Applicant: Kent Putnam APN: 029-242-020,-030,-040,-050 & portion of -230 Designer: Alan Cross, Proto Inc. Lot Area: 24,925 SF (0.57 acres) combined Property Owner: Kent Putnam General Plan: Commercial Uses: Service & Special Sales Zoning: CAR and R-4 Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan: California Drive Mixed Use District & R-4 Incentive District Adjacent Development: Automobile sales and service and multifamily residential. Project Summary: The project site is located at the southwest corner of California Drive and Bayswater Avenue. The project site consists of six separate parcels; four parcels and portions of a fifth and sixth parcel would be combined into one parcel for the proposed project (see Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and attached diagram). Staff would note that the remaining fifth and sixth parcels at the corner of Bayswater Avenue and Highland Avenue would be combined into one parcel as a part of this process, and would continue to be used for storing new vehicle inventory. The proposed lot combination requires applications for a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of a portion of the site from R-4 Incentive District to California Drive Mixed Use District and Rezoning a portion of a parcel from R-4 (high density multifamily residential) to CAR (California Drive Auto Row). The site is surrounded by automobile sales and service facilities; there is an existing two-story multifamily residential building to the south. The project site currently contains a one-story Subaru showroom building, a one-story Subaru automobile service facility, a Hertz automobile rental office located in the service facility building and automobile storage for Subaru and Hertz on a paved parking area. The proposal includes demolishing a small office at the rear of the existing showroom building (115 SF), the existing service facility and Hertz rental office (2,620 SF) and building a new automobile service facility for Subaru. The proposed 15,866 SF building consists of 10,352 SF of enclosed building area and 5,514 SF of covered drive aisle area. The existing showroom building would remain. The new service facility would consist of 16 service bays, parts and tool rooms, a service writer office and customer lounge. The front of the lot would contain an outdoor vehicle display area and customer/employee parking. The following applications are being requested for the proposed project: ■ Mitigated Negative Declaration, a determination that with mitigation measures there will be no significant environmental effects as a result of this project; ■ General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of a portion of the site from R-4 Incentive District to California Drive Mixed Use District; ■ Rezoning of a portion of a site from R-4 (high density multifamily residential) to CAR (California Drive Auto Row); ■ Design Review for a new automobile service facility at an existing automobile dealership; and ■ Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to combine four existing parcels and portions of a fifth and sixth parcel into one parcel. Mitigated Negative Declaration, General P/an Amendment, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Summary of Changes: Since the February 22, 2016 environmental scoping and design review study meeting, the following changes have been made to the project: 1. Adjusted Property Line to Increase LotArea of Remaining R-4 Lot: The remaining R-4 lot (currently comprised of two 50' x 100' lots) at the corner of Bayswater and Highland Avenues currently measures 10,000 SF in area (100' x 100'). With the initially proposed project, the remaining R-4 lot was being reduced to 7,200 SF in area (72' along Bayswater Avenue x 100' along Highland Avenue). The project has been revised to increase the remaining R-4 lot from 7,200 SF to 9,000 SF in area (90' along Bayswater Avenue x 100' along Highland Avenue). This was achieved by shifting the property line 19'-0" closer to the rear of the proposed building (previously located 20'-0" away from the rear of the building). However, given that the proposed building is now located 1'-0" away from the property line, the previously proposed windows along the rear of the building were eliminated to comply with Building and Fire Codes. Please refer to revised sheets A.101, A.201, and A.301. 2. Extended the Covering above the Service Drive Aisle: Previously, only the portion of the service drive aisle closest to Bayswater Avenue contained a covering. The project has been revised to extend the covering above the entire service drive aisle leading to the service area (additional 5,514 SF of covering) (see revised Roof Plan, sheet A.202). 3. Added a Parts Storage Meuanine: In order to provide the service facility an additional area for parts storage without increasing the footprint of the building, the project was revised to include a 1,627 SF parts storage mezzanine (see revised sheet A.201). As a result, the overall height of the building increased by 1'-0" (from 24'-1'/z" to 25'-1'/z") (see revised building elevations, sheet A.301). Based on the parking ratios for the showroom, service, and storage uses proposed on the site, the off-street parking requirement increased from 14 to 15 parking spaces; a total of 15 parking spaces are proposed on-site (see revised Site Plan, sheet A.101). Environmental Review: The February 22, 2016 Planning Commission meeting included environmental scoping and design review for the proposed project. An Initial Study was prepared by Circlepoint, dated November 2016. Based on the Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for review by the Planning Commission. As presented the Mitigated Negative Declaration identified issues that were "less than significant with mitigation incorporation" in the areas of aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology/soils, hazards/hazardous materials, noise, and transportation and traffic. Based upon the mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project can be addressed by a Mitigated Negative Declaration since the Initial Study did not identify any adverse impacts which could not be reduced to acceptable levels by mitigation (please refer to the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study No. 595-P). The mitigation measures in the Initial Study have been incorporated into the recommended conditions of approval (in italics). The Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for public review on November 23, 2016. The 20-day review period ends on December 12, 2016; as of the printing date of this staff report, no comments have been submitted on the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Design Review: Design Review is required for new automobile service facility pursuant to Code Section 25.57.010 (c) (1). Design Review was instituted for commercial projects in 2001 with the adoption of the Commercial Design Guidebook. On May 11, 2009 the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review for fa�ade changes to the existing Subaru showroom; the project was completed in December, 2010. The existing Subaru showroom building to be retained contains stucco walls, a slate tile clad pilaster, an aluminum anodized storefront system, aluminum composite paneling and painted steel and aluminum trim across the upper portion of the building. 2 Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map The proposed new automobile service facility requires an application for Design Review and is subject to Section 5.0 - Design & Character of the Downtown Specific Plan (see attached). The proposed service facility building contains prefinished horizontal metal and aluminum composite panel siding, painted steel and aluminum trim and an aluminum anodized storefront system. Please refer to the proposed building elevations (sheet A.301) provided by the designer. As measured from the average top of curb level along California Drive, the proposed building measures 25'-1'/z" in height and therefore is in compliance with building height regulations (55'-0" maximum allowed; Conditional Use Permit required for any building exceeding 35'-0"). The proposed ground floor ceiling height is 19'-10" where 15'-0" is the minimum required. General Plan and Zoning: This application includes combining four parcels and portions of a fifth and sixth parcel into one parcel for the proposed project. The remaining fifth and sixth parcels at the corner of Bayswater Avenue and Highland Avenue would be combined into one parcel as a part of this process, and would continue to be used for storing new vehicle inventory. The proposed project requires applications for a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of a portion of the site from R-4 Incentive District to California Drive Mixed Use District and Rezoning a portion of a parcel from R-4 (high density multifamily residential) to CAR (California Drive Auto Row). The Burlingame General Plan designates this site for Service and Special Sales. In 2010 the City Council adopted the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan, which serves as an element of the General Plan. Within the Downtown Specific Plan, the majority of the site is located in the California Drive Mixed Use District; the remaining portion of the site is located in the R-4 Incentive District. The California Drive Mixed Use District is described as follows: The Auto Row area is the area along California Drive between Burlingame and Peninsula Avenues. Automobile-related uses dominate in this area. Auto showrooms, hotel or retail uses are permitted on the ground floor, and housing, offices or hotel uses can be allowed on upper floors. Non-auto uses should be carefully considered to ensure compatibility with the area's fraditional focus on automobile businesses; retail, personal and business services, and hotels require a conditional use permit, as do commercial uses greater than 5, 000 square feet. The project site is predominantly located in the CAR zoning district designated primarily for automobile-related uses, with the remaining portion of the site located in the R-4 District designated primarily for high-density multifamily residential land uses. Off-Street Parking and Trip Generation: Off-street parking is required for the existing automobile sales showroom and the proposed automobile service facility. Based on the existing automobile showroom (1,539 SF @ 1:600 SF parking ratio) and proposed automobile service facility (8,725 SF @ 1:800 SF parking ratio) and parts storage mezzanine (1,627 SF @ 1:1,000 SF parking ratio), a total of 15 off-street parking spaces are required. The proposal complies with the off-street parking requirement by providing a total of 15 parking spaces at the front of the site. The front of the site would also contain a vehicle display area. Customers will enter the facility off Bayswater Avenue and drive into one of two service drive lanes until greeted by a service writer. The vehicles would then be driven to the service facility for servicing. Two new curb cuts will be installed along Bayswater Avenue for the new service facility. The existing curb cut along BayswaterAvenue near the corner will be reduced in width; the existing curb cut further west along Bayswater Avenue will be eliminated. 3 Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendmen% Rezoning, 85 Ca/ifornia Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map The following is an excerpt from Section 16, Transportation and Traffic, of the Initial Study, which provides a summary of the proposed project's expected trip generation compared with the existing on-site use: "The project site currently occupies two separate parcels that are fully developed with a showroom building, an automobile service facility, an automobile rental office, and automobile storage on a paved parking area. The existing service facility generates an estimated 75 daily vehicle trips-6 during the AM peak hour and 8 during the PM peak hour. The anticipated trip generation for the proposed project was estimated using standard rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition, 2012 for "Automobile Care Center". The proposed project is expected to generate an average of 125 daily trips, with 26 trips during the AM peak hour and 36 during the PM peak hour. San Mateo County generally requires a traffic report if a project generates over 500 trips per day or 100 trips during the peak hour or where other possible adverse effects are identified. Because the project's expected trip generation would be below these thresholds, operational impacts to traffic and level-of-service (LOS) standards would be less than significant." With respect to the proposed modifications to the curb cuts along Bayswater Avenue, the Initial Study notes the following: "Sight distance along Bayswater Avenue at the project driveways was evaluated based on sight distance criteria contained in the Highway Design Manual published by Caltrans. Both California Drive and Bayswater Avenue within the project vicinity are relatively flat and straight, and sight lines for the proposed driveways would be satisfactory, so long as parked vehicles along the project frontages do not obstruct sight lines. Mitiqation Measure TRA-2 would avoid potential safety impacts at these access points. Mitiqation Measure TRA-2: On-street parking to the east and west of the outbound driveways on Bayswater Avenue shall be prohibited by painting red curb for a distance of approximately 20 feet on either side." Landscaping/Street Trees: No landscaping or vegetation exists on the site. Two new areas of landscaping, totaling 879 SF, are proposed to be planted in the areas designated for bioretention (see sheet A.101). There are seven street trees, six evergreen pear trees (Pyrus kawakami�) and one maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba), along Bayswater Avenue in front of the project property. All seven street trees would be removed and replaced with four new street trees along Bayswater Avenue. Two evergreen pear trees and one maidenhair tree would be removed to accommodate new curb cuts for the new service facility. The remaining four evergreen pear trees would also be removed and replaced with four maidenhair trees. The applicant would obtain the required tree removal permits from the Parks and Recreation Director pursuant to the Burlingame Municipal Code Chapter 11.04, Street Trees. There are no street trees currently existing along California Drive in front of the project property. As part of the project, two new 24-inch box'Redspire' Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana'Redspire') street trees would be planted along California Drive to satisfy the Burlingame Parks Division. Additionally, two new areas of landscaping, totaling 879 square feet, would be planted in the areas designated for bioretention.

February 22, 2016 Environmental Scoping and Design Review Study Meeting: At the February 22, 2016, Planning Commission environmental scoping and design review study meeting, the Commission provided the comments and questions listed below (see attached February 22, 2016 Planning Commission Minutes). There were no changes to the design of the building. Please refer to the applicanYs written response, dated December 5, 2016, for responses to the questions and comments listed below, as well as a summary of the changes made to the project since the design review meeting. Responses provided by staff are found on the following page. Comments addressed by applicant (see applicant's written response dated December 5, 2016 for answers to these comments/questions): • Will both vehicle storage lots on Bayswater be affected? ■ Would it be possible to get rendered elevations or 3-D rendering from corner of California and Bayswater to get a better idea of building massing? ■ Is there a plan to add street trees elsewhere, or alternates that would not remove as many? ■ Have you spoken to the residents of the apartment building next door?

Wou/d like fo eva/uate the remaining R-4 parcel for viability. The General Plan emphasizes making room for housing. As previously noted in the staff report, the project has been revised to increase the remaining R-4 lot from 7,200 SF to 9,000 SF in area (90' along Bayswater Avenue x 100' along Highland Avenue). There are several multifamily residential buildings on Highland Avenue, south of Bayswater Avenue, most of which are located on narrower 50' wide lots measuring 10,000 SF in area. Planning records show that these multifamily buildings range in size from 9 to 14 units, or 39 to 60 dwelling units/acre. Based on the General Plan designation of 51 plus dwelling units/acre for high density multifamily residential, the remaining R-4 lot (9,000 SF proposed) could accommodate at least 10 units. In order to provide an incentive to encourage high density residential uses, buildings or structures up to 55'-0" in height are allowed by right within the R-4 Incentive District. Based on the proposed 9,000 SF lot size, a four-story building above at-grade parking containing 3-4 units per floor would yield 12-16 units. Lastly, the remaining R-4 parcel currently consists of two 50' x 100' lots. Combining these two lots into one large lot would encourage development of a more viable multifamily residential project. 2. Concerned to have the R-4 /ot remain as carsforage when the Downtown Specific P/an encourages residentia/ deve/opment. • The automobile storage use is considered to be an existing nonconforming use. Since there is no change proposed to the use of this lot with this application, the use may remain until it is redeveloped in the future. 3. Consider traffic issues. • Please refer to the `Off-Street Parking and Trip Generation' section on pages 3 through 4 of the staff report, as well as the'Transportation and Traffic' section on pages 61 through 66 of the Initial Study. In summary, the Transportation and Traffic analysis in the Initial Study concludes that operational impacts to traffic and level-of-service standards from the proposed project would be less than significant. The existing service facility generates an estimated 75 daily vehicle trips - 6 during the AM peak hour and 8 during the PM peak hour. The proposed project is expected to generate an average of 125 daily trips - 26 trips during the AM peak hour and 36 during the PM peak hour. San Mateo County generally requires a traffic report if a project generates over 500 trips per day or 100 trips during the peak hour or where other possible adverse effects are identified. Because the project's expected trip generation would be below these thresholds, operational impacts to traffic and level-of-service (LOS) standards would be less than significant. 4. Concern with noise with service building up against adjacent apartment building. Eva/uate currenf noise levels compared fo anficipated noise levels after construction. • The following are excerpts from Section 12, Noise, of the Initial Study, which analyzes the potential noise impacts from operation of the proposed automobile service facility. Illingworth and Rodkin, Inc., prepared a Noise and Vibration Assessment for the project in August 2016. In summary, the Noise analysis in the Initial Study concludes that operational impacts to noise standards from the proposed project would be less than significant. � Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendmenf, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map "The nearest noise sensitive receptors are an apartment building that adjoins the site to the southeast and single family residences located across Highland Avenue, about 150 feet from the site. Based on the results of the noise monitoring survey, existing daytime traffic noise levels at the single and multi-family residences were measured to be in the range of 53 to 57 dBA L�y with maximum ambient levels in the range of 67 to 76 dBA Lmax• The Noise Element of the General Plan sets forth noise and land use compatibility standards to guide development, and noise goals and policies to protect citizens from the harmful and annoying effects of excessive noise. Suggested outdoor noise levels suitable for single- and multi-family residential land uses would range up to 60 dBA CNEL, according to the General Plan. The General Plan also establishes 45 dBA CNEL as the indoor noise level planning criterion. Once operational, service activities would generate CNEL levels of 44 to 47 dBA at the north facing fa�ade of the apartment building, about 35 dBA in the apartment courtyard area, and 37 to 44 dBA at the closest residences across Highland Avenue. These levels would be well below the 60 dBA CNEL criteria. The primary sources of noise anticipated at the existing residences are service center activities, oil deliveries, and vehicle circulation. According to the project plans, both the service center entrance and exit would face away from noise sensitive areas. The service center entrance would be located approximately 25 feet and facing away from the adjoining apartment building; therefore, partial acoustical shielding would be provided from the service building itself. The residences across Highland Avenue would have partial line-of-sight to the service center exit and are located about 190 to 250 feet from the proposed roll-up door location. Assuming a worst-case scenario noise level of 65 dBA �eq during full service operations at a distance of 50 feet from, and in direct line-of-sight of an open bay, operational noise levels are calculated to be 47 to 50 dBA Leq at the north-facing fa�ade of the apartment building, about 38 dBA Leq in the apartment courtyard area, and 40 to 47 dBA Leq at the closest residences across Highland Avenue. These levels would be well below the 60 dBA CNEL threshold. Given this, any permanent increases in noise levels would not be perceptible, and this impact would be less than significant." Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for Lot Combination: The Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map application and project application are reviewed together by the Planning Commission. Please refer to the attached memorandum prepared by the Department of Public Works — Engineering Division, dated December 8, 2016. The Planning Commission's action on the map application should be in the form of a recommendation to the City Council. The Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map shows how the existing six lots would be combined into two lots; the proposed project site (Parcel B) and the remaining R-4 parcel (Parcel A). Parcel B would have 107 feet of street frontage along California Drive and 211.17 feet of street frontage along Bayswater Avenue, and would measure 24,925 SF in area. In the CAR District, the minimum requirement is a 5,000 SF lot with 50 feet of street frontage. Parcel B as proposed is in compliance with lot size and street frontage requirements. Parcel A would have 100 feet of street frontage along Highland Avenue and 90 feet of street frontage along Bayswater Avenue, and would measure 9,000 SF in area. In the R-4 District, the minimum requirement is a 5,000 SF lot with 55 feet of street frontage from lots measuring 7,000 SF to 9,999 SF in area. Parcel A as proposed is in compliance with lot size and street frontage requirements. 7 Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Public Facilities Impact Fees: The purpose of public facilities impact fees is to provide funding for necessary maintenance and improvements created by development projects. Public facilities impact fees are based on the uses, the number of dwelling units, and the amount of square footage to be located on the property after completion of the development project. New development that, through demolition or conversion, will eliminate existing development is entitled to a fee credit offset if the existing development is a lawful use under this title, including a nonconforming use. Based on proposed service facility (10,352 SF of enclosed building area) and providing a credit for the existing service facility (2,620 SF) and showroom office (115 SF) to be demolished, the required Public Facilities Impact Fee for this development project is: $17,498.58 (see table below). One-half of the public facilities impact fees payment will be required prior to issuance of a building permit issuance; the second half of the payment will be required before the final framing inspection.

E Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentaiive Subdivision Map Findings for a Mitigated Negative Declaration: For CEQA requirements the Planning Commission must review and approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration, finding that on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received in writing or at the public hearing that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant (negative) effect on the environment. Suggested Findings for Mitigated Negative Declaration: In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the environmental analysis in the Initial Study was conducted to determine if there were any project-specific effects that are peculiar to the project or its site. Based on the environmental analysis, it was determined that the proposed project would have no adverse environmental impacts on the environmental in the areas of agriculture and forestry services, greenhouse gas emissions, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, population/housing, public services, recreation, and utilities and service systems. Although the environmental analysis did find that the project could have a significant effect in the areas of aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology/soils, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, transportation and traffic, and mandatory findings of significance, mitigations measures were identified to reduce adverse impacts to acceptable levels. Therefore, based on the Initial Study there will be no significant environmental effects as a result of this project. Findings for a General Plan Amendment: In acting on the request for a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of a portion of the site from R-4 Incentive District to California Drive Mixed Use District, the Planning Commission should state the reasons why they feel such action is appropriate. The Commission must state why the changes are consistent with the policies of the General Plan and in particular the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Suggested Findings for a General Plan Amendment: That the proposal includes changing the land use designation of a portion of the property which currently contains no structures and is currently being used to store vehicles associated with the automobile dealership (Assessor's Parcel 029-242-020 and a portion of 029-242-230) from the R-4 Incentive District to the California Drive Mixed Use District within the Downtown Specific Plan, which will bring the entire combined site into one designation and would be consistent with the adjacent California Drive Mixed Use District general plan designation; that the change in land use designation will not alter the land use patterns in the area since the area is currently being used to store vehicles and is an extension of the existing California Drive Mixed Use District; that the City of Burlingame General Plan indicates that this designation consists of the Auto Row area along California Drive between Burlingame and Peninsula Avenues dominated by automobile-related uses, and that auto showrooms, hotel or retail uses are permitted on the ground floor, that automobile dealerships and services facilities are an important part of the City's economy, and that the proposed service facility will continue to provide a needed service for the community, and therefore the proposed automobile service facility would be consistent with the California Drive Mixed Use District general plan designation; therefore the general plan amendment may be found to be consistent with the policies of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Findings for a Rezoning: In acting on the request to rezone a portion of a parcel from R-4 (high density multifamily residential) to CAR (California Drive Auto Row), the Planning Commission should state the reasons why they feel such action is appropriate and consistent with the intent of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Code Section 25.04.010 states that the zoning plan is established for the following purposes: to promote public health, safety and welfare; preserve a wholesome serviceable and attractive community which increases the safety and security of home life; promote harmonious character and economy among property, building construction and civic services; establish regulations to limit the location, uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, street setback, yard sizes and occupancy of building structures and land; encourage remodeling of existing residential structures; preserve residential neighborhood character of single family structures and accessory structures and provide for the best general civic use to protect the common rights and interests of all. 0 Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Suggested Findings for a Rezoning: That the project includes rezoning of a portion of the property which currently contains no structures (Assessor's Parcel 029-242-020 and a portion of 029-242-230) from the R-4 (high density multifamily residential) to the CAR (California DriveAuto Row) zone, which will bring the entire combined site into one zoning designation and would be consistent with the proposed California Drive Mixed Use District general plan designation; that the City of Burlingame Zoning code indicates that retail sales and service of automobiles is a permitted use within the CAR Zoning District and that the proposed project conforms to all development regulations for the CAR Zoning District; therefore the rezoning may be found to be consistent with the intent of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for Commercial Design Review as established in Ordinance No. 1652 adopted by the Council on April 16, 2001 are outlined as follows: 1. Support of the pattern of diverse architectural styles that characterize the city's commercial areas; 2. Respect and promotion of pedestrian activity by placement of buildings to maximize commercial use of the street frontage, off-street public spaces, and by locating parking so that it does not dominate street frontages; 3. On visually prominent and gateway sites, whether the design fits the site and is compatible with the surrounding development; 4. Compatibility of the architecture with the mass, bulk, scale, and existing materials of existing development and compatibility with transitions where changes in land use occur nearby; 5. Architectural design consistency by using a single architectural style on the site that is consistent among primary elements of the structure, restores or retains existing or significant original architectural features, and is compatible in mass and bulk with other structure in the immediate area; and 6. Provision of site features such as fencing, landscaping, and pedestrian circulation that enriches the existing opportunities of the commercial neighborhood. Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the proposal consisting of prefinished horizontal metal and aluminum composite panel siding, painted steel and aluminum trim and an aluminum anodized storefront system is consistent with the pattern of diverse architectural styles that characterize the city's commercial areas and is consistent with the architectural style and mass and bulk with the existing showroom building to remain and with other automobile sales and service buildings in the area; that the proposal is consistent with the design guidelines established in Chapter 5 of the Downtown Specific Plan (Design & Character); and that 879 SF of new landscaping in the ground and six new street trees along California Drive and Bayswater Avenue will be planted to enrich the existing commercial neighborhood; therefore the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's design review criteria. Findings for Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map: In order to approve a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, the Commission and Council must find that the proposed Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the Burlingame General Plan and consistent with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, and that the site is physically suited for the proposed type and density of development. Suggested Findings for Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map: That the proposed Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the Burlingame General Plan and consistent with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act; that the site is physically suited for the proposed type of development in that it provides an automobile service facility use in an area identified as suitable for such use in the Burlingame General Plan; that the project provides ample 10 Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map vehicular and pedestrian circulation to serve the project, and is consistent with required development standards including setbacks, lot coverage and building height; therefore the project may be found to be compatible with the criteria listed above. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action to recommend the following items should be taken separately by resolution including the conditions representing mitigation for the Mitigated Negative Declaration (in italics below) and any conditions from the staff report and/or that the commissioners may add. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated. 1. Mitigated Negative Declaration 2. General Plan Amendment 3. Rezone 4. Design Review 5. Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Since the City Council is the final decision-making body regarding the request for General Plan Amendment and Rezoning of a portion of the subject site, the Planning Commission's action should be in the form of a recommendation to the City Council, since the entire application will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. Please note that the conditions below include mitigation measures taken from the Mitigated Negative Declaration/Initial Study (shown in italics). If the Commission determines that these conditions do not adequately address any potential significant impacts on the environment, then an Environmental Impact Report would need to be prepared for this project.

All diesel-powered off-road equipment largerthan 25 horsepowerand operating on the site formore than two continuous days shall, at a minimum, meet U. S. EPA particulafe matter emissions standards for Tier 4 engines or equivalent. 24. If construction activities would commence anytime during the nesting/breeding season of native bird species potentially nesting near the site (typically February through August in the project region), a pre- construction survey for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within two weeks of the commencement of construction activities. If active nests are found in areas that could be directly affected or are within 150 feet of construction and would be subject to prolonged construction-related noise, a no-disturbance bufferzone shall be created around active nests during the breeding season or until a qualified biologist determines that all young have fledged. The size of the bufferzones and types of construction activities restricted within them will be determined by taking into account factors such as the following: ■ Noise and human disturbance levels at the construction site at the fime of the survey and the noise and disturbance expected during fhe construction acfivity; ■ Distance and amount of vegetation or other screening between the construction site and the nest; and ■ Sensitivity of individual nesting species and behaviors of the nesting birds. Bio/ogical Resources 25. Prior to the removal of any trees, the project applicant shall evaluate if fhe on-site trees meet the requirement to be considered a"protecfed" tree. A permit shall be obtained from the Parks and Recreation Department prior to the removal of a protecfed tree. Cultural Resources 26. In the event archaeological resources are encountered during construction, work shall be halted within 100 feet of the discovered materials and workers shall avoid altering the materials and their context until a qualified professional archaeologist has evaluated the situation and provided appropriate recommendations. If an archaeological site is encountered in any stage of development, a qualified archeologist will be consulted to determine whether the resource qualifies as an historical resource or a unique archaeological resource. In the event that it does qualify, the archaeologist will prepare a research design and archaeological data recovery plan to be implemented priorto orduring site construcfion. The archaeologist shall also prepare a written report of the finding, file it with fhe appropriate agency, and arrange for curation of recovered materials. 27. A discovery of a paleontological specimen during any phase of the project shall result in a work stoppage in the vicinity of the find until it can be evaluated by a professional paleontologist. Should loss ordamage be defected, additional protective measures orfurtheraction (e.g., resource removal), as determined by a professiona/ paleontologist, shall be implemented to mitigate the impact. 14 Mitigated Negative Declaration, Genera/ Plan Amendment, Rezoning, 85 California Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 28. In the event that human remains are discovered during project construction, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains. The county coroner shall be informed to evaluate the nature of the remains. If the remains are determined to be of Native American origin, the Lead Agency shall work with the Native American Heritage Commission and the applicant to develop an agreement for treating or disposing of the human remains. Geo/ogy and Soils 29. Project design and construction shall adhere to Title 18, Chapter 18.28 of the Burlingame Municipal Code, and demonstrate compliance with all design standards applicable to the California Building Code Zone 4 would ensure maximum practicable protection available to users of the buildings and associated infrastructure. 30. Project design and consfruction, including excavation activities, shall comply with Chapter33 of the CBC, which specifies the safety requirement to be fulfilled for site work. This would include prevention of subsidence and pavement or foundations caused by dewatering. 31. The applicant shall prepare a monitoring program to determine the effects of construction on nearby improvements, including the monitoring of cracking and vertical movement of adjacenf sfructures, and nearby streets, sidewalks, utilifies, and other improvements. As necessary, inclinometers or other instrumentation shall be installed as part of the shoring system to closely monitorlateral movement. The program shall include a pre-condition survey including photographs and installation of moniforing points for existing site improvements. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 32. The contractor shall comply with Title 8, California Code of Regulations/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements that coverconstruction work where an employee may be exposed to lead. This includes the proper removal and disposal of peeling paint, and appropriate sampling of painted building surfaces for lead prior to disturbance of the paint and disposal of the paint or painted materials. 33. The applicant shall contract a Certified Asbestos Consultant to conduct an asbestos survey prior to disturbing potenfial asbestos containing building materials and following the Consultant's recommendations for proper handling and disposal. 34. Workers handling demolition and renovafion activities at the project site will be trained in the safe handling and disposal of any containments with which fhey are handling or disposing of on the project site. Noise 35. The following measures, in addition to the best practices specified in Impact 3, shall be implemented to reduce vibration impacts from construction activities to a less-fhan-significant level: For all construction proposed to be /ocated within 20 feet of adjacent structures, a construction vibration-monitoring plan would need to be implemented to document condifions prior to, during and after vibration generating construcfion activities. All plan tasks shall be undertaken under the direction of a licensed Professional Structural Engineer in the State of California and be in accordance with indusfry accepted standard methods. The construction vibration monitoring plan should be implemented to include the following tasks: 15 Mitigated Negative Dec/aration, General P/an Amendment, Rezoning, 85 Ca/ifornia Drive Design Review, and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map - Perform a photo survey, elevation survey, and crack monitoring survey for each identified structure. Surveys shall be performed prior to any construction activity and after project completion and sha/1 include internal and external crack monitoring in structures, settlement, and distress and shall document the condition of foundations, walls and other structural elements in the interior and exterior of said structures. - Designate a person responsible for registering and investigating claims of excessive vibration. The contact information of such person shall be clearly posted on the construction site. - Make appropriate repairs or compensation where damage has occurred as a result of construction activities. - The results of a// vibration monitoring shall be summarized and submitted in a report shortly after substantial complefion of each phase identified in the project schedule. The report will include a description of ineasurement methods, equipment used, calibration certificates, and graphics as required to clearly identify vibration-monitoring locations. An explanation of all events that exceeded vibration limits will be included together with proper documentation supporting any such claims. Transporfation and Traffic 36. Prior to issuance of grading and building permits, the project applicant shall submit a Traffic Control Plan. The Traffic Control Plan would indicate how parking for construction workers would be provided during construction and ensure a safe flow of traffic in the project area during construction. The requirements within the Traffic Control Plan include, but are nof limited to, the following.� truck drivers would be notified of and required fo use the most direct route between the site and U. S. 101, as determined by the City Engineering Department; alI site ingress and egress would occur only at the main driveways to the project site; specifically designated travel routes forlarge vehicles would be monitored and controlled by flaggers for large construction vehicle ingress and egress; warning signs indicating frequent truck entry and exit would be posted on adjacent roadways if requested; and any debris and mud on nearby streets caused by trucks would be monitored daily and may require instituting a street cleaning program. 37. On-street parking to the east and west of the outbound driveways on Bayswater Avenue shall be prohibited by painting red curb for a distance of approximately 20 feet on either side.

This letter outlines our responses to the various comments and questions identified by the City of Burlingame Planning Commission in their review of the project on February 22, 2016. At the conclusion, we also provide a summary of changes to the Project since the Planning Commission last reviewed the project. Minutes • Will both vehicle storage /ots on Bayswater be effected? o Yes, the scale of the proposed improvements affect both lots. However, we've tried to maximize the area of the remaining lot at the corner of Bayswater and Highland. This involved some concessions to the project as due to the proximity to the property line we had to eliminate the expanse of windows from the West elevation and also provide a fire rated wall. • Wou/d it be possible to get rendered elevations or 3-D rendering from corner of California and Bayswater to get a better idea of building massing? o Yes — we include a rendering from the corner of California and Bayswater in this current package. • Is there a plan to add street trees elsewhere, or a/ternates that wou/d not remove as many? o There has been no change to the direction on this and we currently envision only adding (2) Street trees on California given the limited frontage. We are happy to entertain additional street trees on Bayswater if the Planning Commission feels they wouid be a significant benefit to the project. • Have you spoken to the residents of the apartment building next door? o We are in the process of setting up a meeting with the owner of the adjacent apartment building and hope to have more information to report on the progress of those discussions at next Monday's Planning Commission meeting. Proiect Revisions • Western Property Line o Previously the property line to the West of the new building was set 20' off the face of the new building to allow for a healthy expanse of windows along the West elevation. We heard the comments and concerns from the Planning Commission about whether this would leave a viable lot at the corner of Highland and Bayswater. To address these concerns we're now locating the property line only 1'-0" to the West of the building. Unfortunately, this close proximity precludes the location of windows, but we hope it will be appreciated that it provides a more sizable and viable lot for potential residential use at the corner of Highland and Baywater. • Extent of Roofing o Previously only 1 bay of roofing was provided at the Service Drive. We now propose to roof the extent of the service drive as well as the intersection with the existing buildings to the South and East. This will provide an important, weatherproof amenity to customers and architecturally will also provide a more integrated experience with a consistent roof and ceiling treatment. , 2"d Floor Parts Storage o We have provided an approximately 1600 sf Parts Storage Mezzanine and associated stair for access. This will provide the Owner with critical storage space without resulting in additional building footprint on what is already a very tight, and somewhat constrained site. This additional program and area resulted in two additional changes ■ We made the building 1' taller (from 24'-1 '/z" to 25'-1 '/�") to accommodate the added storage mezzanine ■ The additional area required 1 additional parking space which we've provided in the covered area immediately to the North of the existing Mazda Service building and to the South of the existing Subaru showroom. We trust this provides you with the information you require at this time, but please review and let us know if you have any questions.

Serve as a set of guiding design principles for public officials, developers, designers and the community to use, which are sensitive to the conditions of each subarea of the planning area. Give the Ciry of Burlingame tools to evaluate and guide project design. Supplement the Commexcial Design Guidebook with guidelines and standards specific to Downtown. The guidelines and standards that have been developed for the Downtown Specific Plan area are based on the land uses and character of each Downtown subarea. The Subareas are described in the Land Use Chapter (Chapter 3) of this plan. Within the Specific Plan axea, any acuons pxoposing substantial physical changes to any parcel of land or e�sting structure, or the proposed construction of new structures, shall be subject to Design Review as out- lined in Section 25.57 of the Burlingame Municipal Code. Applications shall be xeviewed for consistency with all applicable Downtown SpeciFic Plan and General Plan provisions, and applicable City ordinances and standards. Design guidelines and standards in both the Dozvntotvn Sj�ecific Plan and the Commerczal De.rign Guidebook apply to all downtown projects and provide the basis fox design review 5.1 DOWNTOWN ARCHITECTURAL SETTING Downtown B�lingame was the focal point of the City during its early development, and over the years it has continued to be the symbolic center of the community. It continues to be a defined, identifiable place with distinct boundaries and a unique urban scale. A range of architectural sryles and periods are represented within Downtown and serve to create a distinctive character for the area, one that is highly valued by the City's residents and that leaves a lasting, positive unpression upon visitors. New buildings and rehabilitation projects should dxaw fxom and build upon this character. 5-1 S.0 Design & Character � ,�� H..,��,�,�:::,,,� Corrnr,ercial Design Guidebook FIGURE 5-2: Commercial and mixed use development projects in the Downtown Specific Plan area are subject to the City of Burlingame's Commercial Design Guidebook. 5.2 In the commercial areas, there is a consistency and cohesion of archi- tectural styles. Many buildings utilize classical proportions, and are enriched with detailing such as pilasters, wood detailing, and embossed relief. There are also some fine modern buildings, which ovexall are compatible in scale and detail with more historical examples. The "core" area centered axound Burlingame and Howard Avenues func- tions as a defined retail centex. In the residential neighborhoods, styles are more varied. Cohesion is achieved by compatibility in building scale and massing, along with consistently lush landscaping. All builclings within each area of Downtown should contribute to the area's identiry as a part of Downtown Burlingame. The core commer- cial areas centered on Burlingame and Howaxd Avenues should have a lively mix of buildings at different heights and styles. Ground floor retail should relate to Downtown's traditional stoxefronts by using large display windows, kickplates, and clerestory and transom windows. In the California Drive commercial areas, development may be lower in intensity but should continue to build on the Downtown core's classic, restrained styling. In the residential areas, ne�v projects should rein- force the fine-grained scale and quiet amenity that exists. The variety of architectural styles is an asset to Downtown, and both historically inspired and modexn sryles should be accommodated. Regardless of architectural style and approach, new buildings should exhibit fine-grained, pedestrian-friendly scale and details. DESIGN STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE AREAS The commercial areas of Downtown Burlingame have historically been the most active, public places in the community. New commercial and mixed use buildings should contribute to the existing "Main Street" character. They should enhance the pedestrian nature of Downtown, defining the street as a public place, with active storeExonts, windows, FIGURE 5-1: The core commercial areas centered on Burlingame and Howard Avenues features a range of architectural styles and periods. and doors at ground level. Architecture should include the type of well-crafted architectural details that axe common to Burlingame, and convey that architectural heritage in terms of material, color, propor- tion, window type, and overall composition. Commercial and xnixed use development pxojects in the Downtown Specific Plan axea are subject to the Ciry of Burlingame's Commercial De.rign Guidebook. In addition, the following recommendations apply specifically to Downtown development: 5.2.1 PEDESTRIAN USE AND CHARACTER 5.2.1.1 Entrances Commercial entrances should be recessed from the fa�ade, creating a small alcove. This establishes a more definitive sense of entry and affords an altexnative view of inerchandise in the display windows. E�usting recessed entries should be retained. The doors of a comxnercial storefront typically contain large glass panels with vertical proportions that present a visual connection to the streetscape. Storefxonts should continue to exhibit this pattern, whether a new project or the re-use of an e�sting space. 5.2.1.2 Ground-Level Corner Uses High activiry-generating uses axe especially encouraged at the Burlingame Avenue and Howard Avenue intersections with side streets. Store fa�ades along side streets should be designed to help entice pedestrians onto the side streets. To achieve this, the Ea�ades should include windows and continuation of the architectuxal details fxom the main storefront extending across the sidestreet fa�ade. Entries to elevatox lobbies should not be located at these intersections where they would sexve to diininish pedestrian activity at these highly visible locations. S-3 FIGURE 5-3: Commercial entrances should be recessed from the facade, crearing a small alcove. FIGURE 5-4: Corner parcels are encouraged to incorporate special features such as rounded or cut corners, special corner entrances, display windows, corner roof features, etc. but should avoid monumentally-scaled elements such as towers. S.0 Design & Character 5.2.1.3 Ground Level Treatment FIGURE 5-5: Particular attention should be given to craftsmanship and detailing within the pedestrian's range of touch and view. The unique communiry character created by the miYture of building ages and architectural styles should be maintained. All stxeet-fxontage establishments should provide primary access clirectly to the street. Particular attention should be given to craftsmanship and detailing within the pedestrian's range of touch and view For instance, the use of special storefront detailing and fa�,ade ornamentation such as plant- ers, flower boxes, and special materials can reinforce the pedestrian nature of the street. To ensure ease in caring for landscaping, major xemodels and new pzojects should provide outdoor water spigots and electric sockets. When businesses have access to water, they can mare easily care for their plants and trees, and keep the streets cleaned as well. 5.2.1.4 Site Access Cuxb cuts are prohibited on Burlingame Avenue and should be avoided to the extent feasible on Howard Avenue and California Drive. Any on-site paxking garage should be accessed in a safe, attractive manner and should not significantly detract from pedestrian flow, nox interfere with the orderly flow of traffic on public streets and within parking lots. Where possible, parking gaxage access should be from the side stxeets or alleys. In some cases, access to on-site parking could be provided fxom ciry-owned paxking lots. �-ti FIGURE 5-6: Downtown Burlingame is characterized by relatively narrow building increments, predominantly 15 to 50 feet in width. 5.2.2 ARCHITECTURAI. COMPATIBILITY 5.2.2.1 Building Scale Table 3-2 in Chapter 3 specifies basic builciing standaxds such as setbacks and height. Beyond confoxming to the Uasic building mass, new development should preserve the rhythm and fine- grained pedestrian scale of e�sting buildings within the commercial distxicts by respecting the relatively narrow building increments, which typically range from 15 feet to no more than 50 feet in width. To be consistent with the e�sting chaxacter of Downtown Burlingame, to provide a welcoming xetail environment, and to accommodate a range of potential uses over the lifetime of the building, first floors should have a floor to finished ceiling height of at least 15 feet. New development should also be sensitive to the human scale of Downtown with sensitivity to building height. Buildings should not overwhelm the pedestrian experience on the stxeet and should account for the relationship between building height and street width. Where building mass and height might overwhelm the pedestrian experience on the street, design strategies such as upper floor setbacks and articulated building mass should be considered to ensure comfortable human scale. FIGURE 5-7: Buildings should not overwhelm the pedestrian experience on the street and should account for the relationship between building height and street width.

Building fa�ades should xespond to the xelatively narxow increments of development (15 to 50 feet) with variation in fenestration, building materials and/or building planes. Facades should have generous reveals such as inset doorways and windows. Dooxs, windows, and details should be in keeping with pedestrian scale, as opposed to a monumental scale that is out of proportion to the s�rounding context. Design details should be authentic and have purpose, rather than being applied or strictly decorative. Facades should have a variation of both positive space (missing) and negative space (plazas, inset doorway�s and windows). Facades on both new and rehabilitated buildings should include the elements that make up a complete storefront including doors, display windows, bulkheads, signage areas and awnings. New buildings need not nvmic an "historic" architectural style (and in fact should avoid unitation that xesults in caxicatures) but should include a level of archi- tectural detailing and qualiry of materials that complements e�sting buildings. Where older exiting buildings are renovated, preservation of e�cisting architectuxal details and materials is encouxaged. Even if separate businesses function within the same building, the overall design of the fa�ade should be consistent. Individual businesses should not break the basic lines, material and concept of the far�ade. Storefronts can be demarcated from each other within the same build- ing by subtle variations in the color or pattern of surfaces of doors, tiling, signage ox entries. Coxner parcels are encouraged to incorporate features such as rounded or cut corners, cornex entrances, display win- dows, corner roof features, wrap-around awnings/ovexhangs, blade FIGURE 5-13: Even if separate businesses funcrion within the same building, signs, etc. the overall design of the fa�ade should be consistent. Individual businesses should not break the basic lines, material and concept of the facade. 5.2.3.2 Windows General Windows are important for providing "eyes on the street" and enliven- ing streetscapes. Building walls should be punctuated by well-pxopor- tioned openings that pxovide relief, detail and variauon on the fa�ade. ��lindows should be inset from the building wall to create shade and shadow detail. The use of high-quality window products that contrib- ute to the richness and detail of the fa�ade is encouraged. Reflective glass is considered an undesirable material because of its tendency to create uncomfortable glare conditions and a foxbidding appearance. The use of materials that are reflected in the historic architecture pres- ent in the Downtown area is encouraged. Di.rplay Windozv.r Display windows should be designed to enliven the street and provide pedestrian views into the interior of the storefront. Size, division and shape of display windows should maintain the established rhythm of the streetscape. Glass used in the display windows should be clear so it is possible to see inside, and display cases that block views into stores are strongly discouraged. Noticably tinted glazing is discouraged and rnixrored/reflective glass is not permitted. 5.2.3.3 Awnings Awnings should be designed to be decorative, complimentary to the overall facade design, and provide effective weather and sun protec- tion. The placement of awnings should relate to the major architec- tural elements of the facade, avoiding covering any transom windows ox architectural elements such as belt courses, decorative trim and simi- lar featuxes. The position of awnings should also relate to the pedes- trian and pxovide a sense of shelter, with awnings situated to corre- spond to the tops of doorways and scale of pedestrians rather than high up on the facade with a monumental scale. Separate awnings should be used over individual storefront bays as defined by the col- umns or pilasters xather than placing a continuous awning across the - - , . � ..� ` _- ir� � � '� , �,� ,.a�;;� : ' �� G., _-� �� .I � �� ..r,_ �,. f^ , , ... ;;;, �- �= �.�' � FIGURE 5-14: Size, division and shape of display windows should maintain the established rhythm of the streetscape FIGURE 5-15: Awnings should be designed to be decorative, complimentary to the overall facade design, and provide effecrive weather and sun protection.

Building materials should be richly detailed to provide visual interest; reference should be made to materials used in notable examples of his- toric Downtown architecture. Metal siding and large expanses of stuc- co or wood siding are also to be avoided, except in the Myrtle Mixed Use area. Roofing materials and accenting features such as canopies, cornices, and tile accents should also offex color variation. Character and xichness in Downtown can be enhanced from the incox- poration of details and ornamentation into the design of the buildings. These elements can include elements that have been traditionally used such as cornices, bxackets or moldings. 5.2.3.4 Rear and Side Facades Because the side streets and alleys in Downtown are highly visible and axe used for both pedestrian access and vehicular access, rear and side fa�ades that are visible from the public xealm should exhibit sophisti- cated levels of design and materials. Rear and side far�ades of e�sting buildings should be improved with design featuxes and qualiry materi- als where possible. Buildings should have windows and doors oriented to the alleys and side streets. Entry doors, garage dooxs and windows should be attractive and d�able. Where buildings abut public parking lots, they are strongly enco�aged to have rear entrances in addition to their principal street entrances. Rear facades may look like the back of a building, but still be pleasant and inviting. Service facilities such as trash enclosures and mechanical equipment should be screened with enclosures and devices consistent with the building architectuxe in form, material and detail. Roofs and trellises axe recommended for screerung views from above. Whenever possible, trash and recycling enclosures should be consolidated and designed to serve several adjacent businesses provided they do not become over- �� 5-ll� FIGURE 5-16: Rear and side facades that are visible from the public realm should exhibit sophisticated levels of design and materials of a quality similar to front facades. Buildings facing public parldng lots are strongly encouraged to have rear entrances in addition to theu principal street entrances. sized ox too ungainly. Care should be taken to ensure refuse areas do not become no�cious ox smelly. Where secuxity devices are desired or warranted, designs should be art- ful with decorative grillwoxk that enhances the overall Uuilding design. Alley areas should be u%ell lit but should be designed so they are attrac- tive and do not adversely impact adjacent propexties and detract from the ambiance of Downtown. 5.2.4 SITE DESIGN AND AMENITIES 5.2.4.1 Building Coverage In order to create well-defined street spaces consistent with the scale of Downtown Burlingame, side yards are genexally� discouraged in favor of contiguous building fa�ades along the street. However, narxow mid-block pedestrian passages that encourage through- block pedesttian cixculation and/ox arcaded spaces that create widez sidewalk areas for cafes, etc. are encouraged. 5.2.4.2 Open Space Private open space within Downtown is not intended to provide recreational or large landscaped areas, since this is a more urban environment. However, open space is an important element and should be used to articulate building foxms, promote access to light and fresh aix, and maintain privacy for powntown residents. In residential mixed-use developments, most open space should be used to provide attractive amenities for xesidents, including interiox courtyards and perimetex landscaping. Balcorues and rooftop terraces are encouraged. Commercial development should typically have less open space in arder to maintain a direct pedestrian relationship and continuous storefront streetscape. Entry alcoves, courtyards, and employee open space are examples. Open space for nonresidential projects should provide a visual amenity fox the development and an attractive buffer to adjacent residential uses where applicable. FIGURE 5-18: Open spaces such as retail plazas and outdoor seating areas should be located at building entries, or along or near well- traveled pedestrian routes to encourage frequent and spontaneous use. FIGURE 5-19: In residential mixed-use developments, most open space should be used to provide attractive amenities for residents, including interior courtyards and perimeter landscaping. S.0 Design & Character Open spaces such as retail plazas and outdoox seating areas should be located at building entries, or along ox near well-traveled pedestrian routes to encourage fxequent and spontaneous use. Amenities should be functional as well as visually appealing, with seating, tables, canopies and covering trellises. Plazas and open spaces should be generously landscaped with trees, planters and vines. Permeable paving and/ox creative site planning elements such as rain gardens are encouraged to alleviate the impacts of paved areas on drainage. Low walls may be used to screen sexvice and mechanical areas, create spatial definition and to provide seating. Low walls should be designed of qualiry materials that are complementary to the architecture of the primary structure(s) on the pxopexty. 5.2.5 RESIDENTIAL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN COMMERCIAL AREAS 5.2.5.1 Setbacks To reinforce the Downtown commercial chaxacter of Downtown Burlingame, mixed-use buildings with a residential component shall conform to the setback standaxds for commercial projects (outlined in Table 3-1 in Chapter 3). The Community Development Director may allow increased side and reax setbacks to enhance the residential portion of a mixed-use pxoject provided the setbacks do not detract from the commercial storefront character of the Downtown district. Setbacks and overall building form should maintain the human scale of Downtown and be in keeping with the character of the suxround- ings, with emphasis on mainintauung an active street edge and sidewalk boundary. 5.2.5.2 Noise and Ground Vibrations Projects with a residential component on California Drive should be designed to minimi�e noise impacts on residents from the Caltrain 5-12 FIGURE 5-20: To reinforce the Downtown commercial character of Downtown Burlingame, mixed-use buildings with a residential component shall conform to the setback standards for commercial projects. 5.0 Design & Character 5.4 ADDITIONAL DESIGN STANDARDS FOR ALL AREAS OF DOWNTOWN 5.4.1 LAND USE TRANSITIONS Where appropriate, when new projects are built adjacent to e�sting lower-scale xesidential development, care shall be taken to respect the scale and privacy of adjacent properties. 5.4.1.1 Massing and Scale Transitions Transitions of development intensiry from higher density development building types to lower can be done through different building sizes ox massing treatments that axe compatible with the lowex intensiry suxrounding uses. Massing and orientation of new buildings should respect the massing of neighboring structures by varying the massing within a project, stepping back upper stories, reducing mass by composition of solids and voids, and varying sizes of elements to transition to smaller scale builclings. 5.4.1.2 Privacy Privacy of neighboring structures should be maintained with windows and upper floox balconies positioned so they minimi�e views into neighboring properties, minimi7ing sight lines into and from neighboring properties, and limiting sun and shade impacts on abutting properties. 5.4.1.3 Boundaries Where appropriate, when different land uses ox building scales are adjacent, boundaries should be established by providing pedestrian paseos and mews to create separation, rather than walls ox fences. S-?2 FIGURE 5-3G: Transirions of development intensity from higher density development building types to lower can be done though building types or treatments that are comparible with the lower intensity surrounding uses. Boundaries can be established by providing pedestrian paseos and mews to create separarion, rather than walls or fences.

However, as the design of a project is developed, consideration should be given to the potential shading impacts on surroundings. Site plans, massing, and building design should respond to potenual shading issues, minimizing shading impacts where they would be undesixable, or conversely maximizing shading where it is desired. As part of the design review process, development in the Specific Plan Area that is proposed to be taller than e�cisting surrounding structures should be evaluated for potential to create new shadows/ shade on public and/or quasi-public open spaces and major pedestrian routes. At a minimum, shadow diagrams should be prepared for 9 AM, 12 noon, and 3 PM on March 21 st, June 21 st, September 21 st, and December 21 st (approxirriately coxresponding to the solstices and equinoxes) to identify extreme conditions and trends. If warranted, diagrams could also be prepared for key dates ox times of day — for example, whether a sidewalk or public space would be shaded at lunchtime during warmer months. S-�-I December 21st December 21st 5.4.3 SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN BUILDING DESIGN Project design and materials to achieve sustainabiliry and green building design should be incarporated into projects. Green building design considers the environment during design and construcuon and aims for compatibility with the local environment: to protect, respect and benefit from it. In general, sustainable buildings are energy efficient, water conserving, durable and nonto�c, with high-quality spaces and high recycled content matetials. The following considerations should be included in site and building design: • Resilient, durable, sustainable matexials and finishes. • Flexibility over time, to allow for re-use and adaptation. • OpYimize building orientation for heat gain, shading, daylighting, and natural ventilation. • Design landscaping to create comfortable micxo-climates and reduce heat island effects. • Design for easy pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access, and provide on-site bicycle parking. • Maxiinize on-site stormwater management tl�ough landscaping and permeable pavement. • On flat roofs, utilize cool/white roofs to miniinize heat gain. • Design lighting, plumbing, and equipment for efficient energy use. • Create healthy indoor environments. • Pursue adaptive xe-use of an existing building or porrion of a building as an alternative to demolition and rebuilding. • Use creativity and innovation to build more sustainable environments. One example is establishing gaxdens with edible fruits, vegetables or other plants as part of project open space, or pxoviding garden plots to residents for urban agriculture. To reduce carbon footprint, new projects are encouraged to follow the standards and guidelines of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gxeen Building Rating System, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and pursue LEED certification if appropriate.

S.0 Design & Character 5.4.4 LANDSCAPE TREES The City of Burlingame has a long history of proactive tree planting and proper tree care. From the late 1800's when trees were planted along El Camino Real and Easton Drive to the current day, Burlingame has enjoyed the many benefits trees provide to an urban area. Burlingame's longtime commitment to trees is evidenced by xecogni- tion as a"Txee City USA" for 30 consecuuve years. This is the longest streak in the County, �th longest in the State and one of the longest in the Countxy fox receiving this award. In Downtown Burlingame, trees include street trees linuig sidewalks and xoadways (rypically within the public right-of-way), as well as trees on private property in settings such as landscaped setback axeas, court- yards, and roof gardens. Chapter 4: Streetscapes & Open Space) provides guidance for street trees within the public right-of-way. Landscape trees on private prop- erty have equal importance as part of the "uxban foxest," in contrib- uting envixonmental and aesthetic benefits to downtown. Txees axe open space plans. important for their beaury, shade and coolness, economic benefits, and role in reducing energy use, pollution, and noise. The Ciry of Burlingame has an Uxban Forest Management Plan that includes policies and management practices for both ciry and private trees. Maintaining existing trees is a priority, and large txees on private property axe protected by Ciry Ordinance. Any tree with a circumfer- ence of 48 inches or inore when measured 54 inches above the ground is a"Protected Tree." A permit is required to remove or heavily prune a protected txee. Consistent with Burlingame's status as "Tree Ciry USA," new projects are required to incorporate trees into landscape and private open space plans. Properry owners should consult the Buxlingame Urban Forest Management Plan for design considerations, planting techniques, and maintenance guidance. �-_'G FIGURE 5-43: Consistent with Burlingame's status as "Tree City USA," new projects are requued to incorporate trees into landscape and private Project Comments Date: To: From: Subject: January 20, 2016 � Engineering Division (650) 558-7230 0 Building Division (650) 558-7260 � Parks Division (650) 558-7334 0 Fire Division (650) 558-7600 � Stormwater Division (650) 342-3727 � City Attorney (650) 558-7204 Planning Staff Request for Commercial Design Review for new service facility at 85 California Drive, zoned R-1, APN: 029-242-050 Staff Review: All previous comments have been addressed % .1lL Reviewed by: ;.f�'L� 1��� Date: January 20, 2016 Rick Caro III, CI30 650-558-7270 Project Comments Date: To: From: Subject: Staff Review: December 29, 2015 � Engineering Division (650) 558-7230 0 Building Division (650) 558-7260 � Parks Division (650) 558-7334 � Fire Division (650) 558-7600 0 Stormwater Division (650) 342-3727 0 City Attorney (650) 558-7204 Planning Staff Request for Commercial Design Review for new service facility at 85 California Drive, zoned R-1, APN: 029-242-050 1) Plans submitted for any commercial project must be designed, wet-stamped, and signed by a licensed architect. 1997 Uniform Administrative Code §302.2 and §302.3. 27) Specify the accessible path of travel from the public right of way, througll the main entrance, to the area of alteration. 28 Specify an accessible path of travel from all required exits to the public right of way. 38 Provide an exit plan showing the paths of travel NOTE: A written response to the items noted here and plans that specifically address items 1, 27, 28 & 38 must be re-submitted before this project can move forward for Planning Commission action.

These requirements are in the San Francisco Bay Region Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP)' and are described below. What Is an Impervious Surface? �`,S,y,���;�-,, . ;� �� � Rtrf�q�/�is dircrtecl lo lunc%sc•uping. An impervious surface is a surface covering or pavement of a developed parcel of land that prevents the land's natural ability to absorb and infiltrate rainfall. Impervious surfaces include, but are not limited to: rooftops, walkways, patios, driveways, parking lots, storage areas, impervious concrete and asphalt, and any other continuous watertight pavement or covering. Does Pervious Paving Count as Impervious Surface? Pervious paving, including pavers with permeable openings and seams, is not considered impervious if it is underlain with pervious soil or pervious storage material, such as a gravel layer that is sized to hold 80 percent of the average annual runoff. (This is the volume of stormwater runoff specified in Provision C3.d of the MRP.) Guidance for calculating this amount of runoff is provided in Section 5.1 of the C.3 Technical Guidance. See "For More Information", below, for information on downloading. What Are the New Requirements? Beginning December 1, 2012, applicable projects must incorporate one of the following site design measures: ■ Direct roof runoff into cisterns or rain barrcls for use. ■ Direct roof runoff onto vegetated areas. ■ Direct runoff frotn sidewalks, walkways, and/or patios onto vegetated areas. ■ Direct runoff fro►n driveways/uncovered parking lots onto vegetated areas. ■ Construct sidewalks, walkways, and/or patios with permeable surfaces.Z ■ Construct bike lanes, driveways, and/or uncovered parking lots with permeable surfaces.z For More Information Pern�eable joln! pavers nre one option for permeable surfaces.
