Home My WebLink About2412 Valdivia Way - Staff Reportr e MEMO T0: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNER r• �; <��,��_,' P.C. 2/11/91 Item # 3 SUBJECT: HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION AT 2412 VALDIVIA WAY, ZONED R_1 Applicant and property owner, Russ Hampton, and JD & Associates, designer, are requesting a hillside area construction permit for a first and second story addition at 2412 Valdivia Way, zoned R-1 (C.S. 25.61). The proposed addition will create a new two story house with 4,008 square feet of living area, 539 square feet of garage, and 105 square feet of covered porch for a total of 4652 square feet. A family room, kitchen, dining room, living room, library, bedroom and bath with an attached two car garage is proposed at the first floor level; and three bedrooms, three baths, den, and laundry room are proposed on the second floor level. The proposed residence meets all other zoning code requirements. Staff Review City staff have reviewed this application and the Fire Marshal and Chief Building Inspector had no comments. The City Engineer had no comments on the hillside area construction permit, but indicated a number of items missing from the application for a building permit. A site property line survey will be required. The dimensions to adjacent property driveways will need to be determined before the final driveway as shown may be located. The location of the creek and its bank will need to be verified and shown on the plans. He questioned whether any street trees are located in front of the property and if any will be removed. ApAlicant's Letter The applicant notes in their special permit application of December 28. 1990, that the existing house is too small and is built into the side setback with no available uncovered parking available on the short driveway. The applicant proposes to extensively remodel and add to this residence with a house under the allowable lot coverage (26.30); 3.5' under the allowable height; and the new house will not block any distant views. The new design incorpo- rates many of the existing features of the existing house, including hip roofs, covered front porch, and brick veneer creating a style that is compatible witl� the neighborhood. The applicant further notes in their letter of January 24, 1991 that they have included the following in their design to meet current code requirements: the west wall of the existing house will , 2 be moved six feet to meet the current setback requirements of seven feet; an existing detached recreation room that is not to code will be removed; the garage and driveway will be widened to allow for uncovered on site parking. NeiQhbor's Comments Two of the neighbors have submitted a petition in favor of the project as indicated in the January 5, 1991 letter attached. Findinas for a Hillside Area Construction Permit Review of a hillside area construction permit by the Planning Commission shall be based upon obstruction by construction of the existing distant views of nearby properties. Emphasis shall be given to the obstruction of distant views from habitable areas within a dwelling unit (Code Sec. 25.61.060). Planning 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 the addition as built shall conform to the plans submit- ted to the Planning Department and date stamped December 27, 1990 Sheets 1 through 5; 2. that the finish material used on both the flat and sloping portions of the roof shall be nonreflective as approved by the Chief Building Inspector and City Planner; and 3. that the highest point on the new roof of the remodeled house shall not exceed elevation 137.83' and that the framing shall be surveyed to confirm this elevation and the survey accepted by the City Engineer before the final framing inspection is called for and the roofing material is attached.

Please answer the following questions as they apply to your property to show how the findings can be made for your application request. A letter may also be submitted if you need additional space or if you wish to provide additional information for the Planning Commission to consider in their review of your application. Please write neatly in ink or type. l. Explain why 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 healt.h, safety, general welfare, or convenience. The existing house has three small bedrooms, no family room, inadequate storage, a garage which is built over the setback line and a driveway which is too short for vehicle parking. Our family is growing and have decided due to its prime location and expansive rear yard to extensively remodel and add to this house. Our new home is well under the allowable lot coverage (26.3%), 3.5' under the allowable height, will not. block distant views, is compatible with the neighborhood, and therefore will be an asset to the neighborhood and not detrimental in any way. 2. Discuss how the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. This area is zoned for single family residences and will remain so. Our proposed home conforms to all codes and ordinances adopted by the City of Burlingame. 3 Discuss how the proposed project will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of the existing neighborhood and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. Per Code Section 25.52.020 (3), the Planninc� Commission may impose such reason��bl.e conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of Title 25 (Zoning) in the operation of the use. Our proposed home is well under the allowable lot coverage (26.3%), and 3.5' under the allowable height, will not block distant views of surrounding neighbors. Our design incorporates many �f the existing features of the existing house. ie: hip roofs, covered front porch, and brick veneer. The style is compatible with the neighborhood and will be an asset to the area. 0 January 5, 1991 Burlingame Planniilg Commission 501 Primrose Raad Burlingame, CA 94010 To the Burlingame Planning Commission: I have reviewed the proposed plans for my neighbor Valdivia Drive and have i,:,, ob;ectio::�:.

The proposed addition will create a new two story house with 4,008 square feet of living area, 539 square feet of garage, and 105 square feet of covered porch for a total of 4652 square feet. A family room, kitchen, dining room, living room, library, bedroom and bath with an attached two car garage is proposed at the first floor level; and three bedrooms, three baths, den, and laundry room are proposed on the second floor level. The applicant expects the proposed residence to meet all other zoning code requirements. On March 6, 1989, the City Council passed Ordinance 1388, which established a public review procedure for second floor additions in designated hillside areas. The intent of this ordinance is to protect the distant views which exist from neighboring properties. Regarding hillside area construction permits, Burlingame Municipal Code Section 25.61.050 states: Review of application. Any noticed property owner may request review of the application by written request to the city planner within seven days after the mailing of notice of application. Review of the application may be requested by any member of the planning commission or council by making such request before the close of the meeting of the legislative body at which the notice is received. Upon receipt of a request for review the city planner shall thereafter process the application in the same manner as an application for a special use permit. Unless review of the application is requested the hillside area construction permit shall be deemed approved upon the adjournment of the later of the planning commission or city council meeting following notice of application. Your property is within 100 feet of 2412 Valdivia Way. A copy of the site plan, floor plans and building elevations are provided for your review. If you wish to call this item up for review, you must do so by 5:00 p.m. on January 14, 1990. Please call 342-8625 if you have any questions regarding this proposal.
