Item No. 6
Action Item
Meeting Date: June 24, 2013
Request: Application for Commercial Design Review for changes to the fa�ades of an existing commercial
building.
Applicant: Karen Hess, Kate Spade
Architect: Joseph Park, TPG Architecture
Property Owner: 1207 1211 Burlingame Avenue LLC
APN: 029-204-050
Lot Area: 4,500 SF
Zoning: BAC
General Plan: Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan: Burlingame Avenue Commercial District
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 - Existing facilities, Class 1(a) of the CEQA Guidelines,
which states that interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and
electrical conveyances are exempt from environmental review.
Project Description: This application is for proposed changes to the fa�ade of an existing commercial building
located at 1207 and 1209 Burlingame Avenue, zoned BAC (Burlingame Avenue Commercial). The tenant space
at 1207 Burlingame Avenue was most recently occupied by Round Table Pizza and is currently vacant. Kate
Spade, a retail business which sells women's clothing and accessories, will be occupying the space. The
proposed retail business is a permitted use in the BAC zoning district. The fa�ade along 1209 Burlingame
Avenue is an entry to existing office space on the second floor of the building.
With this application, changes are proposed to the fa�ades of the existing tenant spaces along 1207 and 1209
Burlingame Avenue. This project is subject to Commercial Design Review because it includes changes to the
front fa�ade of a storefront located in the BAC zoning district.
The existing tenant frontage contains tile, brick and a horizontal stucco band above a glazed aluminum storefront
system. A wall sign and fabric awning are located above the storefront windows and recessed entry door.
For 1207 Burlingame Avenue, the applicant is proposing to replace the existing storefront window/door system,
tile under the storefront windows, awning and wall sign with a new storefront design. The new storefront design
includes a ceramic stone finish base and an aluminum framed glass storefront system with a new mirror finish
polished brass cabinet above the double swing glass entry doors. As noted on sheet A-3, the glass storefront
system angles inward to the recessed entry doors. A new canvas awning is proposed above the glass
storefront. The existing tile and brick cladding surrounding the new storefront will remain and be repaired as
necessary.
For 1209 Burlingame Avenue, the existing aluminum framed entry door, sidelight and clerestory window above
the door (below the existing horizontal stucco band) will be replaced with a taller aluminum framed door and
sidelight to match the height of the new doors proposed at 1207 Burlingame Avenue.
Personal and retail services on the first floor in the BAC zoning district are exempt from vehicle parking
requirements as set forth in code section 25.70.090 (a). Therefore, no additional off-street parking is required for
the proposed retail use. The following application is required:
■ Commercial Design Review for changes to the fa�ades of existing commercial storefronts in the BAC
Zoning District (CS 25.32.045).
Commercial Design Review 1207 and 1209 Burlingame Avenue
Staff comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Marshal, City Engineer, Parks
Supervisor and Stormwater Coordinator.
Planning staff would note that the proposed retail use is replacing a portion of the tenant space previously
occupied by Round Table Piva, an existing food establishment classified as a specialty shop food
establishment. A condition of approval for the conditional use permit granted to Round Table Pizza in 2000
notes "that if this site is changed from any food establishment use to any retail or other use, a food establishment
shall not be replaced on this site and this conditional use permit shall become void." Therefore, with this
application, the conditional use permit granted for a specialty shop food establishment will become void, unless
an application for a conditional use permit amendment is submitted within six months of Kate Spade occupying
the space. Staff would also note that under current zoning regulations for the BAC zoning district, a conditional
use permit application could be considered for a full service food establishment in the future.
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on June 10, 2013,
the Commission had several comments and questions regarding this application (see attached June 10, 2013
Planning Commission Minutes). The applicant submitted a response letter dated June 12, 2013 and revised
plans date stamped June 14, 2013 to address the Commission's concerns (see attached). Planning staff would
note that since the design review study meeting, the application has been revised to include changes to the entry
at 1209 Burlingame Avenue (see description on page 1).
Attached to the staff report you will find Section 5.2.3 - Architectural Design Consistency of the Design &
Character chapter in the Downtown Specific Plan, which provides guidance for fa�ade designs, windows, awning
and materials for buildings located within the Downtown Specific Plan.
In response to the property owner's question regarding the Certificate of Occupancy being rescinded during
construction, the Chief Building Official clarified that it would only be rescinded for this tenant space; the
remainder of the spaces within the building may be occupied during construction.
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.

5.2.3 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONSISTENCY
5.2.3.1 Facade Design
To maintain the present scale and character of buildings in
Downtown, large unintexrupted expanses of horizontal and vertical
wall surface should be avoided. Building fa�ades should respond to
the relatively narrow increments of development (15 to 50 feet) with
variarion in fenestrarion, building materials and/or building planes.
Facades should have genetous reveals such as inset doorways and
windows. Doors, windows, and details should be in keeping with
pedestrian scale, as opposed to a monumental scale that is out of
pxopoxtion to the surrounding context. Design details should be
authenuc and have purpose, rathex than being applied or stricdy
decorative. Facades should have a variation of both positive space
(massing) and negative space (plazas, inset doorway�s and windows).
FIGURE 5-12: Facades on both new and rehabilitated buildings should include
the elements that make up a complete storefront including doors, display
windows, bulkheads, signage areas and awnings.
Facades on both new and xehabilitated buildings should include the
elements that make up a complete storefront including doors, display
windows, bulkheads, signage areas and awnings. New buildings need
not iniinic an "historic" axchitectural style (and in fact should avoid
imitation that results in caricatuxes) but should include a level of axchi-
tectural detailing and quality of materials that complements e�cisting
buildings. Where older e�ting buildings are renovated, preservation oE
existing architectural details and materials is encouraged.
Even if separate businesses Eunction within the same btulding, the
overall design of the fa�ade should be consistent. Individual businesses
should not break the basic lines, matexial and concept of the fa�ade.
Storefronts can be demarcated from each othex within the same build-
ing by subde variations in the color or pattexn of surfaces of doors,
tiling, signage or entries. Corner parcels are encouxaged to incorporate
features such as rounded or cut corners, corner entrances, display win-
dows, corner roof features, wxap-around awnings/overhangs, blade
signs, etc.
ti_�
FIGURE 5-13: Even if separate businesses function within the same building,
the overall design of the fa�ade should be consistent. Individual businesses
should not break the basic lines, material and concept of the facade.
5.2.3.2 Windows
General
Windows are ixnportant for providing "eyes on the street" and enliven-
ing stxeetscapes. Building walls should be punctuated by well-propor-
tioned openings that pxovide relief, detail and variation on the facade.
Windows should be inset from the building wall to create shade and
shadow detail. The use of high-qualiry window products that contrib-
ute to the richness and detail of the fa�ade is encouxaged. Reflective
glass is considered an undesirable matexial because of its tendency to
create uncomfortable glare conditions and a forbidding appearance.
The use of materials that are reflected in the historic axchitecture pxes-
ent in the Downtown axea is encouxaged.
Di.r�lay Windo�v.r
Display windows should be designed to enliven the street and provide
pedestrian views into the interior of the storefront. Size, division and
shape of display windows should maintain the established xhythm of
the streetscape. Glass used in the display windows should be cleax so it
is possible to see inside, and display cases that block views into stores
are strongly discoutaged. Noticably tinted glazing is discouraged and
mirrored/reflective glass is not permitted.
5.2.3.3 Awnings
Awnings should be designed to be decorative, complimentary to the
overall facade design, and pxovide effective weather and sun protec-
tion. The placement of awnings should xelate to the major architec-
tural elements of the facade, avoiding covering any transom windows
or axchitectural elements such as belt courses, decoxative trim and simi-
lar features. The position of awxungs should also relate to the pedes-
trian and provide a sense of shelter, with awnings situated to corre-
spond to the tops of doorways and scale of pedestrians rather than
high up on the facade with a monumental scale. Separate awnings
should be used over individual storefxont bays as defined by the col-
umns or pilasters rather than placing a continuous awning acxoss the

building frontage. Backlit awnings that visually appeax as large light
souxces will not be permitted.
5.2.3.3 Materials
FIGURE 5-17: Service facilities such as trash enclosures and mechanical
equipment should be screened with enclosures and devices consistent with the
building architecture in form, material and detail.
Building materials should be richly detailed to pxovide visual intexest;
reference should be made to materials used in notable examples of his-
toric Downtown architecture. Metal siding and laxge expanses of stuc-
co or wood siding are also to be avoided, except in the Myrde Mi7ced
Use area. Roofing materials and accenting features such as canopies,
cornices, and tile accents should also offer color variation.
Charactet and richness in Downtown can be enhanced from the incor-
poxation of details and ornamentation into the design of the buildings.
These elements can include elements that have been traditionally used
such as cornices, brackets or moldings.
5.2.3.4 Rear and Side Facades
Because the side streets and alleys in Downtown are highly visible and
are used for both pedestrian access and vehicular access, rear and side
fa�ades that are visible fxom the public realm should exhibit sophisti-
cated levels of design and materials. Rear and side fa�ades of e�sting
buildings should be improved with design features and quality materi-
als where possible. Buildings should have windows and doors oriented
to the alleys and side streets. Entry dooxs, garage dooxs and windows
should be attractive and durable. Where buildings abut public paxking
lots, they are strongly encouraged to have rear entrances in addition to
their pxincipal street entrances. Rear facades may look like the back of
a building, but still be pleasant and inviting.
Service facilities such as trash enclosures and mechanical equipment
should be screened with enclosures and devices consistent with the
building architecture in form, material and detail. Roofs and trellises
are recommended for screening views fxom above. Whenever possible,
trash and recycling enclosures should be consolidated and designed to
serve several adjacent businesses provided they do not become over-

should exhibit sophisticated levels of design and materials of a quality similar
to front facades. Buildings facing public parking lots are strongly encouraged to

sized or too ungainly. Care should be taken to ensure xefuse areas do
not become noxious or smelly.
Where security devices are desired or warranted, designs should be axt-
ful with decorative grillwork that enhances the overall building design.
Alley areas should be well lit but should be designed so they are attrac-
tive and do not adversely impact adjacent pxoperties and detract fxom
the ambiance of Downtown.
5.2.4 SITE DESIGN AND AMENITIES
5.2.4.1 Building Coverage
In order to create well-defined street spaces consistent with the scale
of Downtown Burlingame, side yards are genexally discouraged in
favor of contiguous building fa�ades along the street. However,
narrow mid-block pedestrian passages that encouxage through-
block pedestrian circulation and/or arcaded spaces that create widex
sidewalk areas for cafes, etc. are enco�aged.
5.2.4.2 Open Space
Private open space within Downtown is not intended to provide
recreational or large landscaped areas, since this is a mare urban
environment. However, open space is an important element and
should be used to articulate building forms, promote access to light
and fxesh air, and maintain privacy foz Downtown xesidents.
In residential mixed-use developments, most open space should be
used to provide attractive amenities far xesidents, including interior
courtyards and perimeter landscaping. Balconies and rooftop texraces
are encouraged. Commexcial development should typically have less
open space in arder to maintain a dixect pedestrian relationship and
continuous storefront streetscape. Entry alcoves, courtyards, and
employee open space are examples. Open space for nonresidential
projects should provide a visual amenity for the development and an
attractive buffer to adjacent residential uses where applicable.
FIGURE 5-18: Open spaces such as retail plazas and outdoor seating
areas should be located at building entries, or along or near well-
traveled pedestrian routes to encourage frequent and spontaneous use.
FIGURE 5-19: In residential mixed-use developments, most open
space should be used to provide attractive amenities for residents,
including interior courtyards and perimeter landscaping.

Please read below for the storefront design revision narrative for the staff review on June 24 for
APN: 029-204-050 for storefront design approval:
As the Board Meeting requested the revision of heights of the storefront regarding the
awning, doors, and display windows, our design team studied the entire storefront to achieve a
better dialogue with both the adjacent tenants and the neighborhood in general.
The proportions of the show windows were revised as to create a better relationship in human
scale by adding a mullion at 9'-0" that follows the existing stucco band, aligned as well with a
revised maximum door height of 9'-0" for an orderly proportioned facade.
The bottom of the awning was revised to a maximum height of 11'-9" and the door handles were
also revisited to a smaller scale adding a touch of better proportions.
As discussed during the previous board meeting, the existing tile cladding at both sides of the
storefront will be repaired to as-new conditions for a more presentable fa�ade.
We believe this design with along with the awning, and the slanted configuration of the window
displays, will have an inviting effect, for an improved bond between the surrounding area and our
store.
Thank you for your collaboration

FOR CHANGES TO THE FAC�ADE OF AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING (KAREN HESS, KATE
SPADE, APPLICANT; TPG ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECT; RONALD KARP, PROPERTY OWNER
STAFF CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated June 10, 2013, with attachments. Senior Planner Hurin briefly presented the
project description. No ex parte communications were reported and all Commissioners had visited the
subject property. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Sargent opened the public comment period.
Karen Hess represented the applicant.
Brought photos from a store that was just completed at Santa Monica Place, for reference. It
opened about three weeks ago.
Also photos of an interior mall store that was recently completed.
Commission questions and comments:
■ Storage areas in the back, will those not be a part of the project? (Hess: We are not taking that
space, it is not part of our leasable area. We will be putting a demising wall in.)
■ Describe the brass cabinet? (Hess: It is a brass panel. Our Iogo and signage are routed out of that
panel and backed up with a piece of plexiglass and then it's lit from the interior. It is a light cabinet
but people would only see the brass panel.)
■ Concerned about the scale of the storefront. Sephora is great, it's bright, but it's tall. Similarly, the
Pottery Barn/Banana Republic stores across the street the storefronts are tall, the scale is massive.
As you work your way up from this store, at the jewelers and Mingalaba the awnings are down at a
nice scale, but here the storefront is pushed really tall. Understandable to want to have presence
and light, but in the rendering it looks like the doors are going to be between 9 and 10 feet tall. How
tall will they be? (Hess: 12 feet to the underside of the awning. Typically we'd want a minimum of
30 inches for signage, so doors would be about 10'h feet.)
■ The doors to the office (next door to the right) and the jewelers have nice scale, with the transoms
above. Then there are awnings as you work your way up the street.
■ Could bring the awning lower and have windows up high to let light into the deep recesses of the
store — a typical storefront design. Or possibly introduce a secondary awning at an 8-foot height and
still have the glass doors — it could be a relatively thin horizontal band.
■ It feels massive. We have made that mistake and let that happen on other storefronts, and we need
to stop making that mistake. We need to look at this relative to the other storefronts in the
neighborhood.
■ Likes idea of bringing the awning down. The awning line of the jeweler and Mingalaba are
consistent — this would bring it down to a more pedestrian level.
■ Understand the need to have the brand and presence. Not looking for a canvas-type awning, it
could be sleek and contemporary and modern. If the awning was down at the proper scale it would
really help with the storefront feel along that street. (Hess: The door to the office next door is a very
small door. Would not want to hold it to that height).
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANN/NG COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes June 10, 2013
Just looking for a bit of better scale. Could still have nice 8-foot doors. Does not need to be down at
6'-8", does not even need to be down at 7 feet. Just looking for better scale to represent the
building, right now it looks like a tall rectangle into the space and looks stark.
Ron Karp, Burlingame, represented the property owner:
■ Door of office building next door will be modified to match Kate Spade. It is consistent with the store
across the street, which is rectangular and glass as well.
■ With all the work being done with the streetscape, trying to bring in some higher quality and better
retailers to Burlingame Avenue. This is the first major corporate tenant we've had on Burlingame
Avenue since Banana Republic.
■ Not yet sure what will be in the back area. Might be storage for the present jeweler or something
else, but this is not what is being addressed tonight.
■ Requests to preserve the right to keep the food service use for the property (per the Ordinance) to
possibly use for the back area and/or the jeweler. Precedent from retaining restaurant use from La
Pinata (now Sephora) to later allow Cherimoya on Lorton Avenue.
■ One possibility is the back area may continue to be a specialty restaurant configured with the current
jewelry store. Not planned yet, just a possibility.
■ Building Official comment #8 needs to be clarified that is only applies to the subject tenant space,
not the entire building. (Hurin: Will clarify. It is only meant for the subject tenant space.)
Commission questions and comments:
■ Wants to make sure the area in the back would not be a storage space that could be rented out
separately. A sandwich outlet in the back could be interesting. As we develop the downtown would
like to see some businesses on the back sides of those buildings. (Karp: There are people who are
interested in using the space for that, will come back for that at a later date. Will not be for rent as a
contractor's workshop to store things.) (Hurin: Could be storage as an expansion of another
adjacent business, but would not be allowed to be a separate stand-alone storage use.)
■ No problem with grandeur, or juxtaposition of the contemporary storefront with the rest of the
building. Just thinks there are ways to get a better scale and still get all of the grandeur and details
being talked about. Could be achieved with a little bit of revisiting.
■ Understands wanting to match scale of other storefronts, but example of Plant restaurant replaced
awnings of adjacent businesses to match. If came back with proposal to replace consistent
canopies on the whole building that were higher, would not have a problem with that. Thinks 10 feet
is fine if it is consistent across the building. (Karp: Intends to have adjacent office door match the
Kate Spade design. Planning to see what is approved for Kate Spade, then will make the office
door consistent. Jeweler will be changed to once the streetscape is completed, to be consistent with
Kate Spade as the landmark tenant. The jeweler will not be replacing the door but will be replacing
awnings.) (Hurin: Changes will come back as a Minor Design Review or Commercial Design
Review. Would encourage showing all changes in one application.)
■ (Karp: Could make approval of Kate Spade conditioned that door of 1209 (office door) be at the
same height and that the awning be at the same height, and that the awning of the jewelry store be
at the same elevation.)(Hurin: Those tenant spaces are not part of this application, unless they come
back and include that in the application.)
■ Doesn't think the door and canopy scale needs to be brought down just because the adjacent
spaces are lower.
■ Point is not the adjacent spaces, it is the scale of the street as a whole and human scale. In the
design guidelines for the downtown human scale is the emphasis. Not awnings twelve feet up in the
air, iYs awnings down at a human scale.
■ Functionally would not want awnings of Mingalaba and the jewelry store up high because there is a
functional purpose for the awnings. If it's raining people can stand under the awnings for some
2

protection — if they are up high it does not accomplish anything. Would not want to raise everything
up to the Kate Spade level.
There are ways to add secondary awnings or secondary pieces that add human scale and still get
the grandeur. It's the human scale of the whole downtown.
Public comments:
None.
There were no comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Chair Sargent opened the public hearing for additional Commission questions of the applicant:
Is there variety between stores, or is there a signature look in every store? (Hess: The Santa
Monica store had a bulkhead that was part of the space and the materials were applied to it. On the
other example the opening of the store is much wider but the height is similar. Our preferred design
is to have the sign right over the doors. The other example shown is in Huntington, NY on Long
Island and is more similar to what is being proposed here.)
There were no further comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commission comments:
■ Not sure if canopy needs to come down. Thinking of Union Square and other more urban places,
it's exciting. It's not just a mall storefront, it feels more like a city.
■ Part of commercial design review is making sure it ties into neighboring buildings.
■ Anthropologie is a good example: is tall but has elements to give it a human scale. When it was
reviewed the Commission looked at the issue of the scale. They introduced a secondary line at
about 8 feet. Still had a tall storefront but the doors were at a more human scale.
■ Not looking for cookie-cutter 8-foot awnings, but based on the design guidelines are asking for
elements that are more at a human scale. On a storefront like this with a simple palate of items, it is
a bit more difficult to get that scale. Maybe an introduction of another element, just an introduction
of something to give a bit more scale but still get the grandeur and contemporary feel that they are
going for.
Commissioner Yie made a motion fo place the item on the Regular Action Calendar when complete.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gaul.
Discussion of motion:
Bringing it back for Regular Action will allow Commissioners to go out and look at this again. Can
look at the sca/e not just of the adjacenf buildings, but the who% block. Review with the downtown
design guidelines, which look af fhe downtown as a whole rather than individual pieces.
Chair Sargent called for a vote on the motion to place this item on the RegularAction Calendar when plans
have been revised as directed. The motion passed on a voice vote 7-0-0-0. The Planning Commission's
action is advisory and not appealable. This item concluded af 8:46 p.m.

The proposed storefront for the new Kate Spade on Burlingame
Avenue is a reflection of Kate Spade New York's signature bow print that
permeates our product and stores. The "bow" and the aqua color have
become an integral part of Kate Spade as a brand. It's transformation into
a grand scale bow strengthens our brand presence.
The bow storefront is intended to break up the monotony of a
standard retail storefront. The recessed entrance draws customers into
the store and creates a pausing point for window shopping.
We hope that you will consider our storefront a welcome addition to
the Burlingame Avenue streetscape.

Follow-up comments:
6) Provide fully dimensioned plans.
The response was incomplete. P/ease fully dimension the floor plan.
13) On your plans provide a table that includes the following:
c. Allowable area
Provide the allowable area for this occupancy group and type based on
Table 503.
d. Proposed area
Provide the total calculated floor area for this tenant space.
15) Illustrate compliance with the minimum plumbing fixture requirements described
in the 2010 California Plumbing Code, Chapter 4, Table 4-1 Minimum Plumbing
Facilities and Table A- Occupant Load Factor.
The 2010 California Plumbing Code requires separate toilet facilities for each
sex when the "total floor area" is more than 1500 square feef. The tota/ floor
area of this proposed tenant space is approximately 1675 square feet, not 1275
as stated. On the plans indicate that a separate bathroom will be provided for
each sex.
16) Separate toilet facilities are required for each sex, except:
a. Residential occupancies
b. Occupancies serving ten or fewer people may have a toilet facility for use
by more than one person at a time, shall be permitted for use by both
sexes.
c. Business and Mercantile occupancies with 1500 square feet or less may
have a toilet facility for use by no more than one person at a time, shall be
permitted for use by both sexes. 2010 CPC §412.3
This project does not qualify for exception a, b, or c. On the plans
indicate that a separate bathroom will be provided for each sex.
17) Show compliance with all accessibility regulations found in the 2010 CBC for
existing buildings including:
a. Specify a level landing, slope, and cross slope on each side of the door at
all required entrances and exits.
No response found to this comment.
c. Accessible bathrooms
Because a bathroom is required for each sex, provide dimensioned
details on the plans which show that both bathrooms will be fully
accessible.
NOTE: A written response to the items noted here and plans that specifically
address items 6, 13, 15, 16, and 17 must be re-submitted before this project can
move forward for Planning CommissiQrr� action.

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.
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.
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.

Commercial Design Review
Address: 1207 Burlingame Avenue
Item No. 7
Design Review Study
Meeting Date: June 10, 2013
Request: Application for Commercial Design Review for changes to the fa�ade of an existing commercial
building.
Applicant: Karen Hess, Kate Spade APN: 029-204-050
Architect: Joseph Park, TPG Architecture Lot Area: 4,500 SF
Property Owner: 1207 1211 Burlingame Avenue LLC Zoning: BAC
General Plan: Burlingame Downtown SpeciTic Plan: Burlingame Avenue Commercial District
Project Description: This application is for proposed changes to the fa�ade of an existing commercial building
located at 1207 Burlingame Avenue, zoned BAC (Burlingame Avenue Commercial). The tenant space was most
recently occupied by Round Table Pizza and is currently vacant. Kate Spade, a retail business which sells
women's clothing and accessories, will be occupying the space. The propose�' retail business is a permitted use
in the BAC zoning district.
With this application, changes are proposed to the fa�ade of the existing building along Burlingame Avenue.
This project is subject to Commercial Design Review because it includes changes to the front fa�ade of a
storefront located in the BAC zoning district.
The existing tenant frontage contains tile, brick and a horizontal stucco band above a glazed aluminum storefront
system. A wall sign and fabric awning are located above the storefront windows and recessed entry door.
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing storefront window/door system, tile under the storefront
windows, awning and wall sign with a new storefront design. The new storefront design includes a ceramic
stone finish base and an aluminum framed glass storefront system with a new mirror finish polished brass
cabinet above the double swing glass entry doors. As noted on sheet A-3, the glass storefront system angles
inward to the recessed entry doors. A new canvas awning is proposed above the glass storefront. The existing
tile and brick cladding surrounding the new storefront will remain and be repaired as necessary.
Personal and retail services on the first floor in the BAC zoning district are exempt from vehicle parking
requirements as set forth in code section 25.70.090 (a). Therefore, no additional off-street parking is required for
the proposed retail use. The following application is required:
■ Commercial Design Review for changes to the fa�ade of an existing commercial storefront in the BAC
Zoning District (CS 25.32.045).
Staff comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Marshal, City Engineer, Parks
Supervisor and Stormwater Coordinator.
Planning staff would note that the proposed retail use is replacing Round Table Pizza, an existing food
establishment classified as a specialty shop food establishment. A condition of approval for the conditional use
permit granted to Round Table Pizza in 2000 notes "that if this site is changed from any food establishment use
to any retail or other use, a food establishment shall nAt be replaced on this site and this conditional use permit
shall become void." Therefore, with this application, the conditional use permit granted for a specialty shop food
establishment will become void. However, staff would note that under current zoning regulations for the BAC
zoning district, a conditional use permit application could be considered for a full service food establishment in
the future, but no other type of food establishment would be allowed.

The proposed storefront for the new Kate Spade on Burlingame
Avenue is a reflection of Kate Spade New York's signature bow print that
permeates our product and stores. The "bow" and the aqua color have
become an integral part of Kate Spade as a brand. It's transformation into
a grand scale bow strengthens our brand presence.
The bow storefront is intended to break up the monotony of a
standard retail storefront. The recessed entrance draws customers into
the store and creates a pausing point for window shopping.
We hope that you will consider our storefront a welcome addition to
the Burlingame Avenue streetscape.

Staff Review:
Follow-up comments:
6) Provide fully dimensioned plans.
The response was incomplete. Please fully dimension the floor p/an.
13) On your plans provide a table that includes the following:
c. Allowable area
Provide the allowable area for this occupancy group and type based on
Table 503.
d. Proposed area
Provide the tofal calculafed f/oor area for this tenant space.
15) Illustrate compliance with the minimum plumbing fixture requirements described
in the 2010 California Plumbing Code, Chapter 4, Table 4-1 Minimum Plumbing
Facilities and Table A- Occupant Load Factor.
The 2010 California Plumbing Code requires separafe toilet facilities for each
sex when the "fotal f/oor area" is more than 1500 square feet. The fota/ floor
area of this proposed tenant space is approximately 1675 square feet, not 1275
as stated. On the plans indicate that a separate bathroom will be provided for
each sex.
16) Separate toilet facilities are required for each sex, except:
a. Residential occupancies
b. Occupancies serving ten or fewer people may have a toilet facility for use
by more than one person at a time, shall be permitted for use by both
sexes.
c. Business and Mercantile occupancies with 1500 square feet or less may
have a toilet facility for use by no more than one person at a time, shall be
permitted for use by both sexes. 2010 CPC §412.3
This projecf does not qualify for exception a, b, or c. On the plans
indicate that a separate bathroom will be provided for each sex.
17) Show compliance with all accessibility regulations found in the 2010 CBC for
existing buildings including:
a. Specify a level landing, slope, and cross slope on each side of the door at
all required entrances and exits.
No response found to this comment.
c. Accessible bathrooms
Because a bathroom is required for each sex, provide dimensioned
details on the plans which show that both bathrooms will be fully
accessible.
NOTE: A written response to the items noted here and plans that specifically
address items 6, 13, 15, 16, and 17 must be re-submitted before this project can
move forward for Planning Commissip�rr� action.

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.
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.
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.
