M/S/C: Wettan/Londer; 4/0/0
5. PUBLIC COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA
Manito Velasco inquired about the visibility concerns he mentioned at the January TSPC
meeting regarding the intersection of Mills Avenue and Highway Road. He felt visibility
continues to be a problem due to vehicles parking in close proximity to the corner and urged
staff to review the location. Mr. Velasco mentioned visibility concerns at Highway Road and
Oxford Road too. He stated the new crosswalk is great but the approach is typically blocked
by a large vehicle. Lastly, Mr. Velasco said while traveling on Broadway towards the overpass,
the number three lane directs drivers into the bike line as you drive at an incline toward the
on-ramp. He requested staff find a better way to guide drivers and bicyclists.
6. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
Chair Martos asked and received consensus from the Commission to move item 6b forward
2
on the agenda as the first item of discussion. The subsequent discussion items resumed in
the order shown on the meeting agenda.
b) Downtown Parking
Mr. Wong provided a presentation to the Commission regarding downtown parking and
touched on the goals of this discussion, current downtown parking conditions, and the
subcommittee’s downtown parking proposal. He explained the goal is to keep the parking
conversions even between long-term and short-term spaces and provided the following
proposal:
Convert the 91 long-term spaces to short-term spaces at the following locations:
• Lot A-3: (north side of Donnelly Avenue)
• Lot C: (south of Donnelly Avenue, behind Gap, Copenhagen, etc.)
• Lot W: (north of Howard Avenue, behind Vinyl Room, Rasa, etc.)
To balance the shift of long-term to short-term spaces, the committee would also convert
over 85 short-term space at the following locations into long-term spaces:
• Lot B-1: (south of Chapin Avenue, near Fidelity)
• Lot K-1: (north of Burlingame Avenue, adjacent to AT&T building)
• Lot O: (east of California Drive, near Royal Donut)
• Chapin Avenue: (west of Primrose Road, closer to Main Library)
• West Lane: (east of California Drive, near Caltrain Station, Honda Dealership lot)
• South Lane: (east of California Drive, near Caltrain Station, Honda Dealership lot)
• Howard Avenue: (west of California Drive, near Tomokazu, Coconut Bay, etc.)
Mr. Wong indicated he also spoke with Parking Enforcement regarding the proposal. He
said Parking Enforcement staff felt the conversion could be accomplished quickly and
efficiently, but they expressed concerns with queuing and enforcement in Parking Lot W.
Commissioner Wettan asked about the cost of a parking meter and suggested new meters
might be an idea to mitigate Parking Enforcement’s concerns related to Lot W. Mr. Wong
indicated he would find out and get back to the Commission.
Chair Martos opened public comment.
Eddie Sohirad, owner of the olive oil store, stated parking has been an ongoing issue for
Burlingame retailers. He also indicated he is affiliated with Citifyd, an app designed to
assist drivers find and purchase parking, and encouraged the use of it.
The owner of a hair salon on Donnelly Avenue expressed her concerns about the lack of
long-term parking for employees as most parking spots are taken by 8:30 a.m. She felt
3
this was a deterrent for prospective part-time employees and a disruption to business. In
closing, she requested not to reduce any of the long-term parking spaces in Parking Lot
A-3.
Commissioner Londer requested the lots be better identified (2-hour, 10-hour, etc.) and
suggested color coding long and short-term spaces.
The Commissioner’s engaged in a short discussion regarding the conversion of long-term
and short-term spaces and crafted the following motion.
Motion: To recommend the staff ’s proposal for reallocation of spaces in the downtown
subject to the suggestion that we take three more long-term spaces on
Chapin, toward the middle of the street, as well as one more in K-1, one more
in Lot O, and one more in the area of Howard and California Drive to even
the conversion to 91 for 91.
M/S/C: Wettan/Londer; 4/0/0
a) Parking Restrictions for Burlingame Avenue (ECR to California Drive), and the 1100
blocks of Chula Vista Avenue, Laguna Avenue, Paloma Avenue, and Capuchino Avenue
Mr. Wong provided a presentation to the Commission regarding a proposal to amend the
Burlingame Municipal Code (BMC), Chapter 13.52.020, to include parking restrictions
along Burlingame Avenue (ECR to California Drive), the 1100 blocks of Chula Vista
Avenue, Laguna Avenue, Paloma Avenue, and Capuchino Avenue from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00
a.m. various days of the week. He explained that the parking restrictions would allow for
adequate street sweeping.
Chair Martos suggested Mr. Wong check with the City Attorney on the wording in the BMC
for the parking restriction specifically for Carmelita Avenue. He then opened public
comment prior to moving forward with a motion.
Manito Velasco, a resident on the 1200 block of Capuchino Avenue, inquired about the
process to include street sweeping on his block. Mr. Wong indicated he would get back to
him with the information. He also pointed out some discrepancies in items 6 and 10 of the
proposal related to parking restrictions on California Drive and Chula Vista Avenue. Mr.
Wong indicated he would review the language and make the appropriate edits.
Motion: To accept the recommendations of staff for the parking restrictions on the
various streets indicated, with the caveat that the language is cleaned up,
and also take a look at item number 6, California Drive, as suggested by Mr.
Velasco and also make sure it’s in line with the City Attorney’s blessing and
then recommend this to City Council.
M/S/C: Londer/Wettan; 4/0/0

c) Parking Capacity for Proposed Parking Garage on Lot N
Mr. Wong provided a presentation regarding the proposed parking garage on Lot N, with

following information regarding the number of proposed parking spaces based on each
level of the proposed parking garage.

b) Police Department Reports
Corporal Orloff provided an update regarding traffic collisions. He indicated there were18
documented collisions, which is a decrease from last month. Of the 18 collisions, Corporal
Orloff stated four were minor injury accidents; there were no major injury accidents or
fatalities. Corporal Orloff explained two of the collisions were due to driving under the
influence, but no injuries resulted from the DUI’s. He also pointed out 2 of the 18 collisions
occurred at 1255 California Drive. Corporal Orloff indicated the collisions at 1255
California Drive were due to vehicles backing out of the driveway into southbound traffic,
which resulted in one felony hit and run.
c) Farmers Market

Market. He stated the next opportunity to participate in the Farmer’s Market is March 18.

stated he would send a reminder to his fellow Commissioners the Thursday prior to
confirm participation.
d) TSPC Chair/Commissioner’s Communications
Chair Martos stated he provided a presentation to City Council of the TSPC priorities and
received the following feedback:
• Councilmember Ortiz indicated the number one complaint he receives is
downtown parking.
• Councilmember Ortiz said he rode Lime Bike and loved it but does not want to
lose sight of bicycle safety and infrastructure.
• Councilmember Keighran stated at one time there were east/west shuttles; she
would like to see shuttles higher on the priority list.
• Mayor Brownrigg requested a one sentence description for each priority so they
know exactly what each entails.
• Council requested TSPC discuss the parking structure and number of
recommended levels.
• Mayor Brownrigg indicated he wants to work with staff to hold a town hall meeting
for the residents in the Lyon Hoag area regarding topics such as residential
parking permits, traffic calming and the Peninsula Avenue overpass.
Chair Martos indicated he will meet with Mayor Brownrigg tomorrow as part of their
quarterly meetings to discuss the proposed town hall meeting and provide the Mayor with
an update regarding the Commission’s discussion pertaining to downtown parking and
proposed parking structure.
Commissioner Wettan provided clarification as he felt the Mayor wanted TSPC to craft
their priorities as goals. He also stated that Councilmember Beach expressed a desire
for TSPC to be less involved in the “how” and more involved in the overall vision and
master plan.
Commissioner Londer noted that B/PAC is not listed as an agenda item as originally
discussed and requested that it be added back on the agenda so the Commission may
engage in discussion(s), if necessary. As a result, Chair Martos requested Mr. Wong
speak to the City Attorney about B/PAC being a regular agenda item even if there is no
specific topic listed on the agenda. He also suggested adding the B/PAC subcommittee
to the agenda in order to receive updates from the subcommittee members.
Commissioner Wettan suggested to attach the B/PAC agenda to the TSPC agenda
packet to avoid any Brown Act concerns and pointed out an update from B/PAC under
public comment does not allow for discussion—it is one way. He also requested the
B/PAC subcommittee be added back as a standing agenda item. Mr. Wong confirmed he
would discuss the suggestion to add the B/PAC agenda to the TSPC agenda packet with
8
the City Attorney.
8. COMMISSION & COMMITTEE REPORTS
a) Downtown Parking (Martos & Wettan)
No update; discussed in item 6a. However, Commissioner Wettan wanted to note that
they have accomplished a great deal but felt the big outstanding item was coming up with
a creative plan (especially for Thursday’s and Friday’s) related to employee parking.
b) Broadway Parking (Bush & Wettan)
No subcommittee update.
Commissioner Israelit inquired about a law or regulation regarding vehicles that are legally
parked but protrude into traffic, citing the angled parking on Broadway as an example. She
stated larger vehicles extend beyond the parking stall, making it difficult for two cars to
travel down the thoroughfare. Corporal Orloff was unsure of the exact code but was
confident there is an applicable section in the California Vehicle Code. Mr. Wong indicated
he would look into it and also explained an adjustment to the angled parking spots would
result in a loss of parking stalls.
c) School Speed Limits (Israelit & Londer)
Commissioner Londer indicated there is no update regarding the concerns surrounding
student drop-off at Washington Elementary School on Anita Road that was shared last
month by Vice-Chair Bush. Chair Martos mentioned the successful implementation of
school speed limit reductions (15 MPH) on Quesada Way, Cabrillo Avenue and Cortez
Avenue and suggested Anita Road may be another good candidate. Commissioner Israelit
suggested proactive reoccurring meetings with school principals. Commissioner Wettan
suggested they invite the appropriate School District representative(s) to a TSPC meeting
as he felt it may be difficult to schedule meetings with the various principals. He also
suggested identifying a central School District employee such as Rusty, who currently sits
on the B/PAC. Commissioner Londer agreed to reach out to Rusty as a first step.
9. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
• B/PAC Bike and Ped Master Plan
• Safe Routes to School (McKinley School)
• Public Shuttles (east/west route)
• Possible joint TSPC and B/PAC working session

AGENDA ITEM NO:
6.b – Lot N Parking
Structure Size
MEETING DATE:
April 12, 2018
To: Honorable Mayor, City Council and Planning Commission
Date: April 12, 2018
From: Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission
Subject: Item 6.b - Lot N Parking Structure Size
RECOMMENDATION
The Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) recommends the construction of a 5-story
parking structure on Lot N as part of the Village at Burlingame project.
BACKGROUND
In Item 6.c. of the March 8 TSPC meeting, the topic of parking capacity for the proposed garage
on Lot N was discussed. The discussion was led by the Downtown Parking subcommittee
members, Howard Wettan and John Martos. The commission was asked to consider whether 3,
4, 5 stories is appropriate and provide a justification.
The following is the conclusion of their discussion which passed with a vote of 4-0-0.
DISCUSSION
The TSPC commission considers three pieces of information to draw their conclusion for the right
size of the potential structure. They were
1. Increase in downtown parking from Monday thru Friday based on the data taken in 2017
2. Consider a higher parking demand with the redevelopment of the Howard Ave area
3. Potential conversion of a downtown core surface lot to public open space if the demand
for parking decreases in the future
For Item 1, the TSPC parking data showed an increase in parked cars of approximately 175 in
the downtown lots on Friday as opposed to Monday. The rule of thumb is to reserve 15% of the
maximum parking spaces for high volume times. Thus, adding 15% to the current capacity on
Lots F & N led the commissioners to conclusion of a 5-story parking structure on Lot N. With the
5-story parking garage there will be a total of 388 spaces, an increase of 160 spaces over the
existing spaces in Lots F and N (205 spaces). The construction of the first three floors (ground
floor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor) will yield 228 spaces.
Lot N Parking Structure Size April 12, 2018

For Item 2, the commissioners felt that additional parking would be required south of as Howard
Ave as this area is redeveloped in the future.
For Item 3, the Commissioners considered the possibility that changes in technology and driving
habits could reduce the demand for parking in the future, such as ten years from now. They
concluded that, if this were to occur, the building of the garage to five stories and addition of
spaces could create an opportunity to reclaim space in the center of town (Lots E and J) more
quickly to use for public space.

process on the ground to ensure our pickups are within 2 hours from
receiving the dispatch. With these changes, our current response time is back
to our agreed-upon time.
