Maximum Residential Density.
20 units/acre. (10-1-2436.5)
The proposed density is 20.6
du/ac. Pursuant to the first
footnote in Table 10-1-628(A) of
the Municipal Code, for
dwelling unit calculations, the
number of allowed dwelling
units is determined by rounding
down to the nearest whole
number even when the fraction
is 0.5 or greater. Thus, the
allowed number of units on the
4.7-acre site at 20 units per acre
is 94 units. However, the
Applicant has committed to
adjusting the number of units in
consultation with City staff to
ensure compliance with this
provision, and may request a
density bonus in accordance
with the State Density Bonus
Law and the City’s Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance. Thus, the
application does not conflict
with the City’s General Plan and
zoning requirements.

maximum height of a structure
shall be a maximum of 35 feet
as measured from grade. Roof
and architectural features may

maintained. Maximum building
height shall be measured to the
ceiling height of the highest

occupancy. A Conditional Use
Permit is required for a
structure higher than 35 feet.

However, the Application also
notes “at this time, the Project

will be provided when those
design details
have been more refined.”
However, the Code suggests
that only roof/architectural
“features” may project above

24. The State of California Public Utilities Commission General Order No. 95 requires that no building or structure be allowed to encroach within the envelope 8’ vertical and 3’ horizontal from the existing low voltage lines along the existing alleys within project boundary. The lines are approximately 27 feet from grade. The actual height and location of the conductor attachment has to be surveyed and shown on the plans.
25. The State of California Public Utilities Commission General Order No. 95 requires that no temporary scaffolding, platforms or supporting framework upon which men may work be allowed to encroach within the required clearance envelopes as stated in the p revious two comments.
ATTACHMENT 3-78
26. Burbank Water and Power Rules and Regulations require that no open patios or balconies will be erected underneath any high voltage overhead conductor regardless of vertical clearance.
27. The developer’s contractor is responsible for protecting any existing Burbank Water and Power facilities in place. Power poles must be protected in place to prevent any movement of the pole butt during excavation. Anchors must also be protected to prevent slippage or exposure that could result in the reduction or loss of holding power. If these requirements cannot be met, then no excavation will be allowed within three feet from the face of poles and five feet from anchors.
28. The developer’s contractor is responsible for protecting any existing Burbank Water and Power underground facilities from damage during construction. No crane imposed loads will be allowed on any existing manhole or pullbox structures.
29. Any excavation that restricts vehicular access to existing BWP facilities may require the relocation of such facilities at the developer’s cost.
Aid-in-Construction
30. The Burbank Water and Power fees for providing electric service are Aid-in-Construction (AIC) charges set f orth in Section 3.26 of BWP’s Rules and Regulations for Electric Service. AIC charges are to recover the actual cost of:
a) Providing and installing new facilities to serve the customer; b) Conducting feasibility studies and engineering;
c) Relocating existing overhead or underground facilities.
31. Depending on local site conditions and the location of the project, AIC costs can vary widely from project to project. For reference, historical AIC costs for developments between 1 MVA and 5 MVA have ranged from $400,000 - $1,200,000 per MVA. For projects in this size range, BWP recommends performing a feasibility study early on in the project to determine a proposed electrical route and a rough cost estimate.
32. If any portion of the existing BWP facilities needs to be upgraded or relocated due to the subject project, it will be done at the developer’s expense.
Metering/Service
33. All electrical installations must conform to the Burbank Water and Power Rules and Regulations for Electric Service (latest revision).
34. Contact BWP Engineering at (818) 238 -3647 (resid ential) or at (818) 238 -3565 (commercial) if the existing service panel requires upgrading.
ATTACHMENT 3-79
35. For multi-metered services all numbering must be completed in a permanent manner at all individual units and meter sockets before service can be energized. See BWP Rules and Regulations, Section 2.68 (c) for acceptable labeling (stenciling or riveted tags required, permanent marker is unacceptable). Contact Public Works Engineering for unit designations.
36. The service switchboard rating shall be limited to 3000 Amps. Five copies of EUSERC drawings of the switchboard shall be provided to BWP for approval prior to submittal to the manufacturer. Service shall not be energized unless these drawings are provided.
37. Outdoor meter locations are preferred. When adequate exterior wall space is not available, a separately locked, clearly labeled meter room is acceptable. All meter rooms must be located on the ground floor and have two exit doors equipped with panic hardware. At least one door must lead directly outside . BWP must be supplied an access key to the room, which will be installed in a lock box adjacent to the door. The developer shall consult BWP for approved location and obtain a service confirmation prior to any installations.
38. All new metered services require a path for meter communications to BWP communication networks. Installation of meters that fail to continuously communicate with BWP communication networks will require additional BWP approved equipment to be installed at the developer’s expense in order to create the appropriate communications path.
Street Lighting
39. The developer is responsible for the street lighting system traversing the project. The street light system is required to be underground fed with LED luminaires. If existing lighting conditions do not satisfy this requirement, modification will have to be made at the developer’s expense. Standards and luminaries will be supplied by BWP at the developer’s expense. A plot plan of the site must be submitted to BWP during the initial planning stage of the project for street light design.
40. Any construction that impacts existing streetlight standards or infrastructure will require relocation at the developer’s cost.
Fiber/Communication
41. Burbank Water and Power offers high -speed, high -quality fiber optics -based services through its ONE Burbank program. Fiber service is available to the project if desired. For further information, email [email protected] or call (818) 238-3113.
