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. History: An application for Design Review and Special Permit for an attached garage and a new second story deck above the garage at 1417 Vancouver Avenue was approved by the Planning Commission on November 13, 2012 (see attached November 13, 2012 Planning Commission Minutes). The applicant has not yet submitted an application for a building permit. Proposed Revisions: The applicant is now requesting an Amendment to Design Review and Special Permit for proposed changes to a previously approved new attached garage and new second story deck above the garage. The applicant is proposing to reduce the scale of the project by eliminating the storage area at the rear of the carport; by lowering the plate height of the carport by l'-3"; and by relocating the access to the second story deck from bedroom #3 to the living room. Please refer to the attached letter and revised plans submitted by the applicant, dated February 19, 2013, for an explanation of the proposed changes. Summary (based on plans submitted February 19, 2013): 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 235.5 SF attached garage, with a 93.5 SF, second story deck above it. With the proposed addition, the floor area will increase to 2,695 SF (0.45 FAR) where the zoning code allows a maximum of 3,020 SF (0.52 FAR). The proposed project is 325 SF below 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 was approved for the following applications on November 13, 2012: ■ Design Review for a second story deck addition (CS 25.57.010); and • Special Permit for an attached garage (CS 25.28.035, a). * This space was intentionally left blank * Design Review Amendment 1417 Vancouver Avenue 1417 Vancouver Avenue Lot Area: n,uuu %1W vians uate stam ea: t-emuary i y, zu-i s EXISTING ORIGINAL REVISED ALLOWED/REQ'D APPROVAL PROPOSAL SETBACKS ..........................................................................................................

After completing an interior remodel of the Family Room and Bathrooms, the property owner has decided to modify the proposed carport addition. We are, therefore requesting an amendment to the approved design. We are requesting approval of the following changes. Eliminate the storage area at the rear of the garage, thereby shortening the overall length of the garage and reducing the mass while pulling the structure further back from the street and current front facade of the house. Reducing the plate height to T-0" The reduction is aimed at allowing as much light as possible into the current Dining Room. Changing the access door to the Living Room. This will allow better access to the roof deck coming from a common area of the house as opposed to an access from a bedroom. Obviously this will require the addition of an exterior stair as noted on the plans. Reducing the area enclosed by the metal railing. The removal of the railing in front of the Dining Room window is an attempt to keep the view from the window unobstructed. Due to interior changes in the Bathroom layout, the window over the tub has moved and a window in the bedroom on the north wall has been added to provide additional light. We feel that these changes will be a better design for the carport and be a more cohesive project. I believe this should be the final design with no further modifications unless the wind changes direction. Thank you for your consideration Michael Gaul RECEIVE® FEB 19 2013 CITY OF BURLINGAME CDD-PLANNING DIV. 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. There are no trees proposed to be removed CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes November 13, 2012 Vlll.

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. N CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes October 22, 2012 Discussion of motion: None.

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.
