An application has been approved for construction of a new three-story, 11-unit residential condominium development with at-grade at 1509 El Camino Real. The project will include two 1-bedroom units, five 2-bedroom units and four 3-bedroom units. One of the 1-bedroom units has been designated as an affordable unit.
The project site consists of two separate lots, which will be combined into one lot for the proposed project. One lot contains an 11-unit apartment complex, comprised of two, two-story buildings and one, three-story building and is zoned R-3 (multi-family residential). The other lot contains a portion of Mills Creek and is zoned R-2 (two-family residential). The existing apartment complex will be demolished to build the proposed 11-unit residential condominium development.
The Burlingame City Council held a public hearing on Tuesday, September 6, 2016, to consider introduction of an ordinance rezoning property from Two-Family Residential (R-2) to Multi-Family Residential (R-3), consideration of a General Plan Amendment to designate the property from Medium Density Residential to Medium-High Density Residential, a Mitigated Negative Declaration, a Condominium Permit, a Fence Exception, a Tentative Condominium Map, and a Tentative and Final Parcel Map for Lot Combination related to construction of a new three-story, 11-unit residential condominium development at 1509 El Camino Real.
The Burlingame Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 25, 2016, to review applications to rezone a portion of the property from Two-Family Residential (R-2) to Multi-Family Residential (R-3), a General Plan Amendment to designate the property proposed for rezoning from Medium Density Residential to Medium-High Density Residential, a Mitigated Negative Declaration, a Condominium Permit, a Fence Exception, a Tentative Condominium Map, and a Tentative and Final Parcel Map for Lot Combination related to construction of a new three-story, 11-unit residential condominium development at 1509 El Camino Real. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed applications.
Since the City Council is the final decision-making body regarding the request for Rezoning and General Plan Amendment, the Planning Commission's action was in the form of a recommendation to the City Council.
