Proposed Use: Peet's Coffee and Tea Allowable Use: Retail sales and service Summary: The applicant, Peet's Coffee and Tea, is requesting special permits for take-out for the sale of brewed coffee and tea in a food establishment at a new location at 1309 Burlingame Avenue. The previous use of this site was the Burlingame Drug Company. The applicants are transferring the food establishment designation from Family Favorites Bakery, 256 Lorton Avenue to 1309 Burlingame Avenue (letter dated May 4, 1994). The applicant states in the application materials that the primary function of this business is to sell at retail coffee beans and tea, by the bag, and brewing hardware. The food establishment designation allows Peet's Coffee and Tea to provide 8 stools and a counter at the front of the store (see Floor Plan dated May 6, 1994, Sheet A1). The hours of operation are proposed as 6:00 A.M. to 7: 00 P.M. , Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. on Saturday and 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Sunday.

PROPOSED ERISTING ALLOWEDJREO'D No changes are being proposed to the structure. Staff Comments• The Chief Building Official stated in his May 9, 1994 memo that if four or more employees work at once male and female restrooms are required. The restrooms must be accessible to the physically disabled. The City Engineer stated in his May 9, 1994 memo that the applicant shall police the area within a 100' radius of the business--and trash receptacles must be approved by the City Engineer and shall be installed and maintained by the applicant. The Fire Marshal had no comments. Study Meetinq: At the May 23, 1994 Planning Commission meeting the Commissioners had several questions (P.C. Minutes May 23, 1994). Food establishment is defined in the zoning code as "a business which sells any kind of food or drink at retail and which contains any customer seating�� (C.S. 25.08.268). In contrast take-out service "means a feature or characteristic of eating and drinking services, including fast food restaurants, delicatessens and other similar food services where food is pre-prepared or rapidly prepared, primarily for consumption off the premises, and which encourages and allows consumption of food and beverages outside of a building , such as in outdoor seating areas where regular table service is not provided, in vehicles parked on the premises or off the site" (C.S. 25.08.645). This application is requesting both types of situations. The City Attorney stated that the city has no laws that would restrict the type of food served at a food establishment. The project architect states in his May 31, 1994 response letter that the area noted " not for leasing" is the adjacent tenants restrooms which are accessed from that tenant space. That area is not a part of this application. The response letter outlines that male and female, disabled accessible restrooms will be provided as discussed with the Chief Building Official and trash receptacles will be placed at the front and rear entries to the building. The seismic retrofit is currently in progress and Peet's expects that this work will be completed prior to the start of tenant improvements. 2 TAKS—OOT PBRXIT NF'sW FOOD SSTABLISSXSXT 1309 BURLINGAXS AVSXUB Peet's Coffee and Tea has expressed an interest in having outdoor seating. They will apply for the appropriate permission from the Engineering Department. Two letters in support have been received. Gary Cohn, realtor for Peet's Coffee, submitted a letter dated May 26, 1994. In this letter he states on behalf of Peet's Coffee and Tea that the Planning Commission take two separate actions, one on the new food establishment and one on the take-out permit. If one request is denied they don't want to see the other request be denied by association. The second letter from Mark Horton at Bon Appetit, 1325 Burlingame Avenue, supports the project and feels that it will strengthen business on the avenue. Required Findinqs for a special Permit: - � In order to grant a Special Permit the Planning Commission must f ind that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020 a-c): (a) the proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience; (b) the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general plan and the purposes of this title; (c) the Planning Commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. Planninq Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action should be taken by resolution. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated. At the public hearing the following condition should be considered: Conditions: l. that the project shall be designated a food establishment and shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped, May 5, 1994 Site Plan and Floor Plan; 2. that Peet's Coffee and Tea shall be open 6:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.

The area noted "not for leasing" on the Site Plan is currently leased by the adjacent tenant and is not a part of the work proposed. 2. As requested by the City of Burlingame at the 4 May staff ineeting, separate-sex restrooms, both handicap accessible, are planned. We have talked with Fred Cullum, the building official, and are investigating options for accommodating the requirements. 3. The seismic retrofit is currently underway by the building's owner. We expect the work will be completed during June, and prior to the start of tenant improvements r�y Feet's Coffee & Tea. 4. Trash receptacles will be placed at the front and rear of the store, to serve both exits. Peet's will be vigilant in fulfilling the expectations of the City and Peet's' neighbors in managing its trash. 5. Peet's would like to make use of permitted outdoor seating. Three benches will allow customers to enjoy their coffee outdoors on pleasant days. Permission for seating within the public right of way will be applied for through the Department of Engineering. �. � <<3s� s,,s�.;�, ��,�.. .".'a�hinyt.x, qn�, .. , . , _ , _�,` , � Leah Dreger/Burlingame Planning Dept Page 2 31 May 1994 6.

When the City of Burlingame Planning Commission considers Peet's use permit application on June 13, 1994 please have them consider this application as an application for two separate permits. (Two permits are technically being requested, one for a take-out permit and one for a restaurant use permit). Therefore please have the commission make two separate votes when voting on Peet's current application, (i.e. one vote for a take-out permit and another vote on a restaurant use permit). Thank you for all your help and assistance in this matter. Sincerely, G y ohn cc: Carol Gilbert, CGI.

Peet'e Coffee & Tea is a stable, 28-year-old, Say Area company that specializes in the retail sale of coffee beans and teae and hardware for home brewing of theee beveraqea. Freshly brewed coffeea and teas are available for takeout, as a courteay tv customers. Approximately 75 percent of eales are from the retail component (principally whole bean coffees), and 25 percent are from beveragea. Unlike many competitors, Peet's has always focused the businese on retail eale of superior coffee beans roaeted in the Bay Area. The design and appearance of the etore will reinforce its character as calm, enduring neighborhood retail buainess, rather than a crowded restaurant. the a Peet's stores draw pedestrian traffic irom the eurrounding neighborhoods and offer extended ehoppinq convenience to the district. Consequently, Peet's stores have nominal impacte on traffic and parking. Bean deliveries will be made once each day at the rear alley service door, and other aupply deliveries are made lese frequently. The project will not be detrimental to public safety, will not create a nuisance or demand for law enforcement or fire protection eervices. All our stores are eqvipped with security alarm eystems. No hazardous materials, peste, or waste concerns will be introduced. Peet's is careful to contain any waste generated by the operation. The atore will be accessible as required by Title 24. How will tha propoaed u�e be located aad conducted in accordance with the Burliagame Oenaral Plan and Zoning Ordittanco7 The site that we would like to occupy is listed in the General Plan Designation ae Retail and Service commercial, zoned as C1 Burlingame Avenue Dietrict, Sub Area A. our uae for this eite will be maintained ae retail, which ie entirely conaistent with the General Plan. Peet's primarily serves neighborhood residents, and employees and patrone of other neighborhood buainesaea. As such it ie coneiatent and compatible with the existi.ng surrounding busineaees and residential areas, and will not impair the integrity of the zoning district. Peet's will eneure this long-term compatibility with the qoals of the General Plan by the way the company traditionally conducts itself in the neighborhoode it serves. Peet's has always been community-oriented. It has an active recycling program and employees are vigilant in patroling for trash throughout the day. Store managera are charged to reapond appropriately to any complainte from neighborhood residents. AttBChment, Special Permit Application Peet's Coffee & Tea, 1309 Burlingame Avenue Page 2 3. Hoa will th• proposed use be coppatible with tha aasthetics, mass, bulk, and character of the axisting and poteatial usea on adjoinfng properties in the general vicinity7 The proposed tenant improvement will not alter the exieting building maes. The exieting etorefront blends well with the atreetscape and will be maintained. The character of the neighborhood will be enhanced by the proposed use, which contributes a superior product to the shopping etreet. Peet's stores are conaistent with the quality of their producte, and will be a match for the high quality of neighboring businessee on � Burlingame Avenue.

The property owner of 256 Lorton Avenue, where Family Favorites Bakery is located, is willing to transfer their "customer seating rights" to Peet's Coffee & Tea. Their letter is enclosed. The vast majority of Peet's' sales are of coffee beans for home use, rather than coffee beverages for take-out or on-site consumption. As a convenience to the customers who wish to purchase a cup of coffee and drink it on-site, we would like to be able to offer a few stools and a small counter area where patrons can relax for a moment while they drink their coffee. We foresee only a nominal increase in the total number of customers and employees expected in the store at any one time. We will probably make minor changes to the storefront entry location to provide not only a nicer appearance, but also easier access and circulation, especially for customers with strollers or wheelchairs. We are grateful for your attention to this request, and will be pleased to supply any further information you may require.
