Applicant and Property Owner: Jerry Zakatchenko Designer: Su-ling Slaton, SLC Design General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 029-272-080 Lot Area: 7,500 SF Zoning: R-1 Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (e), which states that construction or conversion of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences is exempt from environmental review. Project Description: The subject property contains an existing single family dwelling (1,993 SF, includes covered porches), a detached storage building (653 SF) in poor condition and a small metal storage shed. Currently, there is no covered parking on site. This application includes replacing the existing detached storage building with one new accessory structure, which will contain a 365 SF detached garage and a 638 SF accessory dwelling unit (ADU) located in the rear, left corner of the property. Per State law, review of the ADU application is administrative only and is not reviewed by the Planning Commission. Staff has reviewed the design of the ADU and has determined that it complies with the City's Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance requirements (Chapter 25.59). The ordinance includes a number of performance standards, including the requirement that the ADU shall incorporate the same or similar architectural features and building materials as the primary dwelling located on the property. Furthermore, an application which solely consists of a new accessory structure on a property is not subject to Design Review. Planning Staff would further note an applicant can choose the option of an ADU design that may require one or more Conditional Use Permits listed in Chapter 25.60. With this application, the applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for windows located within 10'-0" of property line (Code Section 25.60.010 (i)). There are three windows proposed along the rear wall of the ADU, located 4'-7" from the rear property line fence. In addition to the existing rear property line fence, the applicant is proposing to plant a Pittosporum hedge between the ADU and the rear property line fence to help screen the accessory structure and windows. There are no proposed changes to the existing four-bedroom house. Two off-street parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on-site for the main dwelling. The existing off-street parking is nonconforming since there is no covered parking provided on site. With this application, a code-compliant covered parking space (10' x 20' clear interior dimensions) will be provided in the new detached garage; one uncovered parking space is provided in the driveway. No additional off-street parking is required for the ADU since it is located within one-half mile of the Burlingame Caltrain Station. The applicant is requesting the following application: ■ Conditional Use Permit for windows within 10'-0" of property line in a new detached accessory structure approved for use as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (C.S. 25.60.010 (i)).
