Home My WebLink About835 Airport Blvd - Staff Report 7.13.2009�- �� City of Burlingame Conditional Use Permit Amendment Address: 835 Airport Boulevard Item No. Regular Action Meeting Date: July 13, 2009 Request: Amendment to Conditional Use Permit for changes to controlled access to parking and for an existing park-and-fly program at an existing hotel. Applicant: Jim Ensign, Doubletree Hotel APN: 026-343-440 Property Owner: Today's III, Inc. Lot Area: 4.77 Acres General Plan: WaterFront Commercial Zoning: AA Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental QualityAct (CEQA), perArticle 19, Section: 15301 - Existing facilities, Class 1, minoralterations to an existing hotel facility involving negligible expansion of use. Current Use: 392-room hotel with meeting room facilities with park-and-fly program. Proposed Use: changes to existing 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 adjacent 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 November26, 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. On March 28, 2005, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use PermitAmendmentforthe operation of a park-and-fly program from the hotel. The park-and-fly program has been in operation since that time. Project Description: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to change the existing managed self-parking (valet) operation that is maintained by an outside company to an automated (in-house) self-parking operation that will be overseen by the Doubletree staff. The number of parking spaces on-site and the current configuration of the parking lot, including the gated entrances and exits, will remain as is. There will no longer be an outside employee managing the pay booths at the entrances and exits from the parking lot. A new, automated "pay on foot station" will be placed in the hotel lobby and two automated credit card pay stations will be placed at each of the finro gates on site. The applicant is also asking to continue the operation of their existing park-and-fly program at the Doubletree Hotel. The previous approval for the park-and-fly program required review by the Planning Commission three years from the original approval date (March 28, 2008). The existing park-and-fly program works 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 approximately 3.7 hotel guests using the park and fly program per night, or 26 park and flyvehicle parked on-site Conditional Use Permit Amendment 835 Airport Blvd 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, indicate the designated location in the parking lot where park and fly vehicles are parked. The parking lot on the adjacent public park site will not be used for the park and fly program. Lastly, the applicant notes that the park-and-fly program generates approximately $281,185 in revenue for the hotel on an annual basis. The Doubletree Hotel is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and has a total of 64 full-time and part-time employees befinreen 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and 25 full-time and part-time employees after 5 p.m. on weekdays and weekends. No new additional employees are required for the automated parking operation or the park and fly program since it is operated by existing hotel employees. In two to five years the number of employees is not expected to increase. On weekdays, the applicant expects 375 customers/visitors before 5 p.m. and 420 after 5 p.m. On 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). The applicant is requesting the following application: ■ Amendment to Conditional Use Permit for changes to controlled access to parking and for an existing park-and-fly program at an existing hotel (C.S. 25.47.025 e). 835 Airport Blvd Lot Area: 4.77 Acres Plan date stam ed: June 4, 2009 I EXISTING PROPOSED ; ALLOWED/REQUIRED Use: Parking: 265 ' Conditional Use Permit Amendment for park-and-fly program.

Our current operation does not provide for 24 hour parking booth coverage. Consequendy our front gate remains in a raised position during evening hours through 6:00 a.m. the following morning. Continual coverage is cost prohibitive based on sales voluxne. Automated parking will allow £or a greater degree of security, as front and rear gates will be left in a lowered position with the exception of vehicles entering or departing to and from the premises. Znfrastructure remains the same other than. the addition of one "pap on foot station" in the Lobbp and a credit card pap station at each of our two gates.

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 ofi 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% Februar 25, 2005 96 74 66% Februa 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. Honefully, our reliance on airline crew business will decrease. Hisforicall_y, 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.
