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 7/18/94 SECOND READING OF AVENUE FROM C-1 RESIDENTIAL. page -2- ORDINANCE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 1128 CHULA VISTA BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA TO R-3 MEDIUM DENSITY 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.

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. � Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes June 13, 1994 � , �� 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 noted that it``'was rezoned. with conditinns in an eff� property in-a reasonable way in accordance with adjace and the zoriing code.

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 ,}�' x 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.

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. 3 „ • , , � 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 4 M 0 CONDO.,GEN.PLAN AMENDMENT,REZONS 1128 CHDLA VISTA AVS. 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, the Park Director's memo dated April 14, 1994 shall be met; 5 m CONDO.,GEN.PLAN AMENDME27T,REZONE 1128 CHULA VISTA AVE. 3) that the final inspection shall be completed and a certificate of occupancy issued before the close of escrow on the sale of each unit; 4) that the developer shall provide the initial purchaser of each unit and to the board of directors of the condominium association, an owner/purchaser manual which shall contain the name and address of all warranties and guarantees of appliances and fixtures and the estimated life expectancy of all depreciable component parts of the property, including but not limited to the roof, painting, common area carpets, drapes and furniture; 5) that the project shall meet: all federal access standards, all other requirements of the Burlingame Municipal Code and the Uniform Building Codes and Uniform Fire Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame; 6) that the parking garage shall be designed to city standards and shall be managed and maintained by the condominium association to provide parking at no additional fee, solely for the condominium owners and their guests, and no portion of the parking area and aisles shall be converted to any other use than parking or used for any support activity such as storage units, utilities or other non-parking uses; and 7) that for the protection of pedestrians a silent auto warning system shall be installed at the access/egress to the parking area at a location approved by the City Engineer. Leah Dreger Zoning Technician cc: Paul Gumbinger, architect Borel/Poplar Developments, property owners C� � 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. 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. �� c�� �R��� � �, �� Si na ure of Processing Official Title Date Signed Unless appealed within 10 days hereof the date posted, the determination shall be final.

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. Paul J.

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. 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL IISE FOR PROPERmY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA. page -2- 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: General Plan Land Use Residential low density medium density medium high density high density ' Commercial shopping and service service and special sales Zonina R-1 R-2 R-3 R-4 C-1 C-2 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF PROPERTY ZONED page -3- REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL USE FOR C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA. Office use Waterfront commercial . commercial recreation . hotels/motels . restaurants Commercial residential Industrial and office use C-3/C-4 C-4 C-R M-1/O-M 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. , *Another Approach � 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF PROPERTY ZONED page -4- 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. M/s REZNaPA&.23 � �,e�.�� ��. � .

In 5ome . in�tances 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- 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 12 'I'HH PLANNING AND ZOIvING LAW �� a(%��,�,y� � C ��� j�3 �V UUU�j,��� Aufhority to perform funcdons: entry onto "prlmt� tand Public officials tn furnlsh plaaning ngency with aNaila6le tnfonnatton 65105.

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 12 , , yv t • MEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING DEPARTMENT FROM: CITY ENGINEER DATE: APRIL 19, 1994 RE: CONDOMINIUM PERMIT FOR 4 UNITS, TENTATIVE CONDOMINIUM MAP AND TENTATIVE AND FINAL PARCEL MAP FOR LOT COMBINATION PURPOSE - RESUBDIVISION OF LOTS 20, BLOCK 1, MAP OF 1128 CHULA VISTA AVENUE - EASTON ADDITION NO. 1, PM 94-2 CONDOMINIUM PERMIT I have the following comments which need to be addressed prior to any action.

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 r t 7/5/94 NEGATIVE DECLARATION, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING, RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM PERMIT, AND TENTATIVE MAP FOR A 4 UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM AT 1128 CHULA VISTA AVENUE, ZONED C-1 BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA page -3- 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: 7/5/94 NEGATIVE DECLARATION, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING, RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM PERMIT, AND TENTATIVE MAP FOR A 4 UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM AT 1128 CHULA VISTA AVENUE, ZONED C-1 BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA page -4- 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.

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 prop,erty. 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 1I28 CSULA VZSTA AVS. parking on site to required code dimensions.

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. 3 r I i � �� 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 4 t ,� � � CONDO.,GSN.PLAN AMENDXENT,RSZONS II28 QiUZA VISTA AVS. 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; 5 � L � t e: A u.

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. + � � � u , �o �� Si na ure:of Processing Official ��� `� �, �� Title Date Signed Unless appealed within 10 days hereof the date posted, the determination shall be final.

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. Paul J. Gumbmger.

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. r �- �i 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF PROPER�I'Y Z�ONED page -2- 1 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 high density ' Commercial shopping and service service and special sales Zonina R-1 R-2 R-3 R-4 C-1 C-2 5f 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 -3- � \ , Office use " Water.front commercial . commercial recreation . hotels/motels . restaurants Commercial residential Industrial and office use C-3/C-4 C-4 C-R M-1/O-M 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. , *Another Approach � , � 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF PROPERTY ZONED page.-4- 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 ' 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). 0 /ry � ' 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 L. � C 12 a � ��p * �'' MEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING DEPARTMENT FROM: CITY ENGINEER DATE: APRIL 19, 1994 RE: CONDOMINIUM PERMIT FOR 4 UNITS, TENTATIVE CONDOMINIUM MAP AND TENTATIVE AND FINAL PARCEL MAP FOR LOT COMBINATION PURPOSE - RESUBDIVISION OF LOTS 20, BLOCK l, MAP OF 1128 CHULA VISTA AVENUE - EASTON ADDITION NO. 1, PM 94-2 CONDOMINIUM PERMIT _ I have the following comments which need to be addressed prior to any action.

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.

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 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 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. _. __ Front Stbk Side Stbk Left PROPOSED (lst): 15'-0" (2nd): 15'-0" (3rd): 15'-0" (ist): 5'-5" (2nd) : 6' _0�� (3rd): 7'-1" ALLOWED/REO'D 15'-0" 15'-0" 15'-0" 5'-0" 6'-0" 7'-0" Side Stbk Right (1'st): 5'-5" (2nd): 6'-0" (3rd): 7'-1" 5'-0" 6'-0" 7'-0" � , CONDO.,GSN.PLAN AXSNDXENT,RSZONS Rear Stbk (ist): (2nd) : (3rd): Lot Coverage .

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. 3 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 CONDO.,GEX.PLAN a9PISNDXENT,RSZONS 1128 CHULA VISTA AVS. 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, 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 Comm�ssioners 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, the Park Director's memo dated April 14, 1994 shall be met; 5 CONDO.,GSN.PZAN AXE2TDMHNT,REZONS 1128 CHIILA VISTA AVS. 3) that the.final.inspection shall be completed and a certificate of occupancy issued before the close of escrow on the sale of each unit; � 4) that the developer shall provide the initial purchaser of each unit and to the board of directors of the condominium association, an owner/purchaser manual which shall contain the name and address of all warranties and guarantees of appliances and fixtures and the estimated life e�ectancy of all depreciable component parts of the property, including but not limited to the roof, painting, common area carpets, drapes and furniture; 5) that the project shall meet: all federal access standards, all other requirements of the Burlingame Municipal Code and the Uniform Building Codes and Uniform Fire Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame; _-- 6) that the parking garage shall be designed to city standards and shall be managed and maintained by the condominium association to provide parking at no additional fee, solely for the condominium owners and their guests, and no portion of the parking area and aisles shall be converted to any other use than parking or used for any support activity such as storage units, utilities or other non-parking uses; and 7) that for the protection of pedestrians a silent auto warning system shall be installed at the access/egress to the parking area at a location approved by the City Engineer. , Leah Dreger Zoning Technician cc: Paul Gumbinger, architect Borel/Poplar Developments, property owners C CITY OF BIIRLINGAME 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. f � 0 �t�c:� C�� �F���1Z_.. �� .Z�?

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. '� Poul J.

Very truly yours, CITY OF BURLINGAME 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. 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF PROPERTY ZONED page -2- 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: General Plan Land Use � Residential low density medium density medium high density high density ' Commercial shopping and service service and special sales Zonina R-1 R-2 R-3 R-4 C-1 C-2 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF PROPERTY ZONED page -3- REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN,AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIP;L USE FOR C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CHULA VISTA.' Office use � Waterfront commercial . commercial recreation . hotels/motels . restaurarits Commercial residential Industrial and office use C-3/C-4 C-4 C-R M-1/O-M 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.

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 12 C MEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING DEPARTMENT FROM: CITY ENGINEER DATE: APRIL 19, 1994 RE: CONDOMINIUM PERMIT FOR 4 UNITS, TENTATIVE CONDOMINIUM MAP AND TENTATIVE AND FINAL PARCEL MAP FOR LOT COMBINATION PURPOSE - RESUBDIVISION OF LOTS 20, BLOCK 1, MAP OF 1128 CHULA VISTA AVENUE - EASTON ADDITION NO. 1, PM 94-2 CONDOMINIUM PERMIT I have the following comments which need to be addressed prior to any action.

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. r 5/31/94 REQUIREMENT OF REZONING WITH GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL USE FOR PROPERTY ZONED C-1, BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREA, AT 1128 CFiULA VISTA. page -2- 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 Zonina R-1 R-2 R-3 R-4 C-1 C-2 0 0 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 -3- Office use C-3/C-4 Waterfront commercial C-4 e commercial recreation , hotels/motels . 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. *Another Approach 0 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 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.

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.

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.

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 12 - T:IE PLANNING AND ZONING LAW � � d l-C- � Q�!

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. 1 [� � 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.

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. 3 � � �- ..
