Gumbinger, FAIA Lot Area: 6100 SF General Plan Designation: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15303 - Class 3- construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including (a) single-family residences not in conjunction with the building of two or more such units. Summary: The applicant is requesting design review for a first and second-story addition at 1419 Vancouver Avenue, zoned R-1(plans date stamped 11 / 16/00). The existing one-story house with lower level garage and storage area contains 1743 SF of floor area (0.29 FAR), and has three bedrooms. The lower level garage is considered a half-story and does not qualify as a basement (more than 50% above grade), so it is included in the FAR calculation. The first floor would be increased by 34 SF and remodeled to eliminate two of the bedrooms and create a new family room and stairway, and a deck is being added at the rear. The lower level will be expanded by 34 SF in order to provide a code compliant parking space in the garage. The second story addition would add three bedrooms, for a total of four bedrooms. There is an existing attached one-car garage will be expanded to 10'-6" x 20'-0" interior dimensions. The addition will increase the floor area of the structure by 1273 SF, for a total floor area of 3016 SF (0.49 FAR) where 3052 SF (0.50 FAR) is the maYimum floor area ratio allowed. Based on the existing floor plan and the location of the garage below the main level, it would be very difficult to provide a conforming two-car garage if one were ever needed.

The original application requested a parking space dimension variance (10'-6" x 17'-0" interior dimensions where 10'-0" x 20'-0" is the minimum size required for a covered parking space). The November 13, 2000 preliminary design review study meeting was noticed to surrounding property owners for the design review application. There were no comments from neighbors at the study meeting. The commission made a motion to place this item on the consent calendar for November 27, 2000 provided that the plans were revised to modify the garage to meet current code requirements for depth and to increase the size and/or openings in the windows on the west elevation to meet emergency egress requirements. The applicant has submitted revised plans date stamped November 16, 2000. These plans have been revised to increase the size of the garage to 10'-6" x 20'-0" interior dimensions, and increasing the floor area above the garage to keep the same look on the front elevation that exists now. The windows on the west elevation were revised to traditional double hung windows in order to meet the emergency egress requirements. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on Apri120, 1998 are outlined as follows: 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 Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. Design Review Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's November 13, 2000, preliminary study meeting and on the changes made in response to Planning Commission's comments, the project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review guidelines. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action should be made by resolution and should include findings. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated. 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 Department date stamped November 16, 2000, site plan, floor plans and building elevations; 2. that any changes to the size or envelope of the second floor, which would include adding or enlarging a dormer(s) or changing the roof height or pitch, shall be subject to design review; 3. that the conditions of the City Engineer's September 18, 2000 memo shall be met; and 4. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes, 1998 edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.

DESIGN REVIEW STUDY ITEMS 1419 VANCOUVER AVENUE - ZONED R-1 November 13, 2000 APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW AND PARKING DIMENSION VARIANCE FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION (PAUL GUMBINGER, GUMBINGER ASSOCIATES/ARCHITECTS, APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; JOHN Senior Planner Brooks presented the project description. There were no questions of staff. Chairman Luzuriaga opened the public comment. John and Paola Flygare, applicants and property owners, represented the project. They noted their willingness to answer questions. Commissioners discussed the proposed addition and parking dimension variance, noting garage is short 3 feet and the rear elevation shows that it is possible to extend the parking area 3 feet to the rear, do not see the exceptional circumstances on the property to support the variance request; extension of the garage would break up the rear facade, which would not hurt; applicant is providing only the minimum parking for this now four bedroom house, and that parking is not compliant with code, others have been asked to do more; concerned that the second floor windows on west side as shown do not meet fire code emergency egress requirements this will affect the exterior elevation, they should be adjusted before this item goes to action; there were no other comments from the floor and the public comment was closed. In order to grant a variance must make findings relating to the physical hardship on the property; if not extend to the rear, going to the front is an alternative, see no exceptional hardship on the property, others with similar sites have been required to provide two car garage or to set aside FAR so that a two car garage could be built later; like this traditional design. C. Bojues made a motion to place this item on the consent calendar at a time when the following revisions have been made and plan checked: modify the garage to meet current code requirements for depth and add windows on the west elevation that meet emergency egress requirements. The motion was seconded by C. Osterling. Chairman Lurtuiaga called for a voice vote on the motion to place this item, as corrected, on the consent calendar at the next meeting providing all the revisions have been made in time for staff plan check and report preparation. The motion passed on a 7-0 voice vote. The Planning Commission's action is advisory and not appealable. This item concluded at 10:20 p.m. 15. 1000 LARKSPUR DRIVE - ZONED R-1- APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW AND PARKING DIMENSION VARIANCE FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION (EDGAR M. GARCIA C. Deal noted that he had a business relationship with the applicant and would abstain from this item. He stepped down from the dais. CP Monroe presented the project description. There were no questions of staff. Chauman Luzuriaga opened the public comment. Edgar Garcia, 1000 Larkspur, represented the project. He noted that he would like to add two bedrooms so each of his three children could have their own room, these were placed over the existing garage because it was the lowest part of the roof (the present roof has three ridge lines of different heights). The rooms are small and the addition small, the additional square footage on the first floor is to accommodate the new stairwell; the variance for uncovered parking is a condition that has existed since the house was built. Commission asked if the project would include traditional stucco mold around the windows. The applicant responded yes. There were no other comments from the floor and the public comment period was closed. �-�— �r� cir � "�R�; CITY OF BURLIN � AME ���� APPLIC�TION TO TH� PLANNING CONIlVIISSION �e� .o_.� Type of Application: Special Permit Variance ✓Other �lQ��[�/���,J�,�� � Project Address: I`i l� ��1� GO U�/� �- U�N U� Assessor's Parcel Number(s): �2� � � �-t�''0 � � APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER Name: .ToH-�l A�t�l� "PAOI� FL��f� Name: Address: I�-i I� �I f� hl 1V �P .�-lIF > Address: �`� � City/State/Zip: .-3t v12�_i►,lC�l9MF.
