ORDINANCE NO. 1603
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AMENDING THE CITY ZONING CODE TO REVISE THE STANDARDS FOR THE
R4 DISTRICTS TO BETTER IMPLEMENT DESIGN REVIEW AND MAKE
CONFORMING CHANGES IN THE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS AND SPECIAL PERMITS
The City Council of the City of Burlingame does ordain as follows:
Section 1. On Apri120, 1998, the City Council adopted an interim ordinance to
implement a design review process for construction of or additions to any second or taller story
in any R-1 District in the City. The Council also adopted design guidelines to be used in this
review. The design review process has now been used for six months and has assisted the
community by requiring basic consistency within the design of the structure and with the
surrounding neighborhood for these types of projects.
B. The City of Burlingame's single-family neighborhoods consist of a variety of modest
homes harkening back to bungalow, mediterranean, and California architectural styles. The
Planning Commission is also refining the design guidelines that were adopted earlier in 1998.
C. The amendments contained in this ordinance are intended to allow more design styles
and to encourage retention of the elements that set Burlingame apart
. These 3 elements of
review, guidelines, and ordinance requirements will promote the integrity of the City's single-
family neighborhoods that makes the City a special place to live.
Section 2. Chapter 25.28 is amended to read as follows:
