SPECIAL PERMIT FOR AN OE'FICE USE AT ROOSEVELT SCHOOL, 1151 VANCOUVER AVENUE, ZONED R-1, BY PENINSULA PARENT NEWSP�PER Reference staff report, 10/27/86, with attachments. CP Monroe reviewed details of the request, applicant's previous application to locate at Hoover School which was approved, code criteria for rental or lease of vacant school properties, staff review, Planning staff comments, applicant's letter, School District Superintendent's letter, study meeting questions. Five conditions were suggested for consideration at the public hearing. Discussion: school district guidelines for leasing vacant school property, city criteria for granting a special permit on such property; on-site parking available at Hoover School whereas the majority of available parking at Roosevelt School is on the street; applicant will use only one-half of the kindergarten building at Roosevelt; access to the restrooms for both units of this building will be required. Chm. Giomi opened the public hearing. Lisa Rosenthal, co-owner of Peninsula Parent newspaper, was present. Her comments: she lives only a block away from the school and would walk to work most of the time; this business is not technically a non-profit operation, profit margin is very small, applicants are involved with it as a public service, they are young parents themselves and feel there is a need for this type of publication; the low rent at Roosevelt School is attractive; r : i Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 October 27, 1986 since the paper is education oriented it seemed appropriate to their office in a school. Responding to Commissioner question, applicant reiterated they were not technically a non-profit organization; however, the cost of publishing, printing and distributing the paper leaves very little money left over from collected for subscriptions and advertising. ' d' locate that There were no'audience comments in favor. Speaking i.n opposition, Austin Welt, 1150 Vancouver Avenue (across the street from the school entrance]: tra�fic congestion on the street is very bad; he has not complained befo�e since he felt school uses were reasonable; his driveway has been blocked several times; object to a commercial use in a residential area where parking is already a groblem. In rebuttal, Marlene Douglas, co-publisher of Peninsula Parent, stated neither she nor Ms. Rosenthal'would park at the site, both live a block away; she also noted several'letters had been received in support of their enterprise at the ti;me of the application for space at Hoover School. There were no furthe� audience comments and the public hearing was closed. Commission discussion:``:another resident who lives across from the school entrance had told a Commissioner there was not too much of a problem; this Commission�r felt Mr. Welt had a legitimate concern, noted parking figures submitted by staff and suggested Condition #3 be amended to omit "if possib'ie" and require two spaces be designated for this business on site. Ava�'�lability of on-site parking while retaining space for childrens' play ar'�a was discussed. Further comment: every school'^;;on narrow streets should have a white unloading zone; impact of this'proposal would be less than the previous use in the kindergarten building'(staff pointed out the previous use occupied the entire 1,100 SF, it 'is un?cnown at this time what might go in the other half of the building);. this particular use of the site would pose much less of a parking p'roblem than a school type use with delivery and pickup of children, vol�inteers coming to the site, people parking illegally short term to run in^�,with their children; another school use on this site was approved th`is summer which increased the parking impact, two parking spaces could.be required on site for this use without comvounding on-site problems; regardless of how little, this is a profit.making venture, object to�`a commercial use in a residential zone; the special permit process`gives Commission a chance to evaluate a use, this oroposal could have leSs impact on the neighborhood; a commercial enterprise in a residential area violates the criteria, would not want to use the play area of the children to provide on-site parking. ,\ C. Jacai�s commented this is a small commercial ventuk.e and it will be limited by the conditions of approval; she added she i�ould like to see white zones painted at the site. C.

Victoria McCarthy, applicant, addressed Commission: oarents enter through the parking lot, door is left open'for them_._and there are stairs near the door leading to the second floor; in the�2-1/2 years she has been there no neighborhood complaints have been received•_,children are accompanied by their parents; there is more than adequate on=s.ite parking; permits have been granted to other schools in residential ar�s of the city; this is the only early music education program in the �ity; she is a professional musician with education in music and early cfi�ildhood education; the curriculum enhances students' self esteem and creativity.

Page 4 Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes October 27, 1986 There were no audience comments in favor. Speaking in opposition, Evelyn Harper, 832 Fairfield Road: she lives across the street from the rear entrance of the church; new young homeowners in this R-1 area have moved back to the neighborhood and invested in remodeling and improving their homes, in the block opposite the church on Fairfield there are 13 children from one to nine years of age who play in the street, she expressed concern about their safety, traffic on Fairfield is difficult; this proposal is a commercial venture and not what the people who purchased property in the area expected, it is out of character in that neighborhood; she has had cars parked in front of her house all day several times during the week, the driveway has never been blocked. This is a single family residential area and the efforts of new homeowners should be protected, retain residential and do not allow commercial ventures. Applicant responded �hat she could appreciate the concerns of the homeowners, especially if children play on the street; the pa.rents of her students enter from E1 Camino Real,;go into the parking lot and exit onto E1 Camino; it°.would seem the �ducational service she is offering would be a bene£it to young families in this neighborhood; her program meets most criteria for a non�profit organization, she is offering an educational service. The're were no further audience comments and the public hearing was.%closed. Commission discussion: church"faciiities and schools are conditional uses in the R-1 zone; this classroom use is for a limited amount of time per week particularly when'�ompared to other church uses which have been approved. With the statement she did not thin� this use would be detrimental to the neighborhood, it has bee��'in ope�,ation for 1-1/2 years and its hours are minimal, there is �o problem with the parking lots, C. Jacobs moved for approval of the special permit and for adoption of Commission Resolution Approving Speci�l Permits wit� the following conditions: (1) that the music classes for children aged one to seven shall be offered between the hour��of 10:00 A.M, and,4:00 P.M., Tuesdays through Fridays, not to exceed ,a' total of seven hours of classroom time planned a week and an average alass size of six pupil's, classroom use shall be limited to a 250 SF room on the second floor; (�2) that parents bringing students to classes �hall park in the off-street'�,church parking lots; (3) that recitals sh�ll be held on Saturdays with',coordination with the church to ensure th�re is no conflict with other ch�rch activities and adequate parking i� available; and (4) that this use�'permit shall be reviewed in Octobe'r, 1987 for compliance with the required conditions or sooner if a coinplaint is received. Second C. Leahy;`�notion approved on a 6-1 roll ca�l vote, C. H.Graham dissenting. Appeal procedures were advised. � 3.
