ITEMS FOR ACTION
1. RECOMPdENDATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IP4PACT REPORT EIR-57P FOR THE PROPOSED 350 ROOM
GRANADA ROYALE HOMETEL PROJECT AT 150 ANZA BOULEVARD
CP Monroe referred to the Response to Comments document for Draft EIR-57P and Planning
Commission Resolution No. 8-82 with Findings recommending the Final E1R to Council for
review and action. Reference staff report for this item with attached resolution and
�X,iiui� r"�� °iiyiii�lCdii� C`�cCt'�,5� iiitlCJd�lOiiS and Findirgs.
CP Monroe and Commission discussed the effect of using underground parking to reduce the
FAR; clarified that Response to Comments to EIR-57P calls for an improvement to the
existing sewer system by the city, not an expansion to the system; reducing the height
of the hotel by one floor and/or eliminating the parking structure would eliminate the
need for a Special Permit to exceed 1.0 FAR and would reduce view obstructions; Chm.
Mink noted that Item �9 of Exhibit A"Significant Effects" should be changed to read
"increase in jobs would result in increased need for housing in San Mateo County."
The Commission acknowledged John P.aiser who wished to speak on this i�em. He noted
that this project will reduce or eliminate views from adjacent build-ings and wanted this
point more emphatically stated; SeaBreeze office building views of the bay will be
eliminated. Chm. Mink acknowledged that the F�nal EIR doe� identify and discuss the
impacts on views from adjacent structures.
C. Giomi moved to recommend that.Planning Commission Resolution No. 8-82 be approved
and EIR-57P be forwarded to the City Council. Second by C. Harvey; motion approved
7-0 on roll call vote.

header and 4'-4" rise for the 4/12 roof slope}; existing carport next to the present
garage should be removed if the application is approved; proposed roof line is
compatible with other nearby structures; a hip roof would reduce the visual impact
from the street. "

(1) that overall height shall not exceed 15'-0", (2) the plate line shall not exceE,d
10'-8", (3) the maximum area of the garage shall not exceed 741 SF, (4) that the
conditions of the Chief Building Inspector's memo of November 3, 1982 be met; and (5)
that the existing carport in the side yard be removed.. Second by C. Graham; motion
approved unanimously on roll call vote. Appeal procedures were advised.

Item #2
MEMO T0: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: CITY PLA�INER
SUBJECT: SPECIAL PERMIT FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT 2614 SUMMIT DRIVE
The applicant, Charles Mahnken, is requesting a special permit to build a 119 SF
recreational structure (maximum 50 SF) and a 71 SF cabana (all cabanas require a
special permit) at the rear of his property adjacent to his swimming pool. The 119 SF
recreational structure will contain a bathroom, shower, wet bar and closet (5' x 2.5').
The facilities are cont�ined in two free-standing structures connected by a breezeway
for a total length of 24'-6". The new structures are adjacent to an existing pool
equipment house (10'-6" x 5'). The open lattice cabana is 71 SF and located on the
other side of the pool. Posts to support the cabana were placed in the retaining
wall when it was poured. The request is for roofing over the area to provide shade.
The application has been reviewed by city staff. All had no comment (Chief Building
Inspector, November 3, 1982; Fire Marshal, October 25, 1982; City Engineer, October 29,
1982).
The applicant submitted a letter (October 13, 1982) in support of the project. He
points out the distance and number of stairs separating the house from the pool area,
the advantages of having a toilet and shower elose to the pool, the availability of
utility service close to the proposed structure and a willingness to comply with all
codes. A letter in support was also submitted from Mr. and Mrs. John Moran (November 6,
1982).
At study the Commission raised some questions regarding the project (minutes November 8,
1982). The site plan date stamped November 12, 1982 shows roof drainage from the new
structures to be in the direction of the side yard (and adjacent canyon). The proposed
pool house is ±52' from the neighbor's house, which is the only structure on the
neighbor's property. (A graphic dated November 12, 1982 is attached in the packet.)
In review of this project Planning staff notes that it would be extremely difficult to
convert the pool house facilities into an additional living unit. The cabana's open
lattice roof would preclude its use for living area; and its separation from the
bathroom facilities would make it a poor candidate for conversion to living space.
Staff recommends approval of this project. Planning Commission should hold a public
hearing prior to action. The following condition should be considered:
l. that all structures conform to the UBC as amended by the City of
Burlingame.
