Item No. 9a
Design Review Study
City of Burlingame
Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit
Address: 1552 Alturas Drive
Meeting Date: April 27, 2015
Request: Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for a second story deck addition
Applicant and Owner: Bruce Carlton
Engineer: Eric Cox, Kembcon Engineers
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-021-270
Lot Area: 7,260
Zoning: R-1
Project Description: The subject property slopes down from the front property line to the rear property line, so
that the existing house is single story at the front and two stories at the rear. There is an existing second story,
uncovered deck at the rear of the house with three supports that extend to the ground.
The applicant proposes an addition to the deck that will extend both the length and width of the deck. The total
proposed floor area is 3,141 SF (0.43 FAR), where 3,423 SF (0.47 FAR) is the maximum allowed (including the
floor area under the deck measured between the posts and the rear wall of the house).
The exterior dimensions of the existing deck measure 24'-4" x 8'-8" (211 SF). The exterior dimensions of the
proposed deck will be 37'-6" x 12'-8" (478 SF). The three existing support posts for the deck will remain in place
and a fourth post will be added to support the new deck area. The overhang of the deck beyond the posts will
be increased from 8 inches to 4'-10". The material for the deck floor and supports will remain painted wood,
while the existing painted wood railings of the deck will be replaced with a painted steel top rail and stainless
steel cables. There is no work proposed to the interior of the existing house. All other zoning code requirements
have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
Design Review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2)); and
Hillside Area Construction Permit (C.S. 25.61.060).

Parks Division, and Stormwater Division.
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
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).
