Front Setback Variance and Hillside Area Construction Permit
Regular Action
Address: 2748 Burlingview Drive Meeting Date: November 24, 2014
Request: A Front Setback Variance and Hillside Area Construction Permit for single -story additions to an
existing single-family residence.
Applicant and Designer: Jesse Geurse, Geurse Conceptual Designs APN: 027-224-150
Property Owner: Henry Hsia Lot Area: 10,454 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions
to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase
of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Project Description: The subject site is a corner property located at the intersection of Burlingview Drive and
Hillview Court. The municipal code defines the front of the property as the shortest lot line; in the case of this
subject property, the front of the lot is defined as the lot line along Hillview Court.
The existing single -story house has an entrance and an attached garage facing Burlingview Drive. There is an
existing uncovered deck at the right side of the house, along the Hillview Court frontage. This deck is greater
than 30 inches from grade and is included in both lot coverage calculations and setback measurements. With
this application, the applicant proposes to remove the existing deck and to replace it with a 129 SF living area.
The wall of the proposed living area has the same front setback as the existing house and deck, but is a new
structure and must meet front setback requirements.
The required average front setback is calculated by measuring the existing setbacks on the same block (in this
case on Hillview Court), by discarding the smallest and the largest existing setbacks, and then by calculating the
average of the remaining setbacks. For this block there were four properties used to calculate the average of
the block. The applicant is requesting a Front Setback Variance for a proposed front setback of 18'-0" where
28'-4" is the average if the block and the minimum required front setback.
The project includes demolishing an existing sunroom located at the rear, right side of the house and replacing it
with living space with the same footprint. The proposed changes to the house are single story and the existing
highest ridge of the residence will not be increased.
With the proposed project, the number of bedrooms on site will be increased from 3 to 4. A four -bedroom house
requires 2 parking spaces, one of which must be covered. The existing house has two covered parking spaces,
one of which is non -conforming in length due to the location of a utility sink in the garage. The applicant
proposes to remove the utility sink so that the attached garage provides two covered parking spaces that meet
current requirements for existing covered parking space dimensions. The existing uncovered parking spaces in
the driveway leading to the garage will remain.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Front Setback Variance for a single family dwelling (C.S. 25.26.072(b)(1)); and
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit for work within the Hillside Area (C.S. 25.61.020).

The existing front setback to the first floor is non -conforming (18'-0" existing where 28'-4" is the average of this court
block).
2 The proposed front setback requires a variance (18'-0" proposed where 28'-4" is required) (C.S. 25.26.072(b)(1)).
S (0.32 x 10,454 SF) + 900 SF= 2564 SF (0.25 FAR).
4 The existing attached garage provides on the left side one covered space that meets code required minimum
dimensions. The covered space on the right does has an existing, non -conforming length of 17'-0" where 18'-0" is
required because of the location of the utility sink in the garage.
Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Division, Engineering Division,
Parks Division, and Stormwater Division.
Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission study meeting on October 27, 2014, the Commission had concerns
about the stated justifications for the front setback variance and the blank appearance of the proposed wall of
the addition that faces Hillview Court. It voted to place this item on the regular action calendar when all
information has been submitted and reviewed by the Planning Division (see the October 27, 2014 Planning
Commission Minutes).
The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans, date stamped November 12, 2014, to address the
Commission's concerns. Please refer to the response letter for details about the two revisions that were made to
the plans. The applicant has supplied a new variance application form, date stamped November 20, 2014, and
noted that he will be providing additional information regarding the variance in his presentation at the Planning
Commission hearing.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved
that do not apply generally to property in the same district;
(b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
-2-
Variance and Hillside Area Construction Permit
2748 Burlingview Drive
right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship;
(c) the granting of the application 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; and
(d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing
and potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.
Required Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit: Review of a Hillside Area Construction Permit by
the Planning Commission shall be based upon obstruction by construction of the existing distant views of nearby
properties. Emphasis shall be given to the obstruction of distant views from habitable areas within a dwelling
unit (Code Sec. 25.61.060).
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:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
November 12, 2014, sheets A.1 through A.6, T.0, SP.1 and DMA;
2. that any changes to the size or envelope of the basement, first or second floors, or garage, which would
include adding or enlarging a dormer(s), shall require an amendment to this permit;
3. that if the structure is demolished or the envelope changed at a later date the Front Setback Variance, as
well as any other exceptions to the code granted here, will become void;
4. that the conditions of the Engineering Divisions September 10, 2014 memo, the Building Division's
September 15 and October 14, 2014 memos, the Parks Division's September 8, 2014 memo, the Fire
Division's September 8, 2014 memo, and the Stormwater Divisions September 9, 2014 memo shall be
met;
5. that any recycling containers, debris boxes or dumpsters for the construction project shall be placed upon
the private property, if feasible, as determined by the Community Development Director;
6. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall not
occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to comply with all the
regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District;
7. that prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of the project, the project construction plans shall
be modified to include a cover sheet listing all conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission,
or City Council on appeal; which shall remain a part of all sets of approved plans throughout the
construction process. Compliance with all conditions of approval is required; the conditions of approval
shall not be modified or changed without the approval of the Planning Commission, or City Council on
appeal;
8. that all air ducts, plumbing vents, and flues shall be combined, where possible, to a single termination and
installed on the portions of the roof not visible from the street; and that these venting details shall be

Commissioner Terrones was recused from this item.
All Commissioners had visited the property. There were no ex-parte communications to report.
Senior Planner Hurin presented the staff report.
Commission comments/questions:
> When plans come back would like them to show where average front setback line would be.
> Responses in Variance application Items A and B don't justify variance. Item A — Stated that
because it is a corner lot the front of the house is the side setback, but that is the case for every corner
lot so is not exceptional or extraordinary. Item 8 — Hardship just talks about making a bedroom larger,
and if it could not be extended the house value would decline, but does not adequately address the point
of the variance.
> Average setback is already 28.4 feet and existing property is already encroaching. Another 129
square feet will further encroach.
> Will create more of a blank wall to the entry of Hillview Court, and is set up above street level.
Anything to mitigate the blankness would be beneficial.
As a study item, there is no action on this item. The application will return on the Regular Action
Calendar when revised as directed.

Construction Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Construction projects are required to implement the stormwater best management practices (BMP) on this page, as Painting & Paint Removal
they apply to your project, all year long.
Materials & Waste Management
Non -Hazardous Materials
❑ Berm and cover stockpiles of send, din or other construction material
with tarps when rain is forecast or if not actively being used within
14 days.
❑ Use (but don't overuse) reclaimed water for dust control.
Hazardous Materials
❑ Label all hazardous materials and hazardous wastes (such as
pesticides, paints, thinners, solvents, fool, oil, and antifreeze) in
accordance with city, county, state and federal regulations.
❑ Stem hazardous materials and wastes in water tight containers, store
in appropriate secondary containment, and cover them at the end of
every work day or during wet weather or when min is forecast.
❑ Follow manufacturer's application instructions for hazardous
materials and be careful not to use more than necessary. Do not
apply chemicals outdoors when rain is forecast within 24 hours.
❑ Arrange for appropriate disposal of all hazardous wastes.
Waste Management
❑ Cover waste disposal containers securely with tarps at the end of
every work day and during wet weather.
❑ Check waste disposal containers frequently for leaks and to make
sure they are not overfilled. Never hose down a dumpster on the
construction site.
❑ Clean or replace portable toilets, and inspect them frequently for
leaks and spills.
❑ Dispose of all wastes and debris properly. Recycle materials and
wastes that can be recycled (such as asphalt, concrete, aggregate base
materials, wood, gyp board, pipe, etc.)
❑ Dispose of liquid residues from paints, thinners, solvents, glues, and
cleaning fluids as hazardous waste.
Construction Entrances and Perimeter
❑ Establish and maintain effective perimeter controls and stabilize all
construction entrances and exits to sufficiently control erosion and
sediment discharges from site and tracking otrsite.
❑ Sweep or vacuum any street tracking immediately and seem
sediment source to prevent further tracking. Never hose down streets
to clean up tracking.
Equipment Management &
Spill Control
st c
Maintenance and Parking
❑ Designate an area, fitted with appropriate BMPs, for
vehicle and equipment parking and storage.
❑ Perform major maintenance, repair jobs, and vehicle
and equipment washing off site.
Cl If refueling or vehicle maintenance must be done
onsite, work hi a berated area away from storm drains
and over a drip pan or drop cloths big enough to collect
fluids. Recycle or dispose of fluids as hazardous waste.
❑ If vehicle or equipment cleaning must be done onsite,
clean with water only in a berated area that will not
allow rinse water to tun into gutters, streets, storm
drains, or surface waters.
❑ Do not clean vehicle or equipment onsite using soups,
solvents, degreasers, or steam cleaning equipment.
Spill Prevention and Control
❑ Keep spill cleanup materials (e.g., rags, absorbents and
cat litter) available at the construction site at all times.
❑ Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently for and
repair looks promptly. Use drip pans to catch leaks
until repairs are made.
O Clean up spills or leaks immediately and dispose of
cleanup materials properly.
❑ Do not hose down surfaces where fluids have spilled.
Use dry cleanup methods (absorbent materials, cat
litter, and/or rags).
❑ Sweep up spilled dry materials immediately. Do not
try to wash them away with water, or bury them.
O Clean up spills on dirt areas by digging up and
properly disposing of contaminated soil.
❑ Report significant spills immediately. You are required
by law to report all significant releases of bazardous
materials, including oil. To report a spill: 1) Dial 911
or your local emergency response number. 2) Call the
Governor's Office of Emergency Services Warning
Center, (800) $52-7550 (24 hours).
Eartbmoving
�
A
❑ Schedule grading and excavation work
during dry weather.
O Stabilize all denuded areas, install and
maintain temporary erosion controls (such
as erosion control fabric or bonded fiber
matrix) will vegetation is established.
❑ Remove existing vegetation only when
absolutely necessary, and seed or plant
vegetation for erosion control on slopes
or where construction is not immediately
planned.
❑ Prevent sediment from migrating offsite
and protect storm drain inlets, goners,
ditches, and drainage courses by installing
and maintaining appropriate BMPs, such
rolls, silt fences sediment basins as fiber o s, sul ,
gravel bags, berms, etc.
❑ Keep excavated soil on site and transfer it
to dump trucks on site, not in the streets.
Contaminated Soils
❑ Vary ofthe following conditions am
observed, test for contamination and
contact the Regional Water Quality
Control Board;
- Unusual soil conditions, discoloration,
or odor.
- Abandoned underground tanks.
Abandoned wells
Buried barrels, debris, or trash.
Paving/Asphalt Work
A&
❑ Avoid paving and seal coating in wet
weather or when rain is forecast, to
prevent materials that have not cured
from contacting stormwater runoff.
❑ Cover storm drain inlets and manholes
when applying seal coal, tack coat, slurry
seal, fog seal, etc.
❑ Collect and meycle or appropriately
dispose of excess abrasive gravel or sand.
Do NOT sweep or wash it into gutters.
❑ Do not use water in wash down fresh
asphalt concrete pavement.
Sawcutting & Asphalt/Concrete Removal
❑ Protect nearby storm drain inlets when
saw cutting. Use filter fabric, catch basin
inlet filters, or gravel bags to keep slurry
out of the storm drain system.
❑ Shovel, abosorb, or vacuum saw -cut
slurry and dispose of all waste as soon
as you arc finished in one location or at
the end of each work day (whichever is
sooner!).
❑ If sawcut slurry enters a catch basin, clean
it up immediately.
Concrete, Grout & Mortar
Application
I
❑ store concrete, grout, and mortar away
from storm drains or waterways, and on
pallets under cover to protect them ftom
min, runoff. and wind.
❑ Wash out concrete equipment/trucks
oifstte or in a designated washout
area, whom the water will flow into a
temporary waste pit, and in a manner
that will prevent leaching into the
underlying soil or onto surrounding areas.
Let concrete harden and dispose of as
garbage.
❑ When washing exposed aggregate,
prevent washwater from entering storm
drains. Block any inlets and vacuum
gutters, hose washwater onto dirt areas, or
drain onto a berated surface to be pumped
and disposed of properly.
Landscaping
❑ Pmtem stockpiled landscaping materials
from wind and rein by storing them under
tarps all yearrvround.
❑ Stack bagged material on pallets and
undercover.
❑ Discontinue application of any erodible
landscape material within 2 days before a
forecast min event or during wet weather.
Storm drain polluters may be liable for fines olI up to 510,000 per day!
Painting Cleanup and Removal
❑ Never clean brushes or rinse paint
containers into a street, gutter, storm
drain, or stream.
❑ For water -based paints, paint out brushes
to the extent possible, and rinse into a
drain that goes to the sanitary sewer.
Never pour paint down a stone drain.
❑ For oil -based paints, paint out brushes to
the extent possible and clean with thinner
or solvent in a proper container. Filter and
muse thinners and solvents. Dispose of
excess liquids as hazardous waste.
❑ Paint chips and dust from non -hazardous
dry stripping and sand blasting may be
swept up or collected in plastic drop
cloths and disposed of as trash.
❑ Chemical paint stripping residue and chips
and dust from marine paints or paints
containing lead, mercury; or tributyltin
must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Lead bused paint removal requires a state -
certified contractor.
Dewatering
17
❑ Discharges of groundwater or captured
runoff from dewatering operations most
be properly managed and disposed. When
possible send dewatering discharge to
landscaped area or sanitary sewer. If
discharging to the sanitary sewer call your
local wastewater treatment plant.
❑ Divert run-on water from offsite away
from all disturbed areas.
❑ When dewatering, notify and obtain
approval from the local municipality
before discharging water to a street gutter
or storm drain. Filtration or diversion
through a basin, tank, or sediment trap
may be required.
❑ In areas of known or suspected
contamination, call your local agency to
detemrine whether the ground water must
be tested. Pumped groundwater may need
to be collected and hauled off -site for
treatment and proper disposal.

Prentonlram Requirements for Architectural Copper
Chan Wxses, k�s;r�3 t".� :m�nc<a..
Protect water quality during installation, cleaning, treating, and washing!
Copper from Buildings May Harm Aquatic Life
Copper can harm aquatic life in San Francisco Bay. Water that comes
into contact with architectural copper may contribute to impacts,
especially during installation, cleaning, treating, or washing. Patination
solutions that are used to obtain the desired shade of green or brown
typically contain acids. After treatment, when the copper is rinsed to
remove these acids, the rinse water is a source of pollutants.
Municipalities prohibit discharges to the storm drain of water used in the
installation, cleaning, treating and washing of architectural copper.
Building with copper flashing,
gutter and drainpipe.
Use Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be implemented to prevent prohibited
discharges to storm drains.
During Installation
• If possible, purchase copper materials that have been pre-patinated at the factory.
• If patination is done on -site, implement one or more of the following BMPs:
o Discharge the rinse water to landscaping. Ensure that the
rinse water does not flow to the street or storm drain.
Block off storm drain inlet if needed.
o Collect rinse water in a tank and pump to the sanitary
sewer. Contact your local sanitary sewer agency before
discharging to the sanitary sewer.
o Collect the rinse water in a tank and haul off -site for
proper disposal.
• Consider coating the copper materials with an impervious
coating that prevents further corrosion and runoff. This will
also maintain the desired color for a longer time, requiring
less maintenance.
Storm drain inlet is blocked to prevent
prohibited discharge. The water must be
pumped and disposed of properly.
During Maintenance
Implement the following BMPs during routine maintenance activities, such as power washing the roof,
re-patination or re -application of impervious coating:
• Block storm drain inlets as needed to prevent runoff from entering storm drains.
• Discharge the wash water to landscaping or to the sanitary sewer (with permission from the local
sanitary sewer agency). If this is not an option, haul the wash water off -site for proper disposal.

Front Setback Variance and Hillside Area Construction Permit
Study Item
Address: 2748 Burlingview Drive Meeting Date: October 27, 2014
Request: A Front Setback Variance and Hillside Area Construction Permit for single -story additions to an existing
single-family residence.
Applicant and Designer: Jesse Geurse, Geurse Conceptual Designs APN: 027-224-150
Property Owner: Henry Hsia Lot Area: 10,454 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Project Description: The subject site is a corner property located at the intersection of Burlingview Drive and
Hillview Court. The municipal code defines the front of the property as the shortest lot line; with this property, the
front is defined as the lot line along Hillview Court. The existing house has an entrance and an attached garage
facing Burlingview Drive.
There is an existing uncovered deck at the front, right side of the house (along the Hillview Court frontage). This
deck is greater than 30 inches from grade and is included in both lot coverage calculations and setback
measurements. With this application, the applicant proposes to remove the existing deck and replace it with a 129
SF living area. The wall of the addition has the same front setback as the existing house and deck, but is a new
structure and is required to meet front setback requirements. The applicant is requesting a Front Setback Variance
for a proposed front setback of 18'-0" where 28'-4" is the average setback for the houses on Hillview Court.
The project also includes demolishing an existing 405 SF sunroom located at the rear, right side of the house and
replacing it with living space with the same footprint. Taken together, the replacement of the deck and sunroom will
increase the living space of the house by 129 SF, and the lot coverage will be reduced by 99 SF. The proposed
changes to the house are single story and the existing highest ridge of the residence will not be increased.
With the proposed project, the number of bedrooms on site will be increased from 3 to 4. A four -bedroom house
requires two parking spaces, one of which must be covered. The existing house has two covered parking spaces,
one of which is non -conforming in length due to the location of a utility sink in the garage. The applicant proposes
to remove the utility sink so that the attached garage will have two covered parking spaces that meet current
requirements for existing covered parking space dimensions. The existing uncovered parking spaces in the
driveway leading to the garage will not be altered with the project.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Front Setback Variance for a single family dwelling (C.S. 25.26.072(b)(1)); and
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit (C.S. 25.61.020).

Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Division, Engineering Division, Parks
Division, and Stormwater Division.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved that
do not apply generally to property in the same district;
(b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship;
(c) the granting of the application 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; and
(d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and
potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.
Required Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit: Review of a Hillside Area Construction Permit by the
Planning Commission shall be based upon obstruction by construction of the existing distant views of nearby
properties. Emphasis shall be given to the obstruction of distant views from habitable areas within a dwelling unit
(Code Sec. 25.61.060).

VARIANCE APPLICATION
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). 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.
a. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
your property which do not apply to other properties in this area.
PLANNING IS CLASSIFYING OUR CURRENT SIDE SETBACK AS A FRONT SETBACK DUE TO OUR
PROPERTY BEING A CORNER LOT. SHORTER LENGTHS OF CORNER PROPERTIES ARE CLASSIFIED
AS FRONT WHICH CREATES A HARDSHIP FOR THE REASON ALL FRONT NEIGHBORING
PROPERTIES HAVE A FURTHER FRONT YARD SETBACK THEN OUR ACTUAL SIDE SETBACK AN
AVERAGE IS THEN DETERMINED AND OUR ADDITION IS NOT WITHIN THE FRONT SETBACK
REQUIREMENTS. WE ASK FORA VARIANCE TO CORNER OFF EXISTING RESIDENCE TO MATCH ALL
EXISTING WALLS.
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right and what unreasonable property loss or unnecessary
hardship might result form the denial of the application.
WE ASK THAT A VARIANCE BE APPROVED SO THAT A BEDROOM CAN BE MADE LARGER BY
CORNING OFF EXISTING WALLS THAT ARE EXISTING. THE ENJOYMENT OF TIC ADDITION
WOULD REFLECT AN ACTUAL MASTER BEDROOM WITH NEW BATH AND CLOSET. THE
ADDITION WILL NOT EXCEED ANY EXISTING WALLS. IF BEDROOM CANNOT BE EXTENDED THEN
A POTENTIAL OF THE HOUSE VALUE WOULD DECLINE FOR THE REASON IT CANNOT BE
EXPANDED.
C. 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 convenience.
THE PROPOSED ADDITION IS A SINGLE STORY ADDITION THAT WILL CORNER OFF AN EMPTY
AREA ALREADY OCCUPIED BY A LARGE WOOD DECK THE LOCATION OF THE ADDITION

Construction Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Construction projects are required to implement the stormwater best management practices (BMP) on this page, as
they apply to your project, all year long.
Materials & Waste Management
Non -Hazardous Materials
❑ Benn and cover stockpiles of sand, dirl or other construction material
with turps when rain is forecast or if not actively being used within
14 days.
❑ Use (but don't overuse) reclaimed water for dust control.
Hazardous Materials
❑ Label all hazardous materials and hazardous wastes (such as
pesticides, paints, thinners, solvents, fuel, oil, and antifreeze) in
accordance with city, county, state and federal regulations.
❑ Store hazardous materials and wastes in water tight containers, store
in appropriate secondary containment, and cover them at the and of
every work day or during wet weather or when min is forecast.
❑ Follow manufacturer's application instructions for hazardous
materials and be careful not to use more din necessary. Do not
apply chemicals outdoors when min is forecast within 24 bouts.
❑ Arrange for appropriate disposal of all hazardous wastes.
Wart. Management
❑ Cover waste disposal containers securely with tarps at the end of
every work day and during wet weather.
❑ Check waste disposal containers frequently forleaks and to make
sure they are not overfilled. Never hose down a dumpster on the
construction site.
❑ Clean or replace portable toilets, and inspect them frequently for
Lanka and spills.
❑ Dispose of all wastes and debris properly. Recycle materials and
wastes that can be recycled (such as asphalt, concrete, aggregate base
materials, wood, gyp board, pipe, etc.)
❑ Dispose of liquid residues from paints, thinners, solvents, glues, and
cleaning fluids as hazardous waste.
Construction Entrances and Perimeter
❑ Establish and maintain effective perimeter controls and stabilize all
construction entrances and exits to sufficiently control erosion and
sediment discharges from site and tracking offsite.
❑ Sweep or vacuum any street tracking immediately and secure
sediment source to prevent further tracking. Never hose down streets
to clean up tracking.
Equipment Management &
Spill Control
Maintenance and Parking
❑ Designate an area, fitted with appropriate BUPA, for
vehicle and equipment parking and storage.
❑ Perform major maintenance, repair jobs, and vehicle
and equipment washing off site.
❑ If refueling or vehicle maintenance must be done
onsite, work in a bermed area away from storm drains
and over a drip pan or drop cloths big enough to collect
fluids. Recycle or dispose offluids as hazardous waste.
❑ If vehicle or equipment cleaning must be done onsite,
clean with water only in a banned area that will not
allow rinse water to run into gutters, streets, steno
drains, or surface waters.
❑ Do not clean vehicle or equipment onsite using soaps,
solvents, degreasers, or steam cleaning equipment.
Spill Prevention and Control
❑ Keep spill cleanup materials (e.g., rags, absorbents and
CAL litter) available at the construction site at all times.
❑ Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently for and
repair leaks promptly. Use drip pane to catch leaks
until repairs are made.
❑ Clean up spills or leaks immediately and dispose of
cleanup materials properly.
❑ Do not hose down surfaces where fluids have spited.
Use dry cleanup methods (absorbent materials, cat
litter, and/or rugs).
❑ Sweep up spilled dry materials immediately. Do not
try to wash them away with water, or bury them.
❑ Clean up spills ant dirt areas by digging up and
properly disposing of contaminated soil.
❑ Report significant spills immediately. You are required
by Inv to report all significant releases of hazardous
materials, including oil. To repon a spill: 1) Dial 911
or your local emergency response number, 2) Call the
Governor's Office of Emergency Services Warning
Center, (800) 852-7550 (24 hours).
Earthmoving
Cl Schedule grading and excavation work
during dry weather.
❑ Stabilize all denuded areas, install and
maintain temporary erosion controls (such
as erosion control fabric or bonded fiber
matrix) until vegetation is established.
❑ Remove existing vegetation only when
absolutely necessary, and seed or plant
vegetation for erosion control on slopes
or where construction is not immediately
planned.
❑ Prevent sediment from migrating offsite
and protect storm drain inlets, gutters,
ditches, and drainage courses by installing
and maintaining appropriate BMPs, such
as fiber rolls, silt fences, sediment basins,
gravel bags, berms, etc.
❑ Keep excavated soil an site and transfer it
to dump trucks on site, not in the streets.
Contaminated Sons
❑ If any of the following conditions are
observed, test for contamination and
contact the Regional Water Quality
Control Board:
- Unusual soil conditions, discoloration,
or odor.
- Abandoned underground tanks.
- Abandoned wells
Butied barrels, debris, or trash.
Paving/Asphalt Work
A&
❑ Avoid paving and seal coating in wet
weather or when rain is forecast, to
prevent materials that have not cured
from Contacting stormwater runoff.
❑ Cover storm drain inlets and manholes
when applying seal coat, tack coat, slurry
seal, fog seal, etc.
❑ Collect and recycle or appropriately
dispose of excess abrasive gravel or sand.
Do NOT sweep or wash it into gutters.
❑ Do not use water to wash down fresh
asphalt concrete pavement.
SawcutdFtg At Asphalt/Concrete Removal
❑ Protect nearby storm drain inlets when
saw cutting. Use filter fabric, catch basin
inlet filters, or gravel bags to keep slurry
out of the storm drain system.
Cl Shovel, abosorb, or vacuum saw -cut
slurry and dispose of at waste as soon
as you are finished in one location or at
the end of each work day (whichever is
soonerl).
❑ If sawout slurry enters a catch basin, clean
It up immediately.
Concrete, Grout & Mortar
Application
a
❑ Store concrete, grout, and mortar away
from storm dmins or waterways, and on
pallets under cover to protect them from
min, runoff, and wind.
❑ Wash out concrete equipment/trucks
offsite or in a designated washout
area, where die water will flow into a
temporary waste pit, and in a manner
that will prevent leaching into the
underlying soil or onto surrounding areas.
Let Concrete burden and dispose of as
garbage.
❑ When washing exposed aggregate,
prevent washwater from entering storm
drains. Block any inlets and vacuum
gutters, hose washwater onto dirt areas, or
drain onto a banned surface to be pumped
and disposed of property.
Landscaping
❑ Protect stockpiled landscaping materials
from wind and min by storing them under
tarps all yca round.
❑ Stock bagged material on pallets and
tinder Cover.
❑ Discontinue application of any erodible
landscape material within 2 days before it
forecast min event or during wet weather.
Painting & Paint Removal
Painting Cleanup and Removal
❑ Never clean brushes or rinse paint
containers into a street, gutter, steno
drain, or stream.
❑ For water -based paints, paint out brushes
to the extent possible, and rinse into a
drain that goes to the sanitary sewer.
Never pour paint down a storm drain.
❑ For oil -based paints, paint out brushes to
the extent possible and clean with thinner
or solvent in a proper container Filter and
reuse thinners and solvents. Dispose of
excess liquids as hazardous waste.
❑ Paint chips and dust from non -hazardous
dry stripping and sand blasting may be
swept up or collected in plastic drop
cloths and disposed of as trash.
❑ Chemical paint stripping residue and chips

must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Lead based paint removal requires a smte-
certified contractor.
Dewatering
❑ Discharges of groundwater or captured
mnoff from dowatering operations roust
be properly managed and disposed. When
possible send dewatering discharge to
landscaped urea or sanitary sewer. If
discharging to The sanitary sewer call year
local wastewater treatment plant.
❑ Divert run-on water from onsite away
from all disturbed areas.
❑ When dewatering, notify and obtain
approval from the local municipality
before discharging water to a street gutter
or storm drain. Filtration or diversion
through a basin, tank, or sediment trap
may be required.
❑ In areas of known or suspected
Contamination, call your local agency to

R ,mntirin Pragraam Requirements for Architectural Copper
Protect water quality during installation, cleaning, treating, and washing!
Copper from Buildings May Harm Aquatic Life
Copper can harm aquatic life in San Francisco Bay. Water that comes
into contact with architectural copper may contribute to impacts,
especially during installation, cleaning, treating, or washing. Patination
solutions that are used to obtain the desired shade of green or brown
typically contain acids. After treatment, when the copper is rinsed to
remove these acids, the rinse water is a source of pollutants.
Municipalities prohibit discharges to the storm drain of water used in the
installation, cleaning, treating and washing of architectural copper.
Building with copper flashing,
gutter and drainpipe.
Use Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be implemented to prevent prohibited
discharges to storm drains.
During Installation
• If possible, purchase copper materials that have been pre-patinated at the factory.
• If patination is done on -site, implement one or more of the following BMPs:
o Discharge the rinse water to landscaping. Ensure that the
rinse water does not flow to the street or storm drain.
Block off storm drain inlet if needed.
o Collect rinse water in a tank and pump to the sanitary
sewer. Contact your local sanitary sewer agency before
discharging to the sanitary sewer.
o Collect the rinse water in a tank and haul off -site for
proper disposal.
Consider coating the copper

Storm drain inlet is blocked to prevent
prohibited discharge. The water must be
pumped and disposed of properly.
During Maintenance
Implement the following BMPs during routine maintenance activities, such as power washing the roof,
re-patination or re -application of impervious coating:
• Block storm drain inlets as needed to prevent runoff from entering storm drains.
• Discharge the wash water to landscaping or to the sanitary sewer (with permission from the local
sanitary sewer agency). If this is not an option, haul the wash water off -site for proper disposal.
Protect the Bay/Ocean and yourself!
If you are responsible for a discharge to the storm drain of non-
stormwater generated by installing, cleaning, treating or washing
copper architectural features, you are in violation of the municipal
stormwater ordinance and may be subject to a fine.
