APPLICANT L. BURLINGAME, INC. The Northpark Apartment Development is to be constructed in accordance with the plans approved by the City Council. It was an agreement between the City Council and the developer; or, in effect, contract zoning. Subsequently the Developer found it desirable to revise the landscaping plans; to change the sidewalk pattern for better interior circulation, and to improve access to the pool areas. They also wished to increase the size of the two swim- ming pools. Minor modifications were made to the parking space layout without reducing the number of uncovered spaces. The old landscape plan has been improved and L. Burlingame, Inc. requested approval of these modifications. At the Planning Commission hearing on December 27, the changecl landscape plan and Agreement modifications were con- sidered, including the Fire Chief's reQuest for 10 foot cicar- ance over routes to be used by fire equipment and adequate turning radii. Additional landscaping is to be provided adjacent to the City Pumping Station and the developer's architect will explore providing a pathway to the box culvert entrance for interim access under Bayshore Freeway to Bayside Park. Initial landscaping plans rec{uired approval by the Planning Commission. This action is an advisory recommendation to the City Council. tNMS : e g 12-29-71 / � , _._____--� . . -. of this variance. Z'he City Planner stated �that he had made a study of the bl�ck from E1 Carairio to Center Avenue which showed that eight Iots were occupied by two or more units, legal or illegal, and five lots had single family dwellings on them,one of which �•�as the applicants' building site. He commented that there was a definite pattern of multi.-family dwellings on this block, and that the proposal is in accord with the General Plan which designates this block as low-density multiple. He commented that the General Plan is a valid document, and if this is a proper building, bu�.lt according to code with two stories and garages in the rear, he had no objection. Commis�ioner Norberg mentioned that he thought the plan for addition •of the garages could be improved, but �hat he had no other objections. It was brought aut that the garages are no�v 18 x 20 in accord with code requirements. - Commiss�ioners Jacobs, Taylor and Mink had no comment on the plans. � Commissioner Kindig wanted verbal confirmation that the two trees in front would stay, and questioned the front and rear setbacks and height of the building. He was informed that the front is 17'. the back, 15', and the height of the building was 21'. Commissioner Cistulli was al.so interested in preserving the trees. Z'he applicants stated that this would be done, as well as the one in the rear if it developed that it was on the property of the applicant. . Chairman Sine commented on the fence to the east of the property between 15�14 and 1516 stating that was illegal in that it has a plastic extension on top of the 6' fence, and askec3 the applicants' intention with it. They stated that it would be removed if it were on their property. Commissioner Jacobs introduced a motion that the variance be granted to Albar Construction to build a 5-unit ap�rtment building at 1516 Ivewlands complying as near as possible to the elevation shown on the plans and preserving the two trees in front, plus the one tree in the rear if possible. Commissioner Mink seconded the m�tion, and it passed unanimously on roll call vote. _ Chairman Sine informed the applicants that the variance would become effective on riay 4, 1971 if not appealed to the City CQuncil.

VARTANCE APPROVED TO CONSTi'.UCT TEN APART�LGNT BUILDTIv'GS ON SHORELAND PROPERTY AT CADILLAC 6�AY, CAROI,AN AVENUE, AND F3AYSHORE BOULEVAFJ BY ti'TFiEATI,EY-OLIVER OF PALO �LTO %/✓�� "!��'�1,A�C/ r�'t/�� Chairman Sine ann�unced a public hearing on the above application ior variance, and plans were distributed to Commission members. A letter accompanying the application indicated that application would also be made at a later date for�construction of a restaurant at a site adjacent to�the apartment area, and �lso that the applicants believed the project would be an attractive addition to the city and would be instrumental in improving business in the Broadway area. Both Mr. Wheatley and Mr. Oliver were present. Chairman Sine requested the their plans, and rir. Oliver applicants to make a presentation of responded. J l ' � � � He informed the Commission that since the last planning meeting they had an additional request that an existing structure on the proper�y be allowed to remain and be r.efurbished for use as a storage area and possibly a rental office during the rental period. 'I'his is noY� a one story office building and its rear wall is on the property lin-e next to a gas station. Mr. Oliver went on to say that there would be a total of twelve buildings on the site - ten apartment buildings,.the existing structure, and the recreation building which does no� contain apartments. The variance is for the coristruction of these buildings on one parcel of iand since financing of twelve separate buildings on twelve separate lots would be extremely difficult: A box culvert carrying storm �drainage traverses the property. The present overhead utilities are to be put underground. . The City Planner reviewec3 the backgrounc� for this variance application. Z'he property is presently zoned R-4, apartment, and the proposed use accords with that classification. However, the code also provides that not more than one residential building may be constructed on a single parcel and the proposal includes ten such buildings on a single site in addition to the accessory buildings mentioned. This is similar to a"planned unit development" but we have nq such provision in ou�r zoning code. For this reason, the only approach of the applicant is to request << variance . He has reviewed the plans. The land coverage, number of car spaces, distance between buildings and gener�l layout are satisfactory. Since all residential structures have frontag� on a street, the £ire department has few objections but will require that through access must be made av�ilable by proper paving over the box culvert. Z'hey may have other internal r�quirements. � He said that there are 510 units but that this number should pose a �.esser traffic problem than other p�ssible uses of the property. � An apartment building has f��irly consi�tent traffic while a com.mercial building would create peak hour^. He would strongly object to an office building, etc. He inquirea if nliver had solved his problems with the Fire Chief. " . � Oliver replied he thought this had been done. They•have assured the Chief they �vould place some tyne of mateYial over the. culv^rt to support fire equipment. They are agreeable to �Ln enunciator system on Carolan Avenue, also a pull box, and the necessary fire entrances. The City Engineer commentPd that the box culvert easem�nt is 20', the width of the culvert is 18' and the depth around 6' - that it should be a.dequate to carry a storrn se�aer. To a question about acces5 in event of stoppage, he stated that there is an access point on Bayshore and another access p�int. Mr. Oliv�r inentioned that there at least t�vo manholes in the culvert. They plan �o pick up the inv:�rts that are there for drainage of their property. - 7 - . � , • . . The City Engineer reported that the utilities are adequate. There are 12"-14" water maiuldabe instalTledealong�thceboxeculvert andS�aacouple that the sewer o of.connections would be necessary. . Mr. Oliver men�ioned nstallnatsewerline�throughathefproperty,eandathey asked permission to i , wan� to grant him an easement. Chaixman Sine asked for. comments from the audience in favor of this variance. Mr. Ferd Gebhard, of 1212 Rollins Road, appeared and voiced his approval, saying that this was the only logical d�velopment to be put on the site, since a shopping center would damage Broadway Avenue busin�ss, and the apartment builaings being between the railroad. arid the freeway, wouldebe�ff�streetnparking� andeprese�tfmoreboflaings would require much mo traffic problem. Mrs. Lillian Triplett o£ 900 Toyon Drive then came forth �nd stated she thoroughly approved, that it wauld be a desirable location because of its proximity to the shopping district. She mentioned the aesthetic improvement that will result, although she felt that in the construction of the apartments adequate protection should be made against noise. Mrs. Mary Crockett, 1032 Toyon Drive, also indicated her approval. Chairman Sine then requested comments from the audience against this variance. . Z'iiere were none, and the public hearing was cieclared closed. During a periodlof Commission discussionditablesdevelopmTenterg stated that it was a very well designed and cre Chairman Sine requested the Commissioners to give their individual opinions regarding density. � , Commissioner Jacobs felt that the plan was very good and there would be no density problem. Commissioner Taylor agreed, stating that it was the best organized project presented in several years. Commissioner :�iink felt that the real problem is the relationship o£ open space to aensity, and the plan showed gooc3 work in that the maximu.m amount of open space had been maintained. Co►nmissioner Kindig asked for a review of the parking ratio, and he was informed by Mr. Oliver that it was 1% to 1; that there were 510 covered spaces directly under the buildings, which meant that there was sufficient parking in each building for all occupants. There ��ere an addi tional 258 parking spaces on the site. Commissioner Kindig felt that the density feature was all right. Commissioner Cistulli commented that he approved highly of the .?roject, ana was happy with the density. He hoped that this project �vould � go through as it woula be an asset to Broad��ay. Chairman Sine had other questions, one of which �vas the question of fencing around the �oin 1 andgthere5is ahspecificls�immingapoolthat the code requires fenc g, section in our code. , _ ,•. �, � The Chairman then inquired about children. Mr. Oliver said they had nat definitel.y decided. Commissioner Cistulli suggested that possibly chi].dren of up to age 4 or 5 might be .con�'r7ered. Mr. Oliver commen�ed that maybe one building might be given over to young families with young children. �his was a possibi�.ty. In reply to the Chairman's question as to start and finish of the project, Mr. Oliver stated that they plan to start August 17 and allow 18 months for completion, the contractor moving From building to building. Chairman Sine mentioned that the existing traffic problem would be eompounded. He �vondered if the company wou�d be amenable, if the traffic grew too heavy on Carolan, to assuming their fair share of a traffic Iight. Mr. Oliver stated�that he could not say until he knew what sort of cost would be necessary and commented on the ten access driveways. Chairman Sine replied that regardless of this, all driveways bunch up into tcvo exits. Upon being asked for an opinion, the City Attorney stated that the property could be liable for the lights to the extent that it contributed to the traffic problem. Commissioner Mi,nk moved that the variance be granted subject to modification or to cancellation or termination o� existing contract with Burlingame Shore Land Company, that location of buildings and number of unit^ be in accordance with plans,submitted and that the project be built generally in accv rdance with these plans, that the project be in accordance with all building and fire codes of the ci�y together with such interior fire protection devices required by the fire department, and that landscaping plans be submitt�d and approved before occupancy of the buildings. Com�nis�ioner Jacobs seconded the motion, and it carried unanirnously on roll call vote.
