RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME FINDING THAT
THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO
CHAPTER 25.63 OF THE BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE TO COMPLY WITH STATE
LAW REQUIRING INCENTIVES OR CONCESSIONS FOR QUALIFYING DEVELOPMENTS
WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 6 OF THE CEQA
GUIDELINES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME hereby finds as follows:
Section 1. The Ordinance revises the requirements for granting a residential density
bonus to comply with revisions to State law enacted by the Legislature through the adoption of
Senate Bill 1818. Adoption of the draft density bonus codifies allowances that developers have
been able to use in housing developments since 2003. Further, the revisions modify the criteria
and incentives offered to qualifying developments but do not authorize construction not already
permitted under the City's existing codes. Also, it is uncertain how many project applicants will
seek to utilize the provisions of State law and this Ordinance and where such projects might be
located in the City. Further, each individual project will be subject to its own environmental
review. Consequently, this ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California
Code of Regulations since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the adoption
and implementation of this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
