' City of Burlingame Design Review for First and Second Story Addition Item # 3b Consent Calendar Address: 1109 Bernal Avenue Meeting Date: 12/11/00 Request: Design review for first and second floor addition to an existing single story residence at 1109 Bernal Avenue, zoned R-1 (C.S. 25.57.010). Applicant and Property Owner: Catherine Shiu Designer: JD & Associates Lot Area: 6,000 SF APN: 026-183-120 General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15303- Class 3- construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including (a) single-family residences not in conjunction with the building of two or more such units. In urbanized areas, up to three single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this exemption. Summary: The applicailt is requesting design review for a first and second story addition to an existing single-story house. The proposed additions include 8 SF to the first floor and 1,070 SF for a second floor. The floor area of the proposed residence totals 3,409 SF (.57 FAR) where 3,420 SF (.57 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The number of bedrooms will increase from three to four, which requires a single-car garage. The existing garage has interior dimensions of 11'-4" x 17'-8" with a 2'-0" overhang where 10'-0" x 20'-0" is required. If a two-car garage is needed in the future, it would require the addition of 136 SF and a FAR variance. All other zoning code requirements have been met. Staff Comments: See attached.

Minutes). The Planning Commission noted there are no physical conditions to justify the parking variance and asked if the six inch rise could be eliminated to make parking meet code requirements. The Commission also suggested the wood siding on the front of the house should be repeated elsewhere in the design or removed entirely and replaced with stucco. The Commission recommended that this item be placed on the consent calendar provided the issues noted were addressed. The applicant has submitted revised sheets 1 and 6, date stamped November 29, 2000, with the following changes: the 0'-6" rise in the garage will be removed in order to eliminate the parking variance the existing wood siding at the front of the house will be removed and replaced with stucco to match existing Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on Apri120, 1998 are outlined as follows: 1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. � Design Review for First and Second Story Addition 1109 Bernal Avenue Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's November 27, 2000, preliminary study session for the project, the project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review guidelines. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action should be by resolution and include findings for design review, and the reasons for any action should be clearly stated. At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered: 1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date stamped November 3, 2000, sheets 2-5 and 7, and date stamped November 29, 2000, sheets 1 and 6, showing removal of the 0'-6" rise in the garage floor, and that any changes to the footprint or floor area of the building shall require and amendment to this permit; 2. that any changes to the size or envelope of the first or second floors, which would include adding or enlarging a dormer(s), moving or changing windows and architectural features or changing the roof height or pitch, shall be subject to design review; 3. that if at any time in the future the residential structure is further enlarged or remodeled to require two covered parking spaces, a floor area ratio variance may be required; 4. that the City Engineer's October 10, 2000, memo shall be met; and 5. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building Code and California Fire Code, 1998 edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.

Deal noted that he had a business relationship with the applicant and would abstain from this project. He stepped down from the dais. ZT Lewit summarized the project . Commission asked staff about the 6 inch rise within the garage which resulted in the shortened depth for parking, could it be removed. Staff suggested that the applicant address this. Chairman Lurzuriaga opened the public comment. Catherine Shiu, property owner, represented the project. She was available to answer questions. Commissioners commented on the design: should explore solutions to the 6 inch rise within the parking area of the garage and eliminate exception; the wood siding on the front should be repeated on the other sides of the building or removed and replaced with all stucco. There were no further comments from the floor and the public comment was closed. ` ' Commission discussion: design is OK but want to removed parking variance, level garage floor, if can do that it could go on the consent calendar; applicant could address problem and suggest resolution, could advertise for variance so if change is not possible could still be acted on. C. Keighran moved to place this project on the consent calendar at the December 11, 2000, meeting with corrections to eliminate the parking variance. The motion was seconded by C. Vistica. Chairman Luzuriaga called for a voice vote on the motion to refer to the consent calendar without a parking variance. The motion passed 5-0-1-1 ( C. Deal abstaining, C. Dreiling absent).
