March 27, 2017 Environmental Scoping and Design Review Meeting: At the March 27, 2017, Planning
Commission environmental scoping and design review meeting, the Commission had several questions and
suggestions regarding this project (see attached March 27, 2017 Planning Commission Minutes) and one letter
from the public was received. Please refer to the attached meeting minutes and applicant's response letter
dated December 22, 2017, for detailed responses to the Commission's comments.
At the March 27, 2017 meeting, the Planning Commission had the following concerns:
• Is there justification for the variance for the delivery parking in front - too much is being placed on the
site, could end up as a normal parking space - look at moving this and address the landscaping deficit;
• Fire department shut-off needs to be shown on the plan, including screening;
Will bicycle racks be provided?
Not all the plants from the plant list are shown on plans; and
Concerned about the noise from the lifts and metal roll -up doors.
In response, the applicant revised the plans and eliminated the need for the front setback landscape variance
by relocating the delivery vehicle parking to the rear. Information has been provided regarding the timing and
noise anticipated from the mechanical parking lifts. The plans have been revised to be consistent with the
proposed plant list, as well as to show the fire department shut-off with screening. The unit at the rear, unit #1,
has been slightly reconfigured to allow for a trash enclosure at the rear of the building and to provide more
common open space in the rear yard. This change resulted in unit #1 and unit #2 sharing an entry so that the
outside door and stairs up to the second level are common, and they each have their own front entrance door
at the top of the stairs. The applicant will be providing a sample of the Hardie shingle proposed on the exterior
and has provided the addresses of two locations where Hardie shingles are used. Please refer to the
applicant's response letter, dated December 22, 2017, for a full list of the changes made to the plans in
response to the comments from the March 27, 2017 Environmental Scoping and Design Review Study
meeting.

Project Summary: The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing 4-unit apartment building and the
detached garage structure at the rear and construct a new, three-story, 6-unit residential condominium
building. The subject property is zoned R-3 and has a General Plan land use designation of Medium -High
Mitigated Negative Declaration, Design Review, Condominium Permit, 1431 El Camino Real
Parking Variance and Tentative Condominium Map
Density residential with 21-50 dwelling units per acre, which allows up to 8 units. The application is for 6 units
which is a density of 35 dwelling units per acre.
The proposed condominium building will have 6 units side by side and will be 3-stories. Each unit will have a
ground level parking garage that will include a mechanical automobile stacker. The garage will have a 13'-3"
plate height to accommodate 2 covered parking spaces; one on top of the other. There will be two living levels
located above the garage. The overall proposed height is 35 feet. There will be 2 at -grade, guest parking
spaces located in the right rear corner. There is also a dedicated service/delivery vehicle space located in the
rear yard area. The entrance to each of the units is located on the north facing (driveway) side of the project.
The project includes 6 two -bedroom, 2.5 bathroom condominium units. The average unit size proposed is
1,097 SF, with the units ranging from 1,064 SF through 1,195 SF. Condominium projects are required to
provide 100 SF of common open space per unit and a minimum of 75 SF of private open space per unit. The
proposed project meets these requirements with 608 SF of common open space in the rear yard and a
minimum of 75 SF of private open space per unit with private balconies. The unit break down on size and open
space is provided on sheet A0.3.
The following applications are required for this project:
■ Design Review for construction of a new three-story, 6-unit condominium building (C.S. 25.28.020);
■ Condominium Permit (Tentative Condominium Map) required for construction of new condominium
building (C.S. 26.30.020)' and
■ Parking Variance for the use of mechanical parking lifts to provide the required parking spaces (C.S.
25.70.032).
General Plan and Zoning: The Burlingame General Plan designates the subject properties as Medium -High
Density residential with 21-50 dwelling units per acre. The proposal of 6 units is 35 units per acre and is
consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The R-3 zoning district allows multi -family residential
uses by right and the development standards are summarized in the table below.
The subject property itself is not identified as a historic resource however it is located along a portion of El
Camino Real that contains the Howard -Ralston Eucalyptus Tree Rows, which was listed on the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2011. The Howard -Ralston Eucalyptus Tree Row is a 1.76-mile-long
landscaping effort dating from 1873 to 1876 that consists of a row of trees lining each side of the historic El
Camino Real in Burlingame. There are two young elm trees located in the planter strip in front of the subject
property, within the Caltrans right-of-way that contribute to the Howard -Ralston Eucalyptus Tree Rows. The
project proposes to relocate one tree within this historic tree row so it is not adversely affected during widening
of the driveway. The project has an action plan (ESA - Environmentally Sensitive Area) to ensure that
relocation of the tree does not impact this resource.
Off -Street Parking/Parking Variance Request: Code Section 25.70.032 requires parking based on the
number of bedrooms. Each 2 bedroom unit is required to provide 2 off-street parking spaces, 80% of which
must be covered spaces. The proposed project will provide 12 on -site parking spaces that will be provided in
the form of mechanical, stacked auto lifts (parking lifts). The subject property is not located within the
boundaries of the plan area for the Downtown Specific Plan, where parking options, such as lifts, are allowed
by right. Therefore a parking variance is required for the parking lifts; a variance application is included as part
of this application.
Code Section 25.30.070 (a)(2) requires 2 on -site guest parking spaces for new condominium projects with 5-15
units. The two guest parking spaces meet all dimensional standards and are located in the right rear corner of
the property. In addition, Code Section 25.30.070(a)(3) requires one on -site service and/or delivery vehicle
K

Parking Variance and Tentative Condominium Map
space, which is provided in the rear setback. All of the on -site parking will be accessed from a 12-foot wide
driveway.
The Municipal Code does not include specifications for parking lifts, so the City currently does not have a
standard mechanism for review and approval. For properties located within the boundaries of the Downtown
Specific Plan, the Plan includes language that encourages "creative approaches" to providing on -site parking
including parking lifts, therefore parking variances are not required. However the subject property is not located
within the boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan and therefore a variance is required to request the
required off-street parking spaces be provided in the form of mechanical parking lifts. The parking lifts could be
considered a mitigation measure for the requested parking variance.
The traffic study that was prepared as part of the environmental review notes that the increase from the four
existing apartments to six condominiums will result in approximately eight net new daily trips, with one new trip
in the AM peak hour and one new trip in the PM peak hour.
Common and Private Open Space: The total common open space proposed for the condominium project is
608 SF which meets the minimum requirement of 100 SF (600 SF for the site). Of the minimum required
common open space, 50% must be in soft landscaping (minimum of 300 SF of soft landscaping required); 521
SF within the common open space is proposed to be landscaped and therefore is in compliance. There is 75
SF to 80 SF in private open space per unit (75 SF/unit is the minimum required) provided in balconies. The
code requires no dimension less than 3'-6" feet for private open space areas above the ground floor and all
balconies comply.
Landscaping: Code section 26.30.070(e)(1)) requires that 50% of the front setback be landscaped. The
applicant is proposing 56.9% (586 SF) landscaping in the front yard where 50% (514 SF) is the minimum
required. The project meets all other zoning code and condominium permit requirements.
There are current no trees located on the subject property, just the two elms located in the planter strip in the
Caltrans right-of-way. The applicant is proposing to plant two 36-inch box size Bingko biloba (Maidenhair
trees), one 36-inch box size Pin Oak (Quercus palusris) along with nine 15-gallon trees. In addition the
landscape plan includes various species of trees shrubs and small plantings throughout the site (see
Landscape Plans, sheets L1.1.
There are two young elm trees located within the planter strip in front of the subject property. As identified in
the Historic Resources Compliance Report (HRCR) prepared as part of the CEQA document and required by
Caltrans, while these trees are not Eucalyptus trees they do contribute to the Howard -Ralston Eucalyptus Tree
Rows, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The project proposes to relocate one tree (northern
most tree/right side) adjacent to the sidewalk within the Caltrans right-of-way. Because this tree is a contributor
to the NRHP-listed Howard -Ralston Eucalyptus Tree Rows it will be replanted directly south of its current
location to avoid any adverse effects to the resource. This will be done under the supervision of a licensed
arborist and in conjunction with the encroachment requirements set forth by Caltrans.

Public Facilities Impact Fee: The purpose of public facilities impact fee is to provide funding for necessary
maintenance and improvements created by development projects. Public facilities impact fees are based on
the uses, the number of dwelling units, and the amount of square footage to be located on the property after
completion of the development project.
New development that, through demolition or conversion, will eliminate existing development is entitled to a fee
credit offset if the existing development is a lawful use under this title, including a nonconforming use. Based
on a 6-unit residential condominium project and providing a credit for the existing four residential units, the
estimated Public Impact Fee for this development project is: $11,074.00 (see table below). The Public Impact
Fees payments are required as follows: 50% of the fee shall be submitted prior to issuance of building permit
($5,537.00) and 50% of the fee due before final framing inspection ($5,537.00).

Planning staff would note the additional fees that apply to the project that will be required at the time of building
permit issuance include sewer connection fees (determined by Public Works) as well as school fees
(elementary and high school fees).
Mitigated Negative Declaration: Since the project includes construction of more than four units (6 units
proposed), the project is subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Planning
Commission held an environmental scoping session for this project on March 27, 2017 in conjunction with
design review study (refer to attached March 27, 2017 Planning Commission Minutes). Dudek was retained as
the CEQA consultant to prepare an Initial Study. Based on the Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration
has been prepared for review by the Planning Commission. As presented the Mitigated Negative Declaration
identified issues that were 'less than significant with mitigation incorporation" in the areas of cultural resources
and noise. Based upon the mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study, it has been determined that the
proposed project can be addressed by a Mitigated Negative Declaration since the Initial Study did not identify
adverse impacts which could not be reduced to acceptable levels by mitigation.

The subject property has two elms trees located in the planter strip in front of the property that are part of the
Howard -Ralston Tree Rows which is on the National Registrar of Historic places. Because one of the elm trees
(on the right) needs to be relocated a few feet to the left (south) in order to accommodate the new driveway, as
part of the CEQA process the applicant was required to have a Historic Resources Compliance Report (HRCR)
prepared along with an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) action plan and a Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties or (SOIS plan). These documents are required to be
submitted to Caltrans as part of their encroachment permit review process and are attached as appendices in
the CEQA document.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for public review on December 6, 2017. The 30-day review
period ended on January 4, 2018. There were two comment letters received during the review period: one from
a tenant in the existing apartment building and one from Caltrans. A copy of each of these letters along with a
response to each comment can be viewed in the attached Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration,
prepared by Dudek, dated January 2018, pages 1- 1 through 3-2.
The purpose of the present review is to hold a public hearing and evaluate that this conclusion, based on the
Initial Study, facts in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, public comments and testimony received at the
hearing, and Planning Commission observation and experience, are consistent with the finding of no significant
environmental impact. The mitigation measures in the Initial Study have been incorporated into the
recommended conditions of approval (see conditions in italics).
Required Findings for a Mitigated Negative Declaration: For CEQA requirements the Planning Commission
must review and approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration, finding that on the basis of the Initial Study and
any comments received in writing or at the public hearing that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant (negative) effect on the environment.
Suggested Findings for Mitigated Negative Declaration: In accordance with CEQA Guidelines
Section 15183, the environmental analysis in the Initial Study was conducted to determine if there were
any project -specific effects that are peculiar to the project or its site. Based on the environmental
analysis, it was determined that the proposed project would have no adverse environmental impacts on
the environmental in the areas of aesthetics, agriculture resources, air quality, biological resources,
geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, land use and
planning, mineral resources, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation/traffic
and utilities and service systems. Although the environmental analysis did find that the project could
have a significant effect in the areas of cultural resources and noise, mitigation measures were
identified to reduce adverse impacts to acceptable levels. Therefore, based on the Initial Study there
will be no significant environmental effects as a result of this project.
Design Review: Design review is required for new construction of multi -family residential developments in the
R-3 and R-4 Districts. The following considerations shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission (Code
Section 25.57.010(b):
(1) Compatibility with the existing character of the neighborhood;
(2) Respect the mass and fine scale of adjacent buildings even when using differing architectural styles;
(3) Maintain the tradition of architectural diversity, but with human scale regardless of the architectural style
used; and
(4) Incorporate quality materials and thoughtful design which will last into the future.
Mitigated Negative Declaration, Design Review, Condominium Permit,
Parking Variance and Tentative Condominium Map
1431 El Camino Real
Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the proposed condominium building will be compatible
with the existing character of the neighborhood with the use of a variety of quality materials including
Hardie shingle siding, cement plaster, horizontal wood railings, and composite wood windows with
metal trim. The new three-story building respects the mass and scale of this portion of El Camino Real
which has a mix of two and three-story multifamily residential buildings with a variety of architectural
styles. The building includes an articulated front fagade that provides visual interest. For these reasons
the project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
Criteria for Permitting a Residential Condominium: The following condominium standards shall apply to all
land and structures proposed as a part of a condominium project and shall be evaluated and processed
pursuant to the procedural requirements set forth for conditional use permits in Title 25 of this code. No
condominium project or portion thereof shall be approved or conditionally approved in whole or in part unless
the planning commission, or city council upon appeal or review, has reviewed the following on the basis of their
effect on:
(a) Sound community planning; the economic, ecological, social and aesthetic qualities of the community;
and on public health, safety and general welfare;
(b) The overall impact on schools, parks, utilities, neighborhoods, streets, traffic, parking and other
community facilities and resources; and
(c) Conformity with the general plan and density permitted by zoning regulations.
Suggested Findings for Condominium Permit:
Sound community planning, the economic, ecological, social and aesthetic qualities of the
community, and on public health, safety and general welfare in that the 6-unit residential
condominium project is scaled to be compatible with existing multifamily buildings along El
Camino Real and in the neighboring single family residential neighborhood and features ample
landscaping with usable common open space;
The overall impact on schools, parks, utilities, neighborhoods, streets, traffic, parking and other
community facilities and resources in that with the mitigations designed into the project in the
Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration have found there will be no significant impacts;
and
Conformity with the general plan and density permitted by zoning regulations, in that the project
provides two additional residential units (6 total) consistent with the applicable general plan and
zoning designations.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a 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
7
Mitigated Negative Declaration, Design Review, Condominium Permit, 1431 El Camino Real
Parking Variance and Tentative Condominium Map
(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.
Suggested Variance Findings (Parking Variance for the use of mechanical parking lifts to provide the
required parking spaces): The project has been designed to meet the common open space
requirements, service delivery space requirement as well as to provide two guest parking space
therefore limiting the amount of space available to provide required parking for all of the dwelling units.
The use of mechanical parking lifts reduces the square footage demands for the site and will not be
visible to the public, with no impact on aesthetics. The midblock location of the property on El Camino
Real provides no alternatives for overflow parking for residents or visitors for this site. The use of
mechanical parking lifts guarantees that each unit can fit two vehicles on the property. The site provides
the code required driveway and circulation space to allow adequate queuing and maneuverability in
and out of the lifts. For these reasons, the proposed project may be found to be compatible with the
Variance criteria.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action on
the following items should be taken separately by resolution including the conditions representing mitigation for
the Mitigated Negative Declaration (in italics below) and any conditions from the staff report and/or that the
commissioners may add. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated.
1. Mitigated Negative Declaration.
2. Design Review, Condominium Permit and Parking Variance.
3. Tentative Condominium Map.
Please note that the conditions below include mitigation measures taken from the mitigated negative
declaration (shown in italics). If the Commission determines that these conditions do not adequately address
any potential significant impacts on the environment, then an Environmental Impact Report would need to be
prepared for this project. The mitigations will be placed on the building permit as well as recorded with the
property and constitute the mitigation monitoring plan for this project. At the public hearing the following
mitigation measures and conditions should be considered:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
December 22, 2017, sheets A0.0 through A5.3;
2. that prior to issuance of a building permit for the project, the applicant shall pay the first half of the
Public Facilities Impact fee in the amount of $5,537.00, made payable to the City of Burlingame and
submitted to the Planning Department;
3. that prior to scheduling the final framing inspection for the condominium building, the applicant shall pay
the second half of the Public Facilities Impact fee in the amount of $5,537.00, made payable to the City
of Burlingame and submitted to the Planning Department;
4. parking lifts, three (3) Klaus 2061-190 and three (3) Klaus 2061-200, or an equivalent parking lifts, shall
be installed in the garage of each residential unit, with the following conditions:
a. that the interior clearance height of the garages shall be at least 13'-3"0, measured from floor to
ceiling- as show on sheet A4.1 of the plans, in order to permit the parking of sport utility vehicles
on the parking lifts;
b. the parking lifts shall be properly illuminated to provide safety for easy loading and unloading,
while not causing excessive glare.

Mitigation Measures from Initial Study
Cultural Resources
46. Unanticipated Discovery of Archaeological Resources. All construction crew members shall be
alerted to the potential to encounter sensitive archaeological material. In the event that
archaeological resources (sites, features, or artifacts) are exposed during construction activities for
the proposed project, all construction work occurring within 100 feet of the find shall immediately stop
until a qualified archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification
Standards, can evaluate the significance of the find and determine whether additional study is
warranted. Prehistoric archaeological deposits may be indicated by the presence of discolored or
dark soil, fire -affected material, concentrations of fragmented or whole marine shell, burned or
complete bone, non -local lithic materials, or a characteristic observed to be atypical of the
surrounding area. Common prehistoric artifacts may include modified or battered lithic materials; lithic
or bone tools that appeared to have been used for chopping, drilling, or grinding; projectile points;
fired clay ceramics or non-functional items; and other items. Historic -age deposits are often indicated
by the presence of glass bottles and shards, ceramic material, building or domestic refuse, ferrous
metal, or old features such as concrete foundations or privies. Depending on the significance of the
find under CEQA (14 CCR 15064.5(fl, Public Resources Code Section 21082), the archaeologist may
simply record the find and allow work to continue. If the discovery proves significant under CEQA,
additional work, such as preparation of an archaeological treatment plan, testing, or data recovery,
may be warranted.
47. Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains. In accordance with Section 7050.5 of the California
Health and Safety Code, if human remains are found, the county coroner shall be immediately notified
of the discovery. No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably
suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the county coroner has determined, within 2
working days of notification of the discovery, the appropriate treatment and disposition of the human
remains. If the county coroner determines that the remains are, or are believed to be, Native American,
he or she shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in Sacramento within 24
hours. In accordance with California Public Resources Code, Section 5097.98, the NAHC must
immediately notify those persons it believes to be the most likely descendant from the deceased Native
American. The most likely descendant shall complete his/her inspection within 48 hours of being
granted access to the site. The designated Native American representative would then determine, in
consultation with the property owner, the disposition of the human remains.

Parking Variance and Tentative Condominium Map
1431 El Camino Real
48. Unanticipated Discovery of Paleontological Resources. Paleontological resources are limited,
nonrenewable resources of scientific, cultural, or educational value and are afforded protection under
state laws and regulations (CEQA). Paleontological resources are explicitly afforded protection by
CEQA, specifically in Section V(c) of CEQA Guidelines Appendix G, the Environmental Checklist Form,
which addresses the potential for adverse impacts to "unique paleontological resource[s] or site[s] or ...
unique geological feature[s]" (14 CCR 15000 et seq.). Further, CEQA provides that, generally, a
resource shall be considered "historically significant' if it has yielded or may be likely to yield
information important in prehistory (14 CCR 15064.5[a][3][D]). In the event that paleontological
resources (silicified shell, bone, or other features) are exposed during construction activities for the
proposed project, all construction work occurring within 100 feet of the find shall immediately stop until
a qualified paleontologist can evaluate the significance of the find. This analysis shall comply with
guidelines and significance criteria specified by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. If the discovery
proves significant under CEQA, additional work, such as preparation of an archaeological treatment
plan, testing, or data recovery, may be warranted.
Noise
49. The project sponsor shall retain a qualified acoustical engineer to prepare an acoustical study in
accordance with State Title 24 requirements. The acoustical study shall identify methods of design and
construction to comply with the applicable portions of the California Building Code Title 24 to achieve
an indoor noise level of 45 A -weighted decibel community noise equivalent level or less from traffic
noise sources.
50. All construction equipment shall use available noise -suppression devices and properly maintained
mufflers. All internal combustion engines used on the project site shall be equipped with the type of
muffler recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. In addition, all equipment shall be maintained in
a good mechanical condition to minimize noise created by a faulty or poorly maintained engine,
drive train, or other component.
51. During construction, stationary construction equipment shall be placed such that emitted noise is
directed away from sensitive noise receptors and as far as possible from the boundary of sensitive
receptors.
52. Pursuant to the City of Burlingame Municipal Code, the applicant shall limit construction activities to
between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

d. 1431 El Camino Real , zoned R-3 - Application for Environmental Review, Condominium
Permit, Design Review, Parking Variance for the use of mechanical parking lifts, and
Front Landscape Variance for a new 3-story, 6-unit condominium building (Levy Design
Partners, applicant and architect; GGH Investment LLC, property owner) (71 noticed)
Staff Contact: Catherine Keylon
All Commissioners had visited the property. There were no ex-parte communications to report.
Senior Planner Hurin provided an overview of the staff report.
Questions of Staff.-
> Are there similar variance requests for parking (particularly parking lifts) that have been approved
outside of the Downtown area? (Hurin - not outside of the Downtown area for residential projects.)
> Felt that the utility pole near the driveway may make it difficult for a delivery vehicle to maneuver into
the delivery space.
Chair Loftis opened the public hearing.
Toby Levy and Bruce Chan represented the applicant.
Commission Questions/Comments:
> Explain justification for flipping the driveway. (Levy - was intended to provide a greater separation
between the taller buildings.)
> The property survey is missing the two Elm trees at the front. The existing Eucalyptus tree is very
close to the property line and the existing fence. Is concerned about getting the ten -foot wide driveway into
the space shown without affecting the existing trees. Explore.
> Referenced letter from Jennifer Pfaff that noted that not all of the plants from the plant list are shown
on the plans. (Chan - certain plants on the list need to be deleted.)
> Asked what is happening at the rear of the lot? (Chan - wasn't designed as an active open space, are
providing private open space.) Encouraged planting the area as an amenity to the residents (such as
vegetable planters).
> Requested more information regarding the mechanical lifts. (Levy - are considering a Klaus stacker.
They take about 1 minute 30 seconds to operate. It is the exchange time for coordinating car removal that
makes people resistant to using them.
> How noisy are the stackers? (Levy - similar to the Klaus stackers approved for other projects.)
> Requested justification for the variance application. (Levy - will revisit the justification.) If the variances
weren't granted, how would the project be designed? (Levy - would hope that one of the guest spaces could
be used for delivery vehicles. The landscaping requirement would require removal of the rear -yard.)
> If parking lifts aren't approved, how would that impact the project? (Levy - would result in perhaps a
three -unit building. Wanted to build side -by -side units to appeal to families.)
> How much outreach has been done to the neighbors, particularly to the neighbors on the right, with
respect to the stackers. (Levy - the client attempted to meet with the neighbors - the property is totally
City of Burlingame Page 1 Printed on 2/5/2018
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 27, 2017
closed.) Requested information regarding the noise from the stackers and potential impact upon
neighbors.
> Is the building to the right taller? (Levy - believes all buildings are 35-feet tall.) Be certain the
rendering is accurate.
> It is only 15.8% more landscaping to eliminate the variance request. Parking in front is an eyesore.
Landscaping in the front is reflective of the Burlingame style and community values. Would rather consider
a variance for the rear setbak.
> Requested a sample of the Hardy shingle that is to be used, or better yet, a location to drive to view
the installation of the material.
> Feels the gas and utilities will come from the rear. May wish to look at shrinking the size of the
building.
> Requested more detail regarding the garage doors. (Levy - are roll -up doors due to the lifts. Can look
at other options.)
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.
Chair Loftis closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
> The delivery parking in front is bothersome; could end up as a normal parking space - look at moving
this and address the landscaping deficit.
> Thinks that the fire department shut-off needs to be shown on the plan, including screening.
> Will bicycle racks be provided?
> Likes the design; works well in the neighborhood.
> Concerned about the landscaping variance. Have approved the parking lift variance regularly within the
Downtown area; is this something that should be promoted in other areas of town?
> With respect to the environmental review; concerned about the noise from the metal roll -up doors.
> How is "displacement" of the existing residents defined in the environmental review process,
especially with respect to available units elsewhere and rents. Wants consistency in the analysis from
project to project.
> Feels the landscape variance is a non -starter. Too much is being placed on the site; there is no good
reason for the variance request. Perhaps the number or size of units could be reduced to provide more
space on the property.
> Have never had a discussion of why parking lifts wouldn't be allowed in the area. Primarily concerned
about noise from the litts. Not necessarily opposed to a variance for this purpose.
> If noise from the lifts is not something that arises to the level of a significant impact under CEQA,
then doesn't have an issue with it, but wants to see the analysis.
> Noted that the Klaus lifts were not actually installed on the Floribunda project, but that an alternate
that met the same noise standard was installed.
> What is the issue that rises to a level of significance under CEQA relative to displacement?
> What options are there for the space at the rear of the project.
> Is a below market rate unit required for the project? (Meeker - the City cannot require such units, and
none are proposed as part of the project.)
> Feels the project fits into the neighborhood and doesn't have a problem with the parking stackers.
> Agrees that the landscaping variance should be addressed and potentially eliminated.
No action was required on this item as the information providing during the hearing will be considered as
part of the environmental document and the project will come back as a Regular Action item when this
analysis is complete.

VARIANCE APPLICATION
J
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning
Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request_
Please type or write neatly in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
a. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
your property which do not apply to other properties in this area.
Open space, service delivery, and setback requirements limit ground floor square footage
available for parking. Variance for vehicular lifts helps project meet planning requirements
while minimizing visual impact on neighborhood in comparison to other properties in area
(who use exposed parking solutions).
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right and what unreasonable property loss or unnecessary
hardship might result from the denial of the application.
Variance would reduce square footage to be used to meet on -site parking requirements.
Higher efficiency allows for more "softscape" landscaping improvements and reduces
negative visual impact on neighborhood.
C. Explain why 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.
Variance allows for better efficiency and minimum square footage used for parking. In
comparison, existing adjacent buildings, use more space for parking and expose cars to
street. With vehicular lifts, all residential unit parking can be provided in private garages
hidden from street. Vehicular lifts would improve overall aesthetics and negative affect
building has on surrounding neighborhood.
d. How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and
character of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity?
Project is similar in mass, bulk, and character to existing adjacent buildings. However,
vehicular lift variance would allow for improvements in overall aesthetics as cars would
use less space allowing them to be hidden from street in private, covered garages.
Variance would improve overall impact of project on adjoining properties.

AEnd parking spaces are generally more difficult to drive into. Therefore we recommended for end parking spaces our wider platforms.
Parking on standard width platforms with larger vehicles may make getting into and out of the vehicle difficult. This depends on type
of vehicle, approach and above all on the individual driver's skill.

1431 El Camino Real — Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
Dear Ms. Keylon:
Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the
environmental review process for the 1431 El Camino Real project. In tandem with the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS),
Caltrans' mission signals a modernization of our approach to evaluate and mitigate impacts to
the State Transportation Network (STN). Caltrans' Strategic Management Plan 2015-2020 aims
to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) by tripling bicycle and doubling both pedestrian and
transit travel by 2020. Our comments are based on the December 6, 2017 Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND).
Project Understanding
The 7,722 square -foot (sf) proposed project site is located at 1431 El Camino Real in the city of
Burlingame. The project site is located in an R-3 zoning district and is surrounded by either R-1
or R-3 zoning districts. The proposed 1431 El Camino Real project would demolish an existing
two-story four -unit apartment building with a detached five -car garage structure at the rear, and
construct a 3,858 sf, three-story residential building containing six two -bedroom units. Two on -
site parking spaces (for a total of 12) would be located under each unit in mechanical, stacked -
vehicle lifts. Each lift would store one vehicle at ground level and one vehicle below ground.
There would also be two ground -level guest parking spaces and a service/delivery vehicle
parking space located on -site. The project site is adjacent to State Route (SR) 82 (El Camino
Real). The project will relocate access to SR 82 from a driveway along the southeastern edge of
the property, to a driveway along the northwestern edge of the property, and includes the
relocation of a young elm associated with the Howard -Ralston Eucalyptus Tree Rows.
"Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation
system to enhance California's economy and livability"
Ms. Keylon, City of Burlingame
January 4, 2018

Multimodal Planning
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) has identified the project location as a
planned Priority Development Area (PDA), known as the Burlingame El Camino Real PDA,
with a future place type of Transit Town Center, which emphasizes mixed -use development,
transit, and pedestrian connectivity. PDA criteria includes plans for additional housing, and
proximity within 'h mile of high frequency (peak headways under 20 minutes) bus or Bus Rapid
Transit service, or proximity to a planned or existing rail station or ferry terminal. The project
site is approximately 0.75 miles walking distance from the nearest Caltrain station (Broadway
Caltrain Station), while the SamTrans Route ECR bus, which has stops within 0.25 miles of the
project site provides high frequency bus service along SR 82 (El Camino Real) between Palo
Alto and Daly City.
Please clarify the present parking capacity at the project location: The MND indicates that a five -
space parking structure will be demolished, and a total of 15 parking spaces will be included in
the new project. Please consider instead of a variance to allow automatic parking lifts in order to
meet parking minimum requirements, a variance to reduce the parking minimum at the site,
which could include measures such as an on -site car -share point -of -departure.
The project's primary and secondary effects on pedestrians, bicyclists, disabled travelers and
transit users should be evaluated, including countermeasures and trade-offs resulting from
mitigating VMT increases. Access for pedestrians and bicyclists to transit facilities must be
maintained. These smart growth approaches are consistent with MTC's Regional Transportation
Plan/Sustainable Community Strategies and would help meet Caltrans Strategic Management
targets.
Vehicle Trip Reduction
From Caltrans' Smart Mobility 2010: A Call to Action for the New Decade, the project site is
identified as Place Type 2b: Close -in Corridors where location efficiency factors, such as
community design, are moderate and regional accessibility is strong. Caltrans applauds the
construction of additional housing in this area, and due to its location, it should include a robust
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program to reduce VMT and greenhouse gas
emissions. Such measures will be critical in order to facilitate efficient transportation access to
and from the site and reduce transportation impacts associated with the project. The measures
listed below will promote smart mobility and reduce regional VMT.
• Project design to encourage walking, bicycling and transit access;
• Transit subsidies for residents on an ongoing basis;
• Charging stations and designated parking spaces for electric vehicles;
• Designated parking spaces for a car share program;

Cultural Resources
Because this project proposes the relocation of a young elm associated with the Howard -Ralston
Eucalyptus Tree Rows, Noah M. Stewart, Caltrans Architectural Historian and Environmental
Branch Chief has been working directly with the Lead Agency and the project applicant on the
cultural resource documents needed to satisfy Caltrans requirements under PRC 5024. Please see
the comments below, noting that comments provided previously by Caltrans as part of the
ongoing coordination still apply.
Based on Page 22, Section 2.5 within the Discussion, it appears that there is an impact to the
Howard -Ralston Eucalyptus Tree Rows as one of the trees that contributes to the significance of
the National Register of Historic Places -listed property will be moved. While it appears the move
will not have a significant adverse change to the resource, it appears that there will be some
impact; please clarify the level of change. Please also clarify if and how the trees will be
protected with Environmentally Sensitive Areas, and how those areas will be delineated.
Lead Agency
As the Lead Agency, the City Burlingame is responsible for all project mitigation, including any
needed improvements to the STN. The project's fair share contribution, financing, scheduling,
implementation responsibilities and lead agency monitoring should be fully discussed for all
proposed mitigation measures.
Encroachment Permit
Please be advised that any work or traffic control that encroaches onto the state ROW requires an
encroachment permit that is issued by the Department. To apply, a completed encroachment
permit application, environmental documentation, and five (5) sets of plans clearly indicating
state ROW must be submitted to: Office of Permits, California DOT, District 4, P.O. Box 23660,
Oakland, CA 94623-0660. Traffic -related mitigation measures should be incorporated into the
construction plans during the encroachment permit process. See the website link below for more
information: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/developserv/permits/.

Subject: 1431 El Camino Real - Variance application for landscaping
March 24, 2017
Honorable Commissioner Loftis and fellow Planning Commissioners:
COMMUNICATION RECEIVED
AFTER PREPARATION
OF STAFF REPORT
RECEIVE®
MAR 24 2017
CITY OF BURLINGAME
CDD — PLANNING DIV.
I am writing with regard to the proposal for a condo project at the above site, that is adjacent to the Howard
Ralston Tree Rows, a historic resource listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Though I understand the need to accommodate home deliveries, particularly in areas where street parking
doesn't exist, I think the notion of parking in what little landscaped frontage exists along the highway, sets an
unfortunate precedent that needs to be very carefully considered before granting a variance.
Not long ago, a development with a cantilever design at 1321 El Camino Real, just to the south of this
one, was undertaken on a similarly narrow lot, with existing street trees and similar constraints. To my
knowledge, the project was completed without requesting a landscape reduction variance. The result is a
handsome building with a lush landscape plan that visually supports the look of the Tree Rows in the public
realm, adding depth and interest.
In the case of 1431, reduction in vegetation creates a sterile and flat project. The extant street tree elms, as well
as the single chosen oak proposed for what little remains plantable area, will disappear for much of the year
while the trees are dormant. Just one extant gum exists to the north of the property --too far away to contribute
visually to the landscaping.
Deliveries typically take just a few minutes, so I wonder why delivery trucks, or gardeners or other vehicles
that visit for limited periods of time cannot occupy one of two guest parking spots to the rear? If this concept
of a parking pad becomes the norm, the cumulative look our scenic highway will really take a hit. The goal of
redeveloping these properties should be overall improvement. The introduction of parked cars on the frontage,
whether it is allowed by the property owners, or not, has the potential to be a permanent blight.
Finally, perhaps the applicant can consider switching out the single deciduous pin oak, for an evergreen cork
oak. Many years ago, in an effort to soften the flat panels of the Safeway complex on El Camino Real at
Howard, several evergreen cork oaks were used along El Camino Real, together with creeping fig on most of
the stucco on the sides of the building. The effect is one that has provided visual depth, and a lush back drop
for the Tree Rows in front of them. Similarly, for this property, and what appears to be an angled, albeit rather
flat concrete piece on the face of the structure, some creeping fig may help create some visual interest and
depth, while helping the architecture to have a sense of place in that setting.
As a side note, I apologize as my abilities of reading the landscape plan may be limited, but hard as I've tried, I
cannot rectify what seems to be a long list of plants, with the actual plans. On the submitted sheet L 1.1, I
cannot seem to locate the following plants on the site: chinese pistache, glossy abelia, day lillies, tree mallows,
red fountain grass, pleris japonica variegate, or Fraser photenia.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Jennifer Pfaff

the elevation drawings specify the location and the net clear opening height and width of all
required egress windows. 2013 California Building Code (CBC) 1029.2 and 2013 California
Residential Code (CRC) §R310. The response did not include what the actual dimension of the
egress windows are in order to determine that the minimum 5.7 square feet would be met. Note:
That if you use the minimum dimension width of 20 inches for the egress window, than you
would need a minimum of a 42" net opening height.
17) Specify on the plan that all powder rooms shall comply with Section 1134A.2; Option 2, Items 8 through
12. The response to question # 17 stating that unit #7 will comply with the requirements for the accessible

room will be designed to comply with 1134A.2; Option 2, Items 8 through 12.
18) Specify on the plans that all dwelling unit interior doors will comply with CBC 1132A5.2. The response
that Unit #7 will comply with the requirements for the accessible route to the primary unit entry, does not
address the strike edge maneuvering space at the door.
The following comments do not need to be addressed now, but you should be aware of them as
they will need to be addressed at time of building permit submittal.
19) Anyone who is doing business in the City must have a current City of Burlingame business
license.

RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW,
CONDOMINIUM PERMIT, PARKING VARIANCE AND TENTATIVE CONDOMINIUM MAP,
FOR A NEW 6-UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT AT
1431 EL CAMINO REAL
(ASSESSOR PARCEL NO: 026-013-110)
WHEREAS, on September 30, 2016 Levy Design Partners, on behalf of GGH Investment LLC
filed an application with the City of Burlingame Community Development Department — Planning Division
requesting approval of the following requests:
• Design Review for construction of a new three-story, 6-unit condominium building (C.S.
25.28.020);
• Condominium Permit (Tentative Condominium Map) required for construction of new
condominium building (C.S. 26.30.020)' and
• Parking Variance for the use of mechanical parking lifts to provide the required parking spaces
(C.S. 25.70.032).
WHEREAS, on March 27, 2017 the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
(environmental scoping session) to review a 6-unit residential condominium project and to identify
subjects to be analyzed in the project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). At that time
direction was provided to the applicant for revisions to the project design and comments were received
from the Commission and public regarding issues to be addressed in the project IS/MND; and
WHEREAS, on February 12, 2018 the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing (study session) to review a revised 6-unit residential condominium project to address the
concerns expressed by the neighbors and Planning Commission. At that time public comments were
taken and direction was provided to the applicant for revisions to the project design; and
WHEREAS, an IS/MND was prepared to analyze project impacts; said IS/MND was circulated for
public review and comment commencing on December 6, 2017 and concluding on January 4, 2018; there
were no two public comments received on the IS/MND; and
Following consideration of all information contained in the February 12, 2018 staff report to the
Planning Commission regarding the project, all written correspondence, and all public comments
received at the public hearing, the Commission recommends approval of the 6-unit multi -family residential
condominium development based on the following findings regarding the project entitlements:
1
Design Review Findings:
• That the proposed condominium building will be compatible with the existing character of the
neighborhood with the use of a variety of quality materials including Hardie shingle siding, cement
plaster, horizontal wood railings, and composite wood windows with metal trim. The new three-
story building respects the mass and scale of this portion of El Camino Real which has a mix of
two and three-story multifamily residential buildings with a variety of architectural styles. The
building includes an articulated front fagade that provides visual interest. For these reasons the
project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
Condominium Permit Findings:
Sound community planning; the economic, ecological, social and aesthetic qualities of the
community, and on public health, safety and general welfare in that the 6-unit residential
condominium project is scaled to be compatible with existing multifamily buildings along El
Camino Real and in the neighboring single family residential neighborhood and features ample
landscaping with usable common open space;
• The overall impact on schools, parks, utilities, neighborhoods, streets, traffic, parking and other
community facilities and resources in that with the mitigations designed into the project in the
Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration have found there will be no significant impacts, -
and
• Conformity with the general plan and density permitted by zoning regulations, in that the project
provides two additional residential units (6 total) consistent with the applicable general plan and
zoning designations.
Variance Findings:
Parking Variance for the use of mechanical parking lifts to provide the required parking spaces):
The project has been designed to meet the common open space requirements, service delivery
space requirement as well as to provide two guest parking space therefore limiting the amount of
space available to provide required parking for all of the dwelling units. The use of mechanical
parking lifts reduces the square footage demands for the site and will not be visible to the public,
with no impact on aesthetics. The midblock location of the property on El Camino Real provides
no alternatives for overflow parking for residents or visitors for this site. The use of mechanical
parking lifts guarantees that each unit can fit two vehicles on the property. The site provides the
code required driveway and circulation space to allow adequate queuing and maneuverability in
and out of the lifts. For these reasons, the proposed project may be found to be compatible with
the Variance criteria.
WHEREAS, said matters were heard by the Planning Commission of the City of Burlingame on
February 12, 2018, at which time it reviewed and considered the staff report and all other written materials
and testimony presented at said hearing;
2
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED AND DETERMINED BY THIS PLANNING COMMISSION THAT:
Section 1. Said Design Review, Condominium Permit, Parking Variance for the use of
mechanical parking lifts, and Tentative Condominium Map are approved subject to the conditions set

Mitigation Measures from Initial Study
Cultural Resources
46. Unanticipated Discovery of Archaeological Resources. All construction crew members
shall be alerted to the potential to encounter sensitive archaeological material. In the
event that archaeological resources (sites, features, or artifacts) are exposed during
construction activities for the proposed project, all construction work occurring within 100
feet of the find shall immediately stop until a qualified archaeologist, meeting the
Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards, can evaluate the
significance of the find and determine whether additional study is warranted. Prehistoric
archaeological deposits may be indicated by the presence of discolored or dark soil, fire-

affected material, concentrations of fragmented or whole marine shell, burned or
complete bone, non -local lithic materials, or a characteristic observed to be atypical of
the surrounding area. Common prehistoric artifacts may include modified or battered
lithic materials; lithic or bone tools that appeared to have been used for chopping, drilling,
or grinding; projectile points; fired clay ceramics or non-functional items; and other items.
Historic -age deposits are often indicated by the presence of glass bottles and shards,
ceramic material, building or domestic refuse, ferrous metal, or old features such as
concrete foundations or privies. Depending on the significance of the find under CEQA
(14 CCR 15064.5(t]; Public Resources Code Section 21082), the archaeologist may
simply record the find and allow work to continue. If the discovery proves significant
under CEQA, additional work, such as preparation of an archaeological treatment plan,
testing, or data recovery, may be warranted.
47. Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains. In accordance with Section 7050.5 of the
California Health and Safety Code, if human remains are found, the county coroner shall
be immediately notified of the discovery. No further excavation or disturbance of the site
or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the
county coroner has determined, within 2 working days of notification of the discovery, the
appropriate treatment and disposition of the human remains. If the county coroner
determines that the remains are, or are believed to be, Native American, he or she shall
notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in Sacramento within 24 hours.
In accordance with California Public Resources Code, Section 5097.98, the NAHC must
immediately notify those persons it believes to be the most likely descendant from the
deceased Native American. The most likely descendant shall complete his/her inspection
within 48 hours of being granted access to the site. The designated Native American
representative would then determine, in consultation with the property owner, the
disposition of the human remains.
48. Unanticipated Discovery of Paleontological Resources. Paleontological resources are
limited, nonrenewable resources of scientific, cultural, or educational value and are
afforded protection under state laws and regulations (CEQA). Paleontological resources
are explicitly afforded protection by CEQA, specifically in Section V(c) of CEQA Guidelines
Appendix G, the Environmental Checklist Form, which addresses the potential for adverse
impacts to "unique paleontological resource[s] or site[s] or ... unique geological feature[s]"
(14 CCR 15000 et seq.). Further, CEQA provides that, generally, a resource shall be
considered "historically significant" if it has yielded or may be likely to yield information
important in prehistory (14 CCR 15064.5[a][3][D]). In the event that paleontological
resources (silicified shell, bone, or other features) are exposed during construction
activities for the proposed project, all construction work occurring within 100 feet of the
find shall immediately stop until a qualified paleontologist can evaluate the significance of
the find. This analysis shall comply with guidelines and significance criteria specified by
the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. If the discovery proves significant under CEQA,
additional work, such as preparation of an archaeological treatment plan, testing, or data
recovery, may be warranted.

49. The project sponsor shall retain a qualified acoustical engineer to prepare an acoustical
study in accordance with State Title 24 requirements. The acoustical study shall identify
methods of design and construction to comply with the applicable portions of the California
Building Code Title 24 to achieve an indoor noise level of 45 A -weighted decibel
community noise equivalent level or less from traffic noise sources.
50. All construction equipment shall use available noise -suppression devices and properly
maintained mufflers. All internal combustion engines used on the project site shall be
equipped with the type of muffler recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. In
addition, all equipment shall be maintained in a good mechanical condition to minimize
noise created by a faulty or poorly maintained engine, drive train, or other component.
51. During construction, stationary construction equipment shall be placed such that emitted
noise is directed away from sensitive noise receptors and as far as possible from the
boundary of sensitive receptors.
52. Pursuant to the City of Burlingame Municipal Code, the applicant shall limit construction
activities to between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and Saturdays between
