Request: Conditional use permit for an existing food establishment in the Broadway commercial area
at 1236 Broadway, zoned C-1, Broadway Commercial Area (C.S. 25.36.040, fl.
Name of Food Establishment: Burrito Broadway/Broadway Food Center APN: 026-094-160
Property Owner: Theodore Koros
Lot Dimensions and Area: 13,772 SF Zoning: C-1
General Plan: Commercial, Shopping and Service
Adjacent Development: Retail/Service Commercial
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 - Existing Facilities, Class 1,
operation of existing private structures involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that
previously existing.
Ordinance: In October 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1619 which makes all food
establishments in the Broadway commercial area and Burlingame Avenue commercial area, Subarea A,
conditional uses. The City Council also adopted Resolution 111-1999, which includes a Food
Establishment by Type Table establishing the location, type and seating area for each food establishment
in each commercial area. The ordinance requires that these establishments obtain conditional use
permits to reflect the requirements of the new ordinance.
In order to facilitate, for merchants and property owners, the transition to the new requirements and to
provide them with an opportunity to clarify their establishment's operation, the City has initiated the
conditional use permit application at no cost to the owner or merchant.
Summary: This application is for a conditional use permit for an existing food establishment as
required by Ordinance 1619. The Food Establishment Table by Type defined the food establishment
located at 1236 Broadway as follows:

The current food establishment located at 1236 Broadway, Burrito Broadway/Broadway Food Center,
is classified as Limited Food Service with no on-site seating. Burrito Broadway is located inside the
Broadway Food Center and had never applied for a take-out food service permit. In the July 1998
survey for Bunito Broadway/Broadway Food Center reviewed by the merchant, it was noted that at this
premise food is ordered and paid for before consumption and that food is served in paper/plastic
containers. At the time information was gathered for the survey, staff noted that there was no on-site
seating. The hours of operation for the business were from 10:00 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through

Saturday and closed on Sunday, with a maximum of three employees on site at any one time. During
the public hearings on the ordinance and implementing tables, the merchant noted that for a period of
time approximately 50 SF was dedicated for on-site customer seating. At the time of the hearing, staff
visited the site and found no on-site seating.

Staff Comments: The City Engineer, Chief Building Official and Fire Marshal reviewed the ordinance
and classifications and had no comments. Changes to tenant improvements will require additional city
review.
Criteria for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Permit the Planning
Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020 a-c):
(a) the proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or
improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general
welfare, or convenience;
(b) the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general
plan and the purposes of this title;
(c) the Planning Commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems
necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner
compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining
properties in the general vicinity.
Findings for This Conditional Use Permit: Since the current regulations limit the number of food
establishments to those in the Broadway commercial area as of November 1999 as approved by City
Council Resolution No. 111-1999 on October 18, 1999, and this business meets those criteria; the
business will operate within the limits established by that ordinance; the use will not be detrimental to
the city's objective of promoting pedestrian oriented retail activity in this commercial area and therefor
will be in compliance with the general plan for the area; and since the business shall be required to
comply with all the city regulations including providing trash receptacles and litter maintenance in the
��
Conditional Use Permit I236 Broadway
surrounding area, signage, meeting building code requirements, and adhering to County health
requirements, the operation will be compatible with the public's health and safety as well as with the
character of the commercial area.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative
action should be taken by resolution. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated for the record.
At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered:
1. that this limited food service establishment is a part of an existing grocery store business, with no
on-site seating; it may change its food establishment classification only to a full service restaurant
or bar with approval of a conditional use permit for the establishment;
2. that up to 250 SF of on-site seating may be added to the limited food service establishment only by
an amendment to this conditional use permit;
3. that an amendment to this conditional use permit shall be required for delivery of prepared food
from this premise;
4. that there shall be no food sales allowed at this location from a window or from any opening within
10' of the property line;
5. that if this site is changed from any food establishment use to any retail or other use, a food
establishment shall not be replaced on this site and this conditional use permit shall become void;
6. that the applicant shall provide daily litter control along all frontages of the business and within fifty
(50) feet of all frontages (front and rear) of the business;
