City of Burlingame
Conditional Use Permit Amendment
Item # 3.e,
Consent Calendar
Address: 835 Airport Boulevard Meeting Date: 03/28/OS
Request: Conditional use permit amendment to operate a park and fly program from an existing hotel
(Doubletree Hotel).
Applicant: Bruce Carlton, Doubletree Hotel APN: 026-343-430 & 440
Property Owner: Today's III, Inc.
General Plan: Waterfront Commercial
Lot Area: 4.77 acres
Zoning: C-4
Adjacent Development: Offices, hotels, and a public recreational facility.
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 - Existing facilities, Class 1(a),
interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical
conveyances.
Current Use: 392-room hotel with meeting room facilities.
Proposed Use: park and fly program
Allowable Use: park and fly program requires amendment to conditional use permit.
Site History: On May 27,1997, the Planning Commission approved conditional use permits and parking
variances to allow the addition of 101 guest rooms to the Doubletree Hotel. The approval included parking
variances for 277 on-site parking spaces where 392 spaces are required, and for number of compact stalls
(56 compact spaces proposed, where 53 are allowed). At that time, the hotel entered into an agreement
with City of Burlingame for construction of a parking lot and use of 115 of the 216 parking spaces
originally planned on the adj acent public park site (former sanitary landfill). The 115 parking spaces were
to be used for employee parking and self-parked guests. Planning staff would note that field visits by the
applicant and staff verified that there are currently 230 parking spaces in the adjacent lot owned by the
City.
On April 12,1999, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for controlled access to the
parking on the hotel site which includes paid self-parking and valet parking.
On November 26, 2001, the Planning Commission approved a mitigated negative declaration, conditional
use permit to exceed 1.0 floor area ratio, conditional use permit amendment to vary from the parking area
landscaping requirements (9% proposed, 10% minimum required), and parking variance for 265 on-site
parking spaces where 392 spaces are required for a single-story meeting room space addition. On February
10, 2003, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit amendment to allow a 3,849 SF
courtyard enclosure. These additions were never built.
Summary: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit amendment to operate a park and fly
program at the Doubletree Hotel. Since 1997, there have been several applications processed for additions
to the hotel (see Site History above). One of the conditions of approval requires an amendment to the
conditional use permit for park and fly promotions. The applicant is now applying for a conditional use
permit amendment to allow for a park and fly program at the hotel. This application was submitted after a
complaint was filed with the City's Code Enforcement Officer.
The proposed program would work as follows: A hotel guest spends one night at the hotel and is able for
no additional fee to leave their vehicle for seven nights in the parking lot. The hotel guest is transported to
the airport by one of the hotels' shuttles. The applicant notes that based on their experience, there are
,�
_-•
.�
� •ti
Conditional Use Permit Amendment 835 Airport Boulevard
approximately 3.7 hotel guests using the park and fly program per night, or 26 park and fly vehicle parked
on-site per day (based on a 7-day period). He also indicates that the more hotel guests use the park and fly
program during holiday periods and anticipates that maximum to be 30 vehicles per day. The highlighted
parking spaces on the site plan, date stamped February 9, 2005, indicates the designated location in the
parking lot where park and fly vehicles will be parked. The parking lot on the adjacent public park site will
not be used for the park and fly program.
The applicant notes that for the months of January through November, 2004, the park and fly program
generated $115,800 in hotel revenue ($11,580 in transient occupancy tax). He also comments that 53% of
their hotel guests are airline crews (no cars at site) and 25% of other guests use the hotel shitttles (based on
a survey). At an occupancy of 82% in December, 2004, 31 % of the hotel parking lot was used by overnight
hotel guests.
The Doubletree Hotel is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and has a total of 63 full-time and part-time
employees between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and 23 full-time and part-time employees after 5 p.m. on weekdays
and weekends. No new additional employees are required for the park and fly program since it is operated
by existing hotel employees. In two to five years the number of employees is expected to increase by one
part-time employee. On weekdays, the applicant expects 375 customers/visitors before 5 p.m. and 420
after 5 p.m. Ori weekends, the applicant expects 350 customers/visitors before 5 p.m. and 400 after 5 p.m.
In two to five years, the applicant expects the number of visitors/customers to increase to 400 on weekdays
and 375 on weekends before 5 p.m., and 450 on weekdays and 425 on weekends after 5 p.m.. The
maximum number of people expected on the site at any one time is 443 (including employees and visitors).

Staff Comments: See attached.
Study Meeting: At the February 14, 2005, Planning Commission study meeting, the Commission asked
several questions about the proposed park and fly program (February 14, 2005, PC Minutes). Staff would
note that Commission Brownrigg was not able to attend the February 14, 2005, study meeting, but after
listening to the meeting tapes provided his comments with regard to this application in an email dated
February 22, 2005 (attached). The applicant submitted a letter, dated March 7, 2005, in response to the
Commissions' questions. The Commissions' questions and applicants' responses are summarized on the
following page.

, Conditional Use Permit Amendment 835 Airport Boulevard
1. Will there be signage in the parking area to designate the location for the park and fly patrons?
• The applicant notes that the hotel prefers not to add signage in the park and fly parking area. Such
signage can result in security risks. Several years ago when curbs were painted and noted as park
and fly, the hotel experienced break-ins to cars in the park and fly area. Thieves know that owners
of these vehicles will be away for a period of time and feel "safe" breaking into them.
2. What is the vacancy rate of parking on the hotel site; provide average vacancy count twice a day
(once atpeak time) for three to four days to make sure there are adequate parking spaces on-site for
proposed use.
In his written response, dated March 7, 2005, the applicant provided a parking vacancy count. The
count was conducted on February 23, 24, 25 (Wednesday through Friday) and 28 (Monday), at 9
a.m. and 6 p.m. Hotel occupancy rates on these days were 80%, 85%, 66% and 78%, respectively.
Based on these days, the average parking vacancy rate was 85 parking spaces at 9 a.m. and 89
parking spaces at 6 p.m.
3. Application says 30 cars maximum for the park and fly program, will that number grow in time?
• The applicant notes that as the hotel markets the "park and fly program", the number of cars could
grow. However, production from any promotion can be monitored. If the park and fly packages
become very successful and the existing parking was inadequate for hotel customers, the hotel
could limit the number of park and fly packages sold. Presently, this is not an issue at the hotel.
4. Should monitor program and if successful how will hotel make sure cars are kept out of upper lot?
Approval should be limited to two or three years.
The applicant notes that all park and fly vehicles will be kept at the hotel parking lot. Staff added a
condition requiring review of the park and fly program by the Planning Commission in three years.
The applicant notes that he has no issue with limiting the park and fly program to three years
during which time they can monitor the program.
5. 53% of customers are airline crew which use the shuttle to the hotel, can park and fly approval be
tied to the number or proportion of airline crew usage?
The applicant indicates they he hopes reliance on airline crew business will decrease. Historically,
the hotel has had a high airline crew mix of business and has not had parking issues. Therefore, he
would prefer that the conditional use permit amendment approval not be tied to a percentage of
airline crew business.

Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a conditional use permit amendment to operate
a park and fly program from an existing hotel, 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 adj oining
properties in the general vicinity.
Conditional Use Permit Amendment Findings: Based on the fact that the proposed park and fly program
will operate from an existing hotel by existing hotel employees, that 30 parking spaces will be provided on-
site to code requirements for the park and fly program, and that the park and fly program as proposed will
be limited to a maximum of 30 vehicles, the proposed use is found to be compatible with the required
findings for a conditional use permit.
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.
At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered. The conditions below incorporate all
of the conditions of previous approvals (Planning Commission, May 27, 1997, and Apri112, 1999) for the
Doubletree Hotel as well as proposed new conditions of approval. New conditions proposed are shown in
italics (see conditions 1 through 3).

any part of the adjacent public park site or in the Bay trail access parking area in front of the
shared parking Zot;
2. that any increase in the number of vehicles parked on site at one time because of the park and fly
program shall require an amendment to this conditional use permit;
3. that the park and fly program shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission in three years
(March, 2008); if at that time the applicant would like to continue to offer the park & fly program
from this hotel, an amendment to this conditional use permit shall be required;
4. that the controlled access parking plan shall be built and implemented as shown on the plans
submitted to the Planning Depariment and date stamped February 19, 1999, Sheet PK-1, and the

Dear Mr. Hurin:
DOUBLETREE�
HOTEL
SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT
Thank you for forwarding a summary of requested information from the Planning Commission. Listed
below, please find requested information:
1. At present, we prefer not to add signage in the park and fly parking zone. Per history, such
signage/demarcation can result in security risks... we experienced park and fly car break-ins several
years ago when curbs were painted and noted as "park and fl�'. Apparently, thieves know that these
individuals will be away from their cars for a period of time and feel "safe" breaking into them.
2. Parking lot vacancy survey was as follows:
Date 9:00 a.m. 6:00 .m. Hotel Occu anc
Februa 23, 2005 79 81 80%
Februa 24, 2005 82 98 85°/a
�ebrua 25, 2005 96 74 66%
Februar 28, 2005 81 101 78%
3. As the hotel markets a park and fly program, the number of cars could grow. However, production
from any promotion can be monitored... if park and fly packages were to become very successful and
existing parking was deemed inadequate, then we could easily limit the number of packages sold.
This is not an issue at present.
4. All park and fly cars will be kept in the hotel parking lot.
5. Applicant has no issue with an approval of two to three years during which time we can monitor any
issues.
6. Hopefully, our reliance on airline crew business will decrease. Historically, the hotel has had a high
airline crew mix of business and has not had parking issues. Applicant would prefer that any
amendment not be tied to a percentage of airline crew business which may not impact our ability to
continue providing park and fly packages.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or for further information.
Very truly,
��

Subject: RE: Feb 14 session
Dear Meg, Larry, colleagues:
I wanted to note for the record that I have completed teh Feb 14 tapes, from Ralph's
opening Valentines Day salute to Meg's closing comments on nesting habits driving hospital
landscaping, etc.
I am writing to everyone mostly to add a comment of my own on one of the Study Items. It
concerns the Doubletree park/fly request. When this issue is before us again, I will
comment that I think it is a good�thing to encourage this sort of activity. As a general
planning matter, it seems to me that our offsite airport parking lot enterprises are not
the long run best uses for Burlingame of their respective territories, all of which are in
prame bayfront areas. By promoting park/fly programs at our hotels, I believe we will
enhance the TOT revenue for Burlingame by giving hotels another incentive program; my own
father drives to a Millbrae hotel from Marin County precisely because of the park/fly
incentive. And if, by pushing some parking into hotel lots, this causes some competitive
pressures on the offsite lots, which thereby encourages owners to look at higher and
better uses for the land, I believe that is not a harmful outcome for Burlingame.
More generally, I was impressed once again by the breadth and professionalism of my
colleagues, as I listened to the tapes. I look forward to discussing these issues with
you all as and when they reappear on our agenda.
One final comment -- at the end, under planner reports, if Commissioners do not switch on
their mikes for their dialogue with Meg, they are entirely inaudible. FYI.
Best, Michael

Dear Planning Commissioners,
The Doubletree Hotel San Francisco Airport received a Conditional Use Permit Violation notice
dated November 24, 2004. The notice referenced the approved conditional use permit of
November, 2002, which states "that no portion of the required parking on site or on the landfill
shall be used for long term airport parking as part of a hotel promotion."
The project for that November, 2002, approval/conditional use was not enacted so we did not
carefully institute conditions noted; rather, during management change from 1999-2002, the Park-
n-Fly promotion was re-instituted. In early 2003, management discussions about Park-n-Fly
promotions led current management to believe that such a promotion was permissible due to the
business climate (recession, September 11th, etc.), our shared parking agreement with the city
and that no condition in the original conditional use document prohibits such promotion.
Year to date through November, 2004, Park-n-Fly packages have generated $115,800 in hotel
revenue ($11,580 in transient occupancy tax). For the period of January-October, 2000 vs. 2004,
total hotel revenue is decreased 51.6%; a Park-n-Fly promotion is important to our business,
saving jobs (elimination will reduce staff by 1-2 employees). Additionally, as 53% of our guests
are airline crew (no cars) and 25% of other guests use our shuttles (per survey), at current
occupancy of 82% our parking lot is only 31 % utilized by hotel overnight guests.
We believe that our parking situation is unique for a Burlingame hotel as, historically, our airline
crew business contribution is 30%-53%, meeting space is limited at 8,400 square feet and our
proximity to shared parking provides excellent "overtlow" should the need arise.
We respectfully request your positive consideration of our amendment to conditional use permit.
Sincerely,
Bruce Carlton

Thank you for your call of yesterday; 7 additional copies of the site plan are enclosed.
Additional information:
1. Areas of Park and Fly Parking are highlighted on the site plans.
2. All vehicles are parked on hotel site, not on Golf Center site. �
3. We would estimate 30 vehicles maximum at any one time on the Park and Fly Package. We
have never had this many at one time but estimate this as the maximum during holiday
periods.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional information as needed.

The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance (Code
Section 25.52.020). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in
making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request. Please type or write neatly
in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
1. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious to
proper.ty or irriprove�rzents ih the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or
convenienc�
The proposed amendment to our conditional use permit will not be
detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the viciriity
or to public health, safety, general welfare or convenience. The
hotel has�inadvertently been using a Park-n-Fly promotion with none of
the aforementioned impact. The promotion has generated $11,500 in
transient occupancy tax in 2004 and employed 1-2 employees at the
hotel. The hotel is unique in Burlingame due to historic high airline
crew use (no cars) from 30o in.2000 to 53o in 2004. Total hotel revenue
is reduced 51.6% vs. 2000. The property's meeting space square footage
per guestroom ratio is the lowest in the market (8,400 square feet
of ineeting space/388 guestroomsl. Shared parking agreement with Burlingame
provides excellent "overflow" if/when needed.
2. How will the proposed use. be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance?
The proposed amendment is within the guidelines of the general plan
and zoning ordinance but does impact the conditions of use. If
inadequate parkirig were to be forecasted to impact businesses in the
vicinity then we can quickly employ valet parkers provided by our
on site parking vendor, Unipark.
3. How will the proposed project be coinpatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of
the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity?
There will be no impact on aesthetics, mass, bulk or character of
the existing and potential uses af properties in the vicinity.

1. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious
to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or
conveni�nce.
How will the proposed shucture or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those properties? If neighboring
properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting, paving, landscaping sunlighdshade, views from neighboring
properties, ease of maintenance.
Why will the structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or general welfare?
Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater systems, water supply safety,
and thing which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., underground storage tanks, storage of chemicals, situations which encourage
the spread of rodents, insects or communicable diseases).
Public safetv. How will the stracture or use within the structure affect police or fire protection? Will alarm systems or sprinklers be
installed? Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need for police services (i.e., noise, unruly gatherings,
loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use of flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous activities like welding,
woodwork, engine removal).
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's policy and goals for conservation
and development? Is there a social benefit?
Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or parking for tlus site or adjacent
sites)? Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as the elderly or handicapped?
2. How will the p�oposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame
General Plan and Zoning Ordinancie?
Ask the Planning Department for the general plan designation and zoning district for the proposed proj ect site. Also, ask for an explanation
of each. Once you have this information, you can compare your proposal with the stated designated use and zoning, then explain why this
proposal would fit accordingly.
3. How will the proposed p�oject be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character
. of the existing and potential uses on adjoi�ing prop�ties in the general vicinity?
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhood? If it does not affect aesthetics, state why. If
changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match existing architecture, pattern of development on adjacent
properties in the neighborhood? If a use will affect the way a neighborhood or area looks, such as a long term airport parking lot, compare
your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it fits. .
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change to the structure, say so.
If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation, etc. with other structures in the neighborhood or area.
How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image or tone
established by size, density of development and general pattern of land use. Will there be more traffic or less parking available resulting
from this use? If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare your project with existing
uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity, and/or state why your project would be consistent with
potential uses in the vicinity.

to minimize the impacts on the existing Doubletree Hotel facilities, the Red Roof Inn and
Red Rock Cafe;
41. that the hotel addition shall be built so that the interior noise level in all rooms does not
exceed 45 dBa; and �
42. that in the event that any prehistoric or historic subsurface cultural resources are discovered
during construction-related earthmoving activities, all work within 100 feet of the resources
shall be halted and the project applicant shall consult with a qualified archaeologist to assess
the significance of the find. If any find were determined to be significant by the qualified
archaeologist, then representatives of the project applicant, the City, and the qualified
archaeologist would meet to deternune the appropriate course of action. If the discovery
includes human remains, Section VIII of CEQA Guidelines Appendix K would be followed,
requiring coordination with the Native American Heritage Commission if the huxnan
remains are of Native American origin. All significant cultural materials recovered would
be subject to scientific analysis, professional museum curation, and a report prepared by a
qualified archaeologist according to current professional standards.
