Summary: An application for Commercial Design Review for changes to the exterior farade of an existing commercial building and Conditional Use Permit for a new full service food establishment (Piueria Delfina) at 1444 Burlingame Avenue was approved by the Planning Commission on December 10, 2012. On March 25, 2013, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved an application for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment for changes to the originally approved new full service food establishment that included enlarging the seating area on the mezzanine level by 91 SF and removing the exterior staircase at the rear of the building (March 25, 2013, Planning Commission Minutes attached). A building permit was issued on July 26, 2013 and construction is underway. The project designer is now requesting an FYI to enlarge the dimensions and change the shape of the originally approved concrete tile wainscoting along the front building elevation. The location and total area of concrete tile will not change with this revised proposal. The designer submitted a letter accompanied with the previously approved and proposed front building elevations, date stamped October 2, 2013, to explain the proposed change to the previously approved Commercial Design Review project. Other than the proposed revision listed above, there are no other changes proposed to the design of the building. Planning staff regards the proposed revision described above as relatively minor, and has designated the project to be reviewed by the Commission as an FYI item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to the applicant.

Our approved permit depicts a facade tile with a 4" x 4" dimension. We are proposing to change this to a 10'" x 24" tile dimension oriented in a landscape format. We have found a local company that makes custom concrete tile, and through correspondence with this company the dimensions for the front facade tile were altered due to availability and installation concerns.
