Trees
An arborist report was prepared by Mayne Tree Expert Company, Inc., dated April 11, 2005, which
provides information for all existing trees on Lots 39 and 40, as well as trees located in the City's
public right-of-way.
Lot 39 - There are a total of 12 trees on Lot 39 (ranging in size from 2 to 46 inches in diameter). The
applicant is proposing to remove nine, unprotected size trees (2 to 8 inches in diameter). Initially, the
applicant was also proposing to remove the protected size 46-inch Deodar cedar tree at the rear of the
lot. The City Arborist reviewed the arborist report and visited the site to inspect this tree. In his memo
dated June 15, 2005, he notes that based on his site visit and condition of the tree, he has denied the
permit to remove the existing 46-inch protected size Deodar cedar tree. He also notes that this tree will
require tree protection measures during construction and that an arborist report outlining the protection
measures will be required. The applicant is proposing to plant five, 24-inch box size trees throughout
the site.
Lot 40 - There are a total of eight trees on Lot 40 (ranging in size from 2.9 to 14 inches in diameter).
The applicant is proposing to remove three, unprotected size trees (3.9 to 14 inches in diameter). The
City Arborist reviewed the arborist report and the proposed landscape plan and had no comment. The
applicant is proposing to install six, 24-inch box size trees throughout the site.
The arborist report notes that protective fencing shall be installed around the existing trees to remain
and that fencing shall be removed without authorization from the project arborist and City's arborist.
Utility trenching shall not be done within fenced areas without approval of the projects' arborist.
Street Trees - There are a total of eight street trees in the City's right-of-way along Vancouver Avenue
and Adeline Drive. Along Vancouver Avenue, there are four Sycamore trees (14.1 to 22.0 inches in
diameter). Along Adeline Drive, there are two Sycamore trees (15.8 and 16.3 inches in diameter), one
Stone pine tree (31.2 inches in diameter) and one Pear tree (11.7 inches in diameter). All of the
existing street trees will remain, with the exception of the Stone pine tree. The City Arborist reviewed
the arborist report and visited the site to inspect this tree. In his memo dated June 15, 2005, he notes
that he will approve removal of the Stone pine tree and that prior to removal, the applicant must first
obtain a street tree removal permit from the Parks Department. He also notes that a replacement tree
will not be required since there is no space available.
To protect the street trees during construction, the arborist report requires fencing along the project side
of the sidewalk and that the protective fencing shall not be moved without authorization from the
project arborist and City's arborist. Utility trenching shall not be done within fenced areas without
approval of the projects' arborist.

The development data tables for each proposed dwelling and detached garage at 1480 Vancouver
Avenue, Lots 39 and 40, follow. Information was provided for the existing house to use as a
comparison. Because the existing house and detached garage are located on a double lot and each of
the proposed houses would be located on a single standard lot, thc FAR and lot coverage for the
existing house is based on the total area of the two lots combined (11,988 SF).

1. Right side on lot 39 lias small windows, on other elevations the windows are spread out, match
window pattern of otlier elevations.
• The applicant revised the size of one window along the right side of the house. The window on
the second floor in bedroom #3 was enlarged to match the other window in the bedroom (3' x
4'-6") which faces the street (see revised Floor Plan and Right Elevation date stamped June 15,
2005, sheets A.3 and A.4). The remaining windows along this elevation on the second floor are
located in two bathrooms and a closet, and therefore were not changed.
I480 Vancouver Avenue — Lot 40
1. Change tree #4 Pacific n:yrtle at the front of Lot 40, west elevation to lower shrubs so that it
doesn't eizcroaclz into the existing oak tree.
• The landscape plan was revised to show a change from the Pacific myrtle near the oak tree to
5-gallon Manzanita shrubs.
2. Tree near driveway oiz corner lot (Lot 40) /:as no species name, just says Evergreen, please label.
• The landscape plan indicates that the tree to the right side of the driveway on Lot 40 will be a
24-inch box size Strawberry tree. The street tree to the left of the driveway is an existing 15.8-
inch diameter Sycamore tree.
Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a conditional use permit for two (2) re-
emerging standard lots, 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;

CUP for re-err:erging lots, Design Review for• Two, New Two-story Dwellings 1480 VancoT�ver Avenue, Lots 39 and 40
anrl Special Perrnit fo�• DHE on Lot 39
In considering the conditional use permit for either standard or substandard lots the commission shall
evaluate in addition to the criteria for a conditional use permit:
(1) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction with
the existing street and neighborhood;
(2) The variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new
structures;
(3) The commission shall also consider the necessity or mitigation for the removal of any protected
trees, as defined in section 11.06.020 of this code, which are located within the footprint of any
proposed structure.
Conditional Use Permit Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the
Planning Commission's June 13, 2005, design review study meeting, that the blend of mass, scale and
dominant structural characteristics of the two new single family dwellings will be compatible with
existing street and neighborhood because the craftsman and colonial design of the new dwellings will
be consistent with the designs which exist in the neighborhood; that the craftsman and colonial designs
of the new single family dwellings incorporate a variety of roof lines, facades, exterior finish materials
and elevations compatible with pattern and density of the existing dwellings in the neighborhood; and
that the re-emerging lots will each measure 5,994 SF with 50' of street frontage where the minimum lot
size for the area is 5000 SF and 50' of street frontage; for these reasons the project is found to be
compatible with the conditional use permit criteria listed above.
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted
by the Council on April 20, 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
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.

CUP for re-emerging lots, Design Review for Two, New Two-story Dwellings 1480 Vancouver Avenue, Lots 39 anc� 40
and Special Permit for DHE on Lot 39
Design Review Findings for 1480 Vancouver Avenue, Lots 39 and 40: Based on the findings stated
in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's June 13, 2005, design review study meeting, that
the two new single family dwellings proposed are articulated well, that the design of the existing
dwelling to be demolished has been incorporated into one of the new dwellings, that the exterior
materials proposed will be consistent with exterior materials on existing dwellings in the
neighborhood, that the impact in terms of mass and bulk of replacing one house with two is reduced by
the fact that less FAR is allowed on the corner lot than on the interior lot, and that this project will
improve the character of the block and enhance the design of the community, the project is found to be
compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review guidelines.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a special permit for declining height envelope at 1480
Vancouver Avenue, Lot 39, the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on
the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a-d):
(a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or
addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and
ncighborhood;
(b) the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new
structure or addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood;
(c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and
(d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary
and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation for the removal
that is proposed is appropriate.
Special Permit Findings for Declining Height Envelope (1480 Vancouver Avenue, Lot 39): Based
on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission June 13, 2005, design
review study meeting, that the proposed encroachment into the declining height envelope (145 SF, 5' x
29') is integral to the architectural design and character of the colonial building and the design
guidelines and zoning encourage continuing the variety among architectural styles in a neighborhood
by providing for special permits rather than variances to the development standards for exceptions
integral to certain styles; for these reasons the project is found to be compatible with the special permit
criteria listed above.

City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes
June 13, 2005
C. Auran recused himself because of a business relationship with the property owners, and C. Keighran
recused herselfbecause she lives within 500 feet of the subject property. Both Commissioners left Council
Chambers.
CP Monroe briefly presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Acting Chair Brownrigg opened the public comment. James Chu, project designer, 39 W. 43Rd Avenue, San
Mateo, and Bob and Cyndi Gilson, property owners, were present to answer questions. Mr. Chu submitted a
color rendering of the proposed houses and he noted that they shared the plans and rendering with the
neighbors. The property owners talked with twenty or more neighbors about the project on Memorial Day
weekend, there will be a colonial on the interior lot and one bungalow with shingles on the corner lot. Feel
that these houses will fit in with the neighborhood. Commissioner noted that on the corner lot, front west
elevation shows Pacific Myrtle #4 to be planted but they will grow too large and will encroach into the
existing oak tree, should use lower shrubs, will be better. Tree near driveway has no species name, just says
Evergreen, please label. On other re-emerging lot projects have had the first house at 100% floor area and
the second house at 90% of the allowable floor area, this reduces impact on the neighborhood. Have
applicants considered this approach? Mr. Chu noted that because lot 40 is on the corner the floor area ratio
formula is already lowered, so corner house is smallcr, it is 300 SF under the maximum floor area usually
allowed. He noted that there is a lot of vegetation and landscaping that will be added to screen the house.
Commissioner stated that they do not like to see a landmark house being torn down and replaced with two
new homes. Nice designs but you have an existing 2,900 SF house being replaced with a total of 6,500 SF
of buildings, concerned with impact with more than one house, if square footage is reduced the impact will
also be reduced. Mr. and Mrs. Gilson noted that the corner house is quite a bit smaller to start with. When
purchased the property researched keeping the existing house and removing part, but a structural engineer
looked at the house and said that it has no foundation and can not be moved. Want to keep the 30's style.
Reviewed proposed with over twenty neighbors and they liked the proj cct. The house now has a huge lawn
area in the front, tried to keep this lawn area. As you come down Adeline you will still see a colonial. The
corner lot was designed to have a wider setback along Adeline Drive, corner house is also smaller and has a
lower height. The other corner neighbor really liked the wood shingle siding on the house on the corner
house. Commission noted that the applicant appears to have done due diligence. Mr. Gilson noted that he
got good input from the neighbors, Steve Anderson suggested that dental molding be added to the colonial,
so they did add them. There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion: two houses proposed where one house was located, old house is a landmark house
but the two new houses will also be landmark houses in 40 years, new houses are well designed, corner
house has a lot of articulation, will be an asset to the neighborhood.
The Commission had the following comments and concerns and asked for changes to the plans:
• change tree #4 Pacific Myrtle on the front, west elevation to lower shrubs so that it doesn't encroach
into the existing oak tree;
• tree near driveway on corner lot has no species name, just says Evergreen, please label;
• right side on lot 39 has small windows, on other elevations the windows are spread out, match
window pattern of other elevations.
C. Cauchi made a motion to place this item on the consent calendar at a time when the requested revisions
have been made and plan checked. This motion was seconded by C. Deal.

Ciry of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes

Comment on motion: this is a landmark house but new houses will also become landmark houses, change is
healthy, nice designs will add quality to Burlingame; should Commission consider requiring story poles to
show mass and bulk for the neighbors to see, new buildings will be closer to the street, impact of two houses
may be a surprised and story poles may help, there is no neighborhood opposition, concerned that
neighborhood is not aware; don't think story poles are needed because the density of the landscaping won't
be reflected; the General Plan values having different houses on different size lots and it is unfortunate that
these larger lots are going away, so will abstain form this vote.
Action Chair Brownrigg called for a vote on the motion to place this item on the consent calendar when
plans had been revised as directed. The motion passed on a voice vote 4-0-1-2 (Cers. Auran and Keighran
recused, C. Brownrigg abstaining). The Planning Commission's action is advisory and not appealable. This

Section 25.52.020). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in
making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request. Please type or write neatly
in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
1. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious to
property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or
convenienc�
The proposed residential development is on R-1 single-family zone, which is the same zoning per City
Zoning Code. The fact that the proposed project requires conditional use permit is that an existing single-
family dwelling is being demolish, and two legal lots re-emerged.
2. How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance?
The�two new single-family dwellings are located on two separate legal lots that comply with all City
Zoning requirements/ordinance. �
3. How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of
the ezisting and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity?
The proposed projects consist of two different styles side by side, with shingle/bungalow style on the
comer, and a Colonial style on the interior lot. These styles aze commonly found on the "west" side of
Burlingame with their own azchitectural elements complimenting its style, which should fit in and/or aze
compatible-with existing homes in the general vicinity. .-

1. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious
to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or
convenience.
How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those properties? If neighboring
properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting, paving, landscaping sunlighdshade, views &om neighboring
properties, ease of maintenance.
Why will the structure or use within the structure not af�'ect the public's health, safety or general welfare?
Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater systems, water supply safety,
and thing which have the potential to af�'ect public health (i.e., underground storage tanks, storage of chemicals, situations which encourage
the spread of rodents, insects or communicable diseases).
Public safetv. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection? Will alarm systems or sprinklers be
installed? Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need for police services (i.e., noise, unruly gatherings,
loitering, tra�c) or fire services (i.e., storage or use of flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous activities like welding,
woodwork, engine removal).
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's policy and goals for conservation
and development? Is there a social benefit?
Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or parking for this site or adjacent
sites)? Is the proposal accessible to particulaz segments of the public such as the elderly or handicapped?
2. How will theproposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame
General Plan and Zoning Ordinanc�?
Ask the Planning Department for the general plan designation and zoning district for the proposed project site. Also, ask for an explanation
of each. Once you have this information, you can compare your proposal with the stated designated use and zoning, then explain why this
proposal would fit accordingly.
3. How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character
. of the existing and pot�tial uses on adjoining propa�ties in the general vicinity?
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhood? If it does not affect aesthetics, state why. If
changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match existing architecture, pattem of development on adjacent
properties in the neighborhood? If a use will affect the way a neighborhood or area looks, such as a long term airport parking lot, compare
your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it fits.
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change to the structure, say so.
If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation, etc. with other structures in the neighborhood or area.
How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image or tone
established by size, density of development and general pattem of land use. Will there be more traffic or less parking available resulting
from this use? If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare your project with existing
uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity, and/or state why your project would be consistent with
potential uses in the vicinity.

Re: Revision to Project
An application for conditional use permit for re-emerging lots, design review and special permit for
declining height envelope for a new single family dwelling and new detached garage was approved by
the Planning Commission on June 27, 2005, and became effective on July 7, 2005. A building permit
was issued and construction is underway.
On February 22, 2006, Bob Gilson (property owner) noted that there was a discrepancy between the
how the second floor gable on the front of the house was built and how it was drawn on the building
elevations (see approved plans date stamped April 29, 2005, and photograph dated February 22,
2006. Mr. Gilson noted that the gable was built according to the framing/structural plan approved for
the building permit, and that there is a discrepancy between these plans and the building elevations.
As a result, the second floor gable end is slightly narrower, however it matches the pitch of the lower
floor entry gable and the pitch as shown on the plans.
Planning staff reviewed the proposed change and determined that it could be approved administratively
because: there is no change to the height of the structure, there was no change to the pitch of the
second floor gable, that the windows were installed as shown on the plans and that the gable was built
according to the framing/structural plan as approved by the building permit.
