Address: 1128-1132 Douglas Avenue
Item No. 9c
Design Review Study
Meeting Date: March 23, 2015
Request: Application for Design Review, Conditional Use Permit for building height, Front Setback Variance,
Parking Variance for driveway width and Lot Merger for construction of a new five-story, 29-unit
apartment building with at-grade and below-grade parking.
Applicant and Architect: Dreiling Terrones Architecture Inc. APN: 029-132-180 and -190
Property Owner: Zers Development Inc. Lot Area: 15,492 SF (combined lots)
General Plan: High Density Residential Zoning: R-4
Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan (R-4 Base District)
Adjacent Development: Multifamily and Single Family Residential
Current Use: 1128 Douglas Ave: Single family dwelling and 4-unit apartment building
1132 Douglas Ave: Single family dwelling
Proposed Use: 29-unit residential apartment building.
Allowable Use: Multifamily, duplex, and single family residential uses.
Environmental Review: Environmental review is required for this project because the project exceeds four
residential units (29 units proposed), and therefore does not qualify for an exemption from CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act). A separate environmental scoping meeting will be held once an environmental
consultant is chosen.
The purpose of this design review study meeting is to provide initial comments on design elements as they
relate to the proposed project at 1128-1132 Douglas Avenue (criteria include compatibility with the existing
character of the neighborhood, respect the mass and fine scale of adjacent buildings even when using differing
architectural styles, maintain the tradition of architectural diversity, but with human scale regardless of the
architectural style used and incorporate quality materials and thoughtful design which will last into the future).
Project Summary: The applicant is proposing construction of a new, five-story, 29-unit residential apartment
building with at-grade and below-grade parking at 1128-1132 Douglas Avenue, zoned R-4. The proposed
building would contain 29 apartment units in five floors with 12 at-grade parking spaces at the rear of the lot
and 22 parking spaces in an underground garage. The project includes three studio units, 18 one-bedroom
units, seven two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit. The average unit size proposed is 900 SF (1,250
SF average maximum unit size permitted). Staff would note that apartment projects are not required to provide
common open space or private open spaces, as is required for condominium developments. However,
common spaces for residents and visitors, including an enclosed entry, lobby, community room and fitness
room are provided on the ground floor. In addition, balconies are provided for some of the units located at the
front corners of the building. The following applications are requested for this project:
■ Design Review for construction of a new five-story, 29-unit apartment building with at-grade and below-
grade parking (C.S. 25.29.045 and Chapter 5 of the Downtown Specific Plan);
• Conditional Use Permit for building height (56'-10" proposed where a Conditional Use Permit is
required if the building exceeds 35'-0" in height; 75'-0" is the maximum allowed) (C.S. 25.29.060);
■ Front Setback Variance (18'-5" proposed where 19'-11" is the minimum required based on the average
front setback of the block) (C.S. 25.29.075);
■ Parking Variance for driveway width (9'-0" width proposed for the driveway along the north property line
where 12'-0" is the minimum required) (C.S. 25.70.025 (b) (2)); and
Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Front Setback Variance,
Parking Variance and Lot Combination
1128-1132 Douglas Avenue
■ Lot Combination to combine 52 feet of portion of Lot 3 Block 5(1128 Douglas Avenue) and 50 feet of
Lot 3 Block 5(1132 Douglas Avenue), Burlingame Land Company Map No 2.
The property at 1128 Douglas Avenue currently contains a two-story single family dwelling at the front of the
site and a two-story four-unit apartment building at the rear of the site. The property at 1132 Douglas Avenue
currently contains a two-story single family dwelling at the front of the site and a detached one-car garage at
the rear of the site. 1128 and 1132 Douglas Avenue are two independent lots owned by the same property
owner. The site is surrounded by single family and multifamily residential buildings.
The proposed project includes demolishing the existing house and detached garage at 1132 Douglas Avenue
and demolishing the existing four-unit apartment building at 1128 Douglas Avenue. The rear portion of the
existing single family dwelling at 1128 Douglas Avenue is also proposed to be demolished, however the front
half of the house is proposed to be relocated to 524 Oak Grove Avenue. The Planning Commission is
reviewing a concurrent application for design review for the house to be relocated to Oak Grove Avenue, which
includes a first and second story addition.
In 2008, the City of Burlingame engaged Carey & Co. to complete an inventory of historic resources for the
Downtown Specific Plan Area. The purpose of this inventory was to identify properties that would qualify as
historic resources for the City of Burlingame and appeared eligible for listing on the California Register of
Historical Resources (CRHR) or the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Carey & Co. determined that
23 structures within the Plan Area appeared to be eligible for the CRHR or the NRHP. 1128 and 1132 Douglas
Avenue are included on this list.
Historic Resource Evaluations (Evaluation) were prepared for 1128 & 1132 Douglas Avenue by Page &
Turnbull, Inc., dated May 14, 2013. The results of the evaluation concluded that 1128 Douglas Avenue is
eligible for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources under Criterion 1(Events) for its
association with early settlement patterns in the town of Burlingame. The Evaluation notes that "Because the
property was one of the first residences constructed in Burlingame and exemplifies an important pattern of
development in Burlingame, the property at 1128 Douglas Avenue appears to be individually significant for its
association with early settlement, and is therefore eligible for listing in the California Register under Criterion 1
(Events)."
1128 Douglas Avenue is also eligible for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources
under Criterion 2(Persons) due to its association with James R. and Jessie N. Murphy. The Evaluation notes
that "James R. Murphy was living in the Burlingame area by 1900 and serving as the town's station master. By
1910 he was county clerk, a position he retained through to his death in 1940. His contributions to Burlingame
government and civic life were varied and well documented. Jessie Murphy was also active in Burlingame
government and civic life, serving as park commissioner and acting as a lifelong advocate for trees, a subject
integral to Burlingame's civic identity as the "City of Trees." Both James and Jessie Murphy lived the majority
of their lives in their house in Burlingame and raised three children there. The Murphys' role in the
development of Burlingame as well as their long association with the property meet the threshold for
significance for listing in the listing in the California Register under Criterion 2(Persons). The Historic
Resource Study for 1128 Douglas Avenue is attached for review.
The results of the evaluation for 1132 Douglas Avenue
the California Register of Historical Resources under
Douglas Avenue is attached for review.
concluded that it is not eligible for individual listing on
any criteria. The Historic Resource Study for 1132
Design Review: The proposed project is subject to Chapter 5 of the Downtown Specific Plan (Design &
Character). Section 5.3 (pages 5-17 through 5-21) provides design guidelines specifically for residential areas
within the Downtown Specific Plan area. Section 5.4 (pages 5-22 through 5-27) provides more general design
�a
Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Front Setback Variance, 1128-1132 Douglas Avenue
Parking Variance and Lot Combination
guidelines that apply to all areas of the downtown, including residential areas. As this application is the fourth
residential project to be proposed since the Downtown Specific Plan was adopted in 2010 (first three projects
were 1225 and 1433 Floribunda Avenue, and 21 Park Road), the relevant pages of the plan have been
included as an attachment for convenience of commissioners.
Materials proposed for the exterior of the building include stucco, horizontal wood and concrete siding. The
balconies would consist of wood railings and wood base trim. Aluminum windows and doors would be used
throughout the building, with powder coated steel awnings above some of the windows throughout the building.
Concrete columns are proposed on the ground floor at the front and rear of the building. The front entry of the
building consists of an aluminum storefront window and door system. A decorative concrete shear wall is
proposed to the left of the front entry.
The overali height of the building, as measured to the top of the parapet, is proposed at 56'-10" above average
top of curb level where 75'-0" is the maximum allowed. An application for a Conditional Use Permit is being
requested since the building exceeds 35'-0" in height. The Zoning Code allows 5% of the roof area, for such
items as enclosed elevator shafts, stairways and other equipment, to project not more than 10'-0" above the
top of parapet. The elevator shaft and enclosed stairways to the roof level are exempt from the overall building
height since they project 8'-0" above the top of parapet and take up less than 5% of the roof area.
Off-Street Parking: Based on the number of bedrooms per unit proposed for this project, the Zoning Code
requires a total of 34 off-street parking spaces for the residents of the units (1 space for each studio and one-
bedroom unit, 1.5 spaces for each two-bedroom unit and 2 spaces for each unit containing three or more
bedrooms). The project includes 12 at-grade parking spaces at the rear of the lot and 22 below-grade parking
spaces in an underground garage, for a total of 34 off-street parking spaces. An area for on-site deliveries is
not required for apartment buildings and there is no guest parking required on-site for properties located within
the Downtown Specific Plan area.
Access to the below-grade parking spaces would be via a 14'-0" wide driveway located at the south end of the
lot. Access to the at-grade parking spaces at the rear of the lot would be via a 9'-0" wide driveway located at
the north end of the lot. There is an 8'-0" wide ingress/egress easement located along the north side property
line; an extra 1'-0" is provided for the driveway width for a total of 9'-0". However, the applicant is requesting
approval of a Parking Variance for the proposed driveway width along the north side property line (9'-0"
proposed where 12'-0" is the minimum required).
The Zoning Code requires that parking spaces be a minimum of 9'-0" wide x 20'-0" deep. 22 of the 34 parking
spaces comply with this requirement. The remaining 12 parking spaces measure 8'-6" wide x 20'-0" deep
(code currently allows 8'-6" x 18'-0" for commercial and industrial uses). However, as a policy the Downtown
Specific Plan encourages "creative approaches" to providing on-site parking. The proposed reduced parking
space width meets the intent of the Downtown Specific Plan policy, and therefore a Parking Variance for
parking space dimension is not required.
Landscaping: Proposed landscaping throughout the site is shown on the Landscape and Irrigation Plans
(sheets L1.1 and L1.2). The applicant is proposing 60.1 %(1,174 SF) landscaping within the front setback area
where 60% (1,171 SF) is the minimum required.
An arborist report, dated August 8, 2014, was prepared by Mayne Tree Expert Company, which evaluates the
existing trees on the site greater than 12 inches in diameter and provides tree protection specifications (see
attached). Several smaller trees are also proposed to be removed, however they were not evaluated since
they do not qualify as a protected size tree.
The proposed project includes removing four protected size trees, including a 20-inch diameter Chinese Tallow
tree at the front of the site, an 18.1-inch diameter Liquid Amber tree along the right side property line, a 21.2-
3
Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Front Setback Variance, 1128-1132 Douglas Avenue
Parking Variance and Lot Combination
inch diameter Cottonwood tree at the rear of the site and a 16.3-inch diameter Apple tree along the left side
property line. A tree removal permit to remove these trees was issued by the Parks Division in January 2015
contingent upon 1) the building and landscape plans being approved by the City (building permit issued for
construction) and 2) that the trees would fall within the footprint of the proposed project. Several other trees on
the project site are also proposed to be removed; however they are not of a protected size.
The existing Redwood tree (39-inch diameter) and Coast Live Oak tree (27.6-inch diameter), located at the
front left corner of the lot, will remain and will need to be protected during construction as outlined in Mayne
Tree Company's arborist report. In addition, the City Arborist notes in his memo dated December 4, 2014 that
the Tree Protection Zone must be in place and confirmed by the City Arborist prior to construction and that the
excavation around these trees may only be done by hand and instructed by an independent arborist report.
There are four street trees in front of the subject property, including three small Purple Leaf Plums and an 18-
inch diameter Sycamore Maple tree. The three Purple Leaf Plum trees will need to be removed during
construction, but will be replaced with three new street trees after construction, with a species recommended
by the City Arborist. The existing Sycamore Maple tree will remain and will be protected during construction.
In accordance with the City's requirements, each lot developed with a muitifamily residential use is required to
provide a minimum of one 24-inch box-size minimum non-fruit trees for every 2000 SF of lot coverage. Based
on the proposed project, a total of eight landscape trees are required on site. The proposed landscape plan for
the project complies with the on-site reforestation requirements. There will be a total of nine trees on site,
including an existing Redwood tree and Coast Live Oak trees at the front corner of the lot and seven new 24-
inch box size trees, including four Magnolia "Yellow Bird" trees at the rear of the site, two Japanese Maple
trees at the front, left corner of the site and a Western Redbud tree at the front of the site.
Affordable (Below-Market Rate) Units: The City's previous Inclusionary Housing Ordinance has been
replaced by a Density Bonus Ordinance consistent with State Law. The Density Bonus Ordinance is
discretionary, and projects are not obligated to provide affordable units unless they seek to utilize development
standard incentives offered by the ordinance. The applicant has chosen not to apply any of the development
standard incentives offered by the Density Bonus Ordinance and therefore is not providing any affordable units
as part of the project.

Please find below a project description for the 1128 and 1132 Douglas Ave redevelopment
project.
This submittal proposes a new 45,770sf (29) unit multi-family apartment building which wiil be
built on 1128 and 1132 Douglas Ave. The proposed plan provides a mix of studio, one-bedroom,
two-bedroom, and three-bedroom dwelling units and provides 34 full-size parking spaces (meets
parking requirements). (12) parking spaces on the 1 S` floor are accessed by a shared driveway
through an existing easement with 1124 Douglas, and (22) spaces in the garage level are
accessed by a new driveway. The proposed plan includes protecting and preserving the large
redwood and large oak tree in the north-east corner of 1128 Douglas, planting (10) new trees,
protecting and preserving (1) street tree, and replacing (3) existing street trees. The remainder of
the site will be landscaped with drought tolerant landscaping, which will include site grading and
drainage improvements.
1128 Douglas Ave. currently has a two-story, single-family residence that has been deemed to
have historic significance which will be relocated to 524 Oak Grove Ave. and renovated as part of
this project. On the back portion of the lot is a two-story, 4-unit multi-famiily apartment building
that will be demolished as part of this proposal. The front yard is landscaped with brick paths and
other various landscaping which will be removed and a large redwood and large oak in the front
yard that will be protected and preserved.
1132 Douglas Ave. currently has a two-story, single-family residence that will be demolished as
part of this project. In the back portion of the site is a one-story garage as well as a small storage
shed that will be demolished. The landscaping includes a wood deck and various pathways as
well as various smaller trees that will be removed.
Thank you for reviewing this submittal and please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

��,. . ; ':��`i,
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance (Code
Section 25.52.020). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in
making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request. Please type or write neatl,y
in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
1. Exp[r�in why tlie propnserl use at tl�e proposerl location will not be detrimerttal or in juriotts to
property or improvenrents in ilie vicinity or to public /realtli, safety, general H�elfare or
co�tve�iieytce.
The conditional use applicatian is for height only. The proposed
use is in accordance with the current zoning. Curreritly the
existing properties are multi-family, the new proposal is
con.sistent with a majority of the adjacent parcels and the
neighborhood as a whole. The project will be built in �ccordance
�iith all applicable standards and thus will not be detrimental to
public Yiealth, safety, general welfare or convenience of the
vicinity.
2. How will tlie proposed aise be located and conductecl in accordance with the Bc�r/ingame
General Plan a`t�l Zo�ting Or�linance?
As, previously stated the application for a Conditianal Us� is
for heighL �nly. Per the Zoning Ordinance 25.29.060, when the
height exceeds 35 feet, a CUP is required. The height is to be
a maximum of 60 feet, well below the conditionally allowable 75
feet. The proposed use and density is per the current General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
3. How will tlte proposetl project he con:patible wit/i tlae aesthetics, mass, bcrlk and c/tr�ructer of
tlie �,ristirig and pote�ttinl uses on adjo[ning properties in tlae general vicinity?
The proposed project will be composed of human scale elements, that
front on the street and will be built with quality materials. The
contemporary aesthetic will complement the area, similar to the
adjacent residence at 1134 Douglas. The proposed structure will be
larger, but allows for increased density in the neighborhood to
continue to support the Downtown Area. The project will support the
multi-family character of the neighborhood.

(Front Setback)
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning
Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request.
Please type or write neatly in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
a. Describe fhe exceptional or exfraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
your property which do not apply to other properties in this area.
We are proposing a minimum setback of 18.4 feet, less than the block average of
19.9. We are proposing having only 7 sf of footprint beyond the block average
of 19.9. We are proposing this to accommodate 2 existing protected size/historic
trees. These trees are likely associated with Jesse N. Murphy, a person of
significance in the development of Burlingame.
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantia! property right and what unreasonable property /oss or unnecessary
hardship mighf result from the denial of the application.
The proposed variance allows for articulation of the facade, allows the
building to be stepped at the existing protected trees, and allows for
increased density in the neighborhood to continue to support the Downtown Area.
c. Explain why the proposed use af the proposed location will not be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety,
general welfare or convenience.
The proposed use is in conformance with the existing zoning, and will allow for
increased density in the neighborhood to continue to support the Downtown Area.
Further, it will allow for the existing protected trees to remain. The proposed
setback is less than 18" beyond the average and less than a majority of the other
multi-family buildings on the block and in the neighborhood. Our proposal has less
than 7 sf of footprint beyond the setback.
d. How will the proposed project be compatible wifh the aesfhetics, mass, bulk and
character of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity?
The proposed project will be composed of human scale elements, that front on the
street and will be built with quality materials. The contemporary aesthetic
will complement the area, similar to the adjacent residence at 1134 Douglas.
The proposed structure will be larger, but allows for increased density in the
neighborhood to continue to support the Downtown Area. The project will support
and mimic the existing multi-family character of the neighborhood.

The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning
Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request.

Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
your property which do not apply to other properties in this area.
We are proposing a 9 foot wide driveway on the East side of the property only
where 2 existing protected size/historic trees are. These trees are likely
associated with Jesse N. Murphy, a person of significance in the development of
Burlingame. As part of the project, we are proposing to keep the 2 trees,
limiting the width of the driveway at this location. Relocation is not feasible
due to this drive providing access to both this site and the adjacent property.
Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservafion and enjoymenf of a
substantia/ property right and what unreasonable property /oss or unnecessary
hardship might result from the denial of the application.
By not allowing the proposed variance, the project will either need to propose
removal of the existing protected trees, or significantly reduce the size of the
project. The existing driveway will be required to remain, as it serves 2
properties with reciprocal easements. This project allows for increased density
in the neighborhood to continue to support the Downtown Area. The project will
support the multi-family character of the neighborhood.
c. Explain why the proposed use at fhe proposed locafion will not be detrimenfal or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public healfh, safety,
general welfare or convenience.
Keeping the driveway at the existing width will not be detrimental as it will preserve
the existing mature trees and the widening at the other areas will improve the
circulation of the site. This is a private driveway that already exists, and needs to
remain due to it serving the adjacent property, and thus will not impact the public
health, safety, general welfare or convenience.
d. How will fhe proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bu/k and
characfer of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity ?
The proposed project will be composed of human scale elements, that front on the

Residential buildings in Downtown Burlingame offer l�ighex densit��
development than elsewhere in the Cin�, providing a lifesty�le for d�ose who �vant
to liee witliin �valking distance of tl�e Do�vnto���n commercial areas and transit
opportunities. �1e�v buildiiigs �vill mediate this densiry �vith thoughtful design

should contribute to an appealing neighborhood character and should employ
recognizable residential design details such as eisible residential entries, porches,
ba}• �vinclo�vs and roof oeerhangs, and balconies and small outdoor areas.
I3elow are recommenda[ions for the architectural treatment and organization
of buildings and open space, and the suggested criteria for re�-ie�ving projects
during the design revie�v process.
5.3.1 ARCHITECTURAL DNERSITY
Residential projects should respect the diversiry of building t�•pes and
st��les in the residential areas Do�vnto�an and seek to support it b}�
1ppl��ing the iollo�ving principles:
• Desi�� bnildings to maintain general compatibilin� with the
neigliborhood.
• Respect the mass and fine scale of adjacent buildings even �vhen
using differing axchitectural sn�les.
• Alaintains the tradition of architectural diversity, but with human
scale regardless of the architectural style used.
• Create buildui�s wich qualin� materials and thoughtful desi�n to

5.3.2.2 Ground Level Treatment
Residential developinent may ha��e a finished floor elevation up to 5
feet above sidewalk level to provide more interior privac}� for residents.
I:ntry porches or stoops along the street are encouraged to Uridge this
change in elevation and connect these units to the sidewalk to miiumize
an�� physical separation from the street level. The stxeet-level frontage
should be visually interestuig with frequent unit entrances and clear
orientation to the street.
5.3.2.3 Site Access
Curb cuts should be nuniinized to promote traffic 1nd pedestrian safetv
and create cohesive landscaping and building fa�ades. r1 maximum of
nvo curb cuts should be provided for projects requiring 30 parking
spaces or more; for projects �vith less than 30 spaces, onlv one curb cut
should be provided. One-way drieeways should have curb cuts with a
fully depressed width no greater than 12 feet; two-way curb cuts should
Ue no greater than 22 feet. On-site bicj�cle parking for residents is
encouraged.
5.3.3 ARCHITECTURAL COMPATIBILITY
5.3.3.1 Development Massing
The residential areas �vithin Downto�vn Iiurlingame haee a range
oE building heights, and so particular attention must be paid to
the massing of new btuldings to ensure an appropriate transition
with surrounding development. Massing and street facades shall
be designed to create a residential scale in keepuig �vith Burlingame
neighborhoods.

richness, detail, and depth of the fa�ade is encouraged. `�'indo�vs �vith
mullions should have individual windo�v lights, rather than applied
"snap-in° mullions that lack depth and are not integral to the windo�v
structuxe. Reflective glass is undesirable because of its tendency to
create uncoinfortable glare conditions and a visual barrier. ��G'here
residential uses are adjacent to each other, windo��s should be placed
with regard to any open spaces or �vindo�vs on neighboring buildings
so as to protect the privacy of residents.
5.3.4.3 Materials
Building materials should be richl�� detailed to provide eisual interest.
The use of materials that are reHected in the historic architecture
present in the neighboxhood is encouraged. Metal siding and large
expanses of stucco or �vood siding are also to be a�roided. Roofing
materials and accenting features such as canopies, cornices, tile accents,
etc. should also offer color variation. Residential Uuilduig inaterials
should include quality details such as wrought iron, wood-Eramed
windows, wood brackets and tile rooEs.

to provide recreationnl space or 11rge landscaped areas, since this is
a tnore urban en��ironment �Io�vever, oPen space is an important
element for residential builduigs and should be used to effectiael�-

5.4.3 SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN BUILDING DESIGN
Project design and materials to achieve sustainability and green buildin�
design should be incorporated into projects. Green building desi�n
considers the environinent during desi�i and construction and aims
for comPatibilit�• �vith the local envuonment: to protect, res�ect and
beneht fi�om it. In general, sustainable buildings are energj� efficient,
water conseiving, durable and nontosic, with high-quality spaces and
high rec}-cled content materials. The follo�ving considerations should be
included ui site and building design:
• Resilient, durable, sustainable materials and finishes.
• I�lesibilit�� over tune, to allo�v for re-use and adaptation.
• Optimize building orientation for heat gain, sliading, daylighung,
111C� riflTL1T11 �'CriC111T1011.
• Desimi landscapuig to create comfortable inicro-climates and
reduce heat island effects.
• Desi�i for eas�� pedestrian, Uicvcle, and transit access, and provide
on-site bic��cle parking.
• �Iasimize on-site storm�vater management through landscapuig
and permeable pavement.
• On flat roofs, utilize cool/�vhite roofs to ininiini-r.e heat gain.
• D�sign liglitiug, plumbing, and equipment for efhcient energ�� use.
• Create healtl��� indoor em�ironments.
• Pursue adaptive re-use oE an esisting Uuilding or portion of a
building as an alternatiae to demolition and rebuilding.
• L'se creati�-itt• and inno��ation to build more sustainable
environments. One esample is establishing gardens with edible
fruits, �-egetables or other plants as part of project open space, or
providing garden plots to residents for urUan agriculture.
To reduce carbon footpruit, ne�v projects are encouraged to follo�v

along El Cainino Real and I?aston Drive to the current day, Burlingaine
has enjoj�ed the many benefits trees pro��ide to an urban area.
Burlingame's longtune commitment to trees is evideiiced b� recogni-
tion as a"Tree City USr1" for 30 consecutive ��ears. This is the longest
streak in the County, 5th longest in the State and one of die longest in
the Countr�� for receiving tlus award.
In Do�vnto�vn Burlingaine, trees include street trees lining side�valks
and road�vays (typicall}• within the public right-of-�vay), as w•ell as trees
on private propert}� in settings such as landscaped setback areas, court-
yards, and roof gardens.

Chapter 4: Streetscapes c4� Open Space) provides guidance Eor street
trees within the public right-of-wa}•. Landscape trees on private prop-
erty have equal importance as part of the "urban forest," in contrib-
uting environmental and aesthetic benefits to do�vntown. Trees are
important for their beauty, shade and coohless, economic benefits, and
role in reducing energy use, pollution, and noise.
The City� of Burlingame has an Urban Forest Management Plan that
inchides policies and management practices for both city and private
trees. Maintaining existing trees is a priority�, and large trees on prieate
property axe protected by City� Ordinance. Any tree with a circumfer-
ence of �}8 inches or more when inelsured 5-� uiches above die ground
is a"Protected Tree." A permit is required to remove or heavily prune
a protected tree.
Consistent with Burlingame's status as "Tree City USA," new projects
are required to incorporate trees into landscape and private open space
plans. Property o�vners should consult the Burlingame Urban I�orest
Management Plan for design considerations, plantuig techniques, and
maintenance guidance.

Window Wall
series b00
Western's 600 Series Window Wall accomplishes exactly what its name implies: it replaces exterior walls with large expanses of glass. Our
window wall system was designed to be able to integrate all of our products (hinged windows, operable sliders, hinged doors, siiding doors,
etc.) into one continuous wall of glass. Typically architects and homeowners love the aesthetic of commercial storefror,t window systems, but
they are disappointed with weather performance, finish details and security of a field fabricated product. Western's 600 Series Window Walis
are built and glazed to meticulous standards in a factory condition that allow them to perfectly capture the custom view of even the most
detailed observer.

For harsher environments we offer "Thermal Break" on both our frame and panels. Thermal break lowers u-factors, limits cor�densation,
increases energy performance, and most of all reduces thermal conductivity. High humidity and exVeme hot or cold temperatures are not an
issue when choosing a Western Multiple Slidiny Bi-Fold Door or Window.
Aluminum Frame Finishes
highest quality painted ancl anodized options
If you have a color you'd likz to use for your window and door products, we can provide it. Whether anodized or painted, we can yenerally
match any celor you are after. On top of unlimited color opticns, V�Jestern uses the highe�t quality finishes available tnday. For painted
products, nearly all of Western's colors are Kynar finishes which conform to a minimum rating of AAMA-2605 (which is the highest ratiny
available for organic finishes today). For anodized product, our Dark Bronze and Satin anodized finishes receive a Class 1 rating which is the
highest and most durable rating available for anodized aluminum finishes. Dark Bronze anodized is our most popular finish and has the best
price point and production lead time. The other colors shown below are examples of Western "designer" colors which are available for a
discounted price over a custom color match. These colors are for representation only. Please contact your nearest dealer or dealer
representative for a full color sample listof our aluminum frame finishes and designer colors.
Western also offers our "Edge Guard" painted finish for customers that are within a few miles of the ocean. This upgrade option is a true
investment in protecting your products from potential corrosion caused by salt water. This custom finishing procedure involves Western
fabricating and processing all of the components associated with your window and door package before sending the metal to be painted. By
painting pre-fabricated paRs (instead of cutting and processing parts after they have been painted), the "Edge Guard" process ensures that
there are no raw aluminum edges left unfinished, and insiead sees all aluminum edges painted with the same high-quality Kynar finish that
was used on the rest ofthe project. An upgrade to "Edge Guard" provides the additional benefit to customers of a ten-yearwarranry.

Dear Mr. Wayne Lin,
RE: 1128 & 1132 DOUG�ASAvENUE, BURLINGAME
At your request, I visited the above site on Friday, July 25, 2014. The purpose of my visit
was to identify, inspect, and comment on the trees located on the site. Included in this
report is a plan review and tree protection plan for the proposed construction project.
This report covers two properties that will be joined to form one.
Limitations of this report
This report is based on a visual-only inspection that took place at ground level. I accept
no responsibility for any unknown or any unseen defects associated with the trees on
this site.
Method
Each tree on this report was given an identification number that is scribed onto a metal
foil tag and placed at eye level on the trunk of the tree. This number has also been
placed on the provided site map to show the approximate locations of the trees on the
property. The diameter for each tree was found by measuring the trunk of the tree at
fifty-four inches off of the natural grade as described in the Burlingame Heritage Tree
Ordinance. The height and canopy spread has been estimated for each tree to show
their approximate dimensions. Each tree was given a condition rating; this rating is
based on form and vitality and can be further defined by the following table:
0 — 29 Very Poor
30 — 49 Poor
50 — 69 Fair
70 — 89 Good
90 — 100 Excellent
Lastly, a comments section has been provided to give more individual detail about the
trees.

Tree #1 is a large Redwood tree located on the right side of 1128 Douglas Avenue. Soil,
ivy, and other organic material cover the root crown of this tree. It has good form and
the upper canopy of this tree appears to be healthy and vigorous.
Tree #2 is a Coast Live Oak located near tree #1. Ivy, soil, and other organic material
cover the root crown of this tree. There is a codominant attachment at 10 feet and most
of the upper canopy leans southeast towards the street. There is excess end weight on
most of the lateral limbs.
Tree #3 is a Chinese Tallow Tree located at the front left corner of 1128 Douglas Avenue.
The lower trunk of this tree is growing through a hedge. Ivy, soil, and other organic
material are covering the tree's root crown. The upper canopy appears to be healthy
and vigorous.
Tree #4 is a Coast Live Oak located along the right side 1128 Douglas Avenue on the
neighboring property, within 10 feet of the property line. The roots from this tree appear
to be lifting and cracking the nearby driveway. The upper canopy appears to be healthy
and vigorous.
Tree #5 is a Liquid Amber tree located at the back right corner of the home on 1128
Douglas Avenue. This tree has an abundance of girdling roots, some of which are lifting
and cracking the driveway. This tree has a three-stem attachment at 7 feet and the
upper canopy has several codominant attachments.
1128 Douglas Ave., Burlingame
August 8, 2014
Tree #6 is a Sycamore Maple located along the street in front of 1132 Douglas Avenue.
This tree is considered a street tree. The upper canopy is routinely pruned away from
the high voltage lines by PG&E and the tree leans slightly to the east.
Tree #7 is a Hawthorne tree located along the left side of 1132 Douglas Avenue. This
tree has two-stems at 3 feet with several smaller stems in same area. Soil and other
organic material cover the root crown of this tree. The upper canopy appears to be
healthy and vigorous.
Tree #8 is a Coast Live Oak located along the left property line of 1132 Douglas Avenue.
This tree is growing within the fence line, straddling the property border. I found
sycamore borer on the trunk, excess end weight on the lateral limbs, and the upper
canopy appears to be healthy and vigorous.
Tree #9 is an Apple tree located at the back left corner of the home on 1132 Douglas
Avenue. Soil and other organic material cover the root crown of this tree. There is a
codominant attachment at 3 feet and both stems are hollow. The upper canopy has a
stag-headed growth pattern and appears to be healthy and vigorous.
Tree #10 is an Italian Stone Pine located in the rear yard by the driveway of 1132
Douglas Avenue. The upper canopy has a codominant attachment at 7 feet and ivy
covering most of the east side. This tree leans to the southwest slightly.
Tree #11 is a Plum tree located in the rear of the home along the left side of 1132
Douglas Avenue. There are multiple attachments at 4 feet (some with included bark),
excess end weight throughout the canopy, and a slight lean north.
Tree #12 is a Cottonwood located along the rear of the property at 1132 Douglas
Avenue. I found a codominant attachment at 3 feet with included bark between the
stems. I believe this tree may have been previously cut at 5 feet as there is an
abundance of stems in this area. Soil and other organic material cover the root crown of
this tree.
Tree #13 is a Coast Live Oak located at the rear of the property at 1128 Douglas
Avenue. This tree is located behind an apartment building where I could find no access.
I identified the tree and looked at the top 15 to 20 feet over the roof of the building. Due
to lack of access, I was not able to examine the lower 20 feet of the trunk.
During my inspection of both properties, I found several smaller trees around the
property that are less than 12 inches in diameter and will be shown on the report with a
green dot.
Plan Review and Tree Protection Guidelines
On July 28, 2014, I reviewed the proposed construction plans for the above site. During
my review, I determined that the buildings on the existing property will be demolished
and a new apartment building will be constructed. During this process, trees #1, #2, #4,
#6, and #13 would remain; all other trees will need to be removed to allow the building to
be constructed.
1128 Douglas Ave., Burlingame
August 8, 2014
Routine maintenance is recommended for trees #2 and #13. This maintenance should
include deadwood removal, end weight reduction, and raising the canopies. All tree
work performed shou�d be accomplished by a qualified licensed tree care professional.
During the removal of the existing trees and buildings, care should be taken not to
damage any roots of the trees that are to remain.
TREE PROTECTION SPECIFICATIONS
1. A 6-inch layer of coarse mulch or woodchips is to be placed beneath the dripline
of the protected trees. Mulch is to be kept 12 inches from the trunk.
2. A protective barrier of 6-foot chain link fencing shall be installed around the
dripline of protected tree(s). The fencing can be moved within the dripline if
authorized by the Project Arborist or the City Arborist, but not closer than 2 feet
from the trunk of any tree. Fence posts shall be 1.5 inches in diameter and are
to be driven 2 feet into the ground. The distance between posts shall not be
more than 10 feet. This enclosed area is the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ). I have
drawn in on the provided site plan the approximate location of the tree protection
fencing.
3. Movable barriers of chain link fencing secured to cement blocks can be
substituted for "fixed" fencing if the Project Arborist and City Arborist agree that
the fencing will have to be moved to accommodate certain phases of
construction. The builder may not move the fence without authorization from the
Project Arborist or City Arbarist.
4. Avoid the following conditions.
DO NOT:
a. Allow runoff or spillage of damaging materials into the area below any
tree canopy.
b. Store materials, stockpile soil, or park or drive vehicles within the TPZ.
c. Cut, break, skin, or bruise roots, branches, or trunks without first obtaining
authorization from the City Arborist.
d. Allow fires under and adjacent to trees.
e. Discharge exhaust into foliage.
f. Secure cable, chain, or rope to trees or shrubs.
g. Trench, dig, or otherwise excavate within the dripline or TPZ of the tree(s)
without first obtaining authorization from the City Arborist.
h. Apply soil sterilants under pavement near existing trees.
5. Only excavation by hand or compressed air shall be allowed within the driplines
of trees. Machine trenching shall not be allowed.
1128 Douglas Ave., Burlingame
August 8, 2014
6. Avoid injury to tree roots. When a ditching machine, which is being used outside
of the dripline of trees, encounters roots smaller than 2 inches, the wall of the
trench adjacent to the trees shall be hand trimmed, making clear, clean cuts
through the roots. All damaged, torn, and cut roots shall be given a clean cut to
remove ragged edges, which promote decay. Trenches shall be filled within 24
hours, but, where this is not possible, the side of the trench adjacent to the trees
shall be kept shaded with four layers of dampened, untreated burlap, wetted as
frequently as necessary to keep the burlap wet. Roots 2 inches or larger, when
encountered, shall be reported immediately to the Project Arborist, who will
decide whether the Contractor may cut the root as mentioned above or shall
excavate by hand or with compressed air under the root. The root is to be
protected with dampened burlap.
7. Route pipes outside of the area that is 10 times the diameter of a protected tree
to avoid conflict with roots.
8. Where it is not possible to reroute pipes or trenches, the contractor shall bore
beneath the dripline of the tree. The boring shall take place not less than 3 feet
below the surface of the soil in order to avoid encountering "feeder" roots.
9. Any damage due to construction activities shall be reported to the Project
Arborist or City Arborist within six hours so that remedial action can be taken.
10. Violation of any of the above provisions may result in sanctions or other
disciplinary action.
I believe this report is accurate and based on sound arboricultural principles and
practices. If may be of further assistance, please contact me at my office.
Sincerely,

Dear Ruben,
It has come to our attention that Primary Records are being prepared for two older
properties located at 1128 and 1132 Douglas Avenue, in Burlingame. Assuming said
Records are related to plans for a future development on one or both adjacent parcels, we
want to make sure information is available to the developer, and to the City of
Burlingame Planning Dept. about one or more trees situated on the lots.
Several years ago, Bob Murphy, grandson of 13urlingame Pioneer James Murphy (1128
Douglas) donated numerous photos and information about his family to our Archives. He
also informed us that several redwoods planted on Douglas Avenue and the vicinity, as
well as many other redwoods in Burlingame, had been planted as saplings by his
grandmother, early Burlingame pioneer Jessie Murphy. Jessie's father, Benjamin
Nichols, was a lumber baron in Aptos in the 1860s. Daughter Jessie had a special affinity
towards trees, in particular redwoods. She spent much of her life advocating the planting
of trces, apparently in an attempt to make up for the loss of trees related to her father's
lumber mill profession. We were told that Jessie regularly collectcd redwood saplings
from the coast, and brought them back to Burlingame, planting them in many locations.
Please be aware that at least one of Jessie's redwoods, seen clearly in an archival photo
(1916) still exists on the far right of said parcel. We hope that every effort will be made
to retain Jessie Murphy's tree(s) in order to honor her significant contribution to
Burlingame, known as the City of Trees.
Sincerely yours,
Jennifer Pfaff

2. he accessible parking shown in the basement must comply with the accessibility
uirements of the 2013 CBC. Specifically:
j. All entrances to and vertical clearances within the parking structure must
have a minimum vertical clearance of 8' 2" where required for accessibility
to accessible parking spaces.
k. At least one of these spaces must be comply with the accessible parking
requirements including loading / unloading access aisle and signage. See
2013 CBC §1109A.5 — Unassigned and Visitor Parking Spaces.
An accessib/e parking space is required for the at-grade parking and one is
required in the covered parking garage according to 2013 CBC §9909A.3 which
sfates "At Ieast one space of each type of parking facilify shall be accessible
even if ihe total exceeds 2%."
Since accessible parking in the garage is required p/ease revise the plans to
show compliance with comment 42, above. P/ease consider the installation of
plumbing lines, fire sprinklers, efc. when calculating the c/earance because the
minimum height is measured to the lowest point in the garage.
NOTE: A written response to the items noted here and plans that specifically address
items 22 and 44 must be re-submitted before this project can move forward for Planning
Commission action. The written response must include clear direction reqardin where
the requested information can be found on the plans.

DIREGTOR
These draft guidelines have been developed in conjunction with the Division of the State
Architect (DSA) to assist the Governor's Office of Planning and Research with physical
accessibility standards and design guidelines for the installation of plug-in electric
vehicle charging stations throughout California. This initiative supports the Governor's
Zero Emission Vehicle Executive Order, B-16-2012, which establishes a target of 1.5
million ZEVs in California by 2025.
These guidelines are intended to supersede and expand upon the current DSA "Interim
Disabled Access Guidelines for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations 97-03", dated 5 June
1997. While 97-03 is a policy statement and only applicable to facilities under DSA's
regulatory jurisdiction, it is possible that these voluntary 2013 guidelines will eventually
become regulations within California Building Code Chapter 198 Accessibility to Public
Buildings, Public Accommodations, Commercial 8uildings and Public Housing.
For clarity and usability, the guidelines and any subsequent regulations should reflect
the format and organization of the California Building Code. The 2013 Chapter 11 B
accessibility provisions use the Americans with Disabilities Act Guidelines as their
model code with amendments to implement more stringent California specific
requirements. These draft guidelines use the same format and are organized with
separate scoping and technical provisions. The designation EVG (for Electric Vehicle
Guidelines) is used as a prefix for the guideline provisions and the prefix 11 B is used
before sections from the 2013 California Building Code's accessibility provisions. These
Guidelines are focused on physical accessibility standards and information about
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for Self-Contained Closed System Products will be
provided in future guidance. .
The guidelines address accessible plug-in electric vehicle charging stations on both
public and private sites and within public rights of way. Making charging stations within
public rights-of-way fully accessible can be ehallenging, as illustrated by the examples
in the Plug-in Electric Vehicle Collaborative's "Accessibility and Signage for Plug-in
Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Report and Recommendations" of May 2012.
Similar provisions from the proposed federal Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian
Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way related to parking have been adapted as the basis
for on-street installations. Signage and identification of the accessible electric vehicle
charging stations is raised but not yet fully resolved in this public draft.

Guidelines for the Provision of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
The following scoping sections of these guidelines are designed to present best
practices for electric vehicle charging station accessibility and eventually may become
part of the California Building Code's Chapter 11 B Division 2: Scoping Requirements.
ADVISORY: EVG-250 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. A reasonable portion of
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations are required to be accessible. If provided by a
state or local government on public property or on-street within the public right of
way, vehicle charging is considered a program or service that must be accessible to
and useable by individuals with disabilities. Accessibility covers not just the physical
dimensions of the charging station, and operable parts of the device, but also the
functionality of the `self-contained, closed product' charging system. If provided at
privately owned or operated public accommodations they must also be accessible as
a service provided to the general public.
EVG-250 Electric Vehicle Charqinq Stations
ADVISORY: EVG-250.1 General. �� �ile there is no positive requirement to provide
electric vehicle charging stations, when they are provided a portion of them should
be accessible. When co-located with parking spaces, electric vehicle charging is
considered the primary function of these stations, not parking. Accessible electric
vehicle charging stations are not to be reserved exclusively for the use of persons
with disabilities. They should not be identified with signage that would mistakenly
indicate their use is only for vehicles with placards or license plates for individuals
with disabilities.
EVG-250.1 General
Where provided, electric vehicle charging stations shall comply with EVG-250.
EXCEPTION: Restricted Electric Vehicle Charging Stations not available to the
general public and intended for use by a designated vehicle or driver, such as public
or private fleet vehicles, vehicles assigned to an employee or by an electric vehicle
owner at home may but shall not be required to comply with EVG-250 and EVG-812.
ADVISORY: EVG-250.1 General. Existing conditions, terrain, electric infrastructure
and other factors dictate that not every electric vehicle charging station can be fully
accessible. With electric vehicle charging stations being functionally similar to an:,'
usually integrated with parking, the ratios of accessible to standard electric vehicle
charging stations in these guidelines are the same as those for accessible to
standard parking in the 2010 ADA standards and the 2013 California Building Code.
The numbers of required accessible electric vehicle charging stations for both on-
site and public rights-of-way locations are shown in Tables EVG-250.2 On-site
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and EVG-250.3 On-street Electric Vehicle
Charging Stations.

EVG-250.2 Minimum Number for On-site Locations
On publically owned or privately owned sites electric vehicle charging stations
complying with EVG-812 shall be provided in accordance with Table EVG-250.2.

EVG-250.2.1 Minimum Number for Residential Facilities
Electric vehicle charging stations to serve residential facilities and sites snall comply
with EVG-250.2.1.
EVG-250.2.1.1 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Residents
Where at least one parking space is provided for each residential dwelling unit
and electric vehicle charging services are provided in conjunction with that
parking, five percent, but no less than one, of the electric vehicle charging
stations provided shall comply with EVG-812.
EVG-250.2.1.2 Additional Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Residents
Where additional parking spaces beyond one for each residential dwelling unit is
provided and electric vehicle charging services are provided in conjunction with
that parking, finro percent of the additional parking spaces, but no fewer than one,
of the additional electric vehicle charging stations provided shall comply with
EVG-812.
EVG-250.2.1.3 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Guests, Employees
and Other Non-Residents
Where parking spaces are provided for persons other than residents and electric
vehicle charging services are provided in conjunction with that parking, electric
vehicle charging stations for guests, employees and other non-residents shall be
provided in accordance with Table EVG-250.2 and shall comply with EVG-812.
EVG-250.3 Minimum Number for On-Street Locations
Within the public right-of-way of a state or local governmentjurisdiction on-street electric

EVG-250.4 Electric Vehicle Charqinq Stations for Vans. Reserved.
ADVISORY: EVG-250.4 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Vans. The
guidelines do not include provisions for van accessible electric vehicle charging
stations. As of the date of these guidelines there�.-�z no plug-in electric vans
being manufactured and providers of electric plug-in vehicle conversions indicate
that van style vehicles are not currently available due to technical and cost
factors. When future developments make electric plug-in vans feasible,
provisions for van accessible electric vehicle charging stations can be included in
the guidelines.
EVG-250.5 Locations
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations shall be located in compliance with EVG-250.5.
ADVISORY: EVG-250.5 Location. For new construction, accessible electric
vehicle charging stations should be close to a major facility, public way or
accessible route on the site, with 200 feet recommended as a maximum
distance. However, electric vehicle charging stations need not be provided
immediately adjacent to the facility since charging services, not parking, is their
primary purpose. For instatlations at existing sites and locations, the accessible
electric vehicle charging stations may not be located in close proximity to other
services due to technical factors such as the availability of electric power or
terrain, but they should be on an accessible route to the maximum extent
feasible.
EVG-250.5.1 On-Site Locations
Electric vehicle charging stations on public and private sites shall be dispersed within
each separate type of parking facility providing electric vehicle charging to the maximum
extent feasible.
EVG-250.5.1.1 Proximity to Buildings, Facilities or Sites Served
Electric vehicle charging stations complying with EVG-812 that serve a particular
building, facility or site shall be located in close proximity to the facility, public
way or major circulation path on the site.

(916) 322-2318 FAX (916) 322-3785 www.opr.ca.gov Page 5
EVG-250.5.1.2 Proximity to Accessible Routes
Electric vehicle charging stations complying with EVG-812 that serve a particular
building, facility or site shall be on an accessible route to an entrance complying
with 11 B-206.4 of the current edition of the California Building Code. Electric
vehicle charging stations that do not serve a particular building or facility shall be
on an accessible route to an accessible pedestrian entrance to the functional
area within which they are located.
ADVISORY: EVG-250.5.2 On-Street Locations. Provision of fully accessible on-
street electric vehicle charging stations within the public right of way can be very
difficult due to constraints posed by terrain, available right of way and other
factors. The technical requirements for accessible parking, when applied electric
vehicle charging stations, can be in direct conflict with roadway and sidewalk
grades, right-of—way widths, and functional requirements for curbs, gutters and
other right of way improvements. While many of these issues can be addressed
during new construction or re-construction of the public improvements, solutions
providing full accessibility may not be possible. EVG-250.5.2 allows a public
entity to provide accessible electric vehicle charging on a programmatic basis.
This involves using additional on-site accessible electric vehicle charging stations
to meet the combined requirements for the number of both on-street and on-site
locations within the public entity's jurisdiction.

EVG-250.6 Electric Vehicle Charqinq Stations at Existinq Facilities
Alterations solely for the purpose of installing electric vehicle charging stations shall be
limited to the actual scope of work of the project and shall not be required to comply
with section 11 B-202.4 of the current edition of the California Building Code.
EXCEPTION: Alterations solely for the purpose of installing electric vehicle
charging stations at sites where vehicle parking or storage is the sole and
primary use of the facility shall comply with the 2013 California Building Code
section 11 B-202.4 Path of Travel Requirements in Alterations, Additions and
Structural Repairs to the maximum extent feasible. The cost of compliance with
11 B-202.4 shall be limited to twenty percent of the cost of the work directly
associated with the installation of the electric vehicle charging equipment.
ADVISORY: EVG-250.6 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Existing Facilities.
The majority of electric vehicle charging stations being installed in the
foreseeable future will occur at existing on-site or on-street parking facilities
where the source of electric power, location of accessible parking, natural terrain,
landscaping and other features are existing. Under the California Building Code
these projects would be considered al��� ations. Alteration projects generally
require accessibility improvements, if needed to comply with current
requirements, to certain "path of travel" elements serving the area of alteration.
The California Building Code provides exceptions to the "path of travel" upgrade
requirements for projects that do not affect the usability or accessibility of the
facility. It also recognizes the inherent difficulty in altering certain existing facilities
for full compliance with the accessibility requirements through provisions for
situations where strict compliance is technically infeasible.
EVCS installations at existing facilities fall into three categories:
1. Within an existing public right-of-way — With no specific "path of travel"
elements serving the area being altered there would be no accessibility
upgrades outside the area of work.
2. On building and facility sites where parking / vehicle storage is incidental
to the primary function — Under the federal 2010 ADA Standards these
projects would be alterations not affecting a primary function area and
"path of travel" upgrades would not be required. This is the approach used
-��� the prior DSA Access Policy Statement 97-03 and is most probably
based upon classification of electric vehicle charging stations as electrical
projects not involving the placement of receptacles or switches. These
proposed guidelines continue the same approach as the prior DSA policy.
3. Installations of electric vehicle charging stations at sites where vehicle
parking or storage is the sole or primary use of the facility are alterations
affecting the usability of or access to a primary function area. The 2010
ADA Standards require that, to the maximum extent feasible, the path of
travel to the altered area, including restrooms, telephones, and drinking

fountains, is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
disabilities. Additional alterations to upgrade non-compliant path of travel
elements outside of the project's area of work are required, unless those
alterations are disproportionate to the overall alterations in terms of cost
and scope, which is defined as exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the
cost of the primary alterations. When the cost of full compliance for path of
travel elements would exceed twenty percent (20%), compliance is
required to the greatest extent possible within the twenty percent (20%)
limitation. California law prohibits the State Architect's regulations and
building standards from prescribing a lesser standard of accessibility or
usability than that provided by the 2010 ADA Standards. 2013 California
Building Code section 11 B-202.4 reflects similar requirements with the
addition of signage to the designated path of travel elements. For projects
with basic costs above the CBC valuation threshold of $139,964, the cost
above which path of travel alterations would become disproportionate has
been aligned with the federal requirements of twenty percent (20°/o).
The following technical sections for the electric vehicle charging station
guidelines are designed to eventually be located within the California Building
Code's Chapter 11 B Division 8: Special Rooms, Spaces and Elements.

In choosing which accessible elements to provide, priority should be given to
those elements that will provide the greatest access in the following order:
1. An accessible entrance;
2. An accessible route to the altered area;
3. At least one accessible restroom for each sex;
4. Accessible telephones;
5. Accessible drinking fountains; and
6. When possible, additional accessible elements such as parking, storage
and alarms.
If an area has been altered without providing an accessible path of travel to that
area, and subsequent alterations of that area or a different area on the same
path of travel are undertaken within three years of the original alteration, the total
cost of alterations to the areas on that path of travel during the preceding three-
year period shall be considered in determining whether the cost of making that
path of travel accessible is disproportionate.
9. Certain types of privately funded, multistory buildings and facilities were formerly
exempt from accessibility requirements above and below the frst floor under this
code, but as of, April 1, 1994, are no longer exempt due to more restrictive
provisions in the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. In alteration projects
involving buildings and facilities previously approved and built without elevators,
areas above and below the ground floor are subject to the 20-percent
disproportionality provisions described in Exception 8, above, even if the value of
the project exceeds the valuation threshold in Exception 8. The types of buildings
and facilities are:
1. Office buildings and passenger vehicle service stations of three stories or
more and 3,000 or more square�feet (279 mz) per floor.
2. Offices of physicians and surgeons.
3. Shopping centers.
4. Other buildings and facilities three stories or more and 3,000 or more
square feet (279 m2) per floor if a reasonable portion of services sought
and used by the public is available on the accessible level.

1. The project site is over 10,000 square feet which requires that full treatment of
' stormwater. It does not appear from plans that this requirement is met with
the current proposed development. In addition, no additional storm runoff is
allowed from the post-construction site. Please provide plans showing how
� -�this will be satisfied.
�2�Proposed driveway to garage is at 12 feet which is narrow and should be
� increased to a minimum of 14 feet.
�3�.j�?arking configuration on first floor does not provide for turnaround when lot is
��ull. An area needs to be designated for turning around in case all spaces are

,��4. P,revious comment #7 requires columns to be located two feet from the back
,- of the parking space to allow for maneuvering. Columns need to be relocated
� to meet this requirement.
` 5. T�ash/recycfe area appears to be undersized. Provide documentation from

" Hydromodification is the modification of a stream's hydrograph, caused in general by increases in flows and durations that result when land
is developed (made more impervious). The effects of hydromodification include, but are not limited to, increased bed and bank erosion, loss of
habitat, increased sediment transport and deposition, and increased flooding. Hydromodification management control measures are designed
to reduce these effects.

Project Memo
Item Subject Action
C3 Special Project Worksheet LID Narrative
The proposed project at 1128 Douglas Ave. is eligible for an 80°/a LID reduction in stormwater
treatment area according to the C3 Special Project Category C calculations. The total required
stormwater treatment area calculated using the Simplified Sizing Method of 4% of the impervious
area is 512sf. With the 80% reduction, however, we are eligible to reduce this area to 102.4sf if
we take the entire eligible reduction. We are, however, only proposing to reduce our treatment
area by 67% which provides 169sf of treatment planters.
Due to constraints that would not allow us to create sufficient fall in elevation to plumb the
stormwater into the gutter from possible planter areas in the rear of the site, we are required to
place our stormwater treatment planters at the front of the site. Due to garage and access drives,
a large electrical and gas main trench at the north-east corner of the site, and impervious zoning
code landscaping requirements in the front setback, these stormwater planter areas are limited
and provide less than the total required 4% treatment area, but provide more than the eligible 80%
reduction.
We are also proposing 530sf of planters that will provide additional stormwater retention, but will
flow into the pervious self-treating areas because there isn't sufficient elevation to be plumbed all
the way to the gutter at the front of the site.
Thank you,
Daniel Dunigan

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) must be implemented to prevent prohibited
discharges to storm drains.
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.
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.

gutter and drainpipe.
Storm drain inlet is blocked to prevent
prohibited discharge. The water must be
pumped and disposed of properly.
