Planning Division: The request is in the Burlingame Valley Planning District. The
Land Use Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for the requested area. The
Residential Low Density category provides for single family homes at densities not
to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential development is typically
characterized by conventional single family homes, but may also include patio or
garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than 6
units per acre. The application is to revise an existing PDR (Planned Development
Residential) District to approve the second phase of the Parkside at Wildwood
Subdivision of detached and attached single-family houses. There are 53 new
single family lots proposed with 4 tracts. This results in a density of between 3 and
3.5 units per acre.
Master Street Plan: To the north is Denny Road and it is shown as a Minor Arterial
on the Master Street Plan. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through
an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within
the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative
effects of traffic and pedestrians on Denny Road since it is a Minor Arterial. This
street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements
for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There is a Class II Bike Route shown on Denny Road. A Bike Lane
provides a portion of the pavement for the sole use of bicycles.

minimum width of 50-feet. Variances are requested to provide a front setback of
20-feet and side yard setbacks of 5-feet.

and then to the north, culminating in a cul-de-sac. Lots on Rosemary Way,
denoted as Block 4, are to be a minimum of 60-feet wide, standard in the R-2
district. The same variances to reduce the front setback to 20-feet and the side
setback to 5-feet, as with Block 2, are requested.
Other development standards from the Phase 1 approval are also brought forward
