City of Burlingame Item No. 5
Design Review and Special Permit Design Review Study
Address: 1477 Bernal Avenue Meeting Date: March 10, 2014
Request: Application for Design Review and Special Permit for building height for a second story addition to
an existing single family dwelling.
Applicant and Designer: Robert C. Wehmeyer, Wehmeyer Design APN: 026-044-010
Property Owners: Evan and Caren Weinshel Lot Area: 6,000 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Summary: The subject property is located at the corner of Bernal Avenue and Adeline Drive. The existing
single story house with a detached garage, carport and patio cover contains 2,281 SF (0.38 FAR) of floor
area and has two bedrooms. The applicant is proposing a 1,013 SF second story addition. With this
application, the existing carport and patio cover would be removed (the existing carport was recently removed
due to poor condition). With the proposed addition, the floor area will increase to 2,833 SF (0.47 FAR) where
the zoning code allows a maximum of 3,302 SF (0.50 FAR). The proposed project is 199 SF below the
maximum allowed FAR and is within 6% of the maximum allowed FAR.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Permit for the overall building height as measured from the
average top of curb level along Bernal Avenue to the highest roof ridge (31'-6" proposed where 30'-0" is
allowed with a Special Permit). Planning staff would note that the finished floor of the existing house is 7'-8'/z"
above the average top of curb (see Proposed North Elevation on sheet A3.0). The area of the roof that
extends above 30'-0" is at the center peak of the house (see shaded areas on the building elevations and
roof plan).
With regards to declining height envelope, the applicant is applying the exemption allowed by C.S. 25.26.075
(b) (3), which allows the left side of the second story addition to extend beyond the declining height envelope
as long as the criteria are met (see C.S. 25.26.075 (b) (3)); the proposed project meets these criteria.
With the addition, the number of potential bedrooms will increase from two to four (the office on the first floor
does not qualify as a bedroom since the opening is 50% of the length of the office wall, as measured to the
built-ins/fireplace). Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on site. The existing
detached garage (11'-0" x 16'-8" clear interior dimensions) provides one covered parking space for the
proposed four -bedroom house. Although the existing covered parking space is nonconforming, a parking
variance is not required since the garage is detached and there are no improvements proposed to it. One
uncovered space (9' x 20') is provided next to the garage where the carport was previously located. All other
Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a second story addition to an existing single-family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a)
(2)); and
■ Special Permit for building height (31'-6" proposed where 30'-0" is the maximum allowed) (C.S.
25.26.060 (a) (1)).

Prevent onProgram Lle4r, Wooer. Hulthy [ommunny. Requirements for Architectural Copper
Protect water quality during installation, cleaning, treating, and washing!
Copper from Buildings May Harm Aquatic Life
Copper can harm aquatic life in San Francisco Bay. Water that comes
into contact with architectural copper may contribute to impacts,
especially during installation, cleaning, treating, or washing. Patination
solutions that are used to obtain the desired shade of green or brown
typically contain acids. After treatment, when the copper is rinsed to
remove these acids, the rinse water is a source of pollutants.
Municipalities prohibit discharges to the storm drain of water used in the
installation, cleaning, treating and washing of architectural copper.
Use Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs)
discharges to storm drains.
gutter and drainpipe.
must be implemented to prevent prohibited
During Installation
• If possible, purchase copper materials that have been pre-patinated at the factory.
• If patination is done on -site, implement one or more of the following BMPs:
o Discharge the rinse water to landscaping. Ensure that the
rinse water does not flow to the street or storm drain.
Block off storm drain inlet if needed.
o Collect rinse water in a tank and pump to the sanitary
sewer. Contact your local sanitary sewer agency before
discharging to the sanitary sewer.
o Collect the rinse water in a tank and haul off -site for
proper disposal.
• Consider coating the copper materials with an impervious
coating that prevents further corrosion and runoff. This will
also maintain the desired color for a longer time, requiring
less maintenance.
Storm drain inlet is blocked to prevent
prohibited discharge. The water must be
pumped and disposed of properly.
During Maintenance
Implement the following BMPs during routine maintenance activities, such as power washing the roof,
re-patination or re -application of impervious coating:
• Block storm drain inlets as needed to prevent runoff from entering storm drains.
• Discharge the wash water to landscaping or to the sanitary sewer (with permission from the local
sanitary sewer agency). If this is not an option, haul the wash water off -site for proper disposal.
Protect the Bay/Ocean and yourself!
If you are responsible for a discharge to the storm drain of non-
stormwater generated by installing, cleaning, treating or washing
copper architectural features, you are in violation of the municipal
stormwater ordinance and may be subject to a fine.

No response required.
6. Declining Height Envelope (DHE) (Code Section 25.26.075)
► The applicant is applying to exempt the DHE along the interior side property line (adjacent to an existing
two-story house). In order to apply this exemption, Code Section 25.26.075 (b) (3) requires that four
criteria be met. Criteria (D) states the following: "If any portion of the second story of an existing two (2)
story house adjacent to either side of the lot complies with the declining height requirements, the adjacent
wall of the new construction shall not be exempt."
On the Proposed North Elevation, show the DHE on the adjacent house. If the result is that the adjacent
house does not comply with DHE, the proposed second floor addition on the subject house will exempt
from complying with the DHE. J-*�,,_,,
