The Burlingame Planning Commission has approved the application to build a six-story residential building in the backyard of 1418 Bellevue Avenue, located within walking distance of the retail-rich Burlingame Avenue in San Mateo County. The project benefits from the state density bonus to designate two of the 15 units as affordable to moderate-income households. MH Architects is managing the design as the project architect.

The project will divide the existing 28,330 square foot property into two parcels. Lot 1 would retain 18,950 square feet and the existing 49-unit apartment building at 1418 Bellevue Avenue. Lot 2, which is currently occupied by a turfgrass yard and courtyard, would span 9,830 square feet.

The 75-foot tall structure will yield 15,500 square feet of residential space, with parking included for 19 vehicles. Residences will contain a kitchen and living room, laundry, and a balcony. Of the 15 units, ten will be one-bedrooms, and five will be two-bedrooms. Unit sizes will range from 700 square feet to 1,520 square feet.

The design, by MH Architects, is to be clad with painted stucco walls, wood siding, and board-form concrete, cedar trim, and louvered trellis. The proposal includes a green-screen landscape wall on the front facade. Stephanie O’Rourke will be responsible for the landscape architecture.
