Home My WebLink About1425 Cabrillo Avenue - Staff ReportCity of Burlingame Item No. Zb Conditional Use Permits for an Accessory Structure Consent Calendar Address: 1425 Cabrillo Avenue Meeting Date: March 24, 2014 Request: Application for Conditional Use Permits for changes to an existing, non-conforming, two-story accessory structure (originally approved on January 28, 2013). Property Owner: Amy Lou & Andrew Woods Applicant and Designer: Megan Warren General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 026-052-030 Lot Area: 6000 SF Zoning: R-1 Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (e), which states that construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences is exempt from environmental review. History: Application for Conditional Use Permits for changes to an existing non-conforming two-story accessory structure at 1425 Cabrillo Avenue was originally approved by the Planning Commission on January 28, 2013, and became effective February 7, 2013 (see attached January 28, 2013 Planning Commission Minutes). The Conditional Use Permit approval is valid for one year during which time a building permit must be issued (must be issued by February 7, 2014). An extension of up to one year may be considered by the Planning Commission if application is made before the end of the first year. In this instance, a building permit was not issued before February 7th, nor was an application for a one year extension submitted (property owners submitted an application for a building permit on February 18, 2014). As a result, the Planning Commission approval of the Conditional Use Permit has expired. Therefore, a new application for Conditional Use Permits is now required, which includes review by the Planning Commission. As indicated in the attached e-mail dated March 5, 2014 (attached), the property owners were faced with several personal difficulties within the last year and were not able to focus on their application. The property owners are now ready to commence with the project. There are no changes proposed to the originally approved Conditional Use Permit application. The attachments to the staff report and descriptions in the remainder of the staff report are the same as the original January 28, 2013 approval. This application was placed directly on the consent calendar because there are no changes proposed to the original approval and there were no concerns expressed by neighboring property owners when the original application was reviewed. Project Description: The existing property has a single family dwelling with a detached, two-story accessory structure. The accessory structure is located in the rear left corner of the property and is set back from the left side property line by 3'/z" and from the rear property line by 2 3/<". The first floor of the accessory structure is used for parking and the second floor of the structure has been used as a storage area with an associated toilet room. Access to the second floor of the accessory structure is from an exterior staircase located along the right side of the structure. The existing accessory structure is non-conforming because of its size, setbacks, height, window placement, and because of the existence of the toilet. City building permit records indicate that the original house and detached garage at 1425 Cabrillo Avenue were built in 1925. The San Mateo County Assessor's Office Appraisal Report, conducted eight years after the house was built, indicates that the detached garage was built as a two-story structure with parking on the first floor and a finished 14' x 21' room on the second floor (see attached Appraisal Report). The applicant is proposing to convert the use of the existing second floor of the accessory from storage to recreation and is proposing to remodel the existing second floor by building a new full bathroom and by replacing existing windows with new energy efficient windows. All proposed changes to the existing accessory structure require Conditional Use Permits. There are no changes proposed to setbacks, lot coverage, floor area ratio, building height, declining height envelope or parking proposed with this application. Conditional Use Permits forAccessory Structure The applicant is requesting the following applications: 1425 Cabrillo Avenue ■ Conditional Use Permit for a change in use in an existing accessory structure from storage to a workout room (CS 25.60.010 (m)); ■ Conditional Use Permit for windows located within 10'-0" of side property line and more than 10'-0" above grade (CS 25.60.010 (i)); and ■ Conditional Use Permit for a new full bathroom in an accessory structure (CS 25.60.010 (j)). 1425 Cabrillo Avenue �ot Area: ci,uuu 5r Plans date stam ed: December 18, 2012 EXISTING PROPOSED ALLOWED / REQUIRED Use in Accessory Parking (15� floor) Parking (1 St floor) ' CUP for recreation uses in Structure: Storage (2"d floor) Work Out Room (2"d floor)' an accessory structure' Windows in 8 windows located on : 3 replacement windows located CUP for windows within 10' Accessory 2"d floor of structure within 10' of a property line and : of a property line and for Sfrucfure: within 10' of a located higher than 10' above windows higher than 10' property line grade Z above grade 2 .

Staff Comments: See attached memos for the originally approved application from the Chief Building Official, Fire Marshal, City Engineer and NPDES Coordinator. Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020, a-c): (a) The proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience; (b) The proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general plan and the purposes of this title; (c) The planning commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. Conditional Use Permit Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached mirrutes of the Planning Commission's January 28, 2013 meeting, that the existing two-story accessory structure was built in 1925 and has been used for vehicle parking on the ground floor and a finished storage room with an associated toilet room on the second floor since then; that the ground floor space will continue to provide the required off-street parking for the existing single family dwelling on the lot; that the conversion of the use on the existing second floor from storage to recreation, adding a full bathroom and replacing existing windows located within 10'-0" of property line and more -2- Conditional Use Permits for Accessory Structure 1425 Cabrillo Avenue than 10'-0" above grade with new energy efficient windows is not a significant alteration to the existing structure and therefore will not negatively impact neighboring properties; and that because there are no changes proposed to setbacks, lot coverage, floor area ratio, building height, declining height envelope or parking proposed with this application, the project is found to be compatible with the requirements for a Conditional Use Permit. 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: that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division and date stamped December 18, 2012, sheets A.1 through A.5; 2. that if the windows do not match the existing windows, then the selected windows shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to installation via an FYI; 3. that the accessory living quarters above the detached garage shall only include a workout room and a bathroom; any changes to the use of the accessory living quarters shall require an amendment to the conditional use permit; 4. that the accessory structure shall never include a kitchen with a permanent cooking fixture, as this would change the use of the accessory structure to a second dwelling unit, and the accessory structure shall never be used for living purposes as a second dwelling unit; 5. that if the accessory structure is demolished, the envelope changed at a later date, or should the use in the structure change, the conditional use permit may require an amendment or may become void; 6. that the conditions of the City Engineer's September 6, 2012, memo, Chief Building Official's December 20, 2012, November 13, 2012, and August 26, 2012, memos, and the Stormwater Coordinator's August 28, 2012, memo shall be met; 7. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall not occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to comply with all the regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District; 8. that the project shall comply with the Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance which requires affected demolition, new construction and alteration projects to submit a Waste Reduction plan and meet recycling requirements; any partial or full demolition of a structure, interior or exterior, shall require a demolition permit; and 9. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Uniform Fire Codes, 2013 Edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.

I wanted to first thank you for following up on this. My wife and appreciate that. I also wanted you to understand the circumstances that led to the lapse, and ask that you and the commission take this into account in the hopes that we can get the permit re-approved as quickly as possible. Just as we were about to begin the work last year my father died. Subsequently, his identity was stolen by organized criminal enterprise, false tax returns were filed, and a substantial amount of money was stolen from his (former) accounts. My grieving mother was left on her own in Arizona, and so I spent many months helping her deal with a new reality, "working" with the IRS, and attempting to restore her financial viability. At the same time, my wife's father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and we were forced to move him from Seattle to the bay area for care-giving. As you might expect, the permit deadline was the last thing on our minds. Now that our lives are stable, we are really looking forward to improving our property. It was thoroughly disheartening to hear that a matter of a (literally) few days will cost us much time and additional funds. I understand the city wants it's money, and I'm fine with paying whatever process as much as reasonable and not drag anything out unnecessarily. the commission. Thanks, . Can I just ask that we expedite this Please feel free to pass this along to Andy Woods 650.455.5581 CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANN/NG COMMISSION — Approved Minutes January 28, 2013 VIII.

Correct, the massing will not be affected, the building will appear to be the exact same from street view. •"Address how many bathrooms are in the existing structure." There are two full bathrooms in the existing house. There is a full bathroom in the master suite as well as one full bath on the main floor of the house. •"Why is there a need for a shower in the accessory structure?" The residents are interested in having a space that is a fully functioning workout area. Since there was already a toilet at the top of the stairs they would like to move it inside the structure for ease of use and would also like to add the shower as an option to get showered and dressed immediately after working out rather than returning to the main house and going upstairs. •"If no closet space, then it is unlikely that people would change clothes there." Because no one is planning on living in the accessory structure, there is no need for a closet. Since the residents have a closet in the main house, they would take what they want to change into after working out with them to the workout room, store it in the locker for use after showering. There will be a dresser underneath the television to store athletic clothing. •"More information on the design of the windows adjacent to the property line; obscured glass, one hour rating, wired glass?" The windows will be energy efficient and 1 hour rated. They will not be obscured because of existing trees along the property line that provide privacy. •"Is the space going to be conditioned?" It is likely that we will install a hydronic electric baseboard heating system.

No chemicals or dangerous equipment will be stored there. Having an existing finished room that cannot be used as housing devoted to exercise and self betterment is positive in that it reduces emissions from driving to the gym regularly and reinforces a positive way of living for one more household in Burlingame. 2. How will the proposed use be located and conducted in accordance with tlze Burlingame General Plan and Zoning Ordinance? We are not working outside of an existing footprint. We are removing 3 windows, none of which are visible to any neighbors. We are replacing some of the existing windows with energy efficient versions the same size and style. 3.

We would like to move the existing toilet inside the main room (it is not outside the main door on top of the stairs) and add a shower. In order to do this we would need to remove one window on both the North and South sides of the structure and the only window on the West side of the structure.

We are OK with your changes that you have planned to do. Only concerns we have are as I have verbally indicated to you, here may be also found in writing. We have a 6 yr old child which enjoys our backyard and his safety is our main concern as well as ours. Having unpleasant experiences during the other side of the house construction, here are cautions we would require from your contractor. Make sure that safety cover/panel or similar protection/care is taken to prevent any nails to be shot out to our backyard during construction (Excuse my explanation as I am not an expert on using the right description of the tools) We had many nails fell onto our property in the past from the other next door house construction which caused fear of our child's safety and and also caused flat tires of our car. Also would like to be inform those dates the outside nailing tools will be used- we could be also do our part to avoid being there if we have to. We absolutely do not want any of our tree branches to be trimmed nor cut without prior written permission. If there will be any outside spray painting involved, we would like the contractor to have the necessary precaution to prevent our trees nor the backyard to be painted. Thank you again for being courteous.

As you know, we are submitting proposals to the city of Burlingame to modify the space above our garage to an exercise room. 1. As part of the permitting process, the city has asked us to provide them with a letter from the owner of your property (you). This letter should acknowledge that: you and I have spoken about the work, and that you have no issues or concerns with the proposal/work planned. To this end, I have attached the drawing we are submitting to the city that indicates the changes to the side of the garage nearest your property. As you can see, we only intend to modify the number of windows and the window placement on that side nearest your property. You are also welcome to review the entire permit/plans submitted to the city--they are/will be public. You can simply email me back the letter and I will submit it with my plans. 2. Also, you mentioned to me that the contractor who built the house to the south ofyours (1417 Cabrillo) was careless (leaving refuse and materials in your yard, chopping your trees without permission, etc.) We intend to be perFect neighbors and will not allow our contractor to damage your property. Could you please email me separately a list of your potential concerns and I will ensure that our contractor abides by them? Please contact me if you have any concerns--I want this construction to be as least disruptive as possible for you and your family.
