Conditional Use Permit and Parking Variance
for a Full Service Food Establishment
Address: 1205 Broadway
Item # ��
Consent Calendar
Meeting Date: 12/11/06
Request: Conditional use permit amendment and parking variance for an addition and increase in seating
area of an existing full service food establishment in the Broadway Commercial Area.
Applicant: Orhan Kurt APN: 026-193-010
Property Owner: Lenci Farkas Trustee Lot Area: 5,500 SF
Architect: Arnie Gapesin, A&T Design Group
General Plan: Shopping and Service Zoning: C-1, Broadway Commercial Area
Adjacent Development: Retail, Personal Services and Food Establishments
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 - Existing Facilities, Class 1(e)(1),
Additions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50 %
of the floor area before the addition, or 2500 SF, whichever is less.
Existing Use: Full service food establishment (Rocca Ristorante)
Proposed Use: Same as existing
Allowable Use: Food establishment with a conditional use permit
History: On September 12, 2005, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit and parking
variance for a new, full service food establishment, Rocca Ristorante, at 1205 Broadway, zoned C-1,
Broadway Commercial Area (September 12, 2005, P.C. Minutes). This new food establishment was one of
five food establishments permitted by Ordinance 1758, which allowed up to five additional food
establishments at any location in the Broadway Commercial Area. This food establishment is currently in
operation.
Summary: The applicant is proposing a first floor addition and an increase in the seating area of an
existing full-service food establishment, Rocca Ristorante, at 1205 Broadway, zoned C-1, Broadway
Commercial Area. The existing food establishment measures 2,501 SF (1,849 SF on the first floor and 652
SF on the second floor). The first floor (1,849 SF) currently contains the dining area, kitchen, food
preparation, wash area, freezer/cooler and restrooms. The second floor (652 SF) currently is used to
support the food establishment and contains freezers and storage for liquor and dry goods.
The full service food establishment was originally approved with 850 SF of seating area all located on the
first floor. The applicant is now proposing to expand seating to the second floor (352 SF) in an area
previously approved as storage. The total on-site seating would increase from 850 SF to 1,202 SF. The
applicant is also proposing a first floor addition at the rear of the building (255 SF). The addition would
expand the existing kitchen and relocate an existing walk-in cooler and storage area previously provided on
the mezzanine. The addition would contain concrete walls to match the existing concrete wall at the rear of
the building. There are no changes proposed to the front fa�ade of the building. This project is not subject
to commercial design review because the tenant space width is less than 25'-0".
The Building and Fire Departments note that because the occupant load on the second floor exceeds 10
persons, a second exit from the second floor is required. At least one of the exits is required to exit directly
1
`•r
�
Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Parking Variance 1205 Broadway
into a one-hour corridor, one-hour stairwell or directly to the exterior. In order to comply with this
requirement, a new metal exterior stairway is proposed at the rear of the building from the second floor to
the ground floor.
With the proposed increase in seating area, the full service food establishment will have approximately
1,202 SF of seating area (850 SF on the first floor and 352 SF on the second floor). Tables will be
provided as well as a limited service bar (5 seats). With this application, there are no changes proposed to
the number of employees, customers expected to visit the site and hours of operation. The business will
have a maximum of 4 full-time and 4 part-time employees on weekdays and 5 full-time and 5 part-time
employees on weekends. The applicant projects a total of 50 customers per day on weekdays and 80
customers per day on weekends. In the future, the applicant anticipates a total of 75 customers per day on
weekdays and 105 customers per day on weekends. A maximum of 70 people are expected on site at any
one time, including the owner, employees and customers. The food establishment will be open seven days a
week, from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
This site is nonconforming since it has no on-site parking. A parking variance was approved in September,
2005 (0 on-site parking spaces provided where 4 parking spaces are required for the intensification of use).
Additional on-site parking is now required for the addition on the ground floor and for the intensification of
use on the second floor from storage (1:1000 SF parking ratio) to food establishment (1:200 SF parking
ratio) (CS 25.70.010, a and b). The proposed expanded food establishment requires a total of 4 additional
on-site parking spaces. Therefore, a parking variance is required for 4 additional parking spaces (8 total
parking spaces required for existing and addition; 0 on-site parking spaces provided). Staff would note that
public parking is available on the street and in neighboring public Lots P(27 stalls), Q(24 stalls), and Y
(55 stalls). The following applications are required:
Conditional use permit amendment to increase the seating area of an existing full-service food
establishment in the Broadway Commercial Area from 850 SF to 1,202 SF of on-site seating area;
and
Parking variance for a first floor addition (0 on-site parking spaces provided; 4 space parking
variance previously approved; 4 space parking variance now required for additional storage on the
ground floor and an intensification of use from storage to food establishment on the second floor)
(CS 25.70.010, a and b).

Study Meeting: At the November 13, 2006, Planning Commission study meeting, the Commission had
several questions regarding the proposed exterior stairway and voted to place this item on the consent
calendar when the questions were answered (November 13, 2006, P.C. Minutes). The applicant submitted
revised plans, date stamped November 27, 2006, to address the Commissioners' questions. Below is a list
of those questions and the applicant's response:

metal.

The applicant provided sections and details of the exit stairs (revised sheet A-3P). The Chief
Building Official reviewed the revised plans and noted that the configuration and design of the exit
stairway complies with the basic requirements and that the details will be reviewed at time of
building permit submittal.

Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Parking Variance 1205 Broadway
Required Findings for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment: In order to grant a conditional use
permit amendment for a full service food establishment, the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020 a-c):
(a) the proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or
improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general
welfare, or convenience;
(b) the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general
plan and the purposes of this title;
(c) the Planning Commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems
necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner
compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining
properties in the general vicinity.
Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's November
13, 2006, study meeting, that City Council adopted Ordinance 1758 on July 5, 2005, which allowed this
food establishment to be located in the Broadway Commercial Area, that the amendment to increase the
seating area by 352 SF on the second floor represents a minor increase in total seating area and is consistent
in operation with other existing full service food establishments in the Broadway Commercial Area; that
the use will not be detrimental to the city's obj ective of promoting pedestrian oriented retail activity in this
commercial area because it is within the city approved number and therefore will be in compliance with the
general plan for the area; and since the business shall be required to comply with all the city regulations
including providing trash receptacles and litter maintenance in the surrounding area, signage, meeting
building code requirements, disabled accessiblity, and adhering to County health requirements, the
operation will be compatible with the public's health and safety as well as with the character of the existing
commercial area.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a parking variance the Planning Commission must find
that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
involved that do not apply generally to property in the same district;
b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship;
c) the granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in
the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience;
and
d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of
existing and potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.

Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Parking Variance 1205 Broadway
Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's November
13, 2006, study meeting, that the existing building was originally built without on-site parking and with the
existing structure, there is no additional space on the lot to add more parking spaces, that with this
application the on-site seating area is being increased by 352 SF which represents a minor increase in
seating area, that 255 SF first floor addition at the rear of the building would not contain customer seating
but would expand the existing kitchen and relocate an existing walk-in cooler and storage area previously
provided on the mezzanine, and that the City Council action to add more food establishments was based on
an economic need in the Broadway Commercial Area to promote pedestrian oriented retail activity in this
commercial area and was supported by the merchants in the Broadway commercial area, the project is
found to be compatible with the variance criteria listed above.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative
action should be taken by resolution and should include findings for the conditional use permit amendment
and parking variance. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated for the record. At the public
hearing the following conditions should be considered:

stamped November 27, 2006, sheets A-1S, A-1P, A-2P, A-3P and A-EP;
2. that this business location to be occupied by a full service food establishment, with 1,202 SF of
seating area (850 SF on first floor and 352 SF on second floor), may change its food establishment

for the establishment, and the criteria for the new classification shall be met in order for a change to
be approved;
3. that the 1,202 SF area of on-site seating (850 SF on first floor and 352 SF on second floor) of the
full service food establishment shall be enlarged or extended to any other areas within the tenant
space only by an amendment to this conditional use permit;
4. that the parking variance shall only apply to this 2,756 SF tenant space and the food establishment
use with 1,202 SF of on-site seating and shall become void if the use of the tenant space is changed
or the food establishment use is ever expanded, demolished or destroyed by catastrophe or natural
disaster or for replacement;
5. that the full service food establishment may be open for business seven days a week, from 11:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with a maximum of 5 full-time and 5 part-time employees on site at any one
time, including the business owner and manager;
6. that this food establishment shall provide trash receptacle(s) as approved by the city consistent with
the streetscape improvements and maintain all trash receptacle(s) at the entrances to the building
and at any additional locations as approved by the City Engineer and Fire Department;

PARHING VARIANCE APPLICATION FOR 1205 BROADWAY
a. This property is similar to other properties located on Broadway
Street.
b. This tenant is only adding few more seating spaces to an existing
restaurant. When the previous application was submitted, the
proposed parking spaces did not meet the city's parking
requirements and a variance was applied for and granted. The site is
very limited and adding parking spaces is not possible.
Without the variance, this thriving business will stagnate. Presently
there is a metered parking lot behind an adjacent building as well as
parking along Broadway and the side streets. Finding a parking
space is not difficult in this area.
c. The proposed usage is already conducted in accordance with an
approved use as a restaurant establishment. Adding modest
additional seating capacity of sixteen chairs will not be detrimental
or injurious. This is an upscale restaurant attracting a refined
clientele. This will not increase the impact on the fire and police
departments.
d. The proposed project will not affect the aesthetics, mass, bulk, and
character of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in
the general vicinity. The physical appearance will not change from
the exterior. This seating addition will only affect the interior space.
This additional use will compliment the already existing use and the
other businesses on Broadway and improve the business and social
climate.

1) The two required exits must be at least one half the diagonal distance apart.
2) The exit plan is unclear. Provide a clear and detailed exit plan that shows two paths
of travel from each occupied space to the public right of way. It is unclear that the gates
at the rear are part of the required second means of egress.

1) All construction must comply with the 2001 California Building Codes (CBC), the Burlingame
Municipal and Zoning Codes, and all other State and Federal requirements.
2) Provide fully dimensioned plans.
3) Provide a complete demolition plan that indicates the existing walls, walls to be demolished,
new walls, and a legend. NOTE: The Demolition Permit will not be issued until a Building
Permit is issued for the project.
4) Comply with the new, 2005 California Energy Efficiency Standards for low-rise non-residential
buildings. Go to http://www.enerpy.ca.gov/title24 for publications and details.
5) The area labeled mezzanine does not comply with the requirements for a mezzanine. "All
portions of a mezzanine shall be open and unobstructed to the room in which they are
located, except for columns and posts and protective walls or railings not more than 44 inches
in height." Therefore this area is considered a second floor and, as such, a second exit must
be provided. In addition, the Building Code requires two exits from the second floor when the
occupant load is 10 or more.
6) Provide guardrails at all landings. NOTE: All landings more than 30" in height at any point are
considered in calculating the allowable floor area. Consult the Planning Department for details
if your project entails landings more than 30" in height.
7) Provide handrails at all stairs where there are four or more risers.
8) Provide lighting at all exterior landings.
9) Provide an exit plan showing the paths of travel.
10)NOTE: Plans that specifically address items 5 and 9 must be re-
submitted before this project can move forward for Planning
Commission action.

Second exit from the mezzanine is required due to occupant load exceeding 10
persons. Adc�iitionally, at least one of the exits from the mezzanine is required to exit
directly into a one-hour corridor, one-hour stairwell, or directly to the exterior. The
two exits sha11 be separated by more than one-half the diagonal length of the longest
portion of the mezzanine.
