Applicant and Designer: Dale Meyer Associates Property Owners: Mingjin Yan and Qi Cheng General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 026-021-170 Lot Area: 5,250 SF Zoning: R-1 Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(2), which states that additions to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 SF in areas where all public services and facilities are available and the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. Background: The subject property is located within the Glenwood Park subdivision. Based upon documents that were submitted to the Planning Division by a Burlingame property owner in 2009, it was indicated that the entire Burlingame Park No. 2, Burlingame Park No. 3, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood Park subdivisions may have historical characteristics that would indicate that properties within this area could be potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. Therefore, for any property located within these subdivisions, a Historic Resource Evaluation must be prepared prior to any significant development project being proposed to assess whether the existing structure(s) could be potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for this property by Page & Turnbull, Inc., dated January 27, 2017. The results of the evaluation concluded that 1515 Carol Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria. Therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per Section 15301 (e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 SF in areas where all public services and facilities are available and the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive, is exempt from environmental review. Project Description: The existing single-story house and detached one-car garage contains 1,790 SF (0.34 FAR) of floor area. The applicant is proposing a first and second story addition at the front and center of the house, increasing the total floor area to 2,878 SF (0.55 FAR), where 2,989 SF (0.57 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The project is 111 SF below the maximum allowable floor area. With this application, the number of bedrooms will be increasing from three to four. A minimum of finro parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required for a four-bedroom house. The existing detached garage provides one covered parking space (8'-8'h" x 17'-3" clear interior dimensions); one uncovered parking space is provided in the driveway leading to the garage. Planning staff would note that the existing garage is nonconforming in width and length (9' x 18' required for existing conditions). However, since there is no increase in the number of parking spaces required and there are no changes proposed to the existing detached garage, a Parking Variance is not required in this case. All otherZoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following application: ■ Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling (CS 25.57.010 (a) (2)).

Please refer to the attached applicant's response letter, dated June 17, 2017, and revised plans, date stamped June 19, 2017, for responses to the Commission's comments and a detailed summary of changes made to the project since the design review study meeting. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows: Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; E Design Review 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 4. InterFace of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. 1515 Carol Avenue Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the addition (featuring a combination of hip and gable roofs, composition shingle roofing, proportional plate heights, stucco siding, wood eave brackets at the gable ends, and aluminum clad wood windows with wood trim) is compatible with the existing house and character of the neighborhood and that the windows and architectural elements of the proposed structure are placed so that the structure respects the interface with the structures on adjacent properties, therefore the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.

Commission Questions/Comments: > The brackets are very striking, will that e/ement be repeated everywhere? (Meyer. yes, though they disappear under the gab/es on some e/evations. Worked with the design of the existing brackets.) Feels more details are needed. (Meyer.� are adding other details in addition to the brackets.) > A remarkable transformation. Needs one more pass at the details. On the second floor, is ihe ceiling going to be vaulted or flat? (Meyer: flaf.) There is a high forehead above the second f/oor windows on the front. Perhaps consider some type of trim in fhe gab/e to break up the stucco. Consider breaking up the eave lines around the sides and rear by perhaps adding a gable on the south side elevation to break up the coniinuous line. > On fhe landscape plan there is a lot of concrete. Is there any intent to remove some concrete and install planting in some of this area, particularly near the concrete pafh? (Meyer. on the right side of the bay window, are removing the concrete, but did not include plantings. Could narrow the concrete /eading to the front steps. wll review.) > Did a great job on the design. Wth respect to the windows on the north and east elevations; are these existing windows? (Meyer: existing windows are vinyl windows. In all of the new windows, all of second floor, all of front and in other areas, and on the north elevation, new windows are being provided . On the south e/evation will also install new windows. New windows will be metal clad wood windows; is attempfing to convince the client to change out the existing vinyl windows.) > Why doesn't the window sty/e match from the first to the second floor on all but the front e/evation. Wou/d this detail be the same on all of the new windows? (Meyer. did this on the front.) Look at making all of ihe new windows the same sty/e with the same mullion sty/e; provide more detail. > Spell out the window trim and provide consistency with the new windows. > Will the fronf porch stairs be wood with the buttress walls stucco? (Meyer. yes.) > A perspective drawing would be helpful. > Is there anything that can be done to shift the massing to the /eft? There are a lot of small cottage homes in the neighborhood. There is eight feet befween the neighboring cottage property and the common property wall. On fhe north side, the relief provided by the short roof line he/ps. Could the right City of Burlingame Page 1 Printed on 7!1/2017 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 22, 2017 side elevation be broken up by pushing it back a couple of feet to open up more to the cottage to the right?
