Design Review, Special Permit and Variance
Address: 463 Cumberland Road
Item No. 4
Action Item
Meeting Date: June 23, 2014
Request: Application for Design Review, Special Permit for declining height envelope and Side Setback
Variance for first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling.
Applicant and Architect: Una Kinsella
Property Owners: Brian and Barbara Kott
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 029-163-070
Lot Area: 5,750 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.
Project Description: The existing split level house and attached single-car garage contains 2,121 SF (0.37
FAR) of floor area and has three bedrooms. The applicant is proposing a first and second story addition at
the front and rear of the house. With the proposed project, there will be an increase in the floor area from
2,121 SF (0.37 FAR) to 2,779 SF (0.48 FAR) where 2,940 SF (0.51 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The
proposed project is 161 SF below the maximum allowed FAR and is therefore within 5% of the maximum
allowed FAR.
The first floor wall along the right side property line is nonconforming because it is set back 2'-10" where
4'-0" is the minimum required. The applicant is requesting a Side Setback Variance to extend the first floor
wall along the right side property line at the front and rear of the house (2'-10" existing and proposed where
4'-0" is the minimum required).
The second story wall along the right side property line is nonconforming because it encroaches into the
declining height envelope by 47 SF (3'-6" x 13'-6"). The applicant is requesting a Special Permit for
declining height envelope to extend the existing second story wall at the front and rear of the house. The
new wall will encroach into the declining height envelope by 65 SF (3'-6" x 13'-5" and 3'-6" x 5'-0").
The existing house contains four bedrooms (the existing utility room behind the garage qualifies as a
bedroom because it is enclosed and measures 70 SF in area). With this project, there is no increase in the
number of bedrooms (the existing utility room will be converted to laundry room, relocating the washer and
dryer from the garage). Therefore, two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on site
for a four-bedroom house. The existing attached garage provides one covered parking space (10' x 18'
clear interior dimensions provided where 10' x 18" is the minimum required for an existing garage). One
uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have
been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a first and second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2);
■ Special Permit for Declining Height Envelope (right side wall of the proposed second floor addition
encroaches in to the envelope by 65 SF (3'-6" x 13'-5" and 3'-6" x 5'-0") (C.S. 25.26.035 (c)); and
Side Setback Variance to extend the first floor wall along the right side property line at the front and
rear of the house (2'-10" existing and proposed where 4'-0" is the minimum required) (C.S.
25.26.072 (c) (1)).

Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Building, Parks, Fire, Engineering and Stormwater
Divisions.
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on June 9,
2014, the Commission had several questions and comments regarding the proposed 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 June 9, 2014 Planning Commission minutes).
The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans dated June 11, 2014, to address the Planning
Commission's questions and comments. Please refer to the copy of the June 9, 2014, Planning
Commission minutes included in the staff report for the list of Planning Commission questions and
comments.
Planning staff would note that since the design review meeting on June 9, 2014, the applicant eliminated the
request for a Parking Variance for number of parking spaces by converting the existing utility room, which
2
Design Review, Specia/ Permit and Variance 463 Cumberland Road
previously qualified as a bedroom, to a laundry room (the washer and dryer currently located in the garage
will be relocated to the new laundry room).
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:
1. 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.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit, 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.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
involved that do not apply generally to property in the same district;
(b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship;
(c) the granting of the application 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; and
(d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of
existing and potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.
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

Please note the following modificarions to the plans by UMK Architecture dated `revised 6/11/14' in response to
Planning Commission comments from the 6/9/14 hearing.
Planning Commission Comments
Chimney on Exterior Elevations does not reflect
shape of existing chimney.
It was advised to consider removing the request
for Parking Variance by handling the `Utiliry Rm'
differendy so that it would not be deemed a
bedroom.
Consider changing the Garage door upper panel
grids to something more in keeping with the style
of the house.
UMK Responses
The chimney has been adjusted to match the existing
conditions with straight right side and stepped
left side.
The Utility room has been revised to incorporate the
Washer/Dryer into the space.
The Garage door upper panel has been modified to
remove the diamond grid pattern to blend better
with the existing window pattern.
I hope that these responses address your comments and concerns. We look forward to presenting these
revised plans to the Planning Commission at the 6/23/14 hearing.
Respectfully,
� `�"^'�

DWELLING (UNA KINSELLA, ARCHITECT AND APPLICANT; BRIAN AND BARBARA KOTT,
PROPERTY OWNERS) STAFF CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
All Commissioners had visited the property. Commissioners Terrones and Loftis reported that
they had had conversations with the applicant. Reference staff report dated June 9, 2014, with
attachments. Community Development Director Meeker briefly presented the project description.
Questions of staff:
None.
Chair Bandrapalli opened the public comment period.
Brian/Barbara Kott and Una Kinsella represented the applicant.
They love Burlingame and their neighborhood.
Have tried to keep the neighbors fully informed of their plans.
Asking for a few special exceptions for the project in order to maintain the setback non-
conformity at the front and rear of the structure.
Commission comments:
■ Is the chimney being kept? (Kinsella — will replace with a wood-framed chimney and clad
it in stone.)
■ Where is the fifth bedroom? (Kinsella — the utility room off of the kitchen counts as a
potential fifth bedroom even though it is open to the kitchen and doesn't include a closet.)
■ Has spoken to the neighbors; they are all supportive of the proposal. Is concerned that a
future neighbor may be concerned about the reduced setback.
■ Was any thought given to setting back the second story a bit and making up the difference
on the rear of the home; could give a new neighbor a bit more of a sense of separation
between the structures. (Kinsella — this would result in a short section of roof and
revisions to other portions of the roof that would not be necessarily consistent with the
neighborhood.)
■ There are a significant number of trees on the right side of the property; will these remain?
(Kinsella — were originally going to remove trees, but now intend to maintain the large
Maple tree that can be seen from the street and remove one small Maple from the rear
yard.)
■ Was consideration given to moving the washer and dryer into the utility room from the
garage? Doing so would enhance the usability of the utility room. (Kinsella - didn't wish to
move the plumbing because the garage would never be considered a two car garage
even without the washer and dryer's presence. Strohmeier — could move the
washer/dryer and/or water heater into the utility room and eliminate its consideration as a
bedroom.)
EXCERPT — June 9, 2014 Planning Commission Minutes
463 Cumberland Road (Agenda Item 7)
• Some windows include divided lights, some do not; was any consideration given to
making them all the same? (Kinsella — prefer the large expanse of these picture
windows.)
■ Could a different garage door be provided that would fit better with the design of the
home? (Kinsella — will review and consider an alternate design.)
■ There may be enough unique circumstances to warrant granting the setback variances.
Not sure that the existence of a non-conforming garage can justify a parking variance for a
five bedroom home. The need for this variance is driven by the program of the project. If
the utility room were converted to a laundry room, then that space would not be counted
as a bedroom and a parking variance would not be necessary. Could also open up at
least fifty-percent of this room to the kitchen so that it wouldn't be considered a bedroom.
■ What is the utility room currently used for? (Kinsella — used as storage space for the kids.
Kott — there isn't a means of closing off the utility room from the kitchen.)
■ Is there a door between the utility room and the garage? (Kinsella — no.)
• Need better justification for the parking variance or eliminate it from the request by
revising the project to eliminate consideration of the utility room as a bedroom.
Public comments:
Mike Ortiz, 470 Cumberland Road, spoke:
Is supportive of design.
He and wife did a similar design years ago.
Likes the traditional look of the home.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Yie made a motion to place the item on the Regular Action Calendar when
complete.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Terrones.
Discussion of motion:
Include an enhanced porch with the design.
Chair Bandrapalli called for a vote on the motion to place this item on the Regu/ar Action
Calendar when p/ans have been revised as directed. The motion passed on a voice vote 6-0-0-1
(Commissioner Sargent). The Planning Commission's action is advisory and not appea/ab/e.
This item concluded at 8:59 p.m.

Subject: Information about our proposed renovation at 463 Cumberland Road
Hi Ruben,
My name is Brian Kott and my wife, Barbara, and I are the owners of 463 Cumberland Road. We wanted to
send you a brief email before tonight's meeting to let you know about the communications we have had with
our neighbors regarding our proposed renovation.
We have spoken to many of the neighbors on our street about the remodel and everyone has expressed both
support and enthusiasm for the remodel. Each of our neighbors noted the renovation will increase home value
on the street, and that our proposed design will fit in perfectly with the overall aesthetic of the street.
We were most concerned about the support of our next door neighbor to the right of us, Lynn Herrick at 467
Cumberland Road. As such, we reached out to her on Friday, 5/30, the first day the sign went up in our
yard. Lynn came to our house and we walked her through the house to show her the proposed renovations. We
also walked her through the plans. She seemed very supportive and happy for us.
On Monday, 6/2, Lynn came over again and said she wasn't sure if she had any concerns, but wanted to walk
through the remodel again. Lynn noted she wanted to better understand the impact on her house. We walked
through everything again and she was very appreciative.
On Friday, 6/6, my wife went to Lynn's house and offered a meeting with Lynn and our architect, Una, to
help her if she had any more questions or wanted to walk through everything again. She was incredibly
appreciative and said she would think about it.
On Saturday 6/7, Lynn came over and told us she had thought about it but didn't think a meeting with the
architect was necessary. She was supportive of the remodel. We told her to come talk to us if any other
questions came up.
We are really grateful of the suppoR from our neighbors as we try to cnha�ice our home.
Best,
Brian and Barbara Kott

Please be advised that the proposal to make significant
chanees/additions to the sin�le-familv home at 463 Cumberland Road
makes eminent good design sense. The plan, if implemented, would
meld this particular two-story dwellin�'s look with two other houses
located nearby, one next door, the other two doors away. All three
two-story homes were built bv R.W. Bessett in the late 1930s. iust arior
to the onset of World War II. They are very similar in appearance. The
aroaosed chan�es at 463 Cumberland, if aqproved, would match the
front of that home with the other two Bessett structures. The net effect
on the west side of Cumberland Road would be auite attractive. The
additional square footage envisioned appears to fit with city rules. For
all of the above reasons. we wholeheartedlv sunnort the brotiosed
improvements at 463 Cumberland Road. Thank you for your
�nncirlPrati�n
Yours.

15. The plans show that the right side of this structure is less than three feet from the
property line. Revise the plans to show that there are no openings on this side of the
building and that gable end venting and attic ventilation will be achieved through other
means. 2013 CBC §705.8.1 and Table 705.8
The response states: "Inset new 1S` and 2"d floor walls + 1.5" for 3"-1/2" side yard
setback."P/ease note that, although this is an existing building (home
constructed in 1940) openin_qs were never allowed within 3 feet of the propertv
line. Further, because this building is considered a new building, see comment
#10, all openings must comply with the current Building Code.
Provide construction drawings that clearly detail how all openings, existing
windows, new windows, gable end venting, and attic ventilation, will comply with
the Building Code by being placed more than 3 feet from the property line.
NOTE: A written response to item #15 and plans that specifically address item
#15 must be re-submitted before this project can move forward for Planning
Commission action.

Building Code for new structures. BMC 18.07.020
Note: Any revisions to the plans approved by the Building Division must be
submitted to, and approved by, the Building Division prior to the implementation
of any work not specifically shown on the plans. Significant delays can occur if
changes made in the field, without City approval, necessitate further review by
City departments or the Planning Commission. Inspections cannot be scheduled
and will not be performed for work that is not shown on the Approved plans.
11)Due to the extensive nature of this construction project the Certificate of
Occupancy will be rescinded once construction begins. A new Certificate
of Occupancy will be issued after the project has been finaled. No
occupancy of the building is to occur until a new Certificate of Occupancy
s been issued.
2)P ovide a complete demolition plan that includes a leaend and indicates existing
walls and features to remain, existing walls and features to be demolished, and
