Statement of Qualifications
Butte Creek Bridge, Butte County
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
Redding Field Office is replacing the single
lane Butte Creek Bridge with a new bridge
funded by BLM's deferred maintenance
program. The existing Butte Creek Bridge
was constructed in the t935 by the U.S.
Forest Service (and Civilian Conservation
Corps — CCC's) and is a steel truss bridge
with a concrete deck which crosses Butte
Creek on Ponderosa Way.
Over the years, the Bu#te Creek Bridge has
become structurally deficiemt and ir� need of
replacement. The proposed project involves
construction of a new concrete, one-lane
h±-idge over Butte Creek at the same site of the
current bridge and the remaval of t'�he current
bridge structure. Mid Pacific Engineering, Inc.
is providi�g a f�all scope of construction
materials testing and special inspections
required for the project's reconstruction.

Refer to attached Mitigated Negative Declaration No. ND-545P.
APN: 026-141-020
Lot Area: 115,850 SF
Zoning: RR
Existing Use: Office/warehouse — packaged food warehousing
Proposed Use: Indoor badminton facility (commercial recreation use) and office/warehouse
Allowable Use: Air courier service, light industrial or manufacturing use, labs, office uses in conjunction
with a permitted use, warehouses; indoor badminton facility (commercial recreation use)
allowed with a conditional use permit
Application Summary: The applicant is proposing to operate an indoor badminton facility (commercial
recreation use), Bay Badminton Center, Inc., at 1611 Adrian Road, zoned RR. The applicant is requesting the
following:
• Conditional Use Permit for commercial recreation use (indoor badminton facility) (CS 25.44.030, h);
• Parking Variance for 118 parking spaces (107 parking spaces proposed where 225 are required based
on commercial recreation and office/warehouse/storage parking ratios) (CS 25.70.040); and
• Parking Variance for substandard parking space dimensions (8'-6" x 18"unistall'spaces proposed where
9' x 20' is the minimum required) (CS 25.70.020, a).
Environmental Review: A parking variance for 118 spaces is required for this application because the Zoning
Code establishes on-site parking requirements for commercial recreation uses (1 space for 200 SF) as well as
for an office/warehouse use based on the uses inside the building. Based on the square footage of uses
proposed in the entire existing building the on-site parking requirement is 225 spaces (34 parking spaces forthe
office/warehouse tenant + 191 parking spaces for the badminton facility). Because of the large Parking Variance
requested (118 space parking variance), an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration have been prepared
(Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 545P attached for reference).
The Planning Commission held a study session for this project on April 9, 2007 (April 9, 2007, P.C. Minutes). An
Initial Study was prepared by the Planning Department. Based on the Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration has been prepared for review by the Planning Commission. As presented, the Mitigated Negative
Declaration identified potential impacts in the areas of traffic/transportation. However, based upon the mitigation
measures identified in the Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project can be addressed by a
Mitigated Negative Declaration since the Initial Study did not identify any adverse impacts which could not be
reduced to acceptable levels by mitigation (please refer to the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration No.
545P). The mitigation measures in the Initial Study have been incorporated into the recommended conditions of
approval (in italics). Since there were no State agencies involved in review, the Mitigated Negative Declaration
was circulated for 20 days for public review on May 23, 2007. The 20-day review periods ends on June 11,
2007. No comments were received as of the date of printing of the staff report (June 6, 2007).
Conditional Use Permit and Parking Variances 1611 Adrian Road
Project Description: Currently, the 64,094 SF office/warehouse building is occupied by a packaged food
warehousing business, QFCO, Inc. (QFCO). The owners of QFCO are also the property owners. The existing
building contains two floors of office space at the front of the building (10,613 SF) and a single-storywarehouse
space with a high ceiling in the remainder of the building (53,481 SF).
The applicant is proposing to divide the building into two tenant spaces, one to be occupied by QFCO, Inc. and
the other space to be occupied by the proposed indoor badminton facility. QFCO would reduce their space to
23,675 SF (19,435 SF of warehouse and 4,240 SF of office). QFCO would remain in the second floor office
space with theirwarehouse space on the ground floor. Access to the second floor office space is provided by an
existing central lobby and stairway. The office space for QFCO makes up 17.9% of the total space where 25%
is the maximum allowed. Thirty-four (34) parking spaces are required by code to support this use.
The proposed indoor badminton facility would be 40,419 SF in area and would contain 2,085 SF of office, 493
SF of retail, 1,765 of storage and 36,076 SF for the indoor badminton courts and associated activities including a
lounge, children's play zone, stretching zone and restrooms. Sixteen (16) courts are proposed forthe badminton
facility. The office space for the badminton facility would be on the ground floor. The badminton facility would
also use several storage rooms on the second floor (1,232 SF) for storage. The office space for the indoor
badminton facility makes up 5.1 % of the total space where 25% is allowed. One hundred ninety-one (191)
parking spaces are required by code to support this activity.
The applicant notes that the badminton facilitywill offer membership court play-time, professional coaching for all
levels, walk-in court play-time and special programs for school age children, retirees and young adults. In
addition to the typical weekday/weekend activities, there would be two tournaments each year, one in the spring
and another in the fall, both of which would occur on a weekend (Saturday and Sunday). On these two
weekends, the facility would be closed for other users. Tournaments would include no more than 60 individuals
per tournament, of which 40 players would play singles on the first day and 60 players would play doubles on the
second day. Some of the players would participate in both singles and doubles matches. Spectators are
anticipated at the tournaments, but they would mostly be friends and family members arriving with the
tournament players in the same vehicle.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the building with the exception of adding new disabled-
accessible ramps at the front and rear of the building. Interior remodeling includes demolishing existing walls on
the ground floor not needed for the proposed badminton facility. A new full height, one-hour fire rated wall is
proposed in the existing warehouse to separate the proposed badminton facility and QFCO, inc. warehouse use.
The proposed badminton facility would be open seven days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. The applicant
notes that the badminton facility will be most active from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 11
p.m. on weekends. At opening, the badminton facility would have three full-time employees before 5 p.m. and
two full-time employees after 5 p.m. on weekdays, with no part-time employees. On weekends, there would be
four full-time employees before 5 p.m. and three full-time employees after 5 p.m., with no part-time employees.
The number of employees is anticipated to change to, at maximum, four-full time employees before 5 p.m. and
three full-time employees after 5 p.m. on weekdays, with no part-time employees. On weekends, the numberof
employees is anticipated to increase to five full-time employees before 5 p.m. and four full-time employees after
5 p.m., with no part-time employees. On weekdays, 40 customers are expected before 5 p.m. and 48 customers
after 5 p.m. On weekends, 58 customers are expected before and after 5 p.m. In five years, 50 customers are
expected before 5 p.m. and 58 customers are expected after 5 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, 68 customers
are expected before and after 5 p.m. It is expected that there would be a total of 62 customers and employees
on site at any one time.
QFCO, the existing office/warehouse business, would be open Monday through Fridayfrom 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.
QFCO has seven full-time employees and no part-time employees. The numberof employees is not expected to
change in the future. The applicant indicates that no customers come to the site for this business and therefore
there would be a maximum of seven persons on site at any one time associated with this business.

Landscaping: When the use in a building is intensified, in this case from office/warehouse to commercial
recreation, on-site landscaping must be provided to current code standards. The RR zoning district regulations
require that a minimum of 10% of the total area of the property be landscaped and that a minimum of 60% of the
front setback be landscaped. The North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan encourages landscaping in the
front setback and 10% total site landscaping. A majority of the existing buildings in this area were built before
the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan was approved and this landscaping was required by code.
However, this site will comply with the minimum required on-site landscaping: 10.7% (12,452 SF) total on-site
landscaping proposed where 10% (11,585 SF) is the minimum required; 80.8% front setback landscaping
proposed where 60°/o (5,045 SF) is the minimum required. Eight existing Chinese Elm trees, located at the front
of the lot, will remain. Proposed landscaping enhancements include sun tolerant ornamental shrubs and
flowering perennials.
Parking: Because the proposed badminton facility creates an intensification of use on this site, there is an
increase in the number of parking spaces required. The existing 64,094 SF office/warehouse building is served
by 63 on-site parking spaces. The site with the existing office/warehouse use is non-conforming in parking (63
parking spaces provided where 85 are required).
With this application, the on-site parking supply will be increased from 63 to 107 parking spaces (100 unistall
spaces (8'-6" x 18') + 7 disabled-accessible spaces). However, based on parking ratios established in the
Zoning Code for commercial recreation, office, warehouse, and storage uses as proposed, a tota� of 225 parking
spaces are required for the proposed badminton facility and office/warehouse tenant (34 parking spaces forthe
office/warehouse tenant + 191 parking spaces for the badminton facility). Therefore, a Parking Variance is
required for 118 spaces (107 on-site parking spaces provided where 225 parking spaces are required based on
commercial recreation and office/warehouse/storage parking ratios). A Parking Variance is also required for
substandard parking space dimensions (8'-6" x 18' 'unistall' spaces proposed where 9' x 20' is the minimum
required).

Transportation/Circulation Summary: Adrian Road parallels U.S. Highway 101 and is located on the west of
U.S. 101. The project site can be accessed from Millbrae Avenue and Broadway using Rollins Road. Adrian
Road is a two-lane street with primarily industrial uses. It begins at Rollins Road in Millbrae in the north, and
dead-ends south of David Road in Burlingame in the south. Rollins Road connects to Millbrae Avenue at the
north end and to Broadway at the south end. Both Millbrae Avenue and Broadway provide access to U.S. 101.
The average daily traffic volume along Rollins Road is approximately 14,000 to 15,000 vehicles.
Because the proposed badminton facility creates an intensification of use on this site, there is an increase in the
number of parking spaces required. The existing 64,094 SF office/warehouse building is served by 63 on-site
parking spaces. The site with the existing office/warehouse use is non-conforming in parking (63 parking spaces
provided where 85 are required).
With this application, the on-site parking supply will be increased from 63 to 107 parking spaces (100 unistall
spaces (8'-6" x 18') + 7 disabled-accessible spaces). However, based on parking ratios established in the
zoning code for commercial recreation, office, warehouse, and storage uses as proposed, a total of 225 parking
spaces are required for the proposed badminton facility and office/warehouse tenant (34 parking spaces forthe
office/warehouse tenant + 191 parking spaces for the badminton facility). Therefore, a parking variance is
required for 118 spaces (107 on-site parking spaces provided where 225 parking spaces are required based on
commercial recreation and office/warehouse/storage parking ratios) and for parking space dimension (8'-6" x 18'
unistall parking space dimension proposed where 9' x 20' standard parking space dimensions are required).
CHS Consulting Group prepared a traffic and parking study for the proposed indoor badminton facility, dated
April 18, 2007. The purpose of the study was to examine the potential traffic and parking impacts from the
proposed badminton facility at this site. Because the badminton courts occupy a large area for a limited number
�
Conditional Use Permit and Parking Variances 1611 Adrian Road
of players, the parking requirement of one space for each 200 SF of floor area established for commercial
recreation uses may not be appropriate. The parking study is provided to examine the actual parking demand
for similar facilities in the area.
Trip Generation — Existing Use: The study notes that the existing office/warehouse business is a wholesale
operation and has seven employees. It is not open to the public. On a typical weekday, there is a demand for
nine parking spaces (seven spaces for employees and two spaces for delivery trucks). Planning staff would note
that the existing office/warehouse business could eventually be replaced with a use which requires the 34
parking spaces required by the Zoning Code. The parking analysis assumes the warehouse space will use the
required 34 spaces.
Trip Generation— Proposed Uses: The study provides estimated number of employees and players bytime of
day for weekdays and weekends, including both the existing office/warehouse use and the proposed badminton
facility. The study notes that the average stay for a badminton player is one hour or less, but that the study is
based on one and a half hours to accommodate parking turnover time for players. In addition to the typical
weekday/weekend activities, two tournaments are expected to occur each year, generally on weekends.
Spectators are expected to attend the tournaments, but not during typical activities. Since the badminton facility
would not open until 9:30 a.m., the proposed project would not cause any increase in the AM peak hour traffic
volumes (typically 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.). The Traffic Analyzer, prepared forthe North Burlingame/Rollins Road
Specific Plan, identifies the AM peak period as 7:00 a.m. to 9 a.m. and the PM peak period as 4:00 p.m. to 6:00
p.m. The traffic study indicates that the AM peak hour within that period is 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and the PM
peak hour is 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. All trips during the AM peak hour would be generated by seven
office/warehouse employees (existing) and two badminton employees.
During the weekday morning period from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., the badminton facilitywould generate a maximum
of 40 vehicle trips, 20 inbound and 20 outbound, assuming the worst-case condition (all badminton players drive
alone, none take public transit or carpool and all players stay for one hour only). An additional three trips would
occurjust before 9 a.m., when two badminton employees and one coach would arrive.
During the weekday afternoon period from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., there would be a maximum of 60 vehicle trips, 30
inbound and 30 outbound, assuming the worst-case condition. During the PM peak hour there would be 34
vehicle trips, 16 inbound and 18 outbound (10 adult players, one coach and seven office/warehouse employees).
The highest number of vehicle trips during the weekday would occur during the evening period from 6 p.m. to 11
p.m. It should be noted that the current office/warehouse business would not be open after 6 p.m. During the 6
p.m. to 11 p.m. period there would be a maximum of 96 vehicle trips, 48 inbound and 48 outbound, assuming the
worst-case condition. The heaviest period would be from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. when 22 players would be present.
The study notes that weekend activity would be higher than that of a typical weekday. On Saturdays and
Sundays, there will be a total of 144 players using the facility each day compared to 98 players on a typical
weekday. During the 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. periods, there would be 59,
74 and 57 players using the facility, respectively. It should be noted that the current office/warehouse business
is not open on weekends.
In addition to the typical weekday/weekend activities, there would be two tournaments each year, one in the
spring and another in the fall, both of which would occur on a weekend (Saturday and Sunday). On these two
weekends, the facilitywould be closed for other users. Tournaments would include no more than 60 individuals
per tournament, of which 40 players would play singles on the first day and 60 players would play doubles on the
second day. Some of the players would participate in both singles and doubles matches. Spectators are
anticipated at the tournaments, but they would mostly be friends and family members arriving with the
tournament players in the same vehicle. The demand during a tournamentweekend would not be higherthan a
typical weekend demand. Therefore, there would be no significant impact during the tournament weekends.

Conditional Use Permit and Parking Variances 1611 Adrian Road
Traffic Impact Analysis: The study notes that because the facility opens at 9:30 a.m., the proposed project
would not generate any traffic impacts during the AM peak hour because there would be few additional trips
generated during the AM peak hour (7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.). Therefore, the study focused on potential impacts
during the PM peak hour.
The study found that traffic generally flows well along Adrian Road and Rollins Road. The badminton facility
would add approximately 34 vehicle trips to Rollins Road during the PM peak hour (16 inbound and 18
outbound). This would represent a 1.1 to 1.5 percent increase over the current volume along Rollins Road.
Therefore, the study concludes that no significant traffic impacts are anticipated.
The study also analyzed intersection level of service (LOS) at the intersections of Rollins Road/Millbrae Avenue
and Rollins Road/Broadway for both Existing and Existing plus Project conditions during the PM peak hour.
Existing PM peak hour turning movement counts were taken on March 1, 2007 at these two intersections. The
Millbrae/Rollins intersection currently operates at LOS C and the Broadway/Rollins intersection currently
operates at LOS D during the peak hour. The study also points out that two approaches currently operate at
LOS E: the northbound left turn from Rollins Road to Millbrae Avenue at the Millbrae/Rollins intersection; and the
eastbound left turn from Broadway eastbound to Rollins Road and southbound through at the Broadway/Rollins
intersection. The study found that the proposed project trips would not change the current LOS and would have
minimum change to delays at these two intersection and the existing LOS E approaches. Therefore, the study
concludes that the proposed project would not have significant traffic impacts at these two intersections.
Parking Impacf Analysis: Because the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Parking Generation Manual
contains no land use category of "Badminton Club", "Commercial Recreation", nor "Gym", the parking demand
analysis was estimated based on comparable uses in the Bay Area. A parking survey was conducted at four
known active badminton clubs in the BayArea, including clubs in Sunnyvale, Fremont, Milpitas and Menlo Park.
Based on these facilities, the average midday parking demand during a typical weekday is approximately 1.4
spaces per badminton court. During a typical weekday evening the average parking demand is 4.3 spaces per
court. Based on these ratios, the estimated demand for this site is 59 spaces during weekday midday and 107
spaces during weekday evening and weekend. This includes the parking ratios established in the zoning code
for the existing office/warehouse business to remain on the site and for the office, warehouse, and storage uses
for the badminton facility; the demand for 22 spaces forthe badminton courts (1.4 spaces per court x 16 courts)
during weekday midday and 69 spaces (4.3 spaces per court x 16 courts) during weekday evening and
weekends; and the demand for 3 to 4 spaces for the badminton facility offices. Please see Table 1 below for a
breakdown of parking demand.
Office/Warehouse Badminton Badminton Office Total
Weekday midday: 34 22 ' 3 59
Weekday evening 34 69 2 4 107
and weekend:
' 16 courts x 1.4 spaces per court during weekday midday = 22 spaces
2 16 courts x 4.3 spaces per court during weekday evening and weekends = 69 spaces
The study concludes that the proposed 107 parking spaces provided on-site should be sufficient to meet the
project parking demand.
Planning staff would note that based on the traffic and parking study, the 107 parking spaces provided on-site
will be sufficientforthe proposed badminton facility. However, the office/warehouse business is onlyopen from
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and closed on weekends, which adequately offsets the peak operating days and
hours of the badminton facility. The property owners have agreed to limit the days and hours of operation of the
current and future office/warehouse business to morning until 6 p.m. on weekdays and no operation on
weekends. Therefore, with mitigations the impacts on transportation/circulation are considered less than
significant.

April 9, 2007 Study Meeting: At the April 9, 2007 Planning Commission study meeting, the Commission asked
several questions about the proposed indoor badminton facility (April 9, 2007 PC Minutes). The applicant
submitted revised plans along with a letter, dated April 23, 2007, in response to the Commission's comments
and questions. The responses to the Commission's comments are summarized below.
In addition, the Commission asked how the applicant plans to regulate, if at all, future warehouse/industrial
activity in the adjacent tenant space. It was noted that while wholesale importing of foods is benign, should there
be a concern about a future activity that might have noxious fumes in the adjacent warehouse space? How do
we address a future, more noxious industrial use and its compatibility with an athletic facility?
In a letter dated June 6, 2007, the applicant notes that as the owners of the building, QFCO, Inc. will only engage
in freight and warehousing distribution. There will be no manufacturing, reprocessing or repackaging conducted
in the adjacent tenant space. There will be no noxious fumes or other industrial uses which would pose harm to
the badminton use.
Parkinq:
9. Prepare addifional parking layouts one using code allowed compact parking spaces and one using
unistall parking dimensions, how would that affect the amount of parking on-site.
The applicant considered several parking layout alternatives. After reviewing the different layouts, the
applicant is proposing unistall parking spaces for all on-site parking spaces, with the exception of the
disabled-accessible spaces (8'-6" x 18' unistall space) (see revised Site Plan, sheet A1.2). By using
unistall parking spaces, the number of on-site parking spaces increased by 6 spaces, from 101 to 107.
As noted in the staff report, a Parking Variance for substandard parking space dimensions is required
(8'-6" x 18' unistall spaces proposed where 9' x 20' is the minimum required).
2. There is an inconsistency between fhe business plan included in the staff report and the staffing
chart provided for the traffic study and planning review, particularly number of
emp/oyees/statf/coaches on site during different fimes of day; these are nof included in the parking
demand study or the trip generation sfudy, all these people should be included as sfaff in these
ana/yses.
• In a letter dated April 16, 2007, the applicant notes that 14 employees, as stated in the business plan, will
be full-time and part-time employees to cover seven working days consisting of two shift schedules. The
applicant notes that on weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., there will be two employees and one coach;
after 6 p.m., there will be two employees with no coaching. On weekends from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., there
will be three employees and one coach; after 6 p.m. there will be three employees and no coaching.
3. Ufilify pole in the new parking area is not shown on the plans, and will affect parking layout.
• The revised Site Plan has been corrected to show the existing PG&E utility box and pole at the rear of
the site (see Site Plan, sheet A1.2).
4. Clarify how the loading dock will6e used, diagram how the trucks would enter, exit and maneuver on
fhe site, remove any parking areas which will conflict with !he truck access and loading dock access
on site.
• The revised Site Plan shows the truck turning radius and maneuvering on-site (see Site Plan, Sheet
A1.2). In a letter dated April 16, 2007, QFCO, Inc., notes that trucks will enter and proceed to the rear of
the lot. Once the truck is in the truck turning radius, the truck will continue towards the south and the
back into the loading dock area.

Condifional Use Permit and Parking Variances 1611 Adrian Road
5. Parking spaces are located in front of fhe building utility box for the site, is this allowed.
• The applicant notes that parking is not allowed in front of the existing utility box adjacent to the loading
dock at the rear of the building. The utility box is protected by several existing bollards (see Site Plan,
sheet A1.2).
6. Can additional parking be /ocated in the PUE, as the neighbor appears to do?
• The applicant notes that locating additional parking in the PUE would decrease the amount of on-site
landscaping below the minimum 10% required (10.7% total on-site landscaping proposed where 10% is
the minimum required).
7. Because of the impact on the AM peak hour in the area, fhe badminfon use should not begin unfil
9:30 a.m.
• The applicant has agreed to open at 9:30 a.m. The conditions of approval reflect the revised opening
time.
S. The deficiencies in the parking and traffic study identified by staff should 6e addressed by the
applicant's parking/traffic consultant, city sfandards should be used including parking sfandards and
a.m. and p.m. peak hours as identified in the Norfh Burlingame/Rollins Road and Bayfronf Specific
Plans which affect the Broadway/Rollins Road intersection; the fraffic study should a/so address the
parking and traffic impacfs of badminton tournamenfs on the site.
• These issues have been resolved in the revised Traffic and Parking Study, dated April 18, 2007. Please
refer to the revised Traffic and Parking Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. ND-545P.
9. ADA accessible parking should be distributed on both sides of the building, particularly c/ose to the
ADA ramp.
• The applicant notes that the new disabled-accessible ramp at the rear of the building is for exiting only.
The disabled-accessible parking spaces are proposed at the front of the site closest to the building
entrance. The Chief Building Official reviewed these p�ans and did not have specific comments related
to the proposed disabled-accessible parking. Compliancewith ADAwill be reviewed in detail when plans
are submitted for a building permit.
Court Use:
10. What is the maximum number ofpeop/e who can use a badminton court at one time, and what is the
turn over of courts (fime between uses).
• The applicant notes that the badminton courts will be designated as eight single courts (two players per
court) and eight double courts (four players per court). Badminton matches generally last 20 minutes or
less in a 21-point format. Most players will play two matches each time they visit the facility. The
applicant notes that an electronic queuing system will allow players to be queued and directed to
appropriate court play.
11. Tournaments should be limited to week-ends and holidays.
• The applicant has agreed to limit tournaments to weekends and holidays. A condition of approval has
been added.

Harry Tan, respectively, discussing tournament play. In addition to the typical weekday/weekend
activities, there would be two local tournaments each year, one in the spring and another in the fall, both
of which would occur on a weekend (Saturday and Sunday). On these two weekends, the facility wouid
be closed for other users. Tournaments would include no more than 60 individuals per tournament, of
which 40 players would play singles on the first day and 60 players would play doubles on the second
day. Some of the players would participate in both singles and doubles matches. Spectators are

tournament players in the same vehicle.
Mr. Lee notes thatthe International Badminton Federation (IBF) requires a minimum ceiling heightof 32
feet for international play, while the proposed facility has a ceiling height of 26 feet. Therefore, the

• There is an inconsistency between the business plan included in the staff report and the staffing chart
provided for the traffic study and planning review, particularly number of employees/staff/coaches on
site during different times of day; these are not iucluded in the parking demand study or the trip
generation study, all these people should be included as staff in these analyses;
• Utility pole in the new parking area is not shown on the plans, and will affect parking layout;
• Clarify how the loading dock will be used, diagram how the trucks would enter, exit and maneuver on
the site, remove any parking areas which will conflict with the truck access and loading dock access
on site;

• Because of the impact on the AM peak hour in the area, the badminton use should not begin unti19:30
a.m.;
• The deficiencies in the parking and traffic study identified by staff should be addressed by the
applicant's parking/traffic consultant, city standards should be used including parking standards and
a.m. and p.m. peak hours as identified in the North Burlingame/Rollins Road and Bayfront Specific
Plans which affect the Broadway/Rollins Road intersection; the traffic study should also address the
parking and traffic impacts of badminton tournaments on the site;
• ADA accessible parking should be distributed on both sides of the building, particularly close to the
ADA ramp;
Court Use

turn over of courts (time beh�een uses);
• Tournaments should be liinited to week-ends and holidays;
• Will there be bleachers or designated viewing areas inside for people to watch, will these be present
all the time or only for tournaments;
• How frequently will tournaments be scheduled at this site each year, what time of year, ho�v many
players will participate at each tournament, how many spectators will attend each tournanlent from
how far away will the players come (local, regional, state, international);
Site Development
• The slope on the ADA ramp should be reduced to 1:15 or 1:20, to provide more useable access;
• Provide a floor plan which iucludes the entire first floar of the building, identify where the wall
dividing the office/warehouse use from the badininton use will be located;
• Description includes a gynu�asium, does this n�ean that there will be training equipment such as
weights etc. on this preinise, if so how much and where will it be located?
• How ��ill the 2,000 SF of office space be used, by whom and during what hours;
• Ho�v will the future use of the office/warehouse use remaining on the site be linuted to insure
compatibility with the badminton use?
• Should provide a planting plan, irrigatioiz systen7 at the front looks good, but the plant �naierial has
died out;

Bay Badminton Center Traffic and Parking Study
The purpose of this study is to examine the potential traftic and parking impacts that would be
generated by the proposed Bay Badminton Center in Burlingame (Proposed Project).
Project Description
The Proposed Project would be located at 1611 Adrian Road in Burlingame. The site currently
contains a warehouse building of approximately 59,429 gross square feet (gs� with 63 parking
spaces. A portion of the building would be converted to a 16-court Badminton Center; the
remaining space would continue to be used as a warehouse. There would be an increase of 44
parking spaces (from 63 to ]07 spaces). Of the total ]07 spaces, 7 would be disabled accessible
spaces and 100 would be regular spaces. Table 1 compares the existing and proposed uses at the
project site. Figure 1 presents the proposed project floor plan.

Project Setting
Adrian Road parallels US 101, and is located on the immediate west side of US 101. The project
site can be accessed from Millbrae Avenue and Broadway via Rollins Road.
Adrian Road is a two-lane street with mostly industrial uses. lt begins at Rollins Road in
Millbrae in the north, and dead-ends just south of David Road in Burlingame in the south.
Rollins Road connects Millbrae Avenue at the north end and Broadway at the south end. The
average daily traffic volume along Rollins Road is approximately 14,000 to 15,000 vehicles.
Project Trip Generation
Existing Uses
The existing warehouse has seven employees and a typical weekday demand for seven parking
spaces. The existing warehouse operation is "wholesale" - i.e., not open to the public, nor can
the general public rent the warehouse units in wholesale. This use generates a demand for
approximately two trucks per day. ���hich deliver goods to warehouse customers.

Proposed Uses
Since there is no '`Badminton Court", "Commercial Recreation", nor "Gym" land use in the
Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation Manual, project trip generatio�� is
determined by the estimated levels of activities at the project site, provided by the project
sponsor. Tables 2 and 3 present the estimated activities of the Proposed Project during a typical
weekday and weekend, respectively. It should be noted that average stay by the players is
typically one hour or less. The estimated number of players presented in Tables 2 and 3 are for
one and half hours to allo�v for changing time for players.

Note: The coach ���ould be the same person staying for the entire duration and employees would be in rivo shifts with 2
employees per shift and the shift change would oceur at 3:00 p.m.
In addition to the typical weekday/weekend activities, there would be two tournaments each year,
one in the spring and another one in the fall, and both of which would occur on a weekend
(Saturday and Sunday). On these two weekends, the Club would be closed for other users.
Tournament participants would be no more than 60 individuals each time, of which 40
participants would play singles on the first day and 60 participants would play doubles on the
Bay Badminton Center Traffic and Parking Study
April 18, 2007 3
second day. Some of these players would participate in both singles and doubles matches.
Spectators are anticipated during the tournament. However, it is anticipated that they would
mostly be friends and family members arriving with the players in the same vehicle.
Since the Badminton Court would not o�en until 9:00 a.m., the Proposed Project would not cause
any increase in AM peak hour traffic volumes. All trips generated during the AM peak hour
(typically 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.) would be existing warehouse employees.
During the weekday morning period from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, the Proposed Badminton
Project would generate a maximum of 40 vehicles, 20 inbound and 20 outbound, assuming the
worst-case condition (all badminton players drive alone, none take transit or carpool, and all
players stay for 1 hour only), with the exception of the period just before 9:00 a.m. wllen a coach
and two badminton employee would arrive.
During the weekday afternoon period from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m., the Proposed Project would
generate a maximum of 60 vehicles, 30 inbound and 30 outbound (20 adult players and 10
children players), assuming the worst-case condition (all badminton players drive alone, none
take transit or carpool, and all players stay for 1 hour only), with the exception of the PM peak
hour (usually bet��een 4:30-5:30 p.m.) during �vhich the warehouse employees would leave.
Durin� the PMpeak hour, the number of outbound vehicle trips would be 18 (10 adult plavers,
one coach, and seven warehouse emplovees), an increase of 11 vehicles. The munber of inbound
vehicle trips would be 16.
The Proposed Project is anticipated to generate a maximum of 96 vehicle trips during the
evening period from 6:00 p.m. to 1 1:00 p.m., 48 inbound and 48 outbound, assuming tlle worst-
case scenario (all players drive alone, none take transit or carpool, and all players stay for I hour
only). The period with heaviest usage in the evening would be beriveen 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
when 22 adult players would be present.
Total weekend activity would be higher than that of a typical weekday (total 144 players on a
weekend day as compared to 98 players during a rypical weekday). However, on any given hour,
the largest increase would be between 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 noon when an additional 15 players
(instead of 10 players) would use the facility. Difference in activities at other hours would be
smaller.
Traffic Impact Analysis
Because the facilitv opens at 9:00 a.m., the Proposed Project would not �enerate anv traffic
impacts durin� the AM peak hour because there would be no additional trips �enerated during
the AM peak hour. The only potential impact analyzed in this report is during the PM peak hour.
Based on the data presented above, the Proposed Project would not cause any significant traftic
impacts on the surrounding streets. A field observation shows that traffic generally flows well
along Adrian Road and Rollins Road. The amount of vehicles the Proposed Project would add to
Rollins Road during the PM peak hour (under worst-case conditions) would be approximately 34
(16 inbowld vehicles bv plavers coming in for the 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. slot and 18 outbound
vehicles b��lavers leavinn for the 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. slot). This would represent an
Bay Badminton Center Traffic and Parking Study
April 18, 2007 4
approximately 1.1-1.5 percent increase over the current volume alon� Rollins Road. Therefore,
no significant traffic impacts are antici�ated.
In addition to assessing traffic volumes along Rollins Road, PM Peak hour intersection level of
service (LOS) at the intersections of Rollins Road and Millbrae Avenue and Rollins Road and
Broadway was analyzed for the Existing and Existing plus Project conditions. The existing PM
peak period traffic turning movement volumes were counted between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on
March 1, 2007 at these two intersections and the PM peak hour was determined to be from 5:00
p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for the intersection of Rollins Road and Millbrae Avenue and from 4:15 p.m. to
5:15 for the intersection of Rollins Road and Broadway. Appendix B presents the field data
collection for each intersection. Table 4 presents the LOS and delay calculation for the PM peak
hour. Figure 2 presents the traffic volumes at these two intersections. Appendix A presents LOS
calculations.
Table 4 shows that the existing LOS at these two intersections is C for Millbrae and Rollins and
D for Broadway and Rollins. It should be noted that while both intersections currently operate at
acceptable conditions, there are approaches that currently operate at LOS E condition. These
approaches include:
• Millbrae and Rollins — Northbound
westbound)
• Broadway and Rollins — Eastbound
Road) and southbound through
left turn (from Rollins Road to Millbrae Avenue
left turn (from Burlingame eastbound to Rollin
The Proposed Project would not change LOS and would have minimum change in delays at
these two intersections and the existing LOS E approaches. Thus, the Proposed Project would
not have significant traffic impacts at these two intersections.

Because the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Pu��king Generation Manual contains no land
use category of "Badminton Club", "Commercial Recreation", nor "Gym", parking demand
analysis is estimated based on comparable uses in the Bay Area. Table 5 presents survey data of
parking demand at four known active badminton clubs in the Bay Area. The average midday
parking demand during a typical weekday is approximately 1.4 spaces per court; during a typical
weekday evening, average parking demand is 4.3 spaces per court. Based on these ratios, Table
6 presents the estimated demand for the Proposed Project to be 59 spaces during weekday
midday and 107 spaces during weekday evening and weekend. This includes the Planning Code
requirements for the �varehouse use (not observed existing occupancy of seven vehicles for the
warehouse use and two for the delivery trucks); the demand for 22 spaces for the badminton
court (1.4 spaces per court x 16 courts) during weekday midday and 69 spaces (4.3 spaces per
Bay Badminton Center Traffic and Parking Study
April 18, 2007 5
court x 16 courts) during �veekday evening and weekend; and the demand for 3 to 4 spaces for
office use (2 to 3 for Badminton Court employees and 1 for the coach). This analysis further
assumed that the 34 spaces required for the warehouse use would not be available for other uses
during weekends. The Proposed Project would provide 107 total parking spaces. This supply
should be sufficient to meet the project parking demand, including potential overflows because
the warehouse portion of the project would not open on weekends.

Table 7 presents the parking requirements imposed on the four other badminton courts by tlle
city in which they are located. There is no consistency in parking requirements among these four
cities. For example, the City of Menlo Park would consider the club an industrial use because it
is located in a M-2 zone, while the other three cities have established requirements for a
badminton club, either per court or per square feet of the court. The Milpitas requirement
appears to be most comparable. The City of Milpitas requires the badminton court within its city
to provide one space per 500 gsf of court area (similar to the requirement for a tennis court) and
one space per 200 gsf of retail/lounge area.

Additional research on parking requirements for a comparable use was also conducted for
reference purposes. This includes parking requirements for "Tennis Court"' in the Cities of San
Jose, San Mateo, Campbell, and Monterey. Parking requirements for a tennis court in these four
cities are the same — two spaces per court. Tennis court has similar characteristics to a
badminton court since both sports usually have four persons per court and badminton court is
slightly smaller than a tennis court (36 feet by 78 feet vs. 20 feet by 44 feet). Based on the
demand analysis, this requirement would meet the average demand on a typical weekday
conditions. Thus, parking requirements for a tennis court is recommended as a comparable for
badminton court.
Based on the estimated tournament participants during the tournament weekend, its demand
would not be higher than a typical weekend condition. Thus, there would not be parking impacts
during the tournament weekend.
Bay Badminton Center Traffic and Parking Study

Summary
The proposed Burlingame Badminton Club would not generate any traffic impacts because the
project area roadways operate in a reasonably free-flow condition and the amount of traftic that
would be generated by the Proposed Project would add only approximately 1.1-I.5 percent of the
existing traffic volumes. PM peak hour LOS at two major intersections in the vicinity of the
Proposed Project (Millbrae Avenue and Rollins Road in Millbrae and Broadway and Rollins in
Burlingame) was analyzed and found that the Proposed Project would not cause significant
traffic impacts at these two intersections as well.
The proposed Burlingame Badminton Club would have sufficient parking spaces to meet its
demand durin�� a typical weekday midday and evening, a weekend, and tournament period. The
Proposed Project �vould provide a total 107 parking spaces; total estimated weekday midday
demand would be 59 spaces, and weekday evening and weekend demand would be 107 spaces,
assuming the 34 spaces required for the warehouse use would not be available for other users
during weekends and �aeekday nights.
With respect to the parking requirement, it appears that two spaces per court is a reasonable
requirement. No local jurisdictions in the Bay Area have "Badminton Court" as a land use in its
Zoning Code. The requirements imposed by the four cities that have approved badminton courts
vary substantially, from one space per 1,000 square feet to one space per 400 square feet. On the
other hand, several cities have '`Tennis Court" in its Zoning Code and the requirement is
consistent — 2 spaces per court. Badminton court has many similar characteristics as a tennis
court and badmii�ton court is somewhat smaller in size than a tennis court.

"t'o Whom It May Concern:
Vly name is Ben Lec and I am writing to you in regards to the proposed Bay
I3adminton Center in Burlingame, Ga. First, I would like to add just a short background
on my involvement in playing badminton in the I3ay Area. I have played Bay Area
badminton for 31 years and have been involved in the sport at many dif�ferent levcls. I
have becn competing at the Olympic level, I have coached all levels of players and I have
been on the board of directors for USA Badminton.
I would like to specifically address the tournament situation that the city council
memhers were conccrned about. I have played more than 500 local tournaments
throughout my career and feel that I have a fairly good grasp on the tournament
formatting.
The proposed Bay Badminton Center will host two local tournaments a year. I)ue
to thc cciting height requirement for international level play, I3ay Badminton Center does
not mcct fBF (Internationa! Badminton Federation) height requirements to host a
sanctioned IBP tournament. The height requirement for intcrnational badminton is 32 feet
minimum. Bay Badminton Center has 26 feet clearance. Our ceiling clearance is more
than adequate for local tournament play.
"I'ypically, a local tournament will draw about 60 participants. "I'he tournament
competitors will consist of 40 the first day of competition (Saturday) for singles and 60
the following day (Sunday) for dot►bles play. There will be an overlap of the same playcrs
who also play singles and doubies. "Che club will be closed to the general m�mbership
and solely dedicated for tournament play. 'I'his will allow the toumament to be complete
within a reasonable time frame.
1�here shouid be absolutely no impact on traffic issues because the tournament
participants will just replace (and in most cases be Icss) the general membership. Also.
thc match play in tournaments are scheduled at various times throughout the day so that
playcrs will be arriving and leaving at various times. Fveryone will not arrive and Ieave
at the same time.
1 hope that information that I have provided will shed some light on the concern
fi�r tournament play. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call me at
408-422-2379 or 510-754-4492. Thank you for your attention.

RE: Additional Information Regarding Spectator for Normal and Tournament Play
Dear Burlingame Planning Commissioners and Planning Staff:
_- This letter is to provide additional information regarding spectator attendance for normal business
`' hours and tournament play. Bay Badminton Center during normal business hours will operate
similar to any gym or gymnasium (ie. 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's Gym) where entrance will be through
membership only or through a one-time fee. In this manner there will be no spectators during
- normal business hour.
During the two tournaments throughout the year we anticipate approximately 60 participants for
each tournament. These participants will normally come by themselves or with their family
members in one car. These will be the only spectators for the tournaments.
If there are any further questions please feel free to give me a call. Thank you very much.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the Ciry's Ordinance (Code
Section 25.52.020). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in
making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request. Please type or ��rite neatly

3.
Explain whv the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious fo
propertv or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or
convenience.
The proposed badminton center in the existing warehouse space will minimally impact the
neighborhood. The proposed use will be within the existing building which will contain any noise.
Also, food will not be served. The badminton courts will mainly be used for practice and casual play;
tournaments and spectator events will not held. Changes to the exterior of the building are limited to
improving handicap accessibility and adding more on-site parking spaces. Since parking will be
on-site, any inconvenience to the surrounding neighborhood will be negligible (see attached traffic
and parking study). The existing fire sprinkler and fre alarm system will remain to ensure public
safety. Overall, the addition of the interior badminton courts will provide a recreational facility to the
neighborhood which promotes exercise and group activities.
How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame
General P/an and Zoning Ordinance?
Currently the area is zoned for warehouse, distribution, manufacturing and automobile sales and
service. Our proposed use of the site will provide a recreational facility for the neighborhood and
employees in the area.
How wi/1 the proposed project be compatib/e with 1he aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of
the e_risting and potential uses on adjoining properties in the genera! vicinit��?
The proposed use of the building will take place inside the existing building. Changes to the exterior
are limited to improving handicap accessibility and providing more on-site parking spaces.

How wi/1 t/�e proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bu/k and
characler of the existing and potentia/ uses on adjoining properties in t/ze general
vicinity?
Since the proposed use wili take place inside the existing building, it will not change lhe appearance of the building and
remain compatible with its surrounding neighborhood. Exterior changes will be limited to improving handicap accessibilily
and providing more on-site parking.
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning
Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request.
Please type or write neatly in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these
questions.
a. Describe the exceptiona/ or extraordinary circumstances or conditions app/icable to your
propertv wlaich do not apply to other properties in this area.
We are required to provide a minimum of 206 parking spaces. However, due to the limited
size of the property we will only able to provide 101 parking spaces.
b. Explain whv the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantia! property right and what unreasonable propern� loss or unnecessary hardship
might result form the denial of the application.
The requirements of the law place an unreasonable limitation on the development of the
site. The number or parking spaces required is based on a model of a recreational facility
where a large number of spectators will be present to view a sporting event. This
requirement was chosen since there was none that fit our proposed use. The badminton
center will be used for training and casual play. No tournaments or spectator events will
take place.
c. Exp/ain why the proposed use at the proposed location wil! not be detrimenta/ or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to pub/ic health, safety, genera/
welfare or convenienee.
The badminton courts and all activities will be on the inside of the existing building.
Parking will be provided on-site with minimal impact to traffic and parking to the
surrounding neighborhood (see attached traffic and parking study).

Bay Badminton Center, Inc.
(2006)
founded by
Mr. Ronald Fong
Mr. Victor Lo
Mr. Harry Tan
Mission Statement:
To construct a gymnasium that would meet the standards of professional badminton players — to
be enjoyed by all who takes an interest in the sport of badminton — from diehard badminton
players to avid beginners.
To give this gymnasium a family onented, social friendly environment that will encourage young
adults and families with children explore the sport of badminton
To create a safe, ideal and healthy environment in which youngsters and adults can hangout and
enj oy.
The Gymnasium Itself:
Bay Badminton will have professional Robbins flooring, 16 well-spaced courts, locker rooms,
bleachers, common area, children's playroom, sufficient parking area, pro-shop & refreshment
area.
Bay Badminton will offer meinbership court play-time; professional coaching for all levels;
walk-in court play-time; and special programs for school age children, retirees and young adults.
Bay Badminton will also be in a position to hold and run tournaments once or twice a year,
offering sufficient parking, good bleacher seats and viewing areas and superb refreshments.
The majority of Bay Badminton's business will be conducted between the hours of
S:OOP-11:OOP M-F and 10:00A-11:OOP Sat-Sun.
Bay Badminton will join the Burlingame Chamber of Commerce and intends to become a pillar
in the community by providing emplo}nnent as the gym grows and by offering after-school and
summer programs to youths.
To Fill a Need:
Badminton, a widely beloved sport in Asia, is becoming more and more popular here in the USA
and there is a very real need for a gyinriasium of this stature.
Badminton is a fast, precise and beautiful sport that requires discipline, agility and skill. It
attracts and holds fast the attention of inen and women of all ages. Originally, it was considered
a young person's sport but today, men and women of all ages continue to compete well into their
50's and 60's. It is also a sport that encourages friendships and social rapport. It is not
surprising for someone to walk into a badminton gymnasium and immediately gets invited to
play a friendly game.
It has also come to our attention that young people today does not get enough exercise to keep in
shape and exhaust their tremendous supply of energy. Badminton is an inexpensive way to keep
our youths out of the streets while impressing upon them rules, discipline, skill, physical exercise
and camaraderie.
Unfortunately, badminton is a sport that is hard on the joints and the wrong flooring can cause
severe injuries. It is also a sport that is hard on the eyes and unsuitable lighting will cause
fatigue and strain. Currently there are simply not enough places/gyms in which to play the sport
of badminton. A gymnasium with superb flooring and adequate amenities is a very real
need.
To the City of Burlingame:
Bay Badminton Center would like to serve the City of Burlingame by providing a state-of-the-art
Badminton Center that would be open to people of all ages and backgrounds and physical
abilities. We will dra�v badminton lovers from surrounding Cities and they will stay to shop and
dine (on the weekends) in the lovely City of Burlingame. Bay Badminton will be here to
facilitate a caring and connected community.
Ideally, Bay Badminton will employ 14 employees: 1 fiill-time manager/accounting; 3 part-time
coaches; 3 full-time front desk sales (1 shift); 3 part-time front desk sales (1 shift); various part-
time assistants during peak hours (approximately 4). Bay Badminton approximates $300,000 in
payroll after the first year.
Bay Badminton has found a location that would fit it's needs at 1611 Adrian Road, Burlingame,
CA, 94010, a 33,000 square feet stand alone warehouse including 5,070sf of office space. The
leased space comes with 102 parking spaces. This space is ideal for our purposes.
We understand that sufficient parking is of great concern to the City of Burlingame. Please be
advised that most of Bay Badminton's business takes place after normal business hours (S:OOP-
11:OOP M-F; and 11:OOA-11:OOP Sat & Sun). Sixteen badminton courts will hold a maximum of
56 players at any one time (four singles courts and twelve doubles courts). Although we will
have 102 parking spaces that surrounds the warehouse... there are plenty of street parking as
well. We do not anticipate more than 80 people in the gymnasium at any one time. We also do
not anticipate that every person will drive their own vehicle to the gym.
The warehouse space at 1611 Adrian Road, Burlingame fits Bay Badminton's criteria for well-
spaced badminton courts. Bay Badminton will need to put in Robins grade flooring for the
sixteen courts. Existing lighting is good but insufficient and more lighting will need to be added.
Add a fresh coat of paint and the courts are ready to go! The office space already comes with
bathrooms, reception area and several well-spaced and well-placed rooms. All that needs to be
added is a men and women's locker rooms. This location is ideal in that it requires the least
amount of tenant improvement work.
Bay Badminton Team:
There are a total of three partners in this endeavor. Mr. Ronald Fong, Mr. Victor Lo and Mr.
Harry Tan, all of whom have been playing professional badminton for 20 or more years. Each
partner brings with him an area of expertise.

The above mentioned Cities are within a 15 mile radius of our target location. The population
within these cities and the median family income assures our target market has the people and
the means to make Bay Badminton Center a reality.
Marketing Strategies:
It is Bay Badminton's intention to start marketing as soon as the site is approved. To start, Bay
Badminton �vill use flyers and place ads in several newspapers to reach our initial set of inembers.
While the gym is undergoing tenant improvements, the owners will go out in teams of 2 to visit
various schools and community centers to build up recognition and to share programs and build
partnerships. Bay Badminton is also looking into several radio spots for a period of three months
to gain exposure.
Bay Badminton Center will have a user-friendly website as well. The �vebsite will include a
menu of all our programs and events as well as valuable links for the Badminton fans.
Eventually, word of mouth will be our strongest marketing tool. We believe that nothing will
convince people more than high praise from existing members. Bay Badminton's first priority is
to create a wholesome environment catered to the badminton player.
Growth and Expansion Plans:
The three owners of Bay Badminton plans to meet once a month to access the progress of the
gym's programs, to solve any existing problems/concerns and to continually come up with
innovative ideas to manage the gym and grow revenues. The three partners will take a
completely hands on approach to assure the success of Bay Badminton.
Target Clientele:
At present, Bay Badminton has four (4) target clienteles.
1) Diehard Badminton Players
2) The Occasional Badminton Player
3) Children ages 5-18
4) The Afternoon Crowd
For the Diehard Badminton Players: Bay Badminton will offer membership at $50/mo. along
with membership privileges. These players know and respect the game of badminton and will
need little or no guidance in the game. Bay Badminton targets 500 Diehard Badminton Players.
They will pay their monthly dues, come in, freely use the gyms facilities and play their game.
We will offer to string rackets for these people at $15 per racket as well as offer a pro shop that
will cater to their needs. Bay Badminton will also hold tournaments for these people to play in.
For the Occasional Badminton Players: These are people who are not sure that they want to
commit to the monthly dues as they may not plan to play regularly. Bay Badminton will charge
the Occasional Badminton Player a$8/walk-in fee. Bay Badminton targets 50 walk-in players
per evening. Our coaches will also offer to play games with them should they be a player short.
Bay Badminton will offer to these players professional coaching lessons if they desire at
$30/hour. They have free access/use of Bay Badminton's facilities once they enter the gym.
Bay Badminton is also offering to these Occasional Players a�25/mo. membership that will
allow them to play up to 4 times a month. This way, they too, will enjoy membership privileges.
For Children ages 5-18: Bay Badminton Coaching School will offer classes to children of all
ages and all levels. There will be an array of after school programs that will teach children
discipline, sportsmanship, and above all, badminton. After all, healthy minds and healthy bodies
are equally desirable. Bay Badminton will work with local schools and youth centers to attract
students. Children will be coached and afterwards, have supervised play time. Bay Badminton
intends to start with five (5) classes of different levels, each meeting once a week with two hours
total play time, at between $80.00/mo to $160.00/mo. Bay Badminton targets 70 students the
first year, eventually working up to 150 students a year. Bay Badminton is also planning
summer programs for extensive badminton training.
For the Afternoon Crowd: Bay Badminton will open the gymnasium for those who wants to
use the gym from 10:00A-2:OOP for a quick warkout. These clients will consists of homemakers,
workers, members and seniors in and around the area. Bay Badminton will charge a very
reasonable S3hvalk-in fee. They have free access/use of Bay Badminton's facilities once they
enter the gym.
The Competition:
There are currently four and only four other badminton gymnasiums in Northern California
today that we consider our competition. Each one of these badminton gymnasiums are located at
least 20 minutes from our target location. We've put together a list of what we see as their
strengths and weaknesses. While each one of these gyms are currently thriving, we believe that
the badminton market is still not saturated and needs yet more space for people to play.

As a concerned citizen, it has been brought to my attention that an application for
a sports facility to be located in a commercial/industrial/manufacturing building on
Adrian Road, has been submitted to the city for consideration.
I want to caution the city on reviewing this application because I believe it is in
direct conflict with current zoning and usage in the Adrian Road area, and that it
could pose a real danger and safety hazard to members of the community
traveling through this area and using the facility for the following reasons:
a. Badminton is a social, family activity, and many people will be traveling
through an industrial area trafficked with large tractor trailers and big
rigs coming and going to make deliveries. It would be horrible if
something terrible were to happen to school age children trying to
participate in sports traveling on bikes to the facility or walking in the
parking areas and coming face to face with a large delivery truck. How
will traffic be handled with the large rigs and the smaller cars? Will
there be a traffic study?
b. Another issue is the exhaust discharge into a building with an athletic
facility during deliveries. I am not sure an environmental study would
be sufficient to determine the risk to people's long term health. How
will you determine if this usage is environmentally safe?
c. Seems odd to me to place a recreation facility in the same building
housing industrial/commercial and light manufacturing. How do you
determine if the proper use?
d. With the large scale of the project you could easily have in excess of
100 people in the facility in the evening. This is a major traffic problem.
In addition, what are the city's requirements for a large public gathering
place for parking? Is it safe for the public to use the street parking at
night? Is there enough lighting to assure clear visibility to the public as
they return to their cars at night?
e. Will the combination of a sports facility and an industrial use create a
dangerous mix in the event of fire? How will fire safety concerns be
addressed?
In closing, who would be responsible if someone had an accident with a delivery
truck or for health hazards created by having industrial manufacturing in the
same property?
Again, I provide this as a concerned citizen because this does not appear to

To Whom It May Concern:
Jan. 23, 2007
My name is Ben Lee and I am writing to you on behalf of the proposed Bay Badminton
Center located in Burlingaine, California. First, let me give a short suminary of who I am.
I am a Bay Area native and currently live in the San Jose area. I gre�v up playing many
different sports �vith an emphasis on the sport of badminton. Once I started to compete in
tournaments for badminton, it became mv primary snort. I represented the United States
in many different intenlational competitions far badminton including the 1992 Olympic
Games in Barcelona, Spain. Some other competitions include the Pan American Games,
World Championships and Thomas Cup Team competitions.
Through the years as an athlete, it has been a stru�gle to find suitable facilities to train
and practice. I was forced to share gymnasium space with other sports and in many cases,
was forced to sacrifice my �ym time to accommodate other sports. Through my own
determination, I never lost focus on my Olympic dream and pressed on. I constantly
drove all over the Bay Area to different facilities to get in my practice time. Finally, when
I reached Olympic caliber level, I was forced to live overseas in Europe in order to find
adequate training facilities. It was a huge sacrifice I decided to make in order to pursue
my dreams and goals.
I am in full support of the proposed Bay Badminton Center. This new facility will not
only benefit the community of Burlingame, but will give our young athletes the
opportunity to achieve their goals and dreams. I have already offered my services as an
advisor, coach and consultant to the partners of the proposed Bay Badminton Center at no
charge.
There are currently tour other badminton facilities in the Bay Area and each of them are
succeeding very well. Each of them benefits the community by offering community
programs that can be affiliated with the City's Parks and Recreation department.
Badminton pro� ams can be offered to participants of all ages. This can also include
senior programs. The opportunities with a project like a badminton facility are endless.
Ideas can be shared with the director of Parks and Recreation as well as community
leaders.
Finally, the opporttuiity the proposed badminton facility will bring to our young athletes
will be priceless. Training sessions with qualified coaches, reserved court time, video
recorded training sessions and review, physical training with court specific training are
just some of the thin�s the proposed facility can offer to our young athletes. These are

things that I never had the opportunity to have. With some of these things, we hope to
produce world champion athletes and help our young athletes of today and tomorrow.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If there are any questions that I can answer
for you, please do not hesitate to call me at the above telephone number.

Simply put, our lovely City of Burlingame has all the right amenities; and a badminton

My name is Ben Lee and 1 am wTiting to you in regards to the proposed 8adminton facility
located at 1611 Adrian Road in Burlingarrae, I would like to address the traffic flou� and
parking situation that has raised some questions within the planning department.
Let me start by stating that I have personal experience with ihe traffic k7ow and parking
pertaining to a badminton facility because I was the Co-founder of the Golden Gace
Badminton Club located in Menlo Park. This is an identical type of business also located ia a
very simila►• type of location setting as the pro}�osed site for Adrian Road (I have enclosed a
map from vfapquest to show locations). The Burlingame Badminton Club currently has
16,389 sq ft and the proposed Bay Badminton Center has 36,600 sq ft. .As you can see, the
square footage is a little more chan dauble but the available parking spaces for the proposed
�ay Badminton Center is almost five times that of Golden Gate Badminton Club.
The existing site in ;vlenlo Park is currently operating wich about half the square footage as
the proposed site but with only� about 23°/a of the parking spaces, Up to date, there have been
no complaints or issues pertainin� to both the traff`ic flow along the service road or the
parking situation.
Just to recap, the facility in Menlo Park is an eight court badminton f'acility and the pzoposed
site is l6 couns. Menlo Park has only 2� pArking spaces (22 with 1 for handicap) and the
proposed facility in Burlingame will have 101 parking spaees. From personal experience and
having been involved in Bay Area badminton for more than 31 years, ihis is more than ampte
parking spaces for such a proposed facility_ At the peak times of operation for the proposed
facility�, which is approximately 7:30 PNl, we are anticipating only about 48 of the parking
spaces being occupied. Again, chis is assuming that the facility will be operating at maximum
couct capacity,
1 hope this will shed some light on what is needed as far as parking for the type of business
that is proposed. If you have any further questians, please do n�t hesitate to cal� me at 408-
422-2379 and I will be more than happy to discuss the issue further. Thank y�u very much
for vour attention.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Brownrigg,
I would like to give my appreciation for such a prompt and detailed reply. Yes, I did realise the email
would reveal my name, but I would appreciate that my letter remain anonymous at your study tonight.
Thank you most graciously.
I am very happy with your attention to this issue which I find is vitally important to keeping our
community safe and hazard free. Although I do condone good athletic facilities, I am very health
conscious myself, I believe my concerns are not in vain nor unreasonable. It is a fact that all the other
fitness facilities you mention above are for one primary purpose only, that of a purely
fitness/recreational facility. In my observation, they have taken all necessary
environmental and various research studies before being granted permission to conduct their business.
My concern here is that this particular study item is proposed to be used as both Industrial and
recreational intended far a large gathering of people as far as I know. I would hope you can agree with
me to find this detail rather unusual, as well as against all common sense for safety, and worthy of all the
thorough studies the other facilities were deemed mandatory at the time.
I hope you won't mind that I have also cc'd Mr. Ruben Huren whom I found is the planner for this study
item throltgh the online meeting agenda.
Once again, Thank you for your reply to my concerns.
Sincere Regards, PW

Dear Mr Weiss:
Your hardcopy letter, which was included in our packet, requested anonymity, but of course email does not afford that
luxury al���ays. Please let the City Planner know whether you would still prefer that your letter be referred to anonymously
at tonight's meeting.
With regard to your specific concerns, this is a study item tonight and the Commission ��ill direct staff to review any and
all issues we believe need to be understood before a decision can be rendered. I am quite sure many or all of your
concerns will be among those studied by staff and the Commission.
That said, in our review of the land uses for Rollins Road/North End two years ago, the Commission and the public
specifically reviewed the merits of having more fitness facilities such as Prime Time, baseball, paintball and basketball,
which draw the public, in the Rollins Road area that is also Burlingame's industrial center. The Conmlission and the
public agreed that it «�as not ideal for several of the reasons that you mention, but that it was a trend that the people of
Burlingame wanted to maintain, and therefore we did not exclude such uses in this area.

I want to caution the city on reviewing this application very
