INTER -DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2009
TO: Eric Davis, Deputy City Attorne
FROM: Raffi Boloyaln, Principal Planner
CC: Nader Mansourian, Assistant Pulbli orks Director
SUBJECT: 777 Francisco Blvd - Implications of Reduced Land Area for a Lot with Legal
Non -Conforming Floor Area
The Planning Division has reviewed the - potential implications of the Department of Public
Works acquisition of approximately 108 sq ft of land area from the property at 777 Francisco
Blvd. {APN 014-204-09), in addition to temporary construction easements of 608 sq ft. The
acquisition is necessary for the completion of a pedestrian and mobility improvement project.'
BACKGROUND:
The existing 26,650 square foot site hosts an approximately 19,418 -square -foot building. Staff
has not found any records of the original construction of the building but it is evident that the
building and a subsequent addition at the rear predated the current floor area ratio (FAR) limits
contained in the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The existing FAR for the site is 0.73,
which exceeds the current standard of 0.32 for bulk retail or specialty retail uses in this area of
East San Rafael. Given that the building was built prior to the adoption of the current floor area
ratio limits, the structure is considered legal, non -conforming in terms of FAR.
The number of parking spaces approved on this site is 13 parkingspaces per the last approved
Environmental and Design Review Permit {ED99-73). Under current regulations, a 19,418 sq ft
bulk retail building would require 49 'spaces (based on a 1/400 sq ft rate). The proposed
reduction in land area would not reduce the approved (13) parking spaces on the site.
The current regulations also require 15% of the site to be landscaped. The current site does not
meet this requirement.
ANALYSIS:
Floor Area Ratio:
The proposed acquisition of 108 sq feet (since the construction easements are temporary, they
P
Would not be permanently reduced from this site) would further reduce the land area for this
.site, thereby increasing the already legal, non -conforming FAR for the site. The question is
whether the reduction of the land area (and therefore corresponding dinq I
respon - increase in FAR} would
affect the legal non conforming status of this structure and the development rights attached to
the site, and if so, how.
Section 14.16.270-C of the Zoning Ordinance addresses the regulations pertaining to non
conforming structures. Subsection 2 states uAlterations and additionsmay be made to a
nonconforming structure provided that there shall be no increas-e-in the dikrepancy between

Page 2
existing conditions and the standards for the district." After a review of this section, the Planning
Division finds:
The land area that would be lost from this site would be transferred the public right-
of-way.
The public right-of-way does not have development potential which would increase
as a result of the additional land area.
• The increase FAR does not change existing size of the structure, nor does it allow
increased, development potential on another property.
The primary purpose of a FAR is to regulate traffic intensity and transferring of the
land area to the public right of way -would not transfer the development potential to
another private property.
Therefore, the change to the FAR by the city acquisition of this land area is found to
be an alteration that would not result in any increase in the already existing
discrepancy of FAR limits or intensification of use, and is therefore allowed.
Consequently, if the structure were damaged in the future by natural disaster, the structure
would be allowed to be rebuilt based on the lot size before the City acquisition and. at the
current FAR of 0.73 before the city acquisition as follows. -
Section 14.16.270. C.4 - A nonconforming structure damaged or destroyed to the extent
of 'seventy-five percent (75%) or less of the current market value may be repaired or
replaced in its existing location,, provided such restoration is started within a period of
one (1) year and is diligently prosecuted to completion.
Section 14.18.270. C.8 - All other nonconforming structures damaged or destroyed to the
extent of more than seventy-five percent {7'5%) of the current market value may be
repaired or replaced provided a use permit is obtained for such restoration within a
period of one (1) year, restoration is diligently prosecuted to completion and the
structure is made to conform to all regulations of the district in which it is located,* or, to
the original condition provided that a use permit is issued by the planning commission
after finding that
a. The parking is consistent with Chapter 14. 18, Parking Standards., and the design
is compatible with the neighborhood in which it is located.
b. In the commercial, office, mixed-use or industrial districts no -intensification of
use is proposed.
However, the treatment of a legal nonconforming structure is different under the Zoning
Ordinance when it is removed volu'ntari.1y. In such a case, any new structure on the site would
have to comply with development regulations in effect at the time of replacement, regardless of
the legal, non -conforming status. Thus, if the property owners here were to voluntarily remove
and replace the building right now, they would be limited to the 0.32 FAR that is the standard for
bulk retail or specialty retails uses, 0.21 FAR is the standard for general retail and service and
0.26 FAR 1*s the standard for office in this area.
The result would be the same after the City's purchase of the 108 sq ft - if the property owner's
were to voluntarily remove and rebuild the building on this site, they would be limited to the
0.21 -*32 FAR (depending on use). This requirement i's not unique to this particular case nor is
it a result of -the City acquisition. This is a standard requirement that would berequired or
En"d Davis: Re: 777 Fr4&sco Blvd
December 21, 2009
Page 3
imposed on any 'non-residential building in the City that does not comply with current
development standards and is voluntarily removed- and then proposed to be built.
In summary, the diminution in lot size as a result of the City's purchase of 108 sq ft will not
change the property owners' rights to rebuild, whether the building is removed involuntarily by
accident or natural disaster, or voluntarily.
Parking:
The City acquisition would not reduce the 13 approved parking spaces. However, a site
inspection reveals that there have been some changes on the site that have increased the
number of parking spaces from 13 to 14 and changed the traffic pattern without city approval.
The legalization of the change will require an Environmental and Design Review Permit.
Landscaping:
There was some reduction in the amount of site landscaping as a result of the city acquisition
and as previously mentioned, the site was already legal, non conforming in the amount of
landscaping. A site 'inspection demonstrates that the -further reduction in landscaping as a result
of the right of way acquisition is negligible and therefore will not effect the legal, non confirming
status of the site landscaping, i.e. no additional landscaping will be required to offset the loss as
a result of the city's acquisition.
SUMMARY
The building on this site is considered legal non -conforming in terms of both FAR and parking.
Given that this is a City acquisition, the purpose of this memo is to identify that in case of
natural disaster to damage to the structure, the property will not lose its legal non conforming
rights and they would continue to be applied as if the 108 sq ft acquisition did not occur.
