Summary:
The City Planner has found that use of the site at 970 David Road is not in compliance with the Conditional
Use/Special Permit granted to the site by the Planning Commission on August 22, 1994. The use permit
requested by BK Bobcat represented by Joel Beck was to allow outdoor truck storage at 970 David Roacl. The
submittal of this application was the result of code enforcement by the city attorney (Coleman letter May 2,
1994). At the time of the application the lot had been regraded, covered with gravel, was partially fenced and
had been used for two years to store trucks out-of-doors with out a permit. As a part of the use permit Mr.
Beck indicated that he would complete the fencing and add a gate at the front of the lot. Subsequent to granting
the permit (September 1994) this work was completed, as well as pouring a new curb cut to city standards.
The conditions of the original permit required that the facility would be open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Monday through Sunday with a maximum of four employees on site at any one time, that a curb cut installed
to city standards should be placed on Davis Road, and that the project would meet all the requirements of the
Uniform Building and Uniform Fire Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame. (Planning Commission
Minutes August 22, 1998, Action letter September 7, 1994).
Subsequent to granting the permit the applicant has added two storage structures (a metal shed and a shipping
container) to the site as well as a large plywood structure in which he stores and works on large equipment.
A number of months ago the applicant requested electrical service to the site. It was installed and he
commenced using it to enlarge his capabilities to work on equipment on the site. The city ordered this service
removed because the buildings on site were not permitted nor had electrical work on-site been inspected.
Further the electrical work had been performed in an unlawful structure. The work in the structure also had
not been inspected and is presumed hazardous. Since the removal of the electrical service, the applicant has
