Applicant: Goodwill Industries, Ardis Jerome APN: 026-093-030 026-093-170 Property Owner: Don Sabatini Lot Dimensions 1215 Calif.-8,652 SF Zoning: C-2 and Area: 1109 Rhinette-4,950 SF General Plan: Service and special sales fronting California and medium high density residential on Rhinette. Adjacent Development: Gas station to north, Broadway commercial area and multiple family residential to west, city public parking lot to north. Faces California and CalTrain right of way. Half a block from Broadway train station. CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section 15301 Existing Facilities, Class 1, operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that previously existing including: (a) interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing and electrical conveyances. Previous Use: Auto repair and body work at 1215 California and outdoor storage yard at 1109 Rhinette Ave. Proposed Use: Retail sales area, support office, storage at 1215 California; parking lot and donation collection point at 1109 Rhinette. Allowable Use: Retail sales with related office, retail service, trade schools, auto repair and service on California; multiple family residential on Rhinette. Summary: Goodwill Industries, represented by Ardis Jerome, is requesting an 11 space parking variance to use 1215 California Drive for a 6,290 SF retail sales outlet with supporting office (1,220 SF), training room (330 SF) used by on -site employees of Goodwill, and a stock room (1,344 SF). For this project they also need a conditional use permit in order to provide a parking area on an adjacent lot zoned R-3 at 1109 Rhinette Avenue. A donation trailer with one employee assigned to it full time would also be located on the paved and fenced Rhinette lot along with the 11 parking spaces. The public can drop off donated goods there during store hours (10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily). The parking requirement for present proposal is 6,290 GSF of retail sales area (1:400 GSF/15.7 parking spaces), 1,220 GSF of office area (1:300 GSF/4.1 parking spaces), 300 GSF of training area for on site employees (1:300 SF/ 1.0 parking space, and 1,344 GSF of storage (1:1000 GSF/1.3 parking spaces); Condhlonal Pennir for Parking Arm in the R-3 Zane and a Parking Variance 1215 CaVornfa and II09 Rhlnute Ave. the total parking requirement for the Goodwill use would be 23 on -site spaces. The structure at 1215 California has been used for many years as an auto body and repair shop with no customer or employee required parking provided. Therefore the site is nonconforming in parking. The auto shop was 9,250 GSF and required 12 on -site parking spaces at the code required ratio of 1:800 GSF. Because the site is nonconforming in parking, and the use is changing on the site, the applicant is only required to provide on -site parking for the intensification of use from auto repair to retail/training (12-23 = 11 spaces). In this case, because the structure fills virtually the entice lot, the applicant cannot provide any parking on - site and is asking for a 11 space parking variance. However, he is offering mitigation by providing 11 parking spaces, designed to city standards, on the adjacent lot at 1109 Rhinette Avenue. The lot at 1109 Rhinette is in the same ownership as 1215 California. A use permit is required to provide the parking area on the Rhinette lot because it is zoned R-3. The donation receiving activity and donations trailer will also be located at the rear of the Rhinette lot adjacent to an existing wall. The wall is about 10 feet tall and 10 feet in from the rear property line. The wall encloses a portion of the rear of the site which is leased to the adjacent property fronting on Broadway. The enclosed area is used for an outdoor seating area for the restaurant on Broadway. There will be 1 employee manning the donation trailer during the hours the store is open. He/she will sort the goods donated and move some directly into the stockroom for immediate resale from the store. The remainder will be stored in the trailer to be taken for repair, cleaning etc. at another site. There will be 9 employees in the store, including two managers and 1 employee at the donation trailer; for a total of 9 on -site at any one time. The store hours will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Sunday hours may be shorter. Employees will work on -site and also be trained in service business skills in the training room by the on -site managers. Training courses will occur only during the hours that the store is open, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekdays. There will be no week end training sessions. The two lots at 1215 California and 1109 Rhinette cannot be merged to eliminate the variance and conditional use permit because they have different zoning and general plan designations. A merger would require a General Plan Amendment and a rezoning. Since the properties had been used in conjunction while the auto body shop was at this location (1215 California the site of the auto repair; 1109 Rhinette, outdoor storage), since they continue to be in the same ownership, and since the R-3 zone allows parking areas as a conditional use; requesting a parking variance and conditional use permit appear to be a viable procedural alternative to a general plan amendment and rezoning. It is important to note, however, that the two properties must be legally connected so that the 11 parking spaces remain on the 1109 Rhinette lot so long as 1215 California is used for retail sales, support office, on site employee training facilities and storage uses. Should the division of retail sales, office, training and storage areas change, the parking requirement would also change and the variance would need to be amended. The donation collection use is seen as a high turnover, drop-off activity incidental to the primary retail use on the site, occurring only on 1109 Rhinette, and no additional parking has been required for this use. All Goodwill Industries retail stores contain a training component. They have set aside 300 SF of the site to be used for training employees who work on this site. This area has been treated as office area -2- Cbndalmd Pe ft for Parking Aran in the R37. and a Parting Varla 1215 CalUbnda and II09 Rhkme Ave. for the purposes of calculating parking since it is intended to serve only employees on site. A use permit for classes was not required since trade schools are a permitted use in the C-2 zone. Proposed Existing Allowed/Req'd Setbacks Front Side No Change to building envelope Rear Disabled accessible ramp added at rear Height Disabled. accessible parking added Lot Coverage Size All other zoning requirements are met by the project. Staff Comments: City staff have reviewed this request. The City Engineer (September 11, 1995 memo) had no comments. The Chief Building Inspector (August 28 and September 11, 1995 memo) comments on the need to comply with the fire rating requirements for converting the space to retail sales as well as complying with current energy and disability accessibility requirements, including proper location of the disabled parking space and that all exits must be disabled accessible. The Fire Marshal notes that if the improvements to the structure exceed $75,000 or 20% of the replacement cost of the structure, the building must be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system. Planning staff would note that at other locations Goodwill has been asked by the community to provide English and other business classes to the public. If asked to do this in Burlingame in the future, they would apply for an amendment to this use permit at that time. It should also be noted that this variance and use permit will be conditioned that they will only be valid so long as the two properties remain in one ownership and the square footage of uses (6,290 SF retail sales, 1,486 SF office, 300 SF training, and 1,344 SF storage/stockroom) as shown on the plans date stamped September 15, 1995 remain unchanged. Study Questions Planning Commission reviewed this request at their study meeting on September 26, 1995 and asked several questions. In his memo of September 28, 1995 Dan Smith the applicant's architect notes that they intend to replace the roll up door at the front of the building and put in store front glazing (windows) the remainder of the facade will be repaired, there will be new signage and the whole repainted. There will be no change to the roof line. The existing cyclone fence will be fitted with either new slats or dark green mesh screening to make it more opaque. They suggest that the donations trailer can be screened from the outdoor eating area on the next property by increasing the height of the existing 10 foot wall surrounding the eating area. However they have not -3- Caadfdmd Pm Ufar ParMng Arm In the R-3 Zo and a Pad*g Vark= 1215 Cal(famia and 1109 Mdnme Ave. presented a design for the addition to the fence. A fence exception is required for fences or walls over 7 feet in height in the commercial zones. The present 10 foot tall wall was built many years ago and so is nonconforming. Finally the architect submitted diagrams showing how the semi -tractor trailers delivering inventory and the donations trailer will gain egress on the Rhinette lot to and from the rear of the retail site. He notes that there are several options for routing. They can :' (1) turn left form California into Rhinette, avoiding the 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. rush hour; (2) take a route from Broadway to Lincoln to Rhinette and thus avoid a left turn from California into Rhinette or Broadway to El Camino Real and back to California and turn right into Rhinette; or (3) exit via Millbrae and approach on California from the north. The bobtail vans would probably back into the lot and drive out forwards. He also notes that the donations trailer is moved less frequently, maybe once or twice a month. This trailer is 27'-28' long with a 10'-12' tractor. This trailer could be put into place before 7 a.m. from California into Rhinette. (See Diagrams in the staff report prepared by applicant.) The City Council will have to determine if meters should be placed on the Rhinette lot. Presently it costs 50 cents a day to park all day in the lot. If retail uses go in adjacent the Council may want to consider changing the lot from all day parking. The parking on the east side of the street is also 50 cents for all day. Presently, based on a parking study done by the applicant, the most cars found on the city's Rhinette lot during the study was 10 at 5:00 pm on a Friday. There are 26 parking spaces in the Rhinette lot. Across the street in the city lot adjacent to the CalTrain parking there are 55 spaces; the largest number used during the survey was 12. At staff's request the applicant counted parking spaces available in the vicinity between Friday, September 16 and Wednesday, September 20, 1995. The Table Parking Spaces Available During Proposed Store Hours Weekdays and Saturday, Goodwill, September 1995, shows what the parldng demand in the area from Rhinette south to a block past Broadway, west to Chula Vista and east to the city portion of the CalTrain parking area. There are a total of 222 parking spaces in the total area. At the time of the counts the lowest vacancy rate was 46% on Friday at noon; the highest vacancy rate was 76% on Friday at 5:00 pm. Parking demand is not, however, evenly distributed through the area. There is little parking available on Rhinette all the time. The city lots at Rhinette and on the east side of California are always under used, possibly because there is a charge for all day parking. Parking is clearly in high demand on the lower two blocks of Broadway as well. The toilets provided in the Goodwill store will be disabled accessible according to the requirements of the Uniform Building Code. The applicant told planning staff that almost all employees come to work by mass transit. If they drive they are required to park on the street. Findings for a Variance: In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (code Section 25.54.020 a-d): 13 Condicau! Permit for Parking Arm in fie R-3 Zone and a Panting Variance VARIANCE FINDINGS 1215 California and 1109 Rhfndu Am (a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved that do not apply generally to property in the same district; (b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship; (c) the granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience; and (d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses of properties in the general vicinity. Required Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020 a-c): SPECIAL PERMIT FINDINGS (a) the proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience; (b) the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general plan and the purposes of this title; and (c) the planning commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. The variance for 1215 California and the conditional use permit for 1109 Rhinette Avenue can be addressed at one public hearing since the uses are interdependent. Action on the variance and conditional use permit can be taken together. Affirmative action should include findings and should be by resolution. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated.

Per your request, this letter will explain the use of the meeting/training room, which will be used for employees of this store. Goodwill employs, trains and places people with disabling or disadvantaging conditions. This room will be used for: new employee orientation safety training sales and promotional activity training cashier, merchandising and customer service training general information e. g. first aid, Agency policy and procedures; how to handle difficult customers, etc. Because Goodwill is a transitional employer - each employee works for a period of time before being placed in the community, 3-18 months depending on their individual need, classes and training are repetitive and on -going. Call me if you need any further information at 415/575-2104. Thank you for your help.

The front of the building: the roll -up door will be replaced with storefront glazing, the remaining storefront will be repaired where needed, new signage will be added, and the entire facade will be repainted. 2. The fencing between the parking and the adjacent house will have enhanced screening with either new slats or dark green mesh screening added to the chain link. 3. The proposed donations trailor will be screened from the next door property by higher screening above the existing wood fence. 4. The circulation patterns of the delivery trucks and the donations trailor pick up are described in the accompanying diagram and memo to Keith Dellaway.

CA 94702 (510) 526-1935 Fax 526-1961 To: Keith Dellaway, Burlingame Traffic Engineering Dept, Date: 9-28-95 From: Dan Smith Re: 1215 California Goodwill Store - Variance Application Questions The following are in response to your question about the circulation patterns of the delivery trucks and the donations traitor pick up. Both the store stocking and and the more occasional donations trailer pick-up will take place prior to 10am store -opening when: the -parking- lot is empty of cars. The store stock will be delivered in "bobtail" delivery vans, 30' long, which are manuverable enough to be used for general pick-ups, even in residential areas throughout San Mateo County. There are several options for routing: 1) turn left from Calif. into Rhinette, avoiding the 7 to 9am rush hour, 2) take a route from Broadway to Lincoln to Rhinette and thus avoid a left turn from California into Rhinette (or Broadway to El Camino and back to Calif. and turn right into Rhinette, 3) or exit via Millbrae and approach on Calif. from the North. The bobtail vans would probably back into the lot and drive out forwards. The donations trailor is moved less frequently, perhaps once or twice a month. This is a small semi-trailor rig, with a 27'-28' traitor, with a 10- 12r tractor. The delivery of the trailer could well be timed for the before lam (or 9-10am) time slot from California into Rhinette. The accompanying diagram shows the turning radii of getting semi trailer into the parking lot, and into position at the rear. The semi would back into the lot.
