APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT FOR EXPANSION OF A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT AT 1210-1216 BURLINGAME AVENUE, ZONED, C-1, SUBAREA A (ARCHIE L. OFFIELD. PROPERTY OWNER AND RALF IVIELSEN, APPLICANT � Reference staff report, 8.12.96 with attachments. CP Monrce discussed the request, reviewed criteria, Planning Department comments, and study meeting questions. Nine conditions were suggested. Commissioners asked if the occupancy numbers had been reviewed by the Fire Department, yes; why is the future seating shown as a range; why were phasing plans not submitted for coordinating.this expansion with the seismic retrofit. Staff explained that phasing plans were not requested since at no time during the retroiit would the limits in terms of seating, use areas, or employees being requested here be exceeded. Chairman Ellis opened the public hearing. Ralph Nielson, 1210-1216 Burlingame Avenue, the applicant, spoke. He noted that this is their twentieth year at this location; the expansion was prompted by the retrofit, they had the choice of paying more for less space after ttYe retrofit or to , expand after the retrofit with the opportunity to have more flexibility during the retrofit construction period; the seating numbers are flexible at this time since they have not done a final layout; their objective is the improve the bakery with additional space for better display, get a real kitchen for the cafe and get better seating. Difference between high and low is 40 seats over existing that is a lot of seating; additional seating will beneiit people already in city who will go elsewhere to eat if th�re are no seats in the cafe, therefore they accommodate people already in the area. The maximum number of seats will be 110, if the applicant wishes the number may be fewer, not more. Applicant noted that any plans for the use of the bakery's parking spaces at the rear will have to meet with the approval of the landlord; applicant would like to designate two of these for customer's picking up items. The business does not intend to supply small bakeries elsewhere. Wayne Lassiter, 1208 Burlingame, spoke noting that he has no objection to the retrofit, in fact it benefits him. However, he notes that parking on this site obstructs a private easement at the rear of his property. His property fronts on Burlingame Avenue. The City Attorney noted that this is a private matter, not involving the city or this application. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. The commission discussed the application: the Chief Building Official noted the need to realign the parldng space for the door swing, it would be better to move the door away from the parking space; no problem with the expansion, this business has been at this location a long time unfortunate for it to go someplace else; many restaurants the same size have more than 110 seats, this would be one of the smaller on this block; the parking spaces at the back are hard to find, difficult to use, not a good place for customers to use, prefer available for deliveries or on site tenants. Commissioner Deal moved to approve the two special permits for food establishment expansion and take out, by resolution, with the conditions amending condition one to show that the door at the rear should be relocated in order to leave the parking space unobstructed and amending condition six -2- .s < • � Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes August 12, 1996 to state that the applicant shall supply two trash containers along the sidewalk. The conditions as revised follow: 1) that the project sha11 be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped 7une 24, 1996, Sheets 1, 2, A-1 and A-2 with the change that the door at the rear from the site into the parking be relocated so that it leaves the parking spaces unobstructed; 2) that the conditions of the Fire Marshal's 7une 24 and 7uly 15, 1996 memos and the Chief Building Inspector's 7uly 15, 1996 memo shall be met; 3) that a maximum of 3625 SF of the basement azea shall be used for a food assembly, the remaining 1875 SF shall be used for storage only; 4) that the hours of operation of the business shall not exceed the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p. m. daily, with a maximum number of employees of 17 on site at one time; 5) that seating on site, inside, shall not exceed 110 and seating outside shall conform to the requirements of any encroachment permit issued by the city; 6) that the applicant shall purchase and maintain at least once a day, more often if necessary, two trash receptacles placed on the sidewalk outside the building at a location approved by the City Engineer; these two trash receptacles sha11 be of the type approverl by the city as a part of the streetscape plan adopted by the City Council and shall be installed no later than January 1, 1997; 7) that all deliveries to this business shall be made from the Donnelly Avenue side of the premise; 8) that the applicant shall remove once a day or more frequently if the City determines it to be necessary, all debris on the sidewalk, on sidewalk tables fronting this premise, in the gutter and in planters 50 feet of the store; and 9) that t�ie project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes 1995 Edition as amended by the City and that any lack of compliance with these conditions or change to the business or use on the site which results in a change which would affect any one or more of these conditions shall require an amendment to this use permit. In discussion following the motion and its second, the Commissioners noted that it would be appropriate to designate the number of approved trash containers the applicant would be required to provide on the street, two was suggested, the maker of the motion and the second agreed to amend condition 6 to reflect this; there was further discuss of the phasing of the project, staff noted that after the expansion area was retrofitted, the cafe portion of the exisdng business would be moved in to the newly retrofitted area while they worked on the existing cafe azea. Thus, at no time during the retrofit process would the business exceed the limits of this request; moreover it can operate throughout the construction. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Galligan and approvetl on a voice vote 7-0. Appeal procedures were advised. 4 ClP SUATREA A(M. H.
