ORDINANCE NO. 1628
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME AMENDING THE
BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE TO CREATE AN OVERLAY DISTRICT
BETWEEN TOYON DRIVE AND BLOOMFIELD ROAD IN THE ROLLINS ROAD
MULTIPLE FAMILY SUBZONE
The CITY COUNCIL ofthe CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. The area along Rollins Road between Toyon Drive and Burlingame Avenue
is a transition zone between the Bayshore Freeway and single-family residential areas behind the
properties along Rollins Road. The City adopted an overlay subzone for the area between
Bloomfield Road and Burlingame Avenue in 1985 that strengthened setback and height limits
to provide a better buffer and transition to the single-family neighborhood behind it.
This ordinance builds on that concept for the area along Rollins Road between
Bloomfield Road and Toyon Drive. While multi -family housing is a desirable and existing use
in this area, the area must also not unduly intrude into the adjacent single-family neighborhood.
This can be done by transition in heights, encouraging garden complex styling, discouragement
ofbalconies facing the single-family homes, and reducing density to better accommodate on-site
parking. In order to provide a more livable property for the future residents of the area, interior
courtyards should be encouraged. In addition, this ordinance is intended to encourage lot
combinations by providing density bonuses and open space arrangements for larger lots. These
larger, broader developments can also serve to buffer the noise fr
om the nearby freeway.
Section 2. The title of Section 25.32.095 is amended to read as follows:
25.32.095 Rollins Road multiple family subzone — Bloomfield Road to Burlingame Avenue
Section 3. Anew Section 25.32.097
is added
to the Code to read as follows:
25.32.097 Rollins
Road multiple
family subzone —
Toyon Drive to Bloomfield Road
In order to create a more livable environment for reuse and new development and an
appropriate transition between the existing freeway and intercommunity arterial for the
