PROJECT LOCATION
1556 Cypress Avenue
City of Burlingame
Design Review
Address: 1556 Cypress Avenue
Item No. 8e
Regular Action Item
Meeting Date: October 28, 2019
Request: Application for Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family
dwelling and new detached garage.
Applicant and Designer: Tim Raduenz, Form+One APN: 028-295-080
Property Owners: Kasey and Bill Schuh Lot Area: 7,500 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 (e)(2), which states that additions to existing structures
are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000
SF in areas where all public services and facilities are available and the area in which the project is located is not
environmentally sensitive.
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 16, 2019.
The results of the evaluation concluded that 1556 Cypress Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for
listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria.
Project Description: The subject property is an interior lot and contains an existing two-story house with a
detached garage. The applicant is proposing a first floor addition at the front of the house (39 SF) and at the
rear of the house (174 SF). The existing second floor will be demolished and rebuilt with a new 1,398 SF
second floor. The existing detached garage will be replaced with a new 461 SF detached garage in the same
location on the lot. The proposed house and detached garage will total 3,873 SF (0.52 FAR) where 3,900 SF
(0.52 FAR) is the maximum allowed.
With this application, the number of bedrooms will be decreasing from five to four (proposed first floor office
does not qualify as a bedroom because one of its wall is open by more than 50%). Two off-street parking
spaces, one of which must be covered, are required for a four-bedroom house. The detached garage provides
two covered parking spaces (20'-1" x 20'-1" clear interior dimensions) and an uncovered parking space (9' x 20')
is provided in the driveway leading to the garage. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
At the front of the house is a protected size Victorian box tree that is in fair to poor condition. An arborist report
prepared by Kielty Arborist Services, dated June 27, 2019 (included within the plans), recommends that the tree
be heavily irrigated twice a month in order to supplement missing nutrients and to improve its condition. Located
at the rear right corner of the property is an Evergreen Pear tree that is in fair condition. Though it is far from the
proposed work, the arborist report recommends fencing at the dripline to discourage storage of work equipment
underneath the Evergreen Pear tree during project construction. In addition to the two existing on-site trees to
remain, a third tree (Japanese Maple) is proposed near the rear property line.
The applicant is requesting the following application:
Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling and new
detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010(a)(2)).

Design Review 1556 Cypress Avenue
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on September 9,
2019, the Commission had suggestions 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
September 9, 2019 Planning Commission Minutes). Listed below is a summary of the Commission's comments:
• Front Elevation
o brackets below addition above covered porch appear too small because there is no change in
plane; would like to see substantive change in plane in order for the bracket detail to work;
o chimney is currently not shown on the front elevation when it should be — please revise in the
drawings;
• Right Side Elevation
o sculpted walls of the upper fa�ade at the rear and at the front are not reflected on the plans
as they are on the 3D — would like to see a substantive thickness to the wall (at least 8
inches), please note on plans;
o sloped stucco surface feels like a patch solution, please revisit;
• Wavy wood siding
o note on drawings if it is to be painted, stained, or both;
o provide photos of example projects using the material;
• Brick chimney
o note on drawings that brick is being extended;
• Detached Garage
o note on drawings what the horizontal element is above the garage door, they wanted to
understand if it is a track for the barn door and if there is a separate pocket door.
Please refer to the applicanYs response letter (attached), dated October 11, 2019, and revised plans, date
stamped October 16, 2019, for a full response to the Planning Commission's suggestions.
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.
Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the addition
(combination of hip and gable roofs, proportional plate heights, wood gable ends, wood clad windows and doors,
and stucco siding) is compatible with the existing house and character of the neighborhood and that the windows
and architectural elements of the proposed structure are placed so that the structure respects the interface with
the structures on adjacent properties. Therefore, the project may be found to be compatible with the
requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
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:

Commission Questions/Comments:
> There is color noted for shutters. Are there shutters? (Raduenz: That is accent and something we
took off )
> Does not see a change in plane in the area over the arches. The brackets project but there is not
enough change in plane to provide the needed depth. (Raduenz: Noted.)
> Show sculpted lines in the elevation, not just the rendering. Needs to be subsfantive, not just a 2 x 4
thickness. (Raduenz: We will do a complete detail of that.)
> Top of the sloping wall does not seem to fit, needs to be worked out. (Raduenz: We can put some
work into that.)
> Will more brick be added to the chimney? (Raduenz: Likely to add brick and paint it.)
> Should chimney also be showing on the front elevation? (Raduenz: Will add it.)
> What is the thinking behind the siding pattern? (Raduenz: It is a European style. It can be painted, or
lots of times it is stained. It isn't seen often, but didn't want to do stucco. I can provide some photos of
examples.)
> What is the horizontal element above the garage door? (Raduenz: Sliding barn door.)
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.

Subject: 1556 Cypress Ave. Date Sent: 10/11/2019
Number of Pages: 1
Response to Design Review Comments:
Front Elevation:
1. Confirmed and re-designed the wall area to accept the bump out as shown on the elevations.
2. Added the chimney to the front elevations
Right Side Elevation:
l. Redesigned the sloped stucco areas on the design, see attached updated design concepts, think this
works better as a whole design.
Wavy Siding:
l. We decided to go to stucco to play it save.... 1 have included a wood siding photo and its context is
in a more English/European home, we will make a decision in the field and if we change back to
original we will ask the commission for its blessing, we are now afraid of using it.
Brick Chimney:
l. We added the note about the chimney being extended and designed to be in right portion, as currently
it's not designed correctly.
Detached Garage:
1. Added notes to garage door system, also we finished the building approval on this project, the owners
started this with another designer and i finished the process in building.
To that end, we believe we have an approvable project and hope to move forward with the building phase of this
project.
Best,
