SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 1128 CHIILA
SUBJECT: �ISTA AVENITE FROM C-1 BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA TO R-3 MEDIUM
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council take action on the proposed ordinance to rezone 1128 Chula
Vista from C-1 to R-3. A public hearing is not required since one was
held at the first reading. Action would be a motion to adopt the
ordinance. This can be done on the consent calendar since the public
hearing has been completed.
Plannin Commission Action
At their meeting on June 13, 1994 the Planning Commission held a public
hearing and voted to recommend the rezoning of the parcel at 1128 Chula
Vista from C-1 Broadway Commercial Area to R-3. Finding that the
rezoning and the use is consistent the intent of the general plan and
zoning ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Paul.Gumbinger, architect, representing Boreal/Poplar Developments, is
requesting to build a four unit residential condominium project at 1128
Chula Vista Avenue. At the City Council meeting on July 5, 1994 the
Council held a public hearing and voted 5- 0 to accept a negative
declaration, grant a General Plan amendment changing the land use
designation from service and sales retail to medium high density
residential, approve a residential condominium permit, and approve a
tentative map for the proposed project. At that same meeting the City
Council held a public hearing and introduced an ordinance to change the
zoning on the parcel to R-3 residential to match the new general plan
land use designation. The action adopting the zoning ordinance is the
final step in the approvals required for this project.
State Planning law requires that the land use designation in the
general plan and the implementing zoning be consistent. This rezoning
would comply with that legal requirement. In taking this action the
Council would be finding that rezoning of a single lot, immediately
adjacent, will not change the intent of the commercial land use policy
for the Broadway Center and it will not interfere with the existing
circulation patterns or access to consumer goods and services. The
proposed residential condominium will not increa-sing parking impacts
along Broadway because the project provides its own parking on site to

required code dimensions. Moreovsr, the medium high density land use
designation and R-3 zoning which supports it are consistent with the
general plan guidelines and helps to maintain the buffer zone between
the commercial uses and the lower density residential areas to the
south of the block zoned R-3.

ACTION ALTERNATIVES
1. City Council may vote in favor of an applicant's request. If the
action is a variance, use permit, hillside area construction
permit, fence exception or sign exception, the Council must make
the findings as required by the code. Findings must be particular
to the given property and request. Actions on use permits should
be by resolution. A majority of the council members seated during
the public hearing must agree in order to pass an affirmative
motion.
2. City Council may deny an applicant's request. The reasons for
denial should be clearly stated for the record.
3. City Council may deny a request without prejudice. This action
should be used when the application made to the City council is
not the same as that heard by the Planning Commission; when a
Planning Commission action has been justifiably, with clear
direction, denied without prejudice; or when the proposed project
raises questions or issues on which the Council would like
additional information or additional design work before acting on
a project. Direction about additional information required to be
given to staff, applicant and Planning Commission should be made
very clear. Council should also direct whether any subsequent
hearing should be before the Council or the Planning Commission.
FINDINGS FOR A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FINDINGS
Prior to acting on a project the (Planning Commission/City Council)
must approve the Negative Declaration, finding that on the basis of the
Initial Study and any comments received there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant (negative) effect on
the environment.
CRITERIA FOR PERMITTING A RESIDENTIAI, CONDOMINIUM
The criteria for permitting a residential condominium are based on
three City council actions: P.C. Resolution 7-79 addressing open space
requirements, P.C. Resolution 5-80 with findings addressing development
standards, and Ordinance 1015 establishing condominium subdivision
regulations. The intent of these actions are outlined as follows:
a) a new condominium project shall conform to all applicable zoning
regulations and General Plan densities;
b) review of a condominium shall include its effect on sound
community planning, the economic, ecological, social and aesthetic
qualities of the community and public health, safety and welfare,
including but not limited to the impact on: schools, parks,
public utilities, neighborhoods, streets, traffic parking and
other community facilities and resources; and
c) the condominium project shall have a legal tentative map filed
with the City engineer prior to approval.

Hillside, and�Patricia Gray, 1616 Adeline, all spoke in oppos,ition to
this applicatiqn and expressed conoern for the cleaning busi:ness already
present in this�strip center. They also expressed concern-for the impact
on traffic and.problems with the bus stop at that corner and the children
en route from scli'oo1. Gregory Tancer, 1512 Highway:-Road repeated the
viewpoint stated in his letter that was presented%to the commission
earlier in the even.ing. Ms. Terrell, owner of" the Adeline Center
expressed her concern\'that this would be too close to the already present
dry cleaner arid the pr�oblems with the monitoring well, she had been
advised not to buy the parcel until it is c,leaned up. She presented a
petition to the commission�containing 97 signatures all in opposition to
the application. Ms. Terrel�l added that the cleaner currently located in
the center has an average o�f 35 to 45;,customers on Saturdays, weekday
traffic consists .of about 25\ people.`` There was speculation that any
business could go into the building`when it is complete. CA Coleman
clarified every business has to�get a special• permi�_appro.ved by the
Planning Commission. Mr. Vasque.�z and Mr. Matthews respo'nded to the
comments stating they would not ob���ect to additional conditions adding a
bus bench and a refuse box that they`�,ould maintain. There were no other
comments and the public hearing was closed.
\\ ,
C. Jacobs was unable to find any exceptional circumstances applicable to
this request, the traffi`c generation/customer figures were not realistic,
the traffic impact would be too great, the�visibility is.high and it does
not fit in a resident"ial neighborhood. The�'granting of this application
would not be beneficial to the vicinity, s�,e then moved to deny this
special permit and parking variance application.
In comment on.the motion �the earlier rezoning ��as

CONDOMINI UM PERMIT
Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Condominium
Permit and Tentative Map for a 4 unit residential condominium.
Address: 1128 Chula Vista Avenue Meeting Date: 6-13-94
Request:Negative Declaration (ND 471-P), General Plan Amendment to
land use (C.S. 25.04.080), Rezoning from C-1 to R-3 (C.S. 25.04.080
and 25.16.020), Condominium Permit (C.S 26.30) and Tentative Map
(C.S. 26.08.020) for a four unit residential condominium project at
1128 Chula Vista Avenue, zoned C-1.
Applicant: Paul Gumbinger, Gumbinger and Associates
Property Owner: Borel/Poplar Developments APN: 026-191-190
Lot Dimensions and Area: 50' X 115' = 5750 SF
General Plan:Commercial, Shopping and Service Zoning: C-1
Adjacent Development: Commercial uses to the left of the subject
property and residential uses to the right of the property.
CEQA Status: See Initial Study and Negative Declaration
Backqround•
In December of 1993 a mixed use development project, consisting of 5
condominium units with retail commercial use on the first floor and
a portion of the second floor, was denied without prejudice by the
Planning Commission. The project included variances for lot coverage
and parking maneuvers and two exceptions to the condominium criteria
in the form of inadequate front yard landscaping and substandard
common open space square footage. The denial without prejudice was
upheld by the City Council and the applicant was instructed that a
redesign may be resubmitted to the Planning Commission within three
months. The applicant resubmitted the present project on March 23,
1994 which was three months after the Council action.
Current Project:
The new proposal includes the following elements and requests:
negative declaration, general plan amendment, rezoning the property
from its existing C-1, first commercial district (retail commercial)
designation to an R-3, third residential district (multiple family
dwellings) designation, Condominium Permit and Tentative Map. No
variances or special permits are being requested with this submittal.
The negative declaration, condominium permit and tentative map is for
a three story, 4 unit residential condominium project with 8 parking
spaces at grade. The condominiums range in size from 1,193 SF to
1,301 SF and consist of parking on the ground floor; kitchen,
living/dining area, deck and half bath on the second floor; and two
bedrooms and two baths on the third floor.
The condominium project meets all of the condominium criteria by
providing 76 SF of private open space per unit where 75 SF is the
1

CONDO.,GEN.PLAN AMENDMENT,REZONE 1128 CAULA VISTA AVE.
maximum required and 750 SF of common open space where 400 SF is the
maximum required. Sixty-two percent of the front yard is landscaped
where 60% is required. One hundred percent of this area is in soft
landscaping where 50% is required. The building is 32'-0" tall from
average top of curb where 35'-0" is the maximum allowable. A total of
8 parking spaces are provided, two as visitor/guest spaces, and 8 are
required.
Exhibit 1(attached) shows the property at 1128 Chula Vista Ave. as
the last commercially zoned parcel along Chula Vista Avenue. The
applicant would like to rezone 1128 to R-3, the same as the adjacent
developed property, 1124 Chula Vista. The lot at 1124 Chula Vista
Avenue is developed with a 4 unit apartment building. The rest of
the block of Chula Vista, to the south, is also developed in multiple
family uses.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
general plan, land use map and zoning must be consistent. In this
case the medium density land use designation must be extended one lot
to the north on the east side of the street (see Exhibit 2). The
land use element does not need to be amended because the proposed
change is a single lot in a transitional location. Excerpts from the
general plan land use goals and objectives, as well as, the
commercial and multiple family residential portions of the element
support this conclusion.
The medium high density portion of the residential land use element
calls for two to three story apartment buildings. This project is
compatible with those guidelines and helps to maintain the buffer
zone between the commercial uses and the lower density residential
areas.
The change in use is consistent with the commercial land use element.
The rezoning of a single lot will not change the intent of the
commercial land use element in the Broadway Avenue area and will not
interfere with existing circulation patterns or access to consumer
goods and services. The proposed residential condominium will not
increase parking impact along Broadway because it provides its own
parking on site to required code dimensions.

Staff Comments•
The Chief Building Official had no comments. The Fire Marshall
comments in his March 28, 1994 memo that the building must be
equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system and the sprinklers
must be monitored by an approved central monitoring station.
The Park Director comments in his April 14, 1994 memo that the
project will be required to meet all provisions of the reforestation
ordinance at the building permit stage.
NOTE: Previously the Planning Commission had asked for an arborist
report on the Walnut Tree, located in the city planter strip, for the
previously proposed mixed use project. The Park Director notes, in
his April 14, 1994, comments that arborist reports are helpful for
private trees that are impacted by development. However, trees in
the City right-of-way are handled by the Park Department and,
therefore, will be addresses at the time the construction documents
are submitted. The Park Director also stated that the Walnut tree is
not a particularly valuable specimen.
The Associate Civil Engineer has several comments in his April 19,
1994 memo (attached) which will need to be addressed prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
Study Meetina•
At the May 23, 1994 Planning Commission meeting the Planning
Commission had several questions (P.C. Minutes, 5/23/94). The
applicant states, in his May 27, 1994 response letter, that 1 parking
space will be assigned to each unit and the rest will remain
unassigned.
The Park Director stated that Walnut trees are relatively short lived
and are more affected by draught conditions compared to Elms, Oaks or
Redwoods. The Walnut tree at the 1128 Chula Vista location is a
mature tree and will only last another 5 to 10 years where a mature
oak could last another 30 to 40 years. He stated that it would not
be wise to alter or stop a project from being built in light of these
facts, especially since it is a.city street tree and the city has
been regularly removing Walnut trees from planter strips.

CONDO.,GEN.PLAN AMENDMENT,REZONE II28 CHDLA VISTA AVE.
The portion of State Planning law addressing zoning (Government Code
Section 65860) requires that city zoning ordinances be consistent
with city general plans. As a part of Burlingame achieving
consistency between zoning and the general plan in 1984, the city
identified the C-1 district as implementing the retail and service
commercial land use designation and R-3 implementing the medium high
density residential uses. While the C-1 zone allows development to
R-3 standards in Burlingame, the C-1 district requires a use permit
to develop residential only uses and allows commercial development
which is not allowed in the medium high density land use designation.
As a result, the C-1 district promises uses that the land use
designation would not allow and misleads the property owner about the
city's policy regarding the future development of his property. If
commission wishes they could determine that C-1 zoning officially
implements the medium high density land use designation. If this is
done then a rezoning is not necessary in this case. (See Planners
memo May 25, 1994).
The proposed four unit residential condominium is compatible with the
uses across the street because it is screened from view by the trees
and deepens the buffer area between the commercial uses and the lower
density residential uses to the south, The applicant states in his
response letter that the proposed multifamily residential project has
less physical impact on the area than a permitted commercial
structure which could reach 35'-0” in height without any setbacks.
Findings for a Negative Declaration: Following the public hearing the
Planning Commission should act first on the Negative Declaration, ND
471-P, 1128 Chula Vista Ave. Prior to acting on a project the
Planning Commission must approve the Negative Declaration finding
that on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received that
there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment.
Findings for a General Plan Amendment: In acting on the request for
a general plan amendment for the rezoning of 1128 Chula Vista the
Planning Commissioners should state the reasons why they feel such
action is appropriate to change the land use from shopping and
commercial service to medium high density residential. The
Commissioners must state why the changes are consistent with the
General Plan and in particular the Land Use Element of the General
Plan.
Findings for a Rezoning: In acting on the request to rezone the
property at 1128 Chula Vista from C-1 to R-3, the Planning Commission
should state the reasons why they feel sueh action is appropriate and
consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinance. Code section
25.04.010 states that the zoning ordinance was established for the
following purposes; to promote public health, safety and welfare;
preserve a wholesome serviceable and attractive community which
increase the safety and security of home life; promote a harmonious
character and economy among property, building construction and civic

services; establish regulations to limit the location, uses, height,
bulk, occupancy, lot coverage, street setback, yard sizes and
occupancy of building structures and land; encourage remodeling of
existing residential structures; preserve residential neighborhood
character of single family structures and accessory structures and
provide the best general civic use to protect the common rights and
interests of all.
Criteria for Permitting a Residential Condominium: Following the
public hearing the Planning Commission should act fourth on the
Condominium Criteria. The criteria for permitting a residential
condominium are based on three City Council actions: P.C. Resolution
7-79 addressing open space requirements, P.C. Resolution 5-80 with
findings addressing development standards, and Ord.1015 establishing
condominium subdivision regulations. The intent of these actions is
outlined as follows:
a) a new condominium project shall conform to all applicable zoning
regulations and General Plan densities;
b) review of a condominium project shall include its effect on
sound community planning; the economic, ecological, social and
aesthetic qualities of the community, and public health safety
and welfare; including but not limited to impact on schools,
parks, public utilities, neighborhoods, streets, traffic,
parking, and other community facilities and resources; and
c) the condominium project shall have a legal Tentative Map filed
with the City Engineer prior to approval.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a
public hearing. All requests may be addressed in a single public
hearing including the tentative map. The negative declaration,
general plan amendment and rezoning actions are recommendations to
City Council. Affirmative action on the condominium permit should be
taken by resolution. The tentative map is also a recommendation to
City Council. If the Commissioners wish you may act on the negative
declaration, general plan amendment, rezoning and residential
condominium permit at one time. The reasons for each action should
be clearly stated for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
Conditions:
1) that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted
to the Planning Department and date stamped March 23, 1994,
Sheets SD1 and SD2 and Tentative Map dated April 15, 1994;
2) that the conditions set forth in the City Engineer's memo dated
April 19, 1994, the Fire Marshal's memo dated March 28, 1994,

NEGATIVE DECLARATION
File No. ND- 471 P, 1128 Chula Vista Avenue
The City of Burlingame by Maraaret Monroe on April 18, 1994,
completed a review of the proposed project and determined that:
(XX) It will not have a significant effect on the environment
(XX) No Environmental Impact Report is required.
Project Description•
The proposed three story, four unit multiple family residential
project requires a General Plan Amendment for the rezoning of a
single parcel from the existing commercial, C-1 zoning designation
to the neighboring multifamily, R-3 zoning designation. The
condominium consists of parking on the ground floor for eight
vehicles to correct code dimensions; kitchen., living/dining room,
deck and balcony on the second floor and two bedrooms and two
bathrooms on the third floor. The project meets all of the
landscaping and open space requirements as provided in Chapter 26
Condominium Subdivisions.of the Municipal Code.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
general plan, land use map and zoning must be consistent. In this
case the medium high density land use designation must be extended
one lot to the north on the east side of the street. The land use
element does not need to be amended because the proposed change is
a single lot and in a transitional location. Change in use is
consistent with.current policies of the land use element.
Reasons for Conclusion:
This development, as proposed with a rezoning request, is in-fill
development consistent with the intended land use and zoning of the
area and does not present any danger to human health, established
aesthetics, recreation or cultural resources.
This proposal will not create any hazardous effects on the existing
neighborhood or surrounding environment. As proposed this project
will be adequately served and will not negatively impact the
existing water, sewer or electrical facilities already in place or
present any need to alter existing public services or traffic
circulation.
The proposed three story, four unit condominium project at 1128
Chula Vista Avenue will not negatively impact the envir`onment as
proposed. Because the property has been developed for many years
as a single family dwelling (the lot is now vacant) there will be
no impacts on the native plant life.
The attached initial study includes reasons supporting the findings
that, based on the initial study, there is no substantial evidence
that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.

Dear Ms. Monroe:
The following is in response to questions regarding the project raised by
various Planning Commission members during the study portion of the
meeting of May 23, 1994.
1. ASSIGNMENT OF PARKING SPACES
Each unit will be assigned one (1) parking space. The remaining spaces
will be unassigned.
2. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT
In our professional opinion as architects and urban planners, the
proposed project fits well into the neighborhood context. It provides a
transition frorn the commercial to the resider,tial and is shielded by
the large street trees from the one story commercial building across
the sfreet.
The proposed project has less visual impact than a 35ft. high
commercial building that could be built to the front property line.
Being a residential project, it also has less impact on the need for street
parking during business hours.

MEMO
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: 5/31/94
FROM: CITY PLANNER � Q� rV� �,.
SUBJECT: REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR
RESIDENTIAL IISE FOR PROPERTY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA,
AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.
At the Planning Commission Study meeting on May 23, 1994 the Commissioners
asked that if the C-1 district allows residential development as a
conditional use, why is a rezoning to R-3 necessary for this proposed 4
unit residential project?
The properties zoned commercial (C-1) along Broadway and on the cross
streets between El.Camino Real and California Drive have been designated in
both the General Plan and zoning ordinance as a special commercial area.
In the General Plan the area is called the Broadway Center. In the zoning
ordinance the area is called the Broadway Commercial Area. In both cases
the two areas include the same properties.
In the Land Use Element of the General Plan the uses in the Broadway Center
area are specifically called out and described. (General Plan page 12).
There is no mention of residential uses or of a policy to promote
residential uses within this sub-planning area. In 1984 the Broadway
Center was called out as the Broadway Commercial Area for specific zoning
regulation. At that time the definition of the area was mapped and defined
as being all the properties zoned c-1 fronting on Broadway and the side
streets intersecting Broadway; 1128 Chula Vista was clearly one of these
properties. (See map of Broadway Commercial Area).
The present C-1 zoning district allows, as a conditional use, residential
� uses, either as the sole use of a property or as a mixed use with
commercial. The issue with the proposed 4 unit residential condominium at
1128 Chula Vista is not that the C-1 zoning will not allow a multiple
family residential development in the C-1 zone. Rather the issue is one of
consistency of zoning with the General Plan i.e. the zoning allows
residential uses and the General Plan does not.
The California Planning Law Government Code 65300.5, states that the
General Plan (land use map and elements) must be internally consistent.
This means that the map cannot say one thing in terms of land use and the
land use element say something else. In the case of our current plan, the
General Plan Map shows the Broadway Center as shopping and service
commercial use. The designation appears to be coterminous with the area
zoned C-1 on and adjacent to Broadway. The land use element description
discusses commercial uses exclusively; there is no reference or discussion
of maintaining or bringing residential units into the commercial area.

REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL IISE FOR
PROPERmY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.

Section 65800 of the Government Code notes: "It is the purpose of this
chapter to provide for the adoption and administration of zoning laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations by counties and cities, as well as to
implement such general plan as may be in effect in any such county or
city". Section 65860 (a), goes on to state in part: "County or city
zoning ordinances shall be consistent with the general plan of the county
or city by January,i 1974.
The State code then addresses inconsistency and how to bring
inconsistencies into compliance in section 65862:
When inconsistency between the general plan and zoning arises as a
result of adoption of or amendment to a general plan,... hearings
held...for the purpose of bringing zoning into consistency with the
general plan,...may be held at the same time as hearings held for the
purpose of adopting or amending a general plan, or any element
thereof....It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this
section, that local agencies shall, to the extent possible,
concurrently process applications for general plan amendments and
zoning changes which are needed to permit development so as to
expedite processing of such applications."
To comply with the direction of consistency between the zoning and the
general plan, the Burlingame zoning ordinance was amended in 1982 with
Section 25.04.080 which states in part:
Approval of a zoning, rezoning, variance or use permit pursuant to
this title shall be based on a finding that the approval is consistent
with the general p1an...Applications for a zoning, rezoning, variance
or use permit shall be denied if found to be inconsistent with the
general plan....
Further, in 1984, motivated by the change in the state planning law
requiring consistency betweeri the General Plan land use designations and
the zoning, staff did a comparative study of the land use designations and
zoning. For this study, which resulted in a series of general plan
amendments and rezonings, the following zones were determined to correspond
to the following land use designations:

As a result when the property owner of 1128 Chula
requested to place a multiple family residential
any commercial use, staff looked at the following
a. The general plan designated shopping and
with
C-1) .
Vista Avenue came in and
use on the site, without
factors:
service use (consistent
b. The site is zoned C-1.
c. The designation of the Broadway Center in the general plan did not
mention residential uses within the area as a development objective or
policy.
d. Although at the. edge of the Broadway Center area, there was no
dispute that this property was included in the Broadway Center.
e. The proposed project is clearly a use consistent with the general
plan land use designation medium high residential and R-3 zoning; both of
which_are immediately adjacent to the site on the south.
On the basis of these facts, and the fact that the State planning law
clearly directs consistency between the General Plan and zoning, staff
proposed that the applicant apply for a general plan amendment and rezoning
along with the use permit for the 4 unit residential condominium.
* Keeping the C-1 Zoning Designat�on
Since the C-1 zoning District.does allow multiple family residential uses
as a conditional use, the Planning Commission could determine that the C-1
district could be used to implement the medium high density residential
land use designation. If this were done, the determination would apply to
all areas designated medium high density residential in the General Plan.
It would mean that while this applicant does need a general plan amendment
for this project he would not need a rezoning. It would also mean that
while the applicant's zoning would allow commercial uses at this site, the
general plan would not. In other words if he wanted to build a commercial
use or mixed commercial residential use in the future, he would have to
amend the general plan again. In the end, retaining the C-1 zoning is not
givirig future users of this property the clearest message about City policy
regarding this site and could lead to just the kind of misunderstanding
that the legislature was trying to avoid with the consistency requirement.

REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL USE FOR
C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.
If from this discussion it appears that the land use pol�icy for the
Broadway Center is not accurate, and if, in fact, to vitalize the area
residential uses within tYie area should be encouraged, then the Commission
should look at changing the text of the General Plan.. If the text stated
that residential uses were appropriate to accomplish the commercial goals
of the area, then the C-1 district is perfect for implementation and no
general plan amendments or rezonings are necessary for this proposed
project.
If the Commission should wish to pursue this alternative it cannot be done
at the June 13, 1994 meeting addressing 1128 Chula Vista because the public
notice did not include changing the land use policy for the entire Broadway
Center. However, the item could be placed on a later agenda for
consideration.
Given all the above considerations and the fact that the applicant is
interested in just the one property, it seemed prudent to ask for the
rezoning to R-3 as well as extending the medium high density residential
designation one lot to the north. Whichever way the determination.on the
appropriate implementing zoning goes, the decision on the general plan is
permanent. If the general plan land use designation is changed to medium
high,density residential then commercial uses will not be allowed on the
property at 1128 Chula Vista in the future. The City Attorney did note
that all of these requested actions - negative declaration, general plan
amendment, rezoning and use permit for condominiums - could be acted upon
in a single motion. By this method if the residential project is not
acceptable then its denial will include denial of the negative declaration,
general plan amendment, and rezoning.

Commercial Uses
. Three complexes of commercial uses are included in this plan: the Burlingame
Plaza Area, the Broadway center, and the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center.
In these centers of commercial activity three general categories of commercial
uses are shown on the plan diagram: Shopping and Service, Service and Special
Sales, and Office Use. In addition to the commercial uses in these three
centers of activity an additional category of commercial use, Waterfront-
Commercial, is indicated along most of the waterfront area.
Burlinqame Plaza Area. This area includes outlets providing convenience
goods and consumer services to local residents and workers; the Peninsula
Hospital and medical offices; and.other professional-edministrative offices.
No changes are recommended in the pattern of uses presently established.
The visual quality of the shopping center should .be.improved and the
parking area serving the shopping center needs redesign and tree planting
to improve functional efficiency and appearance.
Broadway Center. Outlets in this center now provide convenience goods y\` "'
and consumer services for residents in the general vicinity. Although -
many of the businesses here ai-e well established and apparently successful
enterprises, better circulation, more parking, and better urban design
would enhance this center. Separation of vehicular and pedestrian
circulation and reduction of through-traffic an Broadway is needed.
Recommendations for improving the traffic curculation patfern are
presented in the Circulation Element. These include a grade separation
for the raiiroad tracks and improvement of the Broadway-Bayshore Freeway
interchange to relieve traffic conaestion at that point. Consideration
should be given to creating a pedestrian precinct on Broadway in the
section between Laguna Av,enue and Capuchino Avenue. Additional off-street
parking should be provided to the rear of present business outlets
f ronting on Broadway with access to such lots from the neU� streets
indicated on the plan diagram. An urban design plan should be developed
- for this center to provide more detailed guidance for future changes.
Burlinqan•e Avenue-Park Road Center. This center includes outlets providing
a wide range of consumer goods and services for Burlingame residents
and residents of adjoining communities. It also includes business service
establishments, business and proTessional offices, civic buildings, and
some resic;ential uses. The following organization of uses with;n the
center is recommended: shopping goods outlets should, in the main, be
located along Burlingame Avenue and Park Road,in a pedestrian precinct;
convenience goods stores, restaurants, and co��sumer service outlets should
not occupy ground level street .frontage space in the heart of the center
but shouid be in more peripheral locations; the frontage of the west side

appropriate in type and intensity without undue congestion.
4. GOAL: To maintain and improve the quality of the environment to preserve
the public health and enhance the prospects for enjoyment by residents
and visitors.
Implementing Objectives
a. Insure levels of air quality compatible with the preservation
of public health, including prevention of irritation to the

to the International Airport, and on the major traffic routes
linking San Francisco with other parts of the State.
b. Improve the functional efficiency and safety of the circulation
s stem.
c. Minimize disruptive effects of vehicular movement on the
community (noise, air pollution, vibration, glare, congestion).
d. Improve the functional efficiency, character and quality of
the Central and other business districts.
h. Provide an effective transition between retail
co�mercial and residential uses to strengthen the
residential character of the city.

1. LAND USE ELEMENT
LAND USE ELEMENT
RESIDENTIAL
The land use element describes categories of uses, indicates proposed land
use relationships and indicates proposed land use relationships and identifies
in.general terms actions needed to achieve community goals.
For the purposes of this plan land uses are grouped in the following major
categories: Residential Uses, Institutions, Parks, Commercial Uses, Industrial
Uses, and Circulation. Each of these categories is discussed under a separate
heading in subsequent sections. These categories and sub-categories are shown
on the ptan diagram which portrays �eneral relationships between the various
uses of land and between land uses and circulation facilities. The diagram
is not�intended to indicate exact boundaries or extent of the areas. In some
instances it may be appropriate for certain types of use areas to overlap so
that uses of different categories actually interpenetrate. This would be true
of office, shopping and service uses, and high density residential uses when
buildings and sites are appropriately designed.
Residential Uses
Four categories of residential densities with the followin� ranges of dwelling
units per net residential acre are included and shown on the plan diagram: low
density up to 8 dwelling uni:s per acre; medium density 9 to 20; medium.high
density 21 to 50; and high density over 50 dwelling units per acre.
An area northwest of the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road shopping center is
designated for high density residential uses in recognition of its special
locational advantages. It has good access to all forms of transportation and
proximity to the major downtown area in Burlingame. The dominant building
type envisaged for this area is multi-story apartment buildings.
Areas for medium high density residential uses are designated around the
periphery of the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center, around the Broadway
shopping center, and as a part of the complex of activities in the Burlingame
Plaza area. In addition, the frontage along most of .El Camino Real is included
in this category. The medium high density residential areas in many instances
provide a transition between higher intensity uses and adjoining lower intensity
uses. The typical building type contemplated for the medium high density area
is the two to three story apartment building but higher buildings would also
be appropriate.
N�edium density areas shown an the plan diagram would be occupied in the main .
by duplexes and one and two story garden apartment developments.
Low density areas with singfe-family detached residences, occupy the remainder
of the City. For the most part existing low density residential areas are
well maintained and of good quality, requiring only that present zoning be
maintained to e;isure protection for the useful life of the dwellings (20, 30
or more years).
�
LAND USE ELEMENT
COMMERCIAL
�
;
In addition, to augment the small sites of many of the existing !
neighborhood parks and elementa ry schools, acquisition of adjoining
lots is recommended whenever such become available. In some instances r
street closings of very short sections of streets could be used to t
augment existing sites or to link schools and parks together.. In some
instances such closings would increase traffic safety in, addition to �
providing very much needed park space.
Commercial Uses
Three complexes of commercial uses are included in this plan: the Burlingame `
Plaza Area, the Broadway center, and the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center.
In these centers of commercial activity three general categories of commercial �
uses are shown on the plan diagram: Shopping and Service, Service and Special
Sales, and Office Use. In addition to the commercial uses in these three
centers of activity an additional category of commercial use, Waterfront- r
Commercial, is indicated along most of the waterfront area. (
Burlinqame Plaza Area. This area includes outlets providing convenience
goods and consumer services to local residents and workers; the Peninsula
Hospital and medical offices; and_other professional-administrative offices.
No changes are recommended in the pattern of uses presently established.
The visual quality of the shopping center should be improved and the
parking area serving the shopping center needs redesign and tree planting
to improve functional efficiency and appearance.
Broadway Center. Outlets in this center now provide convenience goods
_ and consumer services for residents in the general vicinity. Althoi�gh
many of the businesses here are well established and apparently successful
enterprises, better circulation, more parking, and better urban design
would enhance this center. Separation of vehicular and pedestrian
circulation and reduction of through-traffic on Broadway is needed.
Recommendations for improving the traffic curculation pattern are
presented in the Circulation Element. These include a grade separation
for the railroad tracks and improvement of the Broadway-Bayshore Freeway
interchange to relieve traffic congestion at that point. Consideration
should be given to creating a pedestrian precinct on Broadway in the
section between Laguna Avenue and Capuchino Avenue. Additional off-street
parking should be provided to the rear of present business outlets
fronting on Broadway witn access to such lots from the ne�-� streets
indicated on the plan diagram. F,n urban design plan should be developed
� for this center to provide more detailed guidance for future changes.
Burlingan,e Avenue-Park Road Center. This center includes outlets providing
a wide range of consumer goods and services for Burlingame residents
and residents of adjoining communities. It also includes business service
establishments, business and professional offices, civic buildings, and
some residential uses. The following organization of uses within the
center is recommended: shopping gaods outlets should, in the main, be
located along •Burlingame Avenue and Park Road,in a pedestrian precinct;
convenience goods stores, restaurants, and consumer service outlets should
not occupy ground level street frontage space in the heart of.the center
but should be in more peripheral locations; the frontage of the west side

Planning Commission Action
At their meeting on June 13, 1994 the Planning Commission held a public
hearing and acted on the five requests recommending to the City Council
approval of the negative declaration based on the information in the
initial study and the testimony at their hearing finding that there was
no significant effect for the general plan amendment, rezoning, or 4 unit
residential condominium permit. They also recommended approval of the
change in the General Plan land use designation from sales and service
commercial to medium high density residential and a rezoning from C-1
Broadway Commercial Area to R-3 Multiple Family Residential based on the
supporting documentation in the planning commission staff report and
because it is necessary to have consistency between the General Plan land
use designation and zoning on a property. The vote of approval on the
first three actions was 5-0-2 (Crs. Ellis and Kelly absent.)
Subsequently the commission voted 5-0-2 (Crs. Ellis and Kelly absent) to
approve a motion granting a condominium permit with conditions for the 4
unit residential project. Finally the commission recommended the
tentative map to the city council for approval action on a 5-0-2 vote
(Crs. Ellis and Kelly absent).
BACKGROUND:
Paul Gumbinger, architect, representing Boreal/Poplar Developments, is
asking to build a four unit all residential condominium project at 1128

Chula Vista Avenue, zoned C-1 Broadway Commercial Area. The project
includes four two bedroom, two bath 1,193 to 1,301 SF, two story
residential units over eight parking spaces. Each unit has 76 SF of
private open space ( 75 SF minimum required). Common open space is
provided at the rear in a 750 SF area (400 SF required), all of which is
in soft landscaping. Sixty-two percent of the front yard is landscaped
where 60% is required. The structure is 32'-0" tall where 35'-0" is the
maximum height allowed. All other requirements of the zoning and
condominium guidelines have been met.
Previous projects proposed on this site have include commercial uses on
the first floor with residential above so that they could add residential
uses with the Broadway Commercial land use designation and commercial
zoning. These projects were not approved. The last proposal was denied
without prejudice. The applicant undertook studies and determined that
the most viable project on the site was all residential. A project
without any commercial use does not comply with the requirements of the
general plan for the Broadway Center as they now stand. Since the site
is immediately adjacent to the area zoned R-3 and designated medium high
residential and the most viable use is residential, the property owner
decided to request a change in the zoning and general plan designation in
order to build a project with the greatest chance of successful
completion.
The map (Exhibit 1) shows the property at 1128 Chula vista Avenue as the
last `commercially zoned parcel on the south side of the Broadway
Commercial Area (called Broadway Center in the General Plan). The
properties to the south are zoned R-3 and designated medium high density
residential (9-20 dwelling unit/acre) on the general plari land use map.
In order to proceed with the project the applicant must change the land
use designation and zoning of 1128 Chula Vista from sales and service
commercial/C-1 to medium high density residential/R-3. The rezoning is
necessary along with the General Plan amendment because the land use and
zoning are required to be consistent (See City Planners Memo May 31, 1994
Requirement of Rezoning). The medium high density land use designation
calls for two to three story apartment buildings. The proposed project
is compatible with those guidelines and helps to maintain the buffer zone
between the commercial uses and the lower density residential areas to
the south of the block zoned R-3.
The change to residential zoning and use is consistent with the
commercial portion of the land use element. The rezoning of a single
lot, immediately adjacent, will not change the intent of the commercial
land use policy for the Broadway Center and it will not interfere with
existing circulation patterns or access to consumer goods and services.
The proposed residential condominium will not increase parking impacts
along Broadway because the project provides its own pa�king on site to
required code dimensions:

Negative Declaration
Negative Declaration ND-471 addresses the General Plan amendment,
rezoning from C-1 to R-3, and the 4 residential unit condominium project.
It notes, based on the initial study, that the proposed in fill
development, including the general plan and zoning changes necessary to
implement it, will not create any hazardous effects on the existing
neighborhood or surrounding environment. Because the project is infill
all utilities necessary are adequately sized to serve the projects
requirements.

Planning Commission action has been justifiably, with clear
direction, denied without prejudice; or when the propos_ed project
raises questions or issues on which the Council _would like
additional information or additional design work before acting on

requirements, P.C. Resolution 5-80 with findings addressing development
standards, and Ordinance 1015 establishing condominium subdivision
regulations. The intent of these actions are outlined as follows:

Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendmerit, Rezoning, Condominium
Permit and Tentative Map for a 4 unit residential condominium.
Address: 1128 Chula Vista Avenue Meetinq Date: 6-13-94
Request:Negative Declaration (ND 471-P), General Plan Amendment to
land use (C.S. 25.04.080),.Rezoning from C-1 to R-3 (C.S. 25.04.080

(C.S. 26.08.020) for a four unit residential condominium project at
1128 Chula Vista Avenue, zoned C-1.
Applicant: Paul Gumbinger, Gumbinger and Associates
Property Owner: Borel/Poplar Developments APN: 026-191-190
Lot Dimensions and Area: 50' X 115' = 5750 SF

CEQA Status: See Initial Study and Negative Declaration
Backaround•
In December of 1993 a mixed use development project, consisting of 5
condominium units with retail commercial use on the first floor and
a portion of the second floor, was denied without prejudice by the
Planning Commission., The project included variances for lot coverage
and parking maneuvers and two exceptions to the condominium criteria
in the form of inadequate front yard landscaping and substandard
common open space square footage. The denial without prejudice was
upheld by the City Council and the applicant was instructed that a
redesign may be resubmitted to the Planning Commission within three
months. The applicant resubmitted the present project on March 23,
1994 which was three months after the Council action.
Current Project:
The new proposal includes the following elements and requests:
negative declaration, general plan amendment,.rezoning the property
from its existing C-1, first commercial district (re�ail commercial)
designation to an R-3, third residential district (multiple family
dwellings) designation, Condominium Permit and Tentative Map. No
variances or,special permits are being requested with this submittal.
The negative declaration, condominium permit and tentative map is for
a three story, 4 unit residential condominium project with 8 parking
spaces at grade. The condominiums range in size from 1,193 SF to
1,301 SF and consist of parking on the ground floor; kitchen,
living/dining area, deck and half bath on the second floor; and two
bedrooms and two baths on the third floor.
The condominium project meets all of the condominium criteria by
providing 76 SF of private open space per unit where 75 SF is the
1
t= \
t r,
a� �
CONDO.,GSN.PZrllN AMENDMSNT,RSZONS
maximum required and 750 SF of common open space where 400 SF is the
maximum required, Sixty-two percent of the front yard is landscaped
where 60� is required. One hundred percent of this area is in soft
landscaping where 50% is required. The-building is 32'-0" tall from
average top of curb where 35'-0" is the maximum allowable. A total of
8 parking spaces are provided,-two as visitor/guest spaces, and 8 are
required.
Exhibit 1(attached) shows the property at 1128 Chula Vista Ave. as
the last commercially zoned parcel along Chula Vista Avenue. The
applicant would like to rezone 1128 to R-3, the same as the adjacent
developed property; 1124 Chula Vista. The lot at 1124 Chula Vista
Avenue is developed with a 4 unit apartment building. The rest of
the block of Chula Vista, to the south, is also developed in multiple
family uses.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
generaL plan, land use map and zoning must be consistent:- In this
case the medium density land use designation must be extended one lot
to the north on the east side of the street (see Exhibit 2). The
land use element does not need to be amended because the proposed
change is a single lot in a transitional location. Excerpts from the
general plan land use goals and 'objectives, as well as, the
coinmercial and multiple family'residential portions of the element
support this conclusion.
The medium high density portion of the residential land use element
calls for two to three story apartment buildings. This project is
compatible with those guidelines •and helps to maintain the buffer
zone between the commercial uses and the lower density residential
areas.
The change in use is consistent with the commercial land use element.
The rezoning of a single lot will not change the intent of the
commercial land use element in the Broadway Avenue area and will not
interfere with existing circulation patterns or access to consumer
goods and services. The proposed residential condominium will not.
increase parking impact along Broadway because it provides its own

staff Comments•
The Chief Building Official had no comments. The Fire Marshall
comments in his March 28, 1994 memo that the building must be
equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system and the sprinklers
must be monitored by an approved central monitoring station.
The Park Director comments in his April 14, 1994 memo that the
project will be required to meet all provisions of the reforestation
ordinance at the building permit stage.
NOTE: Previously the Planning Commission had asked for an arborist
report on the Walnut Tree, located in the city planter strip, for the
previously proposed mixed use project. The Park Director notes, in
his April 14, 1994, comments that arborist reports are helpful for
private trees that are impacted by development. However, trees in
the City right-of-way are handled by the Park Department and,
therefore, will be addresses at the time the construction documents
are submitted. The Park Director also stated that the Walnut tree is
not a particularly valuable specimen.
The Associate Civil Engineer has several comments in his April 19,
1994 memo (attached) which will need to be addressed prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
Stud Meetin :
At the May 23, 1994 Planning Commission meeting the ,Planning
Commission had several questions (P.C. Minutes, 5/23/94). The
applicant states, in his May 27, 1994 response letter, that 1 parking
space will be assigned to each unit and the rest will remain
unassigned.
The Park Director stated that Walnut trees are relatively short.lived
and are more affected by draught conditions compared to Elms, Oaks or
Redwoods. The Walnut tree at the 1128 Chula Vista location is a
mature tree and will only last another 5 to 10 years where a mature
Oak could last another 30 to 40 years, iie stated that it would not
be wise to alter or stop a project from being built in light of these
facts, especially since it is a city street tree�and the city has
been regularly removing Walnut trees from planter strips.

CONDO.,GENLPLAN AMENDXENT,REZONS 1128 CHULA VISTA AVS.
The portion of State Planning law addressing zoning (Government Code
Section 65860) requires that city zoning ordinances be consistent
with city general plans. As a part of Burlingame achieving
consistency between zoning and the.general plan in 1984, the city
identified the C-1 district as implementing the retail and service
commercial land use designation and R-3 implementing the medium high
density residential uses. While the C-1 zone allows development to
R-3 standards in Burlingame, the C-1 district requires a use permit
to develop residential only uses and allows commercial development
which is not allowed in the medium high density land use designation.
As a result, the C-1 district promises uses that the land use
designation would not allow and misleads the property owner about the
city's policy regarding the future development of his property. If
commission wishes they could determine that C-1 zoning officially
implements the medium high.density land use designation. If this is
done then a rezoning is not necessary in this case. (See Planners
memo May 25, 1994).
The proposed four unit residential condominium is compatible with the
uses across the street because it is screened from view by the trees
and deepens the buffer area between the cominercial uses and the lower
density residential uses to the south. The applicant states in his
response letter that the proposed multifamily residential project has
less physical impact on the area than a permitted commercial
structure.,which could reach 35'-0" in height without any setbacks.
Findings for a Neqative Declaration: FoTlowing the public hearing the
Planning Commission should act.first on the Negative Declaration, ND '
471-P, 1128 Chula Vista Ave. Prior to acting on a project the
Planning Commission must approve the Negative Declaration finding
that on the basis of the Initial Study and.any comments received that
there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment.
Findings for a General Plan Amendment: In acting on the request for
a general plan amendment for the rezoning of 1128 Chula Vista the
Planning Commissioners should state the reasons why they feel such
action is appropriate to change the land use from shopping and
commercial .service to medium high density residential. The
Commissioners inust state why the changes are consistent with the
General Plan and in particular the Land Use Element of the General
Plan.
Findings for a Rezoning: In acting on the request to rezone the
property at 1128 Chula Vista from C-1 to R-3, the Planning Commission
should state the reasons why they feel sueh act'ion is appropriate and
consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinance. Code section
25.04.010 states that the zoning ordinance was established for the
following purposes; to promote public health, safety and welfare;
prese'rve a wholesome serviceable and attractive :community which
increase the.safety and security of home life; promote a harmonious
character and economy among property, building construction and civic

services; establish regulations to limit the location, uses, height,
bulk, occupancy, lot coverage, street setback, yard sizes and
occupancy of building structures and land; encourage remodeling of
existing residential structures; preserve residential neighborhood
character of single famil.y structures and accessory structures and
provide the �est general civic use to protect the common rights and
interests of all.
Criteria for Permitting a Residential Condominium: Following the
public hearing the Planning Commission should act fourth on the
Condominium Criteria. The criteria for permitting a residential
condominium are based on three City Council actions: P.C. Resolution
7-79 addressing open space requirements, P.C. Resolution 5-80 with
findings addressing development standards, and Ord.1015 establishing
condominium subdivision regulations. The intent of these actions is
outlined as follows:
a) a new condominium project shall conform to all applicable zoning
regulations and General Plan densities;
b) review of a condominium project shall include its effect on
sound community planning; the_economic, ecological, social and
aesthetic qualities of the community, and public health safety
and welfare; including but not limited to impact . on schools,
parks, public utilities, neighborhoods, streets, traffic,
parking, and other community facilities and resources; and
c) the condominium project shall have a legal Tentative Map filed
with the City Engineer prior to approval.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a
public hearing. All requests may.be addressed in a single public
hearing including the tentative map. The negative declaration,
general plan amendment and rezoning actions are recommendations to
City Council. Affirmative action on the condominium permit should be
taken by resolution. The tentative map is also a recommendation to
City Council. If the Commissioners wish you may act on the negative
declaration, general plan amendment, rezoning and residential
condominium permit at one time. The reasons for each action should
be clearly stated for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
Conditions:
1) that the project shall be built as shown on'the plans submitted
to the Planning Department and date stamped March 23, 1994,
Sheets SD1 and SD2 and Tentative Map dated:April 15, 1994;
2) that the conditions set forth in the City Engineer's memo dated
April 19, 1994, the Fire Marshal's memo dated March 28, 1g94,
the Park Director's memo dated April 14, 1994 shall be met;

CITY OF BURLINGAME
NEGATIVE:DECLARATION
File No. _ND- 471 P.- 1128 Chula Vista Avenue
The City of Burlingame by Maraaret Monroe on April 18, 1994,
completed a-review of the proposed project and determined-that:
(XX) It will not have a significant effect on the environment
(XX) No Environmental Impact Report is required.
Pro�ect Description•
The proposed three story, four• unit multiple family residential
project requires a General Plan Amendment for the rezoning of a
single parcel from the existing commercial, C-1 zoning designation
to the neighboring multifamily, R-3 zoning designation. The
condominium consists of parking on the ground floor for eight
vehicles.to correct code dimensions; kitchen., living/dining room,
deck and balcony on the second floor and two bedrooms and two
bathrooms on the third floor. The project meets all of the
landscaping and open space requirements as provided in Chapter 26
Condominium Subdivisions.of the Municipal Code.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
general plan, land use map and zoning must be consistent. In this
case the medium high density land use designation must be extended
one lot to the north on the east side of the street. The land use
element does not need to be amended because the proposed change is
a single lot and in a transitional location. Change in use is
consistent with.current policies of the'land use element.
Reasons for Conclusion•
This development, as proposed with a rezoning re.quest, is in-fill
development consistent with the intended land use and zoning of the
area and does not present any danger to human health, established
aesthetics, recreation or cultural resources.
This proposal will not create any hazardous effects on the existing
- neighborhood or surrounding environment. .As proposed this project
will be adequately served and will not negatively impact the
existing water, sewer or electrical facilities already in place or
present any need to alter existing public services or traffic
circulation.
The proposed three story, four unit condominium project at 1128
Chula Vista Avenue will not negatively impact the envir'onment as
proposed. Because the property has been developed for many years
as a single family dwelling (the lot is now vacant) there will be
no impacts on the native plant life.
The attached initial study includes reasons supporting.the findings
that, based on the initial study, there is no substantial evidence
that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.

' . Each unit will be assigned one (1) parking space. Thexemaining spaces `
will be unassigned.
2. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT
- In our professional opinion as architects and urban planners, the
proposed project fits well into the neighborhood context. It provides a
transition from the eommercial to the residential and is shielded by
the large street trees from the one story commercial building across
;�. the street. . . .;.
The proposed project has less visual impact than a 35ft. high
commercial building that could be built to the front property line.
Being a residential projecE, it also has less impact on the need for street
parking during business hours.

CITY.OF BURLINGAME
MEMO
TO:
FROM:
PLANNING COMMI$SION
CITY PLANNER � Qf� 1� i�„^
DATE: 5/31/94
SUBJECT: REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR
RESIDENTIAL USE FOR 1�ROPERTY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA,
AT 1128 CSULA VISTA.
At the Planning Commission Study meeting on May 23, 1994 the Commissioners
asked that if the C-1 district allows residential development as a
conditional use, why is a rezoning to R-3 necessar.y for this proposed 4
unit residential project? -
The properties zoned commercial (C-1) along Broadway and on the cross
streets between E1.Camino Real and California Dr.ive have been designated in
both the General Plan and zoning ordinance as a special commercial area.
In the General Plan the area is.called the Broadway Center. In the zoning
ordinance the area is called tYie Broadway Commercial Area. In both cases
the two areas include the same properties.
In the Land Use Element of the General Plan the uses in the.Broadway Center
area.are specifically called out and described. (General Plan page 12).
There is no mention of residential uses or of a policy to promote
residential uses within .this sub-planning area. In 1984 the Broadway
Center was called out as the Broadway Commercial Area for specific zoning
regulation. At that time the definition of the area Was mapped and defined
as being all the properties zoned c-1 fronting on Broadway and the side
streets intersecting Broadway; 1128 Chula Vista was clearly one of these
properties. (See map of Br•oadway Commercial Area).
The present C-1 zoning district aliows, as a conditional use, residential
� uses, either as the sole use of a property or as a mixed use with
commercial. The issue with the proposed 4 unit residential condominium at
1128 Chula Vista is not that the C-1 zoning will.not allow a multiple
family residential development in the C-1 zone. Rather the issue is one of
consistency of zoning with the General Plan i.e. the zoning allows
residential uses and the General Plan does not.
The California Planning Law Government Code. 6530'0.5, states that the
General Plan (land use map and elements) must be internally consistent.
This means that the map cannot say one thing in terms of land use and the
land use element say something else. In the case of our current plan, the
General Plan Map shows the Broadway Center as shopping and service
commercial use.- The desiqnation appears to be coterminous with the area
zoned C-1 on and adjacent to Broadway. The land use element description
discusses commercial uses exclusively• there is no reference or discussion
of maintaining or.bringing residential units into the commercial area.

REZONING WITH GENERAL pLAN p,MENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL IISE FOR
C-1, BROAD47AY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA`VISTA.
Section 65800 of the Government��Code,notes: "It is the purpose of this
chapter, to provide for the adoption and administration of zoning laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations by counties and cities, as well as to
implement such general plan as may be in effect in any such county or
city". Section 65860 (a),'goes on to state in part: "County or city
zoning ordinances shall be consistent with the general plan of the county
or city by January,i 1974.
The State code then addresses ineonsistency and how to bring
inconsistencies into compliance in section 65862:
When inconsistency between the general plan and zoning arises as a
result of adoption of or amendment to a general plan,... hearings
held...for the purpose of bringing zoning into consistency with the
general plan,...may be held at the same time as hearings held for the
purpose of adopting or amending- a general plan, or any element
thereof....It is the intent of the Legislature, iri enacting this
section, that local agencies shall, to the extent possible,
concurrently process.applications for general plan amendments .and
zoning changes which are needed to permit development so as to
expedite processing of such applications."
To comply with the direction<-o£`-consistency between the zoning and the
general plan, the Burlingame zoning ordinance was amended in 1982 with
Section 25.04.080 which states in part:
Approval of a zoning, rezoning, variance or use permit pursuant to
this title shall be based on a finding that the approval is consistent
with the general p1an...Applications for a zoning, rezoning, variance
or use permit shall be denied if found to be incons'istent with the
general plan....
Further, in 1984, motivated by the change in the state planning law
r�quiring comsistency betweeri the General Plan land use designations and
the zoning, staff did a.comparative study of the land use designations and
zoning. For this study, which resulted in a series of general plan
amendments and rezonings, the`following zones were determined to correspond
to the following land use designat.ions: �
General Plan Land Use .
Residential
low density
medium density
medium high density

Office use "
Water.front commercial

C-3/C-4

C-R

As a result when the property owner of 1128 Chula
requested to place a multiple family residential
any commercial use, staff looked at the followin
a. The generalfplan designated shopping an
with C-1).
b. 'The site is zoned C-1.
Vista Avenue came in and
use on the site, without
g factors:
d service use (consistent
c. The designation of the Broadway Center in the general plan did not
mention residential uses within �the area as a development objective or
policy.
d. Although at.the. edge of the Broadway Center area, there was no
dispute that this property was included in the Broadway-Center.
e.. The proposed project is clearly a use consistent with the general
plan land use designation medium high residential and R-3 zoning; both of
which,are immediately adjacent to the site on the south.
On the basis of these facts, and the fact that.the State planning law
clearly directs consistency between the General Plan and zoning, staff
proposed that the applicant apply for a general plan amendment and rezoning
along with the use permit far the 4 unit residential condominium.
* Keeping the C-1 Zoning Designation
Since the C-1 zoning District.does allow multiple family residential uses
as a conditional use, the Planning Commission could determine that the C-1
district could be used to implement the medium high density residential
land use designation. If this were done, the determination would apply to
all areas designated medium high density residential in the General Plan.
It would mean that while this applicant does need a general plan amendment
for this project he would not need a rezoning. It would also mean that
while the applicant's zoning would allow commercial uses at this site, the
general plan would not. In other words if he wanted'to build a commercial
use or mixed commercial residential use in the future, he would have to
amend the general plan again. In the end, retaining_the C-1 zoning is not
givirig future users of this property the clearest message about City policy
regarding this site and could lead to just the kind of misunderstanding
that the legislature was trying to avoid with the consistency requirement.

REZONING WITH GENERAL pLAN p,MENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL "USE FOR
C-1, BROADWAY COMNiERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.
If from this: discussion it appears that the land use pol�cy for the
Broadwag Center is not accurate, and if, in fact, to vitalize the area
residential uses within tYie area should be encouraged, then the Commission
should look at changing the text of the General Plan.. If the te�rt stated
that residential: uses were appropriate to accomplish the commercial goals
of the area, then the C-1 district is perfect for implementation and no
general plan amendments or rezonings are necessary for this proposed
project.
If the Commission should wish to pursue this alternative it cannot be done
at the June 13, 1994 meeting addressing 1128 Chula Vista becatise the public
notice did not include changing the land use policy for tfie entire Broadway
Center. However, the item could be placed on a later agenda for
consideration.
Given all the above considerations and the fact that the applicant is
interested in just the one property, it seemed prudent to ask for the
rezoning to R-3 as well as extending the medium high density residential
designation one lot to the north. Whichever way the determination.on the
appropriate implementing zoning goes, the decision on the general plan is
permanent. If the general plan land use designation is changed to medium
high,density.residential then commercial uses will not be allowed on the
property at 1128 Chula Vista in the future. The City Attorney did note
that all of these requested actions - negative declaration, general plan
amendment, rezoning and use permit for condominiums - could be acted upon
in a single motion. By this method if the residential project is not
acceptable then its denial will include denial of the negative declaration,
general plan amendment, and rezoning.

LAND USE ELEMENT
RESIDENTIAL
—_
1. LAND USE ELEMENT
' The land use element describes categories of uses,.indicates proposed land
us.e relationships and.indicates proPosed land use relationships end identifies
in.general terms actions needed to achieve community goals.
For the �urposes of this plan iand uses are grouped in the following major
categories: Residential Uses, Institutions, Parks, Commercial Uses, Industrial
Uses, and Circulation. Each of these categories is discussed under a separate
heading in subsequent sections. These categories and sub-categories are shown
on the plan diagram which portrays general relationships between the various
uses of land and between land uses and circulation facilities. The diagram
is not-intended to indicat.e exact boundaries or extent of the areas. In some
instances it may be appropriate for certain types of use areas to overlap so
that uses of different categories actually interpenetrate. This would be true
of office, shopping and service uses, and high density re.sidential uses when
buildings and sites are appropriately designed.
Residential Uses
Four categories of residential densities with the follow.in� ranoes of dweiling
units per net residential acre are included and shown on the plan diagram: low
density up to 8 dwelling units per.acre; medium density 9 to 20; medium.high
density 21 to 50; and high density over 50 dwelling units per acre.
An area northwest of the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road shop�ing center is
designated for high density residential uses in recognition of its special
locational advantages. It has good access to ail forms af transportation and.
proximity to the majoc downtown area in Burlingame. The dominant building
type envisaged for this area is multi-story apartment buildings.
Areas for medium high density residential uses are designated around the
periphery of the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center, around the Broadway
shopping center, and as a part of the complex of activities in the Burlingame
Plaza area. In addition, the frontage along most of .EI Camino Real� is included
in this category. The medium high density residential areas in many instances
provide a transition between higher intensity uses and adjoining lower intensity
,,uses. The�typical building type contemptated for the medium high density area
�is the two to three story apartment b�ilding but higher buildings would also
be appropriate.
Nedium density areas shown on the plan diagra;n would be occupied in the.main
by duptexes and one and two story garden apartment developments.
Low density areas with single-family detached residences, occupy the remainder
of the City. For the most part existing low density residential areas are
well maintained and of good quality, requiring only that present zoning be
maintained to ensure protection for the useful life of the dwellings (20, 30
or more years).

providing very much needed park space.
LAND USE ELEMENT
COMMERCIAL
In addition, to augment the small sites of many of the existing
neighborhood parks and elementary schools, acquisition of adjoining
lots is recommended whenever such become available. In some instances
street closings of very short sections of streets could be used to
augment existing sites or to link schools and parks toget�her._ In some
i�stances suyh closings would increase traffic safety.in. eddition to
Cortxnercial Uses
Three complexes of commercial uses are included in this plan: the Burlingame
Plaza Area, the Broadway center, and the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center.
In these centers of commercial activity three general categories of commercial
uses are shown on the plan diagram: Shopping and Service, Service and Special
Sales, and Office Use. In addition to the commercial uses in these three
centers of activity an additional category of commercial use, Waterfront-
Commercial, is indicated along most of the waterf ront area.
Burlinqame Plaza Area. This area includes outlets providing convenience
goods and consumer services to local residents and workers; the Peninsuia
Hospital and meciical offices; and.other professional-administrative offices.
No changes are recommended in the pattern of uses presently established.
The visual quality of the shopping center should be improved and the
parking area serving the shopping center needs redesign and tree planting
to improve functional efficiency and appearance.
Broadway Center. Outlets in this center now provide convenience goods
and consumer services for residents in the general vicinity. Although
many of the businesses here are well established and apparently successful
enterprises, better circu,lation, more parking, and better urban design
would enhance this center. Separation of vehicular and pedestrian
circulation and reduction of through-traffic on Broadway is needed.
Recommendations for improving the traffic curculation pattern are
presented in the Circulation Element. These include a gr.ade separation
for the railroad tracks and improvement of the Broadway-Bayshore Freeway
interehange to relieve traffic congestion at that point. Consideration
should be given to creating a pedestrian precinct on Broadway in the
section between Laguna Avenue and Capuchino Avenue. Additional off-street
parking should be provided to the rear of present business outlets
fronting on Broadway witn access to such ]ots from the �ev� streets
indicated on the plan diagram. An urban design plan should be deve]oped
for this center to provide more detailed guidance for.future ehanges.
Burlingame Avenue-Park Road Center. This center inc�ludes outlets providing
a wide range•of consumer goods and services for Burlingam.e residents
and residents of adjoining communities. It also includes business service
establish�ents, business and professional offices, civic buildings, and
some residential uses. The following organization of uses within the
center is recommended: shopping guods outlets should, in the main, be
located along $urlingame Avenue and Park Road,in a pedestrian precinct;
convenience goods stores, restaurants, and consumer service outlets should
not occupy ground level street fr�ntage space in the heart of,the center
but should be in more peripheral lo�ations; the frontage of the west side

CITY OF BIIRLINGAME
NEGATIVE DECI�ARATION
File No. ND- 471 P. 1128 Chula Vista Avenue
The City of'Burlingame by Margaret Monroe on April 18, 1994,
completed a review of the proposed project and determined that:
(XX) It will not have a significant effect on the environment
(XX) No Environmental Impact Report is required.
Project Description:
The proposed three story, four unit multiple family residential
project requires a General Plan Amendment for the rezoning of a
single parcel from the existing commeraial, C-1 zoning designation
to the neighboring multifamily, R-3 zoning designation. The
condominium consists of parking on the ground floor for eight
vehicles-to correct code dimensions;.kitchen., living/dining room,
deck and balcony on the second floor and two bedrooms and two
bathrooms on the third floor. The project meets all of the
landscaping and open space requirements as provided in Chapter 26
Condominium Subdivisions_of the Mnnicipal Code.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
general plan, land use map and zoning must be consistent. In this
case the medium high density land use designation must be extended
one lot to the north on the east side of the street. The land use
element does not need to be amended because the proposed change is
a single lot and in a transitional location. Change in use is
consistent with.current policies of�the,-land use element.
Reasons for Conclusion:
This development, as proposed with a rezoning re.quest, is in-fill
development consistent with the intended land use and zoning of the
area and does not present any danger to human health, established
aesthetics; recreation or cultural resources.
This proposal will not create any hazardous effects on the existing
neighborhood or surrounding environment. .As proposed this project
will be adequately served and will not negatively impact the
existing water, sewer or electrical facilities already in place or�
present any need to alter existing public services or traffic
circulation.
The proposed three story, four unit condominium project at 1128
Chula Vista Avenue will not negatively impact the �nvir'onment as
proposec�. Because the property has been developed for many years
as a sirigle family dwelling (the lot is now vacant) there will be
no impacts on the n�tive plant life. .
The attached initial study includes reasons supporting the findings
that, based on the initial study, there is no substantial evidence
that the project will fiave a significant effect on the environment.

CEQA Status: See Initial Study and Negative Declaration
Backqround•
In December of 1993 a mixed use development project, consisting of 5
condominium units with retail commercial use on the first floor and
a portion of the second floor, was denied without prejudice by the
Planning Commission. The project included variances for lot coverage
and parking maneuvers and two exceptions to the condominium criteria
in the form of inadequate frorit yard landscaping and substandard
common open space square footage. The denial without prejudice was
upheld by the City Council and the applicant was instructed that a
redesign may b� resubmitted to the Planning Commission within three
months. The applicant resubmitted the present project on March 23,
1994 which was three mon�hs after the Council_action.
Current.Proiect:
The new proposal zncludes the following elements and requests:
negative declaration, general plan amendment, rezoning_the property
from its existing C-1, first commercial district (re�ail commercial)
designation to an R-3, third residential district (multiple family
dwellings) designation, Condominium Pe�nit and Tentative Map.- No
variances or.special permits are being requested with this submittal.
The negative declaration, condominium permit and tentative map is for
a three story, 4 unit residential condominium project with 8 parking
spaces at grade. The condominiums range in size from 1,193 SF to
1,301 SF and consist of parking on the ground floor; kitchen,
livimg/dining area, deck and half bath on the second floor; and two
bedrooms and two baths on the third floor.
The condominium project meets all of the condominium criteria by
providing 76 SF of private open space per unit where 75 SF is the
1
CONDO.,GEX.PIrAN AXENDXSXT,RSZONS 1128 CHULA VISTA AVS.
maximum required and 750 SF of common open space where 400 SF is the
maximum required. Sixty-two percent of the front yard is landscaped
where 60� is required. One hundred percent of this area is in soft
landscaping where 50� is required. The building is 32'-0" tall from
average top of curb where 35'-0" is the maximum allowable. A total of
8 parking spaces are provided, two as visitor/guest spaces, and 8 are
required. l
E�ibit 1(attached) shows the property at 1128 Chula Vista Ave. as
the last commercially zoned parcel along Chula Vista Avenue. The
applicant would like to rezone 1128 to R-3, the same as the adjacent
developed property; 1124 Chula Vista. The lot at 1124 Chula Vista
Avenue is developed with a 4 unit apartment building. The rest of
the block of Chula Vista, to the south, is also developed in multiple
family uses.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
general plan, land use map and zoning must be consisten�=``-In this
case the medium density land use designation must be extended one lot
to the north on the east side of the street (see Exhibit 2). The
land use element does not need to be amended because the proposed
change is a single lot in a transitional location. Excerpts from the
general plan land use goals and objectives, as well. as, the
coinmercial and multiple family residential portions of the element
support this conclusion.
The medium high density portion of the residential land use element
calls for two to three story apartment buildings. This project is
compatible with those guidelines and helps to maintain the buffer
zone between the commercial uses and the lower density residential
areas.
The change in use is consistent with the commercial land use element.
The rezoning of a single lot will not change the intent of the
commercial land use element in the Broadway Avenue area and will not
interfere with existing circulation patterns or access to consumer
goods and services. The proposed residential condominium will not.
increase parking impact along Broadway because it provides its own
parking on site to required code dimensions. _. __

staff Comments•
The Chief Building Official had no comments. The Fire Marshall
comments in his March 28, 1994 memo that the buildinq_must be
equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system and the��rinklers
must be monitored by an approved central monitoring station.
The Park Director comments in his April 14, 1994 memo that the
project will be required to meet all provisions of the reforestation
ordinance at the building permit stage.
NOTE: Previously the Planning Commission had asked for an arborist
report on the Walnut Tree, located in the city planter strip, for the
previously proposed mixed use project. The Park Director notes, in
his April 14, 1994, comments that arborist reports are helpful for
private trees that are impacted by development. However, trees in
the City right-of-way are handled by the Park Department and,
therefore, will be addresses at the time the construction documents
are submitted. The Park Director also stated that the Walnut tree is
not a particularly valuable specimen.
The Associate Civil Engineer has several comments in his April 19,
1994 memo (attached) which will need to be addressed prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
Stud Meetin :
-. _ ..
At the May 23, 1994 Planning Commission meeting the Planning
Commission had several questions (P.C. Minutes, 5/23/94). The
applicant states, in his May 27, 1994 response letter, that 1 parking
space will be assigned to each unit and the rest will remain
unassigned.
The Park Director stated that Walnut trees are relatively short lived
and are more affected by draught conditions compared to Elms, Oaks or
Redwoods. The Walnut tree at the 1128 Chula Vista location is a
mature tree and will only last another 5 to 10 years where a mature
Oak could last another 30 to 40 years. He stated that it would not
be wise to alter or stop a project from being built in light of these
facts, especially since it is a city street tree�and the city has
been regularly removing Walnut trees from planter strips.

CONDO.,GEN.PLAN AlYETTDXSNT,R$ZONS ZI28 CHOLA VISTA AVS.
The portion of State Planning law addressing zoning (Government Code
Section 65860) requires that city zoning ordinances be consistent
with city general pl.ans. As a part of Burlingame achieving
consistency between zoning and the.general plan in 1984, the city _
identified the C-1 district as implementing the retail and service
commercial land use designation.and R-3 implementing the medium high
density residential uses. While the C-1 zone allows development to
R-3 standards in Burlingame, the C-1 district requires a use permit
to develop residential only uses and allows commercial development
which is not allowed in the medium high density land use designation.
As a result, the C-1 district promises uses that the land use
designation would not allow and misleads the property owner about the
city's policy regarding the future development of his property. If
commission wishes they could determine that C-1 zoning officially
implements the medium high.density land use designation. If this is
done then a rezoning_is not necessary in this case. (See Planners
memo May 25, 1994). - -
The proposed four unit residential condominium is compatible with the
uses across the street because it is screened from view by the trees
and deepens the buffer area between the cominercial uses and the lower
density residential uses to the south, The applicant.states in his
response letter that the proposed multifamily residential project has
less physical impact on the area than a permitted commercial
structure which could reach 35'-0" in height without any setbacks.
Findings for a Negative Declaration: Following the public hearing the
Planning Commission should_act.first on the Negative Declaration, ND
471-P, 1128 Chula Vista Ave. Prior to acting on a project the
Planning Commission must approve the Negative Declaration finding
that on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received that
there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment.
Findinqs for a General Plan Amendment: In acting on the request for
a general plan•amendment for the rezoning of 1128 Chula Vista the
Planning Commissioners should state the reasons why they feel such
action is appropriate to change the land use from _.shopping and
commercial service to medium high density residential. The
Commissioners inust state why the changes are consistent with the
General Plan and in particular -the Land Use Element of the General
Plan.
Findings for a Rezoning: In acting on the request to rezone the
property at 1128 Chula Vista from C-1 to R-3, the Planning Commission
should state the reasons why they feel sueh action is appropriate and
consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinance. Code section
25.04.010 states that the zoning ordinance was established for the
following purposes; to promote public health, safety and welfare;
preserve a wholesome serviceable__and attractive community which
increase the safety and security of home life; promote a harmonious
character and economy among property, building construction and civic
4

services; establish regulations to limit the location, uses, height,
bulk, occupancy, lot coverage, street setback, yard sizes and
occupancy of building structures and land; encourage remodeling of
existing residential structures; preserve residential neighborhood
character of single famil,y structures and accessory structures and
provide the best general civic.use to protect the common rights and
interests of all.
Criteria for Permitting a Residential Condominium: Following the
public hearing the Planning Commission should act fourth on the
Condominium Criteria. The criteria for permitting a residential
condominium are based on three City Council actions: P.C. Resolution
7-79 addressing open space requirements, P.C. Resolution 5-80 with
findings addressing development standards, and Ord.lol5 establishing
condominium subdivision regulations. The intent of these actions is
outlined as follows:
a) a new condominium project shall conform to all applicable zoning
regulations and General Plan densities;
b) review of a condominium project shall include its effect on
sound community planning; the economic, ecological, social and
aesthetic qualities of the community, and public health safety
and welfare; including but not limited to impact.on schools,
parks, public utilities, neighborhoods, streets, traffic,
parking, and other community facilities and resources; and
c) the condominium project shall have a legal Tentative Map filed
with the City Engineer prior to approval.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a
public hearing. All requests may.be addressed in a single public
hearing including the tentative map. The negative declaration,

NEGATIVE�DECLARATION
File No. ND- 471 P, 1128 Chula Vista Avenue
The City of Burlingame by Marcraret Monroe on Abril 18, 1994,
completed a review of the proposed project and determined that:
(XX) It will not have a significant effect on the environment
(XX) No Environmental Impact Report is required.
Pro�ect Description•
The proposed three story, four• unit multiple family residential
project requires a General Plan Amendment for the rezoning of a
single parcel from the existing commercial, C-1 zoning designation
to the neighboring multifamily, R-3 zoning designation. The
- condominium consists of parking on the ground floor £aY eight
vehicles.to correct code dimensions; kitchen., living/dining room,
deck and balcony on the second floor and two bedrooms and two
bathrooms on the third floor. The project meets all of the
landscaping and open space requirements as provided in Chapter 26
Condominium Subdivisions.of the Municipal Code.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
general plan, land use map and zoning must be consistent. In this
case the medium high density land use designation must be extended
one lot to the north on the east side of the street. The land use
element does not need to be amended because the proposed.change is
a single lot and in a transitional location. Change in use is
consistent with.current policies of the land use element.
Reasons for Conclusion•
This development, as proposed with a rezoning re.quest, is in-fill
development consistent with the intended land use and zoning of the
area and does not present any danger to human health, established
aesthetics, recreation or cultural resources.
This proposal will not create any hazardous effects on the existing
neighborhood or surrounding environment. As proposed this project.
will be adequately served and will not negatively impact the
existing water, sewer or electrical facilities already in place or
present any need to alter existing public services or traffic
circulation.
The proposed three story, four unit condominium project at 1128
Chula Vista Avenue will not negatively impact the envir'onment as
proposed. Because the property has been developed for many years
as a single family dwelling (the lot is now vacant) there will be
no impacts on the native plant life.
The attached initial study includes reasons supporting the findings
that, based on the initial study, there is no substantial evidence
that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.

Dear Ms. Monroe:
The following is in response to quesfions regarding the project raised by
various Planning Commission members during the sfudy portion of the
meeting of May 23, 1994.
1. ASSIGNMENT OF PARKING SPACES
Each unit will be assigned one (1) parking space. The remaining spaces
will be unassigned. �
2. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT
In our professional opinion as architects and urban planners, the
proposed project fits well into the neighborhood context. It provides a
transition from the commercial to the residential and is shielded by -�-
the large street trees from the one story commercial building across
the street.
The proposed project has less visual impacE than a 35ft. high
commercial building that could be built to the front property line.
Being a residential project, it also has less impact on the need for street
parking during business hours.

MEMO
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: CITY PLANNER �Qf� r� �,
DATE: 5/31/94
SUBJECT: REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR
RESIDENTIAL IISE FOR PROPERTY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA,
AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.
At the Planning Commission Study meeting on May 23, 1994 the Commissioners
asked that if the C-1 district allows residential develo�tnent as a
conditional use, why is a rezoning to R-3 necessar.y for this proposed 4
unit residential project?
The properties zoned commercial (C-1) along Broadway and on the cross
streets between El.Camino Real and California Drive have been designated in
both the General Plan and zoning ordinance as a special commercial area.
In the General Plan the area is called the Broadway Center. In the zoning
ordinance the area is called the Broadway Commercial Area. In both cases
the two areas include the same properties.
In the Land Use Element of the General Plan the uses in the Broadway Center
area are specifically called out and described. (Gerieral Plan page 12).
There is no mention of residential uses or of a policy to promote
residential uses within this sub-planning area. In 1984 the Broadway
Center was called out as the Broadway Commercial Area for specific zoning
regulation. At that time the definition of the area was mapped and defined
as being all the properties zoned c-1 fronting on Broadway and the side
streets intersecting Broadway; 1128 Chula Vista was clearly one of these
properties. (See map of Broadway Commercial Area).
The present C-1 zoning district allows, as a conditional use, residential
uses, either as the sole use of a property or as a mrxed--use with
commercial. The issue with the proposed 4 unit residential condominium at
1128 Chula Vista is not that the C-1 zoning will not allow a multiple
family residential development in the C-1 zone. Rather the issue is one of
consistency of zoning with the General Plan i:.e. the zoning allows
residential uses and the General Plan does not.
The California Planning Law Government Code. 65300..5, states that the
General Plan (land use map and elements) must be internally consistent.
This means that the map cannot say one thing in terms of land use and the
land use element say something else. In the case of our current plan, the
General Plan Map shows the Broadway Center as shopping and service
commercial use., The designatiori appears to be coterminous with the area
zoned C-1 on and adjacent to Broadway. The land use element description
discusses commercial uses exclusively; there is no reference or discussion
of maintaining or.bringing residential units into the commercial area.

REZONIN.G WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL IISE FOR
C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.
Section 65800 of the Government�Code.notes: "It is the purpose of this
chapter, to provide for the adoption and administration of zoning laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations by counties and cities, as well as to
implement such qeneral plan as may be in effect in any such county or
city". Section 65860 (a),'goes on to state .in part: "County or city
zoning ordinances shall be consistent with the general plan of the county
or city by January,l 1974.
The State code then addresses ineonsistency
inconsistencies into compliance in section 65862:
and how to bring
When inconsistency between the general plan and zoning arises as a
result of adoption of or amendment to a general plan,... hearings
held...for the purpose of bringing zoning into consistency with the
general plan,...may be held at the same time as hearings held for the
purpose of adopting or amending a general plan, or any element
thereof....It is the intent of the Legislature, iri enacting this
section, that local agencies shall, to the extent possible,
concurrently process.applications for general plan amendments and
zoning changes which are needed to permit development so as to
e�edite processing of such applications."
To comply with the direction:of consistency between the zoning and the
general .plan, the Burlinqame zoning ordinance was amended in 1982 with
Section 25.04.080 which states in part:
Approval of a zoning, rezoning, variance or use permit pursuant to
this title shall be based on a finding that the approval is consistent
with the general plan...Applications for a zoning,_ rezoning, variance
or use permit shall be denied if found to be incons'istent with the
general plan....
Further, in 1984, motivated by the change in the state - planning law
requiring consistency betweeri the General Plam land use designations and
the zoning, staff did a comparative study of the land use designations and
zoning. For this study, which resulted in a series of general plan
amendments and rezonings, the following zones were determined to correspond
to the following land use designat.ions:

As a result when the property owner of 1128 Chula Vista Avenue came in and
requested to place a multiple family residential use on the site, without
any commercial use, staff looked at the following factors: -
a. The general plan designated shopping and service use (consistent
with C-1).
b. 'The site is zoned C-1.
c. The designation of the Broadway Center in the general plan did not
mention residential uses within •the area as a development objective or
policy.
d. Although at.the. edge of the Broadway Center area, there was no
dispute that this property was included in the Broadway-Center.
e. The proposed project is clearly a use consistent with the general
plan land use designation medium high residential and R-3 zoning; both of
which.are immediately adjacent to the site on the south.
On the basis of these facts, and the fact that.the State planning law
clearly directs consistency between the General Plan and zoning, staff
proposed that the applicant apply for a ger�eral plan amendment and rezoning
along with the use permit far the 4 unit residential condominium.
* Keeping the C-1 Zoning Designation
Since the C-1 zoning District,does allow multiple family residential uses
as a conditional use, the Planning Commission could determi�e that the C-1
district could be used to implement the medium high density residential
land use designation. If this were done, the determination would apply to
all areas designated medium high density residential in the General Plan.
It would mean that while this applicant does need a general plan amendment
for this project he would not need a rezoning. It would also mean that
while the applicant's zoning would allow commercial uses at this site, the
general plan would not. In other words if he wanted to build a commercial
use or mixed commercial residential use in the future, he would have to
amend the general plan again. In the end, retaining the C-1 zoning is not
givirig future users of this property the clearest message about City policy
regarding this site and could lead to just the kind:of misunderst-anding
that the legislature was trying to avoid with the consistency requirement.
*Another Approach
5/31/94
REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL"USE FOR
PROPERTY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.'
page,-4-
If from this disoussion it appears that the land use pol�icy for the
Broadway Center is not accurate, and if, in fact, to vitalize the area
residential uses within tlie area should be encouraged, then the Commission
should look at changing the text of the General Plan.. If the text stated
that residential uses were appropriate to accomplish the commercial goals
of the area, then the C-1 district is perfect for implementation and no
general plan amendments or rezonings are necessary for this proposed
project.
If the Commission should wish to pursue this alternative it canxiot be done
at the June 13, 1994 meeting addressing 1128 Chula Vista because the public
notice did not include changing the land use policy for the entire Broadway
Center. However, the item could be placed on a later agenda for
consideration. �
Given all the above considerations and the fact that the applicant is
interested in just the one property, it seemed prudent to ask for the
rezoning to R-3 as well as extending the medium high density residential
designation one lot to the north. Whichever way the determination.on the
appropriate implementing zoning goes, the decision on the general plan is
permanent. ,If the general plan land use designation is changed to medium
high.density �residential then commercial uses will not be allowed on the
property at 1128 Chula Vista in the future. The City Attorney did note
that all of these requested actions - negative declaration, general plan
amendment, rezoning and use permit for condominiums - could be acted upon
in a single motion. By this method if the residential project is not
acceptable then its denial will include denial of the negative declaration,
general plan amendment, and rezoning.

Commercial Uses -
Three complexes of commercial uses are.included in this plan: the Burlingame
Plaza Area, the Broadway center, and the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center.
In these centers of commercial.activity three general categories of commercial
uses are shown on.the plan diagram: Shopping and Service; Service and Special
Sales, and Office Use. In addition to the commercial uses in these three
centers of activity an additional category of commercial use, Waterfront-
Commercial, is indicated along most of the waterfront area.
Broadway Center. Dutlets in this center now proVide convenience goods
and consumer services for.residents in the general vicinity. Although
many of the.businesses he�e are well established and apparently:.successful
enterprises; better.circulation, more parking, and better .ucban design
would enhance tHis.center.. Separation of vehicuiar.and pedest,r:.ian
circulation and reduction..of through-traf.fic an Broadway is needed.
Recommendations for improving the traffic curculation pattern are
presented in the Circulation Element. These include a grade separation
for the raiiroad tracks.and .improvement of the Broadway-Bayshore: Freeway
interchange"to relieve traff.ic congestion at that point. Consideration �
should be given to creating a pedestrian precinct on Broadway. in:the
section between Caguna Avenue and Capuchino Avenue...Additional off-street
parking should be provided'to the rear of present business oratlets:
fronting on Broadway with access. to such lots from the neU� streets
indicated on the.plan diagram. F,n urban design plan should.be developed
for this center to.provide.more detailed guidance for future ch.enges.
Burli.nqan•e Avenue-Park Road Center. Th.is center includes outlets providi.ng
a wide cange of consumer goods and.services for Burlingame. residents
and �esidents of adjoining communities. It also includes business service
establishments, business and profiessional offices, civic 6uildings, and
some resi�ential uses. The following organization.of uses within the
center is recommended: shopping goods outlets should, in the main,.be
located along Burtingame Avenue and Park Road,in a pedestcian precinct;
convenience goods stores,`r.estaurants, and consumer service outlets should
not occupy ground level street .frontage space in the heart of the center
but should be in more peripheral loeations; the frontage of.the west side

� . LAND USE ELEMENT
� RESIDENTIAL
1. LAND USE ELEMENT
The land use element describes categories of uses,.indicates proposed land
us.e relationships and indicates proposed land use relationships end identifies
in.general terms actions needed to achieve community goals.
Fo� the purposes of this plan land uses are grouped in the following major
categories: Residential Uses, Institutions, Parks, Commercial Uses, Industrial
Uses, and Circulation. Each of these categories is discussed under a separate
heading in subsequent sections. These categories and sub-categories are shoUm
on the plan diagram which portrays �eneral relationships between the various
uses of land and between land uses and circulation facilities. The diagram
is not'intended to indicate exact boundaries or extent of the areas. In some
instances it may be appropriate for certain types of use areas to overlap so
that uses of different categories actually interpenetrate. This would be true
of office, shopping and service uses, and high density re.sidential uses when
buildings and sites are appropriately designed. -_--.
Residential Uses
Four categories of residential densities with the foltow.ing ranges of dweiling
units per net residential acre are included and shown on the plan diagram: low
density up to 8 dwelling uni:s per acre; medium density�9 to 20; medium.high
density 21 to 50; and high density over 50 dwelling units per acre.
An area northwest of the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road shop�ing center is
designated for high densit,y residential uses in recognition of its special
locational advantages. It has good access to aTl forms of transportation and
proximity to the major downtown area in Burlingame. The dominant building
type envisaged for this area is multi-sto ry apartment buildings.
Areas for medium high density residential uses are designated around the
periphery of the Burlingame Avenue-Park. Road center, arou�d the Broadway
shopping center, and as a part of the complex of activities in the Burlingame
Plaza area. In addition, the frontage along most of .E1 Camino Real� is included
in this category. The medium high density residential areas in many instances
provide a transition between highe� intensity uses and adjoining lower intensity
uses. The typical building type contemplated for the medium high density'area
is the two to three story apartment building but higher buildings would also
be appropriate.
N�edium density areas shown an the plan diagram would be occupied in the.main
by duplexes and one and two story garden apartment developments.
Low density areas with single-fami]y detached residences, occupy the remainder
of the City. For the most part existing low density residential areas are
well maintained and of good quality, requiring only that present zoning be
maintained to ensure protection for the useful life of the dwellings (20, 30
or more years).
F�
j LAND USE ELEMENT
COMMERCIAL
.
�
In addition, to augment fhe small sites of many of the existing !
neighborhood parks and elementa ry schools, aequisiti.on of adjoining
lots is recommended whenever such become available. In some instances r
street closings of very short sections of streets could be used to L
augment existing sites or to link schools and parks toget#�er.. In some
instances such closings would increase traffic safety,in. addition to r
providing very much needed park space. L
Commercial Uses .
Three complexes of commercial uses a re included in this plan: the Burling,ame �
.Plaza Area, the Broadway center, and the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center.
In these centers of commercial activity three general categories of commercial r
uses are shown on the plan diagram: Shopping and Service, Service and Special L
Sales, and Office Use. In addition to the commercial uses in these three
centers of activity an additional category of commercial use, Waterfront- �
Commercial, is indicated along most of the waterfront area. --
Burlinctame Plaza Area. This area includes outlets providing convenience
goods and consumer services to local residents and workers; the Peninsuia
Hospital and medical offices; and.other professional-administrative offices.
No changes are recommended in the pattern of uses presently established.
The visual quality of the shopping center should be improved and the
parking area serving the shopping center needs redesign and tree planting
to improve functional efficiency and appearance.
Broadway Center. Outlets in this center now provide convenience goods
_ and consumer services for residents in.the general vicinity. Although
many of the businesses here are well established and apparently successful
enterprises, better circu,lation, more parking, and better urban design
would enhance this center. Separation of vehiculzr and pedestrian
cireulation and reduction of through-traffic on Broadway is needed.
Recommendations for improving the traffic curculation pattern are
presented in the Circulation Element. These include a gr.ade separation
for the railroad.tracks and improvement of the Broadway-Bayshore Freeway
interchange to relieve traffic congestion at that point. Consideration
should be given to creating a pedestrian precinct on Broadway in the
section between Laguna Avenue and Capuchino Avenue. Additional off-street
parking should be provided to the rear of present business outlets
fronting on Broadway witn access to such ]ots from the ne�•� streets
indicated on the plan diagram. An urban desig� plan should be developed
' for this center to provide more detailed guidance for future changes.
Burlingame Avenue=Park Road Center. This center includes outlets providing
a wide range�of consumer goods and services for Burlingame residents
and residents of adjoining communit�ies. !t also includes business service
establishments, business and professional offices, civic buildings, and
some residential uses. The fiollowing organization of uses within the
center is recommended: shopping guods outlets should, in the main, be
located along •Burlingame Avenue and Park Road,in a pedestrian precinct;
convenience goods stores, restaurants, and consumer service outlets should
not occupy ground level street frontage space in the heart of.the center
but should be in more peripheral lo:.ations; the frontage of the west side

FROM:
PLANNING COMMISSION
CITY PLANNER �Qy� �� ��
SUBJECT: REQUIREMENT OF REZONING
RESIDENTIAL USE FOR PROPERTY
AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.
DATE: 5/31/94
WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR
ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA,
At the Planning Commission Study meeting on May 23, 1994 the Commissioners
asked that if the C-1 district allows residential development as a
conditional use, why is a rezoning to R-3 necessary for this proposed 4
unit residential project?
The properties zoned commercial (C-1) along Broadway and on the cross
streets between E1 Camino Real and California Drive have been designated in
both the General Plan and zoning ordinance as a special commercial area.
In the General Plan the area is called the Broadway Center. In the zoning
ordinance the area is called the Broadway Commercial Area. In both cases
the two areas include the same properties.
In the Land Use Element of the General Plan the uses in the Broadway Center
area are specifically called out and described. (General Plan page 12).
There is no mention of residential uses or of a policy to promote
residential uses within this sub-planning area. In 1984 the Broadway
Center was called out as the Broadway Commercial Area for specific zoning
regulation. At that time the definition of the area was mapped and defined
as being all the properties zoned c-1 fronting on Broadway and the side
streets intersecting Broadway; 1128 Chula Vista was clearly one of these
properties. (See map of Broadway Commercial Area).
The present C-1 zoning district allows, as a conditional use, residential
uses, either as the sole use of a property or as a mixed use with
commercial. The issue with the proposed 4 unit residential condominium at
1128 Chula Vista is not that the C-1 zoning will not allow a multiple
family residential development in the C-1 zone. Rather the issue is one of
consistency of zoning with the General Plan i.e. the zoning allows
residential uses and the General Plan does not.
The California Planning Law Government Code 65300.5, states that the
General Plan (land use map and elements) must be internally consistent.
This means that the map cannot say one thing in terms of land use and the
land use element say something else. In the case of our current plan, the
General Plan Map shows the Broadway Center as shopping and service
commercial use. The designation appears to be coterminous with the area
zoned C-1 on and adjacent to Broadway. The land use element description
discusses commercial uses exclusively; there is no reference or discussion
of maintaining or bringing residential units into the commercial area.

Section 65800 of the Government Code notes: "It is the purpose of this
chapter to provide for the adoption and administration of zoning laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations by counties and cities, as well as to
implement such general plan as may be in effect in any such county or
city". Section 65860 (a), goes on to state in part: "County or city
zoning ordinances shall be consistent with the general plan of the county
or city by January,l 1974.
The State code then addresses inconsistency and how to bring
inconsistencies into compliance in section 65862:
When inconsistency between the general plan and zoning arises as a
result of adoption of or amendment to a general plan,... hearings
held...for the purpose of bringing zoning into consistency with the
general plan,...may be held at the same time as hearings held for the
purpose of adopting or amending a general plan, or any element
thereof....It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this
section, that local agencies shall, to the extent possible,
concurrently process applications for general plan amendments and
zoning changes which are needed to permit development so as to
expedite processing of such applications."
To comply with the direction of consistency between the zoning and the
general plan, the Burlingame zoning ordinance was amended in 1982 with
Section 25.04.080 which states in part:
Approval of a zoning, rezoning, variance or use permit pursuant to
this title shall be based on a finding that the approval is consistent
with the general plan...Applications for a zoning, rezoning, variance
or use permit shall be denied if found to be inconsistent with the
general plan....
Further, in 1984, motivated by the change in the state planning law
requiring consistency between the General Plan land use designations and
the zoning, staff did a comparative study of the land use designations and
zoning. For this study, which resulted in a series of general plan
amendments and rezonings, the following zones were determined to correspond
to the following land use designations:
General Plan Land Use
Residential
low density
medium density
medium high density
high density '
Commercial
shopping and service
service and special sales

Office use C-3/C-4
Waterfront commercial C-4
e commercial recreation

. restaurants
Commercial residential C-R
Industrial and office use M-1/O-M
As a result when the property owner of 1128 Chula Vista Avenue came in and
requested to piace a multiple family residential use on the site, without
any commercial use, staff looked at the following factors:
a. The general plan designated shopping and service use (consistent
with C-1).
b. The site is zoned C-1.
c. The designation of the Broadway Center in the general plan did not
mention residential uses within the area as a development objective or
policy.
d. Although at the edge of the Broadway Center area, there was no
dispute that this property was included in the Broadway Center.
e. The proposed project is clearly a use consistent with the general
plan land use designation medium high residential and R-3 zoning; both of
which,are immediately adjacent to the site on the south.
On the basis of these facts, and the fact that the State planning law
clearly directs consistency between the General Plan and zoning, staff
proposed that the applicant apply for a general plan amendment and rezoning
along with the use permit for the 4 unit residential condominium.
* Keeping the C-1 Zoning Designation
Since the C-1 zoning District does allow multiple family residential uses
as a conditional use, the Planning Commission could determine that the C-1
district could be used to implement the medium high density residential
land use designation. If this were done, the determination would apply to
all areas designated medium high density residential in the General Plan.
It would mean that while this applicant does need a general plan amendment
for this project he would not need a rezoning. It would also mean that
while the applicant's zoning would allow commercial uses at this site, the
general plan would not. In other words if he wanted to build a commercial
use or mixed commercial residential use in the future, he would have to
amend the general plan again. In the end, retaining the C-1 zoning is not
givirig future users of this property the clearest message about City policy
regarding this site and could lead to just the kind of misunderstanding
that the legislature was trying to avoid with the consistency requirement.

REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL USE FOR
PROPERTY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.
page -4-
If from this discussion it appears that the land use policy for the
Broadway Center is not accurate, and if, in fact, to vitalize the area
residential uses within the area should be encouraged, then the Commission
should look at changing the text of the General Plan. If the text stated
that residential uses were appropriate to accomplish the commercial goals
of the area, then the C-1 district is perfect for implementation and no
general plan amendments or rezonings are necessary for this proposed
project.
If the Commission should wish to pursue this alternative it cannot be done
at the June 13, 1994 meeting addressing 1128 Chula Vista because the public
notice did not include changing the land use policy for the entire Broadway
Center. However, the item could be placed on a later agenda for
consideration.
Given all the above considerations and the fact that the applicant is
interested in just the one property, it seemed prudent to ask for the
rezoning to R-3 as well as extending the medium high density residential
designation one lot to the north. Whichever way the determination.on the
appropriate implementing zoning goes, the decision on the general plan is
permanent. If the general plan land use designation is changed to medium
high.density residential then commercial uses will not be allowed on the
property at 1128 Chula Vista in the future. The City Attorney did note
that all of these requested actions - negative declaration, general plan
amendment, rezoning and use permit for condominiums - could be acted upon
in a single motion. By this method if the residential project is not
acceptable then its denial will include denial of the negative declaration,
general plan amendment, and rezoning.

In addition, to augment the small.sites of many of the existin.g
neigh.borhood parks end:elementary schools; acquisition of ad�o'ining
lots is recommended whenever such 6ecome available: In some`instances
street alosings of very sho.rt sections of streets coul.d.be used to.-
augment existing sites ar to link.schools and parks toge,ther.; In some_
instances such closings would increase traffic safety in addition to
providing very much needed park space.
Commercial Uses
- Three complexes of commercial uses are included in this plan: the Burlingame
Plaza Area, the Broadway center, and the Burlingame Avenue-Park Road center.
In these centers of commercial activity three general categories of commercial
uses are shown on the plan diagram: Shopping and Service, Service and.'Special
Sales, and Office Use. In addition to the commercial uses in these three
centers of activity an additi.onat category of commercial use, Waterfront-
Commerciat, is indicated along most of the waterfront area.
Burlinqame Plaza Area. This area includes outlets providing convenience
goods and consumer services to local residents and workers; the P,eninsula
Hospital and medica] offices; and.other professional-edministrative offices.
No changes are recommended in the pattern of uses presently established.
The visual quality of the shopping center should .b`e.i�mproved.and fhe

to improve functional efficiency and appearance. --

Broadway Center. Outlets in this center now provide convenience goods �.
and consumer servicPs for.residents in the general-vi.cinity. Although �---°`'
many of the businesses here are well established and apparently successful
enterprises; better circulation; more parking, and b.etter .urban design
would enhance this.center. Separation of vehicutar and pedestr..ian
circulation and reduction..of through-traffic on Broadwey is needed.
Recommendations for improving the traffic curculation pattern are-
presented i�n the Circulation Element. These include a grade separation
for the raiTroad tracks encl improvement of the Broadway-Bayshore-Freeway
interchange to relieve traffic conaestion at that point. Consideration
shoutd be given to creating a pedestrian precinct on Broadway in the
section between Laguna Av,enue and Capuchino Avenue.. Additional off-street
parking should.be provided to the rear of pcesent business outtets
f ronting on Broadway with access to such ]ots from the neur streets
indicated on the.plan diagram. An urban design plan should.be deve]oped
for this center to provide more detailed guidance for future chenges.
Burlinqan�e Avenue-Park Road Center. This center includes outlets providing
a wide range of consumer goods and services for Burlingame residents
and residents of adjoining.communities. lt also includes business service
establishments, business and proTessional offices, civic 6uildings, and
some resi�ential uses. The following organization of uses within the
eenter is recommended: shopping goods outlets should,. in the main,.be
located along Burlingame Avenue and Park Road,in a pedestrian precinct;
convenience goods stores, r.estaurants, and consumer service outlets should
not occupy ground level street.frontage space in the heart of the center
but shoubd be in more peripheral locations; the frontage of the west side

CITY OF B URLINGAME
CONDOMINIUM PERMIT
Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Condominium
Permit and Tentative Map, for a 4 unit residential condominium.
Address: 1128 Chula Vista Avenue Meeting Date: 5/23/94
Request: Negative Declaration (ND 471-P), General Plan Amendment to
land use (C.S. 25.04.080), Rezoning from C-1 to R-3 (C.S. 25.04.080
and 25.16.020), Condominium Permit (C.S 26.30) and Tentative Map
(C.S. 26.08.020) for a four unit residential condominium project at
1128 Chula Vista Avenue, zoned C-1.
Applicant: Paul Gumbinger, Gumbinger and Associates
Property Owner: Borel/Poplar Developments APN: 026-191-190
Lot Dimensions and Area: 50' X 115' = 5750 SF
General P1an:Commercial, Shopping and Service Zoning: C-1
Adjacent Development: Commercial uses to the left of the subject
property and residential uses to the right of the property.
CEQA Status: See Initial Study and Negative Declaration
Backqround: In December of 1993 a mixed use development project,
consisting of 5 condominium units with retail commercial use on the
first floor and a portion of the second floor, was denied without
prejudice by the Planning Commission. The project included
variances for lot coverage and parking maneuvers and two exceptions
to the condominium criteria in the form of inadequate front yard
landscaping and substandard common open space square footage. The
denial without prejudice was upheld by the City Council and the
applicant was instructed that a redesign may be resubmitted to the
Planning Commission within three months. The applicant resubmitted
the present project on March 23, 1994 which was three months after
the Council action.
Current Project: The new proposal includes the following elements
and requests: Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment,
Rezoning the property from its existing C-1, first commercial
district (retail commercial) designation to an R-3, third
residential district (multiple family dwellings) designation,
Condominium Permit and Tentative Map. No variances or special
permits are being requested with this submittal.
The negative declaration, condominium permit and tentative map is
for a three story, 4 unit residential condominium project with 8
parking spaces at grade. The condominiums range in size from 1,193
�`'� SF to 1 301 SF and consist of
, parking on the ground floor; kitchen,
living/dining area, deck and half bath on the second floor; and two
bedrooms and two baths on the third floor.

[� �
CONDO.,GEN.PLAN AMENDMENT,REZONS
The condominium project meets all of the condominium criteria by
providing 76 SF of private open space per unit where 75 SF is the
maximum required and 750 SF of common open space where 400 SF is
the maximum required. Sixty-two percent of the front yard is
landscaped where 60% is required. One hundred percent of this area
is in soft landscaping where 50% is required. The building is 32'-
0" tall from average top of curb where 35'-0" is the maximum
allowable. A total of 8 parking spaces are provided, two as
visitor/guest spaces, and 8 are required.
Exhibit 1(attached) shows the property at 1128 Chula Vista Ave, as
the last commercially zdned parcel along Chula Vista Avenue. The
applicant would like to rezone 1128 to R-3, the same as the
adjacent developed.property, 1124 Chula Vista. The lot at 1124
Chula Vista Avenue is developed with a 4 unit apartment building.
The rest of the block of Chula Vista, to the south, is also
developed in multiple family uses.
The rezoning request requires a General Plan Amendment since the
general plan, land use map and zoning must be consistent. In this
case the medium density land use designation must be extended one
lot to the north on the east side of the street (see Exhibit 2).
The land use element does not need to be amended because the
proposed change is a single lot in a transitional location.
Excerpts from the general plan land use goals and objectives, as
well as, the commercial and multiple family residential portions of
the element support this conclusion.
The medium high density portion of the residential land use element
calls for two to three story apartment buildings. This project is
compatible with those guidelines and helps to maintain the buffer
zone between the commercial uses and the lower density residential
areas.
1128 CHDLA VISTA AVE.
The change in use is consistent with the commercial land use
element. The rezoning of a single lot will not change the intent
of the commercial land use element in the Broadway Avenue area and
will not interfere with existing circulation patterns or access to
consumer goods and services. The proposed residential condominium
will not increase parking impact along Broadway because it provides
its own parking on site to required code dimensions.

Staff comments: The Chief Building Official had no comments. The
Fire Marshall comments in his March 28, 1994 memo that the building
must be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system and the
sprinklers must be monitored by an approved central monitoring
station.
The Park Director comments in his April 14, 1994 memo that the
project will be required to meet all provisions of the
reforestation ordinance at the building permit stage.
NOTE: Previously the Planning Commission had asked for an arborist
report on the Walnut Tree, located in the city planter strip, for
the previously proposed mixed use project. The Park Director
notes, in his April 14, 1994, comments that arborist reports are
helpful for private trees that are impacted by development.
However, trees in the City right-of-way are handled by the Park
Department and, therefore, will be addresses at the time the
construction documents are submitted. The Park Director also
stated that the Walnut tree is not a particularly valuable
specimen.
The Associate Civil Engineer has several comments in his April 19,
1994 memo (attached) which will need to be addressed prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
