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 as required by Ordinance 1619. The Food
Establishment Table by Type defined the food establishment located at 1320 Broadway as follows:
• Business Name: Bua Thong Kitchen
• Business Address: 1320 Broadway
• Category: Full Service Food Establishment
• Seating Area: 750 SF
The current food establishment located at 1320 Broadway, Bua Thong Kitchen, is classified as Full
Service with 750 SF of on-site seating. In the July 1998 survey for Bua Thong Kitchen reviewed by
the merchant, it was noted that at this premise food is ordered and paid for after consumption and that
food is served by waiters on ceramic plates with metal flatware. The hours of operation for the business
were from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, closed on Monday, with a maximum of
five employees on site at any one time. During the public hearings on the ordinance and implementing
tables, the information on the survey gathered by Planning staff was not disputed by the merchant or
property owner.

Staff Comments: The City Engineer, Chief Building Official and Fire Marshal reviewed the ordinance
and classifications and had no comments. Changes to existing 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 imd 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 therefore
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
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.
