ACTION ITEMS
The applicants were advised that 5 of 7 Commission members were present. The rules of procedure
for the Commission require a quorum (4) affirmative votes to pass a motion on action items. The
Chair asked if any of tonight's applicants would like to delay their action until a full commission is
seated. No applicants asked for a continuance.
3. SPECIAL PERMITS TO BUILD A TWO STORY DETACHED GARAGE WITH RECREATION
ROOM AND TOILET AT 1520 RALSTON AVENUE, ZONED R-1 (KEVIN AND JENNIFER
HELMIG, PROPERTY OWNERS AND APPLICANTS AND JAMES D. VALENTI,
DESIGNER).
Reference staff report, 10.10.95, with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request, reviewed
criteria, Planning Department comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chm. Jacobs opened the public hearing. Jim Valenti, the designer and Kevin Helmet, property owner,
1520 Ralston Avenue, were present to address the commission.They noted they would be willing to
lower the ceiling height in the garage to lower the plate and roof ridge 1 foot. The space in the rear
near the pool has limited deck area because of the lip on the pool, however there is enough room
within the house to remodel without changing the footprint of the house. There were no other
comments and the public hearing was closed.
C. Galligan noted the height of the accessory structure next door does not qualify as findings for this
application. Commissioners asked if they considered a 2 car garage since present dimension is almost
there, applicant noted could widen but would affect useable deck area next to pool which is minimal
now; discussed fact that the parking place and storage area on grade in the garage are divided by a
wall which will make it difficult to park a car in the narrower portion of the garage and insure that
it will be used for workshop or storage not parking; discussed moving garage forward since lot is deep
and rear 30 % almost 50% applicant wanted to off set mass of building next door; when finish garage
will begin on house, dry rot is superficial applicant contractor and intends to expand porch, fix
shingles and convert bedroom at rear to master bedroom with bath all within existing footprint of the
house. He then moved denial of this project without prejudice noting; the garage should be within the
-2-
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes October 10, 1995
permitted height (1 story); if 1' were added there would be a legitimate 2 car garage to support this
property for the long term, the recreation room could be extended at the end of the garage structure
and the pool equipment could be incorporated into the garage structure thereby making only 1 structure
and reducing noise exposure for the neighbors; if one story windows would have much less impact on
privacy. The applicant was asked to come back to the commission with revised plans.
Motion was seconded by C. Deal and passed on a 5-0-2 (Cers. Ellis and Key absent) voice vote.
Appeal procedures were advised.
C. Deal noted a request for this many special permits indicates a project probably goes beyond the
intentions of the zoning code.
4. HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND SPECIAL PERMIT TO EXPAND A
CHURCH AT 2828 TROUSDALE DRIVE, ZONED R-1 (NORTH BURLINGAME
CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, PROPERTY OWNER AND PAUL K.
YAMAGUCHI, APPLICANTI.
Reference staff report, 10.10.95, with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request, reviewed
criteria, Planning Department comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration. Two
letters in opposition, only referring to on street parking impacts of the use were read into the record.
Chin. Jacobs opened the public hearing. Edgar Rodrigues, the engineer for the project, 15190 Cooper,
San Jose, explained the project noting the purpose of the project is to enhance exterior, do seismic
upgrade and make the building ADA accessible. Mr. Grewal, next door neighbor at 2846 Trousdale
Drive, told the commission he has no problem with enclosing the patio, it is the impact on the view
from his rear bedroom caused by the pitched roof that he is resisting. Mr. Rodrigues explained the
mock up shows the roof will have minimal impact on the view, it is at a 3:12 pitch to keep it as low
as possible. Additionally, the present flat roof leaks and they are hoping to address that problem by
pitching the roof enough to have proper drainage, also to allow mechanical duct work for central air
conditioning and heat in the attic. A number of members of the congregation were present to show
support. There were no other comments and the public hearing was closed.
C. Galligan commented that this application to extend the structure one foot toward the side and raise
the roof 3'-8" at the maximum and less in most places seems benign. There would be some view
impact to the house next door but the effect is partial and on a bedroom at the rear not a living room;
there is a structural problem associated with the present roof of the church which needs to be addressed
and they have done this by being sensitive to the neighbor and keeping the roof as low as possible.
He then moved approval of this Hillside Area Construction Permit and Special Permit application, by
resolution, with the following conditions: 1) that the project shall be built as shown on the plans
submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped August 24, 1995, sheets A-1, A-4, A-5 and
sheets A-2 and A-3 date stamped October 2, 1995; 2) that the conditions stated in the Fire Marshal's
August 28, 1995 and Chief building Inspector's August 28, 1995 memos shall be met; 3) that as built
the three new roof ridges added over the patio area shall not exceed elevation 22'-8" (face rear of
lot), 23'-2" (face west side of lot), and 23'-8' (face Trousdale frontage) and that after framing, before
attaching the roof, the roof ridge lines shall be surveyed by a licensed Engineer or surveyor to confirm
-3-
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes October 10, 1995
the framed heights, and the surveyed heights approved by the City Engineer before the roof shall be
attached; 4) that each congregation shall be reminded quarterly about the priorities in parking: church
lot, on -street in front of the church, Sebastian where there are no houses fronting on the street; and
5) that all new construction shall conform to all the requirements of the Uniform Fire and Uniform
Building Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame.
Motion was seconded by C. Mink and passed on a 5-0-2 (Cers. Ellis and Key absent) voice vote.
Appeal procedures were advised.
5. FENCE EXCEPTION FOR HEIGHT OF FENCE IN THE FRONT SETBACK AT 2836
HILLSIDE DRIVE, ZONED R-1, (ROLANDO PASQUALE, PROPERTY OWNER AND
APPLICANT).
Reference staff report, 10.10.95, with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request, reviewed
criteria, Planning Department comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration. CE asked
that a correction be made on the city drawing. There should be 6' clear to the edge of the pillar for
sight distance.
Chm. Jacobs opened the public hearing. Mr. Pasquale, 2836 Hillside was present to answer the
commissions questions. He noted the reason for the fence was to keep children in, because of corner
lot on Hillside exposed on three sides. There were questions about the size of the pillars and it was
explained that they need to be that large to support the 24' wide gate also height because of slope on
lot and need level gate.. The wide gate opening is needed because the driveway splits to the left to
the front door and to the right to the garage. this division also drives the placement of the pillars, one
being in the city right-of-way. This project will not block and views and is safe from an engineering
point of view. Fence and gate will be designed to match wrought iron on house. There were no other
comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioners commented that the fence will look large because it is so exposed; too massive, could
be reduced by being inset from edge of paving.
C. Mink noted the exceptional circumstance is the current width of the driveway needed because of
the way it serves the front of the house and garage, there is no public hazard and the neighboring
properties will not be materially damaged. He then moved approval of this Fence Exception
application, by resolution, with the following conditions: 1) that the fence and gate shall be built as
shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date stamped September 7, 1995 (site plan
and fence sections) and in conformance with the Public Works Department drawings date stamped
September 27, 1995 (proposed fence installation site plan and detail), with the pillars not to exceed
7'-0" and 9'-5" in height and the gate one foot lower (6'-0" to 8'-5") as measured from the highest
adjacent grade; 2) that within 90 days, an application for an encroachment permit for one pillar and
portions of the gate and fence located in the public right-of-way shall be submitted for City action, no
construction shall commence until an encroachment permit has been approved; 3) that the conditions
of the City Engineer's September 11 and 29, 1995 memo and the Chief Building Inspector's September
11, 1995 memo shall be met; 4) that application shall be made to the Building Department for issuance
of a building permit for construction of the pillars, gate and fence before installation shall commence;
-4-

and 5) that the project shall meet all Uniform Building and Uniform fire Code requirements as
amended by the City of Burlingame.
Motion was seconded by C. Galligan and passed on a 4-1-2 (C. Deal dissenting and Cers. Ellis and
Key absent) voice vote. Appeal procedures were advised.
6. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR CLASSES INCIDENTAL TO RETAIL USE AT 1354 BURLINGAME
AVENUE, ZONED C-1, SUBAREA A (THOMAS AND DIANE AYOOB, PROPERTY
OWNERS AND CAROL HORN-DAVIS OF GYMBOREE CORPORATION, APPLICANT).
Reference staff report, 10.10.95, with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request, reviewed
criteria, Planning Department comments. Ten conditions were suggested for consideration. A letter
in favor of the project was read into the record.
Chm. Jacobs opened the public hearing. Carol Horn -Davis, Nancy Pido, President, Bob Campbell,
Director of Operations, representing Gymboree Corporation, 700 Airport Boulevard. Nancy Pido
defined the purpose of the Corporation and described the reasons Gymboree choose to incorporate the
play classes and retail sales for the first time at this site (described it is near their Corporate offices
in Burlingame). Mr. Campbell asked that the times in condition #2 be changed from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00
a.m., from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and that Sunday classes be allowed from 8:00 a. m. to 9:00 p.m.
since there is no issue with parking on Sunday and it would assist them in meeting their times of peak
demand. The actual scheduling will be dependent on response to marketing. He also asked that the
limitation of one parent per child participant be eliminated from the conditions, since two parents
sometimes attend with their child, usually at evening classes. In response to commissioners questions
the applicant discussed a clarification of program between 45 minutes and 1 hour 15 minute activities,
the applicant noted that all classes would be scheduled within the stated time blocks, the specialized
classes and activities would more likely be on the weekends, longer classes will be with older children
and in the afternoon; Burlingame is the first site where they are trying to combine retail and play
classes; will not keep St. Paul's gymboree program if this site is approved. There were no other
comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioners discussion included high quality program but serious parking problem at this location
better in a strip mall like Plaza; need 15 minutes between classes because of location; use of rear door
of this site for children and parents very dangerous, traffic oblivious to pedestrians; commission has
an obligation to building owners and tenants to insure proper mix of uses so parking demand balanced;
people manage when parking short, customers will decide it is worth it; retail will benefit from play
program and will bring people downtown; traffic volume for a video store is greater; past experience
trying to legislate class times in a similar use show not work.
C. Jacobs then moved denial of this special permit application due to the anticipated parking impact
noting the area cannot support this use and impact.
Motion was seconded by C. Deal and passed on a 4-1-2 (C. Galligan dissenting and Cers. Ellis and
Key absent) roll call vote. Appeal procedures were advised.

7. SPECIAL PERMIT AMENDMENT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE PREVIOUS PERMITS
FOR A WOMEN'S FITNESS CENTER AT 1208 DONNELLY AVENUE, ZONED C-1
SUBAREA B-1 (DAY FAMILY LTD PARTNERSHIP, PROPERTY OWNER AND RANDALL
DELUE, APPLICANT). (CONTINUED TO MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1995 PLANNING
COMMISSION MEETING).
9. SPECIAL PERMITS TO ALLOW A CANNING OPERATION AND OUTDOOR STORAGE AT
1333 MARSTEN ROAD, ZONED M-1 (STEVE REEDY AND GROVE HOOVER, PROPERTY
OWNERS AND STEVE REEDY, APPLICANT).
Reference staff report, 10.10.95, with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request, reviewed
criteria, Planning Department comments. Six conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chm. Jacobs opened the public hearing. Steve Reedy, 3103 Hillside Drive explained his application
to the commission stating he does not agree with the city attorney's definition of canning, his operation
is essentially a bottling process. He combines pre -prepared items and puts them in bottles. He noted
there is no waste and no odors just aromas; he puts nothing down the drain; he has a problem neighbor
annoyed because of a car or employee parking on Rollins Road; he improved the site removed the old
tin fence and replaced it with a picket fence and power gate, increased security. There are 6-7 people
in the manufacturing plant, actually there are 12-14 employees on-site. Mr. Michaels, 1327-29 Rollins
Road spoke in support of the application, indicating there is no parking problem on Marsten Road and
the property upgrade will eliminate an eyesore. Tony Leopardo, 1314 Rollins Road spoke in
opposition. He complained about parking on Rollins, employees have not parked on site for 21h years,
very frequent deliveries and the -off and -on loading of trucks on the city streets and in the driveway
and an excess of debris. The site is so crowded that BFI must pickup on the street. there is no space
to park on site, some of the 33 spaces are on Michael's rentals site. Mr. Reedy countered that the so
called debris is recycle bins from BFI and that there are no complaints from any other neighbor. He
claims to enforce the employee parking on-site as best he can. There is no customer parking the
activity is only wholesale sales. Neighbor commented that he would like applicant to develop a track
record of compliance before a permit is issued. There were no other comments and the public hearing
was closed.
Commission asked that the applicant be aware that the spaces designated for parking are not for
storage or personal use, i.e., storage of boat trailers or inoperable employee cars. CA responded to
a question from the commission regarding conditions of approval, the result if approved, would be that
the city will act on complaints and if they are not in compliance with their conditions the permit can
be revoked.
C. Deal then moved approval of this special permit application, by resolution, with the following
amended conditions:
1) that the uses shall be carried out within the building as shown on the Plans date stamped August
23, 1995, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2; 2) that 14 parking spaces, as shown on the amended plan dated
September 20, 1995, shall be labeled for the exclusive use of S&D Foods, Inc., and its owners or
affiliates and that the labeling shall be completed and inspected within 30 days after this action
1.1
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes October 10, 1995
becomes final; 3) that the on-site parking shall include two disabled accessible parking spaces (one
van) and shall be accessible at all times by all employees and all employees shall use the on-site
parking and shall not park their vehicles ont he street along Rollins Road or Marsten Road; 4) that the
outdoor storage areas shall be enclosed by an 8'-0" high opaque fence and kept clean of waste and
debris produced by the canning process and that all materials for recycling, shall be kept contained and
clean to prevent the attraction of rodents and other vermin and shall be maintained in an orderly
fashion and in good repair by the property owner and/or tenant and that the enclosures shall be
installed within 30 days after this action becomes final; 5) that the conditions set forth in the Associate
Engineer's memo dated August 28, 1995 shall be met; and 6) that the number of employees of S &
D Foods, Inc. and its owners or affiliates on site at any one time shall not exceed 14; any increase in
the number of employees or operations which exceed the capacity of the site shall require this use
permit to be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
Motion was seconded by C. Mink and passed on a 5-0-2 (Cers. Ellis and Key absent) voice vote.
Appeal procedures were advised.
10. TENTATIVE AND FINAL PARCEL MAP FOR 150 ANZA BOULEVARD, ZONED C-4 (SAN
FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HOMETEL LTD., PROPERTY OWNER AND
APPLICANT). (CONTINUED TO MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1995 PLANNING
COMMISSION MEETING).
8. PARKING VARIANCE AT 1215 CALIFORNIA DRIVE, ZONED C-2, AND SPECIAL
PERMIT FOR PARKING AREA IN THE R-3 ZONE AT 1109 RHINETTE AVENUE (DON
SABATINI, PROPERTY OWNER AND ARDIS JEROME OF GOODWILL INDUSTRIES,
APPLICANT).
C. Galligan stated that he must abstain from the vote and the pubic hearing because of his involvement
with the property owner, Mr. Sabatini. He left the room.
Reference staff report, 10.10.95, with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request, reviewed
criteria, Planning Department comments. A total of 12 conditions (7 conditions for 1215 California
and 5 conditions for 1109 Rhinette) were suggested for consideration.
Commission asked about the donations trailer located on the Rhinette lot and about whether the area
behind the wall being used by the restaurant on Broadway was a part of this site, it is now believed
to be on an easement.
Chm. Jacobs opened the public hearing. Norm Book, representing Mr. Sabatini, and Ardis Jerome,
representing Goodwill, 1500 Mission Street, San Francisco, were present to describe the application
to the commission. Mr. Book explained the previous use was auto repair, tried 6 months to find a
tenant and had opportunities but felt retail was a better use despite having to invest in the property to
attract a retail tenant; asking for an 11 space parking variance but providing mitigation; the properties
are in common ownership, they understand the restriction to keep them together, 2 oil/gas tanks have
been removed and there is no remediation or monitoring required; if issue denied ask for denial
without prejudice so can respond to concerns.

Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes October 10, 1995
Ms. Jerome explained they expect to be a long term tenant, employee training and job placement are
important aspects of their business. There will be 10 employees (3 part time). The majority of
trainees and employees are transitional, work for minimum wage and are encouraged to use mass
transit. They intend to improve this retail site, store contains new and used merchandise. The
donation trailer is attended when open. They use one bobtail a day to deliver merchandise, can deliver
between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. or before 7:00 a.m.; donation trailer replaced 1 to 2 times a month.
Trucks can come off California or by way of Broadway, Laguna, Rhinette as shown in the packet.
Laguna and Rhinette are residential streets; goodwill is not tied to any specific time for delivery, city
can direct; truck access to site is limited because of fence and gate, need wider driveway, 30', no
landscaping is shown, willing to plant vines on fences and trees. Easement at rear is a utility
easement, half used by each property.
John Cimino, Jr. 1060 Carolyn Avenue, #101, representing Burlingame Villa at 1117 Rhinette,
questioned the maneuverability on Rhinette, which is only 26' wide and not 36' as shown, and
expressed concern about utility poles at curb which would limit driveway size and the ability to
maneuver. Laguna is a residential street only 26' wide; the Rhinette lot is not a parking lot but an
outdoor staging area with lots of activity and no landscaping; if city parking lot remains, the parking
will be good, if it doesn't the Rhinette lot is inadequate. CE noted the 26' width of the street would
inhibit the ability of a 28' trailer's maneuverability and turning radius. The applicant noted that they
could use smaller trucks; they need to unload on-site. The map labeled "Lincoln" should read
"Laguna". The applicant felt they could work with the CE for a method to eliminate traffic problems.
Mr. Book clarified Mr. Sabatini may not own that property. It was noted that they expected a
maximum of 50 people on site at one time. Mr. Book then asked the commission, if they move to
deny, to consider denying without prejudice. There were no other comments and the public hearing
was closed.
Commission questioned ingress, egress, the necessary width of the street to maneuver large trucks and
the tremendous amount of activity at that corner. Landscaping/trees next to city lot and ivy on the
residential fence at the west were suggested as a good opportunity to enhance the property, the
applicant agreed.
C. Deal then moved approval of this special permit and parking variance application with the
mitigation of providing the 11 parking spaces on Rhinette and providing landscaping and trees along
the fence by the city parking lot and vegetative screening on the fence to the west by residential
property and the wall by the restaurant, by resolution, with the following added and amended
conditions: (parking variance conditions 1215 California Drive) 1) that the project shall be built as
shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped September 15, 1995 with
6,290 SF retail sales area, 1220 SF office including disabled accessible restrooms, 330 SF training
room or office, and 1,344 SF of storage/stock room; 2) that the conditions of the Chief Building
Inspector's August 28, 1995, memo as they apply to the structure on the site at 1215 California Drive

pick ups shall be determined by the city engineer and may be altered by him as traffic congestion and
residential compatibility demands change; 3) that the training room facilities shall only be used for the
instruction of employees on the 1215 California site; 4) that on site at one time there shall be a
maximum of 9 employees, including all on site managers and one employee assigned to operate the

California Drive; and 7) that all improvements and construction shall be built in conformance with the
Uniform Building and Uniform Fire Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame; and (special permit
conditions 1109 Rhinette Avenue) 1) that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted
the Planning Department and date stamped September 15, 1995 the portion showing the 50' x 130' lot
known as 1109 Rhinette Avenue showing 11 parking spaces designed to city code standards and an
area at the rear for storing the donations trailer; 2) that the conditions of the Chief Building Inspector's
August 18, 1995, memo as they apply to the parking and disabled accessible access provided on 1109
Rhinette Avenue; 3) that this conditional use permit to use the lot at 1109 Rhinette Avenue as a
parking area to support the retail activity at 1215 California Drive shall be valid so long as the
properties at 1109 Rhinette Avenue and 1215 California Drive remain in the same ownership; the use
of 1109 Rhinette Avenue shall remain in parking with a minimum of 11 spaces; and that the uses
within the structure at 1215 California Drive remain 6,290 SF retail, 1,220 SF office, 330 SF training
room/office, 1,344 SF storage/stock room; 4) that irrigated landscaping be provided along the chain

absent) roll call vote.
Norm Book, representing the property owner and applicant asked that the commission reconsider and
deny this project without prejudice.
C. Deal then made a motion that the commission reconsider their vote.
The motion was seconded by C. Mink and failed on a 3-1-2 (C. Jacobs dissenting and Cers. Ellis and
Key absent) roll call vote. Appeal procedures were advised.
C. Jacobs described the traffic impact on Laguna and indicated that this is too much activity for the
corner of Broadway and California. She felt this to be the wrong location.
