Conditional Use Permits and Special Permit
Address: 1417 Bernal Avenue
Item No.
Action Item
Meeting Date: 03/10/08
Request: Conditional Use Permits and Special Permit to use a portion of an existing detached garage for
recreation purposes.
Applicant and Property Owners: Trent and Anne Wright APN: 026-054-050
Architect: Winges Architects, Inc. Lot Area: 6000 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 - Existing Facilities, Class 1, consists of the operation,
repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of existing public or private structures,
facilities, mechanical equipment or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond
that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.
Project Description: The existing two story house with a detached two-car garage contains 3,636 SF (0.60
FAR) of floor area and has four bedrooms. The existing floor area is nonconforming (3636 SF, 0.60 FAR
existing where 3420 SF, 0.57 FAR is the maximum allowed). However, because there is no increase in floor
area proposed, a Floor Area Ratio Variance is not required.
The applicant is proposing to remodel the existing detached garage in order to use a portion of it for recreational
purposes (rumpus room with a half-bathroom). A Conditional Use Permit is required to use a portion of the
detached garage for recreational purposes. A Conditional Use Permit is also required to have a toilet in an
accessory structure. The applicant is also proposing to remodel a portion of the first floor of the house. There is
no increase in footprint or floor area with the proposed remodeling to the accessory structure and main dwelling.
The existing detached two-car garage measures 567 SF (21' deep x 27' wide). With this project, the applicant is
proposing to maintain one covered parking space (10' x 20' clear interior dimensions) and convert the remaining
portion to a rumpus room (recreational purpose). A new one-hour rated fire wall would separate the parking area
from the rumpus room. A Special Permit is required to reduce the number of covered on-site parking spaces
from two to one. The proposed rumpus room would contain a bar area, including a refrigerator, counter and
sink, and a small bathroom with a sink and toilet. The proposed remodel to the accessory structure will include
electrical outlets, lighting, plumbing and wastewater/sewer connections. Exterior changes include new door and
windows, siding, and wood brackets. A Conditional Use Permit is required forwindows within 10'-0" of property
line and for windows located more than 10'-0" above grade.
The following applications are required for the proposed addition to the existing detached garage:
■ Conditional Use Permit to use a portion of an existing detached garage for recreation purposes (rumpus
room) (CS 25.60.010, m);
■ Conditional Use Permit for windows within 10'-0" of property line and more than 10'-0" above grade (CS
25.60.010, i);
■ Conditional Use Permit for a toilet in an accessory structure (CS 25.60.010, j); and
■ Special Permit for a reduction in the number of covered parking spaces (two covered to one covered)
(CS 25.28.035, b).
The existing house has four bedrooms. Two on-site parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required
for a four-bedroom house. The proposed covered parking space contains 10' x 20' clear interior dimensions and
complies with the minimum covered parking space dimensions (10' x 20' clear interior dimensions required).
One 9' x 20' uncovered parking space is provided in the driveway.

Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Marshal, City Engineerand NPDES
Coordinator.
Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission study meeting on February 25, 2008, the Commission had several
comments regarding this project (February 25, 2008 Planning Commission Minutes). The architect submitted a
response letter dated February 27, 2008, and added notes to the plans dated stamped February4, 2008. Listed
below are the Commissions' comments and responses by the applicant.
1. Clarify why fhe rumpus room is nof considered fo be a bedroom.
• The "rumpus room" in the accessory structure is not considered a bedroom because the Planning and
Building Divisions do not allow this room to be used for living purposes as a second unit. Condition of
approval #3 addresses this issue.
In his response letter, the applicant also notes that the number of existing bedrooms in the main dwelling
is being decreased by converting an existing bedroom to a study room. The study room has a wall that is
50% open into the kitchen and family room (with pocket doors) and contains built-in desks.
2. Clarify type and style of windows and doors.
• In his response letter dated February 27, 2008, the architect notes that simulated true divided lite wood
windows and doors will be used. The design of the windows will relate to the other craftsman style
windows at the front of the house. The windows and doors will either be painted or aluminum clad to
match the other windows on the house. These notes have also been added to the plans (see sheet
A5.1).
3. Idenfify type of siding (size, shape, material) on garage.
• The architect notes that the siding will be horizontal 1x8 V-joint, tongue and groove siding, painted to
match the wood trim on the house. The brackets and other architectural elements will be clear cedar
painted and also painted to match. The notes also indicate that the stucco texture and color will match
other stucco on the house. These notes have also been added to the plans (see sheet A5.1).
Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant Conditional Use Permits to use a portion of an existing
detached garage for recreation purposes (rumpus room), for windows within 10'-0" of property line and more
than 10'-0" above grade, and for a toilet in an accessory structure, the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020, a-c):
(a) The proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or
improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or
convenience;
(b) The proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general plan
and the purposes of this title;
(c) The planning commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary
to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the
aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity.

Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit for a reduction in the number of covered
parking spaces, the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code
Section 25.51.020 a-d):
(a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are
consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood;
(b) the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure or
addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood;
(c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and
(d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is
consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation for the removal that is proposed is
appropriate.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. 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 Division and date
stamped February 4, 2008, sheets T-1, A1.1, A2.1, A2.2, A3.1 and A5.1;
2. that the accessory structure shall only be used for parking (one covered parking space) and for
recreational purposes with a half-bathroom (toilet and sink);
3. that the accessory structure shall never include a kitchen, there shall be no shower or tub added
without an amendment to this Conditional Use Permit, and the accessory structure shall never be used
for living purposes as a second dwelling unit;
4, that the conditions of the Chief Building Official's February 8, 2008, memo, the City Engineer's and Fire
Marshal's February 11, 2008, memos, and the NPDES Coordinator's February 13, 2008, memo shall be

Dear Staff and Planning Commission:
.,.,� .,.. , � _,.
'�3 `L 7 1.U[�8
The following are responses to the several items mentioned at the Monday night study
session, to ciarify details on the plans:
1. Type of Windows and French Doors: We will use wood windows with simulated true-
divided lites. The windows will be in the configurations shown to relate to the other
craftsman style windows at the front of the house. Exterior finish will be either painted,
or aluminum clad, to match color of other windows on the house.
2. The siding above the doors at the garage structure will be horizontal 1 x 8 V-joint,
tongue and groove siding, painted to match wood trim on house. Brackets and
embellishments will be clear cedar painted, also to match.
The plans have been marked accordingly.
Please also note the comments on the original application regarding the parking
provided on the site—there is no total loss of parking spaces, except that one has been
moved from inside the garage to the paved area outside, and not in tondem with the
remaining garage door.
We have also changed one existing bedroom into an open study facing the
kitchen/family room, with built-in desks, 50% open to the adjoining room. Therefore, we
are reducing the bedroom count from 4 to 3, which reduces parking needs.
Parking should not be an issue on this project.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very Truly Yours,
Jerry L. Winges, AIA
Principal.

Why will the structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or general welfare?
Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater systems, water
supply safety, and thing which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., underground storage tanks, storage of chemicals,
situations which encourage the spread of rodents, insects or communicable diseases).
Public safetv. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection? Will alarm systems or sprinklers
be installed? Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need for police services (i.e., noise, unruly
gatherings, loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use of flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous
activities like welding, woodwork, engine removal).
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's policy and goals for
conservation and atvelopment? Is there a social benefit?
Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or parking for this site or
adjacent sites)? Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as the elderly or handicapped?
2. How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with the
Burlingame General Plan and Zoning Ordinance?

state why. If changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match existing architecture, pattern of
development on adjacent properties in the neighborhood? If a use will affect the way a neighborhood or area looks, such as a
long term airport parking lot, compare your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it fits.
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? if there is no change to the
structure, say so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation, etc. with other structures in the
neighborhood or area.
How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image
or tone established by size, density of development and general pattern of land use. W ill there be more traffic or less parking
available resulting from this use? If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare your project with

1. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will nof be detrimental
or injurious to property or improvements in the viciniiy or to public health,
safety, general welfare or convenience.
How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those properties? If
neighboring properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting, paving, landscaping sunlighUshade,
views from neighboring properties, ease of maintenance.
Why will the structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or general welfare?
Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater systems, water
supply safety, and thing which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., underground storage tanks, storage of chemicals,
situations which encourage the spread of rodents, insects or communicable diseases).
Public safety. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection? Will alarm systems or sprinklers
be installed? Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need for police services (i.e., noise, unruly
gatherings, loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use of flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous
activities like welding, woodwork, engine removal).
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's policy and goals for
conservation and ac;velopment? Is there a social benefit?
Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or parking for this site or
adjacent sites)? Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as the elderly or handicapped?
2. How will the proposed use be located and conducfed in accordance with the
Burlingame General Plan and Zoning Ordinance?
Ask the Planning Department for the general plan designation and zoning district for the proposed project site. Also, ask for an
explanation of each. Once you have this information, you can compare your proposal with the stated designated use and
zoning, then explain why this proposal would fit accordingly.
3. How will the proposed project be compatible wifh the aesthetics, mass, bu/k
and character of the existing and pofential uses on adjoining properties in the
general vicinity?
How does the proposed structure or use compare aestheticaily with existing neighborhaod? If it does not af�ect aesthetics,
state why. If changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match existing architecture, pattern of
development on adjacent properties in the neighborhood? If a use will affect the way a neighborhood or area looks, such as a
long term airport parking lot, compare your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it fits.
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change to the
structure, say so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation, etc. with other structures in the
neighborhood or area.
How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image
or tone established by size, density of development and general pattern of land use. W ill there be more traffic or less parking
available resulting from this use? If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity? Compare your project with
existing uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity, and/or state why your project would
be consistent with potential uses in the vicinity.

Staff Review: February 11, 2008
While the project appears to not require sprinklers based upon proposed addition
and remodel, the project is close. Be advised where more than one (1) addition
and/or alteration for which building permits are required are made within a two (2)
year period and said alterations are made to the premises of the same occupant. In
such circumstances, the sum of these additions and/or alterations construction costs
during this two (2) year period shall be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the
replacement cost value formula. Final determination will be made and the plan
review phase of the project.
It is very important that you understand the threshold indicated by BMC §17.04.030.
Designer, contractor, and owner should communicate specifically the extent of
demolition and remodel. Keeping in mind any change orders and addendums
which increase the total amount of square footage added or remodeled after
plan review would be applied to the sprinkler ordinance.

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOIL BROSION?
— . � � �
Water and wind carry soil from our Bay Area land down into our
streams, Iakes and the Bay. This soil carries with it po11u-
tants suci-i as oiI and grease, chemicaIs, fertilizers, animal
wastes andbacteria, which threaten our water quality.
Such erosion also costs the home construction industry, Ioca1
governmen;, and the homeowner untold millions of dollars
a year.
Nature slowly wears away Iand, but human activities such as
construction inaease the rate of erosion 200, even 2,000 times
that amount. When we remove vegetation or other objects that
hold soil in place, we expose it to the action of wind and water
and increase its chances of eroding.
The Ioss of soil from a construction site results in Ioss of topsoil,
minerals and nutrients, and it causes ugly cuts and gullies in the
Iandscape. Surface runoff and the materials it carries with it clog
our culverts, flood channeIs and streams. Sometimes it destroys
wildlife and damages recreational areas such as lakes and re-
servoirs.
As an example, road and home buiIding in the Oakland hills
above Lake Temescal filled the Iake to such an extent that it had
to be dredged in 1979 at a public cost of $750,000.

ABAG has produced a slide/tape show on soil erosion
called "Money Down the Drain. " It is available for showing
to any interested group. CaII ABAG Public Affairs at (415)

ABAG has also published a"Manual of Standards for Sur-
face Runoff Control Measures" which deals extensively
with designs and practices for erosion prevention, sedi-
ment control, and control of urban runof£ The manual
addresses problems and solutions as they apply to
California and the Bay Area. It can be purchased from
ABAG and is available on reference at many Iocal Iibraries
and in city and county public works and planning depart-
ments.

Inexpensive measures installed by fall will give you
protection quickly that wi1l Iast a11 during the wet
season.
In one at�ernoon you caa:
• Dig trenches to drain surface runoff water away
from problem areas such as steep, bare slopes.
• Prepare bare areas on slopes for seeding by raking
the surface to Ioosen and roughen soil so it will
hold seeds.
TIPS FOR THE HOMEOWNE�
/ ' '`��
:� �i
Seediag of bare slopes
• Hand broadcast or use a"breast seeder." A typical
yard can be done in less than an hour.
• Give seeds a boost with fertilizer.
• Mulch if you can, with grass clippings and leaves,
bark chips or straw.
• Use netting to hold soil and seeds on steep slopes.
• Check with your local nursery for advice.
• ►
�nter alert
� Check before storms to see that drains and ditches
are not clogged by Ieaves and rubble.
� Check after major storms to be sure drains are clear
and vegetation is holding on slopes. Repair as
necessary.
� Spot seed any bare areas.

CONTROL BROSION
AND PRO?BC?
YOUR PROPERTY
Soil erosion costs Bay Area homeowners millions of dol-
Iars a year. We Iose valuable topsoil. We have to pay for
damage to roads and property. And our tax money has to
be spent on cleaning out sediment from storm drains,
channels, lakes and the Bay.
You can protect your prop-
erty an d prevent future
headacbes by following
these guidelines:
�
BBFORE AND
DURING
CONSTRUCTION
• Plan construction activities during spring and summer,
so that erosion control measures can be in place when
the rain comes.
• Examine your site carefully before buiIding. Be aware of
the slope, drainage patterns and soil types. Proper site
design will help you avoid expensive stabilization work.
Preserve existing vegeta-
tion as much as possible.
Limit grading and plant
removal to the areas
under current construc-
tion. (Vegetation will
naturally curb erosion,
improve the appearance
and the value of your
property, and reduce the
cost of fandscaping later. )
• Use fencing to protect plants from fill material and traffrc.
If you have to pave near trees, do so with permeable as-
phalt or porous paving blocks. �
• Preserve the natural contours of the land and disturb the
earth as Iittle as possible. Limit the time in which graded
areas are exposed.
• Minimize the Iength and
steepness of slopes by
� benching, terracing, or
constructing diversion
. _ - structvres. Landscape
� \``~�' benched areas to stabilize
, the slope and improve its
appearance.
• As soon as possible after grading a site, plant vegetation
on all areas that are not to be paved or otherwise
covered.
• Control dust on graded areas by sprinkling with water,
restricting traffrc to certain routes, and paving or gravel-
ing access roads and driveways.
TBMPORARY MBASURES TO
S?ABILIZE ?HE SOIL
Grass provides the
cheapest and most ef-
fective short-term ero-
sion control. It grows
quickly and covers the
ground completely. To
find the best seed mix-
tures and plants for
your area, check with
your Iocal nursery, the
U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture Soil Conserva-
tion Service, or the
University of California
Cooperative Extension.
Malches hold soil moisture and provide ground protection
from rain damage. They also provide a favorable envi-
ronment for starting and growing plants. Easy-to-obtain
mulches are grass clippings, Ieaves, sawdust, bark chips
and straw.
Straw mulch is nearly 1C�0% effective when held in place by
spraying with an organic glue or wood fiber (tackifiers), by
punching it into the soil with a shovel or roller, or by tack-
ing a netting over it.
Commercial applications of
wood fibers combined with
various seeds and fertiIizers
(hydraulic mulching) are effec- �
tive in stabilizing sloped areas. Ks-� '�r ��
Hydraulic mulching with a
tackifier should �` F�,� 'y
be done in two
separate appli- . . . , , - � '
cations: the first
composed of seed fertilizer and half the mulch, the second
composed of the remaining mulch and tackifer. Commer-
cia] hydraulic mulch applicators — who also provide other
erosion control services — are Iisted under "Iandscaping" in
the phone book.

Mats of excelsior, jute netting and plastic sheets can be ef-
fective te mporary covers, but they must be in contact with
the soil and fastened securely to work effectively.
Roof dra i�ge can be collected in barrels or storage con-
tainers or �outed into lawns, planter boxes and gardens.
Be sure to cover stored water so you don't collect mos-
quitos, too. Excessive runoff should be directed away from
your house. Too much water can damage trees and make
foundations unstable.
STRUCTURAL RUNOFF CONTROLS
Even with proper timing and planting, you may need to
protect disturbed areas from rainfall until the plants have
time to establish themselves. Or you may need permanent
ways to transport water across your property so that it
doesn't cause erosion.
To keep water from carrying soil from your site and dump-
ing it into nearby [ots, streets, streams and channels, you
need ways to reduce its volume and speed. Some exam-
ples of what you might use are:
• Riprap (rock Iining) — to
protect channel banks
from erosive water fIow
• Sediment trap—to
stop runoff carrying
sediment and trap the
sediment

• Diversioa dike or perimeter dike—to divert excess
water to places where it can be disposed of properly
• Straw bale dike—to stop and detain sediment from
small unprotected areas
(a short-term measure)
• Perimeter swale — to divert
runoff from a disturbed area
or to contain runoff within
a disturbed area
• Storm draia outlet
protectioa — to reduce
the speed of water fIow-
ing from a pipe onto
open ground or into a
natural channel

Pollution Prevention It's Part of the Plan
It is your responsibility to do the job right!
Runoff from streets and otherpaved areas is a rsajor source of pollution in local creeks, San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Construction activities can d'uectly affect the health of our waters unless contractors and crews plan ahead to keep dirt, dcbris, and other
construction waste away from storta drains and creeks. Following these guidelines will ensure your compliance with lxal stormwater
ordinance requirements. Remember, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of installed controls is crucial to proper implementation.
