Action Meeting
City of Burlingame
Amendment to Conditional Use Permit to Exceed 1.0 Floor Area Ratio and
Conditional Use Permit to Vary from Bayfront Design Guidelines for Lot Coverage
For a Courtyard Enclosure at the DoubleTree Hotel
Address: 835 Airport Boulevard Meeting Date: 02/10/03
Request: Conditional use permit amendment to exceed 1.0 floor area ratio and conditional use permit to
vary from the Design Guidelines for Bayfront Development for lot coverage for a courtyard enclosure at
835 Airport Boulevard, zoned C-4.
Applicant: Bruce Carlton, Doubletree Hotel APN: 026-343-430 &-440
Property Owner: Today's III, Inc. Lot Area: 4.77 Acres (207,659 SF)
Architect: Gumbinger/Avram Associates
Burlingame Bayfront Specific Area Plan: Restaurants/Hotels Zoning: C-4
Section: 15301 - Existing Facilities, Class 1(e)(2), Additions to existing structures provided that the
addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 SF, and if all public facilities are available for
maximum development permissible in the general plan, and the site is not in an environmentally sensitive
area.
Adjacent Development: Offices, Hotels, and former City of Burlingame Sanitary Landfill site.
Previous Use: 392-room hotel with meeting room facilities.
Proposed Use: Enclose interior courtyard with a roof structure
Allowable Use: Hotels with meeting room facilities
History: On November 26, 2001, the Planning Commission approved a mitigated negative declaration,
conditional use permit amendment, conditional use permit and parking variance to allow the construction
of a singe-story meeting room space addition to the DoubleTree Hotel. The DoubleTree Hotel is an 8-
story, 392-room hotel located at 835 Airport Boulevard. The hotel has 9,645 SF of banquet/meeting room
space and received approval on November 26, 2001, to add an additiona14,372 SF of banquet/meeting
space to the north and south sides of the building, increasing the total banquet/meeting room space to
14,017 SF.
Building pernuts were not issued for this proj ect within the year following the approval, so the applicant
applied for, and was granted, a one-year extension in November 2002, to December 3, 2003. The meeting
room addition would increase the floor area ratio of the hotel from 1.14 to 1.16 FAR. A conditional use
permit for floor area ratio is required for an FAR between 1.0 and 2.0. A conditional use permit for floor
area was approved. Since the approval for the meeting room space addition has been extended, the current
proposal to enclose the courtyard is being reviewed with the assumption that the meeting room space will
be constructed. If the meeting room addition is built along with this proposal for the courtyard enclosure,
the floor area will increase and requires a conditional use permit amendment for FAR between 1.0 and 2.0.
The lot coverage would also increase from 23.6% to 25.5% which is a variation from the Design
Guidelines for Bayfront Development which establishes a maximum lot coverage between 20-25% for all
buildings over 50 feet in height. Please see the table below for more information.
Conditional Use Permit and Conditional Use Permit Amendment 835 Airport Blvd.
Summary: The applicant, Bruce Carlton General Manager of the DoubleTree Hotel, is proposing to
enclose an existing interior courtyard with a roof structure. The courtyard is located in the middle of two
eight-story buildings on the east and west side, a three-story building on the north side, and a one story
building on the south side. The courtyard is currently open to the sky which limits year round because of
weather. The applicant is proposing to enclose the 3,849 SF space with a glazed roof structure that would
create a year-round atrium. The maximum height of the structure would be 23 feet at its center, as
measured from adjacent grade. The enclosed space that would be created with the addition of the roof
structure would allow year-round use of the courtyard space and would enhance the use of the existing
adjacent spaces.
The proposed courtyard enclosure would add 3,849 SF of floor area, increasing the floor area ratio from
1.16 to 1.18. A conditional use permit is required for floor area between 1.0 and 2.0 in the C-4 zoning
district and a variance is required for FAR exceeding 2.0 (C.S. 25.41.090 and C.S. 25.41.025( fl). This
proposed increase in floor area is considered a conditional use permit amendment to the previously
approved conditional use permit in 2001 for FAR between 1.0 and 2.0 for the meeting room addition.
The courtyard enclosure also increases the lot coverage on the site by 3,849 SF to 25.5% where 25% is the
maximum for buildings over 50 feet in height. The existing lot coverage (with meeting room addition) is
23.6%(49,171SF). A conditional use permit for variation from the Design Guidelines for Bayfront
Development is required for lot coverage exceeding the maximum allowed.
The parking requirement for hotel use is one parking space for each hotel room. A parking variance was
granted in 2001 for 265 on-site parking spaces and 127 spaces on an adjacent parcel, where 392 on-site
spaces are required. Since this proposal does not add guest rooms to the hotel or take away existing
parking, there is no additional parking required.
Property Development Standards: Table 1 shows the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the
Bayfront Development Design Guidelines as they relate to this project. The table reflects the proposed
courtyard enclosure with existing conditions on the site without the construction of the meeting room
addition (approved in November 2001, extended to 2003), as well as the resulting changes with the
construction of the approved meeting room addition. In summary, the project requires the following
permits:
Amendment to conditional use permit:
■ to exceed the floor area ratio allowed in the C-4 zone (1.18 FAR proposed where 1.0 FAR is the
maximum allowed without a conditional use permit) (C.S. 25.41.025, �.
Conditional use pernut:
to vary from the lot coverage requirements of the Design Guidelines for Bayfront Development for
25.5% lot coverage where 25% is the maximum lot coverage allowed (23.6% existing, 25.5%
proposed, 25% maximum).

Staff Comments: See attached. Planning staff would note that approval of the glass roof for the courtyard
enclosure (atrium) does not include the previous action to expand the first floor at the meeting room
portion of the hotel. Planning Commission reviewed an extension to that action earlier in 2002 and if a
building permit for the project to expand the first floor is not received by the property owner before
November 26, 2003 the approval will expire.
January 27, 2003 Study Meeting: At the January 27, 2003 Planning Commission study meeting, the
Commission had no concerns with the proposal and placed this item on the consent calendar for the next
meeting.
Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Pertnit 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 hold a public hearing. Affirmative
action should be taken by resolution and should include findings for the conditional use permit amendment
and conditional use permit. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated. Please note that the
conditions below which are in italics are mitigation measures taken from the negative declaration, the
conditions of approval from the 101-room addition (approved by Planning Commission on May 27,1997),
conditions of approval from the controlled access to parking and valet parking (approved by Planning
Commission on April 12, 1999), and conditions of approval from the proposed first floor meeting room

Reference staff report, 11.26.01, with attachments. CP Monroe presented the report, reviewed
criteria and staff comments. Forty-one conditions were suggested for consideration.
Commissioners asked if there was a condition requiring compliance with NPDES drainage
requirements, including petroleum separators. Staff noted that condition 9 addressed this issue.
There were no other questions from the commission.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Paul Gumbinger, architect, and Peter Marshal, General
Manager of the Double Tree Hotel, represented the project. They noted that this is a request for
4,000 SF of ineeting space to allow the hotel to have a meeting in one room while setting up
luncheon for the attendees in another room, hotel needs it to compete in this tough market; when
preparing the detailed landscape plan requested counted 112 trees on the site, will remove 5 and
replace those with 6; when hotel was built the applicant paid the city $831,600 to build the parking
lot on the top deck at Bayside Park and pays an annual $27,000 license fee to maintain that lot, this
allows the hotel to use 127 of the parking spaces to supplement on site parking for the hotel; most of
the conditions attached are repeats, the protected catch basins were installed in the parking lot
originally; the hotel's airport shuttles are parked in the driveway close to the entrance and do not
occupy required parking spaces.
Commissioners asked: was parking on-site at the hotel a problem before the controls were installed
in 1999. General Manager responded it was hard to say, could not recall a time when they had an
0

on-site parking problem, if there was on,k it was rare, if we know we are going to have a large event
on site we use more valet parking. There were no further questions from the floor and the public
hearing was closed.
Commissioners comments: this is one property with a unique agreement with the city for• shared
parking; the location next to the city's landfill restricts their landscaping alternatives, favor request
because of the positive interaction.
C. Osterling noted that the addition is well designed and will fit in, he appreciated seeing,,the
accurate landscape drawings, trees are shown where they are, glad adding more than you are
removing, and incorporating the comments made by applicant and commission, moved approval by
resolution, of the negative declaration, conditional use permit, amendment to the conditional use
permit and parking variance with the following conditions: 1) that the project shall be built as shown
