Design Review and Special Permit
Address: 1340 Vancouver Avenue
Item No.8c
Regular Action
Meeting Date: August 25, 2014
Request: Application for Design Review and a Special Permit for Declining Height Envelope for first and
second story additions to an existing two-story dwelling and a new detached garage.
Applicant and Architect: Marla Kozinczuk, Winder Gibson Architects APN: 026-064-240
Property Owners: Amita Jain and Niteen Patkar Lot Area: 6,000 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential
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.
Project Description: The subject property slopes down approximately ten (10) feet from the front to the
rear property line. The existing house is split level, with a first floor and a lower level half story. There is a
detached garage at the rear, right side of the property. The applicant is proposing additions to the existing
lower level and to the first floor, to add a new second story, and to build a new detached garage. With the
proposed additions and the new garage, the floor area on site will be 3,200 SF (0.53 FAR) where 3,240 SF
(0.54) FAR is the maximum allowed. The proposed project is within 1% of the maximum allowable FAR.
There is currently an area at the right side of the lower level that contains a laundry, stairs, and a landing.
With the proposed addition, the applicant will remove most of the walls in this area and lower the existing
floor joists above it to create a single enclosed space with a ceiling height of no greater than 5'-11" The new
area will be used as storage and is not included in the floor area calculations because it has a ceiling height
of less than 6'-0".
The proposed design requires a special permit for encroachment into the declining height envelope on the
left side. C.S.25.26.075(2) states that no structure shall extend above or beyond the declining height
envelope except: window enclosures which create no more than thirty-five (35) square feet of floor area
within the structure and have a length no greater than ten (10) feet. At least twenty-five (25) percent of the
face of such enclosure as measured between the finished floor and the plate line shall be window area.
There are two window enclosures on the left elevation and both meet the requirements for a window
enclosure exception. However, the total square footage of both enclosures is 65 SF where a maximum of
35 SF encroachment is allowed per side. Therefore, the proposed 35 SF window enclosure at the bedroom
is exempt from the declining height envelope and the applicant is requesting a special permit for a 30 SF
encroachment into the declining height envelope by the proposed window enclosure at the stairs.
With the proposed additions, the number of potential bedrooms on site will increase from three (3) to four
(4). The existing detached garage on site is non-conforming in covered parking space length. This garage
will be demolished and a new detached garage will be built on the rear, right side of the property. Two
parking spaces are required for a four-bedroom house, one of which must be covered. The proposed
detached garage will provide one covered space (10' x 20'). There is one uncovered space (9' x 20') 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 second story addition to an existing single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a)(2) ); and
■ Special Permit for construction exceeding the limits of the declining height envelope (C.S. 25.26.035 (c) ).

Design Review and Special Permit 1340 VancouverAvenue
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on July 14,
2014, the Commission had suggestions regarding this project and referred it to a design review consultant
for additional design changes (July 14, 2014 Planning Commission Minutes). The Commission voted to
place this item on the regular action calendar when the consultant process had been completed and revised
plans submitted.
The architect, property owners, and design review consultant met on one occasion and discussed further
revisions to the proposed project through emails. The design review consultant has recommended the
approval of the revised plans in a design review recommendation dated August 11, 2014.
The architect has submitted a response letter date stamped August 11, 2014, sketches of the proposed
project elevations, date stamped August 20, 2014, Sheets 1-3, and revised plans, date stamped August 15,
2014, to address the suggestions made by the Planning Commission at the Design Review Study hearing.
For a detailed list of the comments made by the Planning Commission, please refer to the July 14, 2014
Planning Commission minutes.
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 style 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.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit, the Planning Commission must find that
the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a-d):
(a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition
are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood;
(b) the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure
or addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood;
(c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and
(d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is
consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation for the removal that is
proposed is appropriate.
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 date stamped
August 15, 2014, sheets A0.0 through A3.4 and L2.0; including a ceiling height of no more than 5'-

Commissioners,
Thank you for your thoughtFul discussion regarding the design of our proposed project at 1340 Vancouver Ave
during your July 14 hearing. We have taken your suggestions to heart and worked closely with the design
consultant Jerry Winges to refine the design. The clients, Jerry and ourselves are all quite happy with the
revised design that we are now presenting.
Here is an outline of the changes made to the project since the versiort you saw on July 14.
1) All windows now match the feel and sryle of the existing windows at the front fa�ade with square-ish
proportion divided lites in the upper sashes of the double hung windows, with some smaller windows
accenting throughout. The windows will be high quality pre-finished aluminum clad wood, Marvin or
simifar, with Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bars.
2) We have added more windows to the south side facade and reduced windows on the north side
facade. On the norih, we have carefully studied any potential for privacy concerns in relation to the
north neighbor and have designed our windows to minimize these issues.
3) We have added a horizontal belly band (detail shown on A3.0) at the side facades to align with the
rear deck along with a darker paint color below the trim, breaking up the apparent height of the walls.
We studied the possible use of an alternate material (stone, brick) for this lower portion of the walls but
the expense was too high to justify it on these secondary facades.
4) We have lowered the ceiling level of the second floor, thus lowering the eave of the new roof.
5) We have increased the pitch of the new upper roof to 8:12. This is still not as steep as the 12:12 front
roof (which would be too high) but it does feel right against the existing roof. The new high roof is still
a hip roof, but we have introduced gable-roof elements at the sides and rear (bathroom bay window,
rear bay window, stair pop-out) to unify better with the existing gables at the front. The pitch of the
gable-roof elements does match the retained front roof (12:12).
6) We have eliminated the bay windows at the front fa�ade in order to retain more of the original
character of the house. The bay window at the rear at the master bedroom has been changed to a
square pop-out (with a bench seat inside) to allow for the gabled roof above and to eliminate the
angled form not found elsewhere in the project.
7) We are showing the retained planting strip and existing Magnolia tree at the south side of the house to
give a better sense of how the planting in this area helps to mitigate this tall wall.
I believe these design changes address the commission's concerns with the originally submitted design. I
would summarize those concerns as:
- Unify the new addition with the existing architecture more closely, primarily with roof pitch and window
style.
- Reduce the apparent mass of the new addition, primarily by lowering the second floor ceiling and
addressing the large wall on the south side
- Reduce the 'boxy-ness' of the new addition, primarily by making the new roof more apparent and breaking
the eave line of the new hip roof, as well as adding more detail to the design overall
- Balance out the windows between the north and south sides
I look forward to your comments regarding this new design.
Sincerely,
Geoff Gibson

Ref: Design Review 1340 Vancouver Ave. Addition
Dear Planning Commissioners;
I have had one meeting with the applicant, a site visit, several reviews by email of
design revisions, have reviewed the final resubmitta! and have the following
comments.
The applicant has responded very well to the comments from the pianning
commission and my comments. The design is much improved over the original
submittal. The design is more cohesive and consistent.
• The windows have been changed from the prior submittal and the existing
window configuration will stay at the front. Other windows have been re-
proportioned and ali windows have been re-designed with the same design
and grid pattern concept.
• The 3 story portion at the rear right corner is still high due to the siope on site
and existing basement space, however a horizontal trim band and different
color at the basement story wali tends to mitigate the mass and height. {t also
ties around the rear balcony and the north side.
• The second story plate height has been reduced, and the roof pitch
steepened to reduce mass at the walls, but provide a better tie in to the
existing steep front roof to remain.
• At the stair and the pop-outs on the second level, the roof form has been
changed to a steep gable, matching the steep existing roof pitch of the front
roofs. This breaks the "layer cake" look by interrupting the line of the hip roof.
This technique reduces mass and provides more interest, but also better ties the
addition to the existing house to remain.
• The former angled bay windows shown on the original have been eliminated—
these did not go well with the existing house forms.
• The drawings have been improved to show more accurately the intent of the
design.
• We discussed the stair roof at the north side poking through the Declining
Height Envelope. The former shed roof did not go wefl with the new design. f

support the request for a Special Permit to allow the gable roof which is a
better design; due to the location of the home on the site this could not be
avoided.
1 feel that the addition ties in much better now with the existing home, and retains a
more traditionai consistent look. The entry element is interesting, and it is nice to
preserve that. There is no need to repeat that form since it marks the special entry
statement and can stand on it's own.
I thank the Architect and Owner for being flexible and working well with the
suggestions. I thin{c this is a much better design for the neighborhood and provides a
better home for the Owner. I recommend approval of the design as presented.

CONTACT: ERIKA LEWIT
All Commissioners had visited the property. Commissioner Gum spoke with a neighbor at 1341 Vancouver
Avenue. Commissioner Loftis met with the applicant. Reference staff report dated July 14, 2014, with
attachments. Community Development Director Meeker briefly presented the project description. There
were no questions of staff.
Questions of staff:
None.
Chair Bandrapalli opened the public comment period.
Geoff Gibson represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
■ Is there a landscape plan? (Gibson — are not proposing significant changes to the landscaping.)
■ The southeast elevation doesn't have a lot of architectural detailing; is there a landscape solution?
(Gibson — is next to the driveway so can't place much in the area; perhaps a small planter.)
■ Will the brickwork at the top of the front entry be replicated elsewhere? (Gibson — not planning to
carry this element through as it doesn't appear elsewhere on the house.)
■ Would something more symmetrical have been designed if not for the declining height envelope?
(Gibson — was also up against maximum FAR, could have placed the addition more symmetrically
on sifie, but likes the way the design has come out.)
■ Were alternatives to the bay windows considered? The new bay windows appear to be competing
for attention with the front entry element. (Gibson — tried a square bay window but didn't work.
Could consider retaining the existing windows.)
■ The front windows look original and appear to have a six over one grid pattern; will this be
replicated? Perhaps consider adding the divided light elements back into the design. (Gibson —will
simplify the windows with the addition.)
■ The second-story looks massive because of the second-story plate height. A lot of attention should
be paid to keeping the massing down. Look at a lower plate height on the second floor. Typically
see an eight foot plate height. Could help with the massing. (Gibson — feels it is really important to
�
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSIDN — Approved Minutes July 14, 2014
have adequate windows on the upper level. The suggestion could impact the size of the windows in
this area.)
Addition needs to be tied into the existing design in a better manner. Feels that the roof of the
addition appears to take away from the front entry.
Don't really call out the plant materials in the planters; should explain the current condition and any
changes to be made to the landscaping.
Want to make certain that the neighbors are contacted regarding the window placement on the
sides.
Public comments:
None.
Additional Commission discussion:
■ This is a challenging addition.
■ Wonders if the roof form on the addition contributes to the box-like appearance of the addition.
■ Perhaps could benefit from a referral to a design reviewer.
■ Feels the architect understands the comments.
■ Referral to a design reviewer can result in a streamlined process.
■ Better integration between the existing home and the addition is needed.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Sargent moved to refer the project to a design reviewer.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Loftis.
Discussion of motion:
None.
Chair Bandrapalli called for a vote on the motion to refer the application to a design reviewer. The motion
passed on a voice vote 6-0-0-1 (Commissioner Terrones absent). The Planning Commission's action is
advisory and not appealable. This item concluded at 8:21 p. m.
Commissioner Yie left the meeting at 8:21 p.m.
Commissioner DeMartini indicated that he would recuse himself from participating in the discussion
regarding Agenda Item 8(1419 Paloma Avenue) as he has a financial interesf in a property within 500-feet
of the property. He left the City Council Chambers.

CITY OF BURLINGAME
SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance (Code
Section 25.50). 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.
1. Explain why the blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new
construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the
existing street and neighborhood.
The existing house displays strong symmetry at the front fa4ade with a centrally located front entry that stands
pronounced from the main structure. Despite this symmetry, the house is actually placed off of center on the
site, closer to the north neighbor. While planning the new second floor addition with respect to the Declining
Height Envelope, the design strives to respect and continue the symmetric character of the front of the existing
house as much as possible. In order to achieve this along with a well-functioning interior layout, we are asking
for an exception to the DHE at Window Enclosure #1 at the north facade. Please see attached plan.
2. Explain how the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of
the proposed new structure or addition are consistent with the existing structure, street
and neighborhood.
Additional characteristics of the existing house will be carried into the design of the new
addition as well as Window Enclosure #1. This includes matching the existing exterior stucco
finish, double hung windows with divided lites at the upper sash and the use of the existing hip
roof form and slope to reduce visual impact of the new structure.
3. How will the proposed project be consistent with the residential design guidelines
adopted by the city (C.S. 25.57)?
In general, the proposed project respects the architectural character of the existing house
which is inherently compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Much
care and consideration has been given to unify the new addition with the existing building
through the continuity of existing architectural characteristics and landscaping. Overall
adherence to the buildable planning envelope also ensures respect to neighboring buildings.
4. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or
addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements. What
mitigation is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation is
appropriate.
No trees will be removed under the scope of this project. sPEcrExM.F�
City of Burlingame Planning Department 501 Primrose Road P(650) 558-7250 F(650) 696-3790
www.burlin a� me.org
I. Explain why the blend ofmass, scale and dominantstructural characteristics ofthe new
construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the
existing street and neighborhood.
How will the proposed structure or addition affect neighboring properties or structures on those properties? If neighboring properties
will not be affected, state why. Compare the proposed addition to the mass, scale and characteristics of neighboring properties. Think
about mass and bulk, landscaping, sunlight/shade, views from neighboring properties. Neighboring properties and structures include
those to the right, left, rear and across the street.
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change to the structure, say
so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation etc. with other structures in the neighborhood or area.
Z. Explain how the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of
the proposed new structure or addition are consistent with the existing structure, street
and neighborhood.
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with structures or uses in the existing neighborhood? If it does not affect
aesthetics, state why. Was the addition designed to match existing architecture and/or pattern of development on adjacent properties in
the neighborhood? Explain why your proposal fits in the neighborhood.
How will the structure or addition change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image or tone established by
size, density of development and general pattern of land use. If you don't feel the character ofthe neighborhood will change, state why.
3. How will the proposed project be consistent with the residential design guidelines
adopted by the city?
Following are the design criteria adopted by the City Council for residential design review. How does your project meet these
guidelines?
1. Compatibility of the architectural style 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.
4. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure
or addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements.
What mitigation is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation
is appropriate.
Will any trees be removed as a result of this proposal? If so, explain what type of trees will be removed and if any are protected under
city ordinance (C.S. 11.06), why it is necessary to remove the trees, and what is being proposed to replace any trees being removed. If
no trees are to be removed, say so.

Requirements for Architecturai Copper
Protect water quality during installation, cleaning, treating, and washing!
Copper from Buildings May Harm Aquatic Life
Copper can harm aquatic life in San Francisco Bay. Water that comes
into contact with architectural copper may contribute to impacts,
especially during installation, cleaning, treating, or washing. Patination
solutions that are used to obtain the desired shade of green or brown
typically contain acids. After treatment, when the copper is rinsed to
remove these acids, the rinse water is a source of pollutants.
Municipalities prahibit discharges to the storm drain of water used in the
installation, cleaning, treating and washing of architectural copper.
Use Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs)
discharges to storm drains.
Building with copper
gufter and drainpipe.
must be implemented to prevent prohibited
During Installation
o If possible, purchase copper materials that have been pre-patinated at the factory.
• If patination is done on-site, implement one or more of the following BMPs:
o Discharge the rinse water to landscaping. Ensure that the
rinse vva��r does not flow fio fhe sireet or sfiorm drain.
Block off storm drain inlet if needed.

sewer. Lorifaci your local saniiary sewer agency bei`ore
discharging to the sanitary sewer.
o Collect the rinse water in a tank and haul off-site for
proper disposal.
• Consider coating the copper materials with an impervious
coating that prevents furfher. corrosion and runoff. This will
also maintain the desired color for a longer time, requiring
less maintenance.
Storm drain inlet is blocked fo prevent
prohibited discharge. The water musf be
pumped and disposed of properly.
During Maintenance
Implement the following BMPs during routine maintenance activities, such as power washing the roof,
re-patination or re-application of impervious coating:
• Block storm drain inlets as needed to prevent runoff from entering storm drains.
• Discharge the wash water to landscaping or to the sanitary sewer (with permission from the local
sanitary sewer agency). If this is not an option, haul the wash water off-site for proper disposal.
Protect the Bay/Ocean and yourse[f!
If you are responsible for a discharge to the storm drain of non-
stormwater generated by installing, cleaning, treating or washing
copper architectural features, you are in violation of the municipal
stormwater ordinance and may be subject to a fine.
