forty-nine per cent of the residences as owner occupied.
Now, eight years later, it is down to forty-one per cent. Mrs.Cusick expressed concern that 1508 Burlingame Avenue might oneday be purchased and converted to oarking for the apartment,increasing density and infringing on the neighborhood.
Frank J. Pagliaro Jr., L337 Drake Avenue, asked if the property
would be assessed as one or more lots. city planner repliedit is presently assessed as one parcel. Mr. pagliaro agreedwith Mrs. cusick's statement. He asked that a stipuration runwith the land and that the owner agree that there be no joinderof this property with any other property.
Sam l4arenco, 207 Clarendon Road, urged acceptance of the stipulations.
Mayor Crosby declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Karp responded that he never will buy 1508 Burlingame Avenue
and has no plans to selI the buildings. However, if they r^reresoId, city Council has wj-thin its jurisdiction to control thethirty-five foot height limitation; further, a parking variancewourd be required. Mayor crosby asked if he had any objectionsto the stipulations. Mr. Karp explained that he is not planningto sell the propertyrbut simply attempting to resolve a zoningdiscrepancy.
Councilman Mangini envisioned that ato straighten out the property line.Council would have total control iftoward the west.

Councilman Itlangini spoke of having inspected the area and notingthat the sidewalk on El camino Real is in poor condition. Heasked if Mr. Karp would be agreeable to having iL repaired. Mr.Karp replied he did not think that was fair. Councilman Manginimentioned two utility poles that could be removed. I{r. Karpstated that if Council could get the utility companies to rernovethem, he had no objection. Councilman Mangini requested that ifthere should be a change in ownership or use, he wourd requestthere never be ingress or egress on El camino Rear. Mr. Karpstated he agreed to that with the planning commission.
Counci-Iman Amstrup referred to the zoning and questioned whetherit was an original error. He also asked when ittr. Karp had purchasedthe property. Mr. Karp stated he assumed it was an error.This is an eight-unit complex; there is no way to heat the southbuilding without the plant l-ocated in the north buirding. Thebuildings are used as a unit. He purchased the property threeand one-ha1f years ago.

Councilman Amstrup asked the City Attorney to comment on this proposalfor conditional zoning. The attorney replied that conditional
zoning is somewhat new. He considered it lega1 and would do hisbest to defend it. He stated the conditions will be incorporatedin the ordinance, and iL can be phrased so that 1508 Burli-ngame
Avenue could never become part of the parcel now owned by Karp.

At Mayor Crosby's request, City Planner reviewed project.
He referred to his memo dated April 13, L978 to City Council
which identified four different changes in the project p1ans.
Architectural renderings were posted. Project changes were
outlined as follows:
1. BCDC approved Permit No. 24-77 Thursday, March 2 for 47
parking spaces and a landscaped public access area within
the 100 foot wide strip next to San Francisco Bay. This
strip would vary from 20 to 50 feet in width in contrast
to a 25 foot wide strip as shown on the site plan approved
October 3, L977.

Instead of a 135' x 135' office floor area, the typical office

about its diagonal axis so "that the building's overall
dimensions are shown as 136 feet by 148 feet while the floor
area is unchanged. " Large scale dimensioned floor plans
will be needed to confirm this point, e.g. , that the gross
floor area is not more than 135' x 135r + L8,225 SF per
typicat floor. Previous total floor area was 144r000 SF.
The proposed project, including office space and lobby at

Mayor Crosby called on Mr. Steve Wintner of M. Arthur Gensler Jr.
& Associates, Inc. Mr. Wintner referred to the two site plans
on display, the original, and the amended resulting from BCDC
condiLions:
Essentially, there is an improved shoreline with undulating
profile. There are circular driveways; vehicles parked
immediately adjacent to the shoreline will not be visible.
There will be two landscaped areas, benches and tables,
and other amenities for public use. The connecting strip
north and south has been increased from eight feet to ten feet.
Building design has been changed from L2'4" to L2t 6" floor
to floor to accommodate steel framing. This was decided
as most aopropriate and economical, considering time
expediency in putting the building together. The penthouse
does not occupy the fu1l building. It is set back and will
not be seen from the street. It contains necessary elevator
machinery and mechanical equipment.
Mr. Wintner explained that the size and shape of the building
has been changed. He presented a model depicting original
building and new design. New design alIows the advantage
of using three sides of the existing excavation. Tt is L46l
x L46'; the new buil-ding is now L46' x L22t 4", It will set
back approximately twenty-four feet from the northeast side
of the excavation. Basement plan will accommodate the ful1
excavation.
Mr. King is presently negotiating with a tenant to lease theentire building except a branch bank to be installed on the
plaza level. Basement is divided into three 1eve1s.
Renderings indicate how vehicles will be distributed, also
basement space.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Crosbyr[4r. Wintner identified
entrance to the garage. Mr. Wintner explained that the improvements
in form and structure greatly enhance the project. Addition to
ground floor space and landscaping in front of the building will
make it a focal point for pedestrians and persons driving by. He
requested approval of the plan and assured Council of continued
cooperation.
Answerinq a question from Mayor Crosby, Mt. Wintner confirmed thatparking below the building is new.
Councilwoman Barton indicated support of a branch bank on the firstfloor, not retail stores. She asked if such a stipulation could
be imposed. City Planner responded that the Planning Commissiondid not approve retail but did approve a bank. Their vote was
unanimous, five to zero.

to assure that the lower floors will be kept dry.
Councilman Amstrup asked how the building compares in height toAirport Marina. Mr. Wintner replied it is taller than the buildingitself, aptrroximately seventeen feet to nineteen feet taller, but

Mr. Wintner assured Council that building design will not produce
a mirror effect. Building is set perpendicular to Bayshore
Freeway to minimize this effect when the sun is setting. Healso assured Council that there will not be a, reflection hazard tomotorists on Bayshore Freeway.
Councilman Amstrup asked about access to the Bay. Mr. Wintner
responded that a walkway starts on Bayshore Highway at the
bus dropoff. It goes diagonally along the building throughthe parking lot out to the Bay. BCDC imposed that condition, thatthe bayfront remain accessible to the public at all times. Thiswill be a condition of the l-ease with tenants.

Henry Bostwick, San Mateo County Development Association, spokein favor for the positive impact on employment in San MateoCounty. He noted that such projects as this increase opportunitiesfor local people to gain employment. He considered it beneficialto the City of Burlingame and the entire county.

There being no comments in opposition, Mayor
hearing closed.
Crosby declared the
Councilman Amstrup wished to clarify certain points. Stating
that the building was originally planned with sixteen stories,
he noted that Councilmen Martin, Crosby, and Mangini voted for
it. He opposed it. Now, a different kind of building is proposed.
The builder has presented a building half the size, it is a better
buitding, and he will agree to go along with it because, inhis opinion, thi-s Council has a moral obligation to a11ow the nine-story structure j-n place of the original sixteen stories. Hefelt the Council is committed to approval because of its prior
action on the first proposal. He asked that the necessary stipulations
be indicated and then move forward.
Mayor Crosby asked what specific stipulations were intended.
Councilwoman Barton agreed with Councilman Amstrup, reiterating
approval of a bank on the plaza level but not retail stores. She
also asked about a traffic signal in the immediate area and who
would pay for the signal.
Director of Public Works stated a signal had been discussed and
one-sixth of the cost was to be paid by the developer, one-
sixth from Airport Marina and two-thirds from City Gas Tax
Eunds.
Councilwoman Barton asked if this could be included in the stipul-
ations. City Planner stated that in October, L977, $2r500 had
been required of Mr. King in addition to $5,000 he had paid to
the City, totaling $7,500 committed by King toward a signal.
Councilman Amstrup asked about the possibility of a joint driveway
with Airport Marina Hotel and its maintenance. Mr. Wintner
explained they had discussed the driveway with Airport Marina
officials. The combined driveway has been included in the plans.
Mr. King will cooperate with the hotel to effect the common
driveway.
Councilman Amstrup suggested a sign j-n the parking lot "Watch
for Pedestrians" to protect people travelling to and from the
Bayfront. Mr. Wintner agreed to this installation.
Councilman Mangini referred to Council minutes of October 3 | L977 ,
Page 47L, which includes stipulations agreed to at that time.
City Attorney read them. Mr. Wintner confirmed acceptance.

Mayor Crosby acknowledged this letter dated April 25, 1978. Athis request, City Planner reviewed Council previous action, statingthe application for the One Waterfront Project is before Councilfor a Study Area Permit that was initiated at the March 20,7978meeting and tabled at that time. It would be necessary to removefrom the table to consider at this meeting. LeGaspi Towers isnot in form for staff recommendation. Councilman Amstrupsuggested referral to May study meeting. He reported that thecommittee apoointed by Council to discuss the Blayney Report hasbeen meeting and will have reconrmendations for Council review atthe study meeting. Perhaps at that meeting the councit can acton the report. Discussion of permits shourd be delayed untilafter that review.
Councilwoman Barton, member of study committee, agreed.
Mr. Keyston stated he would be happy to have the.T,eGaspi Towersproject postponed to a later date. The John Blayney AssociatesBayfront alternatives all show the site as office use. He hopedthat the One Waterfront project might be considered at the meetingMay 10, 1978.
