Applicant: Albert Aubry, Tresser's Towing APN: 026-111-010

General Plan: Service and Special Sales
Adjacent Development: freeway, office/warehouse uses

Summary:
Albert Aubry, representing Tresser's Towing, is requesting a
special permit for automobile storage at 868 Burlway Road #200,
zoned M-1 (CS 25.43.030-17, 18). The towing company has had a
business license with the City of Burlingame since 1988 for towing,
but not for storage. According to the applicant, the company began
storing automobiles at this site about two years ago. The City did
not know of the automobile storage until the Planning Department
recently processed a special permit and parking variance
application for a traffic school.
This business is located in a building with five other
addresses/tenant spaces. The office portion of this particular
tenant space was sublet to Orchid Gallery and Custom Design, a
clothing design company, however, it is currently vacant. The
warehouse portion of this tenant space is used for indoor storage
of automobiles towed from the streets of Burlingame. Indoor
storage is typically reserved for vehicles involved in a crime or
those which would otherwise be targeted for crime if left outdoors.
Outdoor storage currently occurs on the unpaved area between the
building and side property line.
Tresser's Towing has no employees working at the site. Tow truck
drivers would be on site as needed to drop off towed vehicles or to
tow unclaimed vehicles to San Mateo for dismantling. In addition,
a Tresser's employee occasionally meets at the site with vehicle
owners claiming their cars.
The tow trucks are stored at the company's site at 120 S. Amphlett
Boulevard in San Mateo. All dismantling is done at the San Mateo
site. No dismantling is done at 868 Burlway.

This tenant space was previously used for storage for a painting
contractor. The change in use to automobile storage does not
affect parking requirements, although a special permit is required
for this particular type of storage. Al1 other zoning code
requirements have been met.
Backqround:
There are six addresses at this site: 858, 858A, 860, 864, 866 and
868 Burlway Road. In June, 1993, the Burlingame Planning
Commission approved a special permit and nine-stall parking
variance for traffic school classes at 866 Burlway (refer to letter
of approval and partial staff report). Classes take place on
weekday nights and on the weekends, with a maximum of 40 students.

Staff Comments:
The City Engineer requested that all parking areas be paved and
that all parking drainage be filtered through on-site catch basins.
Due to the proximity of the creek, the catch basins will be
required to have petroleum absorbent pillows which would be
maintained by the applicant.
The Building Official and Fire Marshal both noted that 1-hour fire
separation is required between the auto storage area and other B-2
occupancies in the building. In addition, they both noted that
adequate ventilation for the storage area be provided in accordance
with the Uniform Building Code.
Required Findiaqs 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):

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;
(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.
Planninq Commission Action:
The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative
action should be taken by resolution. The reasons for any action
should be clearly stated. At the public hearing the following
condition should be considered:
1. that automobile storage occur only within those areas as noted
on plans submitted to the Planning Department date stamped
September 9, 1993 and that no automobile dismantling occur at
this site;
2. that the conditions of the City Engineer's memo (9/30/93) be

every other Sunday from 8:OOam to 4:OOpm. The maximum number of
students expected to attend during one class is 40 with one

Staff Comments: The Chief Building Official and the Fire Marshal
had similar concerns about exiting stated in their memos dated May
17, 1993. On May 24, 1993 the Fire Marshal went out to 866 Burlway
Road to field check the exiting from the second floor. Based on
field observation his concerns and those of the Chief Building
Official were alleviated. The Fire Marshal made one additional note
that there must be a clear exit to the street from the exterior
exit stairs. The City Engineer comments in his May 17, 1993 memo;
that since�'this business occurs after normal working hours, he has
no concerns about the parking impact.
Study Meetinq: At the June 14, 1993 Planning Commission Meeting the
Planning Commissioners had comments and questions regarding this
project (see P.C. Minutes, June 14, 1993).
The other tenants hours were included in the original report. The
tenants under the following addresses are all located in the same
building as 866 Burlway: 858, 864 and 868 who have tenants
occupying them at this time and 858 A and 860 which are vacant at
this time. Please see the 'List of other tenants in building' for
their type of business and hours of operation. The present tenants
at 858 and 864 Burlway rely on Saturday business hours for portions
of their business activities.
The property owner is out of town and unavailable for an answer to
whether he would be willing to prohibit Saturday hours for the two
empty tenant spaces.

Dear Ms. Dreger/�lanning Cc�ission:
. , a` �i:•��-.�;
. . . . . t 1 �� : �1
Prior to yaur review of our application, I'd like to explain our
intentions.My company provides all facets of traffic school operations to
schools contracted with us. I obtain the leases, hire and train the
employees, and basically handle all day to day operations. In the City of
Burlingame, we found that the 866 B;�rlway prroperty offerred an opportunity
to lea�e large, spacious offices to conduct our traffiuc school classes.
As our main administrative offices are in other p.�rts of the state, we
oniy needed the Burlingame facility on a very par�-time basis, thus only
folding chairs and c_zalkboards were rtoved in, 'i�iere is no need for
telephones or equipment, as the only reason we lease the site s�ems from
the savings over sirlply renting hotel meeting rooms (ie. Foster City
Holida�� Inn) for the same use.
��ur classes around the state and in your city are held 95 o of the time on
Saturdays. 4 o are held on Sundays and weeknights, and lo are held on
weekdays. In Burlingame our use will be limited to every Saturday, every
other Sunday from 8 am -4pm, and two nights a week twice a month fra-n 6pm
-lOp�n. Oar students are affluent, educated, insured drivers, who are
controlled by highly trained and professional teachers. The schools we
represent attract mostly professional people. T�riere are never problems with
theft, vandalisM, or noise., Each school is licensed and regulated by the
State DF�partment of Motor V�:hic�.es, so quality is basically assured.
If parking is a concern, please look at the adjoing parking lot(s) and the
more than adequate Barlway street parking. Remember, these classes are
always after norn�i working ahours and on weekends.
Please review our ap�lication and allow us to conduct quality educational
traffic safety classes in Burlingame as we do .in .30 other cities in the
state.

Hardy Warren
