Applicant and Architect: James Neubert, Architect Property Owner: Michael Stein and Annat Elazari General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 027-154-210 Lot Area: 11,467 SF Zoning: R-1 Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition. Site description: The address of 1125 Jackling Drive consists of two separate parcels, which currently have the same owner. Parcel 2 (APN: 027-331-030, 17,980 SF) runs adjacent to Jackling Drive and is the town of Hillsborough. This lot is not suitable for development because Easton Creek runs through the majority of the parcel. Parcel 1 (APN: 027-154-210, 11,467 SF) is located just beyond Parcel 2, is in the City of Burlingame, and is the site of a residence which was substantially remodeled/rebuilt in 2004. Parcel 1 has no frontage on a public right-of-way; the property is accessed by a wood and steel auto bridge that runs from Jackling Drive and across Parcel 2 at a point intersecting with the right side property line for Parcel 1. The front property line for Parcel 1 (the subject property) measures 67.79' and is located at the southwest side of the parcel. This designation was made because the Burlingame Zoning Code defines the lot front as the shortest frontage. Because of the foliage in and around the creek and because of the width of Parcel 2, Parcel 1 and the existing house are not visible from Jackling Drive at almost any point except for across the access bridge. At the shortest distance, the existing house on Parcel 1 is approximately 90 feet from the asphalt of Jackling Drive. Parcel 1 slopes up approximately 24 feet from the front and right side property lines to the rear, left corner of the lot. There are existing retaining walls that run along the left side and rear of the property. On Parcel 2, adjacent to Jackling Drive, there is a steep slope down from Jackling Drive into the creek bed and then up to the other side (leading to Parcel 1). There are two, 4-foot wide Public Utility Easements on the property that run adjacent to the front and right side property lines; one is a sewer easement and the other is a PG&E easement. Project Description: The existing house is considered a single -story house with a lower level half story and a basement. The lower level half story at the right side includes stairs, a bedroom, and portions of the den and bathroom. Some areas adjacent to the lower level, including the full wine cellar and portions of the den and the bathroom meet the definition of a basement and are therefore exempted from floor area calculations. The existing house has and a large roof area, with existing 10'-10" ceiling heights on the main floor and a 14:12 pitch roof above. There is no permanent access, such as a stair, to the area over the existing first floor and this space is unfinished attic area. The applicant proposes a second story for the existing, single story house with a lower level and a basement. The total proposed floor area is 4,519 SF (0.39 FAR), where 4,769 SF (0.42 FAR) is the maximum allowed (including the basement exemption). Design Review 1125 Jackling Drive The proposed additions will take place on the first floor to the left of the entrance and in the existing attic area, which will be made accessible with a staircase, will be enlarged with dormers in the existing roof line, and the space will be finished as habitable area. The ridges of the proposed dormers are 10 inches lower than the existing highest roof ridge. The existing attached garage will not be altered except to remove the cabinets that currently encroach into the required covered parking length. With the removal of the cabinets, there are two covered parking spaces (20' x 20') in the garage and an additional uncovered parking space in the driveway leading to the garage. The existing house has 4 bedrooms and with the new second story, the number of bedrooms on site will increase to 5. The 3 existing parking spaces meet the code requirement for a 5-bedroom house. The existing site contains a total of six protected sized trees, 2 oak trees in the left side yard, 2 oak trees and 1 bay tree in the front yard, and 1 bay tree at the right side of the rear yard. No existing trees are proposed to be removed nor does any of the proposed construction infringe on any tree protection zones. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications ■ Design Review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2)). 1125 Jackling Drive Lot Area: 11,467 SF Plans date stamped: May 17, 2018 EXISTING PROPOSED ALLOWED/REQ'D SETBACKS .................... -----..... _......................... _.._......... _.............. —._ ... _.......................... _..;.._....._...__...._...._..-.._....- Front (1st fir): .................. _.._...... _.._.._..................................... ......... 20'-0" No change 15'-0" (2nd fir): --- 63'-6" 20'-01, ........................... ............... _................................................. ........................ _.... --- ....... -.......... .. .

' Existing, non -conforming rear setback. 2 (0.32 x 11,467 SF) + 1100 SF = 4,769 SF (0.42 FAR) Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on May 14, 2018, the Commission had one suggestion regarding this project and voted to place this item on the regular action calendar when all information has been submitted and reviewed by the Planning Division (see attached May 14, 2018 Planning Commission Minutes). The applicant submitted revised plans date stamped May 17, 2018, to address the Planning Commission's suggestion that all of the proposed dormers be revised to have a hip roof that reflects the existing roof hip on the house. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on April 20, 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; 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. Suggested Findings for Design Review: The proposed second floor for the house is tucked in to the existing roofline so that the primary massing for the house is not altered and does not significantly impact any neighboring properties. The details for the proposed addition, including the hipped dormer slate roof, the pre -cast concrete window sills, and the foam stucco mold trim are compatible with the existing architectural style of the house. The significant amount of large-scale landscaping on the subject site and on the adjacent parcel that runs parallel to Jackling Drive screen the proposed addition from the right-of-way and from neighboring properties. For these reasons the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria. -3- Design Review 1125 Jackling Drive 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.
