City of Buriingame
Environmental Scoping and Design Review
Address: 146 Crescent Avenue
Meeting Date: June 27, 2016
Request: Application for Environmental Scoping and Design Review for a new, finro-story single family dwelling.
Applicant and Designer: James Chu, Chu Design Associates
Property Owners: Raymond Wong
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 028-292-140
Lot Area: 6,148 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review: The subject property is located within the Burlingame Park No. 2 subdivision. Based
upon documents that were submitted to the Planning Division by a Burlingame property owner in 2009, it was
indicated that the entire Burlingame Park No. 2, Burlingame Park No. 3, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood
Park subdivisions may have historical characteristics that would indicate that properties within this area could be
potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. Therefore, for any
property located within these subdivisions, a Historic Resource Evaluation must be prepared prior to any
significant development project being proposed to assess whether the existing structure(s) could be potentially
eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places.
A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for this property by Page & Turnbull, Inc., dated February 12,
2016. The results of the evaluation concluded that 146 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually
eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria. Planning Staff will prepare an Initial
Study and Negative Declaration to support the findings of the Historic Resource Evaluation prior to the Planning
Commission Action Hearing for this project.
Project Description: The subject property currently contains a one-story single family dwelling with an attached
one-car garage. The subject property is located directly adjacent to Pershing Park.
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing one-story single family dwelling with an attached garage to
build a new, finro-story single family dwelling with a detached one-car garage. The proposed house and detached
garage will have a total floor area of 3,282 SF (0.53 FAR) where 3,298 SF (0.54 FAR) is the maximum allowed.
A proposed house will have four bedrooms and total of two off-street parking spaces are required, one of which
must be covered. The new detached garage will provide one covered parking spaces (10' x 20' clear interior
dimensions); one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code
requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Environmental Scoping for Negative Declaration, a determination that there are no significant
environmental effects as a result of this project; and
■ Design Reviewfor a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (1)).

The primary (south) fa�ade faces south towards Crescent Avenue. At left (west) is a canted bay window above a brick base with a
running brick bond and capped with a hip roof. The sliding window at center is flanked by six-over-one vinyi sash windows with
embedded mullions. All windows are set within wood surrounds. At center is a small entry porch raised on a concrete landing that
is accessed by two concrete stairs and a paved path from Crescent Avenue. The building's primary entrance is comprised of a
paneled wood door and a tripartite vinyl window system set within a wood surround. A large fixed window is flanked by two six-
over-one, double-hung windows with embedded mullions. The stucco cladding in this area is scored to resemble horizontal wood
siding, and the porch area features exposed rafters. The eastern portion of the fagade contains a wood paneled overhead garage
door.
The east fa�ade faces a paved side alley. The facade features a slightly projecting volume at its southernmost edge. This portion of
the fa�ade has a solid wood door and one wood frame, double-hung window. This volume is capped with a gable roof. The main
fa�ade plane contains (from left to right) another wood frame, double-hung window, an aluminum sliding window, and a partiafly-
glazed wood door. One additional aluminum sliding window is located below the main gable peak. Both the upper portions of the
projecting volume and the main facade plane have scored stucco siding. The northem portion of this fa�ade at the addition
terminates in a slightly overhanging roof eave with exposed rafter tails.
The north (rear) faces the backyard and features the exposed concrete foundation at grade. The fa�ade contains (from left to right)
a wood garage door, an aluminum slider window, and a smaller aluminum slider window at center. At right (west) is a fully-glazed
aluminum-frame sliding door, accessed via a wood deck and four wood stairs with wood railings and balusters. Below the gable
peak is a fixed, wood frame window with a metal louver vent above.
The west facade abuts the patio of the adjacent residence. The fa�ade contains (from left to right) four small, aluminum sliding
windows, a vinyl sash window, and a smaller vinyl sash window. The northern portion of the fa�ade at the addition features an
overhanging roof eave with exposed rafter tails. The portion of the wall below the gable peak contains scored stucco cladding.
The front yard contains a large lawn with bushes at the bay window and a driveway that leads ftom Crescent Avenue to the garage
door at the primary fa�ade. The side alley along the eastern property line is paved and extends to the rear yard. The rear yard
contains an open lawn, several small trees and a small seating area. The property is surrounded by a high chain-link fence to the
east and wood slat fences to the north and west.
Overall, the building appears to be in good condition.

Six building permits were located at the Burlingame Building Department, including the permit for new construction in 1952 (Permit
#H-223). In 1968, a permit was issued for termite and wood rot repairs to doors jambs (Permit #R-371). In 1977, a large addition
was designed for the rear of the house, during which they removed rear walls and windows of the existing building. The architecYs
name was not legible. The house was previously approximated to be 700 sf (current square footage is 1,530). The construction
was completed in 1979 (Permit #Y-60). In 1978, a permit issued for construction of a deck at the rear, approximately 20'x22'. The
rear addition permit was reissued in 1979, and in 1983, there was a permit for the installation of a solar passive water heater
system on the roof (Permit #6469). Windows at the primary and wesf facades were replaced at an unknown date. The front
windows appear to have been ali wood in the historic photograph from 1969 but were replaced with the vinyl windows by the time a
photo was taken in 1974 (See Figure 3).

Historic Context:
Citv of Burlinaame
The lands that would become the City of Burlingame were initially part of Rancho San Mateo, a Mexican-era land grant given by
Governor Pio Pico to Cayetano Arena in 1845. Over the next four decades, the lands passed through the hands of several
prominent San Francisco businessmen, including William Howard (purchased 1848) and Wil►iam C. Ralston (purchased 1856). in
1866, Ralston sold over 1,000 acres to Anson Burlingame, the US Minister to China. Following Burlingame's death in 1870, the
land reverted to Ralston and eventually to Raiston's business partner, William Sharon. Very little formal development occurred
during this period, with most of the land used for dairy and stock farm operations.
In 1893, William Sharon's trustee, Francis G. Newlands, proposed the development of the Burlingame Country Club as an
exclusive semi-rustic destination for wealthy San Franciscans. A railroad depot was constructed in 1894, concurrent with
small-scale subdivisions in the vicinity of Burlingame Avenue. (See Continuation Sheet)

610. Signifcance (conYd):
During this time, EI Camino Real acted as a de facto dividing line between large country estates to the west and the small village of
Burlingame to the east. The latter developed almost exclusively to serve the needs of the wealthy estate owners.
Burlingame began to develop in earnest with the arrival of an electric streetcar line between San Mateo and San Francisco in 1903.
However, the 1906 Earthquake had a far more dramatic impact on the area. Hundreds of San Franciscans who had lost their
homes began relocating to Burlingame, which flourished after the disaster with the construction of new residences and businesses.
Over the next two years, the village's population grew from 200 to 1,000. In 1908, Burlingame incorporated as a city, and in 1910
annexed the north adjacent town of Easton. The following year, the Burlingame Country Club area was also annexed to the City.
By 1920, Burlingame's population had increased to 4,107.
Burlingame Park Neiqhborhood
The house at 146 Crescent Avenue was constructed in the Burlingame Park neighborhood, one of three subdivisions (including
Burlingame Heights and Glenwood Park) created from lands that were formerly part of the San Mateo Rancho. The Rancho was
inherited by Joseph Henry Poett, sold to Anson Burlingame in 1866, and sold again to William C. Ralston after Burlingame's death.
Ralston began to develop plans for a residential park in this area as early as 1873. Initially, Ralston hired William Hammond Hall to
draw up a plan for an exclusive residential development to be called Burlingame Park.
Hal�'s early plan was never realized, but work began on the residential development in the 1890s under Francis Newlands.
Newlands commissioned Hall's cousin, Richard Pindell Hammond, Jr., to draw up a new plan for the subdivision. The plan
"centered on a communal country club and featured winding tree-lined roads, ample lots, and polo fields for the residents."� The
land was subdivided and the streets were laid out in May 1905 by Davenport Bromfield and Antoine Borel. The residential
neighborhood is located in close proximity to the Burlingame Country Club and the neighborhood was officially annexed to the City
of Burlingame in 1911.2
Burlingame Park, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood Park were the earliest residential developments in Burlingame and were
subsequently followed by Burlingame Terrace, Burlingame Grove, Burlingame Villa Park, and Easton. Burlingame Park is bounded
by County Road to the north; Burlingame Park, Crescent, and Barroilhet avenues to the east; Pepper Avenue to the south; and
Bellevue Avenue to the west. Sanborn Fire insurance Company maps indicate that Burlingame Park developed over a period of
about fifty years. Modest residences were constructed within the subdivision in the eariy years. The town of Burlingame
experienced a residential building boom in the early 1920s and the majoriry of the residences were constructed in the 1920s and
1930s. Thus, 146 Crescent was among the last properties constructed in the neighborhood, since by 1949, nearly all of the
approximately 250 lots in Burlingame Park were developed (See Sanborn map, Figure 1). Today, the neighborhood represents the
progressive development of the subdivision from the time it was first laid out in 1905, through the early twentieth century building
boom, to the present day. Most of the homes in the neighborhood are some variation of Craftsman or revival styles (often aitered)
and therefore the house at 146 Crescent Avenue is an atypical residential type.
146 Crescent Avenue
Construction of 146 Crescent Avenue was completed in June 1952.3 The original architect and contractor are unknown. Sixteen
years after construction, a permit was issued for wood rot repair of the doorjambs. In 1977 a permit was issued for substantial new
construction, removing the rear fa�ade's windows and doors and adding nearly twice as much useable area to the interior space.
This addition was completed in 1979. A permit was also issued during the construction period to add a large deck at the rear of the
house but this seems to not have been built, based on available photographs and records. Based on physical observation and
historic photographs, the building appears to have undergone several other alterations including replacement of wood windows at
the primary fa�ade. The iwo vinyl windows on the west fagade were appear to have been replaced, and the aluminum windows
were likely inserted around the time of the addition. Also, judging from the photos, the existence of the fence on the east side would
have prevented there being enough room for a full driveway there but the side alley was paved at an unknown point. Most likely,
the rear garage was never used as a drive-up garage.
Owner and Occupant History
Burlingame city directories list William A. and Pearl Nolte as the first occupants of 146 Crescent Avenue from 1956-61. However,
the first owners were John C. and Annie Eilers (1952 to around 1955), though the house appears to have sat vacant in its first few
years of existence. The first resident, William A. Nolte, was a clerk at the Santa Clara City Fire Department who passed away in
1960.4 In 1961, Pearl Nolte moved out. The owner of the property is unknown until 1965, though there is record of an A.M. and Sue
' Gray Brechin, Imperial San Francisco (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1999), 94.

Moeller living there for at least a year beginning in 1963. A. Moeller was an engineer at Guy F. Atkinson, a local construction firm.
In 1965 the property was purchased by Richard H. and Johnnie Bradley. Richard was an engineer at Southern Pacific Company.
He and his wife lived at 146 Crescent until 1970 at which point they rented the property to Betty and Theresa Toth (1968) and
Susan E. and Donald R. Dahlgren, a manager at MacGregor Sporting Goods (1971-72). The house then sat vacant for the
following year after which it was purchased by Stanley J. E. Lindquist, an Air Corps veteran, and his wife F. Lindquist. Stanley was
in the air force and worked as a mechanic and repairman of automobiles, at least in his early twenties.5 No further information was
discovered about the Lindquists or former owners of the property. The Lindquists lived at 146 Crescent Avenue from 1974 through
2014. In 2014, they created the Lindquist trust under Robert E. Lindquist and Ray S. Lingdquist. Ray Lindquist held it until February
2016, though it does not appear he inhabited the subject property. In February of 2016, Mr. Lindquist sold the family estate to
Raymond W.M. Wong, David Hong Yue Chan, Johnson Lin, Allen Tsz Tat Lee and Louis Changlo. At the time this report was
written, 146 Crescent Avenue was vacant.

Evaluation (Sianificancel:
The house at 146 Crescent Avenue is not currently tisted in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) or the
California Register of Historical Resources (California Register). The building does not appear in the California Historical
Resources Information System (CHRIS) as of 2012, indicating that no record of previous survey or evaluation is on flle with the
California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The City of Burlingame does not currently have a register of historic properties,
and therefore the property is not listed locally.
146 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion A/1
(Events) for its association with any events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional
history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. Constructed in 1952, the building does convey contextuai
significance as a single-family residence associated with the continued mid-century development of Burlingame Park, but it is not
among the earliest homes in the neighborhood, nor does was that period especially influential in the development of the
neighborhood. Therefore, the property does not appear to be individually eligible for listing under Criterion A/1.
146 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion B/2
(Persons). Research has not revealed any association with people significant in local, state or national history. Several residents

and owners were engineers, but none appear to be particularly influentiaf in the development of their industry or any other related
context. The Lindquists were long-time owners and occupants of the properiy, but research has not revealed them to be part of a
larger historic context. Research does not indicate that any former owners and occupants rose to a level of significance at the local,
state, or national level such that the property would be individually eligible for listing under Criterion B/2.
146 Crescent Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion
C/3 (Architecture) as a building that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The
architect and builder are currently unknown, so it cannot be said to be the work of a master at this time. The original portion of the
house is an example of a 1950s Ranch-style residence that was prevalent during that period with its gable roof, exposed rafter
tails, single level of living space, original windows and bay window in front. However, it is not a particularly outstanding or
distinctive example of Ranch style architecture in the Burlingame Park neighborhood, nor is this a representative or common
architectural style for the neighborhood. Therefore, the property is not individually significant for its architectural merit and does not
appear eligible for listing under Criterion C/3.
This property was not assessed for its potential to yield information important in prehistory or history, per National Register and
California Register Criterion D/4 (Information Potential). This Criterion is typically reseroed for archeological resources. The
analysis of the house at 146 Crescent Avenue for eligibility under Califomia Register Criterion 4(Information Potential) is beyond
the scope of this report.
Evaluation (Inteqritv):
The house at 146 Crescent Avenue has undergone extensive alterations, including the substitution of vinyl frame windows for
original wood frame windows and the major rear addition made to the house in 1979. There was a permit issued for a rear deck but
no visible proof of its existence, except for the small wood deck leading to a secondary entrance at the rear fa�ade. Though the
original portion of the house is still discernible and conveys some of the original design intent, alterations have compromised the
original massing and detailing. Overall, the building does not retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, given
the size and visibility of the 1979 rear addition and its intrusion on the original roofline. It confinues to be used as a single-family
residence within a universally residential neighborhood, and has not been moved. The site's landscaping has most likely changed
over the property's history, but the landscaped front, side and back yards remain intact overall. A chain link fence was added on
the eastern edge of the property after the house's construction, compromising a portion of its views and access on that side. The
encroachment of the house on the west side limits access to that fa�ade. However, the density of the houses and general design
characteristics within Burlingame Park remain. Therefore, the building retains integrity of setting, association, and location. For
these reasons, the building does not retain historic integrity.
Conclusion
The Ranch-style residence at 146 Crescent Avenue was constructed in 1952, one of the last additions to this residential
subdivision of Burlingame Park. The property underwent several alterations including a large rear addition and window
replacements. No significant events are associated with the property, nor is it considered to be an outstanding example of Ranch
style architecture, especially in the surrounding area. The Lindquists were long-time owners and occupants; however, neither they,
nor any other owners or occupants, appear to be have contributed to history in a significant way. As such, the California Historical
Resource Status Code (CHRSC) of "6Z" has been assigned to the property, meaning that it was "found ineligible for the National
Register, Califomia Register, or local designation through survey evaluation."6
