The applicant recently completed a four level parking structure as a part of his auto dealership. The front 29' along California Drive and top deck of the parking structure are to be used as auto display and sales areas. The zoning code gives the Planning Commission discretion to review lighting plans for car sales lots (Code Sec. 25.74.010-f>. The applicant proposes to place eight 400 watt halide light fixtures on three poles rising 18' above the top deck of the parking structure. These lights will be shielded so that the direct light is focused only on the parking deck. Along the California Drive frontage they will place five 20' poles, each with 1,000 watt metal halide fixture. These poles were existing and are now in place. The fixtures are tilted to direct the light onto the site; there is some small spillover of direct light onto the public sidewalk (see plans date stamped April 9, 1987). The applicant proposes to have the parking deck display lights on from dusk to 10:00 P.M. The lights along California Drive will also be on from dusk to 10:00 P.M. Both sets of lights will be placed on a timer. Ten percent of the ceiling lights within the parking structure will be kept on all night for security, as will the lights in the stairwells at each end of the structure. The only lights left on all night on the top deck will be the exit sign lights (required by code). Commission Review On April 27, 1987 the Planning Commission reviewed the Arata lighting plan and voted 6-0 (Commissioner Shelley Graham absent) to approve the lighting plan with conditions. The Commission discussion addressed the height of the fixtures on the deck, their visibility and the visibility of the cars parked on the deck, concluding neither would be visible from the street; visibility of security lights on the third deck of the parking structure to residents on Highland, security lights on this deck could be shielded as top deck lights will be; discussed turning off lights in stairwells, concluded not necessary because not bright and stairs could become a security problem; security lights will be only every third or fourth light fixture. City staff had no specific comments other than the need to get required permits and notation that the only effect would be indirect light which would be visible off site but which would be greatly reduced at 10:00 P.M. The lighting plan and indirect light would have no effect on the traffic on California Drive. With the light fixtures included, structures on the top deck do not exceed 5$ of the roof area so that light fixtures proposed do not affect the height of the building. Staff would recommend one addition to the conditions, that all display lighting be placed on a timer set to go on at dusk and off at 10:00 P.M, daily. -3- EXHIBITS: - Monroe letter to Blake Mason notifying of Council review, May 5, 1987 - Planning Commission Minutes, April 27, 1987 - Planning Commission Staff Report, April 27, 1987 w/attachments - Council Notice of Public Hearing, mailed May 8, 1987 - Lighting Plan date stamped April 9, 1987 MM/s cc: Blake Mason, AIA David James Arata, Arata Properties ,�'� e'"'�.....

REVIEW OF LIGHTING PLAN FOR ARATA MOTOR SALES, 150 CALIFORNIA DRIVE, ZONED C-2, SUB AREA D Reference staff report (4/27/87) with attachments. CP Monroe discussed details of the lighting plan, staff review, Planning staff comment, applicant's letter. Five conditions were suggested for consideration at the public hearing. Discussion: overall height of the light fixtures on the top deck will be 18'; tops of the cars on this level might be visible from California Drive, light poles are in the center and might not be visible; this lighting will be turned off at 10:00 P.M., there will be security lighting which staff will review, security lighting will not be approved if it can be seen off the site. Chm. Giomi opened the public hearing. Blake Mason, architect representing Arata, was present. Rick Sofos, 119 Highland �venue, representing 119 and 115 Highland expressed concern: there is security lighting now; security lights on the third parking deck on the California Drive side can be seen from Highland, these lights were not there before; apartment dwellers must pull their shades to watch TV; this proposal appears to be a much more severe impact than what is there now; buildings on Highland are at eye level with the third story of the parking garage; there is a big impact during the day from the auto row commercial area, would not want the impact to continue into the nighttime hours; Ford agreed to tip their lighting when a complaint w CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 27, 1987 CALL TO ORDER A regular meeting of the Planning Commission, City of Burlingame was called to order by Chairman Giomi on April 27, 1987 at 7:30 P..M.

Kathryn Newburn, applicant, responded to Commission� uestio : she considers two classes per week a maximum, if there is a la e dinterest in the classes she would refer people to other instructo the area; she is a registered nurse and a certified childbirth ' struct and does not teach postpartum classes; the office yv�`�' 11 be used t end out information and registration forms write letters, so and file information, prepare class manuals; e expected one to two vi 'tors per day would be those interested in he classes requesting informa ' n. There were no audience c ents and the public hearing was cl d. Stati his approval of an applicant for a school sit whose proposal is definitely a matter of instruction, C. H.Graham move ..�or approval of the special permit and for adoption of Commission Resol't�tion Approving Special Permits with the following conditions: (1> that the Page 3 Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes April 27, 1987 was made to them. It was pointed out that the suggested conditions of approval include review in six months or on the basis of citizen complaint. , Blake Mason commented that the new lights as proposed will have cutoff shields so that the source of illumination will not be visible, it will stop at the parapet wall and not go beyond the structure; regarding existing security night light source, he felt the owners would be willing to consider shielding to reduce the impact; the fourth level of the garage has no security lights; with the exception of the exit signs all lights will be turned off at 10:00 P.M.; after 10:00 P.M there is a single security night light circuit which lights 10$ of the fixtures on the parking deck except the top deck with no lights; exterior stairs are lit, they could be taken off the night light circuit. A Commissioner commented she could understand the concern of the people living in the area with the change from a single level to this parking structure but pointed out the lighting would be reviewed in six months. There were no further audience comments and the public hearing was closed. Commission discussion/comment: possibility of shielding the security liqhts and adding a condition to this effect; pleased with the location of the lights in the center of the structure; should a requirement for turning off the stair lights be added; this could be overkill, security lights normally aren't that bright, have a concern about cutting off security lights or even shielding them. C. Jacobs moved for approval of the lighting plan with the following conditions: (1) that the conditions of the Chief Building Inspector's April 13, 1987 memo shall be met; (2) that as installed the lights shall conform to the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped April 9, 1987; (3) that the fixtures on the top parking deck shall be limited to 400 watt halide and the fixtures on the California Drive frontage shall be limited to 1,000 watt halide; (4) that additional lighting for security including necessary shielding will be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department, Building Department and City Engineer and will not provide direct light off the site; and (5) that this permit shall be reviewed six months after the lights are installed to determine compliance and/or on the basis of citizen complaint. Second C. H.Graham. Comment on the motion: security lights are not generally continuous lighting, only every third or fourth light. Motion approved on a 6-0 roll call vote, C. S.Graham absent. Appeal procedures were advised. 5:�S.�ECIAL PERMIT TO ALLOW �UTO SALES AT 1028 CAROLAN AVENUE, Z ON Reference staff report (4/2�'%'°8'9'�-��w details of the request, staf i applicant's letter meeting suggested f sideration at the ��;,���c ments.��CP Monroe reviewed �..m., ew, propo�ec�•-���..i�.�iting plan, questions. Six cond�itions were public hearing. Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 April 27, 1987 Commission inquired about the use of loudspeakers. Chm. Giomi opened the public hearing. Mr. Miller, Miller Chevrolet and Remi Seremi, applicant, were present. Their comments: applicant's bu� ness will be open only when Miller Chevrolet is open, do not see the fieed for a man gate in �he new fence dividing the front and rear uses on the site, the gate woul� be open when the businesses are open, whe they are closed do not se .the necessity of a man gate. Fire Marsha''1 Musso stated the man gate i an exiting requirement of the Uniform;`Fire Code. Applicant a vised they do not intend to install l;dudspeakers. Mike Harvey involved in the subleasing arrange�ient) stated they are leasing the ck of the lot for new car storag�, security is a big problem and i a man gate is required this w��11 make it difficult to secure the sto age area. CE commented on t�'e exiting requirements, two exits with dir t access to a public way a�e required for the buildings fronting on Rol ins Road; an alternative �aould be a one hour interior corridor in the ollins Road building. $'`taff confirmed the Uniform Fire Code require ent for two exits to a^�public way does take precedence over se urity for the property owner. The Chair noted Commission's conce is the Fire Code 'requirement. One Commissioner felt security for t property owner was also important. CE confirmed part of e fence is i�� place, the man gate could be put any place in the fence cross the�driveway. Mr. Miller stated if the gate were locked at nig t there �s an area where people could stand 100' away from the build g or ey could walk to the rear and to the right to get to the stree . CF�not�d staff had looked at the site plan through to Rollins Road, t re� is not the required clearances for exiting without going onto other property; with the current plan it would be possible to stand �' away from the building on the adjacent property within the storag,� a a. Mike Harvey noted there is almost an acre and a half of vacant�prope ty between the two buildings, one could easily exit the rear of ,t�he Mill r Chevrolet building and be protected; his concern was repeate� vandalis with the man gate there is no way to secure the property�`and securit will be up to the Police Department. ,` �� Discussion continue,t� concerning possibl"� alternatives. Staff explained again the nature of the problem: the bui ding at the rear of the site, 1025 Rollins Road��� was originally placed o close to the property line to provide requi�ed fire exiting away from he structure for the present use with'out adding interior fire cor 'dors; with the two lots under separate;'use and with the fence blocking ccess from the Rollins Road building fo Carolan a man gate is necessar for the Rollins Road building to c,ontinue to meet exiting requirements iven the existing use of this l�uilding. There were no further audien e comments and the public hear�ng was closed. Stating the applicant obviously wishes to use this area�,in that case there is � need to make tradeoffs, the Planning Commissio� cannot grant exceptio�s to the Fire Code, C. Jacobs moved for approval of the special permit and for adoption of Commission Resolution Approving Special Permits, with the following conditions because of its location: (1) that the conditions in the Chief Building Inspector's April 6, 1987 P.C. 4/27/87 I t em # �i�- MEMO T0: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: CITY PLANNER SUBJECT; REVIEW OF LIGHTING PLAN FOR ARATA MOTOR SALES, 150 CALIFORNIA DRIVE, ZONED C-2, SUB AREA D Blake Mason, architect representing Arata Motor Sales, submitted plans on April 9, 1987 for the lighting of the car sales areas at 150 California Drive, zoned C-2, Sub Area D(Auto Row) (Code Sec. 25. 74.010-f). These plans show the lighting fixtures and the light poles for the car sales area on this site. It should be noted that the top deck of the new four level garage structure will be used for car sales as will an area at grade along California Drive. The top deck will be illuminated by three poles placed at the middle of the deck which is 130.5' deep. The poles will be 94' back from the California Drive property line and 65' from the adjacent Southern Pacific right-of-way at the rear of the parking structure. The top of the light fixtures will be 18' above the parking deck and 45.5' above grade. Each fixture will be 400 watt halide and will be shielded to confine the direct light to the parking deck area. There are no adjacent residential uses. �t grade there will be five poles with single fixtures rising 24' above grade (these are existing poles). These fixtures are 1,000 watt halide. Their light will be shielded to pool in the 29' area between the property line along California Drive and the parking structure. At the rear of the standards some direct light will spill over onto the sidewalk. All of these lights will be photocell and placed on a timer. Generally they will go on at dusk and be turned off at 10:00 P.M. Staff Review City staff have reviewed this request. The Fire Marshal (April 14, 1987 memo) had no comments. The Chief Building Inspector (April 13, 1987 memo) notes that they will need engineering calculations on all light standards and building and electrical permits. The City Engineer (April 13, 1987 memo) comments separately on the fixtures placed on the top deck and those at grade. Regarding the fixtures on the deck he notes the proposed lighting exceeds that needed for security, if properly shielded will only cause a large amount of indirect light, will be highly visible at a distance but there are no residential uses nearby to be affected. Regarding the lighting along California Drive he feels there will be little effect outside of the commercial area and the lights will not affect traffic on California Drive. Planning staff would note that structures on the roof do not exceed 5� of the roof area so that addition of these poles does not affect the height of the structure. -2- Applicant's Letter In his letter of March 20, 1987 Blake Mason notes that the proposed lights are in addition to security lighting and will be regulated by photocells and a timer. As a result these lights will go on at dusk and be timed to turn off at 10:00 P.M. The 18' height level of the poles on the roof is necessary in order to tell details and colors of the cars on public display there. Adjustable light shields in the fixtures will prevent spillover of the main illumination onto California Drive and the S.P. right-of-way. Planninq Commission Action The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing and review the proposed lighting plan. At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered: l. that the conditions of the Chief Building Inspector's April 13, 1987 memo shall be met; 2. that as installed the lights shall conform to the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped April 9, 1987; 3. that the fixtures on the top parking deck shall be limited to 400 watt halide and the fixtures on the California Drive frontage shall be limited to 1,000 watt halide; 4. that additional lighting for security will be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department, Building Departm�nt and City Engineer and will not provide direct light off the sit;�; and 5. that this permit shall be reviewed six months after the lights are installed to determine compliance and/or on the basis of citizen complaint.

The front 29 feet along California Drive and the top deck of the parking structure are to be used as auto display and sales areas. The applicant proposes to place eight 400 watt halide light fixtures on three poles rising 18 feet above the top deck of the parking structure. The 13ghts will be shielded so that the direct light is focused on the parking deck. Along the California frontag� they will place five 20 foot poles with 1000 watt halide fixtures. These poles are existing and are now in place, the fixtures are tilted to direct the light onto the site, there is a small spillover of light onto the public sidewalk. The parking deck lights will be on from dusk until 10 p.m., as will the lights on California. The lights will be placed on a timer. Ten percent of the ceiling lights in the parking structure will be kept on all night for'security as will lights in the stairwells of the structure, the only lights left on all night on the top deck will be the exit sign lights. The Planning Commission approved the lighting plan vith conditions at its me2ting of April 27, 1987, Councilman PagZiaro noted he had called this project up for reviev and that he had visited the four story parking structure and there are some existing lights there; City Planner said if plan is approved tonight only the lights on plan would be allowed.
