Conditional Use Permit for a Full-Service Food Establishment
and Commercial Design Review
Address: 1465 Burlingame Avenue
Meeting Date: November 13, 2017
Request: Application for Conditional Use Permit for a full-service food establishment and Commercial Design
Review for changes to the fa�ades of an existing commercial building.
Applicant: Chef & The Butcher, Josh Stumpf APN: 029-201-040
Architect: William Duff Architects, Chris Telles Lot Area: 6,250 SF
Property Owner: Mengshi Shen Zoning: BAC
General Plan: Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan: Burlingame Avenue Commercial District
Previous Use: Personal Service (hair salon- Secrets of Medusa, currently vacant)
Proposed Use: Full service food establishment with retail sales
Allowable Use: Full service food establishment with approval of a Conditional Use Permit
Summary: The subject property contains a finro-story building that fronts Burlingame Avenue with two retail
spaces (1461 & 1465) and abuts Fox Plaza Lane at the rear. At 1461 Burlingame Avenue (space on the left)
there is currently a salon and the subject tenant space at 1465 (right) is vacant, but was formerly occupied by
another salon. The tenant space is approximately 2,700 SF with an 800 SF meuanine and also includes a rear
portion of the building that is a catering business. A stand-alone catering kitchen is currently not a permitted or
conditional use in the Burlingame Avenue Commercial District, howeverthe kitchen has operated for manyyears
as a non-conforming use at this location. There are a total of 6 parking spaces (3 tandem) located off of Fox
Plaza Lane that are located on the subject property. Two of the spaces are used by the salon at 1461
Burlingame Avenue and 4 of the spaces are used by 1465 Burlingame Avenue.
The applicant, Josh Stumpf representing the Chef and The Butcher, is proposing to operate a full service food
establishment at 1465 Burlingame Avenue, zoned BAC. The proposed restaurant would be open for lunch and
dinner and would operate with an artisan butcher counter as an accessory retail use. The restaurant would be a
dine-in food establishment focusing on barbeque-style grass fed, sustainable meats used to create comfort
foods including sandwiches and salads paired with craft beers and local wines. The restaurant would operate
seven days a week and would be open from 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
As part of the food establishment the applicant is proposing an accessory artisan butcher shop to be located
within the front portion of the restaurant along Burlingame Avenue. The butcher shop would be approximately 90
SF and would sell a variety of types and cuts of grass fed, sustained meats along either company made spices,
rubs, sauces and marinades for sale to customers and the general public. In addition, the rear portion of the
tenant spaces, along Fox Plaza Lane, would be part of the Chef & The Butcher and would be used as the
primary production kitchen and would also operate as a catering kitchen for the Chef & The Butcher. The
applicant notes that the catering kitchen would account for approximately 25-35% of the restaurant sales. As
with other restaurants operating in Burlingame take out/delivery meals would be provided by third party delivery
services such as Door Dash, Grub Hub and Postmates. The proposed restaurant would not provide on-site or
delivery catering but would be providing large volume orders to be picked up by customers for parties, weddings
and corporate and private events.
The tenant space would contain a retail butcher counter, customer seating on the ground floor and on the
mezzanine, a kitchen, a small office on the mezzanine as well as back of house area and restrooms. The rear
portion of the building that is used as a catering kitchen would be remodeled with the walk-in cooler removed
and the area slightly expanded to provide a gas-fired wood burning smokers. The proposed food establishment
will have approximately 850 SF of customer seating (550 SF on the meuanine + 300 SF on the ground floor).
While the mezzanine would primary be utilized for as a customer dining area the mezzanine would also contain a
I�_

77 SF office space as well as 236 SF of storage area.
A full-service food establishment is defined as a business which sells food prepared indoors on the premise with
a full menu and provides an indoor seating area of at least two hundred fifty (250) square feet. Such businesses
may provide for the sale of alcoholic beverages as an accessory and secondary use. Operating criteria to define
a full-service food establishment include most or all of the following: served by waiters to seated customers and
where payment is made at the end of the meal; presence of a full commercial kitchen and commercial
dishwasher; and food is served on ceramic plates with metal flatware and cloth napkins. The proposed food
establishment meets most of these operating criteria. Please refer to the applicant's letter, dated October 10,
2017, for a description of the proposed business operation.
When the business opens, there would be up to ten full-time and up to five part-time employees. In five years,
the number of employees is expected to increase to twenty full-time and ten part-time employees. The applicant
projects a maximum of approximately 99 people expected on site at any one time, including the owner,
employees and customers. The following applications are required:
■ Conditional Use Permit for a new full-service food service food establishment in the BAC Zoning District
(CS 25.32.070 (b) (2)); and
■ Commercial Design Review for changes to the fa�ades of an existing commercial building in the BAC
Zoning District (CS 25.32.045 (b)).
Commercial Design Review: With this application, minor changes are proposed to the front, the bulk of the
changes are proposed on the rear portion of the building and would impact the rear, east and west elevations.
This project is subject to Commercial Design Review because it includes changes to the fa�ade of a commercial
building located within the BAC zoning district. Design Review includes changes to any fa�ade faming a public
or private street or parking lot.
The front of the building contains an angled storefront with brick planters, steel framed wood trim windows,
stucco siding and a clay barrel tiled roof. With this application, the front fa�ade would remain relatively the same
except for new wood benches added at the planters and signage (which is not subject to Design Review). The
The rear portion of the building that is used as a catering kitchen would have the most significant change,
specifically the east elevation with the walk-in cooler removed and the foot print of the cooler would be enlarged
to house two barbeque smokers along with a wood storage area. This area would be enclosed with a steel
framed structure (enclosure) with steel mesh/grate panel walls that would allow for visibility. A trash enclosure
structure would be constructed along the east side with new steel exterior double doors. The existing aluminum
skylights would remain in the same location and would be replaced with new skylights. The stucco finish would
remain on the west facing elevations. The existing steel framed windows at the rear of the mezzanine level,
along the rear, south facing elevation would remain.
Off-Street Parking: There are currently six (3 tandem) parking spaces provided at the rear of the building,
access from Fox Plaza Lane. Two of those spaces are dedicated for use by the tenant (salon) at 1461
Burlingame Avenue and four of the spaces are for use by 1465 Burlingame Avenue.
As per Code Section 25.70.090, retail, personal service and food establishment uses on the first floor in the BAC
zoning district, are exempt from vehicle parking requirements. However, the mezzanine is not included in the
exemption and staff calculated the existing and proposed uses for this 800 SF area. The previous use of the
space required 3 off-street parking spaces where 4 spaces are provided; with the proposed restaurant the use of
the mezzanine has a parking requirement of 4 off-street spaces. While non-conforming because the 4 on-site
spaces are provided in tandem, the site meets this parking requirement. However, given the upgrades proposed
to the property, the applicant will be required to comply with current ADA requirements, which include parking,
therefore finro of the four spaces currently used for the tenant space at 1465 Burlingame Avenue will be required
�

to be converted to be accessible parking spaces. A variance is not required due to the loss of the spaces
required to provide accessible parking spaces, and the proposed use is considered to comply with the parking
requirements for the proposed use.

Required Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Permit for a limited food
service food establishment, the Planning Commission must find 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.
1465 Burlingame Avenue
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for Commercial Design Review as established in Ordinance No. 1652
adopted by the Council on April 16, 2001 are outlined as follows:
1. Support of the pattern of diverse architectural styles that characterize the city's commercial areas;
2. Respect and promotion of pedestrian activity by placement of buildings to maximize commercial use of
the street frontage, off-street public spaces, and by locating parking so that it does not dominate street
frontages;
3. On visually prominent and gateway sites, whether the design fits the site and is compatible with the
surrounding development;
4. Compatibility of the architecture with the mass, bulk, scale, and existing materials of existing
development and compatibility with transitions where changes in land use occur nearby;
5. Architectural design consistency by using a single architectural style on the site that is consistent among
primary elements of the structure, restores or retains existing or significant original architectural features,
and is compatible in mass and bulk with other structure in the immediate area; and
6. Provision of site features such as fencing, landscaping, and pedestrian circulation that enriches the
existing opportunities of the commercial neighborhood.

Conditional Use Permit and Commercial Design Review 1465 Burlingame Avenue
Required Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In orderto grant a Conditional Use Permit for a limited food
service food establishment, the Planning Commission must find 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.
Suggested Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: The proposed full service food establishment use will not
be detrimental to the city's objective of promoting pedestrian oriented retail activity in this commercial area and
therefore will be in compliance with the general plan for the area; and since the business shall be required to
comply with all the City regulations including providing trash receptacles and litter maintenance in the
surrounding area, signage, meeting building code requirements, and adhering to County health requirements,
the operation will be compatible with the public's health and safety as well as with the character of the
commercial area.
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for Commercial Design Review as established in Ordinance No. 1652
adopted by the Council on April 16, 2001 are outlined as follows:
1. Support of the pattern of diverse architectural styles that characterize the city's commercial areas;
2. Respect and promotion of pedestrian activity by placement of buildings to maximize commercial use of
the street frontage, off-street public spaces, and by locating parking so that it does not dominate street
frontages;
3. On visually prominent and gateway sites, whether the design fits the site and is compatible with the
surrounding development;
4. Compatibility of the architecture with the mass, bulk, scale, and existing materials of existing
development and compatibility with transitions where changes in land use occur nearby;
5. Architectural design consistency by using a single architectural style on the site that is consistent among
primary elements of the structure, restores or retains existing or significant original architectural features,
and is compatible in mass and bulk with other structure in the immediate area; and
6. Provision of site features such as fencing, landscaping, and pedestrian circulation that enriches the
existing opportunities of the commercial neighborhood.
Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the front elevation will stay remain relatively the same except
for new wood benches added at the planters and that the rear portion of the building along Fox Plaza Lane will
be improved so that it is integrated as part of the existing building/use, given that the current use as a catering
kitchen that currently operates independent of the use at the front of the building. The east elevation will have a
new steel framed enclosure with steel mesh/grate to allow some visibility into the new smokers for the proposed
4
Conditional Use Permit and Commercial Design Review 1465 Burlingame Avenue
restaurant. The new steel framed enclosure will screen the exhaust fans that are required for the new smokers.
The south and west elevations will remain with stucco finished walls, but will be painted to match the rest of the
building improvements. The existing aluminum skylights will remain in the same location and will be replaced
with new skylights. These improvements will help to clean-up the rear portion of the building and provide a
unique finish for the proposed smokers that defines the new restaurant use and integrates the rear portion of the
building with the front of the building and for these reasons the project may be found to be compatible with the
requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
Planning Commission Action:
The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application, and consider public testimony and
the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific findings supporting the Planning
Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning Commission. The reasons for any
action should be stated clearly for the record. 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 Division date stamped
November 2, 2017, sheets A0.00 through A3.05;
2. that this business location to be occupied by a full service food establishment, with approximately 800 SF
of on-site customer seating area (300 SF ground floor + 550 SF on the mezzanine), may change its food
establishment classification only to a limited food service or bar upon approval of a conditional use permit
amendment for the establishment, and the criteria for the new classification shall be met in order for a
change to be approved;
3. that the approximately 800 SF area of on-site seating of the full service food establishment shall be
enlarged or extended to any other areas within the tenant space or covered patio area only by an
amendment to this conditional use permit;
4. that the full service food establishment will include a catering kitchen at the rear that may operate only in
conjunction with the full service food establishment so long as the restaurant maintains regular business
hours and shall not operate as a separate business from the restaurant at the front of the property (1465
Burlingame Avenue); the Burlingame Planning Division shall be notified if the business operations
deviate from those detailed in the application materials provided from the applicant and may require
approval of a Conditional Use Permit Amendment;
5. that this food establishment shall provide trash receptacle(s) as approved by the city consistent with the
streetscape improvements and maintain all trash receptacle(s) at the entrances to the building and at any
additional locations as approved by the City Engineer and Fire Department;
6. that the business shall provide litter control and sidewalk cleaning along all frontages of the business and
within fifty (50) feet of all frontages of the business;

10. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building Code and California Fire Code,
2013 edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame and that failure to comply with these conditions or
any change to the business or use on the site which would affect any of these conditions shall require an
amendment to this use permit.

PR�JECT DESCRIPTIC�i�
CHEF & THE BUTCHER -1465 BURLINGAME AVE.,1464 FOX PLAZA LANE
REVISED:10/10/2017
APPLICATION TO I HE PLANNING COMMISSION
PROJECTINTRODUCTION
Chef & the Butcher is a full service restaurant concept with an accessory artisan butcher shop. A full commercial
kitchen with commercial dishwasher will be paired with the artisan butcher shop to provide patrons with a full
service dine-in experience complete with ceramic plates and metal flatware in a seating area that exceeds 250
square feet.
The culinary mission of the restaurant and artisan butcher counter is to provide grass fed, sustainable meats of
varying types and cuts, supported by a small, but deep selection of company made spices, rubbings, sauces and
marinades that are press and destination worthy. Chef & the Butcher will blend this with their own version of eat-in
barbeque- an increasingly popular , multi-faceted comfort food that pairs well with craft beers and local wines;
combining the best aspects of a food establishment with a neighborhood diner feel.
PROPOSED SCOPE
The project scope encompasses two buildings on the same parcel (APN 029-201-040). The main building fronts
Burlingame Avenue and contains two tenant spaces;1461 Burlingame Avenue which currently houses "Salon 1461"
and 1465 Burlingame Avenue which was formally Secret of Medusa salon and is currently vacant. The Main Space
will house portions of Chef & the Butcher, including all customer dine-in seating, aspects of the production kitchen
(barbeque smoker), the accessory artisan butcher shop, restrooms and Chef & the Butcher office and storage
space.
The second building on the south half of the property,1464 Fox Plaza Lane, currently houses a catering business
and is designated as an existing, non-conforming use. This Conditional Use Permit application will serve to bring
the 1464 Fox Plaza Lane into compliance by having it become a part of Chef & the Butcher and its designation as a
full-service food establishment. Under this application we propose creating an internal connection between the two
buildings for use by Chef & the Butcher employees only. In doing so, the 1461 Fox Plaza Lane will serve as the
primary production kitchen for the Chef & the Butcher, while also continuing to operate as Chef & the Butcher's
catering kitchen.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
House of Operatio_n: Chef & The Butcher will operate 7-days a week, from 10:30am-9:OOpm
Meals Served: Chef & The Butcher will not be serving breakfast, but will be open for lunch and dinner. Meals will
consist of sandwiches, salads, and smoked meats by the pound accompanied by both hot and cold sides.
Additionally, we will offer a selection of beer and wine for both lunch and dinner service.
Take=out_Meals: Chef & The Butcher will accommodate take-out order as well as catering/large party pre-orders
Meal Delivery: Delivery will go through a third party delivery service (i.e. DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates, etc.)
Cateri_ng; Chef & the Butcher anticipates catering/take-out will account for 25-35% of their restaurant sales and
will target wedding, corporate and private events. Please note that Chef & The Butcher defines "catering" as large-
volume orders that will be picked up by the customer, not on-site or delivered catering.

The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance (Code
Section 25.52.020). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in
making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request. Please type or write neatly
in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
l. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious to
property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or
conveniercce.
From a public health standpoint, Chef & the Butcher (CATB) looks to improve unfavorable
existing conditions, primarily enclosing on-site garbage/refuse storage in a lockable
vestibule accessible only by CATB employees. With regards to public safety, the proposed
use will not adversely affect police protection, and will provide a new sprinkler system within
the tenant space where one does not already exist. CATB will be in line with the already
diverse and vibrant collection of businesses along Burlingame Avenue by providing a
restaurant type not yet existing, only adding to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
2.
3.
How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance?
CATB will be located in the Burlingame Avenue Commercial (BAC) District of the
Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan. The BAC District is defined as "the commercial and
retail heat of Downtown Burlingame" and features "a mixture of restaurants, national retail
stores, and many locally based retailers".
As a"full-service food establishment", Chef & the Butcher is a permitted use within the
zoning district pending conditional approval.
How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, `nass, bulk and character of
the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity?
The large majority of CATB will be confined to the interior of two existing buildings. The
aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of the exterior of these buildings will remain
untouched. The project proposes a small, secured exterior equipment enclosure where an
existing walk-in cooler currently sits (walk-in cooler to be demolished). The footprint of the
enclosure will be slightly larger than the existing walk-in cooler footprint, but at no point will
it be taller than the adjacent parapet. The enclosure will house the rear portion of two (2)
barbecue smokers (utilizing a"through-wall" installation) as well as wood storage and will
only be accessible by CATB employees. The construction of the enclosure will maintain
visibility through (steel frame structure w/ steel mesh walls) so patrons can see the smokers
when entering from the rear of the site. See plans and elevations for more information. cuP.F�
City of Burlingame Planning Department 501 Primrose Road P(650) 558-7250 F(650) 696-3790 �vww.burlin ag me.org
1. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injtcrious
to property or improve�zents in the vicinity or to public health, safety, general welfare or
convenience.
How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those properties? If neighboring
properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting, paving, landscaping sunlight/shade, views from neighboring
properties, ease of maintenance.
Why will the structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or general welfare?
Puhlic health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discliarges into sewer and stormwater systems, water supply safety,
and thing which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., underground storage tanks, storage of chemicals, situations which encourage
the spread of rodents, insects or communicable diseases).
Public sa etv. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection? Will alarm systems or sprinklers be
installed? Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need for police services (i.e., noise, unruly gatherings,
loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use of flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous activities like welding,
woodwork, engine removal).
Genera! welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's policy and goals for conservation
and development? Is there a social benefit?
Convenie,tce. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or parking for this site or adjacent
sites)? Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as the elderly or handicapped?
2. How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the Burlingame
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance?
Ask the Planning Department for the general plan designation and zoning district for the proposed project site. Also, ask for an explanation
of each. Once you have this information, you can compare your proposal with the stated designated use and zoning, then explain why this
proposal would fit accordingly.
3. How will the proposed project be cornpatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character
of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity?
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhood? If it does not affect aesthetics, state why. If
changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match existing architecture, pattern of development on adjacent
properties in the neighborhood? If a use will affect the way a neighborhood or area looks, such as a long term airport parking lot, compare
your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it fts.
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change to the structure, say so.
If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation, etc. with other structures in the neighborhood or area.
How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image or tone
established by size, density of development and general pattern of land use. Will there be more traffic or less parking available resulting
from this use? If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change, state why.
�
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare your project with existing
uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity, and/or state why your project would be consistent with
potential uses in the vicinity.
