original action. There were no audience comments and the public hearing was closed.

,parking with the number and hours of classes as stipulated in the permit; in a site

Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes January 23, 1984
iChm. Graham opened the public hearing. Amy Chung, attorney for the applicant/property
,owners, addressed Commission: difficulty in dealing with this odd shaped lot, lot
',coverage only 32-34%, has been vacant for a number of years, developing this R-3 site
(with moderately priced single family housing will be a benefit to the city, neighbors
have been opposed to anything on this vacant site, anything on the lot will block some
,of the view of the church, but the front of the church, its most beautiful part, will
not be blocked. Ms. Chung discussed offer received from the church to purchase the
property, an offer the property owners could not accept in view of their large investment
in the project; she presented papers to support the owners' refusal. She also discussed
,the variance to the 24' aisle width requirement for units B and C; noted CE's comments;
negative declaration supports the project; to meet the 24' aisle requirement the design
,would have to be cut down which would result in a much less attractive development and
(poor use of the space.
iWith the aid of a site drawing, Helen Som, architect, pointed out lot coverage with
sand without a 24' aisle width and demonstrated automobile maneuvers entering the two
,garages in question, exiting would be no problem, auto maneuvers could be accomplished
,without going over the sidewalk. She showed an artist's rendering of the proposed
,project, project is residential in scale, would be an asset to the neighborhood.
;Dennis Chuang, 1534 Plaza Lane, Burlingame, applicants' real estate agent, discussed
,offer received from the church for the project site which was a low and unacceptable
(price per square foot.
Chm. Graham welcomed Councilmembers Barton and Pagliaro who were in the audience.
!Michael Nilmeyer, 1415 Palm Drive, spoke in favor of the project: think architect has
done an admirable job given this difficult site, most neighborhoods regret seeing a
vacant piece of property developed, have seen other projects in which developers asked
for many more variances, don't think this applicant is asking for a great deal; realize
the church members oppose the project but consider the small number of hours per week
,a member spends on the church site. There were no further comments in favor.
Those speaking in opposition: Rev. Stefan Pavlenko, 1136 Palm Drive (presented petition
in opposition signed by 142 members of the Church of All Russian Saints, 744 El Camino
Real); Diva Coulter, 844 Fairfield Road (presented a petition in opposition signed by
95 neighbors); Vera Harris, 1628 Monte Corvino Way; Jack Edwards, 1429 Palm Drive;
Gene Satrap, 744 E1 Camino Real; Christo Daskalakis, 836 Fairfield Road. Concerns
,expressed: safety hazard, especially for the elderly, children and students of the
nearby school; traffic/parking congestion; object to the large size of the condominiums;
object to any variance whatsoever; there is no hardship in constructing a building
which conforms to code; configuration of the lot existed before the developers bought
it and developer was aware of code requirements prior to purchase; if guests are parked
,on turnaround pad, how will the occupants go out; doubt occupants will back in, will
,encourage cars being left on the driveway or on the street.
In rebuttal Helen Som discussed the several submittals for a project on this site and
,the similarity in the design of the parking areas; the present submittal meets all
setback requirements; believe any project on this site would take away two curb parking
spaces; occupants will enter and exit the easiest way possible, and the easiest way
is to back into the garages. Attorney Chung pointed out that setbacks were not a
!problem in the present design, only the variance to the 24' backup aisle; referring
to the negative declaration, the project was not expected to have an extraordinary
impact on the church or school; City Engineer, in his memo, did not expect more traffic
hazard than that experienced with similar corner development; landscaping provided
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes

far exceeds code requirements. Believe variance should be granted because of the
triangular shape of the lot and the dollars spent on the several designs by the
developer. It is possible to back up in two maneuvers and front out onto Fairfield
which should be sufficient to protect the safety of the neighborhood. With respect
to the condominium blocking view of traffic on El Camino and Fairfield, no more than
one car length would be blocked. Feel we have provided ample parking and maneuverable
space to ask for a variance. There were no further audience comments and the public
hearing was closed.
Commission discussion/comment: site inspection on several days found few cars parked
in the area; traffic congestion would be less from a condominium with older owners
and fewer automobiles; view of the church will be affected by any construction on
this lot, with a condominium project the city has some control; CE advised a building
permit had been issued for an apartment project using these same plans, all setbacks
had been met but at that time the issue of the backup aisle was overlooked, without
this requested variance the building permit cannot be honored. CP clarified aisle
widths for all units. Further Commission comment: think this is a good proposal,
from testimony received this evening find concern about the backup aisle to be
unwarranted, Commission has granted many variances over the years which were far more
significant; project meets all zoning code requirements for height and setbacks,
landscaping exceeds code requirements; concern about city's liability for safety if
the project is approved, have no assurance people will back into the garages, with
any hazard at all in a busy area such as this the developer should be required to meet
all code regulations; the large amount of landscaping is a good feature of the project;
have concern about traffic and safety for pedestrians in the area; this is a
particularly sensitive area and have observed the concerns of the neighbors; developer
is entitled to put something on the lot but meeting the 24' backup aisle requirement
is no different, to my mind, than meeting the 20' setback requirement along E1 Camino
Real; do not believe you can mandate people to park backwards; feel the variance request
is a serious matter given the location of this particular property, difficult to find
exceptional circumstances to support approval; there is no parking on E1 Camino, do
not believe church members or school children would be crossing at that corner or
walking on that side of Fairfield; think this is a fine project and that the minor
variance request should be allowed.
C. Taylor found there were exceptional circumstances in the shape of this lot and the
required 20' setback from E1 Camino Real; that the property is zoned R-3 and suitable
for multiple family use with only a minor modification of the code; that the variance
from the 24' backup aisle requirement would not affect the comprehensive zoning plan
of the city; that no testimony has been presented to indicate the variance would be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to other
property owners; that it would be necessary for the preservation of the property
rights of the owners, the evidence is clear that the only way this property can be
used as the zoning ordinance permits is with the requested variance. C. Taylor moved
for approval of this variance with the following conditions: (1) that the conditions
of the City Engineer's memo of December 20, 1983 be met; (2) that the final landscaping
and irrigation plans be reviewed and approved by the Parks Department prior to issuing
a building permit; and (3) that the final working drawings conform to the plans filed
with this application and date stamped December 14, 1983 as amended by the parking
layout plan date stamped January 13, 1984. Second C. Cistulli. Comments on the motion:
this is not a minor modification if it must depend upon residents backing in, this
(would be a potential hazard; people walk on the sunny side of the street, would be
fewer pedestrians in front of this site; access to the garages can be accomplished
by backing in. Motion approved on a 5-2 roll call vote, Cers Giomi and Schwalm
,dissenting.

C. Taylor then moved for approval of the condominium permit with the same three
conditions. Second C. Cistulli; motion approved on a 5-2 roll call vote, Cers Giomi
and Schwalm dissenting. Appeal procedures were advised.
5. TENTATIVE CONDOMINIUM MAP FOR A FOUR UNIT PROJECT AT 740 EL CAMINO REAL

recommendation to City Council. C. Taylor moved to approve this tentative condominium
map and recommend it to the City Council. Second C. Cistulli; motion approved on a
5-2 roll call vote, Cers Giomi and Schwalm dissenting.
Recess 10:17 P.M.; reconvene 10:30 P.M.

thm. Graham opened the public hearing. Don House, applicant and the property owner
Were present. Applicant found staff conditions reasonable, his only concern being
parking inside the building. At present two vehicles are parked inside at night, during
the daytime none are parked inside except when loading or unloading; if parking inside
is not allowed, this could cause some concern during inclement weather. He requested
4 temporary permit to park vehicles inside for unloading, at least during wet weather,
until the building is brought up to code standards. There were no audience comments
and the public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion/determinations: two vans are unloaded at a time, one in each
doorway; if there are three vans on site the third is parked inside the building; Fire
Marshal's requirement that no vehicles shall be parked inside the building at any time
until the building is brought up to code; this requirement will be enforced if special
ermit conditions are approved, Planning Commission cannot grant exceptions to the
niform Fire Code; applicant has been in business on this site for eight years;
mployees have been advised not to double park in the driveway, 2/3 of the vans are
one from the site at all times, have staggered work shifts; employee vehicles are
arked on street, never inside; maximum number of employee vehicles parked in or around
drian Road/Adrian Court is five or six. Further Commission comment: this is heavy use
Of a small area, would limit expansion; 60 days was suggested as time limit for bringing
the building up to code.
Page 7

C. Schwalm moved to grant this special permit with the following conditions: (1) that

Marshal's memo of November 2, 1983 be met; (2) that all employees be required to park
their personal vehicles on Adrian Road; (3) that the business be operated as outlined

to Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code standards; and (7) that this permit be
,reviewed in one year's time (February 1985). Second C. Garcia.
Comment on the motion: parking impact of a courier business is very great, if this
especial permit is approved Commission is in effect giving the property owner a parking
variance; it should be pointed out this motion prohibits the applicant from parking
inside the garage during the 60 day period for compliance with UBC and UFC. C. Taylor
!moved to amend the motion and delete Condition #2, seconded by C. Garcia; amendment
accepted on a 4-3 roll call vote, Cers Giomi, Leahy and Schwalm dissenting. Motion
