NOTICE OF FINDINGS FOR MINOR MODIFICATION
SIDE SETBACK VARIANCE - 1368 VANCOUVER AVENUE
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
\ �
TEL:(415) 342-8931
An application has been received for a 484 sq.ft. second story bedroom/bath
addition at 1368 Vancouver Avenue, which will involve continuing the existing
wall line on the first floor upwards, thus providing a 4 foot side yard
setback rather than the required 5 foot setback. This addition will be above
the existing family room and part of the garage and will meet all other
code requirements for setbacks, coverage, height and parking.
CITY PLANNER DETERMINATION
A minor modification has been granted by
Department to allow this addition based
Code Section 25.54.020 of the Municipal
the City of Burlingame Planning
on the following findings per
Code.
FINDINGS
l. There are exceptional circumstances.
Due to the placement of existing structures on the 1ot, stepping in the
second floor addition would require new structural supports, thus adding
considerable cost to the project, limiting the usable area of the
addition and affecting the aesthetics of the project.
2. The variance is necessary to preserve a property right.
The addition of a third bedroom is common to homes in Burlinqame and a
4 foot sicle yard setback for the second story is consistent with the
setbacks of other homes in the area.
3. The variance would not be detrimental to other properties.
The existing house has a 4 foot side yard setback and the proposed
addition would maintain the existing separation between structure�.
4. The variance will not adversely affect the zoning plan.
Since the size and configuration of the completed house would be
consistent with the typical existing single family residential unit in
the city, this action wi11 not have an adverse effect on the city's
zoning plan.
CITIZEP7 APPEAL
Your property is within 75' of the above site and therefore you have been
sent this notice of this action. If you object to the decision of the City
Planner to grant this minor modification, you can appeal the decision to
the Planning Commission. To do this your written appeal must be received by
the Planning Departr.lent by September 16, 1986 at 5:OG P.M.

Re: Variance application at 136�'�TancouSrer Ave. �A.P �` 026-���-1�J0)
Pla�nning De�it.:
The c��.�vners at 1368 Vanc�iuver Ave. wish to c�btair� a Minor h�Iodifieatian
Variaiice far� a�ne faot �ide yard encraachm�nt of tY�eir pr�p�?�ed secoi�d
st�ry addition over an existin� garage �an� farnily raorn. The exi�ting first
story i� set back faur feet from the east pr�perty line. Municip�l C�de
S�ctian � 5.66.050 states that rniriimurn sidepar�:, for single stt�ry buildings
shali be increased �ne foot for �ach additior�al stAry ab�ve the first floor.
Underst�ndably, the one foot- in �ue4tic�n s�ems a smail subject in v�lue
and could be easily d�bat�ed in eitYi�r direction. Hawever, bec�aus? of s�ecial
circumstance� applicable t�o the pr�posed desi�n and structu.ral integrity,
t�i� stx�ict applicatiou of the 2onin� regulations is founci t� depri�e the sub-
ject property of the e�stin� privile�ges enj��Je� by c�ther �rop�rties in the
immediate ��icinity,{zonin� reqrrlts. ha;;e since chang�d}. In referenc� to t�ie
en�losed �i�i�tos of the adjacent residences on 'Jan�ouver Ave., �rne eouid
notice th� similarity i17 design t�a the second st,c7ry above the one-car
garages �t the east sideyards. Th�s� existing c�tic�itior�s w�re foui7d tA have
arliy three faot setbacks with a fu11 seeand st�ary abU��e the ent�re �ara�e.
In cantra�t, the subject property reque$ts a fcur foo� setbac�: with a second
st�ory extending t�n �eet �hart �f the �arage fr�nt, which would be less of
an obstruction to windows at the adjacent praperty at 1372 Vancouver.
Regarding the subject prcperty, it i� felt that the five fo�at setk7ack trvattld
severely tiinder th� pr�posed design both on the e�rior and interior.
�.estY�etically, the one foot. 'jog' would iae detrimental to the character and
symmetry both at. t1�te front and rear �levati�ns. A mere tv�relve incY�es
wc�uld be cornpaunded in a�pearance once a roof tr�atment coul� be �et�r-
rnii7ed, and could cause t�ie proverY�ial 'sare thumb' effect. Internaily, a
rriuch needed twelve inches �rrauld be lost in an already srriall r�arro�rr bat�h
and dressing area. N�in-cc�nventional framing s,5�ould also ri�ve t� be em-
ployed sinc� tYi� secor�d story bearing v,rall would rwt litie up directly over
tYi� existsri� fc�uridataciri.

CITY OF BURLINGAME
PL4NNING pEp�,
In closing, it is strongly felt that the �ariance, as appr�jred, 4vi11 not b� a
gr�nt of sp�cial �riailed�e inc�nsist�ent with tri� lirnitatic�ns on other
�rogertaes in t,�e vicinity and zonir�g district. The �c�jdcent property �wner�:
agree with this apprais�l and have e�resse� their ap�r�val. The zonin�
regulations appear irrational anci severe �n t�-iis particular application, and
although dil altsrnate solution is ob�ious, those twei�•e inches would surely
affect the property value and quality of housiiig in the neighborY�ood.
Sincerely,
C �n
