BACKGROUND The subject property is a flag lot and is substandard in size (4,309 SF), with a width and frontage of 40’-0” along Sanchez Avenue. Though it also has frontage on Chula Vista Avenue, it is not a corner lot (see area map and plans). The frontage on Chula Vista Avenue measures 8.83’ and contains a curb cut providing access to a detached garage which previously existed on the property. The detached garage has been demolished and will be replaced with an approved accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The curb cut will continue to provide access to an uncovered parking space. A building permit was issued on July 18, 2024 for a major remodel, a first floor addition at the rear of the house (rebuilding a nonpermitted addition in the same footprint), and to enclose the existing front covered porch and convert it into living area. Throughout construction of the project, the applicant submitted several revisions to the building permit to address issues with the foundation. The description in the fourth revision statement (Revision #4) stated “Partial foundation and framing changes”. Based on that description, the revised plans were only routed for structural review and the revision was approved; the revised plans were not routed to other City divisions for review. However, the revised plans showed more extensive work than described in the Revision Statement, which included removal of all walls except for the front wall of the house. Removal of more than 50% of exterior walls of a house is subject to Design Review. Therefore, Revision #4 was issued in error since it was not properly reviewed by all City divisions. A Stop Work Order was issued on January 22, 2025 and the applicant was notified to submit an application for Design Review. With this application, the applicant is proposing to rebuild the original one-story dwelling, including rear first floor addition, within the same footprint. Changes to the plate height (increasing from 8’-0” to 9’-0”; 9’-0” allowed) and original rooflines are also proposed. The total proposed floor area would be 1,553 SF (0.36 FAR), where 2,479 SF (0.58 FAR) is the maximum allowed; the total proposed lot coverage would be 1,568 SF (36.4%), where 1,724 SF (40%) is the maximum allowed. The applicant is also requesting a Variance for the front setback to retain the existing front setback (16’-0” existing/proposed where 19’-2” is the block average). The subject property is located on the short end of the block, so the average of the block was based on three existing dwellings. PC/02/10/2025 Project No. DSR25-0002 1202 Sanchez Avenue Page 2 Prior to construction, the property contained no landscape trees. With this project, two new 24-inch box landscape trees (Jacaranda Mimosifolia) are proposed at the front of the main dwelling. The existing street tree will remain. There would be a total of three bedrooms in the proposed dwelling. Per C.S. 25.48.030.L.3.a., no parking is required for the ADU because it is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit (bus stop located on El Camino Real/Hillside Drive). Per C.S. 25.47.030.L.5., when a garage is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU, those off-street parking spaces are not required to be replaced. The proposed project has no covered parking requirement and no covered parking is proposed. However, one uncovered space is required and provided in the driveway. Therefore, the project is in compliance with off-street parking requirements. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:  Major Design Review for a new, one-story single-unit dwelling (C.S. 25.68.020.C.1.a.); and  Variance for front setback (16’-0” proposed where 19’-2” is the minimum required based on the block average) (C.S. 25.10.050.B.1.). ANALYSIS Table 1 below compares the proposed project to the development standards for a single-unit dwelling (based on the R-1 zoning district). As noted above, the proposed project complies with all development standards, with the exception of the front setback requirement.

Consistency with any applicable design guidelines; 2. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 3. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; 4. Architectural style and consistency and mass and bulk of structures, including accessory structures; 5. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; 6. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components; and 7. In the case of an addition, compatibility with the architectural style and character of the existing structure as remodeled. Environmental Review The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including one single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone, is exempt from environmental review. In urbanized areas, this exemption may be applied to the construction or conversion of up to three (3) single-family residences as part of a project.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission, by resolution, approve a Master Sign Program as conditioned. BACKGROUND The application includes a new projecting sign (50 SF per side) on the Trousdale Drive frontage, located on the second and third stories of an existing 4-story assisted living facility building. Only one face of a double-faced sign shall be used to calculate the area of a double-faced sign (Code Section 25.42.070, B.3.). The proposed projecting sign would consist of a double-faced painted aluminum cabinet and be internally illuminated. Please refer to Table 1 on the following page for more detailed information. In addition, two existing wall signs at the ground floor building entrance would be replaced with a new non-illuminated wall sign (8 SF). The proposed wall sign complies with sign code regulations. The applicant is requesting the following application:  Master Sign Program for a new projecting sign above the first story on an assisted living building along the Trousdale Drive frontage (Code Section 25.42.060, C.) This space intentionally left blank. PC/02/10/2025 Project No. MSP25-0001 1818 Trousdale Drive Page 2 ANALYSIS Staff reviewed the proposed projecting sign and confirmed that it complies with the measurable criteria listed below. In addition, staff believes that the rectangular shape and design of the projecting sign is compatible with the architectural style of the building and is in proportion to the large building façade along Trousdale Drive. Master Sign Program A Master Sign Program is required for signs located above the first story of a building in cases where regulations for upper floor signs are not specifically stated. A Master Sign Program provides a means for the flexible application of sign regulations for projects that require multiple signs and/or unique signs, such as placement of signs above the first story of a building . Proposed signs included with a Master Sign Program request shall comply with the following: 1. The placement of any such sign shall not obscure any building or window trim or any architectural feature of the building. 2. The sign shape and design shall be compatible with the architectural style of the building on which it is placed. 3. The sign size shall be in proportion to façade portion on which it is placed. 4. No more than one sign shall be placed on any building frontage. 5. The total area of all signage on any one frontage shall be 1.0 square foot of sign area per 1.0 lineal foot of building frontage, with no sign permitted to be larger than 60 square feet. 6. Any proposed deviation from subsection 1 through 5 above, except for total allowed sign area, may be considered by the responsible Review Authority upon demonstration by the applicant that the deviation will create a superior design result. Table 1 below compares the proposed projecting sign to the sign code regulations for the NBMU zoning district.

MSP25-0001 WHEREAS, an application has been made by Michele Kazerooni, on behalf of Property Owner, Sunrise BG SR LIV Propco LLC, for a Master Sign Program for a new projecting sign above the first story on an assisted living facility building in the North Burlingame Mixed-Use zoning district, APN: 025-121-270; and WHEREAS, on February 10, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Burlingame held a duly noticed public hearing at which time it reviewed and considered the staff report and all other written materials and testimony presented at said hearing; and WHEREAS, on February 10, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Burlingame reviewed and considered a Categorical Exemption under Section 15311(a) (Class 11 – Accessory Structures) for the Project; and NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Burlingame does here by resolve, find, determine and order as follows: SECTION 1: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15311(a) (Class 11 – Accessory Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that construction or placement of minor structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, including but not limited to on-premise signs, is exempt from environmental review. SECTION 2: City of Burlingame Municipal Code (BMC) authorizes the Planning Commission to grant a Master Sign Program upon making certain findings. The Planning Commission finds the following: MASTER SIGN PROGRAM FINDINGS (BMC SECTION 25.42.060(D)) 1. The master sign program complies with the purpose and intent of this section and chapter. The proposed projecting sign included in the Master Sign Program complies with the purpose and intent of the regulations outlined in Burlingame Municipal Code, Code Section 25.42.060 D. 1.-8., in that the placement of the projecting sign does not obscure any building or window trim or any architectural feature of the building, that the shape and design of the sign is compatible with the architectural style of the building on which it is placed, that the size of the proposed sign is in proportion to the large building façade along Trousdale Drive, and that no more than one upper floor sign is proposed on the Trousdale Drive frontage. 2. The master sign program does not allow any sign that is prohibited by Section 25.42.040 (Prohibited Signs). The proposed projecting sign in the Master Sign Program is not a sign that is prohibited by Section 25.42.040 (Prohibited Signs). MSP25-0001 PC/02/10/2025 Page 2 3. The master sign program standards will result in signs that are visually related or complementary to each other and to the buildings and/or developments they identify through the integration of predominant architectural materials, elements, or details of such buildings or developments. The proposed sign is complementary to the architectural style and details of the existing assisted living facility building and contributes to the overall image of the City, in that the proposed materials of the sign, including an internally lit painted aluminum cabinet, are compatible with the building materials. 4. The signage shall make a positive visual contribution to the overall image of the City. The proposed double-faced projecting sign, located on the second and third floors of the building and visible to pedestrians, will contribute to the City’s mixed-use image in the NBMU zoning district. 5. Any deviations from sign standards are justified by unique circumstances or conditions applicable to the property. The deviations from sign standards are justified by unique circumstances or conditions applicable to the property in that the projecting sign is needed on the upper floors to identify the building given its size and location on a corner property on a busy roadway used by private and commercial vehicles. 6. The master sign program will not result in signs that would impair pedestrian and vehicular safety. The Master Sign Program will not result in signs that would impair pedestrian and vehicular safety in that the projecting sign is located 14’-10” above grade, does not extend into any public right-of-way or vehicular driveway, and does not contain any animated or changeable copy or flashing lights. 7. Light and glare associated with the signs will not negatively affect nearby residential uses. The light and glare associated with the projecting sign will not negatively af fect the residential uses since there would be no direct lighting from exterior light fixtures (signs would be internally lit) and the sign will not have animated or changeable copy or flashing lights. SECTION 3: The Planning Commission of the City of Burlingame after conducting the public hearing HEREBY APPROVES DSR25-0001 subject to the following conditions: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped January 3, 2025, sheets 1 through 8; 2. that any increase in the number or area of the signs shall be subject to Planning Division or Planning Commission review (may require amendment to Master Sign Program); 3. that if the structure is demolished or the envelope changed at a later date, the Master Sign Program associated with the building, as well as any other exceptions to the code granted here will become void; and MSP25-0001 PC/02/10/2025 Page 3 4. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Uniform Fire Codes, in effect at time of building permit submittal, as amended by the City of Burlingame. SECTION 4: The Master Sign Program approval shall be subject to revocation if the applicant fails to comply with the conditions listed herein at any time. If, at any time, the Community Development Director or Planning Commission determine that there has been or may be a violation of the findings or conditions of this approval, or of the Zoning Regulations, a public hearing may be held before the Planning Commission to review this approval pursuant to Zoning Regulation Section 25.88.050. At said hearing, the Planning Commission may add conditions, or recommend enforcement actions, or revoke the approval entirely, as necessary to ensure compliance with the Zoning Regulations, and to provide for the health, safety, and general welfare of the community.

Figure 1: Burlingame General Plan Neighborhoods Context Map The Burlingame General Plan envisions Broadway to be: Broadway will continue to be a commercial corridor, with a requirement for ground -floor uses and development approaches that encourage and su pport pedestrian activity. Public realm improvements and ongoing maintenance will create a distinctive look for the corridor. Increasing foot traffic, creating gathering places, and improving the façades will strengthen Broadway as a neighborhood district and preserve its distinct character and function. Residential development on upper floors along the Broadway frontage will bring additional people and vitality to the district. An emphasis will be placed on reuse and rehabilitation of character -defining structures. Infill Broadway Specific Plan February 10, 2025 2 development projects will respect and respond to the pedestrian scale and simple architectural styles. Building scales will include structures no higher than three stories (approximately 45 feet). Goal CC-7: Ensure that Broadway maintains its character as a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly, mixed- use district that supports and encourages local businesses and local investment, and that serves as a gathering place for Burlingame residents and a quaint destination for visitors.  CC-7.1: Mix of Uses and Activities Encourage a diverse mix of commercial, office, and residential uses that support both daytime and evening activity, increase foot traffic, and attract visitors.  CC-7.2: Pedestrian-Friendly District Ensure active and transparent ground-floor uses by restricting businesses fronting Broadway to retail, service, dining, and entertainment businesses.  CC-7.3: Supporting Uses Encourage second- and third-story office and residential uses along Broadway, and allow ground-floor office and residential (including lofts and live/work units) on side streets within the Broadway Mixed Use designation. Accommodate additional office space on ground floors of mixed use development on side streets.  CC-7.4: Scale of Development Maintain the scale of developmen t along Broadway to up to three stories, with more intensity at California Drive and El Camino Real. Ensure that residential and mixed use developments along side streets are designed and scaled to create a transition to lower-density residential neighborhoods. Subsequently, the City applied for and received a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to prepare the Broadway Specific Plan. MTC funded preparation of the specific plan given the proximity of the area to the Broadway CalTrain station and the ability to incorporate MTC’s Transit-Oriented Communities policies into the specific plan. MTC adopted the Transit-Oriented Communities Policy in 2022 and revised it in 2023. The TOC Policy is an implementation policy of Plan Bay Area 2050 with the goal to “make it easier for people in the Bay Area to live a car-free or car-light lifestyle,” by increasing the density of housing, jobs and activities near stations, and improving connections around and between station areas. Compliance with the TOC Policy is voluntary, but is required to qualify for future OBAG transportation funding. The path to TOC Policy compliance is a combination of required elements and elective elements. More information about the TOC Policy is available at the MTC web site: https://mtc.ca.gov/planning/land-use/transit-oriented-communities-toc-policy The Broadway Specific Plan aims to combine the vision and goals established in the Burlingame General Plan, incorporate the MTC Transit-Oriented Communities Policy, and the feedback and input received from stakeholders and community from the engagement act ivities. Broadway Specific Plan February 10, 2025 3 DISCUSSION The City of Burlingame contracted with MIG planning consultants to aid with the development of the Broadway Specific Plan and the project kicked off in April 2023. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Community Advisory Committee (CAC) were formed to a id staff as a sounding board for the project as it progressed through the process. To date, the following work has been done on the Broadway Specific Plan:  Joint Planning Commission and City Council Meeting  TAC and CAC #1 – Emerging Vision  TAC and CAC #2 – Existing Conditions Report  Community Workshop #1  Community Pop-up #1 & #2  Community Survey #1  TAC and CAC #3 – Emerging Vision Framework  Eight (8) technical background reports All the community engagement and analysis to date has led to the development of a draft Emerging Vision Framework for the specific plan. The framework was shared with the T AC and CAC to receive preliminary feedback and is the topic of discussion with the Planning Commission. Attached is a slide deck that provides background information, summaries of the comments/feedback received from the community engagement, and the framework. The attached slide deck has more detail than what will be presented at the February 10 meeting. The presentation will be condensed to allow more time for questions and discussion from the Planning Commission; however, any items can be discussed in further detail should there be a desire to discuss any of the topics in more detail. Also, more information on the project can be find on the project website: https://www.burlingame.org/503/Broadway-Specific-Plan Prepared by: Neda Zayer Community Development Director Exhibits:  Emerging Broadway Vision Framework slide deck Emerging Broadway Vision Framework City Council Study Session | February 03, 2025 Agenda I.Project Updates II.Emerging Broadway Vision Framework and Discussion I.Next Steps 2 I. Project Updates General PlanHow it started… City of Burlingame In January 2019, the City adopted a new General Plan known as "Envision Burlingame“ that established a future vision for Broadway. Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) MTC provided funding to prepare the Broadway Specific Plan, including community engagement, to identify ways for accommodating future growth based on MTC Transit-Oriented Community policies: •Increase the overall housing density/supply and prioritize affordable housing in transit-rich areas. •Increase commercial densities for new development in transit- rich areas near regional transit hubs. •Prioritize bus transit, active transportation, and shared mobility within and to/from transit-rich areas, particularly to Equity Priority Communities located more than one half-mile from transit stops or stations. •Support and facilitate partnerships to create equitable transit- oriented communities within the San Francisco Bay Area Region. 4 Plan Area The Plan Area is bounded by California Drive to the north, El Camino Real to the south, Lincoln Avenue in the west and Carmelita Avenue in the east. Broadway runs down the center of the Plan Area and forms a primary connection for vehicles traveling between US Route 101 and El Camino Real. Broadway Figure 1.1.
