Project Location (include County)
Project Description: The proposal is to demolish an existing single -story house and detached garage to build a new, single -
story single family dwelling and a detached one -car garage at 19 East Carol Avenue, zoned R-1. The proposed structures
would cover 40% (2,397 SF) of the 6,000 SF lot, where 40% (2,400 SF) is the maximum lot coverage allowed. The proposed
house and detached garage would have a total floor area of 2,305 SF (0.38 FAR) where 3,240.4 SF (0.54 FAR) is the
maximum allowed. There would be one covered parking space in the detached garage and one uncovered parking space
provided on -site for the proposed four bedroom house. The applicant has applied for Design Review, for a new, single -story
single family dwelling and detached garage.
This project is subject to CEQA because on September 25, 2009, the City of Burlingame Planning Division received
documentation from a Burlingame citizen that indicated that the entire subdivision within which this property is located
(Burlingame Heights) 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. An historic survey has been completed
for the existing house on the property, and it has been determined that although the building retains historic integrity, it is not
eligible for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. Also, because the City of Burlingame does not
maintain a local historic register, the building was not evaluated for potential eligibility as a local historic resource.
This is to advise that the City of Burlingame, the Lead Agency, has approved the above -described project on August 27, 2012
and has made the following determinations regarding the above described project:
1. The project [❑will ® will not] have a significant effect on the environment.
2. ❑ An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of CEQA.
® A Negative Declaration was prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of CEQA.

Brief Project Description: Demolish existing single -story house and detached garage to build
a new single -story family dwelling and detached one -car garage at 19 East Carol Avenue in the
City of Burlingame. The home will be 2,305 square feet.
Describe clearly why the project has no effect on fish and wildlife: The project will replace
an existing residence and detached garage already occupying the property within a subdivision.
The surrounding properties are all developed with single family residences. The subject
property is not adjacent to a waterway and, all surface water is required to drain to the street
and the site ties into an existing four -inch water line along the street. The proposed project
would not result in ground disturbance or indirect or direct destruction of any habitat that would
support fish and/or wildlife species.
Determination: Based on a review of the Project as proposed, the Department of Fish and
Game has determined that for purposes of the assessment of CEQA filing fees [F&G Code
711.4(c)] the project has no potential effect on fish, wildlife and habitat and the project as
described does not require payment of a CEQA filing fee. This determination does not in any
way imply that the project is exempt from CEQA and does not determine the significance of any
potential project effects evaluated pursuant to CEQA.
Please retain this original determination for your records; you are required to file a copy of this
determination with the County Clerk after your project is approved and at the time of filing of the
CEQA lead agency's Notice of Determination (NOD). If you do not file a copy of this
determination with the County Clerk at the time of filing of the NOD, the appropriate CEQA filing
fee will be due and payable.
Without a valid No Effect Determination Form or proof of fee payment, the project will not be
operative, vested, or final, and any local permits issued for the project will be invalid, pursuant
to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4(c)(3).

Project Description: The proposal is to demolish an existing single -story house and detached garage to build a
new, single -story single family dwelling and a detached one -car garage at 19 East Carol Avenue, zoned R-1. The
proposed structures would cover 40% (2,397 SF) of the 6,000 SF lot, where 40% (2,400 SF) is the maximum lot

detached garage and one uncovered parking space provided on -site for the proposed four bedroom house. The
applicant has applied for Design Review, for a new, single -story single family dwelling and detached garage.
This project is subject to CEQA because on September 25, 2009, the City of Burlingame Planning Division
received documentation from a Burlingame citizen that indicated that the entire subdivision within which this
property is located (Glenwood Park) 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. An
historic survey has been completed for the existing house on the property, and it has been determined that the
building retains sufficient historic integrity to be considered a contributing resource to a potential historic district,
but it is not eligible for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. Also, because the City
of Burlingame does not maintain a local historic register, the building was not evaluated for potential eligibility as a
local historic resource.
In accordance with Section 15072(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, notice is
hereby given of the City's intent to adopt a Negative Declaration for the project listed above. A negative
declaration is prepared for a project when the initial study has identified no potentially significant effect on the
environment, and there is no substantial evidence in the light of the whole record before the public agency that
the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The City of Burlingame has completed a review of
the proposed project, and on the basis of an Initial Study, finds that the project will not have a significant effect
upon the environment. The City has prepared a Negative Declaration and Initial Study that are available for
public review at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, California, 94010.
As mandated by State Law, the minimum comment period for this document is 20 (twenty) days and begins on
August 7, 2012. Comments may be submitted during the review period and up to the tentatively scheduled public
hearing on August 27, 2012. Persons having comments concerning this project, including objections to the basis
of determination set forth in the Initial Study/Negative Declaration, are invited to furnish their comments
summarizing the specific and factual basis for their comments, in writing to: City of Burlingame Community
Development Department — Planning Division. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21177, any legal
challenge to the adoption of the proposed Initial Study/Negative Declaration will be limited to those issues
presented to the City during the public comment period described above.
PUBLIC HEARING: The Planning Commission hearing to review the proposed Design Review for a new, single -
story single family dwelling and detached garage at 19 East Carol Avenue, and the Negative Declaration and
Initial Study for this project has been tentatively scheduled for August 27, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council

8. Description of the Project: The proposal is to demolish an existing single -story house and detached
garage to build a new, single -story single family dwelling and a detached one -car garage at 19 East
Carol Avenue, zoned R-1. The proposed structures would cover 40% (2,397 SF) of the 6,000 SF lot,
where 40% (2,400 SF) is the maximum lot coverage allowed. The proposed house and detached garage
would have a total floor area of 2,305 SF (0.38 FAR) where 3,240.4 SF (0.54 FAR) is the maximum
allowed. There would be one covered parking space in the detached garage and one uncovered parking
space provided on -site for the proposed four bedroom house. The applicant has applied for Design
Review, for a new, single -story single family dwelling and detached garage.
This project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because on September 25,
2009, the City of Burlingame Planning Division received documentation from a Burlingame citizen that
indicated that the entire subdivision within which this property is located (Glenwood Park) 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. An historic survey has been completed
for the existing house on the property, and it has been determined that the building retains sufficient
historic integrity to be considered a contributing resource to a potential historic district, but it is not eligible
for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. Also, because the City of
Burlingame does not maintain a local historic register, the building was not evaluated for potential
eligibility as a local historic resource.
9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The property is located in the Glenwood Park Subdivision, in the
southern portion of Burlingame west of El Camino Real. The parcel is located on the east side of East
Carol Avenue between Carol and Barroilhet Avenues. The original house on the parcel (built in 1916)
and the garage remain on the property today. All of the properties in this subdivision, as well as
neighboring subdivisions, were included in the original official incorporation of Burlingame in 1908. This
area is made up entirely of single family residential properties. The Town of Hillsborough lies six blocks
to the west of the subject property; the City of San Mateo lies one-half block to the south of the subject
property; and the Downtown Burlingame Commercial Area lies two blocks to the north of the subject
property.
10. Other public agencies whose approval is required: There are no permits required from other public
agencies. However, San Mateo County is a responsible agency. A building permit is required from the
Burlingame Community Development Department, Building Division.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one
impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency).
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE
X
DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be
a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the
project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a " potentially significant impact" or" potentially significant unless
mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures
based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all
potentially significant effects (1) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, and (2) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,
nothing further is required.

Initial Study Summary 19 East Carol Avenue
Land use and Planning Summary: No Impact. The subject property is currently occupied by a single -story
house and detached garage. The Zoning Code requires a minimum lot size of 5,000 SF for lots in this area,
based on City of Burlingame Ordinance No. 712, and this lot is 6,000 square feet in area. The Zoning Code
allows one residential unit per lot in this area. The project is subject to single family residential Design Review.
The general plan would allow a density of 8 units to the acres and the application is for one replacement unit on
0.14 acres, a density of 7 units per acre. Therefore, this proposal is consistent with the General Plan and zoning
requirements.
The subject property is within the Glenwood Park Subdivision, which abuts the Burlingame Heights Subdivision
to the west and the City of San Mateo to the south, and which was included in the original official incorporation of
Burlingame in 1908. The surrounding properties are developed with single family residences, all of which are
within the City of Burlingame city limits.
The proposed residence conforms to all measurable requirements of the zoning code. The Planning
Commission will review the project and determine compliance with Design Review criteria.
Population and Housing Summary: No Impact. This site and the surrounding area are planned for low -
density residential uses. The proposed redevelopment of an existing single family dwelling to replace an existing
residence on the site conforms to the City of Burlingame General Plan and Zoning Code regulations and does
not represent any alteration to the planned land use in the area. The project is consistent with the City's Housing
Element. The proposed project will not create any more housing because it is replacing an existing single family
dwelling on the same parcel.
Geologic Summary: No Impact. The site is flat and located in a semi -urban setting which has been developed
with single family residential dwellings for the last 100 years, with most of the lots in vicinity over 6,000 SF in
area. There will be less seismic exposure to people and equipment than at present, since the new single family
residence will comply with current California Building Code seismic standards. The site is approximately two
miles from the San Andreas Fault. The project will be required to meet all the requirements, including seismic
standards, of the California Building and Fire Codes, 2010 Edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame, for
structural stability.
Water Summary: No Impact. This project will replace an existing residence on a currently occupied parcel. The
subject property is not adjacent to a waterway. The project site is located in Flood Zone B, which is outside the
100-year flood zone. The site ties into an existing 4-inch water line along Crescent Avenue and storm water
collection distribution lines which have adequate capacity to serve the existing building. All of the surface water
will be required to drain to the street. There will be an insignificant increase to the amount of impervious surface
area due to the increase in the footprint of the proposed structures and driveway width. This added impervious
surface will cause a slight increase in storm water runoff, but is considered insignificant given the size of the lot
and the remaining pervious areas. Since the site is less than 5 acres, the project is not subject to the state -
mandated water conservation program; although water conservation measures as required by the City will be
met.
Air Quality Summary: No Impact. The proposed application is for a new single family dwelling to replace an
existing residence on an existing developed site. While this project will accommodate a larger dwelling unit for
habitation, the change in emissions is insignificant. The subject property is zoned for low -density residential
development and with proper adherence to regional air quality requirements during construction; the proposed
project will not create any deterioration in the air quality or climate, locally or regionally. Demolition or removal of
the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall be required to comply with all the
regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
-11-
Initial Study Summary 19 East Carol Avenue
Transportation/Circulation Summary: No Impact. The site is on East Carol Avenue, a local street that
provides access to Barroilhet Avenue, which connects to El Camino Real, a regional arterial. This project will not
create an increase in traffic in the area. All arterial, collector, and local roadway systems in the City have the
capacity to accommodate any temporary incremental increase to traffic or trip generation produced by the
temporary construction activities. The proposed single-family dwelling meets the on -site parking requirement
established in the zoning code.
Biological Resources Summary: No Impact. The site currently contains an existing single family residence
and detached garage. There are no existing protected size landscape trees on the property. In accordance with
the City's Reforestation Ordinance, each lot developed with a single-family residence is required to provide a
minimum of one, 24-inch box -size minimum, non -fruit tree, for every 1,000 SF of living space. The proposed
landscape plan for the project complies with the reforestation requirements. The landscape plan indicates that
that a total of four (4) 24" box size trees will be planted throughout where a minimum of two (2), 24-inch box size
trees are required.
Energy and Mineral Resources Summary: No Impact. All gas and electric services are in place for service to
the homes in this area, with capacity to handle the redevelopment of an existing single-family residence
proposed with the current application. It is likely that there will be no incremental increase to the use of energy
because the new residence will comply with current Title 24 requirements, which requires energy efficient
construction.
Hazards Summary: No Impact. This project has been designed to comply with all applicable zoning
regulations. By its residential nature, this project will not be releasing any hazardous materials into the
environment and will not interfere with any emergency response or evacuation plans the City of Burlingame may
need to implement. There are no known health hazards on the site. Compliance with the California Building and
Fire Code requirements as amended by the City of Burlingame will ensure that people in the new structure are
not exposed to health hazards or potential health hazards. NPDES Best Management Practices are required to
ensure that runoff from the site does not contribute to pollution of adjacent waterways.
Noise Summary: No Impact. The site has been occupied by a single family dwelling for many years. With the
development of a new single family dwelling there will be no increase to the noise in the area. The noise in the
area will be general residential noise such as vehicles coming to and from the house, sounds from the residents
when using the backyard and noises from putting out garbage cans. The new structure will be compliant with
current construction standards, including increased insulation, which also provides for noise attenuation.
All construction must abide by the construction hours established in the municipal code, which limits construction
hours to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 10:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
Public Services Summary: No Impact. The project is not expected to have a significant impact on the
provisions of other public services, since this is an urbanized area with adequately sized existing public facilities
in place. All existing public and governmental services in the area have capacities that can accommodate the
proposed use.
Utilities and Service Systems Summary: No Impact. The subject property contains an existing single family
dwelling and therefore has all necessary utilities on -site. To prevent wastewater from contaminating the water
supply, a backflow prevention device is required to be installed as per Ordinance Number 1710, effective June
18, 2003. The current solid waste service provider is Recology San Mateo County, which sends solid waste
collected in Burlingame to the Shoreway Environmental Center and Ox Mountain Landfill. Construction activities
would generate waste during the construction phase. The general contractor will be required to recycle and to
reduce the waste stream by transporting the construction waste separately. Solid waste generated during
operation of the project would be typical for residential use, and would not be considered substantial.
-12-
M
Initial Study Summary 19 East Carol Avenue
The City of Burlingame has also adopted an ordinance requiring recycling of construction waste and demolition
debris. The ordinance requires that 60 percent of the total waste tonnage generated from project construction
shall be diverted from the waste stream. The applicant is required to complete a Recycling and Waste Reduction
Form to be reviewed and approved by the Chief Building Official. It is required that records shall be kept and
submitted to the City prior to the final inspection of the project.
Aesthetics Summary: No Impact. The site currently contains a smaller single -story house, and the proposed
larger, single -story house may have a minor visual impact on the existing streetscape. The project is subject to
residential Design Review to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. The proposed house will
cover 40% of the lot and will be 2,305 SF in area. The height, as measured from average top of curb, will be 19'-
8" and will be setback 20'-8" from the street. Exterior materials on the single family dwelling will consist of
shingle siding with horizontal wood siding on the base, wood tapered columns with stone veneer base and
composition shingle roofing. The detached one -car garage will also consist of shingle siding and asphalt
shingle roofing. The windows will be aluminum clad framed with simulated true divided lites and wood trim.
Exterior lighting provided on the lot will be required to conform to the City's Illumination Ordinance (1477), which
requires all illumination to be directed onto the site.
With the proposed building placement and landscape plan, views from surrounding properties will be minimally
impacted. The most apparent visual change will be from East Carol Avenue where the existing house will be
replaced with a new single -story facade. The neighborhood consists of a variety of styles, with a mix of one and
two-story dwellings. The subject property will be consistent with the development in this area.
Cultural Resources Summary: Less Than Significant Impact. The existing house on the property was built in
1916. Based upon documents that were submitted to the Planning Division by a Burlingame Citizen on
September 25, 2009, it was indicated that the entire subdivision within which this property is located (Glenwood
Park) 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.
An Historic Resource Evaluation was completed by Page & Turnbull, Inc. in June, 2012, which concluded that
based upon the State of California Resource Agency's four Criterion for a Historical Resource, the residence at
19 East Carol Avenue retains sufficient historic integrity to be considered a contributing resource to a potential
historic district, but it is not eligible for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. Those
four criterion include: Events for local significance as a resource; Persons as a resource associated with the
lives of persons important to local history; Architecture that "embodies the distinctive characteristics of a time and
period"; and Information Potential.
The following is an excerpt from the Historic Resource Evaluation that was conducted by Page & Turnbull, Inc.:
"The house at 19 East Carol Avenue is not currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National
Register) or the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register). The building does not appear in
the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), indicating that no record of previous surveyor
evaluation is on file with the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The City of Burlingame does not
currently have a register of historic properties, and therefore the property is not listed locally.
Constructed in 1916, the house at 19 East Carol Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in
the National or California Registers under Criterion A/1 (Events) for any association with events that have made
a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or
the United States. The house does convey contextual significance as a single-family residence associated with
the development of the Glenwood Park subdivision, but it does not appear significant or influential in the
development of the neighborhood. Rather, it appears to be one of many residences constructed during the late
1910s, and is not individually significant within this historic context. Therefore, the property does not appearto be
individually eligible for listing under Criterion A/1.

Initial Study Summary 19 East Carol Avenue
The house at 19 East Carol Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or
California Registers under Criterion B/2 (Persons). The most notable long-term residents were Rowland and
Eleanor Wilford, who lived at the property from 1937 until 1993. In 1930, the couple moved from San Francisco
to Burlingame where they started the Wilford Travel Bureau, described in a 1991 San Mateo Times article as
having been the only travel agency between San Francisco and Santa Barbara at that time. Between 1930 and
the 1990, the Wilford Travel Bureau operated from a variety of locations in Burlingame, including 143 Park Road,
1311 Howard Street, 211 Park Road, and 1454 Burlingame Avenue from 1958 onward. Rowland Wilford served
as a past president and national director for the Northern California American Society of Travel Agents, while
Eleanor was active with the Daughters of the American Revolution. Overall, the Wilfords appear to have been
respected members of the Burlingame community, but they do not appear as persons significant to history. Both
Rowland and Eleanor died in the mid-1990s. The house at 19 East Carol Avenue does not appear to be
individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under Criterion C/3 (Architecture) as a
building that embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The building is
a modest example of a Craftsman bungalow, but it is not a distinctively strong or prominent example of the style.
Rather, the building employs relatively typical design conventions and does not appear to be an influential or
noteworthy example of residential construction in the neighborhood. Therefore, the property is not individually
significant for its architectural merit and does not appear eligible for listing in under Criterion C/3.
This property was not assessed for its potential to yield information important in prehistory or history, per
National Register and California Register Criterion D/4 (Information Potential). This Criterion is typically reserved
for archeological resources, and is beyond the scope of this report.
The house at 19 East Carol Avenue retains integrity of location and setting. It is situated on its original lot, and
the surrounding Glenwood Park neighborhood remains a residential area largely characterized by single-family
houses. The property has experienced relatively few exterior modifications since its construction, the most
notable being the enclosure of a portion of the porch in 1954. This alteration did alter the spatial relationships
and massing at the front of the property, but was done with some deference to the existing materiality of the
dwelling. Thus, while integrity of design is mildly compromised, the house retains overall integrity of materials,
workmanship, and feeling. The building has also remained in use as a single-family dwelling throughout its
history and retains integrity of association. Overall, the house at 19 East Carol Avenue is able to convey its
essential historic character as an early twentieth-century Craftsman Style dwelling and therefore retains historic
integrity.
19 East Carol Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers
under any criteria. The California Historical Resource Status Code (CHRSC) of "6Z" has been assigned to 19
East Carol Avenue, meaning that it was "found ineligible for National Register, California Register or Local
designation through survey evaluation." This designation is based on the property's lack of individual significance
under the National Register and California Register eligibility criteria.
This conclusion does not address whether the building would qualify as a contributor to a potential historic
district. A cursory inspection of the surrounding area reveals a high concentration of early twentieth century
residences, although many appear altered to varying degrees. Additional research and evaluation of Glenwood
Park as a whole should be done to verify or refute the neighborhood's eligibility as a historic district.
Recreation Summary: No Impact. The proposed project does not replace or destroy any existing recreational
facilities, nor does it displace any proposed or planned recreational opportunities for the City of Burlingame. The
