City of Burlingame Design Review Study
Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit
Address: 1813 Castenada Drive Meeting Date: 11/08/04
Request: Design review and hillside area construction permit for a first and second story addition.
Applicant and Architect: Lincoln Lue APN: 025-051-070
Property Owners: Mark and Amy Liew Lot Area: 15,960 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Summary: The existing single -story house contains 3,204 SF of floor area (0.20 FAR), and has five bedrooms.
An existing 541 SF covered patio at the rear of the house will be removed as part of this project. The applicant is
proposing a 557 SF first floor addition at the rear of the house and a new 557 SF second floor directly above it.
A new uncovered second floor deck (122 SF) is proposed at the rear of the house. The area under the proposed
second floor deck (122 SF) is included in the proposed floor area. With the addition, the floor area will be
increasing to 3,799 SF (0.24 FAR) (exempting 100 SF of covered porches and chimneys) where 6,207 SF (0.39
FAR) is the maximum allowed. With this project, there is no increase in the number of bedrooms (5). The
existing attached one -car garage (13'-6" x 20') is nonconforming since it does not provide enough parking spaces
for a five -bedroom house (two covered and one uncovered required). One uncovered parking space is provided
in the driveway (space can be measured to the edge of the sidewalk on an existing house). However, because the
number of bedrooms is not increasing, a parking variance is not required for the existing nonconforming parking.
All other zoning code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following:
Design review and hillside area construction permit for a first and second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010 and
25.61.020).
