City of Burlingame
Conditional Use Permit
Address: 1561 Adrian Road
Item No.
Regular Action
Meeting Date: July 9, 2012
Request: Conditional Use Permit for a non-auto related retail showroom and warehouse use (artificial
Christmas trees) in the Automobile Sales and Service Overlay area of the RR Zone.
Applicant: Thomas Harman, Balsam Hill APN's: 025-271-050, 060, 070, 080
Architect: John Page, E.A. Davidovits & Co. Lot Area: 187,726 SF
Property Owner: Frank Edwards Co. Zoning: RR
General Plan: Industrial & Associated Office Use — Auto Row Overlay District
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301, which states that existing facilities, consisting of the
operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of existing public or private
structures, facilities, mechanical equipment or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use
beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination are exempt from environmental review.
Existing Use: Warehouse — Vacant
Proposed Use: Retail Showroom/Warehouse — Balsam Brands (artificial Christmas trees)
Allowable Use: Air courier service, light industrial or manufacturing use, labs, office uses in conjunction
with a permitted use, warehouses, retail sales and display areas in conjunction with a
permitted use and commercial recreation uses are all allowed with a Conditional Use
Permit
Property Background: The site consists of four commonly owned parcels at the corner of David and Adrian
Roads with the addresses 1541 and 1561-1565 Adrian Road. Two existing buildings and their associated
parking spaces, which extend across the property lines, cause a de facto merger of all four parcels. There is a
10-foot public utility easement (PUE) running the length of the left (west) side of the site. The PUE is within the
property lines of the site. The owner of the project site also owns a 646 feet (length) x 140 feet (width) portion of
the drainage easement located west of 1541 and 1561-1565 Adrian Road.
There are two buildings on the project site. The building at 1541 Adrian Road contains the Go-Kart Racerfacility
which was approved by the Planning Commission with a Conditional Use Permit, Parking Variance and
Landscape Variance in March, 2003. The building at 1561-1565 Adrian Road contains office, warehouse and
storage and was previously leased to The Chronicle. The conditions of approval for the Go-Kart Racer facility tie
the building at 1541 Adrian Road, to the building at 1561-1565 Adrian Road. Because of this arrangement, both
parking and landscaping for these buildings and their uses has been analyzed for all four parcels as a whole.
Project Description: The applicant, Balsam Brands, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a non-auto
related retail showroom and warehouse use (artificial Christmas trees) at 1561 Adrian Road, zoned RR,
Automobile Sales and Service Overlay Area. Within the Auto Overlay Area, a Conditional Use Permit is required
for non-auto related retail showroom and warehouse (Code Section 25.44.050 b, 2). The applicant is proposing
to use 2,506 SF of existing warehouse space for a retail showroom and to continue to use the remaining space
for warehouse.
Balsam Brands sells home decor products, most specifically artificial Christmas trees, and has operated
seasonal showrooms for their products at various malls around the Bay Area for the past several holiday
seasons. They are looking to locate a permanent showroom in Burlingame to eliminate the need for their pop-up
showroom locations. There will be no manufacturing conducted on the premises. The proposed business will
be open on Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm and on the weekends from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm.
The proposed retail showroom will not be open for the first couple of years of operation and then will only
operate on a seasonal basis. In their letter of explanation, the applicant states that they anticipate that when the
seasonal retail showroom is open, there will be no more than 20-25 guests at a time. The number of employees
Conditional Use Permit 1561 Adrian Road
on site will range from 3 to 8 depending on the time of the day and the day of the week. The maximum number
of people expected on site at any one time for this business, including the owner and employees, is estimated to
be 37 persons.
There are currently 44 striped parking spaces designated to the building at 1561-1565 Adrian Road, where 43
spaces are required based on the use breakdown for that building. The applicant is proposing to re-stripe the
portion of the lot adjacent to the building, which will increase the number of parking spaces designated to the
building by 4 spaces, for a total of 48 spaces. With the proposed intensification of use, the number of required
spaces on-site will increase from 43 spaces to 45 spaces, where 48 spaces will be required. The proposed
project therefore complies with the on-site parking requirements. All other Zoning Code requirements have been
met. The applicant is requesting the following application:

Staff Comments: See attached memos from the City Engineer, Chief Building Official, Parks Supervisor, Fire
Marshal and Stormwater Coordinator.
Planning staff would note that because of the nature of the request, it was determined that this request could be
brought forward directly as an action item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may
be continued with direction to the applicant.
Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission
must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020, a-c):
(a) The proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or
improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or
convenience;
(b) The proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general plan
and the purposes of this title;
(c) The planning commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary
to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the

aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
1. that the retail showroom/warehouse shall be limited to 2,506 SF of retail showroom area at 1561 Adrian
Road, as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division and date stamped June 19, 2012;
2. that the retail showroom/warehouse business may not be open for business except during the hours of
Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm and on the weekends from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm;
3. that the number of people on site at 1561 Adrian Road at any one time, including the owner, employees
and customers shall not exceed 37 persons;
4. that the maximum number of employees, including the business owner, in 1601 Adrian Road shall be
limited to 8 persons;
5. that any changes to the floor area, use, hours of operation, or number of employees which exceeds the
maximums as stated in these conditions shall require an amendment to this conditional use permit; and
6. that any improvements for the use shall meet all California Building and Fire Codes, 2010 Edition, as
amended by the City of Burlingame.

Balsam Brands is excited to submit this CUP to convert up to 2,500 sq. ft. of 24,000 sq. ft. of
warehouse space at 1561 Adrian Road (in between Go Kart Racer and All Natural Stone Granite
& Fine Tile) to a retail showroom for our home decor products.
Balsam Brands, a Bay Area company founded in 2006, is a leading online reta'iler of home decor
products, led by its flagship brand, Balsam Hill. Balsam Hill is the leading national brand of
artificial Christmas trees, featured in publications and broadcasts ranging from the San Francisco
Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Oprah, Ellen,
Rachel Ray, The Today Show, Good Housekeeping, and many others. Balsam Brands is one of
the fastest growing internet retail companies and is part of the Internet Retail Top 500 index of
the SOO largest online retailers in the United States.
The company has signed a long term lease with Bob Edwaxds of Pacific Power & Equipment
Company for 24,000 sq. ft. of space to use as a warehouse. This warehouse will support our
specialized warehousing including small item pick and pack, returns, and warranty service. (The
company leases >200,000 sq. ft. of space in public warehouses across the country as its primary
distribution network.) As part of the Burlingame facility, we intend to open a retail showroom to
allow local Bay Area customers to see our products first hand and place orders for them in
person. In addition, we expect on a seasonal basis to offer a limited number of surplus items for
sale through a factory outlet store.
Historically, Balsam Brands has operated seasonal showrooms across the Bay Area to allow
local customers to view our products in person and order them for delivery by FedEx. For the
2006, 2007, and 2008 holiday seasons, Balsam Brands operated a seasonal showroom in the
Stanford Shopping Center. Seasonal showrooms were also located in San Francisco Centre,
Town Center Corte Madera; Broadway Plaza Mall in Walnut Creek, and Stoneridge Mall in
Pleasanton. The installation of a permanent showroom in Burlingame will allow for a single
seasonal showroom to serve customers in the Bay Area without the added expense and hassle of
seasonally setting up "pop up" showrooms in shopping malls.
Balsam Brands expects the showroom to have an extremely low impact on the neighborhood.
Pea.k moments at retail showrooms at the local malls had at 20-25 guests at one time, many of
whom were passersby who stopped into the store while browsing the mall. Given that the
Burlingame showroom will only serve those who actively seek out these products, it is expected
to be very low traffic. Economically this still is viable for the company as the average purchase
price per sale is quite high (�$800).
Balsam Brands, 28 East Third Avenue, Suite 200, San Mateo, CA 94401
►�
� �
' BALSAIVi BRAI�IDS
For the remaining 21,600 sq. ft. of warehouse space, the expected staff level in pea.k season is 8
people. The majority of truck traffic to/from the building will be by FedEx, which would already
be driving past the building. We do not expect to employ any office staff in this warehouse as
our main offce is nearby in downtown San Mateo.
Relative to the Adrian Road neighborhood, this use is less traffic intensive than the sports venues
(Go Kart Racer and the Badminton center) and is consistent with the retail showroom use of the
marble and tile centers. Since the expected use of the showroom is seasonal and the overall load
on the building (total employees plus total expected customers) is low, not to mention that most
deliveries will be by FedEx, we expect this to be a very non-intensive use of this property.
Thank you for your consideration of this CUP application, and please let me know if there are
any questions I can answer.
Best regards,

including the PUE on the Adrian site which was visible from the street and also from the parking in the
dxainage area which could be landscaped. Adding irrigated landscaping to this area, along with the
landscaping proposed by the applicant, would increase total landscaping on the site to the required 10%.
CA Anderson asked that a condition be added that parking in the drainage ar�a is at the risk of the people
who park there because the purpose of the drain is flood control, and that the city should be held harmless.
There were no other comments or questions on the staff report.

allowed to drive or play video games; the reaso� for the requested change is to further promote the activity as
a family activity, family can come see father or mother drive; presence would be limited to the viewing area.
Commission asked if the applicant would be willing to add the landscaping along the west side of the
building, it would be good to eliminate a variance and meeting the landscape requirement is consistent with
the objectives for this Subarea in the planning studies on going in the Rollins Road area at this time.
Applicant noted that they were not aware they could landscape this area, and would do so if they could.
Commission asked about the requested change in persons under 18 on the site after 6 p.m. Applicant noted
want young people to be able to observe the activity any time when there with a parent or guardian but do
not want unaccompanied children under 18 hanging out in the viewing area or arcade. The core of the
business is adults, especially in the evenings.
Other testimony: have a business in the area and was concerned about having to secure parking area because
the Go Kart business would be a Mecca for kids, with alcohol and litter. Reassured to hear that it is an adult
oriented facility, look to the commission to protect adjacent properties from impacts; for the past 6 or more
years the area has been secure, without litter and graphite free. Been involved with this type of recreational
activity, participants don't drink or use drugs; good activity for a family everyone is involved. Applicant
responded appreciate concern about loitering, use should not be negative to the area, a clean, positive
experience. There were no further comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
C. Vistica moved approval of the conditional use permit for recreation use in the M-1 zone and for a 41
space on-site parking variance with the mitigation that 43 parking spaces be paved and improved in the

improvements for the use shall meet all California Building and Fire Codes, 2001 Edition, as amended by
the City of Burlingame.
Comment on the motion: would like the condition regarding landscaping of the axea on the west side of the
building to include the requirement of including large scale shrubs and vines planted on the building as well
as trees, the City Arborist can recommend species which will do well in that environment; support the
business, a good idea, would like to note on the landscape requirement, because have not discussed this with
property owner, can grant applicant a lesser variance, 10% rather than 50% of required total site landscaping
to give him some flexibility in implementation and room so that he does not need to return to the
commissian in the near future. Maker of the motion and second agreed to granting a variance for total on
site landscaping o� 90% of what is required for the duration of this use on this site or until the existing
buildings on the site are removed. It was noted that the signage for the site, including directional signs for
the parking would be handled later with the sign program under the requirements of the sign code.
Chair Keighran called for a voice vote on the motion to approve the conditional use permit for the Go Kart
commercial recreational use with amended conditions. The motion passed on a 6-0-1 (C. Keele absent)
voice vote. Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded at 9:40 p.m.
