Previous Use: Vacant lot
Proposed Use: Truck and Equipment Storage
Allowable Use: Truck storage with a special permit
Summary: The applicant, BK Bobcat, is requesting a special permit
for truck and equipment storage at 970 David Road. This narrow lot
(20' X±253' or 5,063 SF) has a PG&E easement on the east side and
industrial buildings with parking lots on the west side. The lot
has driveway access from David Road. For the past two years the
applicant and property owner have been storing trucks and equipment
at the site. The lot has been regraded with gravel and is
partially fenced. In the future, the applicant intends to complete
the fencing and add a gate at the front of the lot. This project
came to the attention of the Planning Department as a code
enforcement item (May 2, 1994 and June 23, 1994 letters from J.
Coleman to Joel Beck).
The truck storage facility is open 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday
through Sunday. The business has four part time employees and a
maximum of six visitors per day. The applicant anticipates a
maximum of two employees and visitors on site at any one time.
According to the applicant employees and visitors park on the
street. A condition of approval will state that all employees and
visitors should park on site.
History: In August, 1991 the Planning Commission reviewed an
application for a new building at this 20' X±253' site (P.C.
August 26, 1994 Minutes). A 20' X 124' structure was proposed to
store automobiles. This application required variances to side
setbacks, exiting in a backward direction, and parking; and a
special permit for indoor �nd outdoor auto storage. The Planning
1
SPSCIAL PSRXIT
970 David Road
Commission denied the application. The applicant appealed the
Planning Commission decision to the City Council. The City Council
upheld the Planning Commission decision (C.C. September 16, 1994
Minutes). The City Council felt there were too many permits and
variances required for this development on this site. They felt it
would be difficult to for city to police its use and feared that in
spite of the poor access the building and site would be used for
car repair.

1. Exp/ain why the proposed use at the proposed /ocation wi// not be detrimenta/ -or injurious to
property o� Iinprovements in the vicinity or to pub/ic hea/th, safety, genera/ we/fare, or
convenience.
How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect nei�hborinp properties or structures on those
properties7 If neighborinD properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting, paving,
(andscaping sunlipht/shade, views from neighboring properties, ease of maintenance.
Why will the structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or general welfarel
Public heslth includes such thin�s as sanitation (parbape), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater systems,
water supply safety, and things which have the poterrtial to affect public health (i.e., underground storage tanks,
st�rape of chemicals, situations which encourape the spread of rodents, insects or communicable diseasesl.
Public safetv. Ho� will the structure or use within the structu�e affect police or fire protectionl WII 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 patherinfls, loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use flammable or hazardous materials,
or potentially dan�erous activities like welding, woodwork, engine removal�.
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning commun'rty good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's policy and
goals for conservation and development7 Is there a socyal benefit7
Convenience. How would the proposed structure o� use affect public convenience (such as access to or parking for
this site or adjacent sites)1 Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as the elderly or
handicapped?
2. How wi// the proposed use be /ocated and conducted in accordance with the Bur/ingame Genera/
P/an and Zoning OrdinanceT
Ask the Planninp Department for the �eneral plan desipnation and zoning district for the proposed project site. Also
ask for an explanation of each. Once you have this i�ormation, you can compare your proposal with the stated
designated use and zoning, then ex�lain why this proposal would "fit' accordingly.
3. Ho w wi// the proposed project be compatib/e with the aesthetics, mass, bu/k and character of the
existing neighborhood and potentia/ uses on adjoining properties in the genera/ vicinityT
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhoodl If it does not affect
aesthetics, state why. If chan�es to the st�ucture are proposed, was the addition designed to match existinfl
architecture, pattern of development on adjacent properties in the neighborhood7 If a use will affect the way a
neiphborhood 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".
Hova► does the proposed structure compare to neighborin� structures in terms of mass o� bulk7 If there is no change
to structure, say so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation etc. with other
suuctures in the neighborhood o� area.
How will the structure or use within the structure chan�e the character of the neighborhoodl Think of character as
the image or tone established by size, density of devebpment and general pattern of land use. wll there be more
traffic or less parking available resulting from this usel If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change,
state why.
How will the proposed p�oject be compatible with existin� and potential uses in the pene�al vicinity7 Compare you�
project with existinp 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.

Subject: Use Permit
Dear Mr. Beck:
This is to confirm yesterday's "conversation". I understood you to
say that you needed another two weeks to prepare the documents for
the use permit. I appreciate you are busy, but it has been months
since this started. Based on the two week deadline, I wil� expect
that a complete application will be submitted to the Planning
Department by,July 6. That has to be the final deadline.

Subject: Failure to obtain use permit
Dear Mr. Beck:
re�. (4i5) 696-7207
Fqx: (415) 342-8386
In February I wrote you concerning the parking of trucks on the
property at 970 David Road. Since that time you have graveled the
area, but you have failed to apply for the necessary use permit for
this kind of business at this location. I understand that you
picked up the application forms at the Planning Department some
weeks ago, but nothing has been returned. This letter is to inform
you that unless that department receives a properly completed
application by June 15, 1994, it will be necessary for my office to
initiate appropriate legal action to enforce our ordinances.

9. SPECIAL PERMITS FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR AUTO STORAGE AND VARIANCES
�FOR PARKING AND SIDE SETBACKS FOR PARCEL APN 025-272-160 WITH A
; TEMPORARY ADDRESS OF 970 DAVID ROAD, ZONED M-1 (CONTINUED FROM
� 8/12/91)
Reference staff report, 8/26/91, with attachments. ZT Saisi reviewed
details of the request, parcel map creating this long and narrow
parcel, staff review, applicant's letter, study meeting questions,
required findings. Seven conditions were suggested for consideration
at the public hearing. She advised a landscape variance was no longer
required. Responding to a question, staff advised a chain link fence
would be acceptable under Condition #3.
Chm. Mink opened the public hearing. Stephen Segale, applicant, was
present. He noted this is an unusual lot, long and narrow, he will
keep three to four cars there, not in and out every day, he just needs
the storage area; he is a carpenter working normal daytime hours; no
auto restoration work will be done on site. There were no audience
comments and the public hearing was closed.
C. Deal stated he would abstain from discussion and voting. Commission
discussion/comment: cannot vote for this project, applicant may use it
for storage now but in the future any use will need variances, it
doesn't have on-site parking, it is ridiculous to put 370 SF of
landscaping in the back of a building which has a roll-up door, this
proposal is not in the best interest of that area nor is a building on
this site. Agree with these comments; why two handicap restrooms if
there is no commercial activity proposed for the site; it is difficult
to believe applicant would not use this good storage facility for some
tinkering on his cars, cars always require something.
Further comment: agree with the previous comments but am compelled to
come to the opposite conclusion, who created this situation, the real
issue at this point is what are the options; the city permitted this
division and now there is a property owner who wants to develop his
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 5
August 26, 1991
site, this is as simple a project and about the only type of project
this property could support; if the city doesn't feel the property
should support any project then the city should step in, take it over
and relieve the property owner of the burden; if the city is not
prepared to do this it should look at the merits of the proposal, do
not think there is anything else that can be put on this property from
a commercial standpoint. Another comment: this parcel was split off to
complement and add on to others, the other property owners do not want
this parcel at least at this time; if property owner and applicant want
to build on an M-1 lot of these dimensions they should meet code, an
architect can always find a way to do so.
C. Jacobs moved for denial of the special permits and variances for
this project with the statement this is not what the parcel was divided
for, Commission should look toward the future and think in terms of the
whole area. Motion was seconded by C. Graham who commented that
Commission has not heard from the property owner and what he has done
to attempt to lease this space. Comment on the motion: it is
unfortunate that this piece of property exists, the type of use
proposed is perhaps one of the few uses which could go in there; have
a problem with the design, it could be better and less objectionable,
there could be more landscaping in front; handicap restrooms are
probably a building code requirement; upholding the conditions
suggested by staff is going to be difficult.
Motion to deny was approved on a 4-1-1, roll call vote, C. Galligan
voting no, C. Deal abstaining, C. Kelly absent. Appeal procedures were
advised.

between this building and the adjacent building; he said the
project meets all requirements of building code except for pre-
existinq conditions over which they have no control; he submitted
a letter from lo adjacent property owners who had no objection to
the project and reviewed findings council could make to approve
the project; the addition cannot be seen from the stree� because
you would have to stand 198 feet from the front of the building
to see the roof line of the proposed addition; he r�quested
approva l . /��
Mayor Barton closed the public hearing. �
Councilwoman o�Mahony reviewed the encroachm� t of this building
and the addition into the rear setback and�.�n area on the
addition that projects into the setback. i'
Councilman Harrison said he was impres ed with Freer's letter and
presentation and his points are well �ken, the lot coverage
already exists and it is easier to �ild a second story over the
existing walls, he supported appro�dal of the project.
Councilman Pagliaro said he,walk�d through the neighborhood and
did not feel this addition wvuld be compatible with the area;
there are almost no second s b�ies to be seen; because it is not
compatible and because of th� npnconforming lot coverage, he
could not support approvalJ '.
Mayor Barton asked aboutl�the dupleic�next door which also seems to
be nonconforming; City �lanner said �t was a mirror image of this
buildinq and it appea� they vere bui�t at same time on one lot;
later the lot was sg3it to make two separate properties, this may
also explain the narrow street frontage \ Mayor Barton said if
council allows th�s expansion to a noncori�orming use, the
buildinq next dgt�r could do the same; she ldid not think there was
enough space f f parking in this impacted a�ea and could not
support the p�ject. �_
Councilwomati O'Mahony said council encourages p3�eperty owners'
improveme , but she was greatly concerned about he existing 47
percent ot coverage; if the building were destro� d it could be
rebuilt to greater density; Freer has done his best�to keep the
addit' n small but because of the density and the pa�king she
coul not favor approval. �

PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL FOR SPECSAL PERMITS AND VARZANCES FOR
DE�7ELOPMENT OF PARCEL AT 970 DAVID ROAD - DENIED
�i ��
� CiEy Planner reviewed her memo of September 11 which recommended
" council hold a public hearinq and take action. Stephen Segale,
applicant, Dennis Cheng, property owner, and Jerry Deal,
designer, are requesting two special permits and three variances
fn order to build a structure on the 20 foot by 225.5 foot vacant
lot at 970 David Road (temporary address) in the M-1 zone. The
applicant proposes to build a 20 foot wide by 124 foot long
structure in order to store his own automobiles. As proposed,
the structure would provide no side setbacks (10 foot setback
required), no on-site parking (3 spaces required) and no ability
to exit in a forward direction in a commercial zone (required).
Special permits are required for indoor, and for outdoor auto
storage in M-1. In developing the site, they would provide two
handicapped accessible bathrooms as required by building code.
Also 455 square feet of landscapinq would be provided (451 square
feet required), there would be 85 square feet of landscaping in
the front setback and 370 square feet at the rear. The Planning
Commission voted to deny the request.
City Council M¶nutes
September 16, 1991
Mayor Barton opened the public hearing.
Tom Ryan, friend of the applicant, introduced the applicant,
Stephen Segale, and property owner, Dennis Cheng; Cheng said he
has been trying to sell the property and there has been no
interest until Segale proposed this storage facility; he
contacted the broker of the adjacent property when it was for
sale to attempt to sell his property to the adjacent one as it
makes sense to develop the two lots together. Councilwoman
O'Mahony asked if he had contacted the property owner to the east
(PG&E); owner said no, but he thought it was a good idea.
Ryan continued that the main issue is the narrowness of the lot;
a 20 foot wide lot cannot have any side setbacks; he reviewed
history of lot's creation, it was a railroad spur, part was
purchased separately and part was bought by adjacent property
owners; Segale�s proposal seems the only good use of the lot; the
handicap restrooms are required by building code for a building
of this size, it does not mean Segale proposes some commercial
use; there will be parking inside the building and at the rear;
Segale intends to store his auto collection at the site, he has
four vintage 1950 autos, he does not intend to sell or repair
autos on the site; he noted the Planning Commission's discussion
about landscaping at the rear being ridiculous, that not beinq
the intent of landscaping requirements; they appealed because
they think the decision is unfair because this proposal is the
best use of the property since it cannot be sold to the neighbor;
the Planning Commission seemed to think the property should be
sold to a neighbor and that is the only use they would consider.
Councilman Pagliaro said he drove to the site and passed it
before he realized it; he looked at plans and wondered why Segale
needs a buildinq 124 feet long to store four autos; he also did
not understand the need for roll up doors at the rear of the
buildinq and the paved rear yard if storage is only inside, where
is the parkinq on site for visitor; he asked why not move the
building to the rear and put parking and landscaping in front,
and eliminate the roll up doors at rear. Segale responded that
the building is required to be located there because of fire code
requirements, it can't be more than 150 feet from front of a lot
and they must have access all the way around the building; he
could live with smaller building but it would be harder to sell.
Pagliaro asked if Segale would object to eliminating the roll up
door in back; Segale said he put that door there so that perhaps
a contractor could purchase building and use rear lot for
storage. Councilman Pagliaro asked if Segale objected to a
requirement that the walls be solid slab, Segale said no.
Councilwoman O'Mahony suggested Segale put in regular man door
rather than roll up door at rear.
Mayor Barton asked when Cheng purchased the site; Cheng replied
about three years ago, when he purchased he hoped to sell to
neighbor. Cheng said he had an agreement with Segale for
purchase of the lot conditional on Segale getting these permits.
Segale said he agreed to all the conditions proposed.
Betty O'Kelly, 1352 Drake, had some reservations about this use,
she wondered why anyone would buy a lot and build a building to
store four cars, she thought it was not a good idea.
Mayor Barton closed the public hearing.
Councilman Harrison confirmed that condition 2 required no person
be on site other than between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., it could be read
that no cars are allowed on site between those hours also;
Councilwoman O'Mahony informed the audience that there are
several car clubs in the city that allow storaqe of autos.
Mayor Barton said there are too many permits and variances needed
for this project; the buildinq is too long; she believed there
were other ways the site could be developed; if this is allowed
it would be difficult for the city to police its use; she feared
in the future it would be used for car repair; there is no room
for parking or car turn around; the real estate market is tough
right now and the owner has only had it on the narket for six
- ;✓
j/ '
� months; she agreed entirely with the Planning Commission; she
felt council would really go out on a limb if it approved this.
Councilman Paqliaro moved to overturn the Planning Commission and
