Applicant and Designer: Hector Estipona, J Deal Associates Property Owner: Hugo Girol General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 028-291-120 Lot Area: 7,765 SF Zoning: R-1 Background: The subject property is located within the Burlingame Park No. 2 subdivision. Based upon documents that were submitted to the Planning Division by a Burlingame property owner in 2009, it was indicated that the entire Burlingame Park No. 2, Burlingame Park No. 3, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood Park subdivisions 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. Therefore, for any property located within these subdivisions, a Historic Resource Evaluation must be prepared prior to any significant development project being proposed to assess whether the existing structure(s) could be potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for this property by Page & Turnbull, Inc., dated July 25, 2019. The results of the evaluation concluded that 1548 Howard Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria. Project Description: The existing one-story house with a detached garage is located on an interior lot, contains 3,276 SF (0.42 FAR) of floor area, and has four bedrooms (den on first floor and sunroom on second floor qualify as bedrooms). The applicant is proposing a first floor remodel and second story addition to the existing house. The house and detached garage will have 3,961 SF (0.51 FAR) of floor area where 3,985 SF (0.51 FAR) is the maximum allowed (including front-facing covered porch exemptions). There is one existing tree on the property, which is not protected sized and proposed to be removed. A total of four landscape trees are required for this project; four new 24-inch box size landscape trees will be planted (see Landscaping Plan).. With the proposed project, there will be a total of four bedrooms in the house. A total of two on-site parking spaces are required, one of which must be covered. The existing detached garage is considered a finro-car garage (19'-7" wide x 23'-7" deep clear interior dimensions). Since only one covered parking space is required for the four-bedroom house and there are no significant improvements proposed to the detached garage, the existing garage is considered to provide two covered parking spaces. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following application: ■ Design Review for a first floor remodel and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2)). 2 , Design Review 1548 Howard Avenue 1548 Howard Avenue Lot Area: 7,765 SF Plans date stam ed: November 20, 2019 EXISTING PROPOSED i ALLOWED/REQUIRED Front Setback (1sf flr): 23'-7" No change ; 15'-0" or block average (2nd flr): 26'-5" � No change 20'-0" Side Setback (left): 11'-6" 10'-8" 4'-0" (right): 4'-2" No change 4'-0" � :............................. ......................................................................................................... _ ................................................................................ ........... .. � Rear Setback (1sf flr): 75'-1" 66'-5" 15'-0" (2nd flr): 96'-6" 76'-5" 20'-0" . .............................. ............... . , Lot Coverage: 2,398 SF 2,681 SF ! 3,106 SF 30.9% 34.5% 40% _ .. ........................................._..........................'......................._.......................................................................................___.............. ........................................ . . ..... , FAR: 3,276 SF 3,961 SF 3,985 SF' 0.42 FAR 0.51 FAR 0.51 FAR # of bedrooms: 4 4 --- ; .. � ................
