Applicant and Designer: Michael Gaul Property Owner: Martina Sersch General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 027-164-030 Lot Area: 6,000 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. Project Description: The existing split-level house with an attached garage contains 2,459 SF (0.41 FAR) of floor area and has four potential bedrooms. The applicant is proposing to build a new 277 SF attached garage, with a 152 SF, second story deck above it. With the proposed addition, the floor area will increase to 2,736 SF (0.46 FAR) where the zoning code allows a maximum of 3,020 SF (0.52 FAR). The proposed project is 284 SF below the maximum allowed FAR and is within 9% of the maximum allowed FAR. With the addition, the number of potential bedrooms will not be increasing (4 existing). Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on site. The project includes an attached one -car garage which provides one covered parking space (10' x 20' clear interior dimensions) and therefore complies with off-street parking requirements. There is one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications: ■ Design Review for a second story deck addition (CS 25.57.010).; and ■ Special Permit for an attached garage (CS 25.28.035 (a)). 1417 Vancouver Avenue Lot Area: 6,000 SF Plans date stamped: September 25, 2012 EXISTING PROPOSED ALLOWED/REQUIRED SETBACKS I ..........................................................................................................................................................................._...................................................................................._.........._.........................._............................................................__...._.......l.

Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on October 22, 2012, the Commission had comments concerning the plate height of the carport, the lack of detail on the drawings and the interior finish of the carport and voted to place the item on the Consent Calendar at the next available Planning Commission meeting (see attached October 22, 2012 Planning Commission Minutes). The designer submitted revised plans and a response letter on November 5, 2012, to address the Commission's concerns. The plate height of the carport was dropped from 9'-0" to 8'-3" as suggested by the Planning Commission (see revised Proposed Front Elevation, sheet 5). Design Review Findings: Based on the findings stated by the Planning Commission in the attached minutes of their October 22, 2012 Design Review Study meeting, that the proposed addition is appropriate for the existing house, that the neighbors have expressed no concerns, and that the architectural style, mass and bulk of the house will be consistent with the existing character of the neighborhood, the project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review guidelines. Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit for an attached garage, 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. Special Permit Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's October 22, 2012, Design Review Study meeting, that the request for a Special Permit for an attached garage is consistent with the garage and parking pattern in the neighborhood and that the proposed one -car garage complies with the off-street parking requirement for the project, the Planning Commission is supportive of the Special Permit request and the project is found to be compatible with the special permit criteria listed above. 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.

Community Development Director Meeker briefly presented the project description. Questions of staff: None. Vice -Chair Auran opened the public comment period. Abbie Whitman, (no city of residence provided); represented the applicant. Commission comments: ■ Fairly restrained project. ■ Likes that the existing house is being preserved. ■ Can support the argument for the special permit for the new attached garage. ■ With respect to the carport; there is a nine -foot plate called for, this provides a high brow; however, if the plate height was brought down to 8'/2 feet or slightly less, then the roof line could be brought down and scale down the carport. ■ Lowering the plate -height may provide more light into the dining room. ■ Concerned about the detail on the drawings; trim is not shown around the front windows; match window trims to existing trim at the new French door. ■ Make sure that the rolled -tile roof elements on the home are matched at the new addition over garage face. ■ Concerned that the carport design is not one found in the neighborhood; what is the interior finishing? (Whitman — likely sheetrock due to code.) Is concerned how it will appear from the street. ■ Interior finishing may possibly be stucco given that it is an outdoor space — will require a one -hour rating so it will necessarily be sheet -rock or stucco; open studs would not be acceptable. ■ Were other roof forms considered — the peak appears high? (Whitman — matching the existing roof form at the front gable.) ■ Trying to add a bit more detail to the roofline rather than a flat roof. Public comments: None. There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Terrones made a motion to place the item on the Consent Calendar when complete. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Yie. C] CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Unapproved Minutes October 22, 2012 Discussion of motion: ■ None. Vice -Chair Auran called for a vote on the motion to place this item on the Consent Calendar when plans have been revised as directed. The motion passed on a voice vote 4-0-1-1 (CommissionerCauchi absent, Commissioner Gual recused). The Planning Commission's action is advisory and not appealable. This item concluded at 7:51 p.m. Commissioner Gaul returned to the dais. 10 a COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT • 501 PRIMROSE ROAD • BURLINGAME, CA 94010 p: 650.558.7250 • f: 650.696.3790 • www.burlingame.org APPLICATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Type of application: ❑ Design Review ❑ Variance ❑ Parcel #: (b 2--7 r 164-r ❑ Conditional Use Permit * Special Permit ❑ Other: PROJECT ADDRESS: A l 1 0 Please indicate the contact person for this project APPLICANT project contact person' PROPERTY OWNER project contact person ❑ OK to send electronic copies of documents ❑ OK to send electronic copies of documents ❑ Name: Address: I i< 1 ( -7 City/State/Zip: P-2 Phone: Fax: brf� 5A mil- 0 ( 9)% E-mail: V t C mac.` W OCW (�11 ARCHITECT/DESIGNER project contact person ❑ OK to send electronic copies of documents ❑ Name: GAt411% 4S Address: City/State/Zip: Phone: Fax: E-mail: * Burlingame Business License #: Name: MWL-I A Address: AL i �4A ki-Cot sV 62-- City/State/Zip: CA Phone: q 01 Fax: E-mail: IF 'v JUL 2 6 2012 CITY OF BURLINGAME CDD-PLANNING DIV.

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. 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. 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. 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 of the 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. City of Burlingame Special Permit Application Responses 1417 Vancouver 1. The new design imitates the Spanish/Mission style of architecture of the original house design. The roof tiles present only at the front of the boxy house will be used on the carport as well. The roof slope will be the same as the slope of the main house and the roof eave and vent details will be the same as the existing house. The design of the carport as opposed to the idea of an enclosed garage is an attempt to make the structure less bulky. Although the structure is partially attached to the main house, it is essentially detached due to the window location of the split level home. Most of the houses on this block have attached garages. 2. The roof slope will be the same as the sloped portion of the existing structure. All exterior materials (stucco, roof tiles, rafter tails, terra cotta attic vents) will be the same or similar to the existing materials. The attached garage at the front of the structure is consistent with other houses in the neighborhood and on this block. The elevations —though only a carport -emulate the Spanish style of this house and others in this neighborhood. 3. The project is consistent with the residential guidelines by keeping this a one story addition, thereby reducing the mass and bulk of the structure. The materials will by in sync with the existing structure in an attempt to make the addition feel more like part of the original structure. The property owner does not want a bulky structure and would likely opt to have no covered parking if possible. The site/structure is limited in options for an add on due to the split level design and the existing attached garage. 4.

Be advised where more than one (1) addition and/or alteration for which building permits are required are made within a two (2) year period and said alterations are made to the premises of the same occupant. In such circumstances, the sum of these additions and/or alterations construction costs during this two (2) year period shall be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the replacement cost value formula. Final determination will be made and the plan review phase of the project. It is very important that you understand the threshold indicated by BMC §17.04.030. Designer, contractor, and owner should communicate specifically the extent of demolition and remodel. Keeping in mind any change orders and addendums which increase the total amount of square footage added or remodeled after plan review would be applied to the sprinkler ordinance.
