D A T E HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBMITTED � JULY 27, 1993 BY CITY PLANNER APPROVED FROM: gy APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION ON A HILLSIDE AREA 5„B,E�T:CONSTRUCTION PERMIT TO ADD A SECOND FLOOR AND CHANGE A FIRST FLOOR AT 2760 BURLINGVIEW DRIVE, ZONED R-1 0 RECOMMENDATION• City Council should hold a public hearing and take action. Affirmative action should be by resolution and include supportive findings. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated for the record. (Action alternatives and findings for a Hillside Area Construction Permit are included at the end of the staff report.) Conditions considered by the Planning Commission: 1. that the addition and alterations shall conform to the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped June 1, 1993, Sheets A-1 through A-5; 2. that the finish material used on both the flat and sloping portions of the roof shall be nonreflective and be approved by the Chief Building Official and City Planner prior to installation; 3. that the highest point on the new roof of the remodeled house shall not exceed elevation 531' and that the framing shall be surveyed to confirm this elevation and the survey accepted by the City Engineer before the final framing inspection is called for and the roofing material is attached; 4. that the comment made by the Chief Building Official in his memo of June 7, 1993 shall be met; and 5. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the Uniform Building and Uniform Fire Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame. Planning Commission Action Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 12, 1993 and voted 7-0 to deny the hillside area construction permit request for a 1106.5 SF second floor addition and a 114.6 SF first floor addition at 2760 Burlingview Drive. Previously the applicant had submitted a project for a substantially larger, new house to be built on the site. That project was continued by the Planning Commission because of view impact on a neighbor across the street. There was also some concern expressed about the views of the next door neighbor across the rear of the lot. The 2 applicant chose to withdraw the new house proposal and submitted instead the current proposal to remodel the existing house. In their action on the remodel proposal the commissioners noted that the redesign solved one view problem across the street (by shifting the second story addition to the other side of the structure) and now another neighbor is impacted; they noted that it is difficult to satisfy everyone. BACKGROUND• James Chu, architect, is requesting a hillside area construction permit in order to add a second floor (1106.5 SF) and add 114.6 SF on the first floor of the single story house at 2760 Burlingview Drive, zoned R-1. All other zoning requirements are met by the project. Neighbors within 100' were notified of the proposed remodel and two, Terry McAloon, 2759 Burlingview, and Daniel and Mary Erwin, 2753 Burlingview, called the project up for review by the Planning Commission. Both of these properties are across the street from the project site. The applicant has placed a wooden structure which outlines the proposed second story addition on the existing roof. EXHIBITS• - Action Alternatives and Hillside Area Construction Permit Findings - Monroe letter to James Chu, July 20, 1993, setting appeal - Chu letter to City Council, July 15, 1993, requesting appeal - City' Council Minutes, July 19, 1993 - Planning Commission Minutes, July 12, 1993 - Planning Commission Staff Report, July 12, 1993 with attachments - Notice of Appeal Hearing, mailed July 23, 1993 - Council Resolution - Project Plans MM/ cc: James Chu, Designer L-H Mao, property owner ACTION ALTERNATIVES 1. City Council may vote in favor of an applicant's request.. If the action is a variance, use permit, hillside area construction permit, fence exception or sign exception, the Council must make the findings as required by the code. Findings must be particular to the:,given property and request. Actions on use permits should.be by resolution. A majority of the Council members seated during the public hearing must agree in order to pass an affirmative motion. 2. City Council may deny an applicant�s request. The reasons for denial should be clearly stated for the record. 3. City Council may deny a request without prejudice. This action should be used when the application made to the City Council is not the same as that heard by the Planning Commission; when a Planning Commission action has been justifiably, with clear direction, denied without prejudice; or when the proposed project raises questions or issues on which the Council would like additional information or additional design work before acting on a project. Direction about additional information required to be given to staff, applicant and Planning Commission should be made very clear. Council should also direct whether any subsequent hearing should be before the Council or the Planning Commission. HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FINDINGS Code Sec. 25.61.060: Review by the planning commission or city council shall be based upon the obstruction by the 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. � , �.�,�` t��L' p..-r- (`��.e f1�t#� of ��z1i�t�tt�te CITY HA�L - 501 PRIMROSE ROAD re� <415) 696-7250 PLANNING DEPARTMENT BURLINGAME.

Subject: Hilside Construction 2760 Burlingview Dr. APN: 027-224-170 Permit Review Regarding your notice to me of the planned construction of a new house at 2760 Burlingview Dr., I do request that the planning commission review the plans and determine the effect that the structure may have on my view. In talking to the archtect I understand that the new roof line will be about two and a half feet higher than the present roof line. While the architect has been helpful in trying to describe to me how the new roof will look, I would appreciate an objective opinion on the impact of the new structure on a view that I have enjoyed for forty two years.
