Commissioner Louder mentioned the Safe Streets Program of San Mateo County,
which would be allocating $1.4 million for three years. He said that the program
would pertain to safe biking and pedestrians.
Mr. Chou stated that there were three sources of funding being considered from
the State but most are Federal. The third program is Safe Routes to School. He
said that funds were being allocated on a short timeline for "shovel ready"
projects.
Commissioner Louder again raised the concern of drivers using cell phones while
driving.
Commissioner Serrato suggested that we use electronic signage that alerts
dI ivers that "Burlingame enforces the no cell phone while driving law".
9. COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Chou reported that he was informed by the Planning staff that Mercy High
School had plans to expand their student body and was applying for a permit. He
said that the Planning Commission was asking the TSPC look at the parking
situation on the surrounding city streets. Mr. Chou stated that this item would be a
future agenda item; and, that he would provide a staff report so that the
Commission would be able to make their recommendations to the Planning
Commission.

12.ADJOURNMENT 8:36 p.m.
TO: Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission
DATE: March 4, 2010
FROM: Augustine Chou, Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT: Item 7.1 — Mercy High School: Alvarado Traffic
Meeting
Date: March 11, 2010
RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission conduct the following:
Evaluate the traffic conditions, especially along Alvarado Avenue, and review actions already
taken by Mercy High School to address residential concerns.
® Receive public and neighborhood comments on the traffic conditions on Alvarado and Adeline.
® Determine other possible mitigating actions not already taken to address residential concerns.
® Return a recommendation to the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND: On January 11, 2010, the Mercy High School administration went before the
Burlingame Planning Commission with an application to amend the school's Conditional Use Permit to
allow construction of one single -story addition to the existing physical education building; and, more
specific to the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission, to increase the school's maximum enrollment
from 500 to 540 students and the addition of three additional staff.
A primary concern of both the Planning Commission and the surrounding neighbors was the current
traffic conditions on Alvarado Avenue, and to some extent Adeline Drive, and how an increase in
enrollment might exacerbate the existing conditions. To help alleviate those concerns, the school held a
neighborhood meeting on campus.
Ultimately, at the 1/11 meeting, the Planning Commission passed a motion to approve the Conditional
Use Permit to allow building construction work. A second motion was also passed to deny the request
to amend the Conditional Use Permit to increase the limit on student enrollment. In addition, the
Planning Commission also provided direction to the Mercy High School administration that if/when
another request for enrollment increase is presented before the city, that the Traffic Safety and Parking
Commission be involved in any public notice (particularly along the 1400 block of Alvarado Avenue).
DISCUSSION: The Mercy High School administration is planning to return to the Planning Commission
within the next few months for reconsideration of their request to increase student enrollment. In an
effort to fulfill the Planning Commission's requirement for review, Mercy High School has come before
the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission to gather additional comments and possible suggestions in
addressing residential concerns of school traffic, especially along Alvarado Avenue. Mercy High School
has also already made efforts on their own to alleviate some of the current traffic impacts by:
1. Requiring all students and faculty parking to be on-site only.
2. Implementing carpools and alternate forms of transportation.
3. Look into decreasing the number of student parking permits issued.

S:W Public Works Directory\TSP Commission\Staff Reports\2010\3-11-10 SR -7.1 Mercy Traffic.doc
In terms of site description, the Mercy High School site is located along the northwestern edge of
Adeline Drive. The main entrance is located at the intersection of Alvarado Avenue and Adeline Drive.
Students and faculty are required to use this as the primary entrance and exit to the school grounds.
Since this intersection serves as essentially the only point of ingress and egress, there has naturally
been problems that result from the heavy traffic congestion during the start and end of school.
The main objective of this meeting should be to gather up neighborhood concerns of traffic on city
streets and to determine if the current traffic control measures taken by the school are effective; and, if
other measures not yet implemented can be considered. Finally, the Planning Commission is requesting
that the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission return a recommendation and/or finding as a result of
this meeting on whether to proceed with their review process.

AGENDA
Meeting with City of Burlingame
Mercy High School Traffic and Parking
I. Actions to Reduce Traffic
® Incentives for student carpooling
Enrollment for this academic year totaled 497 students. Of those 60 students ride the
Burlingame City Shuttle, 16 ride the Mercy High School Shuttle from the train/Bart and 216
carpool. Thus, approximately 58% of students are not single drivers/trips. Mercy High School
("MHS") encourages students' parents to coordinate carpools at the commencement of each
academic year by providing neighborhood address lists. For student drivers, it is difficult to
carpool as DMV rules prohibit drivers under the age of 18 from transporting passengers under
the age of 20 (i.e. other students).
Although MHS would be willing to assign premium parking spaces to students who
carpool, given the DMV rule, it is unlikely that students drivers can carpool with other students.
MHS hasa service program and would be willing to assign "green points" to students who
participate in a carpool. These points go toward end of year awards for service. We anticipate
these measures will result in 1 or 2% more students carpooling.
® Incentives for faculty/staff to use non -auto travel to/from work
At the time the Fehr &Peers study was conducted in 2008, 4 or 5 faculty/staff used non -
auto travel methods. The school schedule makes it somewhat difficult for faculty/staff to use
non -auto travel. However, to encourage its use, MHS proposes to participate in the Peninsula
Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance's Commuter Benefit, which allows employees to use pre-tax
dollars for commute expenses. Flyer attached.
® Incentives for faculty/staff car pooling
It is somewhat difficult for faculty/staff to carpool due to varying schedules and home
locations. MHS is willing to assign premium parking spaces to those faculty who carpool. MHS
anticipates that this may result in one or two additional faculty/staff carpools.
11. Actions to Reduce Parking
® Decrease the amount of student driver permits
At the time the Fehr &Peers study was conducted in 2008, 99 student parking permits
were issued. This academic year, MHS issued only 92 permits.
® Assign parking spaces
Generally, MHS believes that the flow of traffic into the parking lot is more efficient if
spaces are not specifically assigned to students. However, MHS would be willing to consider
assigning spaces to individual permit holders and/or assigning priority spaces as discussed
above. Spaces are also assigned to faculty/staff.
I11. Actions to Reduce Neighborhood Tensions
® Courtesy
nnHS l� ��!illing to fiend ni it ni ia!-tPrjy ne\0./giettarc to the �ti irlent/parant rnrnmi inity to
remind them to drive safely and carefully and to the neighborhood to remind them that they can
and should contact Laura Held with any concerns or complaints about the traffic situation. As
now, if a neighbor is able to provide vehicle license, color, make and model information, Laura
will follow-up to determine if she can discover which student or parent may be responsible and
take appropriate action.

PROPERTY OWNER; AND DES ARCHITECTS, ARCHITECT) PROJECT PLANNER: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated January 11, 2010, with attachments. Community Development Director
Meeker presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Thirty-five (35) conditions were
suggested for consideration.
Commission comments:
■ Is there any requirement for replacement trees on the property?
■ With regards to Conditional Use Permits for schools, are there any specific caps for enrollment on
any of the other schools in Burlingame? (Meeker— don't know if that would be a good guide for this
particular request.)
■ Do we know if the school has exceeded the 500 student enrollment at this point?
Chair Terrones opened the public hearing.
Laura Held, Principal -Mercy High School, 2750 Adeline Drive; Jean Hastie, Campus Administrator- Sisters
of Mercy, 2300 Adeline Drive; Leigh Prince, attorney for Mercy High School, 1100 Alma Street, Menlo Park,
and Mark Hudak, attorney for Sisters of Mercy, 215 Park Road; represented the applicant and Sisters of
Mercy:
■ Have studied this proposal extensively to ensure that an amendment only needs to be requested
once.
■ The small parking and traffic increase is due to parents and faculty.
■ Have reached out to the neighborhood and have heard concerns regarding traffic impacts, will
continue to encourage safe driving and parking.
■ Have already made progress implementing several of the measures suggested by the traffic
analysis; carpooling and alternate forms of transportation are used.
■ May look at decreasing the number of student parking permits for the next year.
■ Have heard concerns regarding additional traffic and noise attributable to the additional bleacher
seats, do not anticipate additional persons at these events.
■ Sisters of Mercy support the requests for the changes by Mercy High School; do not believe that the
changes will affect the Sisters of Mercy or the Mercy Retreat Center.
■ Sisters of Mercy also accept the City's request to treat the site as one site.
■ The City has requested a formal covenant tying the properties together; this is being studied closely
by the Sisters' attorney. The covenant will be required before a building permit is issued.
■ Sisters of Mercy asks the Commission to approve the requests, subject to agreement on the form of
the covenant.
Commission comments:
■ Requested clarification of enrollment numbers. (Held -Current enrollment is 497 students. Last
year were over -enrolled at 510 students.)

■ The application materials have been reviewed by the Sisters of Mercy and they encourage approval.
■ Against the proposed amendment, the original Conditional Use Permit set forth the basis for all
other elements of the Conditional Use Permit; all items should be revisited as part of the permit.
■ From 7:45 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. and in the evening, vehicles are stacked 15 -cars deep on surrounding
streets. They don't obey traffic laws. Students park on the streets at all times.
■ A 5% increase of student enrollment and a 9.5% increase in staffing was approved with the original
permit, as opposed to prior year's numbers.
■ Why does the school now feel an additional 40 students are required?
■ The school could reduce enrollment to comply with restrictions.
■ Have admission files been reviewed by the City?
■ With respect to the trees and landscaping, many trees have been removed, stumps remain. Would
like a new Oak planted for every tree removed.
■ Shouldn't be allowed to increase the number of people that can use the bleachers.
■ Against allowing additional traffic and parking; but not opposed to an increase in enrollment.
■ There are multiple unreported vehicle accidents in the area due to parents and students at the

■ Board member at the high school; have looked closely at the number of students that can be
accommodated, increasing enrollment could help to keep tuition costs down.
® Adding 10 students to each class will not create a significant impact.
■ Traffic at Mercy High School is easier to navigate than traffic at Burlingame High School.
■ The proposed addition will not be a visual impact from anywhere outside the property.
■ Difficult to pin down enrollment, never certain how many will actually enroll at the facility.
■ Very few times that all students are present on the campus.
■ There is no more space available beyond 540 students.
■ The budget being proposed is only for 500 students, but want a buffer.
■ Are concerned about ensuring traffic safety.
■ Mercy High School existed prior to the homes on Adeline Drive and on Alvarado Avenue.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes January 11, 2010
■ What types of activities occur at the pool? Is it sufficient to support water polo? Are more activities
anticipated? (Held — only water polo practice and meets and regular swimming practice. No
increase in activities anticipated.)
■ What are the school hours? (Held — 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with after school activities ending at 6 p.m.)
■ Could school hours be amended to start at a later time? (Held — have not given consideration to
such a change; but would need to factor into overall scheduling.)
■ Has Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission reviewed the traffic and circulation in the area?
(Meeker— unknown.)
■ Discussed circulation patterns on the site. (Held — some roads through the site are not suitable for
traffic and are restricted in use by the Sisters of Mercy. Abby — some of these roads were used for
many years for circulation. Hudak — must understand that two separate parcels exist. Hastie —
doesn't know what the fire road was used for in the past, but has been deemed only available to
emergency traffic. Rebuilding the road is cost prohibitive. The lower Columbus/Hoover Gate Road
travels through areas of the Sisters of Mercy property; is used by the Sisters who have decided not
to open them to traffic.)
■ How many traffic incidents are heard of per year? (Held — this year, three occurrences. Have
phoned and/or e-mailed with neighbors to gather information on the event for follow-up; if
information is received, she follows -up.)
■ How many students attend classes off-site? (Held — approximately 25 students.)
■ There must be some solution to help move traffic along, is there a traffic pattern that can be devised
to alleviate problems?
■ Has there been any type of outreach/community meetings to attempt to resolve this issue. (Held —
want to be good neighbors; are open to working together with the community to attempt to find a
solution. There was a prior discussion regarding creating traffic patterns to improve conditions.
Have contacted Burlingame Police Department to manage traffic problems. Willing to have
neighborhood meetings.)
■ How much parking is available to the High School? (Held - 99 spaces for students and 72 for faculty
and staff. Doesn't believe that additional parking can be created.)
■ Drop-off and pick-up are also issues.
■ Doesn't have much of an issue with the gym and bleachers changes.
Additional public comments:
Alexandra Kromelow, 2621 Adeline Drive; and Dennis Huajardo, 1400 Columbus Avenue;
® An increase in student enrollment should not be considered until traffic problems are resolved.
■ Consider a staging area for students in order to reduce traffic impacts.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Further Commission comments:
■ Ok with the gym and bleacher changes, wait on the enrollment question until mitigations can be
evaluated.
■ Believe traffic problem only exists on Alvarado Avenue; suggest some kind of traffic mitigation
research to relieve traffic on Alvarado Avenue.
■ Demonstrate what can be done to help traffic circulation; should consider various alternatives.

TO: Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission
DATE: March 4, 2010
FROM: Augustine Chou, Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT: Item 7.2 — Burlingame Avenue 2 -Hour Parking
RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission conduct the following:
Meeting
Date: March 11, 2010
® Hold several TSPC meetings to receive public/business comments and review staff analysis
regarding the meter parking time limits along Burlingame Avenue.
® Provide City Council with a recommendation on its findings resulting from these public
meetings with the business community.
BACKGROUND: Between 1999 and 2005, the City hired Wilbur Smith Associates to conduct long-term
studies regarding the parking situation within the Burlingame Avenue Business District. Originally, the
City was approached by members of the business community with concerns that there wasn't enough
parking turn -over along the Avenue. There were complaints that because of the low price in meter
parking, less stringent parking enforcement, and no incentives to park elsewhere, people were abusing
the parking spaces on the Avenue; thus, not allowing potential new customers from using those same
spaces.
Based on the studies by Wilbur Smith Associates, the City determined that several changes to the
parking situation in the business district were necessary. The first was a phased approach to increasing
the meter rate directly on the Avenue, from $0.25 per hour to $0.75 per hour. Second, was the creation
of low-cost, long-term parking in city lots, one to two blocks off the Avenue area. Third, was the
designation of less expensive 2 -hour and 4 -hour on -street parking on surrounding streets such as
Primrose Road, Lorton Avenue, Park Road, Howard Avenue, Donnelly Avenue, Highland Avenue, and
Chapin Avenue.
The purpose for these changes were, 1) to make the price of parking on the Avenue more valuable to
the user, 2) give long-term parkers such as business employees a cheaper and specific place to park;
and, 3) give business customers who need more than 1 -hour on -street parking spaces on surrounding
streets.
DISCUSSION: The City recognizes that the business makeup on the Avenue is varied and continually
changing. There are retail and restaurant businesses that require more than 1 -hour parking, while there
are also businesses that want more short-term parking, such as Walgreen's and BevMo. One of the
goals of the current parking plan was an attempt at balancing between the two parking needs in the
business district — the need for more than 1 -hour, and the need for 1 -hour or less parking.
The City has recently heard from some business owners that the 1 -hour parking limit on Burlingame
Avenue is not enough time for their customers. Conversely, the City has also heard from other business
owners that there isn't enough parking available on the Avenue. Unfortunately, the Burlingame Avenue
Page 1 of 2
S:W Public Works Directory\TSP Commission\Staff Reports\2010\3-11-10 SR -7.2 2 -Hr Ave Parking.doc
Business District does not have an association or spokesperson who can relay the general consensus of
the business community to the City. The Traffic Safety and Parking Commission is a way for the City to
hear and consolidate the parking interests of all the businesses in the area.
It should be cautioned that one of the original concerns about parking on the Avenue was the abuse of
long-term parkers at the meters. Because of the abuse of some people parking longer than the 1 -hour
limit, there was little turn -over and frustration with new customers not finding available spaces on the
Avenue. Consideration to increase the parking time limit to 2 -hours (or some time increment of that
limit), could potentially put the parking situation on the Avenue back into a position it was in 1999.
Conversely, an increase could be more representative %J the current needs of Burlingame Avenue, and
the surrounding area. In either case, the City needs to make sure that the collective wishes of the entire
business district are accounted for before any determination can be made.

TO: Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission
DATE: March 4, 2010
FROM: Augustine Chou, Traffic Engineer
SUBJECT: Item 7.3 — City Parking Lot K: Possible Meter & Rate Change
Meeting
Date: March 11, 2010
RECOMMENDATION: Commission concurrence with staff to recommend to City Council the following:
® No immediate changes to be implemented to the current time limit and method of payment at
City Lot K.
® Designation of new 2 -hour spaces after reconfiguration of City Lot K, tentatively scheduled for
summer/fall of 2010.
DISCUSSION: Lot K is a city parking lot located behind Burlingame Avenue, between EI Camino Real
and Fox Plaza Lane. The lot has 68 spaces and is currently configured entirely as a 10 -hour parking lot.
Prior to 2003, the lot was configured with 18 10 -hour spaces and 50 2 -hour spaces. Based on the
findings of the Burlingame Avenue District Parking Studies (2001-2003), the lot was modified to all 10 -
hour parking to provide long-term parking for Burlingame Avenue business employees. The modification
also served to provide Burlingame Avenue business customers with parking time limits longer than 1 -
hour, which is currently along the Avenue.
Significant changes have recently occurred to the type of parking requirements needed along that end of
Burlingame Avenue. Large businesses with a customer -base needing short-term parking have begun to
move in. Examples of such businesses are the Walgreen's drug store and BevMo liquor store. The City
recognizes the need to anticipate the on -street parking requirements resulting from these new
businesses. The City, however, is also looking into business requests to increase the on -street parking
time limit on Burlingame Avenue. A consideration to increase the parking limit along the Avenue would
be in opposition of what is needed for the new businesses.
One possible alternative would be to consider providing packers with short
-term parking access to the
City lots nearest to these businesses. Two such lots are in close proximity, Lot K and Lot K-1. City Lot
K-1 is a small lot located directly across the street from Walgreen's, at the northwest corner of
Burlingame Avenue and EI Camino Real. Lot K-1 is currently timed for 2 -hour parking. As stated above,
Lot K is currently timed for 10 -hours only. It may be possible to modify Lot K so that a few 1 -hour or 2 -
hour spaces can be reinstalled. In this way, both lots may be used to accommodate the short-term
parking needs regardless of the ultimate parking scheme along the Avenue.
The City is currently working with Caltrans on obtaining permission to construct a new driveway onto EI
Camino Real from Lot K. The proposal is for aright -turn -only driveway both into and out of the lot from
EI Camino Real. The Engineering staff has already obtained preliminary design approval from Caltrans
on the location of the driveway and does not anticipate problems with final permit approval for
construction. After receiving approval to proceed, the City will program the work for late summer or early
Page 1 of 2
S:W Public Works Directory\TSP Commission\Staff Reports\2010\3-11-10 SR -7.3 Lot K.doc
fall of this year. The work would include potential changes to stall configuration, lot resurfacing, and
restriping.
The Engineering staff believes that the best time to consider a time limit modification to Lot K would be
during this construction period. In the interim, staff also believes that the 2 -hour limit at Lot K-1 will be
sufficient to accommodate the needs of the new businesses along that end of the Avenue.
