San Bruno Planning Commission Meeting July 19, 2011
5d. 560 San Mateo Ave.
A
B
You
and
good
evening
the
subject
site
is
located
on
the
east
side
of
san
mateo
avenue
it's
2,500
square
feet,
you're,
probably
familiar
with
it.
It
was
previously
occupied
by
lullaby
Lane
and
is
immediately
adjacent
to
the
public
walkway
that
goes
from
San
Mateo
Avenue
into
the
parking
lot
in
the
back.
The
applicant
is
proposing
a
coin-operated
laundry
business
at
that
location,
and
that
is
a
conditional
use
in
the
central
business
district
zoning.
The
applicant
has
also
applied
for
an
architectural
review,
permit
and
facade
improvement
funding,
and
those
things
were
heard.
B
Just
last
Thursday
July
fourteenth
before
the
Architectural
Review
Committee,
the
Architectural
Review
permit,
was
approved
and
the
facade
improvement
funding
was
approved
as
well.
The
plans
and
the
color
rendering
from
that
Architectural
Review
permit
were
included
in
your
packet.
Although
it's
a
separate
entitlement,
it
does
play
into
our
analysis
and
thought
about
the
project.
So
you
have
the
color
in
front
of
you
for
your
review
as
we're
discussing
here
tonight.
B
I
also
like
to
point
out
that
the
improvements
that
were
approved
as
part
of
the
architectural
review
permit
would
be
required
to
be
completed
before
business
operation.
So
the
conditional
use
permit
before
you
tonight
does
have
a
condition
of
approval
that
says
all
improvements
from
the
architectural
review
permit
would
have
to
be
completed
prior
to
operation.
B
So
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
now
the
applicant
is
proposing
a
full-service
laundry
business,
so
that
includes
coin
operated,
washers
and
dryers,
and
these
are
described
to
staff
and
in
the
statement
as
being
sort
of
modern
and
up-to-date
equipment,
and
so
they
are
more
water
efficient.
They
are
more
energy
efficient
and,
as
I
understand,
it
also
complete
the
washing
and
drying
cycles.
More
quickly,
so
hopefully
gone
are.
The
days
are
standing
at
the
laundromat
for
many
many
hours.
B
But
as
we
know,
many
members
of
our
community
do
rely
on
the
coin-operated
laundry
I'm
to
meet
their
basic
needs.
They
also
propose
to
have
a
wash
and
fold
service,
as
well
as
a
dry-cleaning
pick-up
and
drop-off,
and
the
cleaning
itself
would
be
done
at
another
site.
Their
proposed
business
hours
are
fairly
long
at
7am
to
11
p.m.
seven
days
per
week.
They
have
also
said
that
they
would
always
have
an
employee
on
site
to
provide
service
and
maintain
kind
of
safety
and
security
in
a
presence
in
the
in
the
storefront.
B
They've
also
proposed
cameras
at
the
entrances
to
increase
security
and
reduce
vandalism,
as
the
Commission
has
discussed
in
the
past,
and
we've
talked
about
security
cameras
and
locations
that
may
not
have
enough
lighting
to
make
sure
that
the
cameras
are
picking
up
everything
that
they're
intended
to
see.
We
talked
about
that
at
the
st.
B
Vincent
DePaul
application,
so
we
have
revised
our
condition
language
that
we
use
for
security
cameras
to
say
that
if
the
lighting
is
not
sufficient
for
the
cameras
to
work,
then
the
lighting
would
also
have
to
be
improved
for
the
cameras
to
function
properly.
For
those
of
you
that
you
were
at
the
architectural
review
committee
meeting
and
we
did
discuss
and
add
a
little
bit
of
additional
exterior
lighting
on
the
project,
the
staff
is
confident
at
this
time
that
the
lighting
will
be
sufficient
and
incurable
of
safety
I'm.
B
Considering
those
hours
that
go
into
the
evening,
steps
on
a
courtesy
notice
on
jun
29th,
as
well
as
a
legal
notice
on
July
eighth,
we
have
not
received
any
comments.
I'm,
as
of
tonight,
staff
does
support
the
project
for
several
reasons.
So
to
summarize,
the
project
includes
modern
equipment
that
saves
water
and
energy
includes
a
on-demand
hot
water
system,
and
so
this
is
really
the
latest
technology.
B
That's
available
for
this
type
of
business
there,
including
dramatic
improvements
to
the
site,
including
a
new
storefront,
so
the
actual
window
storefront
system
is,
is
proposed
and
approved
to
be
replaced.
New
sign,
they've,
also
included
sort
of.
I
would
describe
it
as
a
whimsical
mural
feature
across
the
front
elevation
that
really
reinforces
that
use
of
a
laundry
mat,
but
I
think,
also
could
be
described
as
family-friendly
and
attractive
to
children
as
they're
in
the
area
they're
also
proposing
what
is
really
a
significant
investment
in
a
building.
B
That's
remained
essentially
unchanged
for
decades,
and
finally,
it
is
a
needed
service.
People
need
a
place
to
do
their
laundry
and
this
business
would
be
new
and
up-to-date
and
would
have
a
high-quality
appearance.
So,
therefore,
staff
does
recommend
approval
of
use,
permit
11,
0
10,
based
on
findings
of
fact,
1
2,
3
and
subject
to
the
conditions.
Approval
in
the
staff
report
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
C
B
That's
because
of
the
timing,
in
the
turnaround
so
to
update
the
rest
of
the
Commission.
There
was
quite
a
bit
of
discussion
at
architectural
review.
The
applicant
has
expressed
an
interest
in
having
some
seating
opportunities
in
the
back
of
the
building.
There's
some
empty
io
called
empty
space,
there's
an
old
ramp
or
two
old
ramps
that
are
there
now
the
ramp
will
have
to
be
compliant
with
a
DA
requirements,
but
they
would
like
to
use
that
rear
area
as
some
benefit
to
their
customers.
D
Commissioner,
be
a
soggy,
can't
ask
my
question:
just
gonna,
take
a
little
bit
further,
just
so
I'm
clear
I'm
talking
about
the
rear
in
the
ramp
were
specifically
talking
about
the
back
of
the
buildings
in
the
area
that
they
want
to
use
it
isn't
properly
being
used
right
now.
Is
that
that
adjacent
area
outside
of
the
actual
building
itself?
Yes,.
B
D
That's
you
know,
I,
guess
you
guys
hash
it
over
at
our
commander,
my
concern
and
I'll
just
voice.
It
now
would
be
anything
that's
going
to
be
too
nice
in
the
back
there
and
don't
get
me
wrong,
but
benches
or
anything
like
that.
It
could
possibly
end
up
attracting.
Just
you
know:
non-customers
like
you're,
stating
and
or
maybe
undesirable,
non-customers
I
guess
would
be
the
pc
way
of
putting
it.
I
don't
know,
and
how
would
how
would
that
lighting
and
safety
affect
the
patrons
and
the
staff
that's
going
to
be
working
there?
D
B
I
think
the
applicant
can
speak
to
some
of
the
details.
What
I
would
add
from
a
staff
point
of
view
is
we
talked
about
it
architectural
review
committee,
but
changing
to
more
of
a
glass
storefront
style
door,
so
the
employees
would
have
some
visibility
to
the
outside.
I
think,
from
an
operational
point
of
view,
they
would
probably
want
to
consider
when
they
make
seating
available
in
the
back.
You
probably
don't
want
to
have
seating
until
eleven
o'clock
at
night,
a
good
portion
of
the
year,
so
I
think
they
would.
B
A
C
A
E
D
Couple
questions
number
one
as
I
just
stated,
you
know
the
at
that
rear
area.
You
know
my
concern
is
the
safety
of
patrons
are
going
to
be
there
and
staff
right
and
if
it's
going
to
be
as
a
rear
door
going
to
be
open
for
the
whole
entire
time
that
businesses
is
open
or
do
you
possibly
plan
on
closing
you
know
just
having
the
front
entrance
say
like
after
I
don't
know
ten
o'clock
or
well.
E
D
E
D
E
E
And
worried,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
haven't
been
there
late
at
night,
I
can't
to
answer
that
question
how
thick
it
is
or
not,
but
we're
going
to
have
a
camera
and
we're
going
to
have
a
couple
of
attendance
and
based
on
that
will
make
a
decision
whether
to
open
until
ten
o
clock
already
eleven
o'clock.
So.
D
C
A
F
Did
serve
on
the
Architectural
Review,
Committee
and
and
for
just
information
for
my
colleagues
here,
commissioners
I
really
felt
that
the
the
committee
really
thoroughly
explored
all
the
details
of
the
safety.
The
deal
details
of
lighting,
all
the
specifics.
There
was
a
lot
of
compliance
on
the
on
the
applicant's
part
and
as
far
as
the
hours
I
feel
that
having
it
to
eleven
o'clock,
it's
not
unreasonable,
recognizing
that
it's
not
uncommon
for
families
by
the
time
they
put
down
their
children
and
and
just
go
on
with
their
day
to
day.
It's
about
time.
F
You
tito
landrum
additives,
nine
o'clock,
but
time
you
get
all
everything
done.
So
eleven
o'clock
is
not
unreasonable.
However,
I
certainly
would
like
to
leave
it
in
the
and
the
department
hands
that,
if
something
you
should
come
up
that
they
would
have
the
direction
to
make
those
decisions
on
adjusting
those
hours
should
they
need
to
do
that.
D
C
A
Via
Sade
is
the
second
I'd
like
to
mention
that
I
had
a
discussion
with
staff
about
the
video
recording
and
suggested
staff
incorporate
some
thinking
about
how
to
review
whether
the
recording
is
actually
working
or
not.
We've
had
several
applications
in
the
last
couple
months
that
have
video
surveillance,
but
the
idea
of
record
checking
to
see
if
the
recording
is
actually
happening,
so
it
can
be
used
as
been
up
in
the
question.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
call
for
the
question,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
all.
