Applicant: Design - Build Solutions, Larry Weinstein APN: 025-273-010 Property Owner: Gary Hirsch Lot Dimensions and Area: 0.97 Acres General Plan: Industrial and Office Uses Zoning: M-1 Adjacent Development: Warehouses and auto repair CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 - Existing Facilities, Class 1(a), Interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances. Previous Use: Medical supply company Proposed Use: Freight forwarding company of electronic and computer equipment - Speedmark Transportation Allowable Use:Trucking, and motor freight terminals with a special permit Summary: The applicant, Design-Build Solutions, is requesting a special permit for trucking and a parking variance for number of compact stalls at 1525 Adrian Road (22,600 SF). The proposed use as a trucldng/freight forwarding company requires a special permit in the M-1 zoning district. On this corner lot, two parking lots are proposed with access from David Road. The total parking required is 33 stalls, and the applicant is proposing 33 stalls. Two of the stalls are handicap accessible, 31 are compact (94 % of the total), and there are no standard stalls. The code allows only 4 compact stalls (12% of the total). Tfie applicant is proposing 31 compact stalls (8' X 17') which aze 27 more than allowed. A pazking variance is required for 94 % compact stalls where 12 % are allowed. Planning Department notes that the applicant has recently expressed a desire to provide access to the roll up door off the parking lot. The plans reviewed at the November 14, 1994 Planning Commission study meeting showed a total of 34 stalls. One parking stall will be lost to provide access to the roll up door. A total of 33 parking stalls are now proposed with this option where 34 were reviewed previously. This total still meets the required parking total of 33 stalls. No parldng variance for total number of stalls is required because the plan, with access to the roll . ' � SPECIAL PERMIT AND PARKING VARIANCE 1525 Adriart Road up door, still meets the 33 total number of stalls required. Tfie conditions of approval have noted the change from the plans reviewed by the Planning Commission. (Note: The roll up door is 10' wide and a compact stall is 8' wide so the parking lot layout will need to be shifted in order to provide clear access to the door.) The cunent structure has 6,583 SF of office and 16,017 SF of warehouse. There is an enclosed, fenced, storage yard 50' X 125'. The current parking available on site is 14 stalls. With the proposed plans for the trucking/freight forward company the fenced storage area will be removed and converted into a pazking lot allowing an increase in on site parking from 14 to 34 spaces. The new company will convert 2,183 SF of office into warehouse. The new office area will tota14,400 SF (19.5%) with 18,200 SF of warehouse (80.5%). The new business will be open Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.. Currently the company has 11 employees and they project 15 employees in five years. Visitors anticipated at the site number four, today, with up to eight in five years. The maximum number of employees and visitors on site at any one time is 15 to 17 people. Each day, two small vans will make deliveries to the site. Each month, four large semi trailer trucks will make up to four deliveries. It takes approximately 3 to 4 hours to load and unload a shipment. The applicant has described the employees of the company in his October 6, 1994 letter. The district manager is the company leader. Five employees are in charge of operations including billing, labelling, and invoices. One person performs outside sales duties. Three people aze in the accounting department which handles record keeping. There is one general manager who oversees company operations. The applicant has outlined the size of the trucks and vans used for deliveries in his letter. There is one bobtail truck delivery per day. This truck is 24'-6" long and unloads for about one and a half hours and then leaves the site. There is one semi-trailer truck delivery every two weeks up to a maximum of four per month. This truck is 48' long and unloads for about four hours. Two small van deliveries are made two to four times a month. The time of delivery varies and unloading is for about one and a half hours. None of these trucks are stored overnight on site. One loading dock is existing on site and the applicant proposes to add two more for a total of three loading docks accessed from David Road. History: Before making this present application, Speedmark transportation made application to use 1415 North Carolan Avenue for this same use. The Planning Commission approved that request on July 11, 1994. During the discussion the Planning Commission indicated the proposed use was less intense than the previous tenant, and that parking to code would be provided on site. The commission also discussed truck delivery hours. (P.C. 7uly 11, 1994 Minutes and M. Monroe letter of July 20, 1994 to Larry Weinstein). 2 : SPECIAL PERMIT AND PARRING VARIANCE Use: Office Area: Parking: Proposed * freight forwarding co. 4,400 SF (19.5%) 33 Compact Parking: * 31 Existing medical supplies & storage 6,583 SF (29%) 14 accessible 0 I525 Adrian Road Allowed/Req' d special permit for motor freight - trucking 4,520 SF (20%) � 0 * Special permit for freight forwarding business and parking variance for number of compact stalls. This project meets all other zoning code requirements. Staff Comments: The City Engineer notes (October 7, 1994 memo) that an encroachment permit will be required to widen the existing driveway. He also asked about the existing (18" diameter) tree on David Road. Is it to remain? Is it on city property? The Chief Building Inspector indicated (October 17, 1994 memo) that one van space plus one standard disabled accessible parking space are required. The triangular area proposed between the handicap stalls may be used for unloading if it is paved, striped and has a cross slope of 1:50 or flatter. The Pazks Director indicates that if the tree on David Road is to be removed and it is over 48" in circumference it must be replaced with a 24" box tree. The Fire Marshal (October 11, 1994 memo) had no comments. Study Meeting: At their November 24, 1994 study meeting the Planning Commission asked where the driveways were located. There are two existing driveways on the property. The applicant proposes to widen the eastern driveway for access to the parking lot and for the expanded truck loading dock. The commission asked about the exceptional circumstances for the project. The applicant has responded with a revised variance application (L. Weinstein November 21, 1994 letter to the Planning Commission). The applicant indicates that the parking lot layout is based on the existing configuration of the lot and the location of the structure. One end of the site narrows to ±55' restricting the layout of parking spaces. The future business owner also indicates that he dces not anticipate using more than 22 parking spaces over the next 15 years. The applicant responded to the Commission's inquiry regarding a layout that included standard K� SPECIAL PERMIT AND PARKING VARIANCE I525 Adrran Road sized stalls. Included in your packet is a revised parking lot plan with 22 standard stalls, 5 compact stalls, and 2 disabled accessible stalls for a total of 29 stalls (Sheet S-3 date stamped November 21, 1994 with revised layout to include access to the roll up door). This new layout requires two parking variances, for total number of stalls and compact number of stalls. The revised total of 29 stalls is four less than the 33 stalls allowed. A pazking variance for four cars would be required. Compact stalls are proposed at 5(15%) where the code allows four (12%). A parking variance for one compact stall is required. The applicant has indicated that he prefers the new parldng lot layout with the standard stails since the maximum number of stalls they will need for their business is 22. The Engineering Department has reviewed the cunent parldng lot layout and they had no concerns regazding the layout of the parking stalls. They prefer the standard sized stalls with the reduced number parking total, since standard stalls encourage simpler vehicular maneuvers. According to the Chief Building Official the disabled accessible pazking stalls and the path of travel, at 48" wide, meets cunent building code requirements. This site is relatively level and handicap accessibility is unencumbered by curbs and changes in elevation. A ramp to the front door on Adrian Road or on David Road may not be necessary due to the existing grades on site. The site requires two disabled accessible parking spaces. One stall must accommodate a van at 9' in width with an 8' wide unloading area. The other disabled accessible stall must be 9' wide with a 5' unloading area. The triangular area used for unloading by the disabled accessible stalls must have a maximum cross slope of 1:50. As requested by the Planning Commission the applicant has shown the 10' wide easement along the south property line on the revised November 21, 1994 plans. This easement is owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad and contains an abandoned railroad spur line. The cunent site has 14 standard parking spaces. Previous uses included warehouse with office and a range of 24 to 36 spaces depending on the number of loading docks. The applicant has no other history on this site.

Size of the building is 22,600 square feet, with present Office Area of 6,583 square feet and present Warehouse Area of 16,017 square feet. The exterior on site parking lot now affords 14 parking spaces. There is an enclosed fenced in storage yard adjacent to the existing parking area, which we will use for additional parking. The present owner of the property is using same for medical supply storage and sales. We intend to remove the existing portion of Office Area bordering along the existing Warehouse Area and thus substantially reduce the Office Area by 2,183 square feet, and incorporate this space into the Warehouse Area. This would effectively reduce the present Office Area down to 4,400 square feet and increase the Warehouse Area to 18,200 square feet total. We further intend to remove the existing chain link fenced in storage Yard enclosure and change same into additional parking area for the property as shown on attached Drawing. The new use of this property will be for freight fowarding of primarily electronic and computer equipment. This proposed use is in accord with the Burlingame General Plan usage for this area. Using the City of Burlingame parking ratio by use criteria, we will require 15 parking spaces for the 4,400 square feet of Office Area and 19 parking spaces for the 18,200 square feet of Warehouse Area, making a total of 34 required parking spaces. In order to accomplish this we would have to make all, but the two required handicap parking spaces, compact in size (8x17). The maximum amount of parking spaces required by the new owner, even projecting future growth of the business, will be approximately 18 to 20 parking spaces.

VARIANCE FOR STALL DIMENSION REQUEST: Due to circumstances whereby at one time an easement was deeded to Public Utilities at the end ot the building parking area, which in turn shortened the property line at this point by 10`, there is presently insufficient room in the newly created parking area to create the 34 required parking spaces unless all of the parking spaces are allowed to be compact space dimension of 8x17 feet in size. � � . 1 �, ROUTING FORM DATE: _�' - " �� T TO: CITY ENGINEER CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR �- FIRE MARSHAL PARRS DIRECTOR � CITY ATTORNEY J SCHEDULED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTf6i� MEETING: 1 V �J�, �� REVIEWED BY STAFF IN MEETING ON MONDAY: _ ��, I J THANKS, Jane Sheri Leah � � � � ' �� - � � � �� Date of Comments �G �b��...b�,�� , , � r � � � � �/%� �.� �7/3� � � � -- ��r��%�� ` � ,��: �c; 1��'��_ �-- !1�`�'I�� r < J 1 �'.s � . , �i S� �� '� � �. �t . ,� � ,. , ��, / �° �/� �' wr' �'��/,��' s �,�e•�s - `T ��a�jr vl� u^� ��w �-�.
