SUBJECT: Serramonte KIA – Amended Conditional Use Permit and Design Review
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt:
RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMEDENED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND GRANTING
AN EXCEPTION TO THE SPANISH MEDITERRANEAN DESIGN REVIEW OVERLAY TO
ALLOW FOR AN AUTO DEALERSHIP EXPANSION TO ADD A NEW SERVICE CENTER TO
AN EXISTING AUTO DEALERSHIP IN WITH A MODERN DESIGN ARCHITECTURE LOCATED AT 600 SERRAMONTE BOULEVARD - APN: 008-392-140.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing to expand an existing auto dealership by adding a new service center at 600 Serramonte Boulevard . The proposed project will include a new service building and northeasterly expansion of the existing showroom to include a building canopy for service write ups for the service center. The use is appropriate for the commercial location and complies with the Town’s Zoning and General Plan policies. Conditions of approval are recommended to address parking, noise, and air quality to ensure the business will not impact uses in the neighborhood , thereby ensuring the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.
FISCAL IMPACT
By approving this project, the Town will benefit from its budget (in the form of increased sales tax revenue from sales of auto parts).
BACKGROUND
The project site is located along Serramonte Boulevard which has a General Plan land use designation of Commercial and is zoned Commercial (“C”) within DR(S) Design Review Spanish Mediterranean Overlay Zone. Exterior modifications include the service center with a second floor for parts storage and a new service canopy. The proposal includes a new service building that Item #5
Staff Report - Amended Conditional Use Permit 600 Serramonte Page 2 of 8 comprises 14 service bays, bathrooms, employee areas, and retail parts office. To provide space for the proposed service center, grading excavation will be done on the rear of the property (northwest). The major part of the grading operation will be the excavation effort, approximately 1,810 cubic yards of soil will be disturbed of which 1,044 cubic yards will be off- hauled off site. with the remainder of the soil being used on site.
The calculation of the proposed project is below:
Area (square feet)
Total Lot Size 70,800 sq. ft. (1.625 acres)
Proposed New Lot Coverage 13,692.2 sq. ft.
Proposed Total Lot Coverage Percentage 13,692.2/70,800 = 19.3%
Proposed Use (Second Floor) Area (square feet)
Parts Storage 1,762.2 sq. ft.
Proposed Second Floor Total 1,762.2 sq. ft.
Proposed Canopy 1,276.2 sq. ft.
Proposed New Lot Coverage Area (square feet)
Ground Floor Total 6,785.7 sq. ft.
Canopy Total 1,276.6 sq. ft.
Total 8,062.3 sq. ft.
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Calculation Area (square feet)
Proposed Gross Floor Area 13,692.2 + 1,762.2 = 15,454.4 Proposed New FAR Percentage 15,454.4/70,800 = 21.8%
Staff Report - Amended Conditional Use Permit 600 Serramonte Page 3 of 8
The existing building is a one-story 5,630 square foot auto dealership, with a height of 24 ft. The previous use, before the Kia dealership, was also an auto dealership. In November 1982, City Council approved Resolution No. 610 granting a conditional use permit for an auto sales office.
In October 1996, City Council approved Resolution No. 96- 62 granting an amended conditional use permit to construct a new permanent build ing containing offices and a showroom for sales of new and used motor vehicles. Resolution No. 96 -62 superseded Resolution No. 610. The existing building supports auto sales including a showroom and sales offices. Currently, there are one hundred thirty-seven (137) parking spaces onsite, two (2) ADA spaces , and two (2) EV chargers. The addition of the service center will include a net loss of fifteen (15) parking spaces, the majority located in the rear portion of the exiting lot; however, one (1) ADA space will be added in the front of the building.
The existing dealership is a portion of a larger parcel owned by Greek Orthodox Memorial Park located on the north. A lease agreement was entered into with the property owner in November 2021, which allows for the lease of the land currently used for an auto dealership including the option to add an additional 5,000 square feet of land to construct a service center. This lease agreement is on file with the Town’s Planning Department.
Surrounding uses include cemetery use (Greek Orthodox) to the north, public use (Town Hall) and residential (Creekside Villas) to the east, commercial uses to the south (Kohl’s), and west (Golden State Infiniti).
ANALYSIS
The applicant, Matthew Zaheri (who is the owner of the Kia dealership, but also the owner of Subaru and Volkswagen dealerships on Serramonte Blvd.), is requesting a n amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and is seeking design review approval to allow for the construction of a new service center at 600 Serramonte Boulevard.
The existing auto dealership is a one -story, 5,630 square foot building and 24’ in height. The proposed service center will be a two -story building with 8,547.9 square feet (ground floor and second floor for parts storage) and an additional 1,277 square foot canopy.
The proposed service center will operate Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1 :00 PM, and closed Sundays . The type of activities that may occur on -site include auto repair, auto service, and auto parts sales. There will be up to 22 employees working at any given shift in the new service center, in addition to the current auto sales activities.
To create enough space for the service center, approximately 1,810 cubic yards of material will be excavated from the northwest side of the existing lot , 1,044 cubic yards will be off -hauled, Proposed Total Lot Coverage Area (square feet)
Existing Lot Coverage 5,630 sq. ft.
Proposed New Lot Coverage 8,062.3 sq. ft.
Total 13,692.3 sq. ft.
Staff Report - Amended Conditional Use Permit 600 Serramonte Page 4 of 8 and the remainder used on site. To meet the requirements of the Municipal Regional Storm Water Permit (MRP) , stormwater run -off from the site would be redirected to a biotreatment and retention area located on the east side of the proposed service building.
Parking and Deliveries
Entry to the service center will be on Serramonte Boulevard, on the east side of the building. The proposed canopy on the east side of the existing building will be utilized for staging cars awaiting service.
Deliveries of cars and parts will also utilize the east side of the building. This would be made on- site and would require a vehicle carrier and employees to receive the delivery. The vehicles would enter the site through the main access at Serramonte Boulevard and load/unload vehicles in the designated carrier unloading area and exit back to Serramonte Boulevard.

Based on the findings above, this project is Categorically Exempt from further environmental review.
Findings Related to Granting an Amended Conditional Use Permit Section 5.03.410 of the Colma Municipal Code requires that certain findings be made for approval of a Conditional Use Permit. These findings are also required for an amended Conditional Use Permit. These findings apply to the project as follows:
a) The proposed Conditional Use Permit will be consistent with the provisions of the Colma General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The use is consistent with the Colma General Plan vision for Serramonte Boulevard as described on pages LU 4, 25, and 26 of the 2040 General Plan. Specifically, the parcel where this business will operate is designated on the land use map for commercial use. Within the General Plan text, a list of appropriate retail and service uses are listed to serve the community. Auto-related use is listed as acceptable in the commercial land use category.
The Colma Commercial Zoning code is specifically broad to encourage a wide range of commercial uses such as the proposed use. Thus, the proposed use is also consistent with the Town’s Zoning provisions.
b) Granting the Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or public welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
1 Colma is part of the San Francisco-Oakland urbanized are as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau
Staff Report - Amended Conditional Use Permit 600 Serramonte Page 6 of 8 This project will not create a significant impact on the surrounding area. Existing businesses and uses on this corridor are mostly auto dealerships (Golden Gate State Infiniti, Golden State Nissan, Serramonte Subaru , and Serramonte Volkswagen ), commercial (Kohl’s), cemetery ( Greek Orthodox), public (Colma Town Hall), and residential (Creekside Villas) . From a January 2020 report, Serramonte Boulevard and Collins Avenue Master Plan , states, “Both Serramonte Boulevard and Collins Avenue were found to have excess vehicular roadway capacity, meaning the width (in the case of Collins Avenue) or number (in the case of Serramonte Boulevard between Junipero Serra Boulevard and El Camino Real) of travel lanes in each case could be reduced without significant impacts to vehicle travel times.” Based on the previous statement, Serramonte Boulevard should support the project without causing significant traffic to the surrounding area.
Staff finds that the lot size and location are sufficient for the proposed use. To further mitigate any potential traffic impacts related to the project, a traffic control plan shall be submitted prior to any issuance of a building permit.
During construction, project traffic will include the use of heavy equipment for site improvements.
Construction will require grading, concrete pouring, and materials delivery. The project will off- haul 1,044 cubic yards of material resulting in 52 trips in a 20 cubic yard container. To help mitigate construction-related impacts, as a condition of this use permit, per Colma Municipal Code
5.04.220(c), Standard Hours of Construction, within a radius of 500 feet of any residential unit, construction-related work including truck hauling is limited to Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM . Furthermore, using the Town -adopted Best Management Practices (BMPs), dust control and stormwater pollution prevention will be implemented as a condition of the amended use permit. c) Existing property uses, large or small, will not be detrimentally affected by the proposed Use Permit.
The existing lot includes an auto dealership. Surrounding uses include auto dealerships, cemetery, commercial retail, a public building, and a residential community. As a condition of the use permit, auto-related service activity will be contained within a fully enclosed building except for auto sales and auto inventory. This condition will help mitigate any noise impacts to the neighb oring Creekside Villas residences. The proposed use is found along Serramonte Boulevard and will not impact other automobile dealership, cemetery, retail, and public negatively. d) The granting of the Use Permit will not constitute a grant of special privil ege inconsistent with the limitations imposed by the Zoning Ordinance on the existing use of properties, large or small, within the Town of Colma The Amended Conditional Use Permit will not constitute the grant of a special privilege since, as noted above, the proposed us e is consistent with the existing Conditional Use Permit in the Commercial zone. The proposed use is an automobile service center located within an existing auto dealership lot. The proposed service center will be compatible with other uses in the surrounding area. In addition, similar uses are allowed on other parcels within the same Commercial zone illustrating that this is not a special privilege being granted, but is instead, consistent with other uses in the same zone.
e) The City Council is satisfied that the proposed structure or building conforms to the purpose and intent of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Staff Report - Amended Conditional Use Permit 600 Serramonte Page 7 of 8 The proposed project is located on a lot zoned C for commercial use and complies with all applicable regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, including setbacks, height, and sign requirements.
In addition, the proposed use is allowed in the C zone. The lot is located within the Town’s auto row on Serramonte Boulevard and compliments nearby existing land uses. Therefore, the proposed project conforms to the purpose and intent of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. f) The use will not constitute a nuisance to neighboring persons or properties.
The proposed project meets all the standards identified in the Zoning Ordinance and the project site is in a commercial zone. Neighboring properties include additional automotive dealerships , retail uses, public, and residential community. The conditions of the Use Permit will ensure that all activities related to the uses will n ot negatively impact adjoining uses . To mitigate noise nuisances associated with the project, as a condition of this use permit, per Colma Municipal Code
5.04.220(c), Standard Hours of Construction, within a radius of 500 feet of any residential unit, construction related work including truck hauling is limited to Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
Findings Related to Design Review
The project site is in the DR( S) Spanish Mediterr anean Overlay Zone which all plans for development in the portion of the DR zone which are designated with and “(S)” shall incorporate building, site and landscape design elements representing the Spanish/Mediterranean style .
However, under Colma Municipal Code 5.03.300 (a)(1) states:
“5.03.300 Restrictions and Procedures Applicable to the "DR" Design Review Zone. (a) Applicability. The requirements of this section shall apply to all site, landscape and building plans, whether submitted in connection with the construction of a new building or an alteration or modification to the structure or façade of an existing building, within the area described in Section 5.03.040(d) with the following exceptions:
(1) An addition or modification to an existing building where the addition or modification, if it were to conform to the DR standards, would clash with the building’s established architectural theme.”
The existing building consists of modern architectural theme. By requiring the proposed service center to comply with Spanish Mediterranean architecture, staff finds that there would be a clash with the established architectural theme. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council grant a exception to allow for a modern design architecture.
In this project, there is no proposed landscaping, as the majority of the work will be located in the rear and side of the building. The trash enclosure will be consistent with the materials used on the existing and proposed building. The utility room will be enclosed and located on the west side of the building.
COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The recommendation is consistent with the Council values of fairness because the recommended decisions are consistent with how similar requests have been handled, and with the council value of
responsibility because the proposed use has been carefully reviewed and conditioned so that
Staff Report - Amended Conditional Use Permit 600 Serramonte Page 8 of 8 it will be consistent with adopted development policies and regulations, and compatible within its setting.
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT
The project will have a slight sustainability improvement to the site. The stormwater management strategy for the site will consist of bioretention areas along the front and rear of the property, which will meet the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP) standards and improve water quality leaving the site. The stormwater improvements will also allow for infiltration reduce the existing quantity of water entering the storm drain system.
ALTERNATIVES
The following courses of action are available to the City Council:
1. Adopt the resolution and approve the Amended Conditional Use Permit granting a Design Review exception with modified or additional conditions of approval. This alternative may increase or reduce restrictions on the Conditional Use Permit to satisfy specific community concerns.
2. Direct staff to bring back a resolution to deny the Amended Conditional Use Permit and Design Review. If this alternative is selected, staff recommends that the City Council articulate concerns and the reasons for selecting this alternative.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the Amended Conditional Use Permit and granting a Design Review subject to the findings and recommended conditions of approval.

The creek area will not be disturbed or altered as part of the project.
Pursuant to Section 15303 of the State of California CEQA Guideline Class 3(c), New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures – the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from further environmental review per the findings below.
Section 15303 Class 3(c), consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures.
(c) A store, motel, office, restaurant, or similar struc ture not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances, and not exceeding 2500 square feet in floor area. In urbanized areas, the exemption also applies to up to four such commercial building not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor are a on sites zones for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive.

Colma Creek is channelized on the right side of the site and does not provide a habitat for endangered species.
Based on the findings above this project is Categorically Exempt from further environmental review.
Findings Relating to Granting an Amended Conditional Use Permit Section 5.03.410(a) of the Colma Municipal Code requires that certain findings be made for approval of a Conditional Use Permit . These findings are als o required for an amended Conditional Use Permit. These findings apply to the project as follows:
(a) The proposed Conditional Use Permit will be consistent with the provisions of the Colma General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The use is consistent with Colma General Plan vision for Serramonte Boulevard as described on pages LU 4, 25, and 26 of the 2040 General Plan. Specifically, the parcels where this business will operate are designated on the land use map for commercial use . Within the General Plan text, a list of appropriate retail and service uses are listed to serve the community. Auto -related use is listed as acceptable in the commercial land use category.
The Colma Zoning Code Commercial Zoning is specifically broad to encourage a wide range of commercial uses such as the proposed use. Thus, the proposed use is also consistent with the Town’s Zoning provisions.
(b) Granting the Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or public welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
This project will not create a significant impact on the surrounding area. Existing bus inesses and uses on this corridor are mostly auto dealerships (Golden Gate State Infiniti, Golden State Nissan, Serramonte Subaru, and Serramonte Volkswagen), commercial (Kohl’s), cemetery (Greek Orthodox), public (Colma Town Hall), and residential (Creeks ide Villas). From a January 2020 report, Serramonte Boulevard and Collins Avenue Master Plan, states, “Both Serramonte Boulevard and Collins Avenue were found to have excess vehicular roadway capacity, meaning the width (in the case of Collins Avenue) or number (in the case of Serramonte Boulevard between Junipero Serra Boulevard and El Camino Real) of travel lanes in each case could be reduced without significant impacts to vehicle travel times.” Based on the previous statement, Serramonte Boulevard shoul d support the project without causing significant traffic to the surrounding area. Staff finds that the lot size and location are sufficient for the proposed use. To further mitigate any potential traffic impacts related to the project, a traffic control plan shall be submitted prior to any issuance of a building permit.
During construction, project traffic will include the use of heavy equipment for site improvements.
Construction will require grading, concrete pouring, and materials delivery. The project will off-haul 1,044 cubic yards of material resulting in 52 trips in a 20 cubic yard c ontainer. To help mitigate construction-related impacts, as a condition of this use permit, per Colma Municipal Code
5.04.220(c), Standard Hours of Construction, wit hin a radius of 500 feet of any residential unit, construction-related work including truck hauling is limited to Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to Res. 2022-__, 600 Serramonte Boulevard – Amended Conditional Use Permit Page 4 of 17 7:00 PM, Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Furthermore, using the Town -adopted Best Management Practices (BMPs), dust control and stormwater pollution prevention will be implemented as a condition of the amended use permit. (c) Existing property uses, large or small, will not be detrimentally affected by the proposed use.
The existing lot includes an auto dealership. Surrounding uses include auto dealerships, cemetery, commercial retail, a public building, and a residential community. As a condition of the use permit, auto-related service activity will be contained within a fully enclosed building except for auto sales and auto inventory. This condition will help mitigate any noise impacts to the neighboring Creekside Villas residences. The proposed use is found along Serramonte Boulevard and will not impact other automobile dealership, cemetery, retail, and public negatively. (d) The granting of the Use Permit will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations imposed by t he Zoning Ordinance on the existing use of properties, large or small, within the Town of Colma.
The Amended Conditional Use Permit will not constitute the grant of a special privilege since, as noted above, the proposed use is consistent with the existing Conditional Use Permit in the Commercial zone. The proposed use is a service center related to automobile located within an existing auto dealership lot. The proposed service center will be compatible with other uses in the surrounding area. In addition, similar uses are allowed on other parcels within the same Commercial zone illustrating that this is not a special privilege being granted, but is instead, consistent with other uses in the same zone.
(e) The City Council is satisfied that the proposed use conforms to the purpose and intent of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed project is located on a lot zoned C for commercial use and complies with all applicable regulations of the Zoning Ordi nance, including setbacks, lot coverage, height, and sign requirements. In addition, the proposed use is allowed in the C zone. The lot is located within the Town’s auto row on Serramonte Boulevard and compliments nearby existing land uses. Therefore, the proposed project conforms to the purpose and intent of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
(f) The use will not constitute a nuisance to neighboring persons or properties.
The proposed project meets all the standards identified in the Zoning Ordinance and the project site is in a commercial zone. Neighboring properties include addi tional automotive dealerships, retail uses, public, and residential community. The conditions of the Use Permit will ensure that all activities related to the uses will not negatively impact adjoining uses. To mitigate noise nuisances associated with the project, as a condition of this use permit, per Colma Municipal Code 5.04.220(c),
Standard Hours of Construction, within a radius of 500 feet of any residential unit, construction related work including truck hauling is limited to Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM .
Findings Related to Design Review
The project site is in the DR(S) Design Review Spanish Mediterranean Overlay Zone which all Res. 2022-__, 600 Serramonte Boulevard – Amended Conditional Use Permit Page 5 of 17 plans for development in the portion of the DR zone that are designated with and “(S)” shall incorporate building, site and landscape design elements representing the Spanish/Mediterranean style.
However, Colma Municipal Code Section 5.03.300 (a)(1) states:
“5.03.300 Restrictions and Procedures Applicable to the "DR" Design Review Zone. (a) Applicability. The requirements of this section shall apply to all site, landscape and building plans, whether submitted in connection with the construction of a new building or an alteration or modification to the structure or façade of an existing building, within the area described in Section 5.03.040(d) with the following exceptions:
(1) An addition or modification to an existing building where the addition or modification, if it were to conform to the DR standards, w ould clash with the building’s established architectural theme.”
The existing building consists of modern architectural design, and the proposed addition carries the same architectural design theme. By requiring the proposed service center to comply with Spanish Mediterranean architecture, staff finds that there would be a clash wi th the established architectural theme. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council grant an exception for the project to a modern design architecture.
In this project, there is no proposed landscaping, as the majority of the work will be located in the rear and side of the building. The trash enclosure will be consistent with the materials used on the existing and proposed building. The utility room will be enclosed an d located on the west side of the building.

Hi Alvin: Upon further review, our senior engineer would like more information regarding the proposed retaining wall. Please have the project sponsor or contractor contact Stacie Feng, Senior Engineer, at [email protected] or (650) 871-2037. She has asked our surveyors to mark the SFPUC pipelines adjacent to the project.
The current plan doesn’t show how the retaining wall will be built. Please have the project sponsor or contractor provide the shoring plan for the retaining wall construction. Ms. Feng will want to make sure that if soil nailing is employed, the construction will take place within the subject property and will not extend beyond the property line and/or under the SFPUC’s pipeline.
Thanks very much.

Hello Alvin: I’m writing to request more information about the proposed auto dealership expansion to add a new service center at 600 Serramonte Boulevard in Colma. I checked the Town of Colma Planning Department website and did not see this proposal under “Current Projects”.
The SFPUC has three water transmission pipelines on the east side of the subject property. I am interested in knowing the location of any proposed construction work to evaluate whether or not these
pipelines might be impacted. Please send the proposed plans to me via email (or send me a link when the plans have been posted on your website).
Thank you very much.
