SUBJECT: Recommendation to support Measure A, Burlingame Schools Safety and Repair Bond
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council urge support for the Burlingame Schools
Safety and Repair Bond, Measure A, in the November 6, 2007 Election.
BACKGROUND: Elementary and middle school facilities in Burlingame are 50 to 100 years old and in need
of repair. Measure A would allow the Burlingame School District to receive matching funds from the state and
stretch its construction dollars for necessary repairs in Burlingame schools.
EXHIBITS:

BUDGET IMPACT: None.
Message Points
For Burlingame Elementary School District Bond (Measure A)
October 1, 2007
1. Elementary and middle school facilities in Burlingame are 50 to 100 years old and badly in
need of repair. Leaky roofs, outdated fire alarm systems, deteriorating restrooms, and
inefficient heating/ventilation/air-conditioning systems must be repaired.
2. The Measure A bond would allow the district to receive matching funds from the state and
stretch its construction dollars for necessary school repairs.
3. All Measure A bond funds will stay in Burlingame to repair our local schools—the state
can't take a single dime.
4. The Burlingame Elementary School District(BSD) is entirely separate from the San Mateo
Union High School District and has a strong record of fiscal responsibility. It has provided
sound oversight of its previous bond measures. The BSD's Superintendent has prudently
managed the district's finances during his seven-year tenure. The BSD school board includes
a certified public accountant, an attorney, and a management consultant with extensive
financial experience.
5. As required by law, an oversight committee will review all expenditures funded by the
Measure A. The district's existing Budget Advisory Committee will serve as the oversight
committee. This committee currently includes a number of financial professionals and its
membership will be expanded to add a senior citizen and a taxpayer advocate. The
committee's chair is Blair Sanford, who is the managing principal of a hedge fund. The
Budget Advisory Committee meets monthly during the school year. All Budget Advisory
Committee meetings are open to the public and minutes can be requested from the district's
Business Services office.
6. As required by law, there will be an annual audit of expenditures and construction progress.
7. If the bond doesn't pass, we will continue to make emergency repairs using General Fund
money that might otherwise be available for educational programs.
8. For more information about Measure A and why it is vital for repairing our local schools,

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
DATE: October 3, 2007
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
PLANT (SSMP)
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the attached
resolution adopting the Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP) in accordance
with State General Waste Discharge Regulations.
BACKGROUND: Over the last five years, the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency and the State Regional Water Quality Control Board has become
increasingly concerned regarding the public health and safety issues arising from the
Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO). The SSO typically occur due to blockages and
overloading of the sewer system resulting in sewage spills in both public and private
properties causing potential health hazards. The factors responsible for the SSO are
debris blockages, root intrusion, grease deposits, storm water infiltration and old
broken pipes as well as inadequate operations and maintenance of the system.
In 2006, the State passed new regulations requiring public agencies responsible for
collection and treatment of waste water to adopt the SSMP by November 2, 2007
and update it periodically to incorporate State requirements. Further, the regulations
require commitments from agencies to adequately fund the maintenance and capital
improvements to the sewer system to reduce SSO.
DISCUSSION: Over the past two years, staff has worked with the State officials and
developed the attached SSMP for Council approval. The SSMP describes the
plans, methods, policies and standards to effectively operate and maintain the
sanitary sewer system to reduce the SSO. Further, it includes the procedures for
reporting sewage spills and emergency response plan. As part of implementing the
SSMP, the City will need to update the sewer ordinance to be in compliance with
State requirements for which staff will return to Council in the future.
BUDGET IMPACT: Adequate funding is available in the 2007-08 Sewer Enterprise
funds budget to implement the SSMP.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON ORDINANCE � TO AMEND THE CONDOMINIUM
SUBDIVISION AND CONVERSION REGULATIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE FOR
CONSISTENCY WITH THE TROUSDALE WEST (TW) AND EL CAMINO NORTH (ECN)
ZONING DISTRICTS.
RECOMMENDATIOIN:
City Council should hold a public hearing and take action on the proposed ordinance to amend the
condominium subdivision and conversion regulations in the Municipal Code to make them consistent with the
Trousdale West (TW) and EI Camino North (ECN) zoning regulations and the North Burlingame/Rollins Road
Specific Plan. Affirmative action should be to adopt the proposed ordinance. In its action, the Council
should:
1. Adopt the proposed ordinance; and
2. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance within 15 days of adoption.
The public hearing for action was noticed in a newspaper of general circulation (San Mateo County Times) on
October 5, 2007.
CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCTION:
On October 1, 2007, the City Council introduced the proposed ordinance to amend the condominium
subdivision and condominium conversion regulations. The Council, by a 5-0 vote, introduced the ordinance,
directed the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance and set the date for a second reading of the
ordinance on October 15, 2007.
GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE:
The Trousdale West (TW) and EI Camino North (ECN) zoning districts were adopted in 2005 and 2007
respectively. These two zones were written to implement the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan
adopted by the City Council and amended to the Burlingame General Plan in September 2004. The
provisions of the ECN and TW zoning districts are also consistent with the proposed amendments to the EI
Camino Real Gateway Corridor Subarea proposed in the November 15, 2006 amendment to the North
Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan. Because of the new approaches to design and location of
development proposed in the Specific Plan and included in the two implementing zoning ordinances, the
city's condominium subdivision and condominium conversion regulations needed amendment for consistency
in implementation. The provisions in the proposed ordinances are consistent with the North
Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan because they are taken from the land use element and design
guidelines in that adopted plan. The North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan was adopted as a
refinement to the 1969 General Plan which was instrumental in establishing the existing development pattern
for this area and provides the umbrella for land use in the area.
INTRODUCE ORDINANCES TO AMENDMENT CH.26.30 THE CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION AND CH.26.32 THE
CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION REGULATIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
October 15,2007
CEQA COMPLIANCE:
Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15305— Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations, Class 5
consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%,which do
not result in any changes in land use or density.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
At their meeting on July 23, 2007, the Planning Commission studied the proposed amendments to the
condominium subdivision (Ch 26.30)and conversion regulations(Ch.26.32). The Commission noted some
editorial corrections including clarifying the definition of open space to make it clear that swimming pool
equipment enclosures are counted as open space and the need to check the consistency in replacing
'Planning Department'with 'Community Development Department'to reflect recent organizational changes.
Staff noted that along with the Municipal Code change to establish the Community Development Department,
there will be a comprehensive change throughout the Municipal Code to replace Planning Department with
Community Development Department. There was discussion among the Commissioners about how'tenant
in common'ownerships are affected by the condominium requirements.The City Attorney noted that legally
'tenant in common'ownerships,at this time,are outside of the condominium requirements. The Commission
also asked whether it is appropriate to address the requirement that there be'no net loss of units'from the
original number on the site when a new condominium or conversion of an apartment building occurs. Staff
noted that the'no net loss'issue should be addressed elsewhere in the code. The'net loss of units'issue is
an item which is on the Commission's work program for this year and will be addressed later. The
Commission set the amendments to the condominium regulations for hearing on August 13,2007.
At their meeting on August 13, 2007, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted 6-0-1 (C.
Brownrigg absent)to recommend the proposed amendments to the Condominium Subdivision (Ch. 26.30)
and Condominium Conversion (Ch 26.32) regulations to the City Council for adoption. There were no
comments from the public or the Commissioners. The changes to these two chapters of the Municipal Code
relating to condominium development were incorporated in to a single ordinance for Commission and Council
action.
BACKGROUND:
In 2003 the Housing Element Subcommittee of the Planning Commission worked with staff to revamp the
Condominium Subdivision and Condominium Conversion regulations initially adopted in the 1970's. At that
time the condominium regulations were reorganized and separate regulations for commercial and residential
condominiums were created. These changes were adopted by the City Council in Ordinance 1706 in 2003.
Staff has found them very user friendly.
In 2006 and 2007 the Planning Commission recommended,and Council adopted,new zoning regulations for
the Trousdale West(TW)and EI Camino North (ECN)areas. In order to implement the development and
design objectives in the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan,these two zoning districts incorporate
new development regulations which are not consistent with the condominium regulations established for the
R-3 and R-4 zoning districts. For example,in the ECN district along EI Camino Real streetwalls which extend
from side property line to side property line with a zero setback along the front property line are required for
the first 35 feet in height of a structure. These standards make it impossible to have a curved driveway with
off-street loading along EI Camino. Private open space balconies for residential development along side
property lines for the first 35 feet are also not feasible. When these zoning districts were being reviewed,the
Planning Commission and Council both recognized that the condominium subdivision and conversion
regulations would need to be amended to address the new development policies and their zoning
implementation. Staff was directed to make the appropriate amendments to the condominium regulations.

INTRODUCE ORDINANCES TO AMENDMENT CH. 26.30 THE CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION AND CH. 26.32 THE
CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION REGULATIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
October 15, 2007
Summarized below are the changes recommended to the Condominium Subdivision and Conversion
ordinances:
Condominium Subdivision Requirements for New Construction (CS 26.30)
(See Annotated Text: Revision to Condominium Subdivision Regulations)
• Clarified definition of 'open space' to include interior spaces such as exercise rooms, meeting rooms
or any other improvement approved by the Planning Commission. It was also clarified that swimming
pool equipment enclosures will be included in the definition of open space. (Given the densities
allowed in TW and ECN some sites will not be able to meet the common open space requirement
even with roof gardens, without dedicating some area within the structure to common use (CS
26.30.040 (f)).
• The Basic Standards section (CS 26.30.060) introduction was amended to clarify that these items are
criteria for which findings should be made when the Commission or Council acts on a condominium
subdivision.
• Within the Basic Standards section (CS 26.30.060 (b)) reference to the Housing Element and design
requirements were added as criteria for approval. Density requirements of the applicable zoning
district were already noted in the regulation.
• The Minimum Requirements section (CS 26.30.070) was amended to allow for the development
requirements (setbacks, height, etc.) of the TW and ECN zone including use of a unistall parking
dimension instead of compact and standard stalls. Amendments also include exemption from the
requirement for on-site delivery for properties which front only on EI Camino Real where, with a
continual street-wall, delivery bays are not possible.
• Clarify that the off-street parking requirements for mixed use buildings shall be determined by the
zoning district in which the development is located (CS 26.30.070 (a) (4)).
• Clarify that the front, side and rear setback requirements shall be established by the zoning district in
which the property is located. In the past a minimum 5 foot setback was required for all multiple-
family development which was to be built as a condominium in order to off set the minimum 3 feet and
4 feet earlier allowed on narrow lots in the R-3 and R-4 zones. However, multiple family development
in the R-3, R-4, and TW zones now requires a 5 foot minimum side setback for residential
condominium development, so this change will not affect the minimum side setback requirement (CS
26.30.070 (6)).
• Private open space requirements are amended to exempt first floor residential development in the
ECN district from providing private open space. Because of setback requirements in the ECN zone,
first floor private open space may not be possible in many cases (CS 26.30.070 (e) (3)).
• Common open space will be allowed to be provided in roof top gardens in all multiple family zones;
however the minimum open space dimension requirements remain the same. Without this provision
for roof top gardens it will be hard to meet the common open space requirements in the TW and ECN
zones. Allowing such use of roof areas is always discretionary for the Commission (CS 26.03.070 (e)
(4))•
• A section was added describing the time limits for the City's condominium subdivision approval action.
The time limits for the condominium permit are tied to the tentative map rather than the zoning
approvals. This difference is already established in the zoning code (CS 25.16.130 (a)) but for clarity
should also be included with the ordinance governing condominium subdivisions. It should be noted
that the zoning code regulations provide that the planning approvals last for the duration of the
tentative map (CS 25.16.130 (b)).

INTRODUCE ORDINANCES TO AMENDMENT CH. 26.30 THE CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION AND CH. 26.32 THE
CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION REGULATIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
October 15, 2007
Condominium Conversion Requirements (CS 26.32)
(See Annotated Text: Revision to Condominium Conversion Requirements)
• The title 'Planning Department ' was changed to 'Community Development Department' throughout
the chapter. In a few places the term 'city' was changed to 'Community Development Department' to
make it clear which City department has the responsibility.
• The minimum requirements section title was amended to clarify that these are minimum project
requirements (CS 25.32.085).
• The minimum project requirements section (CS 26.32.085) was amended to incorporate by reference
the project requirements for a condominium subdivision (CS 26.30.080) which now reflect the different
standards of the TW and ECN zone. This change allowed major editing of this section. One benefit
of this editing is that it reduces possible consistency errors between the subdivision and conversion
regulations if changes are made in the future.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff would note that during the review process of the North Burlingame/ Rollins Road Specific Plan and the
implementing Trousdale West (TW) and EI Camino North (ECN) zoning district, both the Planning
Commission and City Council recognized that the condominium regulations would require amendment. As a
result, the issues behind these proposed revisions have already been thoroughly discussed, including public
hearing, at the general plan policy and zoning implementation level. Since a large portion of the new
development in the TW and ECN zones is likely to be multiple-family residential, it is important for the
condominium subdivision requirements to be consistent with these new policies. Further, for consistency of
future administration and development, the Condominium Conversion requirements need to be consistent
with the Condominium Subdivision requirements.

Revisions to Condominium Subdivision Regulations to address
the El Camino North (ECN) and Trousdale West (TW) Zoning Districts
In 2007 the City Council created two new zoning districts to implement the North
Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan. These two mixed use (residential and
commercial) districts are located within in walking distance to the intermodal transit
station in Millbrae. To encourage high density, more pedestrian oriented
development arranged to visually narrow this portion of El Camino Real so that it
would better fit the predominant existing image of El Camino in Burlingame; the
development standards for residential or mixed use buildings in this area are
substantially different from those in the R-3 and R-4 zoning districts. Because of
these changes it is necessary to revise the condominium subdivision regulations to
match the adopted zoning standards for these two districts.
Overall the condominium regulation standards remain the same for all zones: a
conditional use permit is required, definitions for key words are established, and the
basic standards established including criteria for granting a condominium subdivision.
Changes are reflected in the sections which define the minimum development
standards for a condominium. This section has been rewritten to be based on the
development requirements for each zoning district. The R-2 (duplex), R-3, R-4
districts continue to be grouped together, as they are in the current regulations. New
minimum requirements are established for the TW and ECN districts. In the future, if
new multiple family or mixed use zones with different requirements are adopted, this
section can be easily amended by adding minimum requirements provisions which
apply to that zoning district. Additions to the text are shown in italics deletions by

26.30.010 Purpose.
This chapter is adopted to ensure each condominium project supports sound community
planning; supports the economic, ecological, social and aesthetic qualities of the community; and
supports the public health, safety and general welfare. Review criteria are needed to adequately
evaluate residential, commercial and industrial condominium subdivisions and insure that they
are consistent with the purposes of this chapter, the city's general plan, its implementing zoning,
and this code. (Ord. 1706 § 2, (2003))
26.30.020 New construction permit required.
Before final approval and issuance of any building permit for any condominium or
condominium project, a developer, builder or other person seeking to construct such a project
shall first apply for and obtain from the planning commission a condominium permit. A
condominium permit shall be issued only:
(a) Upon approval of the planning commission, or city council upon appeal or review,
finding that the project conforms to the provisions of Chapter 26.30 and to all applicable zoning
regulations of Title 25 of this code; and
(b) Upon payment of fees in the amount required by this code and resolution of the city
council.
Applications for condominium new construction permits shall be evaluated and processed
pursuant to the procedural requirements set forth for conditional use permits in Title 25 of this
code. (Ord. 1015 § 1 (part), (1974); Ord. 1706 § 2, (2003))
26.30.025 Conversion permit.
Any developer, builder or other person seeking to convert an existing structure to a
condominium shall first apply for and obtain from the planning commission a condominium
conversion permit pursuant to Chapter 26.32. Condominium conversions shall be limited to a
parcel containing structures with a total of more than twenty(20) residential units or with
commercial, office, or industrial structures with a total of more than twenty thousand (20,000)
square feet. Applications for condominium conversion permits shall be evaluated and processed
pursuant to the procedural requirements set forth for conditional use permits in Title 25 of this
code. (Ord. 1015 § 1 (part), (1974); Ord. 1206 § 1, (1981); Ord. 1706 § 2, (2003))
26.30.030 Community apartments.
Community and cooperatively owned apartments or commercial, office, or industrial units
shall be subject to the same restrictions, conditions, requirements and application fees as new
condominiums and condominium conversions under Chapter 26.32. (Ord. 1015 § 1 (part),

(1974); Ord. 1706 § 2, (2003))
26.30.040 Definitions.
For the purpose of this title, the following words and phrases shall have the following
definitions:
(a) "Common areas" means the entire project, excepting all units therein granted or reserved.
(b) "Community or cooperatively owned" means a development in which an undivided
interest in the land is coupled with the right of exclusive occupancy of an apartment or space
within a commercial building located thereon. For all purposes of this code, community or
cooperatively owned structures shall be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and
regulations as condominiums.
(c) "Condominium"means an estate in real property consisting of an undivided interest in
common in a portion of a parcel of real property together with a separate interest in space in a
residential, industrial or commercial building on such real property such as an apartment, office
or store. A condominium may include, in addition, a separate interest in other portions of real
property. Such separate interest may, with respect to the duration of its enjoyment, be either(1)
an estate of inheritance or perpetual estate, (2) an estate for life, (3) an estate for years, such as
leasehold or sublease hold, or(4) a right of use. For the purposes of this chapter, a townhouse is
a condominium.
(d) "Condominium project" means the entire parcel, or portion thereof, or real property,
including all structures thereon, subdivided or to be subdivided, for the purpose of constructing
or converting existing structures to condominium units.
(e) "Conversion"means a proposed change in the ownership interest of a parcel or parcels of
land, together with the existing or added structures, some of which were previously occupied,
from that established to the type of ownership interest defined as community apartments, stock
cooperative, or condominiums.
(f) "Open space" means that area of a lot which is:
(1) Open and unobstructed from the ground to the sky; or
(2) Open and unobstructed from the ground to roof eaves or balconies above the ground

Annotated
Condominium Subdivision Regulations:Add TW and ECN Districts August 1,2007
Annotation:
In the TW and ECN zoning districts there was discussion that common open space
areas could be within the building so long as they were available to and shared by all
the residents and were recreationally or socially oriented. Laundry rooms were not
considered as common open space. However an in-door pool or exercise room could
be considered common open space.The language in the definition was changed to
both clarify the current wording which implies indoor areas might be considered and
to be specific about what kind of indoor areas might,with the approval of the
Planning Commission, be considered.
(g) "Units"means the elements of a condominium which are not owned in common with the
owners of other condominiums in the project.(Ord. 1015§1(part),(1974);Ord.1706§2,
(2003))
26.30.050 Initiated projects.
No condominium project,regardless of when initiated,for which a building permit has been
issued shall be exempt from the requirements of obtaining a condominium permit or
condominium conversion permit unless actual construction has commenced.(Ord. 1015§ 1
(part),(1974))
26.30.060 Basic standards.
The following condominium standards shall apply to all land and structures proposed as a part
of a condominium project and shall be evaluated and processed pursuant to the procedural
requirements set forth for conditional use permits in Title 25 of this code.No condominium
project or portion thereof shall be approved or conditionally approved in whole or in part unless
the planning commission,or city council upon appeal or review,has reviewed and found the
project conforms with the following on the basis of their effect on:sound community planning;
the economic,ecological,social and aesthetic qualities of the community;and on public health,
safety and general welfare:
Annotation:
The change to this text calls out that findings of no effect on community planning
economic and other qualities of the community and on the public health,safety and
general welfare are necessary to approve a condominium permit. Moreover the
Planning Commission needs to act based on ability to make these findings.
(a) The overall impact on schools,parks,utilities,neighborhoods,streets,traffic,parking
and other community facilities and resources;
(b) Conformity with the general plan,housing element and density..,..mit4ed by zoning

Annotation:
The language added to this section clarifies that conformity with the general plan
including the Housing Element and with the zoning including the design requirements
are necessary. This addition is really an update since the city's requirements have
changed since the original condominium subdivision regulations were adopted in the
1970's.
(c) A detailed development and site plan of the project including: the location, treatment and
sizes of structures; separation between living units and along property lines; parking layout,
access areas and exterior elevations; location and use of common areas and other designated
open space and security provisions; and location of loading zone and trash enclosure, including
recycling area, and mechanical equipment;
(d) A detailed landscaping plan indicating sun and shade patterns on the site, the types and
sizes of landscaping materials retained and to be installed, and their suitability to the sun and
shade conditions on the site;
(e) A detailed lighting plan indicating location and nature of lighting and lighting fixtures on
all structures and in the common areas;
(f) A copy of conditions, covenants and restrictions and any condominium agreements for
the project setting forth the occupancy and management policies for the project;
(g) For each condominium unit, floor plans indicating the total floor area, the number, type
and size of rooms, the type of separation walls; provisions for achieving sound control and
privacy; provisions for insulating exterior walls and roof from heat and cold; and location of hot
water heaters, furnaces and storage areas within each unit and in the common areas; and
(h) Provisions for the dedication of land or easements for street widening, public access or
other public purposes, where necessary, and in accordance with established planned
improvements. (Ord. 1015 § 1 (part), (1974); Ord. 1706 § 2, (2003))
26.30.070 Minimum requirements
Annotation:
The following special requirements for residential condominium development were
originally written to apply to the R-2 (duplex), R-3 (multiple family) and R-4 (multiple
family) zoning districts. The proposed amendments, shown in italics and annotated,
expand these requirements to include the Trousdale West (TW) and El Camino North
(ECN) zoning districts. The development standards in these districts are different, so
modification of the minimum condominium requirements is necessary.

Annotated
Condominium Subdivision Regulations:Add TW and ECN Districts August 1,2007
Except as otherwise provided by law, in approving or conditionally approving any
condominium project, the following shall be required:
(a) Parking.
(1) For multiple family residential condominiums, there shall be off-street parking as
required by this code and at least one parking space shall be in the ownership of each residential
unit. No on-site parking spaces shall be rented or leased to any on- or off-site person.If unistall
parking dimension is not used, compact parking spaces shall be allowed in residential
condominium development in the following ratio:
Required Parking Spaces Allowable Compact Spaces
1-10 1
10-20 2
Over 20 3
Annotation:
This provision is changed because the TW and ECN zones allow the option of unistall
parking, instead of standard and compact dimensioned parking stalls. It is clear in
the zoning that standard/compact parking stalls cannot be combined with unistall
spaces. This provision makes that distinction clear for condominiums.
(2) On-site guest parking spaces shall be provided for all residential condominium and
cooperative developments. Guest parking spaces shall be held in common ownership, shall not
be rented or assigned to residents or non-residents, and shall not be sold or transferred except
with the sale of all units as a single entity. Guest parking spaces may be designed to compact
standards as defined in Chapter 25.70. Guest parking spaces shall be provided in residential
condominium and cooperative development in the following ratio:
Number of Dwelling Units Required Guest Parking Spaces
2 to 4 units 1
5-15 units 2
15 or more 3
Annotation:
No change is made to this requirement, since whether guest parking spaces are
unistall or not, they should be provided.
(3) Except for properties in the El Camino North (ECN) district with a lot front on El
Camino Real with no secondary frontage on another street, all residential condominium
developments shall provide an area for on-site deliveries.
6
Annotated
Condominium Subdivision Regulations: Add TW and ECN Districts August 1,2007
Annotation:
The zero lot line development concept on El Camino to facilitate optimum pedestrian
activity and the design guidelines for El Camino would make it impossible to provide
an area for off street load and unloading on El Camino. Since only a portion of a
building on Trousdale and the other streets in the TW and ENC districts is allowed to
be built close to property line, it is possible to provide an off street delivery, loading
and unloading area.
(4) For commercial uses in mixed use structures, there shall be off street parking as required
by this code. If unistall dimension for parking, is not used, such parking may include compact
parking as allowed in Chapter 25.70.
Annotation:
In these two zones the only commercial uses allowed are in mixed use buildings. The
parking option of unistall provided in the two zoning districts applies to parking for
commercial uses as well. It should be noted that CS 25.41.090 Special Parking
Requirements (ECN) does not require any on site parking for first floor retail uses.
This provision would apply as well. No retail uses are allowed in the TW zone so the
first floor retail on-site parking exemption does not apply.
(5) Parking requirements compliant with the American Disabilities Act shall be provided on
site as required by the California Building Standards Code as amended by this code.
(b) Access, Vehicular Driveways, and Parking Areas.
(1) All private streets, driveways, and parking areas shall be improved and constructed with
a structural section in accordance with city standards. They shall be designed and maintained to
insure access for municipal services to any dwelling unit therein.
(2) Only temporary parking for service vehicles shall be allowed in the driveway between
the front property line and the face of the building. Calculation of private open space and
common open space at ground level shall not include any vehicular driveways or parking areas.
(c) Setback Requirements. Front, side and rear setback requirements shall be as set out in
the zoning district regulations applicable to the parcel or parcels being developed. Side Sethaek.

" Trirrnfl.czT
Annotation:
In the original condominium subdivision regulations applicable to the R-2, R-3, and
R-4 zones, a higher minimum standard for side setback was established. This was to
address cases where the minimum required setback is 3 or 4 feet. Because
7
Annotated
Condominium Subdivision Regulations:Add TW and ECN Districts August 1,2007
condominiums are owned, the Council determined, when originally establishing the
regulations in the 1970's, that if units on narrower lots were to be owned there
should be more than the minimum 3-4 foot separation between buildings; thus the
minimum 5 foot separation. In the case of the TW and ECN zones, the design
guidelines encourage lot line development in order to achieve a better pedestrian
experience. The ECN zoning provides when the structure rises more than 35 feet,
then a 15 foot side setback must be provided. In the current R-3, R-4 and TW zones,
any structure with multiple family dwellings must have at least a 5 foot setback.
Therefore, deferring this standard to the zoning regulations will achieve the same 5
foot separation for residential condominium development as desired by the Council in
the 1970's.
(d) Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions Agreements. Conditions, covenants and
restrictions agreements shall contain,but not be limited to, adequate provisions for maintenance,
repair and upkeep of all structures, site landscaping and other on-site improvements; provisions
that in the event of destruction or abolishment, reconstruction shall be in accordance with codes
in effect at the time of such reconstruction; and provisions for dedication of land or
establishment of easements for street widening or other public purpose. Covenants, conditions
and restrictions shall describe: powers, duties, rights and obligations set forth in Civil Code
Section 1355; the proposed form of owners' association; and suggested by-laws, maintenance
agreements, use restrictions, and special funds to cover emergency repairs; and require and
enforce that on-site parking spaces be owned or assigned to condominium owners or held in
common ownership by the condominium association shall be used only by bicycles or currently
registered and operable motor vehicles as defined by the Vehicle Code.
(e) Landscaping and Open Space Standards.
(1) Front setback landscaping for residential condominium or cooperative development.
Landscaping is required between the front property line and face of the building equal to and not
less than fifty (50)percent of the lot area within the required front setback. Emphasis should be
placed on minimizing turf and ground cover areas and on planting larger scale and more vertical
plant material which will frame and screen the view of the structure from the street. If a circular
drive is provided a special permit may be requested to reduce the required front setback
landscaping to forty-five(45)percent of the lot area within the required front setback.
(2) Site landscaping shall be suitable for the specific sun/shade environment of the lot.
(3) Private open space for residential condominium or cooperative development.
Private open space shall be provided for each unit and shall be contiguous and directly accessible
to each unit, except in the ECN district where private open space shall not be required for
dwelling units on the ground floor. Private open space may be paved or landscaped and shall be
screened or fenced for the privacy of the residential unit when located within four(4) feet of
established grade. Decks and balconies when designated for outdoor use may be used to satisfy
8
Annotated
Condominium Subdivision Regulations:Add TW and ECN Districts August 1,2007
this requirement.The following minimum standards for private open space shall apply:
(A) Seventy-five(75)square feet for each unit above the ground floor with no dimension of
a designated area less than three and one-half(3-1/2)feet.
Annotation:
The design guidelines for the North Burlingame planning area do not mention
including balconies on multi-family residential buildings. This provision of the
condominium guidelines requires private open space in the form of balconies for all
residential units above the ground floor. No private open space would be required for
first floor residential units. It should be noted that the condominium requirements in
Burlingame have traditionally set a higher standard for development of multiple
family uses than the zoning. Based on that the condominium regulations can require
balconies or decks for private open space in the TW and ECN zoned areas. With the
present zoning regulations for TW and ECN, multiple family rental units would not be
required to provide balconies. The balcony size used proposed in this section is the
same as in the R-4 zone. These dimensions were originally based on establishing a
useable outdoor area.
(4) Common open space for residential condominium and cooperative development.In
addition to private open space,open space accessible to or enjoyed by all project residents shall
be provided at not less than one hundred(100)square feet per dwelling unit,with no dimension
of any designated common open space area to be less than fifteen(15)feet.Such common areas
may be designed for passive or active use,and include landscaping or paving,provided such
paving does not exceed fifty(50)percent of the total required area.All such afeas shall be a4 a
within six(6)feet ef established grade;roof tep areas shall net qualify as eeffhiien epen spae,—
Common open space areas may be provided within the required rear setback,or when the rear
setback is inadequate,such open space may be provided on appropriately designed,rooftop
areas.
Annotation:
This provision provides for one significant change in the ECN and TW zones that the
Planning Commission's thought should be encouraged, roof top gardens. Commission
felt that roof top gardens would not be a privacy issue, given the height of the future
buildings and also that such gardens provide a more attractive distant view for the
houses on the hills above. However, as the private and common open space
requirements are written here,exempting first floor units from the private open
space requirement would allow the entire rear setback to be used for common open
space, providing it is not consumed by driveways.
(5) Common open space for commercial and commercial portions of mixed-use structures.
Common open space may be provided above the fzrstlloor,but is not required.
9
Annotated
Condominium Subdivision Regulations: Add TW and ECN Districts August 1, 2007
Annotation:
The zoning requirements for the TW and ECN zones do not require private or common
open space for commercial development. This provision is written to provide an
architect the opportunity of providing common open space, such as balcony dining in
a mixed use building, but does not require it. Further this provision does not require
provision of common open space on the first floor for commercial uses. First floor
common open space does not necessarily support the idea of a continuous built street
wall, which is friendly to pedestrians. However, wider sidewalks are required in the
Trousdale and El Camino areas, so merchants can put tables out with an
encroachment permit.
(f) Project Plans and Submittals. Project plans shall indicate accessibility for owners, guests,
employees and customers to parking, storage, recreation and service areas; separation between
living units and along property lines; provisions for security; orientation with respect to
surrounding buildings and land uses; the location and type of utilities, building services and
separate facilities for individual units and access easements to make repairs including:
(1) Separate gas and electric meters and separate water shutoff valves; individual residential
unit climate controls and any proposed climate zones (based on types of unit uses) for non-
residential condominium projects;
(2) Shock mounting of mechanical equipment to reduce sound transfer;
(3) Flexible connectors for electrical and plumbing connections;
(4) Sound levels shall satisfy adopted noise element criteria and all state standards;
(5) Other reports may be required by the city as a condition for approving a condominium
permit including an economic report, social impact of relocation procedures; report of
structural condition; report on building compliance with all building, fire and zoning
codes for proposed uses; certificate of occupancy; and sufficient additional information
prepared by licensed professionals to evaluate the soundness of the conversion proposed
project. (Ord. 1015 § 1 (part), (1974); Ord. 1706 § 2, (2003))
26.30.080 Time Limits
A condominium permit granted or issued pursuant to Title 26, shall become null and void
when the tentative map for the condominium expires because no final map has been f led
pursuant to State law and this code, rather than the time limits for the planning approvals
specified in CS 25.16.130 (a).

Annotated
Condominium Subdivision Regulations:Add TW and ECN Districts August 1,2007
Annotation:
This addition addresses two issues. First it lets applicants know the time limit on a
condominium permit is the same as the tentative map, currently 2 years. However,
in the past the State Legislature has been known to lengthen this time when the
economy is poor. Second, it makes it clear that the life-time of this permit is not
tied to the zoning code and thus not necessarily the same as any zoning approvals
required for the project. The final thing addressed in this section is that this time
limit will change automatically with changes in State law.

Chapter 26.32 CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION PERMITS
26.32.010 Purpose.
The city finds and determines that condominiums differ from buildings in which all units are
in a single ownership in numerous respects and for the benefit of public health, safety and
welfare, condominium projects should be treated differently. The city therefore states its express
intent to adopt regulations for the conversion of existing buildings to condominium or
cooperative ownership. Condominium conversion regulations are for the protection of displaced
tenants and the purchasers of condominiums and cooperatively owned buildings. The purposes
of this chapter are therefore:
(a) To establish criteria for conversion of the existing multiple family rental housing to
condominiums, community apartments, cooperatively owned property, and any other subdivision
which is a conversion of existing rental housing, commercial, office or industrial buildings;
(b) To reduce the impact of such conversions on residents in rental housing and tenants in
commercial, office and industrial buildings who may be required to relocate due to the
conversion to condominium ownership by providing for procedures for notification and adequate
time and assistance for such relocation;
(c) To assure that adequate information as to about the physical conditions of the structure
which is offered for purchase is made available to purchasers of converted housing, commercial,
office or industrial spaces;
(d) To insure that converted properties achieve a high degree of appearance, quality and
safety and is consistent with the general plan and zoning goals of the city;
(e) To provide a reasonable balance of ownership and rental housing in the city and a variety
of choices of tenure, type, price, and location of housing; and
(f) To maintain a supply of rental housing for elderly, handicapped, and low and moderate
income persons. (Ord. 1206 § 2 (part), (1981); Ord. 1707 § 2, (2003))

Before final approval and issuance of any building permit for any condominium conversion
project, a developer, builder or other person seeking to construct such a project shall first apply
for and obtain from the planning commission a condominium conversion permit. Such
condominium conversion permit shall be issued only:
(a) Upon approval of the planning commission, or city council upon appeal or review, after
it determines that the project has adequately met all the disclosure and upgrade requirements for
conversion as required in this chapter or the planning commission has waive the requirement
based on findings related to the property; and
(b) Upon approval of the planning commission, or city council upon appeal or review, after
it determines that such the project conforms to all applicable zoning regulations of Title 25 of
this code; and
(c) Upon the payment of fees in the amount required by Section 26.24.090 and council
resolution.
Applications for condominium new construction permits shall be evaluated and processed

26.32.080 Physical standards for condominium conversions.
(a) Adequate Physical Conditions. To achieve the purpose of this chapter, the planning
commission shall require, except as may otherwise be provided in this code, that all units to be
converted to condominium conform to the Burlingame Municipal Code in effect at the time of
tentative map approval, including all building and fire codes.
All violations of the city code and all required modifications of units of the project must be
corrected prior to the approval of the final map, or, upon approval of the planning commission,
funds shall be adequately escrowed, prior to the closing of escrow of a unit, to assure completion
thereafter of such corrective work.
(b) Specific Physical Standards. In addition to any other requirements, the following specific
standards and requirements shall be met:
(1) Fire Prevention—Smoke Detectors and Sprinklers. Each condominium unit whether
residential, commercial, industrial or office, shall be provided with a fire sprinkler system and
approved detectors of products of combustion other than heat conforming to the latest California
Building and Fire Code standards most recently adopted by the City of Burlingame and any local
amendments thereto.

Annotated Text. Revisions to Condominium Conversion Regulations to address the El Camino North(ECN)and
Trousdale West(TI9 Zoning Districts August],2007
Annotation:
In this context the term `latest' CBC or CFC could be misunderstood. What is
intended is that the conversion would be required to comply with the current, in
effect at the time of project application, city adopted and amended building and fire
code requirement for sprinkling. Since the city's amendments to the CFC for
residential sprinkling are very specific and currently may be more restrictive than the
CBC or CFC, it is important to let developers know this up front and not have it
become a matter of dispute later.
(2) Sound Transmission.
(A) Shock Mounting of Mechanical Equipment. All permanent mechanical equipment, such
as motors, compressors, pumps and compactors which are determined by the chief building
official to be a source of structural vibration or structure-borne noise shall be shock mounted
with inertia blocks or bases and/or vibration isolators in a manner approved by the chief building
official.
(B) Noise Standards. The structure shall conform to all exterior and interior sound
transmission standards of the California Building Code and the city's general plan. In those cases
where present standards cannot reasonably be met, the planning commission may require the
applicant to notify potential buyers of the noise deficiency currently existing within these units.
(3) Utility Metering.
(A) The consumption of gas and electricity within each unit shall be separately metered so
that the unit owner can be separately billed for each utility. A water shut-off valve shall be
provided for each unit or for each plumbing fixture. The planning commission may find at the
time of approval that individual metering of gas and electricity is impractical and excessively
expensive and waive those requirements. Each unit having individual meter(s) or heater(s) shall
have access to its own meter(s) and heater(s) which shall not require entry through another unit.
(B) Each unit shall have its own panel, or access thereto, for all electrical circuits which
serve the unit.
(4) Private Storage Space. Each unit shall have at least two hundred (200) cubic feet of
enclosed, weather-proofed, and lockable private storage space in addition to guest, linen, pantry
and clothes closets customarily provided. Such space may be provided in any location approved
by the planning commission, but shall not be divided into two (2) or more locations. In cases
where the developer can demonstrate that this standard cannot reasonably be met, this standard
may be modified by the planning commission.
(5) Laundry Facilities in Residential Projects. For residential projects, either a laundry area
8
Annotated Text: Revisions to Condominium Conversion Regulations to address the El Camino North(ECN)and
Trousdale West(T{9 Zoning Districts August 1,2007
in each unit or common laundry areas shall be provided; provided such facilities shall consist of
not less than one automatic washer and dryer for each common five (5) units or fraction thereof.
In such cases where the developer can demonstrate that this standard cannot reasonably be met,
this standard may be modified by the planning commission.
(6) Landscape Maintenance. All landscaping shall be restored or replanted as necessary
taking into consideration shade and sun patterns on the site and shall be irrigated and maintained
to achieve a high degree of appearance and quality; front setback landscaping may be fifty (50)
percent to provide for an on-site delivery area and, with a special permit, landscaping may be
reduced to forty-five (45)percent of the front setback if a circular driveway is provided; if the
front setback is altered to provide on-site parking for delivery vehicles or to provide a circular
driveway, the front setback shall be re-landscaped with the emphasis on planting large scale and
more vertical plant material which will frame and screen the view of the structure from the street
and turf and ground cover areas in the front setback shall be minimized.
(7) Condition of Equipment and Appliances. The developer shall provide written
certification to the buyer of each unit at the close of escrow that any dishwashers, garbage
disposals, stoves, refrigerators, hot water tanks, air conditioners and any other major appliances
that are provided are in operable working condition as of the close of escrow. At such time as the
homeowners association takes over management of the development, the developer shall provide
written certification to the association that any pool and pool equipment (filter, pumps,
chlorinator) and any appliances and mechanical equipment to be owned in common by the
association is in operable working condition.
(8) Refurbishing and Restoration. All main buildings, structures, fences, patio enclosures,
carports, accessory buildings, sidewalks, driveways, landscaped areas and additional elements as
required by the Planning community development department shall be refurbished and restored as
necessary to achieve a high degree of appearance, quality and safety. (Ord. 1206 § 2 (part),
(1981); Ord. 1707 § 2, (2003))

Annotation:
Since this section is the same as the `minimum development requirements' section in
the Condominium Subdivision code section (26.30.070) it is simpler to incorporate it
by reference and reduce the possibility of making a drafting error. In addition CS
26.30.070 has been revised to address the impacts on the condominium subdivision
regulations caused by the TW and ECN districts. By referencing 26.30.070 this section
will incorporate those changes into the condominium conversion standards. It should
be noted that in the TW and ECN districts there are differences in location of private
open space (not required until above the third floor) and common open space (can be
provided in a roof garden). These differences and other differences in the regulations
would be allowed in a conversion to condominium in those zoning districts.

26.32.090 Hearing.
At the time of the hearing on the tentative map, the planning commission shall also hold a
hearing on the conversion permit. Notice of the hearing shall be given to all tenants of the
proposed conversion and posted on the property. (Ord. 1206 § 2 (part), (1981); Ord. 1707 § 2,
(2003))
26.32.100 Hearing considerations.
At the hearing on the application for conversion to condominiums,the planning commission
shall consider the following:
(a) The opinions of the tenants of the project as to whether the proposed conversion protects
their interests;
(b) Whether or not the amount and impact of the displacement of tenants, if the conversion is
approved, would be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community;
(c) The role that the commercial, industrial, office or apartment structure plays in the
existing rental market for that use and whether this role is substantially altered by the proposed
conversion in the light of the tenant protection provisions in this code. Particular emphasis
should be placed on the evaluation of rental structures to determine if the existing building is
serving low and moderate income tenants, or special groups of tenants such as elderly or
handicapped;
(d) If applicable,whether or not lower cost home ownership opportunities will be increased
by the conversion of apartments to condominiums, stock cooperatives or community apartments;
and
(e) Whether tenants will have substantial difficulty in obtaining comparably priced facilities.
(Ord. 1206 § 2 (part), (1981); Ord. 1707 § 2, (2003))
26.32.110 Findings.
The planning commission shall not issue a permit for condominium conversion unless the
planning commission finds that:
(a) All provisions of this chapter are met;
(b) The proposed conversion is consistent with the city's general plan;
13
Annotated Text. Revisions to Condominium Conversion Regulations to address the El Camino North (ECN)and

(,-,) The proposed conversion will conform to this code and other applicable code provisions,
if ar._y, in effect at the time of tentative map approval, except as otherwise provided in this
chapter or specifically excepted by the planning commission; and
(d) The overall design and physical condition of the condominium conversion achieves a
higL.degree of appearance, quality, and safety. (Ord. 1206 § 2 (part), (1981); Ord. 1707 § 2,

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBMITTED BY:
DATE: October 5, 2007 APPROVED BY: /
FROM: William Meeker, Community Development Director— (650) 558-17255
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE
TROUSDALE WEST (TW) AND EL CAMINO NORTH (ECN) ZONING DISTRICTS TO
MAKE THEM CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF PARKING, HEIGHT AND MIXED USE.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council should hold a public hearing and take action on the proposed ordinance to amend the zoning
regulations for the Trousdale West (TW) and EI Camino Real North (ECN) zoning districts for consistency
between these two zones located at the north end of Burlingame. Affirmative action should be to adopt the
proposed ordinance. In its action, the Council should:
1. Adopt the proposed ordinance; and
2. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance within 15 days of adoption.
The public hearing for action was noticed in a newspaper of general circulation (San Mateo County Times) on
October 5, 2007.
CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCTION:
On October 1, 2007, the City Council introduced the proposed ordinance to amend the zoning regulations for
the Trousdale West (TW) and EI Camino North (ECN) zoning districts. The Council, by a 5-0 vote, introduced
the ordinance, directed the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance and set the date for the second
reading of the ordinance on October 15, 2007.
GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE:
The Trousdale West (TW) and EI Camino North (ECN) zoning districts were adopted in 2005 and 2007
respectively. The two zones were written to implement the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan
adopted by the City Council and amended to the Burlingame General Plan in September 2004. The
provisions of the ECN and TW zoning districts are also consistent with the proposed amendments to the EI
Camino Real Gateway Corridor Subarea proposed in the November 15, 2006, revisions to the North
Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan. The provisions in the proposed ordinance are consistent with the
plan because they are taken from the land use element and design guidelines in that adopted plan. The
North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan was adopted as a refinement to the 1969 General Plan which
was instrumental in establishing the existing land use pattern for this area. The EI Camino North district
consists of all the area between EI Camino Real on the west, Murchison Drive (the northern City boundary)
on the north, the CalTrain tracks on the east, and the rear of the properties with frontage on Dufferin Avenue
on the south. The Trousdale West (TW) zone encompasses the land on the west side of EI Camino between
Murchison and Trousdale, and bounded on the west side by to Marco Polo extended to Ogden Roads.
PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE TROUSDALE WEST(TM AND EL CAMINO NORTH(ECN)
ZONING DISTRICTS TO MAKE THEM CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF PARKING,HEIGHT AND MIXED USE.
October 15,2007
CEQA COMPLIANCE:
Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15305— Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations, Class 5
consists of minor alterations inland use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%,which do
not result in any changes in land use or density.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes for consistency between the ECN and TW zones
at their study session on July 23, 2007. At that meeting they did not suggest any amendments to the
proposed changes.At the Commission meeting on August 13, 2007,the Commission held a public hearing
on the proposed changes which address parking, height and mixed use provisions. There were no
comments from the public.The Commission voted 6-0-1 (C.Brownrigg absent)to recommend to Council for
action, the changes to achieve consistency in the parking, height and mixed use requirements in the two
zones.
BACKGROUND:
To implement the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan, the City adopted two new zoning districts,
Trousdale West (TW) and EI Camino North (ECN). These two district encompass most of the area
immediately around Peninsula Hospital east to California Drive;and from Dufferin Avenue on the south to the
City Line(Murchison Drive)on the north. The development policies for these two zoning districts within the EI
Camino Corridor are very similar. However,the zoning regulations were developed sequentially first TW(in
2005)then ECN (in 2007)over an 18 month period. The concepts of how to implement the plan matured
during the process of developing the two districts.
When the Planning Commission and Council reviewed the ECN district,they noted specific concepts in the
ECN zone which should be incorporated into the TW zone. At the same time staff was directed to update the
condominium requirements so that the new approaches to development regulation used for residential and
commercial development in the TW and ECN zones would be consistent. In addition,while working on the
update of the condominium regulations staff noted some clarifying changes which also needed to be added to
these two districts,as well as needing to add a definition for unistall parking spaces to the zoning regulations.
All of the changes proposed are documented in the annotations to the amendments and corrections of the
Trousdale West(TW)and EI Camino North(ECN)district regulations attached.
A summary of the proposed changes follows:
Trousdale West(TW)Zoning District
• Height: maximum height of residential structures is limited to 60 feet,with an incentive of 75 feet if
affordable units are provided for 30 years.
• Mixed Use: an incentive is provided for mixed use by allowing a height of 75 feet on Trousdale.
Mixed uses on Magnolia(facing the Plaza Shopping Center)are limited to 60 feet.
• Mechanical penthouses which cover 5%or less of the roof area and have a maximum height of 10
feet are exempt from height measurements.
• On corner lots the maximum height for the entire structure is the maximum height allowed at the front
of the lot.
• Same special parking requirements as ECN: Unistall parking (all spaces 8.5' x 18' except ADA) is
allowed with an additional foot for a confined space, required back-up aisles are defined,and mixed
use buildings with office over 20,000 SF may use a 1:300SF parking ratio for medical office.

• Editorial correction to underground garages section, remove reference to limitations because there
are none.
• Amend unistall dimension requirements to include an additional foot in width when unistall spaces are
confined.
CS 25.08 Definitions
• Add a definition to the Zoning Code for unistall parking (a parking stall which is 8.5 feet by 18 feet with
a standard back up/circulation aisle.
STAFF COMMENTS:
All of these proposed changes were reviewed, and directed to be amended to the Trousdale West (TW) zone
by the Planning Commission and Council at the time the EI Camino North (ECN) zoning district was adopted.
The only exceptions were the editorial correction to the ECN zone and the addition of 'unistall' to the
definitions section of the zoning code. During the Planning Commission review of the proposed ordinance,
the language in the ordinance and in the annotated text has been revised to include the edits made by the
City Attorney. These changes were noted at the Planning Commission study meeting and are not
substantive, but clarify the language or make the proposed language more consistent with the existing
language in Municipal Code Chapter 25, zoning.

25.40.060 Height and Lot Coverage.
(a) Minimum required heights.
(1) Trousdale Drive, Murchison Drive, or Magnolia Drive. Any structure
containing a dwelling or commercial use with a lot front on Trousdale Drive, Murchison
Drive or Magnolia Drive shall be at least three (3) stories or thirty-five (35) feet in
height, whichever is greater;
(2) Ogden Drive and Marco Polo Way. Any structure containing a dwelling or
commercial use with a lot front on Ogden Drive or Marco Polo Way shall be at least two
(2) stories or twenty-four (24) feet in height, whichever is greater.
(b) Maximum allowed height.
(1) Residential structures with a lotfront on Trousdale Drive. Residential
structures without any commercial uses shall have a maximum height of sixty-two (62)
feet. Residential structures that meet the city's inclusionary housing requirements shall
have a maximum height of seventy-five (75)feet, if the inclusionary units are provided for
a minimum of thirty (30)years;
Annotation:
In the ECN district the Commission proposed to use additional height as an
incentive in multi-family development to retain the required affordable units
for a longer period of time. When the ECN district was adopted it was
suggested by City Council that this incentive be included in the TW zoning
requirements as well.
(2)Mixed commercial and residential structures.
a. Mixed commercial and residential structures with a lot front on
Trousdale Drive shall have a maximum height of seventy-five (75)feet.
b. Mixed commercial and residential structures with a lot front on
Magnolia Drive shall have a maximum height of sixty (60)feet.
Annotation:
Mixed use zoning (multiple family and office uses) is encouraged in the TW
zoning district, except on Marco Polo, where office uses are not allowed. To
encourage the mix of office and residential uses in a single building the
Planning Commission suggested using a height incentive e.g. 62 feet to 75 feet.
During adoption of the ECN zone it was suggested that this same height
incentive be incorporated into the TW district regulations. Not only would it
provide incentive to mixed use but it would make the requirements of these
2

two adjacent zoning districts more consistent and easier to administer.
(3) Marco Polo Way, Ogden Drive,Murchison Drive, and Magnolia Drive. No
structure with a lot front on Marco Polo Way, Ogden Drive,Murchison Drive, or
Magnolia Drive shall exceed sixty(60) feet in height.
(4) The maximum height on any parcel maybe exceeded by a mechanical
penthouse with a maximum height of ten (10)feet as measured from the adjacent roof
surface and covering no more than five (5)percent of the roof area.
Annotation:
This provision was added to the ECN regulations after a discussion of how
height is measured. It was determined that the standard should be added to
the zoning regulations. For consistency and clarity it has been added to the TW
regulations as well.
(5) On corner lots, the maximum height allowed for the lot front shall be the
maximum height allowed for the entire structure.
Annotation:
The North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan provides specific direction on
how the height of a building should be determined on corner lots (page 53).
Since the zoning was not explicit and the plan includes emphasis on a
consistent `street wall', a section was added to the zoning to reflect the
direction for determining height on corner lots in the plan e.g. that the overall
height of the building should be determined by the allowed height at the lot
front (the shorter street frontage).
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, maximum heights are also
subject to further limitation by the Federal Aviation Administration.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no variance shall be granted
or approved to exceed the maximum heights established in subsections (b) and (c) above.
(e) Maximum Lot Coverage. The maximum lot coverage is fifty (50) percent,
except as expressly provided in section 25.40.025.

There is no change from the current to the language in sections (c), (d) and

Annotated Text: Proposed Amendments and Corrections to the Text of the Trousdale West(Tug and El
Camino North(ECN)Zoning District Regulations August],2007
Add Code Section 25.40.100 Special Parking Requirements
Annotation:
As the ECN district developed, the Commission continued to look for incentives
to encourage the kind of mixed use and high density residential development
which would implement the development objectives of the Specific Plan.
Parking has long been a driving factor in residential density in Burlingame, so
the idea of reducing the parking requirement was not attractive. However,
modifying the parking stall size did provide an opportunity to increase the
parking efficiency while retaining the overall parking requirements. In acting
on the ECN district the Planning Commission recommended to City Council, and
Council agreed, that the uninstall parking incentive used in the ECN district be
included in the TW district. The regulations follow with adjustment for the
specific uses allowed in TW and to include the requirement that when the

foot wider e.g. 9 '/z feet. For example no mixed use with retail uses is
allowed in TW so no parking provision is made for that use.

(a) Underground garages in setback areas. Garages may be constructed entirely
below ground level and such underground garages may project into any
required yard or building setback area;
(b) Unistalls. All parking stalls may be unistall parking spaces, however all
disabled accessible parking spaces shall meet the dimensions required in the
California Building Code in effect at the time a project is submitted for city
review. No compact parking stalls shall be allowed if any unistall parking
space is used for any required parking.
(c) Aisle Dimensions. All aisles within a parking area shall be as follows:

This change addresses an editing problem created during the preparation of the
ECN district regulations. The intention of the provision was to allow garages to
be built to property lines in the ECN zone. Currently, along the narrower
portion of El Camino, underground garages cannot be built within 20 feet of a
site's property line on El Camino Real.
Amend Definitions Section Ch. 25.08
Add Definition CS 25.08.521 "Parking space,Unistall"
"Unistall parking space"means a parking layout in which all the parking spaces
shall have the same eight and one-half(8 1/2) feet by eighteen(18) feet dimension unless
the unistall space is confined by a structure, wall or fence along one or both lateral sides,
then the minimum width shall be nine (9 1/2) feet.
Annotation:
Since unistall parking spaces are a new concept in the current zoning code,
staff suggested that a definition be added to facilitate the use of the zoning
regulations.

FROM: William Meeker, Community Development Director— (650) 558'=7255
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE 25, CHAPTER
25.70 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH PARKING STANDARDS FOR
ANIMAL SHELTERS
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should hold a public hearing and take action on the proposed ordinance which would
amend the zoning regulations to establish parking standards for animal shelters. Affirmative action
should be to adopt the proposed ordinance. In its action, the Council should:
1. Adopt the proposed ordinance; and
2. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance within 15 days of adoption.
The public hearing for action was noticed in a newspaper of general circulation (San Mateo County
Times) on October 5, 2007.
CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCTION:
On October 1, 2007, the City Council introduced the proposed ordinance to amend the zoning
regulations to establish parking standards for animal shelters. The Council, by a 5-0 vote, introduced the
ordinance, directed the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance and set the date for the second
reading of the ordinance on October 15, 2007.
BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 2007, the City Council approved a project for a Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA
facility at 1450 Rollins Road/20 Edwards Court. The action taken by the City Council included action on
the Final Environmental Impact Report, the Conditional Use Permit and Design Review for the
construction of the proposed facility, and a determination of the parking standard for animal
shelter/rescue facility uses.
The Zoning Code does not include a specific standard for an animal shelter/rescue facility use.
However, the code provides a process for establishing the on-site parking requirement for unique uses
which are not covered by the City's parking schedule. Code Section 25.70.042 describes the items
which should be included in the evaluation and requires, in the case of such use, that the City Planner
(now Community Development Director) make the determination on the parking requirement for the
specific use. In this case, a parking needs study of similar facilities in the Bay Area was undertaken by a
traffic engineer to determine the parking standard.
The proposed standard of one space per 625 square feet of floor area is based on the peak daytime
parking usage for an animal shelter and would account for the parking needs of both employees and
visitors to the site. Based on the documentation provided, the City Planner accepted the on-site parking
requirement established by the study prepared by the traffic engineer of 1.56 parking spaces per 1,000
CITY COUNCIL MEETING—October 15,2007
Public Hearing and Action on an Ordinance to Establish Parking Standards for Animal Shelters
square feet for the proposed use. For the purposes of the Zoning Code amendment,the requirement
established by the parking needs study was converted to one space for every 625 square feet of floor
area to be compatible with the format used for other uses.
As a part of the project review,the Planning Commission and City Council also considered what parking
standard would be applied to any outdoor habitat such as an aviary included as a part of an animal
shelter facility. It was determined that since the area is primarily habitat for animals and there are a
limited number of employees attributable to this outdoor area,that a standard of one parking space per
5,000 square feet of aviary or other outdoor habitat would be adequate to account for the parking needs
of that space.
The attached memorandum from the City Attorney dated May 30, 2007 was included in the Council's
packet for consideration of the parking determination, and summarizes the findings of the analysis
prepared by Fehr and Peers, traffic consultants. The memorandum also provides rationale for
establishing a standard for outdoor habitats.
The determination regarding the appropriate parking requirement for an animal shelter was made in the
action on the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA project. The purpose of the proposed ordinance is
to place that determination in the Zoning Code for ease of reference and to affirm the Council's earlier
determination on the matter.
Environmental Review Status: The determination regarding the appropriate parking standards for
animal shelters was considered and reviewed in the Final Environmental Impact Report prepared for the
Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA Project at 1450 Rollins Road/20 Edwards Court and certified by
the City Council on June 18,2007. The adoption of an ordinance to codify this determination falls within
the scope of the project as evaluated in the certified Final Environmental Impact Report,and does not
represent a substantial change in the project. Furthermore,there have been no substantial changes in
circumstances or new information made available since the time the EIR was certified. Therefore, no
further environmental review is required.
Planning Commission Action: On August 27,2007,the Planning Commission held a public hearing
and voted 4-2-1 (Commissioners Auran and Osterling dissenting; Commissioner Terrones absent) to
recommend approval of the proposed ordinance establishing parking standards for animal shelters. The
dissenting commissioners indicated that they would not support the ordinance because they feel that the
parking requirement for open-air habitats should be the same as for the remainder of the animal shelter
facility.

the Commission may consider two alternatives:
1. Recommend the proposed ordinance to the City Council for action; or
2. Direct staff to make adjustments to the ordinance and refer it back to the Commission for

CITY OF BURLINGAME
CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: May 30, 2007
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Larry. E. Anderson, City Attorney
RE : Parking Determination for Animal Shelters and Animal Rescue Facilities
One of the decisions that the Council is being asked to make as part of the appeal of the Planning
Commission's decision on the proposed project at 1450 Rollins Road is what the parking
requirement for animal shelters and animal rescue facilities should be. This determination would
apply to any future applications for such facilities in the City and will eventually be placed in the
Zoning Code itself.
Fehr & Peers, the subconsultant to Impact Sciences in preparing the EIR, surveyed three Bay Area
facilities to determine parking demand, and found that the observed peak parking demand at the
facilities was in the range of 1 .08 per thousand square feet (San Jose) to 2.23 per thousand square
feet (Tony La Russa). Tri-Valley SPCA in Dublin had so little traffic because of the way in which
its facility is operated that only a few parking spaces seemed necessary.
Kevin Guibara, an owner of property near the proposed project, has calculated the numbers
differently and believes that Fehr & Peers' numbers are incorrect. Mr. Guibara found a reference
that indicates that the San Jose facility may actually have 43,500 square feet, rather than 50,000
square feet as found by Fehr & Peers. Mr. Guibara points out that this would push the lower range
value up to 1.24 per thousand square feet, and the calculated average up to 1 .73 per thousand square
feet.
Staff obtained the project drawings for the San Jose facility, which are attached. Measured by
Burlingame square footage standards for parking,the facility seems to actually exceed 50,000 square
feet (see also attached San Francisco Chronicle article on facility's opening). In addition, the facility
has an outdoor exercise/training area of some 18,000 square feet that is above and beyond the square
footage of the enclosed facility (the proposed project in Burlingame has an indoor exercise area).
Therefore, the San Jose facility parking demand ratio determined by Fehr & Peers may actually
overstate the ratio if some or all of the exercise area is added to the facility's square footage.
Staff also followed up by speaking with planners in Santa Clara, Walnut Creek, Dublin, and San
Jose, staff found that none of the four cities had an adopted standard; each had followed a different
path in approving each facility. Parking ratios ranged from 1 space per 1,433 square feet to 1 space
per 269 square feet. However, Santa Clara had based the parking analysis on number of employees.
Outdoor exercise areas were apparently not counted in any of these calculations. None of the
Mayor and Council

Re: Parking Determination for An

planners reported any parking problems at any of the facilities. In response to the concerns expressed
at the Planning Commission hearing, staff has also done further research on adopted parking
standards that other communities use for animal shelters and animal rescue facilities.
With regard to specific parking standards for animal shelters,the requirements range from 1 space
per 400 square feet (2.5 per thousand square feet) in Encinitas (Section 30.54.030) to 1 space per
2000 square feet(0.5 per thousand square feet) in Seattle (Chart A to Section 23.54.015).
With regard to accessory outdoor habitats such as aviaries, staff did not find any standards.
However, greenhouses might be viewed as a similar type of use. The City of Encinitas applies a
standard of 3 parking spaces per acre (0.07 per thousand square feet) to greenhouses (Section
30.54.030). The City& County of San Francisco applies a standard of 1 parking space per 4,000
square feet (0.25 per thousand square feet) for greenhouses (Article 1.5, Section 151 of Planning
Code).
The Burlingame Planning Commission determined that a parking ratio of 1.6 parking spaces per
thousand square feet(or 1 parking space per 625 square feet)for an animal shelter or animal rescue
facility was a good standard to apply to such uses in the City.' In addition, the Commission
determined that when used in conjunction with such animal shelter or rescue facility, an aviary
would require 1 parking space. This was based on the analysis that found that the presence of one
employee on the project site would be attributable to the aviary.
While staff believes that the 1.6 parking space ratio is supportable and well-defined,the one parking
space for the aviary may be a bit vague for future applications and projects. Therefore, staff
recommends that the Council consider further defining the outdoor habitat or aviary requirement by
placing an actual ratio on the use,such as the number of employees attributable to the outdoor habitat
or aviary(one parking space per employee attributable). An alternative would be to establish a ratio
based on square footage, such as 1 parking space per 4,000 or 5,000 square feet of aviary.
Therefore, in making its determination on the parking standard to be applied, the Council should
determine the following:
'Fehr and Peers used a straight averaging of the two facilities it surveyed and derived a
peak parking demand of 1.66 per thousand square feet. Fehr&Peers memo of May 23, 2007, at
page 2. However, if one were to use a weighted average (which might make more sense in
leavening the different aspects of such a facility),the calculation comes out as follows:
(1 08 X 50,000 sf)+ (2.23 X 37,000 sf)= 1.57 parking spaces per thousand sf
50,000 sf+37,700 sf

a) What is the appropriate parking standard ratio for the enclosed animal shelter/animal
rescue facility? The Planning Commission has recommended a standard of 1.6 parking spaces per
thousand square feet.
b) What is the appropriate parking standard for an outdoor habitat such as an aviary in
conjunction with another use? The Planning Commission has recommended a standard of one
parking space,and staff recommends that this be further refined by either requiring a parking space
per employee attributable to the habitat,or a set parking space per thousand square feet such as one
space per 4,000 square feet of habitat.

SUBJECT: INTRODUCE ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
ADOPT THE 2007 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODES WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS
INTRODUCTION:
The City Council should review the proposal to amend the building regulations by adopting the most
recent edition of the California Building Codes including local amendments. Council should review the
proposed amendments with staff and suggest any changes, if necessary, and introduce the ordinance.
The following actions should be taken to introduce the ordinance to amend the building code regulations:
1. Request the City Clerk to read the title of the proposed ordinance.
2. Waive further reading of the ordinance.
3. Introduce the proposed ordinance.
4. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance at least five days before the proposed
adoption.
BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Commission was established in 1953 and is appointed by the
Governor. Since 1978 all proposed regulations promulgated by the various state agencies must be
reviewed and approved by the Building Standards Commission. In January 2007 the Building Standards
Commission unanimously voted to adopt the most up-to-date edition of the model codes as amended by
those various state agencies. On July 1, 2007 the California Building Codes were published. Within 180
days of that publication date all local jurisdictions are required by State law to adopt and to enforce the
most recent codes reviewed and approved by the California Building Standards Commission. The new
codes will become effective on January 1, 2008. Adoption of the 2007 California Building Codes will
finalize the effort to standardize building codes nationwide that began in 1994.
ALTERNATIVE:
The City Council may choose not to adopt the new editions of the California Codes. If it chooses this
option then the Burlingame City Code will default to the new California Codes as prescribed by State law.
Without adopting amendments or modifications the local geographic, topographic, and climatic conditions
unique to the City of Burlingame will not be addressed.
Attachments:

7 The City Council of the City of Burlingame ordains as follows:
8
9 Section 1. The City of Burlingame is located between the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills
10 and San Francisco Bay, with a number of substantial creeks flowing through highly developed
11 residential and industrial areas. It is surrounded by large areas of open space maintained in
12 natural condition, as well as having a significant natural canyon in the center of the residential
13 area. Strong winds come down the foothills during both the driest and the wettest parts of the
14 year. The City is directly east of the San Andreas Fault, and much of the highly developed part
15 of the City is located along the front of the Bay, much of it on fill. The United States Geologic
16 Survey, the California Division of Mines and Geology, and the Association of Bay Area
17 Governments have extensively mapped the area for such earthquake probabilities. The foothill
18 areas have a variety of soil formations with steep canyons and heavy precipitation. Much of the
19 City has a high water table. Fires in the community could quickly spread because of the
20 extensive, natural vegetation throughout the City. The City has a number of highly developed
21 commercial areas with older buildings, and an industrial area that is filled with mixed uses
22 utilizing various materials that could be highly hazardous. In addition,heavily traveled approach
23 and departure routes for San Francisco International Airport are immediately adjacent or over the
24 City. The City is also located in a national climate zone that is designated"Very High" on the
25 Termite Infestation Probability Map. The City has worked with other jurisdictions on the San
26 Francisco Peninsula to establish consistent standards to minimize the impact that varying
27 standards might have on development and redevelopment of both residential and commercial
28 buildings. It is only through strong building standards and effective fire prevention and
1
I containment programs that citizens will receive the protection they deserve, and that citizens will
2 be able to obtain reasonably priced insurance for their homes and businesses. In seeking to attain
3 these goals, the building standards in Title 18 have been and are adopted.
4
5 Section 2. In addition, in order to provide appropriate, clear information to applicants for
6 construction approvals, Section 18.07.050 is adopted to conform Title 18 to Zoning Code
7 requirements established in the Municipal Code.
8
9 Section 3. The City operates its own sanitary sewer system and water quality control
10 plant and is subject to State and Federal laws regarding both point and non-point discharges.
11 Sections 18.07.060, 18.08.010, 18.12.080, 18.12.090, 18.12.100, 18.12.110, 18.12.115,
12 18.12.120, and 18.12.125 are intended to assist the City in meeting its responsibilities regarding
13 those laws as well as protecting the public safety and welfare.
14
15 Section 4. The City also operates its own water supply system for its citizens. Sections
16 18.07.060, 18.12.050, 18.12.060, 18.12.070, and 18.12.100 are intended to provide consistent
17 policy regarding water service installations and to protect the public's water supply.

RECOMMENDATION:
Make a formal recommendation to the City of Burlingame and to the Town of Hillsborough to modify
the following:
Burlingame Municipal Code
17.04.010 Repeal all existing language and adopt the building standards contained in the 2007 California
Fire Code (International Fire Code, 2006 Edition as amended by the State of California), and
the non-building standards known as the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition together with all
Appendices.
BACKGROUND:
For the first time in nearly ten years, California will have a complete set of building codes based on the latest
national and international model building codes,making use of the most current technologies and methods of
construction.
On January 29, 2007 the California Building Standards Commission(CBSC) adopted the above referenced
codes as the California Building Standards Code to be contained in Title 24 California Code of Regulations.
These codes will become effective for enforcement 180 days after publication. The CBSC in cooperation with
the publisher expects publication date to be approximately July 1St, 2007 with an expected enforcement date of
January 2'd, 2008. Central County Fire Department shall be the enforcing authority having jurisdiction and as
such coordination for adoption with Town of Hillsborough will be made to ensure each adoption is completed
in order to match each jurisdictions effective date of enforcement with that of the State of California's January
3rd, 2008 enforcement date.
Existing ordinances were researched and justified for continued enforcement. Some local ordinances have
been codified by the newly adopted codes and/or minimum state regulations.
The Central County Fire Department worked regionally with the cities of San Mateo, Millbrae, San Bruno and
the San Mateo County Fire Department to develop a single set of local ordinances which would streamline
construction processes, provide consistency to ordinances intended to complement emergency response
tactical needs, as well as promote economic development. Our group has worked cooperatively to review all
regional ordinances currently in existence and verifying that they are in the best interests of our communities
and based upon climatic, geological or topographical conditions consistent with California State Law.

2 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE
BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2007
3 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE (TITLE 24, PART 9, CFC)AND THE 2006 EDITION OF
THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE
4
5 The City Council of the City of Burlingame ordains as follows:
6
7 Section 1. The City of Burlingame is located between the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills
8 and San Francisco Bay,with a number of substantial creeks flowing through highly developed
9 residential and industrial areas. It is surrounded by large areas of open space maintained in
10 natural condition, as well as having a significant natural canyon in the center of the residential
11 area. The City normally receives no measurable precipitation between May and October , and it
12 can often extend into late October or early November. During this period, average temperatures
13 range between 70° F and 90°F, and strong winds come down the foothills. These conditions
14 eliminate most of the moisture in the natural vegetation and heavily wooded hillsides. The area
15 also suffers periodic droughts that extend the dry periods to other months of the year. In
16 addition, many wood roofs over wood construction predominate the residential areas. The City
17 is directly east of the San Andreas Fault, and much of the highly developed part of the City is
18 located along the front of the Bay, some on fill. The foothill areas have a variety of soil
19 formations with steep canyons and heavy precipitation. Fires in the community could quickly
20 spread because of the extensive, natural vegetation throughout the City. The City has a number
21 of highly developed commercial areas with older buildings, and an industrial area that is filled
22 with mixed uses utilizing various materials that could be highly hazardous. In addition, heavily
23 traveled approach and departure routes for San Francisco International Airport are immediately
24 adjacent or over the City. Much of the residential areas that are immediately adjacent to
25 woodland and canyon are served by narrow one- or two-lane roads with confused access caused
26 by the steepness of the terrain. Access by fire suppression equipment is extremely limited by
27 both topography and improved access. It is only through strong building standards and effective
28 fire prevention and containment programs that citizens will receive the protection they deserve,
1
I and that citizens will be able to obtain reasonably priced insurance for their homes and
2 businesses. In seeking to attain these goals, the fire prevention standards in Title 17 are adopted.
3
4 Section 2. In addition, in order to provide appropriate, clear information to applicants for
5 construction approvals, Section 17.04.020 is adopted to conform Title 17 to Title 18 and the
6 Zoning Code requirements established in the Municipal Code.
7
8 Section 3. The City operates its own sanitary sewer system and water quality control
9 plant and is subject to State and Federal laws regarding both point and non-point discharges.
10 Section 17.04.030 is adopted to ensure responsibility for hazardous materials and to clarify
11 liability to assist the City in meeting its responsibilities regarding those laws as well as protecting
12 the public safety and welfare.
13
14 Section 4. Chapter 17.04 is amended to read as follows:
15 Chapter 17.04
16 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE
17 17.04.010 Adoption of the California Fire Code and International Fire Code.

19
20 17.04.010 Adoption of text of the California Fire Code and the International Fire Code.
21 There is adopted by the city for the purpose of prescribing regulations governing
22 conditions hazardous to life and property from fire or explosion,that certain code which contains
23 building standards known as the 2007 California Fire Code (International Fire Code, 2006
24 Edition as amended by the State of California), and the non-building standards known as the
25 International Fire Code, 2006 Edition, together with all appendices and the State of California

Summary
In comparison to the 1997 Uniform fire Code (UFC), the 2006 International Fire Code
(IFC)has the following differences in it presentation:
• The IFC is only one volume instead of two. The second volume of the UFC
contains the referenced standards. The IFC has incorporated some of the
requirements of the standards into the TFC text, but most are left as separate
standards for the user to acquire as needed.
• IFC Chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10 are numbered to match the corresponding
chapters of the International Building Code regulating the same topics (Fire-
resistance-rated Construction; Interior Finish, Decorative Materials and
Furnishings; Fire Protection Systems and Means of Egress).
• Code section preceded by a letter in brackets indicates that changes to the
section would not be heard by the TCC Fire Code Development Committee,
but the ICC Code Development Committee indicated by the letter in brackets.
That is [B] represents the ICC Building Code Development Committee, [EB]
represents the ICC Existing Building Code Development Committee, [M]
represents the ICC Mechanical Code Development Committee, and [P]
represents the ICC Plumbing Code Development Committee.
UFC Chapter 1 (Administration) with five sections is replaced by IFC Chapter I
(Administration) with eleven sections,but it is a mostly a reorganization than
completely new provisions. IFC Section 105.6 does not require permits to use a
structure as an aircraft hangar for servicing or repairing aircraft, for asbestos-removal
operations, use a parade floats or handle or store radioactive materials. However,
permits are required for amusement buildings, exhibits and tradeshows, floor finishing,
HPM facilities, open flames and torches, rooftop heliports and tire-rebuilding plants.
The IFC Section 105.7 requires construction permits for the following categories:
automatic fire-extinguishing systems; battery systems with a liquid capacity greater
than 50 gallons; compressed gases; fire alarm and detection systems and related
equipment; fire pumps and related equipment; flammable and combustible liquids;
hazardous materials, industrial ovens; LP-gas; private fire hydrants; spraying or
dipping; standpipe systems; and temporary membrane structures, tents and canopies;
UFC Chapter 2 (Definitions and Abbreviations) is replaced by IFC Chapter 2
(Definitions). Words not defined in the IFC, but defined in the IBC, IFGC, IMC or IPC
shall have the same meaning as defined in those codes. All words, abbreviations or
terms defined in the IFC are listed in Section 202; however, if used in only one chapter
instead of generally in the IFC, the definition itself will be in the applicable chapter
instead of Chapter 2.
UFC Chapter 9 (Fire Department Access and Water Supply) is roughly equivalent to
IFC Chapter 5 (Fire Service Features). However, IFC Chapter 5 does not include
i 3/9/2007
sections equivalent to the UFC for recreational vehicles,mobile homes and
manufactured housing.
UFC Chapter 10 (Fire-protection Systems and Equipment) has been replaced by greatly
expanded Chapter 9 (Fire Protection Systems). IFC Chapter 9 has whole sections for
smoke control, smoke and heat vents, explosion control, fire department connections,
and fire pumps.
UFC Chapter 11 (General Safety Precautions) provisions are typically found in IFC
Chapter 3 (General Precaution Against Fire). However, IFC Chapter 3 contains
additional sections for Vehicle Impact Protection and Fueled Equipment, such as fuel-
powered gardening and cooking equipment. UFC Chapter i I's provisions regarding
incinerators, gas meters, heat-producing appliances, and sparks from chimneys are
found in IFC Chapter 6 (Building Services and Systems). UFC Chapter l I's provisions
regarding the maintenance of fire-resistive construction are found in IFC Chapter 7
(Fire-resistive-rated Construction). UFC Chapter 11's provisions regarding the
maintenance of interior walls and ceilings are found in IFC Chapter 8 (Interior Finish,
Decorative Materials and Furnishings) which are more specific than those found in the
UFC. The UFC Chapter 11 provisions relating to the storage of tires are replaced by
the IFC's tire storage provisions in IFC Chapter 25 (Tire Rebuilding and Tire Storage).
UFC Chapter 12 (Maintenance of the Means of Egress and Emergency Escapes) is
replaced by IPC Chapter 10 (Means of Egress) which is greatly expanded.
UFC Chapter 13 (Emergency Procedures)has been replaced by IFC Chapter 4
(Emergency Planning and Preparedness) which is almost three times larger. It also
adds a section to empower the fire code official to require a fire watch for places of
assembly or other large gatherings.
UFC Chapter 24 (Aviation Facilities) has been replaced with IFC Chapter 11 (Aviation
Facilities) with minor restructuring.
UFC Chapter 25 (Places of Assembly) has been replaced by sections in IFC Chapters 3
(General Precautions Against Fire), 4 (Emergency Planning and Preparedness), 8
(Interior Finish, Decorative Materials and Furnishings), 9 (Fire Protection Systems), 10
(Means of Egress) and 24 (Tents, Canopies and Other Membrane Structures).
UFC Chapter 27 (Cellulose Nitrate Plastics (Pyroxylin), Storage and Handling) has
been replaced with IFC Chapter 42 (Pyroxylin(Cellulose Nitrate) Plastics) with minor
restructuring.
UFC Chapter 28 (Storage and Handling of Combustible Fibers) has been replaced with
IFC Chapter 29 (Combustible Fibers) with minor restructuring.
ii 3/9/2007
UFC Chapters 29 (Repair Garages) and 52 (Motor Vehicle Fuel-dispensing Stations)
have been replaced by TFC Chapter 22 (Motor Fuel-Dispensing Facilities and Repair
Garages).
UFC Chapter 30 (Wood Products)has been replaced with IFC Chapter 19 (Lumber
Yards and Woodworking Facilities) with minor restructuring.
UFC Chapter 32 (Temporary Membrane Structures, Tents and Canopies)has been
replaced by IFC Chapter 24 (Tents, Canopies and Other Membrane Structures).
UFC Chapter 33 (Cellulose Nitrate Motion Picture Film)has been replaced by IFC
Section 306 (Motion Picture Projection Rooms and Film). Although IFC Section
105.6.5 requires permits for the storage of motion picture film, IFC Section 306 does
not reference permits. IFC Section 306 requires the film to be stored in accordance
with NFPA 40.
The IFC does not specifically regulate automobile wrecking as done by UFC Chapter
34 (Automobile Wrecking Yards). However, sections of IFC Chapters 3, 9, 22, 25, 26,
27, 30 and 34 may apply to automobile wrecking.
The IFC does not specifically regulate the operation of covered mall buildings as done
by UFC Chapter 35 (Cover Mall Buildings). IFC Section 914.2 specifically addresses
fire protection in covered mall buildings. However, other sections of IFC Chapters 3,
8, 9, 10 and 24 may also apply to covered mall buildings.
UFC Chapter 36 (Dry Cleaning) has been replaced by IFC Chapter 12 (Dry Cleaning).
IFC Chapter 12 classifies dry cleaning plants based upon the classification of the
solvent used and whether the plant is accessible to the public. Although similar, there
are several differences between the UFC and IFC dry cleaning provisions.
UFC Chapter 45 (Application of Flammable Finishes)has been replaced with IFC
Chapter 15 (Flammable Finishes) with moderate restructuring and the addition of
sections for the indoor manufacturing of reinforced plastics as well as for floor
surfacing and finishing operations.
UFC Chapter 46 (Fruit-ripening Processes)has been replaced with IFC Chapter 16
(Fruit and Crop Ripening) with minor restructuring and a new section for ethylene
generators.
UFC Chapter 47 (Fumigation and Thermal Insecticidal Fogging) has been replaced
with IFC Chapter 17 (Fumigation and Thermal Insecticidal Fogging) with minor
restructuring.
UFC Chapter 48 (Magnesium) has been replaced by Section 3606 in IFC Chapter 36
(Flammable Solids).
iii 3/9/2007
UFC Chapter 49 (Hot Work) has been replaced by IFC Chapter 26 (Welding and Other
Hot Work) with minor restructuring and new sections regulating calcium carbide
systems and acetylene generators.
UFC Chapter 50 (Manufacture of Organic Coatings)has been replaced with IFC
Chapter 20 (Manufacture of Organic Coatings) with minor restructuring.
UFC Chapter 51 (Semiconductor Fabrication Facilities) has been replaced with IFC
Chapter 18 (Semiconductor Fabrication Facilities) with minor restructuring.
UFC 52 (Motor Vehicle Fuel-dispensing Stations) and Chapters 29 (Repair Garages)
have been replaced by IFC Chapter 22 (Motor Fuel-Dispensing Facilities and Repair
Garages) which has an additional section for hydrogen motor fuel-dispensing and
generation facilities.
UFC Chapter 61 (Oil-burning Equipment)has been replaced by Section 603 in IFC
Chapter 6 (Building Services and Systems). The IFC has the same permit requirements
for fuel oil tanks.
UFC Chapter 62 (Industrial Baking and Drying Ovens)has been replaced by IFC
Chapter 21 (Industrial Ovens). Many of the UFC provisions are not found in the IFC,
but the IFC also has many provisions not found in the UFC. For example the IFC
classifies ovens or furnaces into depending upon flammability of the vapors and the
operating temperature and pressure. However, the UFC is more specific in specifying
the required flow rate of the fresh air into the oven.
UFC Chapter 63 (Refrigeration)has been replaced by Section 606 in IFC Chapter 6
(Building Services and Systems). The IFC references the IBC which does not require
the refrigeration machinery be separated from the remainder of the building if the area
with the refrigeration equipment is protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system (IBC
Section 508.2.2).
UFC Chapter 64 (Stationary Lead-acid Battery Systems) has been replaced by Section
608 in IFC Chapter 6 (Building Services and Systems). The IFC requires a permit to
install or construct a battery system,but not for its operation.
UFC Chapter 74 (Compressed Gases)has been replaced with IFC Chapter 30
(Compressed Gases) with minor restructuring.
UFC Chapter 75 (Cryogenic Fluids)has been replaced with IFC Chapter 32 (Cryogenic
Fluids) with minor restructuring.
UFC Chapter 76 (Prevention of Dust Explosions) has been replaced by IFC Chapter 13
(Combustible Dust-producing Operations). Chapter 13 does not specifically address
enclosures, separators, dust collection or electrical grounding, but the issues may be
covered by the referenced standards. While the UFC addresses explosion control by
iv 3/9/2007
requiring compliance with the Building Code,the IFC addresses explosion control by
referencing the ICC Electrical Code as well as eight referenced NFPA Standards for
specific industries or operations.
UFC Chapters 77 (Explosive Materials) and 78 (Fireworks and Pyrotechnics Special
Effects Materials)has been replaced by a single IFC Chapter 33 (Explosives and
Fireworks). However, IFC Chapter 33 is more than a renumbering of the UFC
provisions; it has been reformatted and uses the new United Nations and US
Department of Transportation designations. IFC Chapter 33 also has an additional
section regulating the indoor storage and display of black powder, smokeless
propellants, and small arms ammunition.
UFC Chapter 79 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids)has been replaced by IFC
Chapter 34 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids). Not all of the UFC provisions for
controlling sources of ignition were found in the IFC. Also the UFC provisions for
powered industrial truck operations and the maintenance of protected aboveground
tanks were not found in the IFC.
UFC Chapter 80 (Hazardous Materials) has been replaced by IFC Chapters 27
(Hazardous Materials General Provisions), 31 (Corrosive Materials), 32(Cryogenic
Fluids), 33 (Explosives and Fireworks), 35 (Flammable Gases), 36 (Flammable Solids),
37 (Highly Toxic and Toxic Materials), 39 (Organic Peroxides), 40 (Oxidizers), 41
(Pyrophoric Materials), 43 Unstable(Reactive) Materials) and 44 (Water-reactive
Solids and Liquids). The UFC provisions for radioactive materials, irritants,
sensitizers, and other health hazard were not found in the IFC.
UFC Chapter 81 (High-piled Combustible Storage)has been replaced with IFC Chapter
23 (High-piled Combustible Storage)with minor restructuring.
UFC Chapter 82 (Liquefied Petroleum Gases) has been replaced with IFC Chapter 38
(Liquefied Petroleum Gases) with minor restructuring.
UFC Chapter 84 (Motion Picture Projection)has been replaced by Section 306 in IFC
Chapter 3 (General Precaution Against Fire). The UFC provisions for safety film, fire
extinguishers in projection rooms, smoking, projection equipment and film storage
were not found in the IFC.
UFC Chapter 85 (Electrical Equipment and Wiring) has been replaced by Section 605
in IFC Chapter 6 (Building Services and Systems).
UFC Chapter 87 (Fire Safety During Construction) has been replaced by IFC Chapter
14 (Fire Safety During Construction and Demolition). IFC Chapter 14 does not contain
the UFC for maintaining fire sprinklers systems during demolition or having a suitable
fire hose being maintained at demolition sites. Neither does the IFC contain the UFC
provisions for regulating asbestos removal during demolition. However, the IFC
v 3/9/2007
Chapter 14 does have specific requirements for flammable gases, explosive materials
and reporting of fires.
UFC Chapter 88 (Aerosol Products) has been replaced with IFC Chapter 28 (Aerosols)
with minor restructuring and an additional section for aerosol manufacturing facilities.
UFC Chapter 90 (Standards)has been replaced by IFC Chapter 45 (Referenced
Standards). The UFC included standards in UFC Volume 2. The IFC does not.
IFC Chapter 25 (Tire Rebuilding and Tire Storage) replaces the UFC provisions for the
storage of tires, but it also addresses tire rebuilding which is not addressed in the UFC.

FROM: William Meeker, Community Development Director—(650) 558- 255
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGING PARTICIPATION IN THE SAN
MATEO COUNTY SUB-REGION FOR THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
ALLOCATION PROCESS (RHNA) AND ACCEPTING THE ASSIGNED HOUSING
SHARE FOR THE SAN MATEO COUNTY SUB-REGION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached "Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Burlingame, Accepting the Proposed Final Regional Housing needs Allocation (i.e. Revised Draft
Allocation) for the San Mateo County Sub-Region, and Consenting to a Sixty (60) Day Period during
which Member Jurisdictions may Appeal the Allocation".
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Government Code Sections 65584-65584.05, the 20 cities of San Mateo County and the
County of San Mateo have participated as members of a county-wide sub-region, an ad-hoc joint powers
authority formed specifically to locally administer the Association of Bay Area Governments' (ABAG's)
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process. A Policy Advisory Committee comprised of one
representative from each of the 21 jurisdictions acted as the governing board for the Sub-Region. The
Sub-Region was approved by ABAG in September 2006. The City/County Association of Governments
(C/CAG) has been selected to represent the Sub-Region.
The final methodology for determining housing needs shares was submitted to ABAG on March 27,
2007. In accordance with this methodology, a proposed draft allocation of housing shares for
jurisdictions in the San Mateo County Sub-Region was developed. The proposed allocation was
reviewed by the RHNA Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on June 7, 2007, and by the RHNA Policy
Advisory Committee (PAC) on June 14, 2007. At the TAC and PAC meetings in June, a preview of
possible adjustments (along with the final allocation that would result) based on discussions with member
jurisdictions was presented. Both committees unanimously approved the proposal, hence it was formally
adopted as the draft allocation. This was submitted to ABAG on June 21, 2007.
The adopted methodology included an opportunity for the cities and the County to negotiate additional
trades between willing partners. A letter was sent to all agencies suggesting that during July and August,
members of the Sub-Region that wish, may discuss and negotiate trades to the draft allocation that will
be incorporated in the proposed final allocation. To date, no additional trades have been identified. A
trade between the City of Redwood City and Woodside is still pending. The Sub-Region should preserve
the option for trades between any agencies through March 31, 2008 when ABAG formally adopts the
Sub-Regional Allocation for San Mateo County.
RHNA Housing Share Acceptance Resolution Page 2
City Council Agenda—October 15,2007
DISCUSSION:
Consistent with the guidelines, methodology,and schedule established by the State and ABAG,the San
Mateo County Sub-Region adopted the Proposed Final Allocation of Housing Shares (attached). The
proposed final allocation was reviewed by the RHNA TAC on August 23, 2007, and by the RHNA PAC
on August 30, 2007. Both committees unanimously approved the proposal, and it was submitted to
ABAG on August 31, 2007- The City of Burlingame's proposed allocation is 650 units. This allocation
will be used as the basis for the upcoming update of the City's Housing Element.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65584.05(d), the Sub-Region has opened an appeal
period that will run through October 30, 2007. During this period any member jurisdiction of the Sub-
Region may appeal the proposed Final Allocation. In November, the Sub-Region will adopt the Final
Allocation, including a provision that the Sub-Region consents a priori to any subsequent zero-sum
trades between consenting jurisdictions. The Sub-Region has requested that the option for trades
between any agencies be allowed up through March 31, 2008 when ABAG formally adopts the Sub-
Regional Allocation for San Mateo County.

DATE: October 3, 2007
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH ERLER & KALINOWSKI, INC. FOR FY 2007-08 PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT OF WATER SYSTEM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
PROGRAM, CITY PROJECT NO. 81970
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the attached resolution for
a Professional Services agreement with Erler & Kalinowski, Inc. (EKI) for water system
capital improvement program management in the amount of $230,000.
BACKGROUND: In July 2002, the Council approved an accelerated water system Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) to upgrade the 100 year old deteriorating water system. The
CIP program represented a 900% increase in the budget for water improvements over
previous years. Administering this size of program required consultant support so that staff
would continue to have the capacity to administer the remainder of the CIP program.
In July 2002, the City selected EKI to provide program management services through an
extensive consultant selection process. EKI has been successfully managing the CIP
program for the past five years.
DISCUSSION: The scope of services for FY 2007-08 Water System Program
Management includes the following:
• Perform plan review and project management of Trousdale Pump Station Expansion
and the Trousdale Transmission Main Projects
• Implement Hydro-pneumatic tank replacement project at Hillside and Skyview
reservoirs
• Assist the City in negotiating with San Francisco Public Utility Commission to avoid
impacts from Crystal Springs line project
• Prepare and update the CIP project cost estimates and update CIP program
• Negotiate and manage consultant and construction contracts for the CIP program
• Review and recommend water system standards
• Conduct weekly meetings during construction of the projects
• Conduct monthly update meetings
• Update the hydraulic model of water system
SAA Public Works Directory\Staff Reports\81970_EKI.doc
Staff believes that utilizing EKI as program manager is in the best interests of the City for
the following reasons:
• EKI has successfully provided program management services for the previous five
years and their fee continues to be reasonable and within industry standards.
• Because EKI has gained significant institutional knowledge of the City's water
system needs and acts as an extension to City staff, training a new program
manager in the middle of CIP program implementation would not be cost effective
and would impact existing project schedules.
• As a multi-disciplinary engineering firm, EKI is capable of bringing technical
resources to the program that would not otherwise be available if City staff were
managing the entire CIP program.
• EKI's management of the program has resulted in successfully replacing 20 miles of
deteriorated water pipe with minimal disruption to affected residents and very few
complaints.
The proposed $230,000 budget for the program management services represents
approximately 5% of the overall water capital improvement program budget of$4,500,000
for FY 2007-08. The program management costs, as a percentage of total water program
budget, is within the 5-7% range typical of similar programs being implemented by other
Bay Area agencies. It should be noted that separate contracts with professional consultants
and construction contractors will still be necessary to perform some of the activities cited
above. Staff will return to Council periodically in the future for approval of these contracts.
BUDGET IMPACT: There is sufficient funding available in the 2007-08 CIP budget which
is financed through water bond revenues.

improvement program ("Program") as described below:
BACKGROUND
Much of the City's current water system infrastructure is reportedly reaching the end of its useful
life, such that approximately 50 percent of the distribution system is at least 50 years old. As a
result, the City is improving or replacing portions of its water distribution system. Under a
separate Scope of Work, EKI prepared a Water System Master Plan ("WSMP") that presents an
approach to infrastructure improvements over a 30 year planning horizon. These improvements
include distribution system mains, storage facilities, transmission mains, pumping stations, and
SCADA systems. To address the aging water system, the City is implementing a Capital
Improvements Projects ("CIP") for improvements to the City's water system. The Program
addresses the tracking, planning, and implementation of the CIP projects.

not expend any budget under Program Element C without prior authorization from the City.
SCHEDULE
The schedule for implementation of this scope of work shall be upon a mutually agreeable
timeframe.
COMPENSATION FOR CONSULTING SERVICES
The scope of work assumed herein and the estimated budget identified in Table 1 are an estimate
of the anticipated tasks, level of effort, and costs to manage the currently anticipated CIP
projects during the 2007-2008 fiscal year. Both the City and EKI recognize that it is impossible
to accurately determine the complete scope of work and level of effort required to manage the
anticipated projects. Some tasks may actually require more effort than assumed herein and from
time to time additional tasks beyond those contemplated herein may arise. Therefore, this scope
of work and the estimated budget in Table 1 reflect the City's and EKI's current best ability to
determine the scope of work and budget.
In light of this uncertainty, EKI will submit with each invoice a comparison of the remaining
budget to the anticipated remaining level of effort to complete each task. If it becomes apparent
that an individual task will exceed it estimated budget, EKI will inform the City and include a
projected budget to complete the task. Additionally, at such time as significant new tasks are
identified, EKI will inform the City of the new task and, if possible, the estimated cost to
complete the newly identified task.
Inasmuch as the exact level of effort to complete the proposed Scope of Work cannot be
identified at this time, we propose that compensation for consulting services by Erler&
Kalinowski, Inc. be on a time and expense reimbursement basis in accordance with the Schedule
of Charges dated 1 January 2007 included as Attachment 1. On the basis of the Scope of Work
described above, we propose a budget of$230,000, which will not be exceeded without
authorization.

SUBJECT: Out-of-state travel for Fire Marshal
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve out-of-state travel for the Fire Marshal to attend training at the National Emergency Training
Center in Emmitsburg,Maryland.
BACKGROUND:
Rocque Yballa,Fire Marshal for the Central County Fire Department,has been accepted to the
National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg,Maryland to attend a Train-The-Trainer Course
for National Incident Management System-Incident Command System ICS-300/400. The process for
selection is limited to very few individuals nationally dependent upon varying pre-requisite criteria.
Successful completion of this course will qualify the fire department to provide in-house training and
certification to mid-managers and executive managers for the city of Burlingame and the Town of
Hillsborough. The ICS-300 course follows FEMA's curriculum for NIMS and is a 20-hour course,while
ICS-400 requires 16 hours for certification delivery by our agency. Having an in-house instructor will
make it possible to schedule multiple training sessions. This will help us to get both jurisdictions
NIMS compliant with Homeland Security Presidential Directive V on a more manageable schedule for
employees.
The tuition and travel associated with this training is sponsored by the Federal Emergency
Management Association while the cost of meals will be absorbed by the Central County Fire
Department.

PUBLIC COMMENTS—None
NEW BUSINESS
B. Recreation Center Report(This item was moved up on the agenda by Chairperson
Dittman)—MTEP Brewer referenced a recent newspaper article that indicated much
seismic work needs to be done on the existing Recreation Center and then listed
several facts that were not present in the article. Those facts included:
• Brick/masonry public buildings constructed after 1935 used steel reinforcement.
The 1948 plans for the Recreation Center show the use of steel reinforcement
inside the auditorium walls.
• Almost no buildings constructed before 1989 meet the current seismic codes—
updated after the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
• San Mateo High School was built in the 1920's—nearly 25 years before the
Recreation Center and before the use of steel reinforcement.
• The City conducted a Facility Master Plan study in 2004 to determine the needs to
City facilities,including the Recreation Center,and to prioritize those needs.
• The study indicates only the Auditorium wall facing Burlingame Avenue is in
need of retrofitting and did not recommend closure of the facility.
• Upon receiving the report,the City Council developed Measure H to address the
needs of the City's facility needs including many improvements to the Recreation
Center.
• While Measure H was defeated last November by less than 2 percentage points,
the City Council remains committed to finding a source to fund the retrofit.
Parks&Recreation Commission Minutes
September 20, 2007—Page 2
Director Schwartz stated that staff's recommendation to the Commission and City
Council for a new Recreation Center has continually been based on the lack of indoor
recreational facilities in the City rather than in the safety of the current Center.
Schwartz indicated that most cities in the Bay Area provide amenities such as a
dedicated area for senior citizens to congregate, a teen facility or a City gymnasium.
Commissioner Comaroto stated that the existing Center is not in compliance with the
fire codes by having upstairs offices with only one route of escape and the lack of fire
sprinklers throughout the facility.
Commissioner Larios said that the City Council has never taken a proactive stance on
constructing a new Recreation Center and pointed out how recreation facilities are a
priority in other cities,citing San Carlos' Youth Center as an example.
Commissioner Castner-Paine stated there is no money in the City's budget for a new
Recreation Center and suggested repairs to the existing facility and then waiting until
funds are available. She also suggested that the City consider the purchase of the Post
Office facility as a site for a new Recreation Center.
Schwartz commented that the 2001 committee on recreational facilities considered
over 20 locations within Burlingame for a new Recreation Center,many of them in
downtown locations. The committee's findings were that a new Center should be
constructed at the west end of Washington Park to allow Center users easy access to
other facilities in Washington Park and Burlingame High School such as open park
space, the playground, the swimming pool and ball fields. When the committee's
recommendation was discussed by the Parks&Recreation Commission, it was
revised to have the new Center located immediately adjacent to the Park on
Burlingame Avenue. This concept would still allow for the use of Washington Park
and Burlingame High School and would also allow for more open space in the Park.
The City Council approved the revised approach and had indicated their intent to
place the funding for this plan on the 2002 ballot. However, due to the downturn in
the economy,this was not done. Since then,the largest question related to a new
Recreation Center has been whether the facility should be placed in Washington Park
or can additional funds be found to purchase land adjacent to the Park.
Castner-Paine made a motion that"The Parks&Recreation Commission
recommends to the City Council that funds be provide within six months for
retrofitting the portion of the Recreation Center that does not meet the current seismic
codes". The motion was seconded by Larios and passed unanimously.
Larios also stated that this motion does not address the other issues indicated in the
report, such as the lack of program space,over crowded offices, lack of storage,need
to improve the mechanical systems, compliance with fire codes and upgrades to the
electrical systems. He repeated that the Council needs to be the advocates for a new
facility and noted that he will be leaving the Commission at the end of his term to
form a group that will place a new recreation center as a priority for the community.

OLD BUSINESS
A. Arsenic Utxlate — MTEP Brewer gave a recap of the September 176' City Council
meeting presentation by representatives of the San Mateo Union High School District
and State Dept of Toxic Substance Control. The current plan calls for (1) the back
field to be removed beginning in the upcoming few weeks and the installation of the
synthetic field to be completed by mid-February and (2) the work on the front of the
School to begin in late October or early November. Sixty percent of this $40 million
project will be paid for with State funds. The District also reported that they are
consulting with arborists and are caring for the trees in front of the School and those
along Carolan Avenue.
NEW BUSINESS
C. Preschool Registration Process (This item was moved up on the agenda by
Chairperson Dittman to accommodate Mrs. Ewing) - Director Schwartz stated that
Josie Ewing's grandchild was not placed in the lottery as a resident for the
Department's preschool program at Village Park because she could not show proof
that the child lived in Burlingame. Mrs. Ewing appealed the staff's action to the
Director who supported the registration process and informed Mrs. Ewing that she
could also appeal to the Parks & Recreation Commission. Mrs. Ewing appealed this
item to the City Manager who also found the current practice as acceptable. The city
manager was told that the grandchild does live with his parents in San Bruno and told
Mrs. Ewing that further appeals needed to be made to the Commission. Mrs. Ewing
indicated to the City Manager that she did want a hearing before the Commission.
Recreation Supervisor Hager reviewed the current registration process that includes a
lottery and was approved by the Commission approximately three years ago. Prior to
that, the process was first come, first served and had many people camping in Village
Park for more than a day prior to the start of registration.
Commissioner Comaroto asked how much larger the program could grow if more
space was available. Hager responded that there appears to be enough need in the
community for the program to nearly double in size. She also stated that she
approached the Burlingame School District a few years ago seeking space for a
transitional kindergarten program. While that did not result in additional space for a
city preschool program, it did lead to a partnership with Community Gatepath for an
integrated program at their new facility.
Commissioner Larios asked if younger children are given a priority into the program
if the first child in the family is admitted to the program. Hager stated that is the
policy for Village Park and nearly all other preschools.
Commissioner Shanus asked how the price of the Village Park preschool program
compares to the cost of other preschools in the area. Hager did not have the specific
information immediately at hand, but indicated that most of the other programs are
substantially more expensive that the City's program.
Parks&Recreation Commission Minutes
September 20, 2007—Page 4
Chairperson Dittman then opened the discussion for public comment.
Josie Ewing stated that she has been a 17 year resident of Burlingame and that her
daughter attended both Burlingame Intermediate School and Burlingame High
School. Mrs. Ewing is the grandparent of a two year old and a six year old. The six
year old was denied admission to the City's preschool program and had to be placed
in a preschool elsewhere that cost much more than Burlingame's program. Her two
year old grandson,Dante, stays with Mrs. Ewing 13 hours each week day and should
be considered as having dual-residency in Burlingame. She stated that her daughter
lives with her husband in San Bruno and has a very good job at PG&E. Mrs. Ewing
watches Dante while her daughter and son-in-law are at work. Dante was considered
a non-Burlingame resident and was not allowed into the lottery. She would like the
children of grandparents and caregivers who live in Burlingame to be considered
Burlingame residents.
In response to a question from Commissioner Comaroto,Ewing stated that not
allowing Dante into the lottery has been difficult for her and caused her to find
another preschool. The six-year old had to attend the preschool at Our Lady of
Angels at a cost of$3,500.
Tom Paine,Burlingame resident, spoke to the Commission that he was unaware of
the City's preschool and was very impressed by the description of the program and
the process.
Chairperson Dittman then closed the public comment portion of the discussion.
Commissioner Shanus discussed how children are allowed to attend elementary
school within the district boundaries of a caregiver. Larios responded that this
situation differs in that local school districts are given funds by the State based upon
the district's average daily attendance.
Larios also stated that he would like to see a provision made for grandparents'
residency to be considered, as more and more adults and their children are living with
the grandparents. Commissioner Castner-Paine agreed saying that grandparents are
different than cousins, aunts and uncles. Larios asked if grandparents can be given a
weighted priority or a limited number of places in the program. Schwartz clarified
that Larios was suggesting a three-tier system that would include (1)Burlingame
parents or legal guardians, (2) Burlingame grandparents, (3)registration open to the
public.
Shanus suggested that after Burlingame parents are given time to register for the
program, the program be open to both Burlingame and non-Burlingame residents to
be placed on a waiting list. Hager stated that is the current policy. Shanus asked if
Mrs. Ewing could have been placed on the waiting list. Hager stated that the waiting
list is open throughout the year beginning the morning after the registration, but Mrs.
Ewing's daughter did not wish to have Dante placed on the waiting list.
Parks&Recreation Commission Minutes
September 20, 2007—Page 5
Chairperson Dittman asked how you can prove that someone is a grandparent of the
child, how do you prove someone is the caregiver and why not extend the residency
offer to other members of the family. Caster-Paine suggested that the person
registering for the program could sign an oath under penalty of perjury that they are
the care-giver for the child.
Schwartz reminded the Commissioners that any priority system developed will need
to be something that can be enforced by the staff at the Recreation Center when
someone is registering.
After more discussion, a Motion by (Larios seconded by Hesseluen): "Deny the
appeal and to continue with the current preschool registration policies". The
motion was and was approved by a vote of 6-0-1,with Castner-Paine abstaining.
Shanus asked that the preschool program fees be placed on an upcoming agenda for
the Commission to consider, citing the recent ten percent increase in program fees for
programs held on Burlingame School District campuses.
OLD BUSINESS
B. Letter regarding Women's Soccer League — Chairperson Dittman reminded the
Commissioners that a letter was read to the Commission at last month's meeting from
a participant in the women's soccer league who stated a high chance of injury in the
program because referees allow too much contact. MTEP Brewer reported that she
has spoken with staff in charge of the league and they have started a new practice of
allowing the coaches to evaluate the referees after each game. She also stated that the
coach of the team whose player wrote the letter dismissed the letter and the high
chance of injury due to referees calls.
C. Update on Walk of Fame Procedures/Process— MTEP Brewer reported that the City
Council discussed the Walk of Fame procedures at their last meeting and approved
the recommendation of the Commission by a vote of 5-0.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Tennis Court Fees—Because of the lateness of the meeting, Chairperson Dittman and
Commissioner Hesselgren agreed to table this discussion until the next Commission
meeting.
B. Afterschool Programs—Director Schwartz stated that the additional ten percent fees
are being collected by the Department and that the City and District are working on
an Agreement that will describe the partnership and common programs.

CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION TO A SINGLE FAMILY
DWELLING (ROBERT MEDAN, APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; WADE AND ELIZABETH LAI,
PROPERTY OWNERS) PROJECT PLANNER: LISA WHITMAN
Reference staff report dated October 9,2007,with attachments. Zoning Technician Whitman presented the
report,reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eleven(11)conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Deal opened the public hearing.
Robert Medan,1936 Los Altos Drive,San Mateo;represented the applicant.
• Received response from neighbor at 1781 Escalante Way(property to the right,owned by Mabardy)
last Thursday;he requested that the windows facing his property be changed further to increase the
sill height. The applicant is willing to discuss further modification of windows.
Commission comments:
• Addition looms over the neighbor to the right side.
• Move deck toward center and make it accessible from the office, rather than off of the master
bedroom to reduce impacts on neighbor.
• Bay appendage,would have looked better if it did not stick out;could pop out bathroom to project at
same point.
• Step between master bedroom and office that appears on the floor plan but does not appear on the
rear elevation,correct discrepancy.

City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes October 9, 2007
Public comments:
Andy Mabardy, 1781 Escalante Way, Burlingame; his parents own the home next door. In the
neighborhood, second floor additions typically do not have windows facing ranch homes next door. The
window sills haven't been raised enough to reduce privacy impacts. The plans misrepresent the
relationship of the applicant's house to his parent's home; his parent's property projects out at the rear
another 21-feet beyond applicant's home. Referenced photos he provided to Commission showing
relationship between properties. The privacy screen is ineffective given that his parent's home projects
beyond the applicant's property in rear.
Additional Commission comments:
• Install 18-inch high windows, and obscured glass in bathroom.
• Addition handled well from the front; compatible with neighborhood.
• Concern regarding preservation of neighbor's privacy and adequacy of privacy screen.
• Move wall of bedroom back possibly two feet and relocate deck to the left to reduce neighbor
impacts; deck is more of an impact. Privacy glass on deck is not a good solution, relocate the deck
so that it is oriented and accessed from the office.
Commissioner Terrones moved to continue the matter with direction to the applicant to simplify the front
elevation;address the location of and access to the deck, if it is at the level of the masterbedroom it should
be focused off of the office area; reduce depth of addition by at least 2-feet. The item should be placed on
the Consent Calendar when ready.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Osterling.
Chair Deal called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed 5-0-2 (Commissioners
Brownrigg and Auran absent). Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded at 7:42 p.m.

report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Ten (10) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Deal opened the public hearing.
Peter Lam, 848 Folsom Street, Suite 102, San Francisco, represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• Addition will be fairly obscured by mature vegetation.
• Wouldn't be comfortable approving vinyl windows without a sample.
• The two section plans are at different scales.
• Show pitch of roof accurately, 4 to 12 pitch is probably more appropriate.
• Important that windows match the quality of the residence.
• Show water table detail at bottom of wood siding.

City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes October 9, 2007
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue, Burlingame; expressed concerned about the vinyl windows. She would
like to see a sample.
Additional Commission comments:
• Would like to see item continued to permit the applicant to produce a sample of the windows to be
installed.

the proposed windows, resolve the pitch of roof, and add the water table to drawings.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Osterling.
Chair Deal called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed 5-0-2 (Commissioners

5. 3105 MARGARITA AVENUE, ZONED R-1 —APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW, HILLSIDE AREA
CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND VARIANCES FOR UPPER AND LOWER LEVEL ADDITIONS TO A
SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING(MIKE AND AMY KERWIN,APPLICANTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS;AND
JOHN MANISCALCO, ARCHITECT) PROJECT PLANNER: LISA WHITMAN
Reference staff report dated October 9, 2007,with attachments. Zoning Technician Whitman presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eleven (11) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Deal opened the public hearing.
Mike Kerwin and Amy Penticoff, 3105 Margarita Avenue, Burlingame and John Maniscalco, 1501 Waller
Street, San Francisco; represented the applicant.
• Story poles are completed and surveyed, stumps of removed trees have been ground; and they are
in the process of communicating with neighbor regarding replacement of fence.
Commission comments:
• Six-inch change of plane on dining room area is not clearly reflected in story poles. Would it be
possible to pull that corner in by an additional six-inches.
Public comments:
Joyce and Frank Sulgit, 1560 Los Montes Drive, Burlingame; Helaine Darling, 3100 Margarita Drive,
Burlingame; Brian and Linda Murphy, 3101 Margarita Drive, Burlingame; Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue,
Burlingame; commented on the project. Sulgits are now having a difficult time giving up the view since the
trees are now gone, and story poles are now up. They are losing the views of planes landing and the Mount
Diablo range view. Encouraged a reduction in the height and depth of the addition to further preserve
views. The design doesn't fit in with the neighborhood. The Variance doesn't meet the findings for
approval. Repair of fence adjacent to downhill neighbor should be a condition of approval. Has the Parks
and Recreation Department been involved in the tree removal. The three required replacement trees
should not impact views. Commented on the applicant's contractor's license.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:

City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes October 9, 2007
• Questioned ceiling heights—8' 6" in some rooms, 9' 6" in other rooms.
• Drawing submitted by neighbor, dated August 10"', shows different window pattern and higher
chimney than in current plans—no chimney proposed—direct vent.
• With respect to the ceiling height at the rear portion of the dining room; there is still a small amount
of view blockage; could leave exterior wall and ceiling height, but have the clerestory portion step
back 30 inches to preserve view, while still maintaining an 8' 1" height for the rear portion of the
room.
Commissioner Terrones moved to continue the matter until the meeting of October 22, 2007, with direction
to the applicant to: reduce the window wall of the dining room to 8' 1" while stepping back the clerestory
portion of the room 30 inches from the rear wall, in order to preserve the uphill neighbor's view,-plant three
(3)additional trees on the property, select species and location to minimize view obstruction, but maintain
them at a height that does not impact views, and repair the downhill neighbor's fence. The matter is to be
placed on the October 22 n Consent Calendar for action.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Osterling.
Chair Deal called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed 5-0-2 (Commissioners
Brownngg and Auran absent). Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded at 8:42 p.m.

DESIGNER: EUGENE LAI, PROPERTY OWNER) PROJECT PLANNER: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated October 9,2007,with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Ten (10) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Chair Deal opened the public hearing.
Eugene Lai, 3121 Margarita Avenue, Burlingame; represented the applicant.
• He indicated that he wishes to install a metal rail on the porch rather than a wood rail, but the project
otherwise conforms to Design Reviewer's comments.
Commission comments:
• A railing doesn't make any sense; columns would make more sense on the porch.
Public comments:
Brian Murphy, 3101 Margarita Drive, Burlingame; and Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue, Burlingame;
commented on the project. The Commission was complemented on their diligence in ensuring designs are
consistent with neighborhoods. The design wouldn't have been approved under the current process; the
shutters should be installed, the stucco trim should be replaced with wood trim.
Additional Commission comments:
• Shutters need to be installed.
Railing is unnecessary on front porch; install columns.
• Window on front, to left of door needs to be installed per the approved plan.
• The home should be built as originally approved.

HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FOR CHANGES TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FIRST
AND SECOND STORY ADDITION (MICHAEL MA, APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; MIMI SIEN,
PROPERTYOWNER) PROJECTPLANNER: ERICA STROHMEIER(continued from August 27, 2007
Planning Commission meeting)
Reference staff report dated October 9, 2007,with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eleven (11) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Chair Deal opened the public hearing.
Michael Ma, 20660 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Suite 169, Cupertino; and David Lan, 3066 Hillside Drive,
Burlingame; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• The area near the oak tree in the front yard was not paved originally, but it is now paved.
• Enclosure of deck on the rear was not a good solution.
• What is being proposed does not quite work,just making changes to front of house is not consistent
with the design guidelines.
• Send the project to a design reviewer to see what can be done to make the best of the situation.
Concern about lack of siding on all sides.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue, Burlingame; indicated that the applicant attended an owner/builder
workshop sponsored by the City of Burlingame and that the workshop was quite detailed, particularly with
respect to amendment procedures.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
• Applicant's approach was rude and untenable; would support completing project as originally
designed and approved.
• Transom windows on rear of property not a necessity, given the impact of installing them at this
point given the roof truss design.
• Send the project to a design reviewer with direction to identify solutions that will take the design back
as close as possible to original approved design.
Commissioner Cauchi moved to send the project to a design reviewer, with specific direction to identify
design solutions that will take the design back as close as possible to the original design,identify elements
that will break up the rear elevation;and the design reviewer should listen to the recorded discussion of this
matter to gain an understanding of the Commission's concerns. The Commission reserves the right to deny
the project even after design reviewer input is received.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Vistica.

SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING WITH DETACHED GARAGE (YEVGENY DUBINSKY, APPLICANT AND
PROPERTY OWNER, AND BOBROWSKY & COOK, ARCHITECTS) PROJECT PLANNER: ERICA
STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated October 9, 2007,with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twelve (12) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Chair Deal opened the public hearing.
Richard Cook, 791 Widgeon Street, Foster City, represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• Perhaps make garage a bit higher to match pitch of main dwelling.
• Vents along south elevation; can't have openings along that property line.
• Veneer projecting out on north side elevation is a drafting error.
• Stoop needs to show a guard rail and hand rail.
• Questioned the finish of the dormer on north elevation.
• Slider-style windows don't fit the style of the house; double hung or casement windows would look
better.
• Massing is done well.
• Suggested an automatic gate.
• Correct minor design details lacking on plans.
Public comments:
Alison Russell, 1309 Cabrillo Avenue, Burlingame; the proposed new structure is behind her home.
Concerned about the proposal to exceed the height limit. Doing so would cut out her view of the sky from
her master bedroom and office. Is there a necessity for a balcony at rear of house? Could it be turned into
a window with a higher sill, or designed so as not to look into her bedroom? Requested 48-inch box trees,
perhaps 3 rather than 2 trees. Design is not consistent with the neighborhood character. She requested
story poles for second floor balcony in particular.
Additional Commission comments:
• Encouraged smaller landscape materials (24-inch box) initially since they would grow more rapidly
than 48-inch box specimens.
Further Commission comments:
• Supportive of Special Permit for height, because of the architectural style of house. Keeps in line
with changes that are occurring in Easton Addition.
• Agreement with window concerns; no sliders.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. -�

WHITMAN
Zoning Technician Whitman briefly presented the project description. Noted that address was officially
changed to 1102 Balboa Avenue. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Deal opened the public comment period.
James Chu, 55 West 43rd Avenue, San Mateo; represented the applicant. He noted that the project is a
"spec" home.
Commission comments:
• Why do all bedrooms have their own bathroom?
• Bathrooms for each bedroom leads to detachment; from family, neighborhood and community.
• Install automatic gate at driveway entry far enough back to permit a vehicle to be parked outside the
gate.
• Have landscape architect look at installing an additional Bay Laurel in comer where the existing tree
is to be removed in the rear yard.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue, Burlingame; and Greg Schwager, 1106 Balboa Avenue, Burlingame;
commented on the project. Encouraged elimination of side patio access; it is an impact upon the neighbor's
privacy.
Additional Commission comments:
• The patio design is acceptable.
• Add an additional Bay Laurel tree in the rear yard.

Chair Deal opened the public comment period.
Steve Cannon, 2538 Hayward Drive and Audrey Tse, 1534 Plaza Lane, Suite 318, Burlingame; represented
the applicant.
Shape of the lot restricts the design.
• Had a choice to use up the front-yard, or install a second-story.
• Variances address existing conditions.
• Large covered porch area will remain; this takes up a lot of lot area.
• Technically six bedrooms; play room next to kitchen counts as a bedroom.
• Fairly steep slope on lot.
• Neighborhood around has beautiful views; they do not enjoy view due to sighting of home; reason
for deck.
• Have moved mechanical equipment out of garage that will free up garage to be used for such its
intended purpose.
Commission comments:
• Well crafted design.
• Wood siding design is a nice feature, be certain that it is carried through on all elevations.
• Correct drafting errors.
• Note finish of base of columns.
• Provide more detail regarding the garage doors.
• Show that wood siding will go around the corners of the dormer on the right side elevation.
• Install story poles.
• The steps in the garage that encroach into the parking space need to be revised to eliminate the
encroachment; there is no justification for the Variance for this element.
• Show handrail on stairs on rear elevation.
• Show downspouts for gutters and where runoff will be directed.

JMarlcet Couunmrtary
During September the FOMC cut the overnight lending rate Cor the first time since lune or 2003.Recognizing difficulties in the credit markets and the potential for slower economic growth in future quarters,the
Fed reduced the Fed Funds rale 50 basis points to 4.75%.The Fed and many economists are concerned that tightening credit standards and continued weakness in the housing market will erode future economic
growth. Both existing and new home sales plummeted to new lows during September,reinforcing those views.Treasury yields fell throughout the month in volatile trading as investors tried to lock in yields.Stock
investors applauded the Fed move pushing equity indexes closer to their highs of the year.Some are now concerned that as the Fed cuts rales,inflation could reappear.This is of particular concern to holders of
longer term bonds.Some of these investors have sold their holdings causing the yield curve to normalize,longer maturities yielding more than shorter maturities.The market expects that the Fed will cut rates
further but any action will be dependent on future economic releases.

Dear Mr. Jesus Nava :
As you may already be aware, it is our goal at Comcast to ensure thalt you ouice
remains informed of the programming services we offer to our customers who
subscriber to our services and reside in your community.
In an effort to successfully transition into an all Digital Network, effective on or after
October 18, 2007 we are adjusting the location of the California Channel on the Limited
Basic level of service from channel 28 to the Limited Basic + Digital level of service on
channel 108 . It will be necessary for the customer to subscribe to any level of Digital
Cable service in order to view the California Channel programming .
The shared programming that currently airs opposite the California Channel on channel
28 will continue to air its content during its regularly scheduled hours .
The California Channel airs live programming whenever possible. When the Assembly
and Senate meet simultaneously, for example, we air one house live and tape delay the
other house upon conclusion of live coverage. Thus, if the coverage is not aired live, it is
aired the same day. When there are no live sessions or committee hearings, we
broadcast recently recorded hearings that we were unable to air due to time constraints .
This adjustment will not result in a price increase to the already existing price list at this
time.
If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your local
Government Affairs Director, Lee-Ann Peling at (415) 715-0549 .
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Jesus Nava:
As you may already be aware, ft is our goal at Comcast to ensure that you office
remains informed of the programming services we offer to our customers who
subscriber to our services and reside in your community.
In an effort to successfully transition into an all Digital Network, effective on or after
November 8, 2007 we are adding the Hallmark Channel to the Digital platform. The
Hallmark channel will be viewed on both its current location at channel 66 and on
channel 185. However, it will be necessary for the customer to subscribe to Expanded
Basic cable and any level of Digital Cable service in order to view the Hallmark
Channel.
The Hallmark Channel is the quintessential 24-hour television destination for family-
friendly programming and a leader in the production of original movies. The network
brings to audiences a brand with a 50-plus-year legacy that resonates with consumers.
Hallmark Channel is the fastest-growing major ad-supported cable network since its
launch, and its strong ratings consistently rank the channel in the top 10 in Prime Time.
Hallmark Channel is seen in 85 million homes across the U.S. and has developed a
stellar reputation for keeping viewers engaged and entertained.
This adjustment will not result in a price increase to the already existing price list at this
time.
If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your local
Government Affairs Director Lee-Ann Peling at (415) 715-0549.
Sincerely,

Subject:Cypress removal 2001 Easton
Randy,
Kevin Kielty was performing his inspections today and noticed severe root rot on this Monterey
Cypress.He recommended we remove this tree as soon as possible.It has decay in the truck
and root system at ground level.It also has a significant lean.He will be sending an arborist
report on Monday.In the mean time,I will schedule the Tree Crew to start removal next Tuesday.
There will be enough space to replace this tree with 2 citriodora's that I have in the yard.

What's your assessment of the hazard level?
From:PARKS-Disco,Bob To:PARKS-Richmond,Tim Friday,October 05,2007 2:33 PM
Sever enough that it needs to come down.We discussed it in the field and the sooner the better.
It may be raining either of those days too.We can knock on the homeowner's door,I'm sure he
won't mind this tree has been a problem for him in the past.There are enough obvious signs that
no one will argue.
The tree can be replaced before Jan.since we have them in the yard.
