Conditional Use Permit for Toilet in Accessory Structure
Address: 2320 Valdivia Way
Request: Conditional use permit to add a toilet in an existing accessory structure.
Plans date stam ed: Au ust 23, 2006
Proposed Allowed/Required
Applicant and Property Owner: Edward Jr. Avakoff APN: 025-182-310
Designer: JD & Associates Lot Area: 11,550 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 - Existing Facilities, Class 1(a), I�ltenor or
exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveniences.
History: On August 28, 1989, the Planning Commission approved an application for rear setback variance for a
first floor addition along the right side of the house (August 28, 1989 P.C. Minutes). On October 31, 2003, a
hillside area construction permit was approved for a first floor addition at the front and rear of the house. Both of
these additions were built.
Summary: The triangular-shaped lot contains a single family dwelling with an attached two-car garage (3,477
SF), an accessory structure (441 SF) and a pool. The existing 441 SF accessory structure contains a cabana (306
SF), dressing room (45 SF), storage room (45 SF) and pool equipment room (45 SF). The applicant is currently
remodeling the existing accessory structure which includes replacing the existing roof structure, new exteriar
stucco, replacing doors and installing a wood-fired pizza oven and gas barbeque in the cabana. A building permit
for the remodel was issued on May 30, 2006. The plans date stamped August 23, 2006, reflect the permitted
remodel with the exception of the toilet in the dressing room which has been added for this application.
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to add a toilet and sink to the existing dressing room (45 SF).
The footprint of the accessory structure will not be changed with this proposal. A conditional use pernzit is
required to add a toilet in an accessory structure (CS 25.60.010, j). A sink is permitted in an accessory structure
without a conditional use permit. There is no shower ar tub proposed with this application. The applicant notes
that it has always been a problem not having a restroom near the pool. With a toilet and sink in the accessory
structure, family and guests using the pool will no longer need to go through the house to use the restroom. The
applicant is requesting the following:
• Conditional use permit to add a toilet in an existing accessory structure (CS 25.60.010, j).

Staff Comments: See attached.
Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission study meeting on September 25, 2006, the Commission noted that
there are no concerns with this request since the toilet is not accessed from inside in the cabana; there is a solid
wall separating the cabana and proposed toilet room (September 25, 2006, Planning Commission Minutes). This
item was set for the consent calendar as proposed with no changes.
Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a conditional use permit to add a toilet in an existing
accessory structure the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code
Section 25.52.020 a-c):
(a) the proposed use, at the proposed location, 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;
(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

ITEMS FOR ACTION
4. VARIANCE TO REAR SETBACK FOR AN ADDITION TO A SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE AT 2320 VALDIVIA WAY, ZONED R-1
Reference staff report, 8/28/89, with attachments. DPW Kirkup
reviewed details of the request, staff review, Planning staff
comment, findings required for approval of the variance. Two
conditions were suggested for consideration at the public hearing.
Chm. Ellis opened the public hearing. A1 Seyranian, architect
representing Edward Arakoff, applicant and property owner,
addressed Commission: he presented photographs and discussed the
applicant�s desire to expand his family room, add some work space
and add a new two car garage; the new attached garage would extend
8' into the required 15' rear yard. He noted the triangular shape
of the lot and that the front of the lot as defined by the zoning
code is on the Davis Drive frontage; they have been careful not to
get too close to the neighbor, there is only a garage wall within a
5' setback facing the project site which has no windows or doors,
there would be no impact on that neighbor nor on the neighbors on
the other side.
Giacomo Franco, 2316 Valdivia Way, spoke in opposition to less than
a 15' setback, he expressed concern that in the future the
applicant might wish to build on top of this addition. Staff
advised applicant would have to come back to the Commission if he
wanted to put anything more there than a one story garage. There
were no further audience comments and the public hearing was
closed.
Commission/staff discussion: front of lot as defined by the zoning
ordinance. C. Jacobs found this is a good location for the
addition to this house, it will not impact the neighbor, there are
exceptional circumstances in the way the house is placed on the
lot, it is in conformance with the general plan and will not affect
the neighborhood. C. Harrison requested architect's arguments in
point a. be included as part of the findings.
C. Jacobs moved for approval of the variance application by
resolution with the following conditions: (1) that the addition as
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 3
August 28, 1989
built shall be consistent with the plans submitted to the Planning
Department and date stamped July 12, 1989; and (2) that the final
plans shall meet all the requirements of the Uniform Building and
Uniform Fire Codes. Motion was seconded by C. Graham.
Discussion on the motion: why does the gas meter have to add 4 �o
the width, why couldn't it be moved, take out a storage wall :�d
move the structure 4' further back from the neighbor's garaye;
think there could be a compromise on the part of the homeowner and
developer to increase the space between his garage and the
neighbor's garage by moving that storage space out, could keep the
same size garage but put it up against the existing building and
move the gas meter out. Architect commented this could be done but
applicant wanted the storage space for his use, they felt they
could get a two car garage in without changing the end wall of the
existing building and leave the storage there.
Motion was approved on a 7-0 roll call vote. Appeal procedures
were advised.

revie d details of the request, staff review, �ning staff
comment, applicant's letter, findings required to � nt a variance.
One con 'tion was suggested for considerati� at the public
hearing. Commissioner questioned the staf�'review sheet which
lists one c ered parking space proposed. ��pplicant is proposing
two covered rking spaces but in a�rfdem configuration which
requires a vari ce.)
Chm. Ellis opened e public heari�. Richard Payton, representing
the owner and build , comment�6 this proposal is an improvement
over what is there no this s the only way this can be done, it
will pull two cars off h street. Responding to a Commissioner
question, he advised are to the right where the present backyard
is will be cleaned up, ere the rear addition is going to go there
is an old shed which ill be moved. Speaking in support, Stephan
Gogol, 1721 Adelin Drive: he 1'ves across the street, had nothing
negative to say bout the propo 1, there is an existing awning
which is an ey ore, anything will an improvement and a plus for
that corner. There were no furth audience comments and the
public hea 'ng was closed.
C. Gra felt applicant should be commend on adding parking, she
foun here were exceptional circumstances i that applicant has no
ga ge at this time and this certain warrants special
onsideration, it will not injure any neighbo ing properties or
compromise any zoning. C. Graham moved for pproval of the
variance� by resolution with the following conditi (1) that the

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,

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 of 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?
2. How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlinganae
General Plan and Zoning Ordinanc�?
Ask the Planning Department for the general plan designation and zoning district for the proposed project site. Aiso, ask for au explanation

of the existing and pot�tial uses on adjoining prop�ties 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 neighborhood or area looks, such as a long term airport parking lot, 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 the 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
froin this use? If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood wili change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare your project with existing

Conditional Use Permit for Toilet in Accessory Str-ucture Study Item
Address: 2320 Valdivia Way Meeting Date: 9/25/06
Request: Conditional use permit to add a toilet in an existing accessory structure.
Applicant and Property Owner: Edward Jr. Avakoff APN: 025-182-310
Designer: JD & Associates Lot Area: 11,550 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
History: On August 28, 1989, the Planning Commission approved an application for rear setback variance for a
first floor addition along the right side of the house (August 28, 1989 P.C. Minutes). On October 31, 2003, a
hillside area constniction permit was approved for a first floor addition at the front and rear ofthe house. Both of
these additions were built.
Summary: The triangular-shaped ]ot contains a single family dwelling with an attached two-car garage (3,477
SF), an accessory structure (441 SF) and a pooL The existing 441 SF accessory structure contains a cabana (306
SF), dressing room (45 SF), storage room (45 SF) and pool equipment room (45 SF). The applicant is currently
remodeling the existing accessory structure which includes replacing the existing roof structure, new exterior
stucco, replacing doors and installing a wood-fired pizza oven and gas barbeque in the cabana. A building permit
for the remodel was issued on May 30, 2006. The plans date stamped August 23, 2006, reflect the permitted
remodel with the exception of the toilet in the dressing room which has been added for this application.
The applicant is requesting a conditional use pennit to add a toilet and sink to the existing dressing room (45 SF).
The footprint of the accessory structure will not be changed with this proposal. A conditional use permit is
required to add a toilet in an accessory structure (CS 25.60.010, j). A sink is pernlitted in an accessory structure
without a conditional use perniit. There is no shower or tub proposed �vith this application. The applicant notes
that it has always been a problem not having a restrooin iiear the pool. With a toilet and sink in the accessoiy
structure, family and guests using the pool will no longer need to go through the house to use the restroom. The
applicant is requesting the following:
• Conditional use permit to add a toilet in an existing accessoiy structure (CS 25.60.010, j).
