Design Review Study
Meeting Date: June 22, 2009
Request: Application for Design Review, Floor Area Ratio Variance and Special Permits for Declining Height
Envelope and Basement for a first and second story addition to a single family dwelling and new
basement.
Applicant and Architect: TRG Architects
Property Owners: Brad and Roxann Loose
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 026-172-190
Lot Area: 6000 SF
Zoning: R-1
Project Description: The existing two-story house with an attached garage is nonconforming in floor area ratio
(FAR), containing 3,520 SF (0.58 FAR) of floor area (3020 SF, 0.50 FAR maximum allowed) and has four
bedrooms (the existing sunroom qualifies as a bedroom for parking purposes). With the proposed additions and
renovations on the first and second floors, there will be slight decrease in the existing nonconforming floor area
from 3,520 SF (0.58 FAR) to 3,506 SF (0.58 FAR) where 3,020 SF (0.50 FAR) is the maximum allowed.
However, a Floor Area Ratio Variance is required because the project involves substantial construction and with
the proposed alterations still exceeds the maximum allowed FAR by 486 SF.
The side setbacks along both the right and left property line have a nonconforming setback of 3'-0" where 4'-0" is
the minimum required. Portions of the existing second floor along the right and left side property lines extend
beyond the declining height envelope and therefore are an existing nonconforming condition. With the proposed
addition, there are finro additional minor encroachments into the declining height envelope. Along the right side
property line, the wall along the closet and bathroom in Bedroom #4 extends beyond the declining height
envelope by 4.6 SF (0'-4" x 14'-0" area); and along the left sjde property line, the proposed covered balcony off
Bedroom #3 at the front of the house extends beyond the declining height envelope by 3.75 SF (1'-6" x 2'-6"
area).
With this project, the applicant is proposing to add a new basement. Since the finished floorabove the proposed
basement is less than 2'-0" above existing grade, the 694 SF basement is exempt from floor area ratio (up to
700 SF inay be exempt). However, Special Permits are required for the basement ceiling height (8'-0" proposed
where 6'-6" is allowed without a Special Permit) and for a direct exit from the basement to the exterior of the
structure other than a light or window well (exterior stairway proposed along the left side of the house).
The existing house has four rooms which qualify as bedrooms. There will be no increase in the number of
bedrooms with the proposed addition/renovation. One covered parking space (10' x 20') and one uncovered
parking space (9' x 20') are required on site. The existing attached oversized one-car garage provides one
covered parking space (10' x 20') and one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. All
other Zoning Code requirements have also been met. The applicant is requesting the following:
■ Design Review for a first and second story addition (CS 25.57.010, a, 1);
■ Floor Area Ratio Variance for a first and second story addition (3520 SF, 0.58 FAR existing; 3506 SF,
0.58 FAR proposed; where 3020 SF, 0.50 FAR is the maximum allowed) (CS 25.28.070, a);
■ Special Permit for construction exceeding the limits of the declining height envelope along the right and
left side property lines (4.6 SF, 0'-4" x 14'-0" along the right side property line and 3.75 SF, 1'-6" x 2'-6"
along the left side property line) (CS 25.28.035, c);
■ Special Permit for a new basement with an interior ceiling height greater than 6'-6" (8'-0" proposed) (CS
25.28.035, fl; and
■ Special Permit for a direct exit from a basement to the exterior of the structure that is anything other than
a light or window well (exterior stairway proposed) (CS 25.28.035, g).

your property which do not apply to other properties in this area,
See aftached responses.
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right and what unreasonable property /oss or unnecessary
hardship might result from the denial of the application.
c. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvemenfs in fhe vicinity or to public health, safety,

VARIANCE APPLICATION FOR FLOOR AREA

nt.A�,lt �i?.G il�F1'.
a. This variance request is not to expand the FAR, but to retain the FAR tha#
already exists in this house. Prior to the 1990's, Burlingame had no FAR;
only lot coverage restrictions. This house, at 32.6% lot coverage, was well
within the limits. When the rules changed to 32% of the lot plus 1500 SF
for FAR, this house became 77 SF too big. Then when the rules changed
again to 32% of the lot plus 1100 SF, this house became 477 SF too big.
The house never changed, just the rules. Most of this overage is in the 2
car attached garage, but it's impossible to detach and move the garage of
this house. We are proposing to reduce the lot coverage to 29.5%. We are
proposing to reduce the living space by 74 SF (it is used in exterior
second floor decks). �
b. The variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights. The FAR and garage rules were implemented
after this house was built, and the garage cannot be moved. There are
also inherent inefficiencies created by the garage; the proposed plan has
just four bedrooms and no living room (only a family room), yet the house
is still over on FAR. Denial of the variance request would create an
unreasonable hardship; forcing the home owner to reduce their house by
477 SF with no viable way to accomplish it. Furthermore, this block is full
of newer homes built before the zoning changes; these houses are even
larger, with 1209 Bernal across the street, for example, at 3770SF.
c. 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. There is no change in the
proposed use at the proposed location, nor will there be any additional
impact caused to neighboring properties by this floor area variance
because it is an existing condition.
d. The proposed project will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk,
and character of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in
the general vicinity. The proposed floor area is an existing condition, and
the proposed remodel helps to redistribute the space in a less-bulky
manner. The floor area will help to accentuate the aesthetics and
character of the property.

SPECIAL PERMIT FOR DECLINING HEIGHT ENVELOPE -���' G� �-'��Er���'.rj�F
1208 BernalAvenue �I�r,�+�����=�=�F�.
1. The mass, scale, and dominant structural characteristics of the new
construction are consistent with the existing street and neighborhood.
There are a wide variety of houses on the street (in terms of style, mass,
� scale etc...) and the proposed Mediterranean style fits in nicely. The roof
lines are being revised to include more hip roafs (rather than gable roofs)
to lessen the impact of the front elevation. The area in which the exterior
exceeds the DHE is an existing condition, not a new one. In fact, the
amount of the DHE encroachment is being reduced with the proposed
design because a portion of the existing 2"d Floor above the garage is
being removed.
2. The rooflines, fa�ade, materials, and elevations of the proposal are similar
to that of other houses in the neighborhood. Stucco, wood, attached
garages, etc.... The roofline is varied and the fa�ade includes many
architectural details to enrich its character. The area in which the exterior
exceeds the Declining Height Envelope is an existing condition. There will
be no additional increase in the building mass to worsen the DHE.
3. 1. The architectural style is compatible with the character of the
neighborhood.
2. The attached.garage is being is maintained to be the same as existing
patterns and consistent with the neighborhood.
3. See items 1 and 2 above for comments about style,� mass and bulk.
4. A full landscaping plan is being provided, which will be a significant
improvement for the site.
4. There will be no trees removed for this project. One large tree in the front
property area will be maintained, and a new full landscape plan will be
introduced to enhance the landscape design: Please see the landscaping
plan for details. .

Subject: Question re: Planning FYI
Hi Ruben,
I've got a project on 1208 Bemal Avenue, Burlingame, in which the client wants to make two changes to the
approved Planning submittal. The changes are:
- changing all wood elements to painted wood (instead of stained wood) with the exception of three items: the garage
door, the front door and the garage door header beam will all remain stained wood.
- the windows (on each side of the fireplace) will be put back into the Family Room. The planning set was drawn and
approved with the windows originally in there, and then we applied for an FYI to take them out. Now the clients want
to put them back in. Please let me know if an FYI is necessary for this.
Please let me know if the above items warrant a Planning FYI, and if not, then will I be able to proceed directly to the
Building Dept for a revision of the items?
Thanks,

Hi Amanda,
Sorry I missed you today...thanks for dropping off the plans and Special Permit and Variance forms. The revised
plans have been routed to the Building Division for review — I'll probably hear back from them on Monday or
Tuesday.
Attached please find my comments...there are still a few minor items to take care of. They include the following:
■ On the building elevations, please provide size of architectural details such as balcony posts, corbels,
window sills/apron, attic vent (material and size), fascia, etc.
■ Show all walls to be demolished on existin floor plans.
■ Unless in an enclosed structure, the proposed pool equipment must be located at least 10'-0" from any
property line.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from the Building Division.
Thanks, Ruben

5. Building Height
Average top of curb: (100.10' + 99.78')/2 = 99.94'
Existing: 99.94' + 23.02' = 122.96' (23'-0" above average top of curb)
Proposed: 99.94' + 21.24' = 121.18' (21'-3" above average top of curb)
Allowed: 99.94' + 30' = 129.94' (30'-0" above average top of curb)
• The proposed project complies with overall building height regulations.
6. Declining Height Envelope (DHE)
Points of Departure - Left Side: (100.28' + 93.80')/2 = 97.04'
- Right Side: (100.08' + 95.26')/2 = 97.67'
