Variance for Front Setback
Address: 2301 Valdivia Way
Request: Variance for front setback to a first floor porch addition.
Item #
Consent Item
Meeting Date: 8/27/07
Property Owners: Ralph and Linda Wondra APN: 025-182-250
Applicant and Architect: James McFall Lot Area: 31,285 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1(e)(1) - additions
to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of
the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Summary: The existing single-story residence with a detached two-car garage contains 3618
SF (0.12 FAR) of floor area and has four bedrooms. The applicant is proposing a new front
porch that will be located 11'-6" from the front property line. The required front setback is
either 15'-0" or the average of the block, whichever is greater. In this case, the required front
setback is 15'-0" because the average of the block is 13'-11 ". A front setback Variance is
required (11'-6" proposed where 15'-0" is the minimum required).
With the proposed addition, the floor area will remain 3618 SF (0.12 FAR). The floor area
will not increase because all of the new covered front porch area is exempt from FAR.
Although this is an unusually large lot, the maximum floor area allowed is 8,000 SF because
that is the maximum size permitted for single-family residences in Burlingame. There is no
change to the number of existing bedrooms (4) with the proposed front porch addition. Given
the dimensions of the driveway, both required on-site parking spaces are covered. The
existing two-car garage (20'-2" x 31'-4" exterior dimensions) is existing nonconforming in
parking space width. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is
requesting the following:
• Front Setback Variance for a first floor porch addition (11'-6" proposed where 15'-0"
is minimum required) (CS 25.28.072).

Varrance for Front Setback
2301 valdivin Way
Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission study meeting on August 13, 2007, the
Commission had comments regarding the project and placed this project on the Consent
Calendar when the requested revisions had been made (August 13, 2007 Planning
Commission Minutes). The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans, date
stamped August 15, 2007. Listed below are the Commissions' comments and responses by
the applicant.
1. Specify material of porch columns on plans.
The plans have been revised to include a note that the porch columns will be wood
with a paint finish (revised elevation, Sheet A.2, and response letter from architect
date stamped August 15, 2007).
2. Move the depth of the porch from 7'-8" to 6'-0" to reduce projection into front yard.
• The depth of the porch has been reduced to 6'-0" as requested, reducing the front
setback Variance request to 11'-6" (revised floor plan, Sheet A.2, and response letter
from architect date stamped August 15, 2007).
3. A condition should be added that this Variance should become invalid if the
structure is ever removed.
• A condition of approval has been added as requested by the Planning Commission.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a Variance for the front setback, the
Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code
Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(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 an potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.
�
Variance for Front Setback
2301 Valdivia Way
Findings for Front Setback Variance: It is a goal of the Design Guidelines to encourage
front porches on single family houses throughout the city; that the weathering of the front
door area shows there is a need for a front porch; that there is a hardship on the property
given the slope in the rear that pushes the house towards the front; that the encroachment of
the new covered front porch into the required front set�aack will not be detrimental to other
properties in the vicinity because the property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac; and that
the porch is consistent with the existing style of the house. Based on these findings, and the
findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's August 13, 2007, study
meeting, the project is found to be compatible with the Variance criteria listed above.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing.
Affirmative action should be by resolution and should include findings made for a Variance
for front setback. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated. At the public hearing
the following conditions should be considered:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning
Department date stamped August 15, 2007 (sheets A1 through A3) and that any
changes to building materials, exterior finishes, footprint or floor area of the building shall
require an amendment to this permit;
2. that the front setback Variance of 11'-6" shall only apply to the proposed front porch to
as shown on the plans date stamped August 15, 2007; that the front porch shall never
be enclosed for habitable space; and that the front setback variance shall become
void if the front porch is ever removed;
3. that the conditions of the City Engineer's July 9, 2007 memo, the Chief Building
Official's July 3, 2007 memo, the Fire Marshal's July 5, 2007 memo, and the NPDES
Coordinator's July 6, 2007 memo shall be met;
4. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving
on the site shall not occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work
shall be required to comply with all the regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District;
5. that the project shall comply with the Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling
Ordinance which requires affected demolition, new construction and alteration projects
to submit a Waste Reduction plan and meet recycling requirements; any partial or full
demolition of a structure, interior or exterior, shall require a demolition permit;
�
7
that the applicant shall comply with Ordinance 1503, the City of Burlingame Storm
Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance; and
that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building Code and
California Fire Code, 2001 edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.

In response to comments from the 13 August 2007 Planning Commission meeting, attached please find:
. 10 sets of revised drawings, sheets A.1 to A.3, dated 8/14/07
. 1 reduced set of drawings, sheets A.1 to A.3, dated 8/14/07.
Modifications have been made to the drawings in response to Commissioner's comments as follows:
► The proposed porch has been shortened to 6'-0" instead of the originally proposed 7'-8" from the existing
house. This increases the proposed setback from 10'-0" to 11'-6" and decreases the additional lot coverage of
the porch, by 14 square feet, from 48 square feet to 34 square feet.
► Proposed columns are now noted as wood columns to receive a paint finish (see Exterior Elevation, sheet A.2).
If you have any questions regarding the above, or need further information, please call me. I look forward to our
project on the Consent Calendar at the August 27 Planning Commission meeting.

'��,.,.o _ '°`
The Planning Commission is required by law to make tindings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning
Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request.
Please type or write neatly in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these
questions.
a. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circu�nstances or conditions applicable to your
property which do not apply to other properties in this area.
Although the property is large in size, it is limited in use by the presence of Mills Creek
on a majority of the property. This natural condition significantly limits buildable area on
the property and has dictated the house be located tight against the street. The
situation is further exacerbated by the property location at the end of a cul-de-sac
creating a very small street frontage on the property.
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantialproperty right and what unreasonableproperty [oss or unnecessary hardship
might result form the denia[ of the application.
With a limited buildable area, living space was forced to be located at the very front of the
property, leaving no space for a porch or definable entry to the house. With the front of
the house facing west and no porch, the front door and side light is subject to significant
weathering and water damage due to lack of protection from sun and rain. It is reasonable
that the property owners should be able to have a protected entry into their home without
experiencing continual weather-related damage to the entry door area.
c. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detri�nental or
injurious tn property or improvements in the vicinity or tn puhlic health, safety, general
welfare or eonvenience.
The proposed porch would not be detrimental to properties in the vicinity to injurious to the
public good. With a location at the end of a cul-de-sac which (due to the turn-around)
provides significant open space, the proposed addition would have little impact on the general
public. In fact, the porch addition would be a benefit in that it would provide a sheltered and
welcoming entry into the house, create usable exterior space and facilitate neighbor
interaction. In addition, the porch will be constructed and detailed to match the existing
house, so the result will be a subtle and discreet addition with little impact on the streetscape.
d. How will the proposed prnject be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and
character of the existing and potentiul uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity?
The porch will be consistent with the style and character of neighboring properties. In fact, all of
the houses on this cul-de-sac have porches so the proposal would make the subject property
more compatible with entries of adjacent homes. The use of materials consistent with the house
and neighboring properties-cement plaster, wood trim, and "OG" roof gutters will further
increase aesthetic consistency. Landscaping is a common theme of properties on the street and
the existing mature landscaping will be retained, thus continuing this consistent element in the
vicinity.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project is limited to the addition of an entry porch at the front of an existing one-story house.
The property, which is located at the end of a cul-de-sac containing six homes, has a branch of
Mills Creek extending through much of the property. Due to the house location, the porch must be
located within the front setback, thus requiring a variance.
Project intent
Provide a covered porch to provide protection in inclement weather, shade from direct afternoon
sun and a defined, welcoming entry to the existing home.
Site Considerations
Due to the significant portion of the property which is in the creek, there is not much build-able
land. This dictated that the original house be located at the front setback. In addition, the property
has a very small street frontage, being at the end of the cul-de-sac, which limits building placement
and improvements. The result has been that the house is squeezed in between the street and the
creek and up against the front setback. Accordingly, one of the original concessions to site
limitations was omission of an entry porch to the house.
Entry Considerations
There is currently only a small recess under the roof overhang at the front door. This minimal
approach provides little definition of the residence entry, very little protection during rainy weather
and no protection from late afternoon sun. Visually, with no projections, the house appears
somewhat flat. Functionally, lack of a porch means excessive rain water in the entry area and a
constant pounding of the entry door/side light from summer sun, resulting in significant damage
and constant maintenance problems for the owners. The entry door/side light was custom built for
the residence and is a prominent design feature which is important to keep in good condition.
Porch Design
The proposed porch will create visuat interest and depth at the front elevation, providing a design
element to enliven the streetscape. In addition, it will provide a defined entry to the home and
create a more welcoming appearance, as well as be consistent with other homes on the street, all
of which have porches. Other benefits will be the creation of sheltered access into the home and
the provision of protection from sun and rain for the custom entry door system.
The design will have little impact on neighbors and the general public. Being located at the end of
a cul-de-sac, there is little traffic and low visibility of the house. The turn-around at the street
creates significant open space which will mitigate any impact of the porch extending into the
setback. The existing mature landscaping will be maintained, providing a screen in front of the
porch and softening the overall appearance. There are no trees in the project area so no trees will
be removed. Note: there are significant and numerous trees in and around the creek area, all of
which will remain.
Materials
The porch will consist of materials matching the existing house: cement plaster, wood trim, asphalt
shingle roofing, and wood lattice which matches various landscape elements on the property.

Pollution Prevention It's Part of the Plan
It is your responsibility to do the job right!
Runofffrom streets and other paved areas is a major source of pollutionin local creeks, San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Construction activities can directly affect the health of our waters unless contractors and crews plan ahead to keep dirt, debris, and other
construction waste away from storm drains and creeks. Following these guidelines will ensure your compliance with local stormwater
ordinance requirements. Remember, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of installed controls is crucial to proper implementation.

Variance for Front Setback
Address:2301 Valdivia Way
Request: Variance for front setback for a first floor porch addition.
Item # �
Consent Item
Meeting Date: 8/13/07
Property Owners: Ralph and Linda Wondra APN: 025-182-250
Applicant and Architect: James McFall Lot Area: 31,285 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1(e)(1) - additions
to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of
the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Summary: The existing single-story residence with a detached two-car garage contains
3,618 SF (0.12 FAR) of floor area and has four bedrooms. The applicant is proposing a new
front porch that will be located 10'-0" from the front property line. The required front setback
is either 15'-0" or the average of the block, whichever is greater. In this case, the required
front setback is 15'-0" because the average of the block is 13'-11 ". A front setback variance
is required (10'-0" proposed where 15'-0" is the minimum required).
With the proposed addition, the floor area will remain 3618 SF (0.12 FAR). The floor area
will not increase because all of the new covered front porch area is exempt from FAR.
Although this is an unusually large lot, the maximum floor area allowed is 8,000 SF because
that is the maximum size permitted for single-family residences in Burlingame. There is no
change to the number of existing bedrooms (4) with the proposed front porch addition. Given
the dimensions of the driveway, both required on-site parking spaces are covered. The
existing two-car garage (20'-2" x 31'-4" exterior dimensions) is existing nonconforming in
parking space width. All other zoning code requirements have been met. The applicant is
requesting the following:
• Front Setback Variance for a first floor porch addition (10'-0" proposed where 15'-0"
is minimum required) (CS 25.28.072).
This space intentionally left blank.

Z Block average is 13'-11", therefore 15'-0" is the required front setback.
3 Existing nonconforming condition
4 There will be no increase in the floor area ratio because covered porches qualify for a 100
SF floor area exemption.
5 Per Municipal Code Section 25.28.070e, the maximum size of a single-family residential
house shall be 8,000 SF, excluding accessory structures.
6 The number of bedrooms in the house is not increased, therefore an increase in the
parking requirement is not triggered.
