Planning Commission Action
At their meeting on October 10, 1995 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted 3-1-2 (C.
Jacobs dissenting and Cers. Ellis and Key absent) to approve the request with modifications to the
conditions. Since the motion failed to receive a majority of the total Commissioners appointed (4), the
motion to approve was denied. The request was for an 11 space parking variance for a retail sales use
'to replace an=auto repair shop at 1215 California and a conditional use permit to provide a parking aree'
for 11 spaces on an immediately adjacent lot at 1109 Rhinette zoned R-3. In taking their action the
Commissioners noted that the wall behind the restaurant fronting on Broadway was located on an easement
the use of which has been divided between the two properties; that the street is 26' wide not 36' and this
will limit the size of truck which can maneuver into the Rhinette lot; expressed concern about the amount
of activity on California at the intersections of Rhinette and Broadway which are so close together; asked
about landscaping and trees next to the city parking lot and ivy on the fence separating the adjacent
residential property from the retail use; expressed the need of a vegetative screen by the wall surrounding
the outdoor eating area of the restaurant; expressed concern about the possibility of trucks rerouting along
Laguna, a residential street, to gain better access with less impact on California and Broadway
intersection. The commission was asked to deny without prejudice, and so moved. This motion also
failed to get a majority of the Commissioners' votes.
BACKGROUND:
Goodwill Industries, represented by Ardis Jerome, is requesting an 11 space parking variance in order to
use the existing 9,200 SF building at 1215 California Drive for a Goodwill retail outlet. The building
would be divided into 6,290 SF of retail sales area, 1220 SF of supporting office area, 330 SF room for
on site training of employees (a key part of the Goodwill retail activity) and 1344 SF for a stock room.
While there would be some interior remodel, the footprint of the existing building would not be changed
except for a disabled accessible ramp at the rear. The parking requirement for the facility is 23 spaces.
None are provided on site. However, the present auto body and repair shop is a nonconforming use (i.e.,
no parking is provided on site) and the new use is allowed to deduct from its requirement the 12 parking
spaces required for the auto body/repair use because that use has been there before on site parking was
required. Thus the parking requirement for Goodwill is the 11 spaces created by the intensification of the
new use (retail sales) on the site.
Goodwill Industries is also requested an conditional use permit in order to use the adjacent property at
1109 Rhinette to provide 11 parking spaces to mitigate the absence of parking on site for the new
intensified retail use at 1215 California. Both properties are in the same ownership. A conditional use
permit is required for a parking area in the multiple family residential zone (R-3).

In addition to parking on the Rhinette site the applicant proposes to put a donations trailer, manned by one
employee, on the site. Since the building at 1215 California backs on to the Rhinette lot, all deliveries
will occur from the rear of the site on the Rhinette lot. The applicant proposed to fence the Rhinette lot
off from the city parking lot at the corner of Rhinette and California. They also plan to put a fence
between their Rhinette lot and residential use to the west.
The Goodwill store will employee 9, including 2 managers and 1 employee at the donations trailer who
will also assist in the stock room. Store hours will be 10 a.m. to S Vim. daily. Sunday hours may be
shorter. Employees will work on -site and also be trained by the on site managers in service business skills
in the training room. Training sessions occur during the regular business hours of the store. There are
no week end training sessions. Goodwill expects their peak customer times to be week ends between
10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
The Planning Commission Staff Report, October 10, 1995, includes a parking availability study completed
by Goodwill staff between Friday September 16 and Wednesday, September 20, 1995. This study showed
that the lowest parking vacancy rate was 46% on Friday at noon and the highest vacancy rate was 76%
on Friday at 5:00 p.m. The most available areas for parking were on the CalTrains right of way across
the street (northeast corner of California and Broadway) and the city lot at Rhinette and California.

Summary:
Goodwill Industries, represented by Ardis Jerome, is requesting an it 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);
Candidonal Pemifl for ParAM8 Area in fie R-3 Zone and a Parking Varlwwe 1215 Caljfnmla and 1109 Rldneae 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 entire 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

for the purposes of calculating parking since it is intended to serve only employees on site. A use permit

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-
1
CmMonal Pernik for Parkiag Area /n the R.4 Zone and a Parking Variance 1215 California and 1109 RNneae 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 parking
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

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. The following conditions should be considered at the public hearing:

a. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable M your
property which do not apply to other properties in this area.
Do any conditions exist on thi? site which make other the alternatives to the variance Impracticable or
impossible and are also not common to other properties in the area? For example, is there a creek cutting
through the property, an exceptional tree specimen, steep terrain, odd lot shape or unusual placement of
existing structures? How is this property different from others in the neighborhood?
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right and what unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship
might result from the denial of the application. -
Would you be unable to build a project similar to others in the area or neighborhood without the exception?
(i.e., having as much on -site parking or bedrooms?) Would you be unable to develop the site for the uses
allowed without the exception? Do the requirements of the law place an unreasonable limitation or hardship
on the development of the property?
C. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious
to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare, or
convenience.
How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those
properties? If neighboring properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting,
paving, landscaping sunlight/shade, views from neighboring properties, ease of maintenance. Why will the
structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or general welfare?
Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater
systems, water supply safety, and things which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., underground
storage tanks, storage of chemicals, situations which encourage the spread of rodents, insects or
communicable diseases).
Public safety. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection? Will alarm
systems or sprinklers be installed? Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need
for police services (i.e., noise, unruly gatherings, loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use
flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous activities like welding, woodwork, engine removal).
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's
policy and goals for conservation and development? Is there a social benefit?
Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or
parking for this site or adjacent sites)? Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as
the elderly or handicapped?
d. How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character
of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity?
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhood? If it does not
affect aesthetics, :state why. If changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match
existing architecture or pattern of development on adjacent properties in the neighborhood? If use will affect
the way a neighborhood/area looks, compare your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it "fits".
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no
change to structure, say so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation etc. with
other structures in the neighborhood or area.
How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood? Think of
character as the image or tone established by size, density of development and general pattern of land use.
Will there be more traffic or less parking available resulting from this use? If you don't feel the character of
the neighborhood will change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare
your project with existing uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity,
and/or state why your project would be consistent with potential uses in the vicinity. 12re2 v.N.

2. How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame General

Ask the Planning Department for the general plan designation and zoning district for the proposed project site. Also
ask for an explanaticn of each. Once you have this information, you can compare your proposal with the stated
designated use and zoning, then explain why this proposal would 'fit" accordingly.
3. How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of the
existing neighborhood and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity?
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhood? If it does not affect
aesthetics, state why. If changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match existing
architecture, pattern of development on adjacent properties in the neighborhood? If a use will affect the way a

and explain why it "fits".
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change

RE: Proposed Goodwill Store PLANNING DEPT,
1215 California, Burlingame
The proposed plan, revision dated 9114/94 from DSA, includes a 300 square foot
Employee Training/Meeting room, a 100 square foot office and the area for Retail has
increased.
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 4151575-2104. Thank you for your help.

The following are in response to the Planning Commissioners questions:
1. 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.

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 trailor pick up.
Both the store stocking and and the more occasional donations trailer
pick-up will take place prior to loam- 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' trailor, with a 10-
12' tractor. The delivery of the trailer could well be timed for the before
lam (or 9-10am) time slot from California into Rhinette.
De 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.
