100 Costa Rica Avenue
City of Burlingame Item No. 8a
Design Review and Conditional Use Permits
Regular Action Item
Address: 100 Costa Rica Avenue Meeting Date: September 28, 2020
Request: Application for Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family
dwelling and Conditional Use Permits for a new detached garage.
Applicant and Designer: Gleason & Gleason Design Partners
Property Owner: Kristine Furrer
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 028-293-190
Lot Area: 7,045 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions
to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase
of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Background: The subject property is located within the Burlingame Park No. 2 subdivision. Based upon
documents that were submitted to the Planning Division by a Burlingame property owner in 2009, it was
indicated that the entire Burlingame Park No. 2, Burlingame Park No. 3, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood
Park subdivisions may have historical characteristics that would indicate that properties within this area could be
potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. Therefore, for any
property located within these subdivisions, a Historic Resource Evaluation must be prepared prior to any
significant development project being proposed to assess whether the existing structure(s) could be potentially
eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places.
A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for this property by Page & Turnbull, Inc., dated November 26,
2019. The results of the evaluation concluded that 100 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear to be individually
eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria.
Project Description: The subject property is a corner lot and contains an existing split level house with an
attached garage. The applicant is proposing to convert the existing attached garage into living area and a first
floor addition at the front of the house. A second floor addition at the rear of the house is also proposed. The
existing accessory structure will be replaced with a new 455 SF detached garage in the same location on the lot.
The proposed house and detached garage will total 2,882 SF (0.41 FAR) where 3,504 SF (0.50 FAR) is the
maximum allowed.
With this application, the number of bedrooms will be increasing from three to four. Two off-street parking
spaces, one of which must be covered, are required for a four-bedroom house. The detached garage provides
one covered parking space (10 -0" x 20'-0" clear interior dimensions) and an uncovered parking space (9' x 20')
is provided in the driveway leading to the garage. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling and new
detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010(a)(2));
■ Conditional Use Permit for a half bath in a detached accessory structure (C.S. 25.06.010Q)); and
■ Conditional Use Permit for enclosing pool equipment within the detached accessory structure located
within 10 feet of property line (C.S.25.60.010 (k)).

Design Review and Conditional Use Permits 100 Costa Rica Avenue
The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans, date stamped September 21, 2020, to address the
Commission's concerns. Please refer to the applicant's response letter (attached) for a full response to the
Planning Commission's suggestions.
Analysis and Recommendation by Design Reviewer: The design review consultant met with the project
designer/applicant to address the Planning Commission's main concerns. Please refer to the attached design
reviewer's analysis for a detailed review of the project and recommendation. The design reviewer notes thatthe
"proposed style of the residence will blend in well with the existing neighborhood". Based on the design review
analysis of the project, the design reviewer supports approval of the project as proposed.
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
1. Compatibility of the architectural sryle with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. InterFace of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the proposed project
(featuring hip and gable roofs, proportional plate heights, wood and stucco siding) is compatible with the variety
of styles that define the character of the neighborhood, and that the windows and architectural elements of the
proposed structure are placed so that the structure respects the interface with the structures on adjacent
properties. Therefore, the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design
review criteria.
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
Suggested Conditional Use Permit Findings: The proposed accessory structure will accommodate a single
covered parking space and will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the viciniry as it will
not contain accessory living space for the main residence. The accessory structure will be finished with materials
to match the existing house. The proposed half bath (a sink and a toilet) will not have a window within 10 feet of
any property line and will not be visible from the exterior of the structure. That enclosure of the pool equipment
will minimize noise to surrounding neighbors. For these reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with
the requirements of the City's Conditional Use Permit criteria.

Commissioner Comaroto was recused because she lives within 500 feet from the property.
All Commissioners have visited the project site. Commissioner Terrones while visiting the site was visited
by nerghbors asking questions about what was being requested, and did not get addresses for those
neighbors. Commissioner Schmid had a brief visit with the neighbor across the street on Costa Rica
during the site visit, but did not ta/k about anything substantial.
Community Development Director Gardiner provided an overview of the staff report.
Questions of staff
> Need to receive the plans as half size sets so they can be measured - not l 1"x 17".
> Where the new proposed d�iveway is being slid to the back of the property, there's an existing utility
po/e with a tension support which extends about 8 feet from the pole which would obstruct the garage
approach. Don't know how that will be addressed as an issue of constructability. (Gardiner: We could ask
the applicant that when we get to fhe questions for the applicant.)
Chair Tse opened the public hearing.
Don and Rela Gleason, represented the applicant with the property owner Kristine Furrer Crouch.
Commrssion Questions/Comments:
> (G/eason: We have /ooked at the e/ectrica/ pole that you spoke of; and there is a way to maneuver the
driveway so it doesn't have to impede on the pole. That has to do with the /andscape design and how the
driveway is going to bend in fo reach the garage.)
> This can be a handsome design and nice project, but noi sure because of some clarifications we
need in ihe drawings. In looking at the west e/evation, the items that are shown next to the windows, are
those shutters of some sort? They're not called out on the drawing, so if we could get that noted.
(G/eason: Yes they are shutters.)
> On the same e/evation towards the rear of the house, we're seeing what /ooks to be a dormer with
your keynote number 7- doub/e pane aluminum sash window. That dormer doesn't show up on the roof
City of Burlingame page 1 Prinfed on 9/24/2020
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 13, 2020
p/an like the other dormers. Not sure how that dormer aligns with the window thaYs in the master suite. but
the window looks like its shown wall-to-wall on that exterior. IYs not drawn like that on the other dormers.
A/so, what is the scale of that dormer7 (Gleason: Correct. It will look exactly like the others. Thank you for
calling that out.)
> On the south elevation, you're showing what looks to be a large acorn-shaped light fixture next to the
larger doors and french doors, is it real/y intended to be that size? It /ooks like it would be fhree or four
feet tall. (G/eason: It's not three or four feet tall. It's about 28 inches tall. IYs is supposed to be a gas
lantern.)
> If you're not familiar a/ready, there's a requirement for the exterior light fixtures that they have to be
downcast and they don't shine at the other properties and maximum wattage, etcetera. (G/eason: There's
no neighbor on that side. A/so we can drop the height of that fixture because iYs on a hook, and we can
make it any height we want. lYs shielded to the other neighbor by the roof of the new entry and there is
very mature /andscaping there, so it wou/d not be visib/e from the street.)
> On the north e/evation facing the backyard, the dormer on the front of the house is not shown.
(Gleason: Correct.) On the east e/evation where dormers are shown, they don't appear to align with where
the windows are occurring on the p/an. So if you could check that, you have one on the window into the
master bath and one in the master bedroom area. These dormers don't seem to a/ign. The dormer on the
lefr is going to benefit by being further into the roof area if the plan is correct with where you want that
window into the master bedroom. (G/eason: Yes.)
> You said that the mature trees are going to remain. It seems like there's a/ot of hedge going on the
sidewalk along Barroilhet Avenue and Costa Rica Avenue. IYs out quite a ways. Is there a plan to trim
them7 (G/eason: Yes, we're going to be cleaning them up, pruning them, and trimming them down
because there's a lot of ivy thaYs grown into them and we need them to get sunlight and fill out. We plan
on doing that early in construction so they have time to fill out again and look good.) (Crouch: 1 cou/d cut
those back as well. I cut those back last month because it was hard to wa/k on the sidewalk, so they're
trimmed back from two weeks ago.)
> What is the height of the building? (Gleason: The top of the ridge from the finished floor is 25'-3". The
top of the ridge to the average top of curb is 28'-6". The /ot s/opes slight/y from south to north and also
from east to west.)
There we�e no public comments.
Chair Tse closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion/Direction:
> This has the potential for being a well-crafted design. Some of the inconsistencies in the drawings
makes it difficu/t. Like the direction this is going.
> Have the concerns with the uti/ity po/e and the guy wire. The comment was made by the design team
that the driveway in the landscaping can are curved around it, 6ut thaYs not shown on the /andscape p/an .
WhaYs shown on the landscape p/an is a straight shot driveway that comes in right at the corner of the
property. So as the driveway is going to come around off the existing curb-cut, then those rarsed planters
have to get revised. The hedge infill will have to get revised and some of the drawing issues with the
inconsistency with the floor plan needs to get updated. Would benefit from design review consulting.
> Can make the findings /n terms of the application for design review and conditional use permit for the
bathroom, the new detached garage and the poo/ equipment in the accessory structure. They're re/atively
straight fonvard and we've approved similar requests in the past.
> Has the potential to be a good project. It was just hard to read from the drawings. Also wou/d agree
with the design review consultant, it would just streamline the application process here for the applicant
and it would get us to approval of drawings more quick/y.
> The roof p/an was very confusing and can't make sense of it. IYs a very odd design. It might be nice,
but it sort of looks like it wants to have a f/at roof. /t's so unusual, it looks like an Irish thatched-root
cottage. Not sure that it fits into the neighborhood. Don't want to get into making decisions about the
sty/e, there's so much about the project that just doesn't make sense. The drawings have to be much
CityofBurlingame page 2 Printed on 9/24/2020
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 13, 2020
more refined to be approved.
> The elevations and the design a�e handsome. It has ihe possibility of going a real/y nice direction. The
split leve/s are fun, it creates an exciting dynamic to a project but it's different. The design consu/tant
could he/p with the format of this presentation so the drawings work well and they're a bit more consistent
with the way we see other kinds of projects come through. It wou/d make it a/ot easier for us to make it
approvable because then the informatron that we're looking for and expecting wou/d be there.
> There's some very interesting design e/ements to this home and it has some great potential. Had a
hard time reading the drawings, and want to suggest that in the next go around that there will be better
utilization of the white space on the sheet, maybe an en/arged p/an and maximize the drawing on each
sheet. Also maybe better differentiate some of the /ine weights on each of the drawings, that wou/d help
us to understand and read the context of the plans and drawings better.
(G/eason: Is it possible to make one c/arification, comment7)
Chair Tse opened the pub/ic hearing.
(G/eason: I'm not sure from the comments that this was clear. It is an existing split leve/ house. The
second floor additior, thaYs referenced is only the size of the boxed out window. IYs about 12 square feet.)
(Crouch: It is only one room. 1 current/y have an upstairs bedroom and bath.) (G/eason: The staff report
suggested to me when 1 read it that the second story addition was a major deal. IYs not. The plate height
has been raised to allow us to expand the living space. So anyway. I just wanted to make sure that was
c/ear.)
Chair Tse closed the public hearing.
> It seems like al! commissione�s are in agreement that some more attention to the drafting of the set
of drawings can he/p us understand your proposed plans better, and so we hope that you can take that
opportunity to do that rn this next go around.
> Do want to follow up on the comment made by the app/icant that the second story doesn't amount to
much. There's something odd about the building and iYs c/aiming a/ot of vertical space for not having
much going on upstairs. If the second floor is not that important, this building is saying something
comp/ete/y different. It's saying the second floor of fhis bui/ding and everything up high is real/y important
because you've got this 11-1/2:12 roof. There's a/ot of space being c/aimed for a building. Don't care
whether you use the space or not, but iYs making a statement thaYs not in agreement with what we just
heard about this building.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Loftis, to refer the
application to a design review consultant. The motion carried by the following vote:

DATE: 9/20/20
RE: 100 COSTA RICA AVE
PROPOSED PLAN REVISIONS DATED 8/31/20
VVe have submitted revisions dated 8/31/20 to the proposed plans for the 100 Costa Rica
project which are responsive to the Planning Commission's comments from the July 13, 2020
meeting, and to input from Catherine Nilmeyer, the Design Review Consultant assigned
following that meeting. The purpose of this memo is to summarize these revisions.
P�RAWING SIZE AND READABILITY: The 8/31/20 drawing set are all reproduced at 12" x 18".
Small font sizes have been increased for readability. New walls are poche'd for clarity (A2).
COORDINATION: Elevations, plan view, and roof plan are coordinated so components
Eparticularly dormers) align and are shown consistently.
CAPTIONS AND LABELLING: Certain captions which were noted as missing have been added or
corrected (Shutters at A4.1, A4.2, A4.3, A4.4; 6" T&G siding at second floor boxed window at
A4.1 and A4.4).
CODE COMPLIANCE: Windows required for emergency egress at BR1, BR2, and Master are
shown as operable casements on elevations (A4.1, A4.3, A4.4). Windows at east garage wall
too close to property line have been eliminated. Large "acorn" light fixtures at south and north
elevations have been eliminated. Toilet at powder room has been rotated 90 degrees for
�dequate clearance.
DIRIVEWAY: Driveway has been rerouted to avoid utility pole guy wire eight feet from pole
lotated at rear property line. New alignment uses existing curb cut. Driveway shown on L1.

Design Guidelines:
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing
character of the neighborhood.
The proposed style of the residence will blend in well with the existing
neighborhood. Many of the homes in the area were built in a similar era
and, even though several have been remodeled, many have retained the
style of architecture on the block.
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood.
The homes in the area have both attached and detached garages. This
existing residence currently has the garage attached at the rear of the
house. In the proposed remodeling, the garage will become detached at
the rear of the praperty; following suit with the preferred method in
Burlingame Design Review.
3. Architectural style and consistency of mass and bulk of structures,
including accessory structures.
The existing exterior stucco finish is to be utilized, while adding horizontal
wood siding to break up the elevations and add interest. Although the
proposed fioor plans are not dissimilar to the existing spaces, the roof
height has been raised over these spaces adding a more dramatic visual
elevation. The proposed garage will reflect the characteristics of the
proposed residence.
4. Interface of the proposed str'uCture with the structures on adjacent
properties.
The home to the North, 112 Costa Rica is to be remodeled. 100 Costa
Rica will have only a single story garage adjacent to the driveway at 112
CR with no impact.
1620 Barriolhet, the neighbor to the East is distanced by a driveway and a
fence with vines. This residence has iwo large bedroom windows facing
the 100 Costa Rica property. The placement of the 100 Costa Rica's
proposed second story windows are not aligned and are much smaller
windows, with no impact to its neighbor.
5, Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of the structural
components.
Currently there is much overgrown landscape protecting privacy between
properties. Much of this will be pruned, but stilf allow privacy to adjacent
properties.
6. In the case of an addition, compatibi(ity with the architectural style
and character of the existing structure as remodeled.
Although the style of the proposed structure is much taller, due to the
steeper roof slope, the designer has incorporated similar materials from
the existing residence, such as stucco exterior and many similar window
placements.
Comments:
The designers has listened to comments presented by the Planning
Commissioners. They have worked on drawings which make them easier to
read and resolved inconsistencies between Floor Plans and Elevations. I made
some suggestions on code issues so as to avoid having to return to Planning if
revisions were to be made by Building Department.
I believe this design proposed wil! be a beautiful addition to the neighborhood,
while providing the homeowner with her requests and requirements. •

City of Burlingame
Design Review and Conditional Use Permits
Address: 100 Costa Rica Avenue
Item No. 9b
Design Review Study
Meeting Date: July 13, 2020
Request: Application for Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family
dwelling and Conditional Use Permits for a new detached garage.
Applicant and Designer: Gleason & Gleason Design Partners
Property Owner: Kristine Furrer
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 028-293-190
Lot Area: 7,045 SF
Zoning: R-1
Background: The subject property is located within the Burlingame Park No. 2 subdivision. Based upon
documents that were submitted to the Planning Division by a Burlingame property owner in 2009, it was
indicated that the entire Burlingame Park No. 2, Burlingame Park No. 3, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood
Park subdivisions may have historical characteristics that would indicate that properties within this area could be
potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. Therefore, for any
property located within these subdivisions, a Historic Resource Evaluation must be prepared prior to any
significant development project being proposed to assess whetherthe existing structure(s) could be potentially
eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places.
A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for this property by Page & Turnbull, Inc., dated November 26,
2019. The results of the evaluation concluded that 100 Costa Rica Avenue does not appear to be individually
eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria.
Project Description: The subject property is a corner lot and contains an existing split level house with an
attached garage. The applicant is proposing to convert the existing attached garage into living area and a first
floor addition at the front of the house. A second floor bump out at the rear of the house is also proposed. The
existing accessory structure will be replaced with a new 455 SF detached garage in the same location on the lot.
The proposed house and detached garage will total 2,882 SF (0.41 FAR) where 3,504 SF (0.50 FAR) is the
maximum allowed.
With this application, the number of bedrooms will be increasing from three to four. Two off-street parking
spaces, one of which must be covered, are required for a four-bedroom house. The detached garage provides
one covered parking space (10'-0" x 20'-0" clear interior dimensions) and an uncovered parking space (9' x 20')
is provided in the driveway leading to the garage. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling and new
detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010(a)(2));
• Conditional Use Permit for a half bath in a detached accessory structure (C.S. 25.06.010(j)); and
■ Conditional Use Permit for enclosing pool equipment within the detached accessory structure
(C.S.25.60.010 (k)).
This space intentionally left blank.
