History: An application for Design Review, Hillside Area Construction Permit, and Special Permits for attached
garage and declining height envelope for a new, two-story single family dwelling and attached garage at 2752
Summit Drive was denied without prejudice by the Planning Commission on July 12, 2021. Please refer to the
attached Study and Regular Action meeting minutes for more detailed information and reasons the project was
denied without prejudice (July 12, 2021 and March 22, 2021 Planning Commission Minutes attached).
The applicant has resubmitted the proposed project to address the concerns and suggestions previously
expressed by the Commission. Because substantiai changes were made both to the design and siting of the
buildings, the application is being brought to the Commission as a Design Review �°udy item.
Project Description: The subject property is an interior lot. The applicant is N, �,osing to demolish an existing
one-story single family dwelling with an attached garage and build a new, two-story single family dwelling and
attached garage. The proposed house and garage will have a total floor area of 4,796 SF (0.38 FAR) where
5,102 SF (0.41 FAR) is the maximum allowed.
The subje�t property is located in the Hillside Area and Code Section 25.61.020 of the Burlingame Municipal
Code states that no new structure or any addition to all or a portion of an existing structure shall be constructed
within the affected area without a Hillside Area Construction Permit. In addition, it states that review by the
Planning Commission shall be based upon the obstruction by the 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.
The new single family dwelling will contain four bedrooms. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered,
are required on-site. Two covered parking spaces are provided in the attached garage (21'-11" x 22'-11" clear
interior dirmensions); one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. Therefore, the project is
in compliance with off-street parking requirements. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
Design Review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and attached garage (C.S. 25.57.010 (a)(1)
and C.S. 25.57.010 (a)(6));
