MPE prepared the Geotechnical Engineering Report and foundation support recommendations for the project and is providing a full scope of construction materials testing including soils, concrete, and welding. Construction of new conventional foundations exposed challenging structural backfill conditior�s due to loose and caving sands. MPE worked with the contractor and structural engineer to come up a cost effective and innovative solution to allow re-use of the on-site sands excavated from foundations as a Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) saving time and expense compared to typical compacted engineered backfill or imported slurry materials. A specialty contractor was retained to mix the on-site sands with its proprietary equipment and MPE provided engineering support and trial mix design for the CLSM. ., .�;. ._ 4�;�� . .�-ta `� ��� � - � , � City of Burlingame Conditional Use Permit Address: 1625 Adrian Road Item No. '� Action Item Meeting Date: November 26, 2012 Request: Application for Conditional Use Permit to vary from the criteria to add automobile sales to an existing automobile service facility (Peter Pan BMW Service). Applicant: Peter Pan BMW, c/o Will Banning APN: 025-262-330 Property Owner: William Spencer Lot Area: 110,565 SF (2.53 acres) Zoning: RR, Automobile Sales and Service Overlay Area General Plan: Industrial Uses: Industrial & Office Use North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan Area — Adrian Road Auto Row District Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301, which states that existing facilities, consisting of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination are exempt from environmental review. Current Use: Automotive service facility (Peter Pan BMW Service). Proposed Use: Add automobile sales to existing automotive service facility. Permitted Use: Conditional Use Permit required to vary from the criteria for automobile sales. Adjacent Development: Manufacturing, distribution, commercial recreation and warehouse uses. Project Description: On October 27, 2008, the Planning Commission approved an application for commercial design review and variances for build-to line and landscaping for an addition and remodel of an existing commercial building for an automotive service facility (Peter Pan BMW Service) at this site. The Peter Pan BMW service facility has been operating at this location since 2009. The applicant would now like to offer sales of pre-owned vehicles at this site. The applicant anticipates selling approximately 15 to 20 vehicles per month. Interior modifications would include replacing four customer waiting stations with two sales consultant stations. A total of two to three full-time sales employees are expected on weekdays and weekends, before and after 5:00 p.m. The applicant anticipates approximately 10-15 customers per day on weekdays and weekends. The applicant notes that the City of Burlingame would be listed as the point of sale for all transactions occurring from the vehicle sales operation located at this site and therefore would receive the sales tax revenue from automobile sales at this site (see condition of approval #3). There would be no alterations to the exterior of the building. Vehicles for sale would be displayed within the front portion of the building (currently a circulation and customer lounge/waiting area), as well as in the open spaces in front of the building (see plans date stamped October 30, 2012). On-site parking spaces would not be used to display vehicles. The subject property is zoned RR and is located within the Automobile Sales and Service Overlay Area. An automobile sales use is allowed as a permitted use as long as the following criteria are met: ■ A minimum site size of five (5) acres; and ■ A floor area ratio of not more than 0.15. Since the site size is 2.53 acres and less than the required 5 acres, a request for a Conditional Use Permit to vary from the criteria to add automobile sales is required. The automobile sales portion of the business would not exceed 0.15 FAR since it only comprises of two sales stations and display of a few vehicles within the existing building. The applicant is requesting the following application: ■ Conditional Use Permit to vary from the criteria to add automobile sales to an existing automobile service facility (Peter Pan BMW Service) (C.S. 25.44.050 (b) (1)). Conditional Use Permit 1625 Adrian Road The existing automotive service facility contain service uses (32,436 SF), office uses (4,532 SF), storage uses (8,400 SF) and parts showroom (1,776 SF). Based on the parking ratios associated with these uses, the on-site parking demand for the proposed service facility is 67 parking spaces. A total of 79 parking spaces are provided on-site where a minimum of 67 parking spaces are required for the proposed use. This application includes replacing a customer waiting area (calculated for parking purposes as office use) with two sales consultant stations. Since there is no intensification of use proposed, no additional on-site parking is required. Staff Comments: Planning staff would note that because of the nature of the request to add automobile sales to an existing automotive service facility, it was determined that this request could be brought forward directly as an Action Item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be continued forfurther study. Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020, a-c): (a) The proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience; (b) The proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general plan and the purposes of this title; (c) The planning commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application, and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered: 1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division and date stamped October 30, 2012; 2. that this Conditional Use Permit at 1625 Adrian Road shall be for automobiles sales in an existing automotive service facility with indoor and outdoor display of vehicles; 3. that the City of Burlingame shall be listed as the point of sale for all transactions occurring from the vehicle sales operation located at 1625 Adrian Road, Burlingame; 4. that vehicles for sale may not be displayed in any required on-site parking spaces, driveways, drive aisles or fire lanes; 5. that no vehicles shall be loaded or off-loaded from vehicle carriers on Adrian Road or any other public right-of-way; vehicles shall be loaded and off-loaded on-site; and 6. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Uniform Fire Codes, 2010 Edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.

Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in making the decision as t� 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. 1. Explain why fhe proposed use at the proposed location wil/ not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public hea/tf►, safety, genera! welfare or convenience. 1 We are requesting the ability to sell pre-owned vehicles from the existing automotive service/repair facility as an additional service for our guests and an accessory to the business. This added use does not require modifications to the building exterior or traffic flow, nor does it require a significant increase in employee count. Therefore, the changes will not be detrimental or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or convenience. 2. 2 iiaw wiii the proposed use be iocated and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame General Plan and Zoning Ordinance? The proposed use is allowed within the current zoning (Automobile Sales & Service Overlay Area). We are requesting the CUP to allow auto sales since the facility does not meet the minimum site size or floor area ratio. It should be noted, however, that the proposed added use will be an accessory business, not the primary. The proposed use will be run out of the existing automobile service/repair facility. Slight interior furniture modifications are required to accommodate the use, however, the facility already is capable of displaying vehicles within the footprint of the building. No changes are being proposed to the site or exterior/structure of the building. 3. How will the proposed project be compatible with fhe aesthetics, mass, bulk and characfer of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity? 3 Not applicable. No changes are being made to the exterior of the existing facility.
