City of Burlingame
Rear Setback Variance and Design Review for a Second Story Addition
Address: 1260 Bernal Avenue
Request: Design Review for a second story addition (CS 25.28.040)
Date Submitted: July 31, 1998
Applicant: Ken Ibarra
Property Owners: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Medeghini
Lot Area: 5,264 SF
General Plan: Medium Density Residential
Adjacent Development: Single Family Residential
Meeting Date: 2/8/99
APN: 026-172-340
Zoning: R-1
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15303 - Class 3- construction and
location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including (a) single-family
residences not in conjunction with the building of two or more such units. In urbanized areas, up
to three single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this exemption.
Requests for this Project: The applicant proposes to construct a 1078 SF second story addition
to add two bedrooms to an existing one-story, 2-bedroom residence. The project requires design
review.
Summary: The applicant proposes a 1078 SF second story addition with two bedrooms to be
added to an existing 2,751 SF single-story dwelling, resulting in a house with four bedrooms. The
house is located on a corner lot at 1260 Bernal Avenue at Easton Avenue, zoned R-1. The
project is subject to design review.
Since the project was first reviewed by the Planning Commission at their study session on
September 14, 1998, the applicant has reduced the size of the second story addition to eliminate
the need for the rear yard setback variance. The existing residence has an FAR of 52.5% (55%
allowed under previous R-1 regulations), and the revised project has an FAR of 61%. This
application was submitted prior to September 23, 1998, when the new R-1 Zoning Regulations
were adopted under Resolution 1602, therefore, the reduced Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limitations
adopted as part of the new ordinance do not apply to this project. The existing residence also
exceeds the maximum site coverage of 40% (52.3% existing and proposed), but no additional site
coverage is proposed with this application.
Staff Comments: The Chief Building Official, states (August 3, 1998 memo) that the proposal
constitutes new construction under the California Building Code. The City Engineer states
(August 3, 1998 memo) that drainage from the roof shall be addressed under the building permit.
The Fire Marshal had no comments on the project. Planning Staffwould note that this project
does not require a variance for FAR because it was submitted for review prior to the adoption of
the revised R-1 zoning requirements, and the 1078 SF being added does not exceed 50% of the
area of the existing residence, therefore, this project can not be defined as causing new
construction. Planning staff would also note that the applicant submitted documentation attached
to the staff report which documents previous discussions between the City and the previous
property owners and acknowledges that the patio was covered without a building permit. This
covered patio area contributes 335 SF to the site coverage and FAR. As part of this application,
the applicant now proposes to convert this non-conforming covered patio area to conditioned
space. .
Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Study Meeting on September 14, 1998, the
Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and requested that the applicant demonstrate the
hardship supporting the variance request. The applicant was also asked to erect story poles on
site to show the width and depth of the second story addition and to obtain written responses
from each neighbor regarding the review of the proposed plans. The applicant has since
redesigned the proposal to reduce the size of the second story addition and has eliminated the
need for a rear yard variance. Because the scope of the project was reduced, the applicant did not
erect story poles on site or petition the neighbors for their opinions of the original project.
At the study session, the Planning Commission requested the applicant to provide the history of
how the porch came to be enclosed. In response, the applicant has provided copies of the
previous owner's records and correspondence which demonstrate that building permits were
never issued to permit the enclosure of the covered porch area, and that this conversion was
considered by the City of Burlingame to be `non-conforming'. Previous owners had made
upgrades to the structure so that it complies with minimum building codes. This information also
includes a site survey which demonstrates that the interior side yard setback is 3'-2". This
paperwork is attached to the staff report.
Design Reviewer Comments: The project was originally submitted for review by the Design
Review consultant on August 17, 1998. The Design Review Consultant found that the original
proposal was in harmony with the existing character of the residence and that the scale and
proportion of the addition would be consistent with the older houses in the neighborhood.
Upon review of the December 22, 1998 resubmittal, the Design Review Consultant found the
reduced project to be more appropriate in scale with the existing residence and project site. The
same conditions of approval from the August 17, 1998 review were recommended to ensure that
the design of the addition would be consistent with the existing structure. The Design Review
Consultant recommended that the applicant match the eave, trim and window details of the
addition with the existing eave, trim and window details, particularly noting the type and
proportion of the windows.
Compliance with Zoning Regulations: The project is in compliance with the R-1 zoning
standards which were applicable at the time the application was submitted and originally
reviewed. No variances are required for this addition but staff has noted where the project
exceeds the current R-1 zoning standards.

N/A
* The existing first floor side and rear setbacks are nonconforming, but a variance is not required
because the addition will not extend beyond the required setbacks for second stories.
** The existing site coverage (52.3%) exceeds the maximum allowed (40%) by 646 SF; the
project proposes no new site coverage.
***The maximum FAR pursuant to Ordinance 1603, adopted September 23, 1998, does not
apply to this project because the application was originally submitted on July 31, 1998, prior to
adoption of this ordinance.
****The e�cisting and proposed Lot Coverage and FAR include the 335 SF from the covered
patio area; this area contributes 6.4% to the site coverage and FAR.
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No.1602
adopted by the Council on September 23, 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;
Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing.
Affirmation action should include findings and the reasons for any action should be clearly stated.
At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department
date stamped December 22, 1998, Sheets A-1 through A-4; and
2. that the applicant shall match the eave, trim and window detail of the addition with the
existing eave, trim and window detail of the first story of the residence;
3. that any changes to the size or envelope of the second floor, which would include adding
or enlarging a dormer(s), changing the roof height or pitch, or changing exterior materials
and windows shall be subject to design review; and
4. that the conditions of the Chief Building Official's August 3, 1998 memo shall be met and
the conditions of the City Engineer's August 3, 1998 memo shall be met; and
that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes,
1995 edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.

APPLICATION FOR REAR SETBACK VARIANCE FOR A SECOND STORY ADDITION
� SUBJECT TO DESIGN REVIEW AT 1260 BERNAL AVENUE, ZONED R-1. (KEN
IBARRA, APPLICANT AND RICHARD MEDEGHINI, AND WILLIAM R. AND M.A.
MEDEGHINI, PROPERTY OWNERS)
CP Monroe described the project and the commissioners asked: what is the definition of "new
construction" in the California Building Code; a 3754 SF house on a 5264 SF lot is over FAR,
why do the applicant's need all that room plus a 13' rear setback exception; are there other
options which do not require a rear setback variance, would like to see the rear setback for the
second floor at the 20 feet required; see a minor hardship on the property because the corner
of the lot is clipped but the size proposed is disproportionate to the amount of hardship, explain
hardship justifying request; place story poles on the site to show the width and depth of the
second story addition so can evaluate the impact on the house on Easton; want written response
from each neighbor regarding their review of the proposed plans; what is the history of how the
porch came to be enclosed, look at old assessor's records; the site plan shows a side setback of
3' on the interior side, the floor plans scale 2.5' on that side to property line, provide survey
to show actual existing setback; cannot accept exceptional circumstances as submitted by
applicant, redo; plans do not show the elevation to establish the point of departure for the
declining height envelope, show on plans. This item was set for public hearing at the meeting
on September 23, providing that all the responses are submitted to the Planing Department in
tune.

Revised comments have been included in BOLD type.
�• Compatibilitywith Neighborhood Style
iThere are no dominant styles in the neighborhood. This application proposes to harmonize with
the existing character of the residence. As a result it will fit in with the existing neighborhood. The
scale and proportion of the proposed components are consistent with the components of the
older houses in the neighborhood.
This comment remains unchanged from previous submittal.
Z• Parking and Garage Patterns
Not applicable
3• Architectural Style, Internal Consistency
The style of the addition is consistent with the style of the existing residence. As a condition of
approval, we recommend that proposed roof eave details match existing, that proposed windows
match existing in proportion, type, and muntin details. The plans do not fully indicate these
intentions.
This comment remains unchanged from previous submittal.
4• Interface with Adjacent Structures
Impacts on the adjacent structure have been minimized by holding portions of the addition back
from the building line. Window placement has followed the pattern of the existing residence and
generates a lower impact than that of.the previous addition at the adjacent site. �
The redesign has reduced the overall impact of the second floor. ��

Conclusion
This application represents a reasonable addition to the existing residence. Care should be taken
(and required) to ensure that proposed details actually do reflect existing conditions. Otherwise
the addition may look like it was simply dropped on to the roof.
The redesign has reduced the bulk of the second floor. The result is an addition that does
not dominate the first floor as much as the previous submittal.
Recommended Action:
Approval With Conditions: Match existing eave, trim and window details. Match existing
window type and proportions.

Dear Mr. & Mrs Loretz:
,�s r��qu��-�ed, fi have su���yed �our two lots on t�e corner of
Bernal Avenue and Easton Dri�re, Burlingame. Fro� thi� eurvey, I �
was ab�.e to determine t,'riat your present house is 3.80 feet from the
eide lot line common to lots 4 and 5. As I discussed wlth you, I _.
reviewed this with Mssrs. George �Iai1n a.nd George Marr, (7ity Planning
Director and City Engineer respectivel�, for the City of Burlingame.
The conclusions were:
1. The present houee i� in conforma.nce with the side �ard
eet-back of 3.00 feet aa re'quired at the time the house was built
(The present reo,uirement is 4.00 iee�t for a 1-story house and 5.�0..
feet Por a 2-q.tory house on a lot that is 50 feet in .�3.dth.). �:,�. �� '
� ` f c.'� t ' . : ; �
2. Since there are no s�ructuree on ldt 4� �he pr�sei�t hays`er c�, '
Iot 5 does not require a�ari ance, both lots meet the standarde f or
single f amily residential lots, i.e., they each are at ].east 50 f eet
t,ride, have the neceesary minimum land area of 5,000 squaxe feet, � .
hatie �roper f rontage on a public street, they are legal lots properly
subdivided by a normal subdivision map of record, $nd all improvements
are in and provided for; .they are indded legal bt?1l.ding sites axid thus
each lot.can ba �old separately and a house constructed on the va,ca.n�
lot 4, if so desired.
Fnclosed are six copips of my suxvey of
records. . .

December 7, 1983
Mr. Tim Auran
Real Property Sales
1243 Howard Avenue
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Mr. Auran:
You requested a written determination from the Planning Department regarding the
possibility of developing the vacant parcel north of I260 Bernal Avenue (Lot 4,
Block 35, Easton Addition No. 2). You were concerned that a Variance might be
required because the existing home on Lot 5 maintains a 3.2' side yard according
to a 1967 lot survey by Louis Arata, Civil Engineer (copy attached) rather than 4'
as is currently required..
The vacant parcel is, according to our records, a separate, buildable site. At the
time of construction of the existing house (c. 1946) 3' was the minimum required
sideyard. Further, the existing house is a'conforming' structure by today's
standards since the zoning code acknowledges existing 3' sideyards as an exception
to the subsequent 4'-0" minimum sideyard requirement. In other words, you can make
additions to these structures without hay.ing to obtain a variance.
Therefore, the development of the vacant lot will not create a nonconforming side-
yard condition on Lot 5.
This letter does not acknowledge any other potential nonconformities.that may exist
on Lot 5. We presume that required covered parking is provided within the existing
structure itself. Other potential nonconformities may include lot coverage, (40%
maximum allowed), height (30' maximum), front setback and rear yard (15' minimum
required} and side setback on Bernal (7.5' required).
Sincerely,
/�� �"�C�

1260 Bernal Avenue - Request for Cetter from
the City Ackno�wledging a Covered Porch Conversion
as an Existing Non-Conforming Use
February 25, 1986
Attached is a copy of the letter we received from the owners
of 1260 Bernal Avenue requesting a letter from the City
acknowledging that the conversion of a covered porch to a
family room is an existing non-conforming use. Also attached
is a copy of the previous owner of the property stating that
he did the work on the porch soon after he bought the property
in 1951.
Al1 our records, however, indicate that the conversion was
done some time after 1967. The original appraisal of the
property in 1946, followed by the Sanborn Map's representation
of the property around 1965 and a survey of the site in March,
1967 all show a covered porch rather than a family room.
Copies�of all this information are attached, as well as the
1979 aerial showing the outline of the property at that time.
Please let me know what further action we should take in this
matter in order to determine when the work on the porch was

To Whcgn it may concern, .
In Febn�aiy, 1984, I William Truettner and my wife r4onica Truettner, purchased
our hane at 1260 Be.rnal Aver_ue in Burlingame.
Recently, we put the house up for sale and naa we have afirm offer. In February
1986, a reauest was made by the appraiser for the lending institution,(wYiich is
E�reka Federal) for a building permit for a covered patio adjoining the house.
After s��e rc�earch, we foun� '�tlat a p�.�,1.it for t.he addition was never obtained.
[�Ihen we bought the house, no re�ruest for pernut was made by any party, and we
had no }mowledge that one was necessasy.
.As noted in the attached letter from previous a,mer Albert Loretz, the structure
was added prior to 1960.
This letter is to request a letter of existing non conform.ing structure fran
the City of Burlingame.
If an inspection is necessary, please call us at 348-7266 or 3a7-0822 to arrange
a time, due to time constraints in the pending offer, we would appreciate any
effort you can extend to exoedite the procedure.
We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Thank you very much, cordially,

To �vhom It May Concern,
I, r2r. Albert Loretz, purchased the hcme located at 1260 Bernal
Avenue, Burlingame California in 1951.
Soon after occupancy, I converted the enclosed patio to its present
condition as a family rocgn.

1260 Bernal Avenue - Request for Letter from the City
Acknowledging a Covered Porch Conversion as an Existing
Non-Conforming Use
February 28, 1986
I stopped by 1260 Bernal Avenue yesterday to check on the exact
location/condition of the porch conversion in question.
Although I could not get into the property, it appears the
porch/family room conversion is a 16' x 22' area to the rear of
the property, behind the garage. The roof on this structure
is lower than that on the rest of the house and the rear wall
appears to be made of blue tinted glass. In a subsequent
conversation with the real estate agent, he explained that the
roof of this structure was originally of glass as well, but due�
to the cold and extreme leakage, it was replaced with an asphalt
roof.
Does it ma difference that .the wall enclosing this room is
made of glass? Also, the problem in legalizing this room appears
to be t e coverage. However, since a covered porch counts toward
coverage, its conversion to an enclosed room would not affect
the coverage on the property. Therefore, what would be the
possibility of legalizing it - assuming it meets building code
standards?
Please let me know how we should proceed in this matter.

Attention: Wendy
RE: 1260 Bernal Avenue, Burlingame
To Whom it May Concern:
The covered porch to the rear of the property at 1260
Bernal Avenue is an existing non-conforming structure.
The glass walls enclosing this area have been replaced
with plastic as required by current building code
requirements for non-living areas.
