Dear Mr. Lai,
�� Since there was no appeal to or suspension by the City Council, the January 13,
1997 Planning Commission approval of your amendment to the master sign program
and sign exception application became effective January 22, 1997. This application
was to allow a sign exception for the number of signs at 1�s4 Broadway, zoned C-1,
Broadway Commercial Area.
The January 13, 1997 minutes of the Planning Commission state your application
was approved with the following conditions:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the
Planning Department and date stamped December 9, 1996;
2. that all other existing signs on the site not part of this application shall
be removed within 30 days, (February 22, 1997) from the final date
of this action; and
3. that this project shall meet all the requirements of the California
Building and Fire codes, 1995 Edition as amended by the City of

APPLICATION FOR A SIGN EXCEPTION AT 1234 BROADWAY, ZONED G1, (TSTN
PARTNERSHIP, PROPERTY OWNER AND BROADWAY CLEANERS, APPLICANTS).
DENIED WITHOUT PRE.TUDICE OCTOBER 28. 1996.
Reference staff report, January 13, 1997, with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request,
reviewed criteria for action, staff and Planning Department comments. Three conditions were
suggested for consideration.
Chairman Ellis opened the public hearing. The applicant was not present. There were no
questions or comments from the public and the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Deal noted this reduces the number of signs and removes one non-conforming
roof sign, cleans up the facade and does not constitute special privilege by allowing more
signage than other businesses in the area have, he then moved to approve this application with
the following amended conditions: 1) that the project shall be built as shown on the plans
submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped December 9, 1996; 2) that all other
existing signs on the site not part of this application shall be removed within 30 days, (February
22, 1997) from the final date of this action; and 3) that the project shall meet all the
requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame,
1995 edition.
- The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wellford and passed on a 7-0 voice vote. Appeal
procedures were advised.

O SECOND-STORY APARTMENTS TO REAL TE OFFICE USE AT 251 PARK
ROAD, D G1, SUBAREA A, (BRUCE HERMA ;�APPLICANT AND CLAY
Reference staff re rt, January 13, 1997, with attachments. CP Mo roe discussed the request,
reviewed criteria f action, and staff and Planning Department co ments. Four conditions
were suggested for e sideration; the first condition was modified o note that the plans may
need to be revised to mee �t,�ie requirements of the Chief Building I spector and Fire Marshall.
The commissioners commented on e plans and staff report noting th' a condition of this action
is compliance with building code req ' ements, plans have many shortc ings and do not show
how the second stair to the second fl would be provided; need a wor e plan in order to
act; CA noted that item could be continu until adequate plans had been submi�l; plans which
meet CBC requirements could reduce amou t of office area on first floor which cou�i. be a factor
in parking variance, so need better informa 'on; should discuss with CBI the need`%r ADA
accessible bathrooms on the second floor, cou they be put on the first floor; building �s large
and plans do not show all the tenant spaces on e first floor, plans should include this; how
does one get to the second floor if you are handica ; what was the parking requirement for
the apartments when they were originally built, shoul �this be the basis for determining the size
of the parking variance; feel that there is enough on the p�ans to make a decision, the foot print
