Your revised request for a Hillside Area Construction Permit and Minor Modification was reviewed by
property owners within 100 feet, fhe Planning Commission and the City Council. Since there was no
appeal, a Revised Hillside Area Construction Permit and Minor Modification to add an 854 SF
addition off the rear of the first floor of the house (5'-0" from the left side property line existing and
proposed, where 7'-0" is required) at 2645 Trousdale Drive, zoned R-1, was approved effective May
15, 2012. The project must be consistent with the plans submitted to the Planning Department and
date stamped April 11, 2012. Any changes to these plans shall be subject to further Hillside Area
Construction Permit and Minor Modification revision procedures.
The Minor Modification was approved based on the following findings:
that the proposed addition complies with lot coverage, floor area ratio, height and afl
other current development requirements, and therefore would be compatible with the
mass and bulk of adjacenfi properties and the neighborhood; and
2. that the plate height, roof pitch, and finish of the proposed addition will match the existing
house, and therefore would be compatible with the aesthetics and character of the
existing structure; and
3. the proposed project meets all other zoning code requirements and the construction will
meet the requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes, 2007 Edition as
amended by the City of Burlingame; therefore will not be detrimental to public health,
safety or welfare.
All site improvements and construction work will require separate application to the Building
Department. This approval is valid for one year during which time a building permit must be
issued. One extension of up to one year may be considered by the Planning Commission if
application is made before the end of the first year.
Sincerely;

REVISED REQUEST FOR A HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION
PERMIT AND MINOR MODIFICATION
Dear Property Owner,
The Burlingame Planning Department has received a revised application for a Hiliside Area Construction
Permit and Minor Modification at the following address:
2645 Trousdale Drive
APN: 025-082-050
REVISED APPLICATION FOR A HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND MINOR
MODIFICATION PERMIT TO ADD AN 854 SF MASTER BEDROOM ADDITION OFF THE REAR OF THE
FIRST FLOOR OF THE HOUSE AT 2645 TROUSDALE DRIVE, ZONED R-1. The applicant is revising a
request to add a master bedroom addition off the rear of the first floor of the house for a total of an 854 SF
addition. The Minor Modification Permit was required to extend the existing non-conforming first floor wall
of the addition along the left side of the house at the rear (5'-0" from the left side property line existing and
proposed, where 7'-0" is required). The proposed addition conforms to all other zoning requirements in the
R-1 zoning district.
The previous request included a flat roof area between the existing house and the master bedroom
addition; but because this flat roof was not structurally possible, the flat roof has been revised to include a
3:12 pitch, which is consistent with the rest of the addition. This change resulted in the resubmittal of this
revised request.
Your property is located within 100 feet of this property. A Hillside Area Construction Permit and Minor
Modification have been requested to allow this addition based on Municipal Code Section 25.61. Any
noticed property owner may call this item up for additional review. If you would like to request that this
project be reviewed, which includes a public hearing, you should submit a written and signed
request to the Community Development Director within seven days of the postmark on this letter.
Copies of the site plan and revised building elevations are enclosed for your review.
Unless review of the application is requested it shall be determined that the placement of the proposed
construction shall not have a substantial impact on the adjacent properties or on the character of the
neighborhood and that the Hillside Area Construction Permit and Minor Modification shall be approved
based upon the following findings:
that the proposed addition complies with lot coverage, floor area ratio, height and all other
current development requirements, and therefore would be compatible with the mass and bulk
of adjacent properties and the neighborhood; and
that the plate height, roof pitch, and finish of the proposed addition will match the existing
house, and therefore would be compatible with the aesthetics and character of the existing
structure; and
3. the proposed project meets all other zoning code requirements and the construction will meet
the requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes, 2007 Edition as amended by the
City of Burlingame; therefore will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare.
If you have any questions regarding this proposal, the review process, or you would like to see the full size
plans, please call the Planning Department at (650) 558-7250.
