MILLION IN SOLID WASTE ENTERPRISE REVENUE BONDS AND AUTHORIZING
THE CITY TREASURER TO ENTER INTO A USE OF FUNDS AGREEMENT IN THE
AMOUNT OF$3 MILLION FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS
FinDir Nava reviewed the staff report and requested Council adopt Resolution No. 55-2009 approving a
revised financing plan of the South Bayside Waste Management Authority(SBWMA) to finance the
construction of the Shoreway Environmental Center; approving the issuance of$56.50 million in Solid
Waste Enterprise Revenue Bonds and authorizing the City Treasurer to enter into a Use of Funds Agreement
in the amount of$3 million for a five year period. FinDir Nava explained that the amount for the Solid
Waste Enterprise Revenue Bonds had just increased from $55.32 million to $56.50 million due to higher
interest costs and other financing needs.
In response to an inquiry from Council, FinDir Nava introduced Kevin McCarthy, Executive Director,
SBWMA who reported that the fundamentals of the project have improved and the construction bids for the
Shoreway Environmental Center were 40 percent lower than initially expected and the commodity revenues
have rebounded. He said construction would begin mid-September 2009 and would continue through the
spring of 2011 and at this time Burlingame is the only city committed to invest.
Councilwoman O'Mahony made a motion to approve Resolution No. 55-2009, indicating the increase to
$56.50 million for the SBWMA revised financing plan for the Shoreway Environmental Center; seconded by
Councilman Deal. The motion was approved by voice vote 4-0-1 (Keighran absent).
C. WAIVER OF BLOCK PARTY PERMITS IN LIEU OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
PRESENTATION
FC Dornell reviewed the staff report and presented the following two options: Option 1 would waive the
block party permit fee at time of application in return for allowing a Community Emergency Team Member
(CERT) make a brief informal presentation at a predetermined time on the CERT program, Get Ready
program, and other services available to the public; Option 2 would separate the presentation from the block
party, schedule the presentation within a reasonable time frame, require a commitment of a minimum
number of adult attendees, and rebate the block party fee after the presentation had been made. FC Dornell
recommended if Council supports one or a variation of the options, that it be a pilot program from July
through October to measure the success of the program.
Council discussion followed concerning the two options and Councilwoman Nagel made a motion to waive
the $50.00 block party fee for groups who agree to invite a CERT volunteer to come at a prearranged time to
make a 10 to 15 minute presentation about the services that the City offers for emergency preparedness; the
need for neighborhoods to be self sufficient in the event of a catastrophe; advise the group about the services
available such as, SMC alert, crimereports.com, and the City's newsletter; a signup sheet indicating who
attended, and if at least 10 people heard the presentation, the fee would be refunded; and it would be a pilot
period to be reevaluated in October; seconded by Councilman Deal. The motion failed by voice vote 1-3-1
(Baylock, Deal, O'Mahony dissented) (Keighran absent). Councilwoman Nagel reworded her motion to
begin a program in Burlingame that would allow people having block parties to receive a rebate if they invite
a CERT volunteer to make a presentation about the city's emergency preparedness and communications
services; and it would be a pilot program to be reevaluated in October; seconded by Councilman Deal. The
motion was approved by voice vote 4-0-1 (Keighran absent).

FROM: Jesus Nava, Finance Director
558-7222
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Introduction of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 4.09 of the
Burlingame Municipal Code to Increase the Transient Occupancy Tax from 10% to 12%
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing to take oral or written testimony on the proposed ordinance; and
2. Introduce An Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City Of Burlingame Amending Section
4.09.025 Of Chapter 4.09 Of The Burlingame Municipal Code, To Increase The Transient
Occupancy Tax Rate From 10% To 12% On The Rent Charged By Operators To Hotel Guests
Within The City;
BACKGROUND:
The City of Burlingame added a measure to the November 3, 2009 election ballot asking city voters to
increase the Transient Occupancy Tax from 10% to 12%. The ballot measure is an increase to the general
tax imposed by the city under Chapter 4.09 of the Municipal Code, Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax.
The last tax increase was in September 1991 when the Council increased the tax rate from 8% to 10%. The
10%tax rate was reaffirmed and validated by Burlingame voters in 2001 by an affirmative vote of 71.6%.
The ballot measure is needed to help generate additional revenue to help the city meet its current and future
obligations. Those include funding for general city services and infrastructure maintenance and
improvements, including the reconstruction of the Hwy 101 and Broadway Ave. interchange. The city's
portion of the interchange project is estimated at $8 million with funding coming from the general fund.
Ordinance Amendment
Chapter 4.09 of the Municipal Code, Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax is amended to increase the tax
from 10%to 12%. Two public hearings are scheduled to give residents an opportunity to address the
Council. The first is on July 20,2009. A second public hearing will be held on August 17, 2009 prior to
the final adoption of the ordinance by the Council. By its own language, the ordinance amendment will not
become effective unless the voters approve it at the November 3rd election and then only 10 days after the
Council approves the canvass of votes.
1
Adopted Ballot Language (June 15, 2009)
"To preserve funding for general city services, including maintaining public safety, recreation,planning
and library services, and repairing and improving city streets and infrastructure, such as the
Broadway/Highway 101 interchange, shall the City of Burlingame approve an ordinance amending the
Burlingame Municipal Code to increase the transient occupancy tax from ten (1091o)per cent to twelve
(1201o)per cent on the rent charged to hotel guests within the City?"
Impartial Analysis and Public Information
The city attorney will prepare an impartial analysis of the ballot measure. Arguments in favor and in
opposition to the measure will also be developed and presented to the voters. Public information that will
help educate the voters about the measure will also be made available.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved by the voters, the increase in the TOT is expected to produce approximately$2 million per year
depending on annual gross hotel room rental revenue. If approved, the new tax rate would become
effective January 1, 2010. Therefore, the potential increase in revenue for fiscal year 2009-2010 would be
$1 million for the remaining six months of the fiscal year.
Understandably this is a difficult time to increase a general tax that is applicable only to hotels. Hotel
occupancy rates are down reflecting a lull in both business travel and tourism. However the need for the
increase confronts the city now. In addition, a number of other San Mateo County cities are also placing a
similar measure on their ballots. This will help prevent undue competition from neighboring hotels arising
from the increase in the Burlingame tax rate.

URBAN FORE.vT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Introduction
The City of Burlingame has a long history of proactive tree planting and proper tree care. From
the late 1800's when trees were planted along El Camino Real and Easton Drive to the current
day, we have enjoyed the many benefits trees provide to an urban area(see Section IV).
Burlingame's urban forest management program is one of the elite programs in San Mateo
County and is used by independent arborists as a model for proper tree care. Some examples are:
• Burlingame is one of the few cities in the County that has an in-house crew dedicated to
the care and maintenance of its trees and the City Council has for several decades
included funds in the annual budget to supplement staff's efforts with a tree contractor for
large trees or assistance during winter storms.
• The City Arborist works directly with the Planning, Building and Parks Divisions and the
Planning Commission to add new trees to landscaping plans where possible, protect
existing trees during construction and ensure healthy, protected trees are not removed.
The Parks Supervisor, also a Certified Arborist, inspects and directly oversees the
maintenance of City street trees including contract pruning.
• The City's grid pruning program was established so trees would be inspected and
maintained on a four-year cycle; the very large, mature trees are inspected and
maintained every three years.
The National Arbor Day Foundation was established to inspire people to plant, nurture and
celebrate trees. The Foundation's annual award "Tree City USA" is given to cities that meet
four standards: (1)a tree board or department, (2)a tree care ordinance, (3) a community forestry
program with an annual budget of a least $2.00 per capita and (4) an Arbor Day observance and
proclamation. More information about the Tree City USA program can be found at:
http://www.arborday.org/programs/treecitydirectory.cfm.
Burlingame's longtime commitment to trees is evidenced by recognition as a "Tree City
USA" for 30 consecutive years. This is the longest streak in the County, 51h longest in the
State and one of the longest in the Country for receiving this award. A listing of the
California cities that have received Tree City USA awards is included as Attachment"A".
This Urban Forest Master Plan is a compilation of information, statistics, policies and procedures
that the Burlingame Parks & Recreation Department has had in place for many years. The Goal
of the Plan is to manage the community's urban forest to enhance the quality of life. The
process integrates the environmental,economic, political, historical, and social values of the
community to develop a comprehensive management plan for the urban forest. The Plan
includes a background of the City's vision and tree philosophy, show the benefits of an urban
forest, list the City's existing tree policies and varieties, describe existing maintenance practices,
show the criteria used to consider tree removals, list the trees that are allowed as replacements in
street planting strips and explain the process for public appeals of staff decisions. Attachments
include tree permits, street tree lists, criteria used to remove trees due to either sidewalk impacts
or health concerns, an inventory of street trees listed by species and the Beautification
Commission's rules of procedure.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Mission Statement
The Burlingame Parks &Recreation Department is Creating a Better Place to Live, Work and
Play by
• Providing well-maintained playgrounds, street trees,park spaces and recreational
facilities;
• Offering a high-quality, diversified program of recreational activities; and
• Supporting local community groups
Definitions
Urban Forestry Management
Urban Forestry Management is the systematic management and care of trees and landscape in
human settlements.
Sustainable Urban Forestry
Sustainable Urban Forestry is based on the concept of sustainable urban ecosystems or
landscapes designed and managed to minimize impact on the environment and maximize value
received for dollars expended over time.
Urban or Community Forestry
Urban or Community Forestry is the planning for, and management of, a community's forest
resources to enhance the quality of life. The process integrates the environmental, economic,
political, historical, and social values of the community to develop a comprehensive management
plan for the urban forest. A community in this definition is an area of human settlement in a rural
or metropolitan region. The urban or community forest includes the vegetation, open space, and
related natural resources of the area.
Reforestation
• The reestablishment of a forest, either by natural regeneration or by planting in an area
where forest was removed
• Planting of trees, although the site need not be deforested,prior to being reforested
• The reestablishment of forest cover, either naturally or artificially
• Reforestation occurs on land where trees have been recently removed
Grid Pruning
Grid Pruning is a systematic tree pruning program that establishes pre-designated geographical
areas or grids. All trees in these designated grids are evaluated and/or pruned on a rotating cycle.
A cycle may vary from three to four year periods depending on tree species, location, and need
for pruning.
Benefits of a Grid Pruning Program
• A systematic tree pruning program reduces overall costs, and the need for "emergency"
or"service request"pruning
• Helps reduce liability
• Improves the urban forest's health and value

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Managing the Urban Forest
An important part of understanding the status of the urban forest is knowing how it has been
managed. This requires information on both past and current management methods and actions,
such as:
• municipal tree care practices, including planting, maintenance, and removal;
• existing ordinances, and the level of enforcement practiced (numbers of violations,
permits and citations issued,penalties and fines collected);
• planning regulations and guidelines that pertain to trees, and numbers of tree-related
permits granted, modified, or denied;
• activities of municipal departments and public utilities that impact trees.
Urban forestry needs can be grouped into three broad categories, although many needs may
actually fall into more than one category.
Biological needs are those that are related to the tree resource itself. Typical needs in this category include the
need to:
• increase species and age diversity to provide long-term forest stability;
• provide sufficient tree planting to keep pace with urban growth and offset tree removal;
• increase the proportion of large-statured trees in the forest for greater canopy effects;
• ensure proper compatibility between trees and planting sites to reduce sidewalk damage
and conflicts with overhead utilities that lead to premature tree removal.
Management needs refer to the needs of those involved with the short and long-term care and maintenance of
the urban forest. Some common management needs include:
• develop adequate long-term planning to ensure the sustainability of the urban forest;
• optimize the use of limited financial and personnel resources;
• increase training and education for tree program employees to ensure high quality tree
care;
• coordinate tree-related activities of municipal departments.
Community needs are those that relate to how the public perceives and interacts with the urban forest and the
local urban forest management program. Examples of community needs include:
• increase public awareness of the values and benefits associated with trees;
• promote better private tree care through better public understanding of the biological
needs of trees;
• foster community support for the urban forest management program;
• promote conservation of the urban forest by focusing public attention on all trees, not just
large heritage trees.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Benefits of Trees in Urban Areas
Below are some of the benefits of trees in urban areas(Glatting Jackson and Walkable Communities, Inc;
May,2006). Occasionally seen as highly problematic for many reasons, street trees have proven to
be a great value to people living, working, shopping and motoring in and through urban places.
While proper management of trees in urban places is costly, the benefits are so great that a
sustainable community cannot be imagined without these important green features.
1. Reduced and more appropriate urban traffic speeds. Urban street trees create vertical
walls framing streets, and a defined edge, helping motorists guide their movement and
assess their speed (leading to overall speed reductions). Street safety comparisons show a
reduction of run-off-the-road crashes and overall crash severity when street tree sections
are compared with equivalent treeless streets. (Texas A and M conducted simulation
research which found people slow down while driving through a treed scape. These
observations are also noted in the real world when following motorists along first a treed
portion of a street, and then a non treed portion. Speed differentials of 3 mph to 15 mph
are noted.)
2. Create safer walking environments, by forming and framing visual walls and providing
distinct edges to sidewalks so that motorists better distinguish between their environment
and one shared with people. If a motorist were to significantly err in their urban driving
task, street trees can deflect or fully stop a motorist from taking another human life.
3. Trees call for planting strips, which further separate motorists from pedestrians,
buildings and other urban fabric.
4. Increased security. Trees create more pleasant walking environments, bringing about
increased walking, talking, pride, care of place, association and therefore actual
ownership and surveillance of homes, blocks, neighborhoods plazas, businesses and other
civic spaces.
5. Improved business. Businesses on treescaped streets show 20% higher income streams,
which is often the essential competitive edge needed for main street store success, versus
competition from plaza discount store prices.
6. Less drainage infrastructure. Trees absorb the first 30% of most precipitation through
their leaf system, allowing evaporation back into the atmosphere. This moisture never
hits the ground. Another percentage(up to 30%) of precipitation is absorbed back into the
ground and taken in and held onto by the root structure,then absorbed and then transpired
back to the air. Some of this water also naturally percolates into the ground water and
aquifer. Storm water runoff and flooding potential to urban properties is therefore
reduced.
7. Rain, sun, heat and skin protection. For light or moderate rains, pedestrians find less
need for rain protection. In cities with good tree coverage there is less need for chemical
sun blocking agents. Temperature differentials of 5-15 degrees are felt when walking
under tree canopied streets.
Updated July 20, 2009 -4 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
8. Reduced harm from tailpipe emissions. Automobile and truck exhaust is a major public
health concern and contains significant pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO),
volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter(PM).
Tailpipe emissions are adding to asthma, ozone and other health impacts. Impacts are
reduced significantly from proximity to trees.
9. Gas transformation efficiency. Trees in street proximity absorb 9 times more pollutants
than more distant trees, converting harmful gasses back into oxygen and other useful and
natural gasses.
10. Lower urban air temperatures.Asphalt and concrete streets and parking lots are known
to increase urban temperatures 3-7 degrees. These temperature increases significantly
impact energy costs to homeowners and consumers. A properly shaded neighborhood,
mostly from urban street trees, can reduce energy bills for a household from 15-35%.
11. Lower Ozone. Increases in urban street temperatures that hover directly above asphalt
where tailpipe emissions occur dramatically increase creation of harmful ozone and other
gasses into more noxious substances impacting health of people, animals and surrounding
agricultural lands.
12. Convert streets, parking and walls into more aesthetically pleasing environments.
There are few streetmaking elements that do as much to soften wide, grey visual
wastelands created by wide streets, parking lots and massive, but sometimes necessary
blank walls than trees.
13. Soften and screen necessary street features such as utility poles, light poles and other
needed street furniture. Trees are highly effective at screening those other vertical
features to roadways that are needed for many safety and functional reasons.
14. Reduced blood pressure, improved overall emotional and psychological health.
People are impacted by ugly or attractive environments where they spend time. Kathlene
Wolf, Social Science Ph.D. University of Washington gave a presentation that said "the
risk of treed streets was questionable compared to other types of accidents along with the
increased benefit of trees on human behavior, health, pavement longevity, etc." She noted
that trees have a calming and healing effect on ADHD adults and teens.
15. Time in travel perception. Other research and observations confirm that motorists
perceive the time it takes to get through treed versus non-treed environments has a
significant differential. A treeless environment trip is perceived to be longer than one that
is treed(Walter Kulash, P.E.; speech circa 1994, Glatting Jackson).
16. Reduced road rage. Although this may at first seem a stretch, there is strong, compelling
research that motorist road rage is less in green urban versus stark suburban areas. Trees
and aesthetics, which are known to reduce blood pressure, may handle some of this
calming effect.
17. Improved operations potential. When properly positioned and maintained, the
backdrop of street trees allow those features that should be dominant to be better seen,
Updated July 20,2009 - 5 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
such as vital traffic regulatory signs. The absence of a well developed Greenscape allows
the sickly grey mass of strip to dominate the visual world. At the same time, poorly
placed signs, signals, or poorly maintained trees reduces this positive gain, and thus
proper placement and maintenance must be rigidly adhered to.
18. Added value to adjacent homes, businesses and tax base. Realtor based estimates of
street tree versus non street tree comparable streets relate a $15-25,000 increase in home
or business value. This often adds to the base tax base and operations budgets of a city
allowing for added street maintenance. Future economic analysis may determine that this
is a break-even for city maintenance budgets.
19. Provides a lawn for a splash and spray zone, storage of snow, driveway elevation
transition and more. Tree lawns are an essential part of the operational side of a street.
20. Filtering and screening agent. Softens and screens utility poles, light poles, on-street
and off-street parking and other features creating visual pollution to the street.
21. Longer pavement life. Studies conducted in a variety of California environments show
that the shade of urban street trees can add from 40-60% more life to costly asphalt. This
factor is based on reduced daily heating and cooling (expansion/contraction) of asphalt.
As peak oil pricing increases roadway overlays, this will become a significant cost
reduction to maintaining a more affordable roadway system.
22. Connection to nature and the human senses. Urban street trees provide a canopy, root
structure and setting for important insect and bacterial life below the surface; at grade for
pets and romantic people to pause for what pets and romantic people pause for; they act
as essential lofty environments for song birds, seeds, nuts, squirrels and other urban life.
Indeed, street trees so well establish natural and comfortable urban life it is unlikely we
will ever see any advertisement for any marketed urban product, including cars, to be
featured without street trees making the ultimate dominant, bold visual statement about
place.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
City Street Tree Policies
Many trees growing in Burlingame are City-owned trees and are maintained by the City. Street
trees are trees that grow on City property (right-of way) in front of residences and businesses. In
most areas, this is located between the sidewalk and street and is called the planter strip. Where
no planter strip exists, the City right-of-way generally extends five feet behind the sidewalk. If
there is a question, homeowners can check their deeds to determine how much right-of-way is
located in front of their home. Residents may not cut or trim City trees in the City right-of-way
without a permit. City tree crews or City-hired contractors prune street trees on a regular
schedule. PG&E performs safety pruning on City trees located under power lines.
Trees located on El Camino Real, a state Highway, are owned and maintained by the State
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), while many of the trees along California Drive,
adjacent to the railroad tracks, are owned and maintained by the City of San Francisco or Cal
Train.
Street Tree Guidelines
• Residents may NOT cut or trim City trees in the City right-of-way without a permit.
• Residents can apply for a"no fee"permit for a qualified tree company to perform
preauthorized trimming, removal, or planting of a City tree at the homeowner's expense.
• Penalties for removing or trimming City owned trees without a permit can be costly.
Fine revenues are placed in a fund to purchase new trees.
• Each single family residence is entitled to one street tree at no charge. If space is
available,additional trees may be requested at the homeowner's expense.
• Landscaping, ground cover, and low shrubs(up to three feet in height, not encroaching
on the sidewalk or street) are allowed in the planter strip without a permit.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Private Tree Policies
In Burlingame, large trees on private property are protected by City Ordinance. Any tree with a
circumference of 48 inches at a height of 54 inches above the ground is a "Protected Tree." A
permit is required to remove or heavily prune a protected tree and there are financial penalties for
not doing so.
Permit applications for removal or heavy pruning of protected trees may be obtained at the Parks
Division office or can be downloaded from our website at www.Burlingame.org. There is a
575.00 fee for filing a permit application. The permit process involves a formal inspection by the
City Arborist to determine the tree's health, structure, and impacts to neighboring properties, as
well as replacement requirements. The applicant and adjacent property owners are notified of the
arborist's approval or denial. The arborist's decision may be appealed to the City Beatification
Commission.
If a permit is granted for removal, the applicant is often required to either plant a replacement
tree or pay a fee to the City Tree Replacement fund so that a new tree can be placed elsewhere in
the City. Contact the Parks Division office at (650) 558-7330 for additional information about
the permit process.

Tree View Policy
Guidelines for Resolution of Bay View Disputes
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of these guidelines is to set forth a procedure for the resolution of disputes
between parties (both private and city property owners) relating to the loss of Bay views
due to tree growth.
1. These guidelines do not impair obligations imposed by an existing agreement, or a
valid pre-existing enforceable covenant, easement or agreement.
2. Nothing in these guidelines is meant to replace the peaceful, sensible, and just
resolution of differences between neighbors acting in good faith. The provisions
contained in these guidelines are meant to encourage that such resolution occurs
prior to engaging in the recommended remedies provided by them.
B. OBJECTIVES
1. To restore access to existing views of the bay from properties within the Hillside
areas subject to a hillside construction permit (Burlingame Municipal Code chapter
25.61).
2. To encourage the maintenance of positive relationships within a neighborhood
when there is a conflict between a tree or trees and Bay view preservation.
3. It is not the objective of these guidelines to facilitate or encourage access to any
other views such as of hills and landmarks, nor access to sunlight, nor the
transmission of radio,television, satellite dishes, or other electronic signals.
4. To preserve and protect the aesthetic and practical benefits which trees provide for
individuals and the entire community.
5. To discourage ill-considered pruning or destruction of trees.
C. DEFINITIONS
1. "Bay view" means a distant vista or panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay.
2. "Crown Reduction" means a method of reducing the height or spread of a tree by
performing appropriate pruning cuts.
3. "Crown Restoration" means a method of restoring the natural growth of a tree that
has been topped or damaged in any other way.
4. "DBH" means the diameter of the tree at breast height measured at 4.5 feet above
the natural grade. In the case of multiple stemmed trees, the measurement will be
the sum of diameters of all stems measured at 4.5 feet above the natural grade.

D. PROCEDURES
The procedures described in this section shall be followed in the resolution of Bay view
disputes caused by the obstruction of tree growth within the Hillside areas subject to
Burlingame Municipal Code chapter 25.61.
1. Initial Reconciliation: An originating party who believes in good faith that growth,
maintenance or location of trees on the property of another (hereafter referred to as
the tree owner) diminishes the beneficial use or economic value of his or her
property because such tree(s) interferes with Bay views that existed prior to such
growth, maintenance, or location of the tree(s) on the property during the time the
originating party has occupied the property shall notify the tree owner in writing of
such concerns.
a. The notice shall include all the pertinent information describing the bay view
obstruction.
b. The notification shall, if possible, be accomplished by personal discussions to
enable the originating party and tree owner to attempt to reach a mutually
agreeable solution.
2. Mediation: If such initial reconciliation attempt fails, the originating party shall
propose mediation as a means to settle the dispute on a relatively informal basis.
a. Acceptance of mediation by the tree owner shall be voluntary.
b. If mediation is elected, the parties agree to use any trained or experienced
mediator(s) either recommended by, or on retainer with, the City of
Burlingame.
c. The mediation meeting may be informal, and no written record is necessary
unless desired by one of the parties.
Updated July 20, 2009 - 1 I -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
d. The mediation process may include the hearing of viewpoints of lay or expert
witnesses, and shall include a site visit to the properties of the originating
party and tree owner.
e. The tree mediator shall not have the power to issue binding orders for the
restorative action,but shall strive to enable the parties to resolve their dispute.
E. GUIDELINES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
In attempting to resolve Bay view tree disputes the parties and/or mediator may consider
the following factors in determining what restorative actions, if any, are appropriate:
1. Visual quality of the tree, including but not limited to species, characteristic size,
growth, form, and vigor.
2. Location with respect to overall appearance, design, and/or use of the tree owner's
property.
3. Soil stability provided by the tree(s)
4. Visual, auditory, and wind screening provided by the tree(s) to the owner and to
neighbors. Existing privacy provided by the tree to the tree owner's home shall be
given particular weight.
5. Energy conservation and/or climate control provided by the tree(s).
6. The economic value of the tree(s) as measured by the criteria developed by the
International Society of Arboriculture and the economic value of the property as a
result of the existence or maintenance of the tree(s).
7. Wildlife habitat provided by the tree(s).
8. Other factors including: the degree to which the species is native to the area,
indigenous nature of tree species, and specimen tree quality.
9. The tree(s) relation to the Municipal Codes governing the removal or pruning of a
tree.
10. The existence of Bay views that cannot be seen from habitable structures because of
the growth of trees since the acquisition of originating party's property within the
Hillside areas subject to Burlingame Municipal Code chapter 25.61.
11. Expert opinion from mutually agreed upon tree expert(s) or an expert appointed by
the mediator with the consent of the parties.
F. RESTORATIVE ACTIONS
The mediator may recommend restorative action, consistent with requirements in the
municipal code, or no action. Restorative actions may include trimming, thinning,
topping, crown reduction, crown restoration, removal, or removal with replacement.
Written directions as to appropriate timing of restorative action may be included.
Such restorative actions are to apply only to current parties to the dispute. It will be the
responsibility of the originating party to provide the mediator with a copy of the City's
Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection and/or Street Tree Ordinance.

G. APPORTIONMENTS OF COST
1. The originating parry shall pay all costs, if any, of mediation, unless otherwise
agreed upon by all parties.
2. At any time during the procedure specified in this policy the parties may agree
between themselves as to the allocations of the costs of restorative action. If such
an agreement is not reached, the originating party shall pay one hundred percent to
the costs of the initial restorative actions, as well as the cost of subsequent
restorative actions as the result of reoccurrence of the same obstruction.

City Street Tree Themed Blocks
The Burlingame City Council adopted a policy to establish 126 street tree themed blocks. A
street tree themed block is a block in which one defined species of street tree is established and
maintained indefinitely. If a street tree is removed for any reason the tree will be replaced with
the same species. The Council also approved a policy for establishing new themed blocks. These
policies were established to help maintain the historic beauty and charm of these blocks for
future generations. If you would like more information contact the Parks and Recreation
Department at 850 Burlingame Avenue,Burlingame, CA 94010, or call(650) 558-7330.
Themed Blocks in Burlingame
Of the 126 blocks established as themed blocks, 98 will be maintained with the same species.
The remaining 28 blocks are planted with trees that are no longer considered as appropriate street
trees. As trees are removed, these blocks would be replanted with different species that will
maintain the aesthetic feel and canopy of the original dominant species. The designated
replacement trees for these blocks are listed in the right column on the Themed Block List.
Policy for Establishing Themed Blocks
The policy for establishing a new"Themed Block" is as follows:
• The Beautification Commission will recommend"Themed Blocks"to the City Council.
• To petition the Beautification Commission for a new themed block a property owner on a
block shall gather signatures of at least 2/3 of the property owners on the block.
• Forms for the "Petition"will be provided by the Parks and Recreation Department Office.
• Petitions shall be forwarded to the Beautification Commission for recommendation to the
Council to establish a new"themed"block.
• A public hearing will be set by the Beautification Commission and notification will be
sent by staff to all property owners on the block.
• If approved, staff will determine the species theme in collaboration with the property
owners.
• Selected "themed" species will replace existing trees only when removal of an existing
tree is deemed necessary according to City policy.
Petitions for establishing a new themed block are available at the Parks and Recreation
Department Office, 850 Burlingame Avenue,Burlingame,CA 94010.

Policy for Expanding Width of Planter Strips to Accommodate Larger Canopy Trees
Background:
The City of Burlingame is Committed to creating a larger tree canopy throughout the
community and has revised the official street tree list to include only those tree species with
"the tallest,most significant canopies". In approving the revised street tree list in October of
2008,the City Council recognized that the more expansive root systems of larger-scale trees
can disrupt city sidewalks. The City Council therefore directed staff to explore opportunities
to widen planter strips to accommodate the root systems of the larger scale trees.
Planter Strip Policy:
Based on this direction,Parks and Recreation,Public Works, and Community Development
staff have developed the following"Planter Strip Policy"to apply to the construction of new
homes and additions to homes which are considered to be substantial construction as
determined by the Chief Building Official:
For new homes built in Burlingame, or when substantial construction is
performed on existing homes, property owners may be required to
increase(maximize)the planter strip width for the purpose of
accommodating root systems of large canopy trees.
Policy Guidelines:
This requirement is triggered when, during the plan check process,Public Works staff
determines that the applicant's project is subject to rehabilitating the frontage of the property
including replacement of the existing sidewalk. On many residential streets in Burlingame,
there is additional public right-of-way located between the existing sidewalks and the private
property line. This additional right-of-way varies from street to street and ranges from no
additional right-of-way to as much as five or six feet.
For projects where a new sidewalk is required,Public Works staff will also determine if there
is adequate right-of-way available to reconfigure the sidewalk to allow for a wider planter
strip. If there is, Parks and Recreation staff will make a determination on whether it is an
appropriate situation to implement this policy.
Parks Department staff will provide comments to the applicant on the preferred method of
satisfying the requirement. There are two ways that this policy requirement can be satisfied.
The planter strip may be widened along the entire width of the property, or the planter strip
may be widened at the location of the street tree(s) only. A photo of a planter strip widened at
the location of street trees is shown below. City staff must approve the final sidewalk
alignment.

Inventory of Existing Trees
All City trees with a residential street address were inventoried in 1984. The inventory has been
updated as trees have been removed and replaced. Diameter and height data has not been
updated for trees still in place from the original inventory.
Trees in City Parks do not exist on an inventory, with the exception of the trees in Washington
Park. Public Trees without an associated street address do not appear on an inventory.
The City is in need of an updated inventory of its residential trees. Staff is looking at grants for
which an updated inventory might be eligible.
The Parks & Recreation Department has a data base of each street tree in the City that includes
its location, specie, approximate size, and maintenance history.

Burlingame Maintenance Program
Maintenance Standards
The City of Burlingame Tree Crew uses maintenance standards approved by the International
Society of Arboriculture (ISA). The purpose of these standards is to develop specifications for
tree pruning. The reason for tree pruning may be to reduce risk, maintain or improve tree health
and structure, improve aesthetics or satisfy a specific need.
Several pruning types are used to achieve these standards:
• Pruning for Structure
• Pruning to Clean or Remove Deadwood
• Pruning to Thin
• Pruning to Raise
• Pruning to Reduce
• Pruning to Restore
Maintenance Cycles
City street trees are maintained according to the following:
• Street trees are generally inspected and/or maintained on a four year cycle. The City is
divided into 4 grid areas; each year a specific grid is targeted and each tree is inspected
and/or pruned.
• Larger trees (such as eucalyptus) are maintained every three years. Due to their maturity
and potential liability, the trees on Easton are evaluated by an outside arborist every three
years.
• Sycamores are maintained on a 4 year cycle.
• Miscellaneous public trees are inspected and/or maintained on a 4-6 year cycle.
Maintenance Policies
The following policies help to accentuate the goals of the City's representatives and its citizenry
in maintaining an important resource for generations to come:
1. The Park Division plants, trims, sprays, and removes trees in the City planter strips and or
right-of-ways (where there is no planter strip, City right-of-way generally extends 5-7
feet, behind the sidewalk, into the front yard of residence). Residents are not allowed to
trim or remove City trees and must call the Park Division when there are maintenance
needs or emergencies. Requests for service are usually responded to within 2-3 weeks
unless the request is of a more urgent nature.
2. The City of Burlingame only removes dead, diseased or structurally unstable trees.
Requests for removal of healthy trees will be inspected by City staff. If removal is
denied, property owner may request removal in writing to the Beautification
Commission.
3. The Park Division plants trees in spring and fall and will plant one tree at no charge at
each address or will replace a tree when removal of a tree is necessary. Upon request
Updated July 20, 2009 - 18 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
from the resident, additional trees may be planted (if space is available) for a charge of
$95.00 for each additional tree.
4. After consulting with City staff, roots behind the sidewalk may be pruned by the property
owner. By appointment, City staff will meet with residents to discuss root pruning and
installation of root barriers behind the sidewalk.
5. Sidewalks damaged by City tree roots are patched and later contracted for repair by the
Public Works Department. By action of the Council City, trees are not removed due to
sidewalk damage. Callers should be referred to the Public Works Dept. at 558-7230 for
all sidewalk damage.
6. The tree crew will trim City trees around, street lights, and lines that run from the pole to
the house.
7. City trees under primary utility lines are pruned by P.G.&E. City staff will inspect these
trees to determine if referral to P.G.&E. is warranted.
8. Sycamore trees are trimmed by City crews on a rotating 4 year cycle. Sections are
established by City staff.
9. Eucalyptus trees on City planter strips or in City right-of-ways are trimmed by a tree
pruning contractor on a 3 year cycle. Sections are established by City staff.
10. Eucalyptus trees on El Camino Real (State Highway) are responsibility of CalTrans. City
crews occasionally respond to emergencies but callers should be referred to CalTrans at
650-3584127.
11. Trees in alleyways between residences were not planted by the City and are not
maintained or removed by City crews. Property owners on either side of the easement
are generally responsible for maintenance and/or removal of easement trees and may
contact private tree companies to perform the work. They should be encouraged to
coordinate the work with adjacent property owners. If the trunk of the tree is 48" in
circumference or more (rendering it a "protected" tree) an application for private tree
removal or crown pruning by more than 1/3 must be submitted to the Parks Division for
the Arborist's review. If the alleyway or easement is determined to be City owned and if
an immediate hazard exists (i.e. limb/tree on structure, drop to house, etc.) the City's tree
crew will respond to remove the immediate hazard only.
12. Water lines, laterals, irrigation systems, etc. behind the sidewalk are the responsibility of
the property owner. The Street& Sewer Department maintains water lines, mains, clean-
outs, etc. from the sidewalk to the center of the street. City staff can inspect sites to
determine jurisdiction and responsibility. The Street and Sewer Department's telephone
number is 558-7670.

Pruning Standards
Proper pruning can enhance the structural integrity, longevity and function of trees in the urban
forest. When inappropriate pruning practices are used, tree health and structural stability can be
adversely affected.
This document identifies basic pruning standards for the City of Burlingame. These standards
apply to everyone working on public trees, including City of Burlingame employees, City
contractors,private contractors, property owners and residents.
Foundation for the Standards
The City of Burlingame recognizes the most current editions of the following benchmark
standards for tree pruning(see References):
1. American National Standards Institute(ANSI)A300 Pruning Standards
2. ANSI Z133.1 Safety Standards
3. ISA Best Management Practices: Tree Pruning
City arborists, managers, related personnel and contractors should obtain copies of the above
publications and apply the standards and guidelines when engaged in pruning operations in
Burlingame. Copies of these documents can be obtained from the International Society of
Arboriculture (see Resources). Occupational health and safety standards in the workplace shall
be observed at all times.
For street trees, Chapter 11.04 of City of Burlingame Municipal Code establishes
responsibilities regarding planting, pruning, removal and care for any tree. Any person who "cuts
down, trims, prunes, plants, removes, injures or destroys any tree" is in violation of Article
11.04.035.
Commercial contractors or property owners who wish to remove or prune a"protected tree with
a circumference of 48 inches or more when measured 54 inches above natural grade"(Chapter
11.06 of the City of Burlingame Municipal Code) shall be required to submit a Protected Tree
Permit that clearly identifies the tree species, location, work to be performed, reason why work is
necessary and a photograph. An authorized representative of the Park and Recreation
Department shall make an inspection of the tree and shall file a written report and
recommendation to the Director. A separate plan is needed for each tree.
A. Pruning Needs, Objectives and Plans
In Burlingame, there is a great diversity of trees, including conifer, broadleaf evergreens,
and deciduous species. For each species, there exists substantial variation in age, size,
condition, and structure of individual trees. As a result, pruning needs can vary; some
trees will need little or no pruning, while others will need substantial pruning. In
addition, some trees need to be pruned to improve structure, while others may need
branches removed to manage pest problems or provide clearance from overhead utility
lines.
Updated July 20, 2009 -20 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
To ensure that pruning is appropriate for the species and tree/site conditions, it is
important to have a clear understanding of the specific needs of the tree and the
objectives for pruning. Pruning objectives include the following:
• Improve structural strength and reduce failure potential
• Improve aesthetics
• Provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles and structures
• Improve safety for life and property
• Repair damage
• Reduce maintenance
The City of Burlingame is responsible for public safety in the right-of-way, and this
includes street trees. Street trees receive three general types of pruning: training, hazard
and maintenance. Training is primarily done on young trees to establish a central leader
and branching habit that ensures structural strength and low maintenance as the tree
matures. Hazard pruning is recommended when the primary objective is to reduce the
danger over a particular target. Maintenance pruning removes dead, dying, diseased,
weakly attached, crowded branches and epicormic sprouts from the tree. It also includes
raising and thinning of the crown.
Standard 1: For all city department, contractors and agencies, work plans shall be
developed either for individual trees or for groups of trees, such as trees along streets, in
parks, or on the grounds ofpublic buildings. Plans shall include.species, locations,
pruning objectives and scope of pruning. Pruning plans shall be specific for the species
to be pruned. "Tree Pruning Work Plan" attachment Cl
B. Pruning Practices
1. Pruning Cuts
Pruning is a wounding process that causes some level of injury to trees. It is
important to make pruning cuts that minimize injury or the potential for injury. For
instance, cuts should be made on branches in a manner that ensures rapid and
complete wound closure, thus reducing the potential for decay. Each cut should be
made carefully, at the correct location, leaving a smooth surface with no jagged
edges or torn bark. In general, prune first for safety, next for health and finally for
aesthetics. Information on appropriate branch removal practices and the size and
location of cuts is found in ANSI A300 Part I (Pruning) and Best Management
Practices: Tree Pruning(see References).
Several types of pruning cuts should be considered and differ in how they are made
and how the trees respond to each. The types of pruning cuts to consider are:
thinning, reduction,raising,restoring and cleaning.
Note that flush cuts increase the potential for decay and reduce the formation of
callus (woundwood) tissue above and below the wound. In some cases, flush cuts
can stimulate vigorous but incomplete callus development. Conversely, leaving
branch stubs prevents wound closure and increases the potential for decay. These
types of pruning cuts should be avoided.
Updated July 20,2009 -21 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
In most cases, the preferred place to make a final pruning cut is back to the parent
branch or trunk,just outside the branch collar. The collar should remain intact and
uninjured. Branches too large to support with one hand should be precut to avoid
splitting or tearing of the bark. If necessary, rope or other equipment should be used
to lower large branches or portion of branches to the ground.
Standard 2: All pruning cuts shall conform to ANSI A300 standards (Part 1:
Pruning). Do not make flush cuts or leave branch stubs.
2. Amount of Pruning
The amount of live tissue that should be removed depends on the tree size, species
and age as well as the pruning objectives. Younger trees tolerate the removal of a
higher percentage of living tissue than mature trees. As a general rule, mature trees
are less tolerant of severe pruning than younger trees since smaller cuts close faster
and are more easily compartmentalized than larger cuts. Removing a large diameter
limb can cause a wound that the tree may not be able to close. Removal of live
branches and associated leaf area can have a negative impact on the health of trees.
Never remove more than 25% of the tree crown. When relatively large amounts of
leaf area are removed, the capacity of a tree to produce energy for growth and pest
resistance is diminished. Pruning should be limited to that amount needed to
accomplish the pruning objective. In some cases, it may be best to complete
pruning over a two- or three-year period rather than do all that is needed in one
year. The older the tree becomes the less energy it has in reserve to close wounds
and defend against decay or insect attack. Pruning large mature trees should be
limited to removal of dead branches or to reduce any structural defects.
In addition, excessive pruning or over thinning stimulates watersprout development
in many species. Watersprouts are usually weakly attached and prone to breaking
at the point of attachment. Crown density can increase substantially due to
watersprout production, resulting in a loss of tree form and reduction in light
penetration. Also, excessive pruning can lead to sunburn injury to bark tissue.
Standard 3: Not more than 25% of the crown shall be removed within an annual
growing season. The amount of living tissue removed will depend on the age,
size, health, and specie& Stressed trees are less tolerant of pruning, and leaf area
removal should be minimal. In cases where more than 25% of the crown needs to
be removed, such as to reduce the potential for structural failure, a qualified
arborist shall make an assessment of the amount of pruning needed to abate the
hazard When possible, such pruning should be scheduled over a two or three
year period Pruning should be minimal on mature trees or species prone to
watersprout development.
3. When to Prune
In Burlingame, the time of year to prune can vary depending on pruning needs,
objectives, and species. Pruning when trees are dormant can minimize the risk of
pest problems associated with wound entry and allows the tree to take full
Updated July 20, 2009 - 22 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
advantage of the growing season to begin closing the wounds. Generally, trees can
be pruned throughout the year, but the following times need to be avoided:
a. When pest problems may result from pruning (e.g., insect infestation or
disease infection).
b. After the initial spring growth flush. This is when trees have just used stored
energy to produce foliage and removal of live branches can stress the tree.
c. Pruning trees when birds(or other wildlife species) are actively nesting.
Standard 4. Generally, pruning can be done throughout the year. For some trees,
however, certain periods or seasons need to be avoided. For species susceptible to
particular insect or disease problems, avoid pruning at times of the year when the
problem will be exacerbated (e.g., do not prune pines during the spring and
.summer months in order to minimize the potential for bark beetle infestations, do
not prune elms during the summer months to avoid Dutch elm disease infection and
transmission). For trees with a notable flowering trait, avoid pruning prior to or
during flowering periods(unless flowers cause allergic reactions).
4. Wound Treatments
Wound dressings and paints have been used to treat or cover pruning wounds, and
were once thought to accelerate wound closure and reduce decay. There is no
scientific evidence to indicate that these treatments are beneficial or reduce decay or
accelerate wound closure. Wound dressings are not required or recommended and
are viewed as being unnecessary.
Standard 5. Pruning wound treatments (dressings and paints) shall not be used.
5. Pruning Tools
Proper tools are essential for satisfactory pruning. The choice of tools to be used
depends on the size of the branches and the amount of pruning to be done. Bark
surrounding the cut should not be torn, shredded, stripped away, or separated from
the wood. This can be accomplished by using pruning equipment that is sharp and
sized appropriately for the job. To ensure satisfactory cuts are made, keep pruning
tools sharp and in good working condition. Clean, well-maintained equipment
(blades, chains, bars, and air/fuel filters) produces cleaner cuts with less effort,
improves worker safety, and reduces the potential for the spread of pathogens.
Injury to bark tissue can occur from the use of climbing spikes (gaffs, climbing
spurs) and tie ropes. Resulting wounds can lead to localized bark death and wood
decay, and can serve as entryway for insects and pathogens. Wounds from ropes
can be reduced by the use of friction savers at the tie point.
Standard 6. Pruning equipment shall be sharp and sized appropriately for the
pruning cut. Avoid the use of any pruning and climbing equipment that may cause
damage to bark tissue. Spikes (climbing spurs) shall not be used for climbing trees
unless the tree is being removed, or when limbs are more than throwline-distance
apart and there is no other means of climbing the tree. Pruning tools shall be
treated with a disinfectant (.such as Lysol or a 1: 9 bleach mixture) when pruning
Updated July 20, 2009 -23 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
trees infected with a pathogen that may be transmitted (on tools)from one tree to
another of the same species, such as elms ( J1mus spp.).
C.Pruning Techniques
1. Pruning Types
There are several different pruning types used in arboriculture to achieve various
objectives: cleaning, thinning, raising, reduction, and restoration. Each of these
pruning types is described in the following publications: ANSI A300 Standards and
Best Management Practices: Tree Pruning (see References). It is important to be
familiar with each type to develop a plan of work before pruning a tree.
a. Pruning to Clean
Cleaning is the selective removal of dead, diseased, broken or weakly attached
branches. Regular pruning should correct small growth problems, reduce the
risk of branches falling and limit the movement of decay, insects and diseases
from dead branches.
b. Pruning to Thin
Thinning is the selective removal of branches to reduce crown density and
provide light penetration and air movement through the crown. Increased light
and air stimulate and maintain the inner foliage. Thinning toward the tips can
reduce wind-sail and relieve the weight of heavy limbs. Proper thinning
should maintain the trees natural shape and structure. Over thinning can have
adverse effects such as an excessive amount of watersprouts or lions tailing.
c. Prune to Raise
Raising is the selective removal of branches to provide vertical clearance. The
City of Burlingame requires tree clearances for the following situations:
pedestrians on sidewalks, streetlights and signals, vehicles on roadways and
vistas. Street trees should be pruned to maintain a 14-foot vertical clearance
over curbing, and 8-foot clearance over sidewalks. Excessive removal of the
lower limbs should be avoided so that the development of trunk taper is not
affected and structural stability is maintained.
d. Pruning to Reduce
Reduction is the selective removal of branches and stems to decrease the
height and/or spread of a tree. Reduction pruning is used to minimize the risk
of failure, maintain the structural integrity, reduce the height or spread, and to
provide clearance for utility lines. This is done by cutting back limbs to their
point of origin or back to a lateral that is generally one third the diameter of
the removed portion. No more than 25% of the tree's foliage should be
removed.
e. Pruning for Restoration
Restoration is the selective removal of branches, sprouts, and stubs from trees
that have been topped, severely headed, vandalized, broken in a storm or
otherwise damaged. The restoration pruning objective is to improve the
Updated July 20, 2009 -24 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
structure and appearance of a tree by selecting limbs that are evenly
distributed to give the tree a more natural form.
Standard 7. In Burlingame, all those engaged in tree pruning operations shall be
familiar with each of the pruning types. Selection of the pruning type(s) shall be
based on pruning objective.
2. Topping and Heading Cuts
Topping is the reduction of a tree's size using heading cuts that shorten limbs or
branches back to a predetermined crown limit. Topping is not an acceptable
pruning practice (see ANSI A300 Standards).
Heading is defined as cutting a currently growing or one-year-old shoot back to a
bud, or cutting an older branch or stem back to a stub in order to meet a defined
structural objective, or cutting an older branch or stem back to a lateral branch (see
ANSI A300 Standards).
When pruning mature trees, heading cuts should be avoided for the following
reasons:
• Vigorous shoots can be stimulated to grow just below the heading cut.
Typically, these shoots are weakly attached, poorly tapered, and have a high
failure potential.
• Wood decay can develop in the cut branch or stem. Often, decay extends well
into the branch or stem and reduces its structural strength. This increases
failure potential.
• The tree's natural form can be lost in many cases, particularly when relatively
large diameter cuts are made.
In very limited cases, heading cuts may be appropriate for mature trees, such as:
• To reduce tree height or branch end weights. Note: This approach should be
employed only in cases where there is high risk of structural failure and
thinning cuts (reduction cuts) cannot be used. Also, follow-up pruning to
minimize risk associated with weakly-attached shoots will be needed.
3. Pollarding
Pollarding is a training system that involves severe heading the first year, and
requires the removal of all of the current season's growth that forms near the cut
branch ends annually. Eventually, tissues at the end of the branch develop to form
enlarged and rounded structures, referred to as "knuckles". The pollarding process
should be started when the tree is young. Pollarding is typically reserved for certain
deciduous species, such as London plane (Platanus x acerifolia). Generally,
pollarding is not recommended because it requires a high level of maintenance
(annual pruning) and tree benefits are reduced by the annual reduction of canopy
size. Pollarding is not appropriate for conifers and broadleaf evergreen species.
Updated July 20, 2009 -25 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Standard 8: Heading and topping cuts shall not be used when pruning mature
trees, except in very limited cases. Whenever possible, use reduction cuts to reduce
height and thinning cuts to reduce weight.
4. Utility Pruning
Pruning trees to maintain clearance from high voltage distribution lines is a
requirement for the local utility (Pacific Gas and Electric, PG&E). This is a highly
specialized area of pruning that requires extensive training in safe work practices
and appropriate pruning techniques. Guidelines providing detailed information
regarding appropriate pruning practices for utility line clearance (such as lateral or
directional pruning) are given in the Utility Pruning section of the ANSI A300
Pruning Standards (see References).
Standard 9: Utility pruning requires extensive training in safe work practices and
specialized pruning techniques. Prior to pruning trees for line clearance, all
workers shall have documented training that meets utility and tree industry
.standards. Pruning practices shall follow guidelines described in ANSI A300
Pruning Standards (see References). A plan of work that incorporates these
practices shall be developed prior to pruning. Trees under wires will either be
removed or pruned to a lateral that will direct growth away from the wires.
D. Structural Pruning of Young Trees
When young trees are structurally pruned (or "trained") they develop stronger structure,
require less maintenance, and are longer lived than trees that are not structurally pruned.
There are five basic steps for training young trees:
1. Remove broken, dead, dying or damaged branches.
2. Establish a central leader.
3. Select and establish the lowest permanent branch.
4. Establish scaffold branches that are well spaced with good attachments.
5. Select temporary branches on the trunk below the permanent branch to provide
energy and shade to the trunk.
The training process should continue over several years.
Standard 10: Trees should be structurally pruned when they are young. Young trees
will need follow-up pruning, preferably three times in the first five years, and then
periodically as they develop through the juvenile phase into maturity.
E. Pruning Mature Trees
Many factors must be considered when pruning mature trees. These include site, time of
year, species, size, growth habit, vitality and maturity of the tree. Generally, mature trees
are less tolerant of severe pruning cuts than younger tree which can tolerate the removal
of a higher percentage of living tissue. Large, mature trees should require little routine
pruning.
Updated July 20, 2009 -26 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Never remove more than 25% of the tree's leaf-bearing canopy in one season. Always
specify which type of pruning listed above will be required to reach the objective.
Standard 11: Based on the pruning objective, mature trees should be pruned by one of
the pruning types. Never remove more than one-quarter of the trees canopy in a single
season.
F. Palm Pruning
There are several species of palms throughout Burlingame's urban forest. Being
monocots, these trees have a different anatomy and form than conifer, broadleaf
evergreen, or deciduous species. Monocots do not produce wood and do not have annual
growth rings. Their supportive fibers occur in bundles throughout the stem. As a result,
they require special care, particularly in regard to pruning. Generally, only dead fronds
(palm leaves) should be removed. The removal of live fronds should be limited to those
that are broken or severely chlorotic. Fronds should be removed carefully to avoid
damage to living tissue. To avoid transmitting disease-causing organisms on pruning
tools, it is important to disinfect tools before and after pruning individual trees.
Standard 12: Palm pruning should be limited to the removal of dead, broken and
strongly chlorotic fronds. Live, healthy fronds should not be removed. Fronds should be
severed close to the petiole base without damaging living trunk tissue. Palm fruit
flowers, and loose petiole bases should be removed if deemed to be a safety risk. A
disinfectant (such as Clorox or rubbing alcohol) shall be used on pruning tools before
and after pruning individual trees. Climbing spikes or spurs shall not be used to climb
palms for pruning.
G. Root Pruning
Root pruning is a practice that may be necessary to address conflicts with infrastructure
elements (sidewalks and curbs). Usually when the damage occurs to infrastructure and
repairs are needed, roots are removed. Root pruning is intended to reduce or eliminate
future infrastructure damage or replacement.
Since this practice results in the loss of roots, both tree health and structural stability are
affected. As a result, it is critical to be fully aware of practices used to minimize root-
pruning impacts. Keep in mind that certain trees should not be root pruned, such as trees
in poor condition or trees that are leaning. In addition, some species do not respond well
to root pruning, such as pepper tree (Schinus spp.), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera),
camphor (Cinnamomum camphora), Chinese evergreen elm (Ulmus parvifolia), and
callery pear(Pyres calleryana).
To minimize root-pruning impacts, a tree assessment should be conducted prior to
pruning. Both tree and conditions need to be evaluated to determine the potential for
injury and structural stability loss. Following the assessment, a plan should be developed
that identifies the maximum allowable size of roots to be cut, allowable proximity to the
trunk for cuts, time of year when root cutting is allowable, and the most suitable method
for making cuts. Both the assessment and plan should be completed by a qualified
arborist.
Updated July 20, 2009 -27 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Standard 13: Root pruning should be considered only when other options for correcting
a conflict between roots and infrastructure are deemed not practical. For trees requiring
root pruning, a tree and root assessment shall be conducted by the City Arborist or an
authorized representative of the Park and Recreation Department. Avoid root pruning
during times of the year when wind loads on trees are greatest, such as during the winter
months. Crown pruning prior to or following root pruning shall be done only in cases
where the potential for structural failure may increase substantially because of root
pruning.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Planting Techniques
Six steps to successful tree planting:
1. Dig the planting hole. Before digging locate all underground utilities and pipes such as
water, gas and electrical. The planting hole needs to be only as deep as the container of
the tree allowing for the root ball to sit 1 to 2 inches above the finished grade. The bottom
of the hole should be compacted to ensure root ball will not settle. The hole should be at
least twice the diameter of the container and the sides should be scored or sloped rather
than vertical.
2. Tree Preparation. The tree purchased should be of good quality. Inspect container
before purchase for girdling, circling or twisted roots.. Remove tree form container and
prune and broken, circling or girdling roots. Roots matted along the sides and bottoms or
a container can be cut and spread apart. Remove any dead limbs and correct any
structural defects such as multiple leaders.
3. Planting. Lightly compact bottom of the whole to avoid settling. Place tree in the hole
and check depth to make sure that the final height of the root ball is I to 2 inches above
grade. Check that the trunk is straight.
4. Backfilling. Soil from the hole should be satisfactory for backfill. If it is of poor quality,
amendments may be added. Amended soil has not shown any significant benefits from
native soil. Place backfill evenly around root ball and lightly compact and add water to
eliminate air pockets. Any excess soil can be used to form a berm around the edge of the
hole to hold in water.
5. Staking. Staking a newly planted tree protects the trunk, anchors the roots and supports
the crown. Use a 2 inch round lodge pole stake (3 inch for 24 box size trees) and if
possible, place it on the windward side of the tree for support. The stake should be place
outside the root ball and 2 to 3 inch rubber ties should be installed with a twist and nailed
back to the stake. Staking the tree too loosely will not support the tree; staking to tightly
will not allow the tree to flex in the wind and develop a taper to support the tree. Staking
is only a temporary treatment and the stake should be removed after 1-2 years.
6. Mulching. Place 34 inches of organic mulch around the tree to retain moisture. Avoid
piling on mulch against the trunk of the tree.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Landscaaina Around Established Trees
Objective: To reduce the negative impacts when improving the landscaping around established
City Street Trees.
• Tree Protection Zone(TPZ)
The area specified by the City Arborist typically within or beyond the tree's dripline. The
TPZ is critical to tree survival and lies in the upper 3 feet of the soil surface. This is a
restricted area and the soil should not be disturbed unless otherwise approved
• Avoid Root Damage
Ninety percent of root damage occurs in the upper 18" of soil due to equipment and
compaction. Rototiller, trenchers and hand tools cause damage to the surface feeder roots
and this is the largest single factor responsible for a trees decline during landscape
projects.
• Compaction
Compression within the upper 18" of the soil structure may cause an impermeable layer
where water and air cannot circulate and cause damage to the root and decline to the tree.
Avoid heavy equipment under the TPZ or placing heavy stones such as river rock as
ground cover. Do not use this area as storage site for material during the project.
• Ground Cover/Mulch/Rocks
Ground cover, small shrubs and small stones may be used as covering underneath trees.
Leave 1-2 feet clear around base of trunk to allow for proper air circulation.
Avoid large heavy stone and do not place sod up around base of tree. Use permeable
weed fabric and never use plastic as a weed barrier
• Water and Air
Irrigate the TPZ prior to start of landscape project and continue to keep moist until the
completion of the project. The soil should be kept wet but not soaking to a depth of 24 -
30 inches. This will prevent the tree from becoming drought stressed. Keep the TPZ free
from compaction, this will allow for air circulation around the root zone and prevent the
roots from suffocating.
• Grade Changes
Grade changes within the TPZ are not permitted unless otherwise approved by the City
Arborist. Approved grade changes shall not allow for more than 4 inches of fill soil. To
prevent decay, new soil shall not be placed around root flare.
Updated July 20, 2009 -30 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Tree Protection During Construction
Construction damage is one of the most common causes of tree death and decline in urban areas.
Unless the damage is extreme, trees may not die immediately, but could decline over several
years. Because construction equipment is operated next to trees, damage to trees is likely to
occur. Branches will be broken, trunks are wounded, pruning cuts are made by untrained
construction workers, but the most serious damage to tree caused by construction is
underground. Root systems of trees may spread a distance beyond the root zone. The small,
absorbing roots are generally located in the upper few inches of soil. The soil can become
compacted by construction equipment and the small roots can be damaged or killed and the
result could be yellowing leaves, dead twigs, and, large limbs may eventually die.
Prior to construction, an on-site inspection should be preformed by a qualified arborist. The
arborist must be able to communicate his needs of tree preservation with the developer,
contractor or homeowner. The arborist should evaluate each trees condition and suitability for
saving. Specifications should written with the intent to protect selected trees and should detail
exactly what can and cannot be done to and around the trees.
To avoid tree damage during construction, the following will be considered in order to protect
trees from injury:
• Erect Barriers — Erect barriers as early as possible, a physical barrier should be
established around the trees that are to be preserved. This fence can be made out of wood,
plastic, wire or a combination and placed as far out from the trunks of the tree as
possible. As a guideline, allow 1 foot from the trunk for each inch of trunk diameter. The
intent is to protect not only the overhead branches but also the root system. The area
inside the barrier must be kept clear and not used for storage of materials, parking, waste
accumulation, or travel of trucks and heavy equipment.
• Limit Access—If possible allow only one access route on and off property.
• Reduce Compaction — Soil compaction caused by heavy equipment will close the air
spaces in the soil. Without air and moisture, roots will die and cause dieback in the
canopy. To reduce compaction, spread a thick layer(about 6 -12 inches) of mulch around
the base of trees, and to obtain addition additional weight dispersal place large sheets of
plywood over the mulch.
• Avoid Grade Changes— Changes in grade can be devastating to trees. If the grade is to
be raised,the addition of only a few inches of soil around a tree could suffocate the roots
and kill some species. Tree wells and aeration systems could be installed to preserve the
tree. If the grade must be lowered,terracing or tree islands can be constructed to increase
tree survival.

Landscaping Impacts
Landscaping is a popular option for homeowners who want to improve the curb appeal of their
home. If done incorrectly and without regard to the City's street trees, may lead to the death of
trees.
When improving the landscape, take into consideration the location, size and variety of the City
street tree. At the request of the homeowner, Park staff will gladly meet with residents to discuss
the health and care of a City tree before the project begins.
Before starting a landscape project consider the following:
• Never change the grade around the base of the tree. Adding soil around the base of a
tree may cause the tree to die by suffocating the root zone. Removing soil may damage
feeder roots.
• Never place sod directly up to the base of the tree. Allow at least one foot for young
tree or at least 2 feet for older trees of sod free soil around each tree. Placing sod directly
to the base of trees will cause the base of the tree to stay moist which may encourage
decay.
• Root barriers. Placing root barriers around newly planted trees will delay the roots from
entering landscape and turf areas. For young trees,bury the root barriers as far away from
trunk as possible. For established trees, roots can be cut and root barriers installed.
Contact the Parks Division for specific instructions.
• Damaging surface roots. Many tree roots lie within the first 8" of soil absorbing as
much water as possible from lawns and landscape areas. Care must be taken when
installing new lawns or landscapes, not to damage or remove a significant amount of
roots. Rototillers, sod cutters, hand tools and heavy equipment can all cause injury or
death to existing tree. The weight of large rocks may cause compaction, and they are
discouraged as ground cover under trees. Contact the Parks Division on how to handle
roots in these situations before the project begins.
• Irrigation. The preferred method of irrigating new and established trees is by drip
irrigation. This allows water to be absorbed into the soil with minimal loss by
evaporation. It allows for water to penetrate deep into the soil and force root growth
down and away from landscapes and sidewalks. It also conserves water. The drip system
should be placed under the trees drip zone and moved outward yearly, as the tree grows.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Sidewalk Impacts and Replacement
Damage to urban infrastructure by tree roots is a significant problem in cities throughout the
world. In the United States virtually every city has sidewalks, curbs, and gutters that have been
cracked, uplifted by tree roots, or both. Damage to infrastructure elements are not only costly to
repair, but they represent liability risks that can't be ignored. In addition, many trees (typically
repeat offenders) are removed because of infrastructure- related damage. In California this is the
second most common reason for tree removal. Collectively, tree loss, infrastructure repair costs,
and liability issues make this a significant problem that merits close attention from arborists,
urban foresters,planners, and engineers. (L.R. Costello 2005)
If any sidewalk near or around City trees are scheduled to be repaired, a City arborist, supervisor
or staff member must be notified before roots are cut or sidewalk is replaced.
The following shall be considered when replacing sidewalk damage that is caused by tree roots:
• Health and Structure of tree.
• Future cost or damage to sidewalk.
If the tree is deemed healthy and structurally sound, several sidewalk design alternatives will be
recommended to increase the planting space for the current tree and future trees.
• Curving sidewalks — When at all possible, increasing the City right-of-way toward the
homeowner's property for the minimum ADA requirement will be encouraged. This will
increase the growing area for the current tree, protect roots, and provide a larger planting
area for future large-stature tree species.
• Ramping— Where root pruning is not an option, ramping may be the only alternative to
avoid root damage and tree preservation. Ramps must not exceed the requirements for the
American with Disabilities Act.
• Root Barriers — Root barriers can be placed in strategic locations to delay sidewalk
damage or damage to landscape. City staff can suggest areas where root barriers would
be useful.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Trees & Roadway Impacts
Administered by the Public Works Department
Critical Minimum Street Width Policy
for Managing Street Tree Impacts in the Roadway
INTRODUCTION
Cities and counties typically have jurisdiction and responsibility over the roadway. These
roadways are classified as: local street, collector street, arterial street, and highway. Freeways
fall within the jurisdiction of the State of California(Caltrans).
STATE STANDARDS
Local Street — Limited width and limited vehicular volume. A local street has standard travel
lane widths of 12 feet, resulting in a two-lane street width no greater than 24 feet when on-street
parking is prohibited. Substandard lane widths of 10 feet and 11 feet may be used under special
circumstances. A local street serves as direct access for homes and residents. The average daily
traffic (ADT)volume of a local street is no more than 2,000 vehicles per day.
Collector Street— A collector street has standard travel lanes no less than 12 feet wide per lane,
with a total roadway width of 24 feet when on-street parking is prohibited. Similar to local
streets, substandard lane widths of 10 feet and 11 feet may be used under special circumstances.
The collector street serves to "collect" residential traffic from one or more local streets and
channels them through the city in a more efficient manner. The ADT volume for a collector
street is no more than 15,000 vehicles per day.
Arterial Street and Highway — Serves as main thoroughfare to move large numbers of vehicles
through the city. Traffic from local and collector streets are fed into the arterial streets and
highways. The roadway width of an arterial street or highway usually exceeds 40 feet in width,
and can accommodate traffic volumes above 15,000 vehicles per day. Lane configuration varies
from two-lanes to four-lanes with and without on-street parking.
Freeway — A freeway is a multi-lane roadway corridor that facilitates large-scale vehicle
movement between regional areas and metropolitan centers. Within the boundaries of
Burlingame, ADT volumes for freeways easily exceed 50,000 vehicles per day. This type of
roadway is under the jurisdiction and responsibility of Caltrans.
Updated July 20, 2009 -35 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
BURLINGAME MINIMUM STREET WIDTH FOR SAFE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
Many of the streets in Burlingame were constructed in the early 1900s. Modern street width
standards for local and collector streets had not yet been established; and, as a result, there are
situations where the city's streets are typically narrower than those currently specified by state
standards. The minimum roadway widths listed below are established to take into account the
overall narrowness of local and collector streets in Burlingame.
• Local street without parking— The minimum lane width for local streets without parking
will be 10 feet wide per lane of through-traffic. Therefore, two-lane roadways in
Burlingame will have a total minimum roadway width of 20 feet, as measured from curb
face to curb face. (While statewide accepted standard roadway width is 12 feet.)
• Local street with parking—If on-street parking is allowed on a local street, a parking lane
width of 6 feet per lane will be used. This results in a total minimum desirable roadway
width of 32 feet for a two-lane local street assuming parking on both sides. However,
due to existing conditions of narrow road width and parking demand, the width could be
reduced to no less than 30 feet.
• Collector street without parking — The minimum lane width for collector streets without
parking will be 11 feet wide per lane of through traffic. Therefore, two-lane roadways
shall have a total minimum roadway width of 22 feet; and, four-lane roadways shall have
a total minimum roadway width of 44 feet, as measured from curb face to curb face.
• Collector street with parking — If on-street parking is allowed on a collector street, a
parking lane width of 6 feet per lane will be used, resulting in a total minimum roadway
width of 34 feet for a two-lane collector street; or, 56 feet for four-lane collector streets
assuming parking on both sides.
STREET TREES
The City of Burlingame has made great efforts to promote "quality of life" issues to benefit its
citizens. The planting and preservation of street trees have been an excellent example. Street
trees are typically planted within the parking strips of residential and collector streets. In some
cases, the trees have grown such that their trunks, roots or root systems now encroach and
intrude into the roadway causing damage to sidewalks, curbs and gutters, as well as the roadway
surfaces. This intrusion and encroachment also pose safety problems in the form of diminished
sight-visibility at intersections.
This policy provides minimum roadway widths, as well as a set of criteria and a process to
manage impacts caused by tree roots, tree trunks or other physical features that present safety
hazards to the vehicular traffic, pedestrian traffic, and general public.
Updated July 20, 2009 - 36 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
MINIMUM STREET WIDTH RELATED TO TREE ROOT IMPACTS
• There shall be no horizontal encroachment into either a local or collector roadway that
reduced the travel lane width to less than 10 feet, or 20 feet for two-lane roads.
• There shall be no vertical displacement greater than 3-inches into the minimum travel
lane width as described above.
• Any physical objects including tree roots and tree trunks that reduce sight visibility and
safe-stopping distances (as specified in the Caltrans Roadway Design Manual) will be
considered for removal, or for an alternative course of action.
UTILITIES
• If a tree has grown directly over a utility line (such as water line, sewer line, gas line,
electric line or storm drain line), or its roots have intruded into a utility pipe system; and,
is causing damage to the utility, the tree will be considered for removal, or for an
alternative course of action.
ALTERNATIVES TO TREE REMOVAL
Before considering a tree removal,the following alternate actions will be explored.
• Installation of warning signs — The Public Works Department will examine the use of
warning signs as a possible first-line safety measure to notify drivers of potential
obstructions which are in the overall roadway area, but have not yet encroached into the
minimum travel lane width of 10 feet in excess of 3 inches height. Signs will be
evaluated for appropriateness, and to ensure that they are sanctioned signs that have state
and federal departments of transportation approval.
• Root barriers — The Parks and Recreation Department will examine the use of root
barriers on tree roots that begin to encroach into the roadway area, but have not yet
encroached into the actual travel lane.
• Root grinding — The Parks and Recreation Department will consider root grinding as a
measure to reduce uplifting of the roadway asphalt or concrete sidewalk areas. Root
grinding would be considered as an alternate when it can be done without adversely
affecting the health and stability of the tree. The Parks and Recreation Department will
coordinate with the Public Works Department to carry out the grinding and
asphalt/concrete repair as a part of normal operations.
• Removal of on-street parking— The Public Works Department will consider the removal
of on-street parking to accommodate tree growth and preserve public safety. The
department will conduct field investigations to evaluate the feasibility of this alternative,
present its findings to the Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) and receive
public input. If recommended by the TSPC and approved by Council, the Public Works
Department will proceed with the parking removal.
• In addition to the listed alternate actions, if a location meets the definition or
classification of an historical site and is designated as such, staff will work with the
Beautification Commission to secure grant funding to make a physical change in the
street to preserve historical trees.
PROACTIVE TREE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Public Works and Parks staff will proactively conduct annual street surveys and tree inspections
Updated July 20, 2009 - 37 -
URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
to identify potential tree root issues before they become traffic and public safety problems. Staff
will develop possible solutions to avoid tree root intrusion into the minimum roadway width as
defined above. Tree roots and tree trunks that reduce roadway width below state standards will
be noted and logged for additional evaluation. The Parks and Recreation Department will take
the lead on annual tree inspections, while the Public Works Department will be responsible for
the annual street surveys.
PROCESS OUTLINE
• Field inspections will be conducted by Parks and Public Works staff. This will include
annual tree inspections and street surveys.
• Locations that are identified by the field inspections to be potential problems will be
forwarded to the city arborist for consultation of appropriate measures.
• A recommendation will then be made to the Beautification Commission and the Traffic,
Safety & Parking Commission on the most effective and desirable measures of action.
The commissions will make the final approval on a course of action.
• Decisions of the commissions may be appealed to the City Council.
POLICY EXAMPLES
Example#1:
A tree root has encroached into the 20-foot width of travel lanes of a two-lane roadway
and has raised the roadway by more than 3 inches. Staff would consult the city arborist
to determine if the root or roots can be ground down. Staff would then proceed with a
course of action based on the arborist's recommendation. If the arborist believes that
grinding/trimming the roots would de-stabilize the tree or adversely affect the health of
the tree, staff would present these findings to the Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission
and the Beautification Commission. However, if the root intrusion is outside of the travel
lane, staff will monitor the situation. If appropriate, root barriers may be installed, as
advised by the city arborist.
Example #2:
A 6-foot fence, mature tree, or other large obstruction is situated near the corner of an
intersection between two streets. If the obstruction is located such that its placement
causes a sight-visibility problem or severely reduces the safe approach speeds for
vehicles entering into the intersection, the obstruction would be considered for removal
or modification to improve the sight-visibility at that location. Staff would present these
findings to the Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission and the Beautification
Commission.

URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Criteria for Tree Removal
"Identifying and managing the risk associated with trees is a subjective process.
Since the nature of tree failures remains largely unknown, our ability to predict
which trees will fail and in what fashion is limited. As currently practiced, tree
evaluation involves examining a tree for structural defects, associating those
defects with a known pattern of failure and rating the degree of risk. "
(Matheny/Clark)
"Hazard tree evaluation is the systematic process of assessing the potential for a
tree or one of its parts to fail and injure people or damage property. The primary
goal of hazard evaluation is to identify potentially hazardous trees so they can be
treated before failure occurs. All hazards cannot be eliminated. However, by
evaluation trees and rating the hazards associated with them, the arborist can
prioritize and schedule abatement treatments to reduce the level of risk"
(Matheny/Clark)
Generally, city street trees and private protected trees are only approved for removal when
determined by the City arborist that a tree has structural defects, disease, or is in close proximity
to an existing structure.
Appeals to staff decisions can be made to the Beautification Commission (see Public/Political
Input and Appeals Process).

Plan to Plant in New Areas
The City encourages home owners to plant new trees on their property. In addition, the City has
planted over 500 more trees than have been removed in the past four years, averaging 125
additional trees each year.
Planting Additional City Street Trees
In 2006, the City Council requested that the Burlingame Beautification Commission make a
recommendation concerning the planting of vacant planting sites in the City (residential
addresses with a designated City planting strip). In an effort to be proactive in planting efforts, a
survey was taken throughout the City of planter strips that were lacking street trees. More than
450 vacant sites were identified. A State grant was applied for to purchase and plant trees in
these vacant planter areas. In February of 2008, the Green Trees for the Golden State Grant was
awarded to the City to purchase and plant 450 new street trees. The first planting took place in
November of 2008 and a second planting is planned for November of 2009.

SUBJECT: Facility Fee Waivers for Neighborhood Group Meetings
RECOMMENDATION: that the Council concurs with the Council Subcommittee on Civic Engagement to
waive meeting room rental fees for neighborhood groups meeting for the purpose of community building,
when additional staff costs are not incurred.
BACKGROUND: Experience with natural disasters has demonstrated that neighborhoods that have taken
proactive measures to prepare themselves will be far better served when such an emergency occurs.
Neighborhood Watch programs have also been very helpful in identifying suspicious behavior, especially
when efforts have been undertaken to build neighbor relationships and awareness.
Individuals working on the Neighborhood Network program have found that more than 100 people are
interested in being involved in a neighborhood organizing effort. But some groups are having trouble finding a
place to hold meetings, particularly one that doesn't charge for the use of a room. In some cases,the meeting
organizers do not have the ability to accommodate a large group of neighbors at their homes.
At a recent meeting, the Council Civic Engagement Subcommittee agreed to approach the City Council with
a request to waive meeting fees in City facilities for neighborhood groups that are meeting for the purpose of
organizing a neighborhood or planning activities to enhance emergency preparedness and crime prevention
and to promote networking among neighbors for the purpose of community awareness and familiarity. Only
in cases where additional cost for staff or setup would be incurred would such meetings be assessed a fee to
cover those costs. Any group wishing to obtain fee waivers for such meeting would need to receive prior
approval by the City Manager's office, which would verify that the group plans to meet for the purposes
described above.
To ensure that neighborhood groups don't dominate or tie up too much space in our facilities groups receiving
the fee waivers will be allowed to pre-schedule only one meeting at a time. In creating such a policy it is not
our intention that such fee waivers would be extended to apply to special events or fund raisers by such
neighborhood groups. In approving the fee waiver for these purposes the city manager is authorized to work
with the department heads to determine the rooms in our various facilities that are available for such
neighborhood meetings.
BUDGET IMPACT: Other than time required to schedule the use and respond to facility availability
questions and electricity cost, we don't anticipate any loss of existing rental fees for such purposes nor any
additional cost.

SUBJECT: Sub Committees to Prepare Ballot Arguments
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that the Mayor appoint a Council Subcommittee(s)to prepare ballot
arguments for the TOT and Appointed City Clerk ballot measures.
BACKGROUND: The Council has taken the necessary steps to place two ballot measures on the November
2009 ballot. One is to raise the transient occupancy tax (hotel tax) from 10%to 12% and the second one is to
move from an elected city clerk to an appointed City Clerk. As per Attachment A, state law prescribes the
process for arguments for and against ballot measures. The first round of arguments is due to the County by
August 14`h and the counter arguments are due 10 days later.

Jim:
I have reviewed the elections code regarding the ballot measure arguments.The following information
may be helpful in providing some direction regarding ballot measure arguments for the two measures
which the City Council has placed before the voters for the November 3,2009 election.(The"who,what,
where,how and how long"of ballot arguments)
1)Who can submit an argument for or against a ballot measure?
-the Council
-a member or members of the Council,if authorized by the Council
-an individual,eligible voter
-a bona fide organization of citizens
-any combination of voters and associations
(Elections Code section 9282)
2)What is the permitted length of an argument?
-no more than 300 words
(Elections Code section 9282)
3)Where are the arguments filed?
-with the City Clerk
(Elections Code section 9282)
4)Must the arguments be signed by the authors?
-yes,the ballot arguments must be signed by the authors
(Elections Code section 9283)
5)How many persons can sign the argument?
-no more than FIVE persons
(Elections Code section 9283)
6)When can rebuttal arguments be filed?
-ten days after the final date for filing the initial arguments(as indicated by the City Clerk)
(Elections Code section 9285)
7)What is the permitted length of a rebuttal argument?
-no more than 250 words
(Elections Code section 9285)
8)If more than one argument is filed for or against the measure,who chooses which argument to print
in the ballot?
-if multiple arguments are filed for or against a measure,the City Clerk chooses which argument
to print.
(Elections Code section 9287)
9)How does the City Clerk choose which argument to use?
-the clerk shall follow these priorities
a)the Council or member(s)of the Council
b)individual voter,bona fide association of citizens or combination,who are bona fide
sponsors or
7/8/2009
Page 2 of 2
proponents of the measure
c) bona fide associations of citizens
d) individual voters who are eligible to vote
(Elections Code section 9287)
A few key issues to remember.
First, if a councilmember or members are going to submit a ballot argument, and they want that ballot argument to
have priority over the arguments submitted by others, the City Council must authorize them to submit the
arguments as required by Elections Code section 9282(b). If there is realistically no likelihood that others will
submit arguments, then maybe no Council action is necessary at all. If, however, the Council does want its
arguments to have priority then I would suggest that an item be placed on the Council agenda for July 20th
entitled;
"Consideration of Authorization of Councilmembers to Submit Arguments Regarding November Ballot
measures."
The Council can discuss and then authorize certain councilmembers to submit arguments for and against the
measures. Note that submitting an argument is not the same as signing an argument.
Second, three or more councilmembers should not be authorized to submit an argument because the meeting
and collaboration of three or more members on matters within their subject-matter jurisdiction would violate the
Brown Act. Two or fewer Councilmembers should be authorized to submit an argument. However, after the
argument has been drafted, individual council members can review and sign arguments as part of their private
First Amendment protected election campaign activity in support of the measure.
I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX INCREASE
NOVEMBER 3, 2009 ELECTION
The City Council of the City of Burlingame has placed this measure
on the ballot to ask the voters of Burlingame to approve an amendment to
the City's transient occupancy tax ordinance to increase the transient
occupancy tax rate from the current 10% to 12%. The transient occupancy
tax is that tax placed upon the room rent charged to hotel guests in the City
of Burlingame. Hotels in Burlingame collect the tax from hotel guests as
part of charge to be paid by the guests for occupancy of their hotel room.
The City estimates that the increase of the transient occupancy tax
from 10% to 12% would generate approximately $2 million dollars per year.
Because the transient occupancy tax is a general tax and not a special tax,
the additional revenue generated would be deposited into the City's general
fund for general governmental purposes, such as police, fire, library,
recreation, planning and administration services, and the repair and
improvement of city streets and other infrastructure, including the
Broadway/Highway 101 interchange.
Because the additional tax revenue would be used for general City
governmental purposes, a simple majority vote of those persons voting on
the measure is required to approve the measure. And, because the tax would
be adopted by a vote of the people, the tax rate could not be increased again
unless approved by another vote of the people.
A YES vote approves the measure.
A NO vote rejects the measure.
Date: July 10, 2009 <

The above statement is an impartial analysis of Measure . If you desire a copy of the
ordinance increasing the City's transient occupancy tax,please contact the City Clerk's
Office at 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010, 650-558-7203, and a copy will be
mailed at no cost to you.
CITY OF BURLINGAME
CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
APPOINTED CITY CLERK
NOVEMBER 3,2009 ELECTION
The City Council of the City of Burlingame has placed this measure on the ballot
to ask the voters of Burlingame if the position of City Clerk should be made appointive
rather than elective. Pursuant to California State law, the City Clerk of any general law
city, such as Burlingame, is an elective office unless the voters of the city approve a
measure to make the office of City Clerk an appointive position. The Burlingame City
Clerk is currently an elective office with a term of four years.
There are two qualifications for the position of elected City Clerk: first, the
individual must be a resident of the City and second, the individual must be a registered
voter. Some, but not all, of the City Clerk's duties include preparing, indexing and
maintaining accurate minutes of City Council meetings and all City documents and
records; printing, assembling and distributing Council agenda packets; administering
municipal elections; receiving and maintaining candidate campaign forms and City
officials' statements of economic interest; revising bi-annually the City's conflict of
interest code; and preparing, mailing and publishing all official notices in a timely
manner.
A simple majority vote of those persons voting on the measure is required to
approve the measure. If the measure is approved by the voters, the position of City Clerk
would become an appointive office at the end of the four year term which begins in
December of 2009. Stated another way, if the measure is approved by the voters,the
position of City Clerk would become an appointive office effective December of 2013. If
the measure is approved by the voters, the City Council would appoint the City Clerk in
the same manner as the Council now appoints the City Manager and the City Attorney.
A YES vote approves the measure.
A NO vote rejects the measure.

FROM: William Meeker, Community Development Director— (650) 558- /-;5
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION GRANTING APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO AN
AMENDMENT TO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH PBS&J TO
PERFORM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SERVICES RELATED TO THE SAFEWAY
PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an amendment to a
Professional Services Agreement with PBS&J for additional environmental review services in the amount
of $9,810.00 related to the proposed Safeway project at 1450 Howard Avenue, at a maximum cost of
$109,103.00.
BACKGROUND:
On April 23, 2009, Safeway, Inc. submitted an application to the Community Development Department
for Environmental Review, Commercial Design Review, EI Camino Real Setback Variance, Conditional
Use Permits for height and hours of operation, and rezoning of a portion of the site from R-3 to C-1 for
replacement of the existing Safeway with a new 44,982 square foot store with a 6,865 square foot
mezzanine. A new two-story retail/office building with 13,332 square feet of retail space on the ground
floor and 5,407 square feet of office on the second floor is also proposed. The existing Safeway and
Walgreens buildings would be demolished. The existing building at 329 Primrose Road, formerly a Wells
Fargo Bank, will be remodeled as a part of the project.
The site is zoned C-1 and R-3, and consists of seven parcels, totaling 3.6 acres. The parcels would be
merged as a part of the project. A total of 209 on-site parking spaces are proposed, including 100 spaces
on the roof of the Safeway store, accessed by a ramp.
The City has entered into an Agreement for Professional Services with PBS&J to perform the
environmental review services required for the proposed Safeway project, in an amount not to exceed
$99,293.00 (refer to attached Agreement, Exhibit 1). The consultant has submitted a request for an
Addendum to the Agreement for additional services in the amount of $9810.00, for a total contract
amount of $109,103.00. Because the terms of the agreement will now exceed $100,000, Council
approval of the amendment to the agreement is required. The Community Development Director is now
seeking approval to execute the amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with PBS&J
(CEQA). PBS&J's Original Scope of Work for the services to be provided is attached to this report as
Exhibit 2, and the Addendum to the Scope of Work is attached as Exhibit 3.
Although the contract is with the City of Burlingame, the applicant has submitted a check in the amount
of $109,103.00 to the City of Burlingame to cover the costs of the environmental review. The City will
administer the contract, and will pay the consultant on a monthly basis as services are rendered.

Safeway Project—Environmental Review Services
Meeting Date: July 20,2009
DISCUSSION:
The Community Development Department has selected PBS&J to prepare the environmental document
for this project because they are also providing environmental review services for the Downtown Specific
Plan now underway in the area,and are familiar with the issues related to development in the Downtown
area. The firm also completed the environmental review for the Walgreens project at 260 EI Camino
Real,which is now under construction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the project's environmental review is provided by the project applicant. Therefore,there will
be no fiscal impact to the City's budget.

Re: Proposal for CEQA Services for the Burlingame Safeway Mixed-Ure Development Project
Dear Maureen,
Thank you for requesting PBS&J's services for preparing a Traffic Study and an Initial Study(IS) for the
proposed Burlingame Safeway Mixed-Use Development Project(proposed project) at 1450 Howard Avenue
in Burlingame. We understand that the proposed project involves the redevelopment of the downtown
Burlingame Safeway site. The site is located on Howard Avenue and between El Camino Real (State Route
82) and Primrose Road. The 3.6-acre site is comprised of seven parcels.
The site is currently occupied by three buildings:
■ Safeway store (30,248 square feet) at 1450 Howard Avenue
■ Walgreens (17,500 square feet) at 1420 Howard Avenue
■ Wells Fargo (7,751 square feet) at 249 Primrose Road
The total area of existing development is 55,499 square feet.An existing surface lot provides 196 parking
spaces. The site is entirely developed.
The proposed project would include:
■ A new Safeway store (51,847 square feet)
■ New mixed-use building with ground floor retail and upper floor office uses (18,739 square feet)
■ Renovation of the Wells Fargo building(6,554 square feet)
The total area of-proposed development is 77,140 square feet. Suriace parking and a roof-top lot(atop the
Safeway building)would provide 230 parking spaces. The proposed project would replace existing facilities
on site and increase the size of the development by 21,641 square feet and 34 parking spaces.
The project team,scope of work,timeline,and cost estimate anticipated by PBS&J for the project are
provided below.
Project Team
Rachel Schuett will serve as Project Manager for the CEQA services. She is currently working on the
IS/MND for the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan and recently completed an IS/MND for the 260 El Camino
Real project on the adjacent property. Trixie Martelino will serve as Project Director,who will provide
quality control and assurance and technical direction. We will subcontract Kimley-Horn&Associates,Inc. to
prepare a traffic study for the proposed project and Square One Productions to prepare visual simulations of
the proposed project.

Scope of Work
Task L• Project Initiation. PBS&J will meet with City of Burlingame staff to discuss data needs to
complete the environmental document,review the key issues from the City's and the public perspective,
understand the proposed entitlements,collect background information that is needed in addition to data
already provided by the City,confirm the approach to the cumulative analysis(list-based or projections-based
approach),and review and agree on deliverables and deadlines. PBW proposes to use the same format and
organization for the Initial Study Environmental Checklist,as previously submitted on other similar
assignments for the City of Burlingame,such as the 260 El Camino Real IS/MND. Key PBS&J staff will also
conduct a site visit to inspect existing conditions at and around the site.
PBS&J is currently working on the Bur'ungame Downtown Specific Plan IS/MND,and the project site is within
the Specific Plan area;therefore,much of the background data will be readily available and applicable to the
current study.
It should be noted that as part of project initiation efforts,City staff will need to confirm the scope of the
traffic study,including the list of study intersections to be analyzed. Should there be requested changes to the
traffic study scope of work as presented in this proposal package(see Attachment A),Kimley-Horn will
revise their scope of work It is assumed that Kimley-Horn's scope can be finalized through emails or
telephone conferences,and that Kimley-Hom will not participate in an in-person meeting for project
initiation.
Task 2: Project Description and Setting. Based on discussions with City staff,our orientation tour,and
the project application,PBS&J will prepare a draft description of the proposed project PBS&J requests that
the project applicant provide the following information: a detailed site plan,building footprint,grading
details,finished elevations,parking areas,circulation,loading zone,landscaping,building heights,architectural
design,and signage. Plans should be dimensioned and camera-ready. Electronic site plans and elevations will
be also provided to PBS&J for inclusion in the CEQA document. PBS&J also asks that the applicant provide
hours of operation,hours for delivery,and plans for recycling and waste management,collection and
disposal,if available. The Project Description will describe both existing and proposed activities at the
project site and discuss the impacts of the demolition/renovation of the existing buildings along with the
coostruction and operations of the proposed project.
Under this task,PBS&J will prepare a general discussion of existing conditions in and around the project site.
The Setting discussion will include the land use and zoning designations of the site,a description of the
development pattern and characteristics within and around the project site,and any notable significant
environmental resources within the project vicinity. Setting information will be summarized briefly at the
beginning of each impact topic section in the Initial Study Checklist.
Task 3: Scoping. Given the level of community involvement in the Burlingame Downtown Specifu Plan area
and the history of the Safeway site,including previous development applications,we assume that a scoping
meeting would be desirable for this project PBS&J will attend one public scoping meeting to obtain
comments on the proposed project and environmental review. The City will be responsible for facilitating
and making a presentation at the scoping session,as well as sending out notices for the session or issuing any
written solicitations for public comments on the project Any scope changes that may arise form the scoping
effort will require a contract amendment
Task 4: Administrative Draft Environmental Checklist. PBS&J will update and synthesize background
information for use in the environmental setting and evaluate changes to those baseline conditions resulting

from adoption of the proposed project As much as possible,PBS&J will apply information from the
Environmental Impact Report adopted in 2002 for the Safeway site(although limited information from the
2002 EIR can be applied here due to the age of the data). As appropriate,PBS&J will also make use of the
IS/MND,adopted in October 2008,for the 260 El Camino Real site located at the comer of El Camino Real
and Burlingame Avenue. Lastly,PBS&J will also incorporate relevant data from the IS/MND(currently
underway) for the Bur&game Downtown Spedit Plan. PBS&J will respond to all checklist questions,using a
format previously approved by the City.
Where information from previous documents cannot be applied,PBS&J will perform the investigations
needed to address aesthetics,agricultural resources,air quality,biological resources,cultural resources,
geology and soils,hazards and hazardous materials,hydrology and water quality,land use,mineral resources,
noise,population and housing,public services(including recreation),and utilities and service systems. We
will also identify mitigation measures,if necessary,for those project-related changes considered to be
significant effects. As it is currently envisioned that the CEQA process will be completed with a Mitigated
Negative Declaration,it will be important to obtain the project applicant's concurrence with the proposed
mitigation measures.
The approach to analyzing key issues of the project is provided below.
• I.and Use. The project site is within the Burlingame Downtown SpeeiJie Plmds area(the Specific Plan
and IS/MND are currently being developed)in the Burlingame Avenue Commercial Area zoning
district,Sub-Area B. The site has a Downtown Commercial(C-1)zoning designation,with the
exception of one parcel This parcel would require rezoning(under a use permit/variance) from R-3
to C-1. The consistency discussion will address the project's consistency with the Gl zoning
designation as well as the effects of rezoning one parcel from R-3 to C-1. PBS&J will also briefly
address whether or not the proposed project would have inconsistencies with applicable policies
from the current General Plan. While not required by CEQA,PBS&J will also address project
consistency with the development goals set forth in the draft Specific Plan,assuming that sufficient
drafted text from the Specific Plan is available. The IS will also identify the required project
entitlements,including a variance for setbacks along El Camino Real,a Conditional Use Permit for
height and hours of operation,and Commercial Design Review.
• Visual Quality. PBS&J will analyze the change in visual quality resulting from the proposed project
This analysis will be based on changes in visual context and quality,considering scale,height,lighting,
and architectural compatibility. The discussion will acknowledge that the proposed project will also
be subject to Commercial Design Review by the City of Burlingame,as discussed under land use.
The section will also include two visual simulations provided by Square One Productions.Given that
the applicant has submitted plans for the proposed project that contain a high level of detail
including artistic renderings,it is anticipated that the visual simulations would be photo realistic
montages from two vantage points. PBS&J preliminarily recommends one from PI Camino Real,at
Burlingame Avenue looking south,with 260 EI Camino Real in the foreground and the other from
El Camino Real,at Howard Avenue,looking north,with 260 El Camino Real in the background.
Additional viewpoint locations are recommended under Optional Tasks 1 and 2,provided at the end
of this letter.
Traffic. Kimley-Horn's scope of work for the traffic study is provided as Attachment A. PBS&J
will review the administrative draft traffic study by Kimley-Horn and provide to them our comment,
with a copy to the City. It is also expected that City staff will review the administrative draft traffic
Maureen Brooks
Burlingame Safeway Mixed-Use Development Project
Page 4 of 7
study concurrently as PBS&J. After Kimley-Hom submits the final traffic study,PBS&J will
incorporate into the IS the results of the traffic study by Kimley-Horn. It should be noted that the
reason for incorporating the final traffic study into the Administrative Draft IS is to avoid the
additional costs of revising the IS traffic section as the traffic study evolves. Additional iterations of
the IS traffic section can incur additional costs.
• Noise. Potential noise sources from the proposed project that will need to be ernmined include
additional trips on local roads,construction period noise,operational noise impacts from the rooftop
parking lot,loading and unloading activities,parking lot activities,and recycling activities. This
section of the IS will discuss the proposed project,the proximity to sensitive receptors,and
compliance with the noise regulations and standards outlined in the Noise Ordinance.
• Cultural Resources. The baseline cultural resources discussion will be based on information from
the previous CEQA documentation for the Safeway project,260 El Camino Real project,and
Specific Plan. No additional Northwest Information Center records searches will be conducted,and
no correspondence with the Native American Heritage Commission will be made. Based on our
conversation with Maureen Brooks on May 14,2009,this scope assumes that no historic structures
are on-site. The analysis will address potential impacts on cultural resources,and mitigation to avoid
or minimize significant impact will be identified as needed.
• Biological Resources. The project site is fully developed and contains some vegetation that may
support nesting birds. Potential nesting bird impacts and mitigation will be provided Because the
project site is otherwise not a biologically sensitive area,PBS&J will extract baseline information
from the CEQA analysis from the aforementioned documents. This scope assumes that no new,
project-specific records searches with the California Department of Fish and Game's Natural Diversity
Database,the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Species Inst,California Native Plant Society's
Electronic Inventory database,or local listings will be conducted.
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials. The baseline discussion will be based on information from
the previous CEQA documentation for the Safeway project,260 El Camino Real project,and
Specific Plan. No new records searches for contaminated sites will be conducted and none are
foreseen to be needed because the on-site or adjacent uses have not changed since preparation of the
previous documents. The project site is adjacent to the former Chevron gas station which has been
closed for almost two years. The Chevron gas station(at 260 El Camino Rear)had an active County
Health Department case regarding a leaking underground storage tank. Given that the 260 El
Camino project has been approved,the demolition of the existing gas station and the removal of the
underground storage ranks would presumably occur.It is possible that contamination from the 260
El Camino Real site may,have migrated onto the proposed project site,and that excavation activities
could encounter contaminated soil. PBS&J will identify mitigation measures to address potential soil
contamination,as appropriate. This section of the IS will also discuss impacts related to potential
hazardous materials use and the waste from the proposed retail business.
• Public Services,including Recreation. The analysis will be based on information from the
previous CEQA documentation for the Specific Plan. PBS&J will compare the project's demands
for services with existing service levels by providers the City's Police,Fire,and Parks and Recreation
Departments. PBS&J will compare additional service demand generated by the proposed project
against the current performance levels and objectives. If performance objectives would be exceeded
due to the project and new or altered facilities would be needed that could result in significant
impacts,then a significant impact will be noted and mitigation measures will be identified as needed.
Mitigation measures will be provided as needed.

• Utilities and Service Systems. The analysis will be based on information from the previous CEQA
documentation for the Specific Plan. Information from the Implementation Chapter of the
Burlingame Downtown SpuifirPlan will also be included,as appropriate. Some change in utility
consumption is expected from the increase in the intensity of development on the site. Water,
wastewater,and stormwater infrastructure will be examined. PBS&J will evaluate whether or not the
proposed project would result in significant impacts due to the construction of expansion of existing
utility facilities.
• Climate Change. Individual projects contribute to the cumulative effects of climate change by
emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) during construction and operational phases. The proposed
project would result in short-term GHG emissions from the combustion of fuel during construction
as well as long-term GHG emissions from project-related trip generation (mobile sources),natural
gas consumption and landscaping(direct sources),electricity and water consumption(indirect
sources),and solid waste generation (fugitive sources). PBS&J will assess the significance of project-
related emissions in relationship to the thresholds of significance proposed in the 2009 Draft CEQA
Guidelines. Generally,these thresholds require that the project be consistent with State and local
emissions reductions targets and plans.To provide a quantitative basis for the conclusions in this
analysis,PBS&J will prepare a project-specific emissions inventory,to be compared against these
targets.PBS&J will use the URBEMIS 2007 model to estimate mobile,direct,and construction
emissions,and the California Climate Action Registry General Reporting Protocol,in concert with
studies developed by the California Energy Commission,US EPA and the California Integrated
Waste Management Board,to estimate electricity,water,and solid waste emissions. Should it be
determined that mitigation will be required to reduce the impact of the proposed project;mitigation
will be customized for the proposed project with the City's guidance.
• Cumulative Impacts. The mandatory findings of significance discussion required for an Initial
Study includes a discussion of potential cumulatively considerable impacts of a project,when viewed
in conjunction with past,present,and foreseeable projects. Based on the approach determined in
Task 1,PBS&J will assess cumulative impacts and the proposed project contribution,as appropriate.
A cumulative analysis will be provided for only those resources on which the proposed project would
have less-than-significant or greater impact,because the proposed project would not contribute to a
cumulative impact on a resource to which the project itself would have no impact
Task 5: Draft Initial Study. Based on staff's review of the Initial Study,PBS&J will revise the document.
Provided that project impacts can be reduced to less than significant,PBS&J will request a budget augment
(see Attachment D) for the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for City review and publication.
The budget augment(Addendum 1—Mitigated Negative Declaration)will cover the costs to complete the
Public Review and Final Mitigated Negative Declaration(s) (see Tasks 7 and 8,below),including extending
the project management budget(see Task 9,below). The Mitigated Negative Declaration will present a
summary of the proposed project and a listing of recommended mitigation measures, as required by the
CEQA Guide&ner. Following staff's review of the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration,PBS&J will finalize it
and submit a pdf version. PBS&J will also attach an electronic Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated
Negative Declaration. This proposal assumes that the City will be responsible for all printing;mailing all hard
or electronic copies for public review;preparing/posting the appropriate Notice with the County Clerk's
office;and preparing and sending the document and notices to the State Clearinghouse(if needed).
Task 6:Project Management. This task includes contractual and other administrative coordination with
the City,subconsultants,and PBS&J staff. This budget assumes about 2 hours per week of Project Manager
time through the first 16.5 weeks of an estimated 22-week schedule if an MND is prepared (see below) and
about 9 hours of Project Director time. The Project Management budget for the last 5.5 weeks of the 22-
461

week schedule (see below) if an MND is prepared is included under Task 9, below. Any extension in schedule
will require additional costs for this task.
Task 7: Public Review and Final Mitigated Negative Declaration. The IS/MND will be distributed by
the City to responsible agencies and interested members of the public. Assuming that the IS/MND will need
to go the state Clearinghouse, minimum 30-dap public review and comment period will be provided to afford
the public agencies and the community an opportunity to comment on the IS/MND. City staff will compile
written comments and forward them to PBS&J for a response. This scope and budget assumes that a
maximum of 20 discrete, substantive comments will be received during the public review period. Public
hearings to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration will be held before the City Planning Commission and
City Council. PBS&J will attend up to two public hearings on the IS/MND and present the conclusions of
the document and responses to comments, if requested by City staff.
Task 8: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. As required by CEQA Guidelines Section
15097, project approval requires the adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).
In accordance with these requirements, PBS&J will identify for each mitigation measure, the entity
responsible for implementing the measure, the public agency/department responsible for verifying that the
measure has been implemented, the time frame or schedule for implementation of the measure, and, if
appropriate, monitoring actions required to determine whether the measure has been implemented and the
success of the mitigation at reducing the impact. The draft MMRP will be presented in tabular form that will
allow the City to conveniently check or sign off when a measure has been implemented. Following City
staff's review, PBS&J will finalize the program for approval by the City. The draft and final MMRP will be
submitted by PBS&J to the City in electronic form.
Task 9: Project Management. This task includes contractual and other administrative coordination with
the City, subconsultants, and PBS&J staff. This budget assumes about 2 hours per week of Project Manager
time through the last 5.5 weeks of an estimated 22-week schedule if an MND is prepared (see below) and
about 3 hours of Project Director time. The Project Management budget for the first 16.5 weeks of the 22-
week schedule (see below) for the preparation of the Draft Initial Study is included under Task 6, above. Any
extension in schedule beyond the 22 weeks will require additional costs for this task.
Schedule
Assuming receipt of all requested data from the project sponsor within 1 week of our request, the total
timeline is estimated at 15 weeks to the Draft IS, and, if appropriate, 22 weeks or 5 'A months to the Final
IS/MND. If unforeseen issues arise, then PBS&T reserves the right to extend the schedule. Conversely, the
schedule may be shortened if it will take less time to prepare the administrative draft traffic study or the final
traffic study, or if there will be no need for written responses to public comments on the Draft IS/MND
(provided that an MND is prepared).

Cost Estimate
Preliminary cost estimates are presented by task in Attachment B. As indicated in the attached sheet,total
cost projected for the project through Task 6 is$99,293. The cost is based partially on PBS&J's current
hourly rates in Attachment C. If an MND is to be prepared,costs to complete are presented in Attachment
D. As indicated in Attachment D,costs to complete the MND would be$9,810.This cost reflects
completion of Tasks 7 through 9. If the City requests that PBS&J prepare the MND,PBS&J will request an
addendum to cover the costs reflected in Attachment D. Our preliminary review of the project materials
indicated no trigger for an EIR;therefore,an EIR scope is not estimated at this time. However,a separate
EIR cost will be provided to the City upon any indication that one would be warranted for the project
Additional budget will be required should the City ask PBS&J's team to complete the following optional
tasks:
Optional Task#1
SQUARE ONE PRODUCTIONS could complete a third visual simulation from El Camino Real,at
Howard Avenue,looking up Howard Avenue toward Primrose for$3,335.
Optional Task#2
SQUARE ONE PRODUCTIONS could complete a fourth visual simulation from Howard Avenue,at
Primrose,looking up Primrose toward Burlingame Avenue for$3,623.
Optional Task#3
PBS&J will print and deliver to the City 5 copies of Administrative Draft IS,25 copies of Draft IS/MND,
and 5 copies of the Responses to Comments on the Draft IS/MND. The cost is$2,415.
Optional Task#4
The PBS&J project manager will attend additional meetings at a cost of$785 per meeting,broken into$720
in labor costs and$65 in expenses.

the new Municipal Regional Permit as well as share case studies with other cities
managing public works assets.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBMITTED
BY Jesus Nava
DATE: July 7, 2009
APPROVED
FROM: Jesus Nava, Finance Director/Treasurer BY
SUBJECT: Approval of a Franchise Agreement between the SB A and the City of San Carlos
Related to the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center
Recommendation
Approval of a resolution ratifying an agreement between the SBWMA and the City of San Carlos to pay
the City of San Carlos a five percent (5%) franchise fee on all gate revenue from the Shoreway Recycling
and Disposal Center.
Background
The Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center (SRDC) was initially constructed in 1982 by Browning
Ferris Industries ("BFI") pursuant to a conditional use permit (CUP) issued by the City of San Carlos.
The CUP was conditioned on BFI and the City entering into an agreement providing the City with a
"franchise fee" in order to offset impacts from the SRDC location and its operation in San Carlos.
San Carlos and BFI signed a contract in 1982 which entitled the City to five percent (5%) of the gate
fee revenues received at the SRDC.
The SBWMA purchased the SRDC in 2000. The 1982 contract between the City of San Carlos and BFI
expired in 2004, but fees in the amount of 5% have continued to be paid to the city by the SBWMA.
The SBWMA Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, as amended and restated in December 2005
("JPA Agreement"), contemplates that San Carlos will receive a franchise fee from the operation of
the SRDC. The JPA Agreement does not specify the exact amount of the fee.
SBWMA applied for a CUP from the City of San Carlos covering the improvements planned for the
SRDC. In connection with the permit application and the associated CEQA documentation, SBWMA
and the city worked together to create the new agreement, which was approved by the SBWMA Board
on July 24, 2008. The SBWMA CUP application and related CEQA documentation was approved 3-0 by
the City of San Carlos Planning Commission on July, 21, 2008.
The new agreement will provide for the continued payment to the City of 5% of the gate fee revenues
earned at the SRDC, the same amount the City has received since the facility opened in 1982. The new
agreement makes clear that the fee does not apply to revenues received by SBWMA from the sale of
recyclable materials. The term of the agreement will run concurrently with that of the new CUP that the
SBWMA is seeking.

C:\Documents and Settings\asilva\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKE\City Council Agenda Report.doc
Analysis
The recommended action continues a contractual arrangement that was put in place at the inception of the
SRDC operations in 1982, with payment of a fee at the same amount (5%) of gate fee revenues as had
previously been agreed upon by BFI/Allied Waste and the City. The Agreement has already been approved
by the City of San Carlos and the SBWMA. The SBWMA is seeking concurrence on approval of the
Agreement by two-thirds of the member agencies.
Fiscal Impact
The City of Burlingame's approval of the agreement between the SBWMA and the City will provide for
the continued payment of fees in the amount of 5% of Gate Fee Revenue from the SRDC. The dollar
amount of the fees will vary each year but has been approximately$1.2 million per year for the last several
years. The SBWMA's annual budget contains a specific line item for these fees; the amount in the adopted
FY09 budget is $1,273,433.

AGREEMENT
This Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the _ day of
2008, by and between the CITY OF SAN CARLOS, a municipal corporation ("City") and
the SOUTH BAYSIDE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY, a joint powers authority
established under Government Code Section 6500 et seq. ("Authority"), in connection
with the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center ("SRDC Facility").
RECITALS
A. The members of the Authority are City, the cities of Atherton, Belmont,
Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, San Mateo and
Redwood City, San Mateo County and the West Bay Sanitary District.
B. The SRDC Facility is a transfer station and materials recovery facility
owned by the Authority and located within the City, adjacent to U.S. Highway 101.
C. Municipal solid waste and recyclable materials collected within each of the
local government agencies that are members of the Authority are delivered to the SRDC
Facility for processing. Recyclable materials are recovered for sale or further
processing at off-site facilities and residual wastes are delivered in large transfer trucks
to the Ox Mountain Landfill.
D. The SRDC Facility was initially constructed in 1982 by Browning Ferris
Industries ("BFI") pursuant to a conditional use permit issued by the City to BFI. The
Authority purchased the SRDC Facility in 2000. The Authority now desires to
reconstruct, expand, and otherwise improve the SRDC Facility, and as further described
in Section 6 of this Agreement, has applied to City for a new conditional use permit
("New CUP") for that purpose.
E. The City and BFI entered into a "Franchise Agreement" in June 1982
which provided that BFI would pay the City five percent (5%) of the Gate Fee Revenues
received by BFI for delivery of materials to the Shoreway Facility in order to, among
384/061162-0003
925393.05n07/01/08
other things, compensate the City for impacts related to the construction and operation
of the SRDC Facility within the City. The Franchise Agreement expired in 2004.
Notwithstanding, its expiration, the City has continued to receive five percent (5%) of
Gate Fee Revenues received at the SRDC Facility. Moreover, the Authority's Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement, as Amended and Restated in December 2005, provides
in relevant part; "Monthly, SBWMA shall distribute to the City of San Carlos from funds
received from Contractor (i.e., the operator of the SRDC Facility), one twelfth (1/12th) of
the annual franchise fee agreed to by SBWMA and the City of San Carlos for the
operation of the Facilities."
F. The purpose of this Agreement is to memorialize the agreement between
the City and the Authority referred to in the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement described in Recital E, with respect to the franchise fee.
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. FRANCHISE FEE
A. Amount. The Authority shall pay to City an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the Gate Fee Revenue received by the Authority (or by the company which
operates the SRDC Facility under contract to the Authority) for the delivery of materials
to the SRDC Facility for processing and/or disposal. "Gate Fee Revenue" means funds
attributable to the delivery of materials for deposit at the SRDC Facility for transfer
and/or processing. Gate Fee Revenue specifically includes all gate fees paid by
franchised haulers delivering materials collected within the members of the Authority, as
well as gate fees paid by self-haul customers. "Gate Fee Revenue" does not, however,
include any sums received by the Authority from the sale of Recyclable Materials or
from the operator as liquidated damages or other payments related to inadequate
performance by the operator.
B. Timing of Payments. Payments will be made monthly, on or before the
fifteenth (15th) of each month. If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, payment
shall be due on the first day thereafter on which the City's business office is open. The
384i061162-0003
925393.05 x07/01/08 -2
payment will be equal to five percent (5%) of the Gate Fee Revenue received by
Authority during the calendar month immediately preceding the date payment is due.
C. Future Changes to Operations/Franchise Fee Calculation. Should the
means by which charges for delivery of materials to the SRDC Facility materially
change such that the franchise fee contemplated in this Agreement is significantly
reduced or increased,the parties agree to meet and negotiate with each other in good
faith in an effort to modify the franchise fee set forth herein in a fair and equitable
manner such that their intent as set forth in this Agreement is achieved.
2. TONNAGE REPORTS
Authority will provide City quarterly with a report, prepared by the company
operating the SRDC Facility, showing the total tons of materials delivered to the SRDC
Facility. The report will be delivered to City concurrently with its delivery to Authority.
3. RECORDS
Authority will maintain records of its financial affairs as required by California law
and the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. City,as a member of Authority,is entitled
to inspect such records at any time. These records will include accounts of all Gate Fee
Revenue received for delivery of materials to the SRDC Facility.
4. INSPECTION
The City may inspect the SRDC Facility during its normal hours of operation.
5. INDEMNITY/INSURANCE
The Authority will require in its contract with any third party for operation of the
SRDC Facility that such party (a) indemnify the City to the same extent that it
indemnifies the Authority against liability arising out of the operation of the SRDC
Facility, and (b) name the City as an additional insured on the policies of liability
insurance which the Authority will require such operator to maintain.
384/061162-0003
925 393.05
a07/01/08 -3-
6. LAND USE APPROVAL
As a local governmental entity, the Authority maintains that it is not subject to
City zoning or building regulations with respect to the SRDC Facility and that it is not
required to obtain a conditional use permit from City for the planned reconstruction and
improvement of the SRDC Facility. City disagrees with this position. Rather than
dispute the issue, as a matter of comity and in the spirit of mutual respect and
cooperation, the Authority has applied for such a permit. This application is not
intended as, and shall not be construed to be, a waiver of the Authority's claim of
immunity from City land use jurisdiction.
7. SOLE OBLIGATION
The Franchise Fee provided for in this Agreement is the sole financial obligation
of Authority to City for the mitigation of impacts resulting from the location and operation
of the SRDC Facility in City.
8. ASSIGNMENT
Neither party may assign this Agreement, nor any rights arising under it, without
the prior written consent of the other party.
9. BINDING ON SUCCESSORS
This Agreement shall benefit, and be binding on, the successors in interest to
either party, including specifically any successor in the Authority's interest in the SRDC
Facility. If City wishes to record a memorandum of this Agreement to further ensure
that it will be binding on any third party which purchases the SRDC Facility, the
Authority will execute such a memorandum.
10. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Agreement shall be effective at such time as it is duly executed by both City
and the Authority.

remain in force and effect so long as the New CUP is in effect.

STAFF REPORT
To: SBWMA Board Members
From: Kevin McCarthy, Executive Director
Date: June 26, 2008 Board Meeting
Subject: Approval of an Agreement with the City of San Carlos Related to the
Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached resolution approving an agreement with the City
of San Carlos related to the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center (SRDC) and authorizing the
Executive Director to execute that agreement on behalf of the SBWMA.
Background
The SRDC was initially constructed in 1982 by Browning Ferris Industries ("BFI") pursuant to a
conditional use permit (CUP) issued by the City. The CUP was conditioned on BFI and the City
entering into an agreement providing the City with a "franchise fee" in order to offset impacts from the
SRDC's location and operation in the City. The City and BFI signed a contract in 1982 which entitled
the City to five percent (5%)of the gate fee revenues received at the SRDC.
The SBWMA purchased the SRDC in 2000. The 1982 contract between the City and BFI expired in
2004, but fees in the amount of 5% have continued to be paid to the City.
The SBWMA's Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, as amended and restated in December 2005
("JPA Agreement"), contemplates that the City will receive a franchise fee from the operation of the
SRDC. The JPA Agreement does not specify the exact amount of the fee.
SBWMA has applied to the City for a CUP covering the substantial improvements planned for the
SRDC and that permit application is currently being processed by the City. In connection with the
permit application and the associated CEQA documentation, SBWMA and the City have worked
together to create the new agreement which is before the Board.
The new agreement will provide for the continued payment to the City of 5% of the Gate Fee
Revenues earned at the SRDC, the same amount the City has received since the facility opened in
1982. The new agreement makes clear that the fee does not apply to revenues received by SBWMA
from the sale of recyclable materials. The term of the agreement will run concurrently with that of the
new CUP that the SBWMA is seeking.
The City Council of San Carlos unanimously approved the agreement at its July 14, 2008 Council
meeting.
Analysis
The recommended action continues a contractual arrangement that was put in place at the inception
of the SRDC operations in 1982, with payment of a fee at the same amount (5%) of Gate Fee
Revenues as had previously been agreed upon by BFI/Allied Waste and the City.
Fiscal Impact
Approval of the agreement between the SBWMA and the City will provide for the continued payment
of fees in the amount of 5% of Gate Fee Revenue from the SRDC. The dollar amount of the fees will
vary each year but has been approximately $1.2 Million per year for the last several years. The
SBWMA's annual budget contains a specific line item for these fees; the amount in the adopted FY09
budget is $1,273,433.

Jim Nantell
City Manaaer
501 Primrose Road
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Mr. Nantell,
Agencies within the SBWMA are considering ratification of a "host agreement" between the
SBWMA and the City of San Carlos for continued and expanded operations of the Shoreway
Recycling and Disposal Center (SRDC). By way of background, as you may know, the
SBWMA owns the transfer station and materials recovery facility located within the City of
San Carlos on Shoreway Road. Municipal solid waste and recyclable materials collected
within each of the 12 local government agencies that are members of the SBWMA are
delivered to the SRDC Facility for processing. Recyclable materials are recovered for sale or
further processing at off-site facilities and residual waste materials are delivered in large
transfer trucks to the Ox Mountain Landfill on the San Mateo County coast.
Pursuant to our discussion, here are some points regarding the history of this agreement:
• The SRDC Facility was initially constructed in 1982 by Browning Ferris Industries
(BFI) pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) issued by the City.
• The SBWMA's Joint Fxercise of Powers Aareement contemplates that the City will
receive a franchise fee from the operation of the SRDC facility in order to offset
economic and financial impacts to the City that occur as a result of the Facility being
located in San Carlos. The City has been receiving a franchise fee of 5% of Gate
Fee Revenue from the Facility since the time the facility opened.
• This fee was established in a Franchise Agreement with BFI in 1982 which was
required by the CUP for the SRDC Facility. The CUP for the SRDC Facility
requires a franchise agreement with the City, and franchise fees have continued to
be paid in the amount of 5% consistent with the intent of the requirement in the
CUP through the present, and the intent of the JPA Agreement from that time.
• The fee was intended to make San Carlos whole for the lost opportunity cost the
City experienced by agreeing to host a regional Garbage Transfer Station and later
the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) constructed on a portion of the adjacent site
purchased by the SBWMA. Prior to the construction of these facilities, San Carlos
had been approached by several major retailers about retail development on both
of these sites.
RECYCLED
PAPER
• The proposed agreement is a continuation of a long standing agreement that has
facilitated a regional approach for Solid Waste collection and recycling. It is a"win-
win" arrangement where San Carlos hosts what would usually be viewed as a
Locally Undesirable Land Use on a key parcel with Highway frontage in exchange
for a host fee.
• With the deal, San Carlos accepts the Transfer Station and MRF and sacrifices
Hwy 101 corridor opportunities for retail,hotel and/or other commercial uses. (The
County now views this stretch of land as a prime spot for their new Replacement
Men's and Women's Jail).
• The agreement was renegotiated and approved by the SBWMA Board of Directors
and the San Carlos City Council last year. It has taken nearly a year to get to this
point in the:Governing Body"ratification"process.
• The CUP and EIR for the new Shoreway Environmental Center were both
processed with the understanding that the SBWMA would honor the long standing
agreement between San Carlos and the SBWMA that includes the 5% Gate Fee
payment to San Carlos.
• Approval of the agreement this month will insure that the SBWMA agencies can
take advantage of the very favorable bid received on constructing the new
Shoreway Environmental Center—a savings to ratepayers in excess of$11 Million.
I hope the above is helpful in explaining some of the history and rationale for the host
agreement. The agreement, in its historic form and as re-negotiated with the SBWMA last
year,is an example of successful regional cooperation and problem solving that is ever more
important in these economic times.
Thank you,
Mark Weiss
City Manager
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURLINGAME RATIFYING THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
SOUTH BAYSIDE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY AND
THE CITY OF SAN CARLOS FOR PAYMENT OF A 5%
FRANCHISE FEE TO THE CITY OF SAN CARLOS
WHEREAS, the City of Burlingame is one of twelve equity members of the South Bayside Waste
Management Authority Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (herein SBWMA); and
WHEREAS, in 2000, SBWMA purchased the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center (SRDC)
from Browning Ferris Industries (BFI) which had originally constructed SRDC in 1982; at that time, BFI
had entered into an agreement with the City of San Carlos to pay San Carlos 5% of the gate fee revenues
received at SRDC in order to offset impacts created by the construction of SRDC; and
WHEREAS, SBWMA has continued to pay the 5% gate fee to the City of San Carlos because, it
assumed that contractual obligation when it purchased SRDC from BFI; and
WHEREAS, the amended SBWMA joint powers agreement of 2005 contemplated that the City of
San Carlos would continue to receive a gate fee; and
WHEREAS, SBWMA applied for and obtained approvals from the City of San Carlos for the
planned improvements to the SRDC and as part of that process, the SBWMA and the City of San Carlos
entered into a new agreement that specifically provides for the continuation of SBWMA's payment of a 5%
gate fee to the City of San Carlos; and
WHEREAS, SBWMA is currently requesting its member agencies to ratify its Agreement with the
City of San Carlos for the 5% franchise fee.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Burlingame
hereby ratifies the agreement between SBWMA and the City of San Carlos (a copy of which is attached
hereto) by which SBWMA continues to pay the City of San Carlos a 5% franchise fee on all gate revenue

1) Easton closure on Friday; 2) merger of Reference and
Circulation service desks; 3) increase in self-service; 4) single
staffing resulting in patron service delays; 4) phone service
discontinued on Sunday; and 5) a reduction of story times from 7
to 6 times a week.
B. Foundation Report

author luncheon was very successful and netted approximately
$20,000.
2. Committee - Foundation members have formed a
committee to preserve library services. Kris and Jim Cannon are
the chairs of this committee.
VII. Unfinished Business
A. Informational Fact Sheet
The trustees reviewed the draft of the educational fact sheet and
suggested some format changes.
B. Budget Discussion

Library staff hold a "what's new at the Library" training day to
acquaint patrons with the service changes that are being
implemented due to the budget reductions.
2. Communication to the City Council - The Trustees
unanimously passed a motion regarding the library budget. The
motion states that the Trustees will send a letter to City Council
designating the benefits of a lower level of budget reductions for
the library and asking Council to consider decreasing the level of
the proposed budget reductions. M/S/C (McCormack/Towle)
Trustees Towle and McCormack agreed to serve on the task
force.
C. Motion to Modify Library Budget Passed 4/21/09

motion at this time.
Library Board of Trustee Minutes May 12,2009 2
VIII. New Business
A. California State Library Statistics 2007-2008
The California State Library Statistical Survey ranked the
Burlingame Library in the top 20% of 181 libraries in the
following categories: 1) expenditure for materials; 2) population
served by FTE staff; 3) availability of print materials;
4) circulation of materials; 5) programs offered to all ages;
6) patron visits to the library; and 7) patron usage of PC's at the
library sites. Burlingame Libraries serves a population between
25,000-50,000.
B. Close Extra Days Around Scheduled Holidays
The City Librarian presented the Trustees with the possible option
of closing an additional 15 days before and after scheduled
holidays for the purpose of reducing operating costs. The Trustees
felt that the impact of a 4 day closure on staff and the public was
excessive and recommended that closing 7 additional days be
considered as an alternative. Cost savings for closing for 7 days
will be presented to the Trustees at the June 16th meeting.
C. Resolution Regarding Branch Closure
The Trustees determined that they would not take any action on
this matter at the present-time.
IX. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 7:00pm. M/S/C (Brock/McCormack)

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes June 22, 2009
Public comments:
Jennifer Pfaff,615 Bayswater Avenue; Susan Castner-Paine, 728 Concord Way(speaking as private citizen);
Kathy Schmidt, 1512 Howard Avenue (representing Safeway Working Group); Carl Martin, 451
Cumberland/Studio Shop, 249 Primrose; Mary Ann Saucedo (representative for petitioners), 925 Larkspur;
Charles Voltz, 725 Vernon, (SWG member representing Citizens for a Better Burlingame); Ben Barnes, 1168
Barroilhet, Hillsborough; Laura Medanich, 156 Chapin Lane; Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; John Root,
728 Crossway Road; Vi Huynh, 930 Peninsula Avenue; Jeff Londer, 216 Bancroft Road; Stephen Hamilton,
105 Crescent Avenue; and Tom Paine, 728 Concord Way; spoke:
• Likes the Safeway building design.
• Not "crazy" about all of the angles on the lot and the buildings; the angles do not relate to the
perpendicular nature of a standard block.
• Building is a big improvement.
• Thinks the Wells-Fargo building is worth saving.
• Feels it is difficult fora pedestrian to get to the store or to the parking ramp; hopes that more effortis
made to define the pedestrian paths of travel through the property.
• Doesn't like the tall dominant appearance of the corner building; particular that it is built at an angle.
• There was an opportunity to bring all retail to Howard Avenue.
• The Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) Citizen's Advisory Committee(CAC)did not take the opportunity
to weigh in on the project design.
• Nothing in the plan relates to the sense of downtown Burlingame.
• The Safeway Working Group (SWG) didn't get the guidance needed for the project.
• Referenced lack of connections to historic structures within the vicinity of the project.
• Don't think the Commission can do much with the project siting.
• Encouraged the Commission to look at the architecture of the project as it relates to downtown
Burlingame.
• City needs to be more active in forming its future.
• The decision not to use City lands as part of the project significantly impacted the project design.
• Key aspects of the project can be supported by SWG.
• SWG is committed to driving for the best design, based upon what has been submitted.
• Safeway has continued to keep dialog with SWG open; open to discussing how to keep the
communications open.
• Was on SWG, representing downtown merchants.
• Still a lot of details to be worked out on the project.
• Traffic needs to be analyzed.
• With respect to pedestrian access; pedestrian access needs to be provided near the southwest
corner of the store from EI Camino, near the loading dock; also need access from the corner of EI
Camino and Howard, as well as a good entry design at that area.
• Provide pedestrian connections to and from downtown from site.
• Address pedestrian safety at vehicle crossings.
• There should be a better location for the trash enclosures; the one near Lot L may obstruct
pedestrians.
• Look at a means of providing pedestrian paths behind Wells-Fargo building to Safeway; perhaps
reconfigure parking; this would also provide better access to Fox Mall.
• Project is a win-win opportunity for the City and Safeway; hopes the Planning Commission
appreciates all of the hard work of the SWG process.
• Safeway has worked in good faith; give them the approval they deserve; restore the community's faith
that the City can complete what it started.
3
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes June 22, 2009
• This plan is a significant improvement over the prior plan.
• Commended Safeway for incorporating several consensus items put forward by the SWG.
• This layout was not favorably considered by SWG; particularly the location of the loading dock; was
preferred off of Lot K; potential for conflict between pedestrians and trucks.
• Safeway can control delivery truck timing; however, independent vendor trucks are more difficult to
control.
• Recommend evaluating a safe and reasonable manner for providing deliveries and minimizing
pedestrian conflicts; study various options and alternatives available to eliminate this problem.
• Time to move forward with the plan.
• Likes the plan; addresses the corner; provides open space.
• The hidden parking is a good idea.
• Be careful not to squander more hours of the SWG.
• Bicycle access needs to be considered; provide convenient places for bicycle parking; consult the
Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission for guidance, or Pat Giorni.
• No bicycle parking exists at current location.
• Could possibly locate bicycle parking at some of the more inconvenient vehicle parking spaces.
• Thanks SWG and Safeway for their participation.
• Project needs something special at the corner of Howard Avenue and EI Camino Real.
• The loading dock location is unfortunate.
• There is a modest amount of landscaping in the parking lot, but nothing shown on the rooftop parking
deck; need lush landscaping.
• Walkability needs to be discussed in greater detail; particularly access to and from Burlingame
Avenue.
• Concerned about attention to green building principles; need to comply with AB 32; provide
recycling opportunities, solar panels and other means of reducing power consumption.
• Concerned regarding amount of activity and movement on the site; potential conflicts between
pedestrians, trucks and other vehicles.
• Encouraged involvement of the TSP.
• Plan is not perfect; but believes that the Planning Commission can make significant changes to
improve the project; use the design criteria of the SWG in the review.
• Mixing pedestrians and trucks at the front of the store is problematic.
• Thinks that number of curb cuts will impact pedestrian flow.
• Access to Lot K is impacted; there is no plan to widen Fox Plaza Lane.
• Need to look at pedestrian circulation on the site.
• With respect to design integration; doesn't meet criteria as a timeless entry statement to
Burlingame.
• New project can either be a contribution to the community, or a detriment; need to take the time to
arrive at the correct result; City needs to take its future into its own hands.
Chair Terrones closed the public hearing.
Safeway response:
Deb Karbo:
• Involved in LEED through a pilot Safeway program; very committed; hoping for LEED Silver rating.
• Committed to recycling and composting.
Additional Commission comments:
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes June 22, 2009
• Is the Wells-Fargo building going to be"shaved"to increase the width of Fox Plaza Lane? (Karbo—
no, but are creating new storefronts along Fox Plaza Lane.)
• What is Safeway's suggestion regarding Fox Plaza Lane? (Karbo—had proposed one-way entry to
Fox Plaza Lane; will need review.)
• Asked to explain pedestrian circulation at the front of the store. (Karbo —deal with the issue on a
daily basis throughout the chain. Provide for wide aisles and wide sidewalks. Three or four semi-
trucks per day; smaller trucks are not much of an issue. This is something Safeway is accustomed
to.)
• Concerned about potential automobile conflicts; how will pedestrians be made aware of the potential
presence of vehicles? (Karbo/Lowney—the wide aisle is a pretty typical standard for the store. Need
to make an effort to ensure that the actions are handled correctly. Consider different paving patterns
and enough area for vehicle maneuvering.)
• With respect to angled parking behind Wells-Fargo, why is it not 90-degree? How do you prevent
vehicles from turning right into this area from the Primrose entry to the site? (Karbo/Lowney —
signage to be used.)
• City needs to look at how the City properties integrate with circulation on the Safeway site; consider a
working group process.
• Where are the City metered parking spaces to be located, and for how long.
• Regarding the rear of Lot K; there is no access to Safeway from that parking lot; there should be
secondary access to the rear of the building; could smaller, secondary trucks load and unload at the
rear of the building; very narrow access, obstructed by Eucalyptus trees.
• Like the general appearance of the building; but unsure about the second story at Howard and
Primrose.
• Would like to see improved pedestrian access from Primrose.
• Perhaps the green-shaded area at the front of the store should not be vehicle access.
.. Where do the shopping carts go on the rooftop? (Karbo—will need to provide the information,will be
shown on the resubmittal.)
• With respect to lighting; how many customers will there be at night; is it feasible to close the rooftop
parking after dark to prevent light pollution? (Karbo — could be considered under the right
circumstances; will be evaluated.)
• Show circulation signage on the site.
• The corner of Howard and Primrose is bothersome; not human scale;would prefer the corner to be a
plaza or a single story element. Would be great to create a central gathering space. Long term
desire is to revitalize Howard. Design should beckon people from Howard into the site; now it is not
inviting. (Karbo—the perspective makes it look like a grander scale than it really is; shown at 34'6"at
the high point; but understand the comment, will be studied.)
• Asked about the mix of uses in the corner retail building; concerned that uses need to bring people to
the public plaza area to make it more inviting. (Karbo — have provide three public stairs; and
encourage the plaza for use for specific functions.)
• Could a restaurant be allowed on second floor? (Brooks—yes, with a conditional use permit.)
• Control air quality during the demolition process, particularly due to the proximity to residential uses.
(Karbo—Safeway has programs for addressing this concern.)
• Some concern regarding the aesthetics of the location of the loading bay.
• Referenced design of shopping carts that lock when leaving the site; concern about how carts will be
handled at the parking deck level; how will carts be prevented from rolling down the ramp? (Lowney
—there is a means of preventing this.)
• Pedestrian and vehicle access ways need to be clearly delineated.
• What is the age of the existing Safeway building.
• New design is nice; particularly with respect to "Anthropologie", across the street.
• Look at landscaping on the rooftop.
5
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes June 22, 2009
• Concur with comment regarding bicycle accessibility and parking.
• Likes the two-story corner element.
• Need to provide a drinking fountain and restroom facility off of the rooftop plaza.
• Shares concern that Lot K has been substantially cut-off; consider a rear entry.
• With respect to trash enclosures; where is it located? (Karbo—a compactor is inside the Safeway
store. Two other separate enclosures are provided in the parking areas adjacent to the new retail
building and the Wells-Fargo building. Recycle a lot of materials at the Safeway store.)
• Would like to see the project move forward.
• Concerns about site plan are similar to SWG comments, particularly from EI Camino Real and
Howard.
• Not concerned about the delivery trucks; but concerned about the parking ramp entrance; perhaps
improve access and visibility at the ground level.
• Concern regarding pedestrian access from Fox Plaza Mall; considerworking with the Cityto improve
access is this area.
• Not concerned about reduced access to Lot K; dedicates it more for Burlingame Avenue use.
• Concerned about rooftop plaza use; how well will it be used.
• Concerned about the placement of the trash receptacle near Lot L; particularly for trash removal.
• Howard and EI Camino is a significant entry to downtown; needs some attention, particularly at the
pedestrian level.
• Look closely at confluence of pedestrians and vehicles.
• There should be a means of providing a tree-lined paseo from the Oak tree plaza, to the front of the
store.
• Use trees to emphasize pedestrian circulation.
• With respect to rooftop parking; could be a great place for employee parking. (Karbo — could limit
rooftop parking and lighting after a certain hour.)
• Has no issue with 24-hour operation.
• Lot K is a great opportunity for additional parking for those who do not wish to park on the root,
however,the EI Camino elevation is very uninviting; consider creating a better pedestrian connection
from Lot K along this area.
• With respect to the mixed-use building; concerned about the design of the comer element;somewhat
detaches the two sides of the building. (Lowney — the corner element solves a lot of problems; it
offers a civic invitation to move to the upstairs plaza. The double-volume retail height is also
attractive for certain retailers.)
• Is"ledgestone"a given on the new buildings; is there an opportunity to tie in the brick from the Wells-
Fargo building? (Karbo — is a Safeway preference.)
• Why might the brick need to be removed from the Wells-Fargo building? (Lowney—are evaluating to
see if it is feasible to retain. If it has to be removed, could conceivably be replaced with a similar
material.)
• Two-story element seems out of scale at corner of Primrose and Howard.
• Happy to see the generous sidewalk on Howard.
• Look at the rear of the store adjacent to Lot L and consider increasing sidewalk width.
• Sympathize with flat elevation on rear; but look at possibly improving articulation.
• The architectural vocabulary proposed is good for the project.
• Create a strong pedestrian character.
• Is there a reflective surface that can be used on the rooftop? (Karbo—like to incorporate"cool roofs",
and are looking at "cool roof' options.
• Is better handicapped accessibility required from Howard Avenue? Should something be provided
from the front of the building? (Lowney—have provided the most direct means of access, plus there
is an elevator.)

4. 1104 HAMILTON LANE,ZONED R-1 —APPLICATION FOR LOT COVERAGE VARIANCE AND LEFT SIDE
SETBACK VARIANCE FOR A FIRST FLOOR ADDITION (WILLIAM PASHELINSKY, APPLICANT AND
ARCHITECT;AND COLLEEN MCDONNELLAND DONNY O'DONOVAN, PROPERTY OWNERS) STAFF
CONTACT: LISA WHITMAN
Reference staff report dated June 22, 2009, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eight (S) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Chair Terrones opened the public hearing.
Donny O'Donovan, 1104 Hamilton Way; and Bill Pashelinsky, 1937 Hayes Street, San Francisco;
represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• Lack of detail on elevations, particularly with respect to bedroom 2; window shows on elevation, but
not on floor plan. (Pashelinsky—will ensure that floor plan and elevation match.)
• Concerned about extension of the three-foot setback along the left side; the neighbor has a very
small rear yard;will have a significant impact upon the neighbor;Variance is not very well supported.
(Pashelinsky— has made contact with left side neighbor, has no objection.)
Public comments:
Phillip Kennedy, 1100 Hamilton Lane; spoke:
• The front of the house at 1104 Hamilton Lane encroaches upon his property.
• Fence along properties was misplaced when originally built.
• Applicant required that the fence be relocated at the exact property line; caused a loss of square
footage.
• Look at the matter based upon the concerns of all involved.
Additional applicant comments:
Bill Pashelinsky, spoke:
• Are not adding to the front of the property.
• The changes on the right side comply with the required six foot side setback and do not impact the
neighbor at 1100 Hamilton Way.
• An alternative would have been to construct a second-story addition; the three-foot setback is an
alternative, less impactful solution.
Additional Commission comments:
• Odd confluence of rooflines, jumbled, unusual angle of walls, did you look at other roof solutions.
(Pashelinsky—difficult to work out with a single-story addition. Could look at the conditions again if
needed. Trying for a more interesting design. Angle of property line also influenced roof angles.)
• There is an obligation for the design to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible, even though the six-
foot setback is being respected. Noted cut off eaves and odd angles; needs to be revisited.
9
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes June 22, 2009
• Why not place closet at corner of"clipped" roofline, with it inset.
• Could re-configure the master bedroom suite to enhance neighbors privacy and improve design.
• Would like to see the new windows be wood or aluminum clad and not vinyl.
• The columns do not work on the front elevation; don't feel like they belong there, railings would be
more inviting.
• Need to have the issue of the Variance re-addressed; hardship and justification for the Variance
needed.
• There may be some area in which the odd shape of the lot could contribute to the request for a
Variance.
• Extension of a non-conforming condition is not adequate justification for a Variance.
• The application is only before the Commission because of the neighbor on the right side; have
discussed making extension of non-conforming setbacks possible; can live with the requests.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; and Colleen McDonnell, 1104 Hamilton Way; spoke:
• If Variance is granted; consider a contingency that a second-story addition cannot be added, unless
the non-conforming setback is eliminated.
• (McDonnell) continued wall at the existing setback because it works well given the floor plan of the
home.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Further Commission comments:
• Seem to be brought into a neighbor dispute;wouldn't be considering the matter if not forthe neighbor
dispute.
• Could eliminate both Variances; would like to see the side setback Variance eliminated.
• Cost of a second-story addition would be substantially greater.
• If the project were to go through design review, could eliminate Variances and improve the project.
Commissioner Brownrigg moved to continue the item with direction to the applicant to resolve design issues
and resolve side setback issues or argue it better.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Cauchi.
Discussion of motion:
• Design could be modified to eliminate Variances.
Chair Terrones called for a voice vote on the continue. The motion passed 6-0-1. (Commissioner Vistica
absent). This action is not appealable. This item concluded at 9:56 p.m.
Commissioner Yie recused herself from participating on Item 5, given a past business relationship. She left

Reference staff report dated June 22, 2009, with attachments. Planning Manager Brooks briefly presented
the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Terrones opened the public comment period.
Randy Grange, 205 Park Road; and Roxanne Loose, 1208 Bernal Avenue; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• Clarified finishing materials.
• Roof plan appears to show tile. Are their samples; bring them when the project comes back?
(Grange -will actually use a metal roof; standing seam that will accommodate the solar panels.)
• Why can't the garage side setback be increased? Would improve the design. (Grange/Loose -
basically cutting the rear of the house off, behind the garage;the front walls will remain. The owners
don't want to have it considered to be a new home for tax purposes. Have multiple bicycles; wider
garage provides storage area.)
• Likes the rear elevation; but there is something about the front elevation that doesn't work; the
`- cornice element doesn't appear to work. (Grange-can take another look at it.)
• Landscaping will assist with the front elevation.
• The front entry element calls for something special in the window above, perhaps a mission-style
window or a stone surrounded window.
• With respect to garage doors; correct references for hinges (noted as "grates" on plans.)
• With respect the rear balcony; clarify the material used.
• Generally be certain to call out all finishing materials, including sizes of corbels.
• Show the missing stoop on rear elevation.
• Landscaping is nice;there is a lot of paving, but don't know where more softscape would be placed.
(Grange- pavers will have increased space between them to improve permeability.)
• Regarding the FAR Variance; are improving the situation, the height will come down by two feet and
articulation is being added that will help with mass and bulk, plus the code changed since the home
was built.
• No problem with the Special Permit for the basement; the landscaping will work well with the stairs
that exit the area.
• Sympathetic to bicycle storage needs.
• The windows in the garage door seem small.
• Like doors opening onto the front patio.
• Have a built-in table in the dining room; but could conceivably build a pantry under the stairs if they
were relocated. (Grange-since the stairs also lead to the basement, could not accommodate this
change.)
Public comments:
• None.

Reference staff report dated July 13,2009,with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report,reviewed criteria and staff comments. Thirteen conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Terrones opened the public hearing.
Randy Grange, TRG Architects, 205 Park Road, represented the applicant. He requested that the
Commission consider two options for the roofing material,either the metal roof as shown on the plans orwith
a clay tile roof. Provided a sample of the proposed zinc roofing material.
Commission comments:
• Design lends itself to a tile roof, given the quality of workmanship, if we specify that it be a non-
homogenous clay tile roof,would feel comfortable approving the alternative roof material.
• While Mr.Grange is a talented architect,it would sets a bad precedent going forward,think an FYI
will not slow it down too much,should be more specific about the type of tile and bring it back as an
FYI.
• Neighbor asked a question about the ability to waterproof the basement,will it be a sealed unit,will
the gutters drain to the basement? (Randy Grange — today's designs for basements are fully
waterproofed—will be engineered and the engineer will oversee construction in the field).
• If you go with the metal roof,will you see the solar panels as a part of roof? How far along are you in
the structural design? (Randy Grange—yes,but it would be a clean looking roof,you won't see the
solar panels,we are close to making decision on the roof material,but haven't completed structural.)
• Prepared to approve with metal roof with solar,and if choose to go with a tile roof,it can be brought
back as FYI.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 13, 2009

QUALIFYING AS SUBSTANTIAL CONSTRUCTION (SERGE AND ALMA KARANOV,APPLICANTS AND
PROPERTY OWNERS; AND MARK ROBERTSON, MARK ROBERTSON DESIGN) STAFF CONTACT:
RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated July 13, 2009, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twelve conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Terrones opened the public hearing.
Mark Robertson, 918 East Grant, San Mateo, represented the applicant. At previous Planning Commission
meeting, there were five major points raised that have been addressed: that the proposed office be returned
to bedroom use, replaced stamped concrete with pervious pavers, increased the side setback to seven feet
except for two bay windows, added a larger front porch, and proposing to install a hedge along neighbor's
property line.
Commission comments:
• On the front elevation, why is there one column on left side & two on right, it seems that it is not
symmetrical, could open porch opening even more and have columns closer together, could the
guard rails be eliminated (Mark Robertson-there is a lot ofmass and bulk with the brick chimney on
the left side, thought one was sufficient on that side. Building code requires railing, the columns woul-'—
have to be four inches apart to eliminate the railing))
4
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes July 13, 2009
■ Are bay windows allowed to project into side setback? (Planning Manager Brooks - no, chimneys can
~' project into side setbacks, bay windows are allowed to project into front setback but not side.)
■ Great job on the house, symmetrical columns make sense, but the garage door seems like a
holdover, seems that it's a little plain compared to what will be done to the house.
■ There is some justification for the Setback Variance; the bay windows do a nice job of articulating the
fapade.
■ Agree with justification for Lot Coverage Variance, the need for the Variance is created by filling in a
hollow on the site, not for adding a structure.
Public comments:
■ Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa, want to know if there is plumbing in the existing accessory structure, would it
become a bedroom, living space. (Planning Manager Brooks — the accessory structure has been
there for a long time and contains plumbing, it is considered an existing nonconforming condition.)

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 13, 2009
Robert Nebelon, 801 Camelia Street, Berkeley, CA represented the applicant, noting that the project has
been revised to address neighbor's concerns with impact on his view, and adjustments were made to make
sure it accomplished his concerns, view is preserved completely.
Commission comments:
• Have met with Mr. Holland, the uphill neighbor, and he stated he had no concerns with the current
project.
• Appreciate working as hard as you did to come up with a great solution that satisfies the neighbor.
• Thanks for working it out, how will the grading be handled around the house? (Robert Nebelon —
grade will drop 15— 16 inches, will have a low wall around it, walls go forward up and around the
driveway and keep the landscape as it is now, will make it more interesting. There is already a
retaining wall, will replace it and add steps.)
• Wondering as long as there will be a new floor and excavate down, did you consider using an in slab
radiant system to be able to raise the ceiling inside? (Robert Nebelon-it is a budgetary constraint,
did consider, but are proposing to use forced air.)
• Where will forced air system be located? (Robert Nebelon—there will be two separate systems for
the two sectors of the house, one will hang in the rafters in the garage, will handle the right side, the
other furnace will be in a closet outside Bath #1, there will be a soffit down eastern side of house to
handle ducting on that side.)
• How will the two forced air units vent, concerned with things popping up from the roof and affecting
the neighbor's view. (Robert Nebelon— will use a high efficiency direct vent system.)
• How will the skylights be detailed so they won't project above roof line? (Robert Nebelon-will use flat
glass, so won't block, they can be made smaller, will have a low profile.)
• Would like to see how the skylights will be configured, need to show the location and how high it will
be, like to be more confident so we can see the impact on the view.
• Have you thought about clerestory windows in the wall between the lower roof and the existing roof?
• Consider rotating the hallway skylight so it has a less potential to impact view,will also provide more
light into hallway.
Public comments:
• None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commission comments:
• Elevations fine, greatly improved, only remaining concern is impact of skylights,want to see impact..
• Would like to add to the conditions of approval that 1)a mock up of skylights be done with story poles
and a certified story pole plan be brought back to the Commission as an FYI; 2) that the forced air
furnace system shall be direct vent; and 3) that the plumbing vents shall be collected in an
unobtrusive location.

5. 2617 HALE DRIVE, ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR FLOOR AREA RATIO VARIANCE FOR
EXPANSION INTO AN ATTIC SPACE IN AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING(TRG ARCHITECTS,
APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; ELIOT AND KARA ALM, PROPERTY OWNERS) STAFF CONTACT:
RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated July 13, 2009, with attachments. Planning Manager Brooks presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Seven conditions were suggested for consideration.
�— Chair Terrones opened the public hearing.
Randy Grange, TRG Architects, 205 Park Road, represented the applicant. The space in the attic was
already there, don't know when it was improved, earlier plans did not show that space. It appears some of
the space has been accessible for quite some time. It is a split level house, circulation is inefficient, has a
large attached garage. They are not adding to mass and bulk, but trying to be able to use the attic space.
Had the attic space been shown in original plans,would have met the FAR requirements in place at that time.
Building Division comments indicate that the existing man doorthat leads to the storage space is required to
be changed to a 22"x 30"hatch because the room does not meet the requirements for habitable space as it
is now, submitted photos of front"closet".
Commission comments:
• The attic spaces are created because of the 12/12 roof pitch? (Randy Grange—yes.)
• Remodel done several years ago, family room extension & kitchen remodel, did that add floor area?
(Randy Grange—yes, removed an old addition, and added family room at back.)
• The plans note "recently finished floor" at front part of closet, explain. (Randy Grange—the owners
put in a hardwood floor over existing plywood.)
• Can justify the variance given the fact that this lot only has a 45-foot frontage, so it is difficult to
detach the garage and take advantage of increased floor area allowance, and due to the evolution of
zoning requirements regarding floor area, it caused the existing attic space to exceed current floor
area ratio requirements.
Public Comment:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa, Commission reviews projects that are maximum FAR and also get
permission to have basement which is exempted from FAR, why not call this attic a basement, it is
9
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes July 13, 2009
existing space that is already there, doesn't contribute to mass and bulk, not different from what
granted for basements.
■ Kara Alfi, 2617 Hale, as far as the storage closet in back, like that this house has storage, were able
to get rid of rental storage unit, would like to keep that door. (Planning Manager Brooks— the issue of
whether the door can be full size needs to be resolved with the Chief Building Official and project
must comply with building code requirements.)
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commission comments:
■ Have to consider common sense, this is an elegant house with steep pitched roof, if we don't count it
we should have; don't think this will impact neighborhood.
Commissioner Brownrigg moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following amended
conditions:
1 . that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
July 1 , 2009, sheets Al .1 through A3.1 ;
2. that if the structure is demolished or the envelope changed at a later date the Floor Area Ratio
Variance, as well as any other exceptions to the code granted here, will become void;
3. that the conditions of the Chief Building Official's July 6 and May 29, 2009 memos shall be met, or ar.,
amended by the Chief Building Official;
4. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall
not occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to comply with
all the regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District;
5. that prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of the project, the project construction plans
shall be modified to include a cover sheet listing all conditions of approval adopted by the Planning
Commission, or City Council on appeal; which shall remain a part of all sets of approved plans
throughout the construction process. Compliance with all conditions of approval is required; the
conditions of approval shall not be modified or changed without the approval of the Planning
Commission, or City Council on appeal;
6. that the project shall comply with the Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance which
requires affected demolition, new construction and alteration projects to submit a Waste Reduction
plan and meet recycling requirements; any partial or full demolition of a structure, interior or exterior,
shall require a demolition permit; and
7. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Uniform Fire Codes,
2007 Edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Yie.
Discussion of motion:
■ Should amend condition 3 to give flexibility to Chief Building Official's conditions.
■ The motion maker and second agreed to amend the motion to modify this condition.

ADDITION TO A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING (MRS. JING LING LAU, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY
OWNER; AND LI-SHENG FU, ARCHITECT) STAFF CONTACT ERICA STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated July 13, 2009, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier brie'-
presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
14
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes July 13, 2009
Chair Terrones opened the public comment period.
Li-Sheng Fu, architect, 180 Martindale, Fremont, represented the applicant.
■ Design of exterior follows the original ranch style details; second story repeats first floor details.
Commission comments:
■ Concern with height of addition, noticed have nine foot plate height proposed on second floor, makes
it look top heavy, like to see it reduced to 8 foot ceiling.
■ The front porch extends across, but entry roof element only spans the front door, feels like front porch
area is not sheltered so not usable, would make a stronger entry statement if covered, could use a
trellis, think some sort of roof or connection would reduce vertical mass of two-story wall, also creates
negative space under the porch and creates sitting area.
■ Could have a roof on knee braces centered over the window to provide some covered area.
■ Concern with choice of roof design on garage — feels like the house was chopped off and shifted
over, if had gable would tie into gable on front elevation.
■ Why did you detach the garage? (Li-Sheng Fu - originally because it would allow increase in square
footage and to have separation, with existing attached garage, there is no direct access from house
to garage, want to have a two car garage, it also provides screening for the hospital next door,
creates a sense of courtyard for the area behind the garage.)
■ If an attached garage didn't count in FAR, would you attach it to house? (Li-Sheng Fu — no, want the
court yard feeling at the back.)
■ Maybe missing a great opportunity to get light into the stair well because of entry element over front
door, that should be developed and stair well expressed on exterior of building.
_ Could have 16 — 18 foot width on garage since it's not required to be two-car garage, but could still fit
two cars.
• Need articulation on large mass at rear, consider adding a roof over the back door.
■ Have sympathy with corner lot and attached garage, but don't want to see a solution that's not the
best use of space between the two structures, if you attach the garage and have access into the
house without going outside it works better for the homeowners.
■ Could stagger the two garage doors.
Public comments:
■ Chris Foley, 1504 Davis Drive; and Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa spoke.
■ Share a property line with this property, wouldn't discourage two-car garage, there is a lot of on street
parking in the area from duplexes. Shared photos of back of her house, only see the hospital behind
us, expect when in operation will need black out curtains, the one place we have sky views is over the
top of this house, which will be increased in height. Have concern about windows in rear of property,
will look directly into our property, like to have you consider applicant change window layout to protect
our privacy, agree that back of building looks plain, would like to see some detail, but mostly
concerned with the windows, like the idea of clerestory windows, when house sold, hospital was up
and huge, should have been aware of hospital being there.
■ Would like to remind the owner that the trees on the hospital property next door will be 40 — 60 feet
tall, will screen hospital, but will lose sunlight, will need to get sunlight from the front of property.
Commission comment:
• There is a window facing the hospital, and two facing neighbor, what if those windows facing neighbor
could be made higher, could also get high windows on front elevation. (Li-Sheng Fu - two windows in
bathrooms could be clerestory, and windows in bedroom could be obscured.)

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION–Unapproved Minutes July 13,2009
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commission comment:
• Agree that the house looks top heavy,like to see it reduced to 8-foot plate height on second floor.
• This project appears to be a fine candidate for referral to a design review consultant.
• There are parking issues in this neighborhood,think that the garage can be two car,but think that
thought needs to be given to the garage design,should consider reorienting the gable roof,think it's
okay to have garage attached and consider Variance for FAR,in this case it may make more sense to
have an attached garage.
• Design review consultant can provide input on design and placement of garage,height of structure,
side elevation of house,views into neighbor's yard,front porch design. If garage is buffer to hospital
then it's okay if garage is detached,otherwise should have an attached garage.
• Hard to understand what's going on with the landscaping,landscape plan should consider screening
of the added mass and bulk.
• In looking at the windows on the back,there are possibilities to put windows on north side of bedroom
two, but still need articulation on the elevation facing the neighbor, want to preserve neighbor's
privacy.
Commissioner Cauchi made a motion to refer the item to a design review consultant.

STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND DETACHED GARAGE(FLORIAN SPEIER,APPLICANT AND
DESIGNER;JOLANDA AND GARY BREAZEALE, PROPERTY OWNERS) STAFF CONTACT: ERICA
STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated July 13, 2009, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier briefly
presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Terrones opened the public comment period.
Florian Speier,2932 McKinley Avenue,Berkeley,represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• What is garage door material(Florian Speier–would be wood to go with the rest of the house.)
• Why is front door not on front of house? (Florian Speier–improved the layout of the house,trying to
maintain privacy and get good lighting,clients wanted a large double story entrance in the middle.)
• Looking at plan and site planning,getting excited with different things happening,courtyard on south
side, but looking at roof plan, is a radical departure from architectural vocabulary we see around
Burlingame, like to see explanation on how it fits neighborhood. (Florian Speier–main design
consideration to respecting adjoining residences,tried more traditional styles,had more bulk at strer—
with this style will reduce the height at the front,olderhouses in neighborhood have clear and simp.
roofs,trying to avoid a complicated roof.)

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 13, 2009
• Understand that a good portion of the house is springing from a story and half, but it is a large house
on a larger lot, would like to see more articulation on front elevation, there is not enough that talks
about entry and invites people to it from the street, it's a pretty blank wall with a peculiar shape and
peculiarly shaped windows. The front elevation is usually a place where we like to see a vocabulary
that addresses the street.
• We would expect front of house to respond more directly to vocabulary around Burlingame, not just
adding something to add decoration, there are things that can be done to integrate it more.
• Not sure what you're trying to do, don't think it fits in with neighborhood at all, too bulky, seems like
cabin in Lake Tahoe because of the bulkiness, the front fapade, and the doorway on the side.
Cannot support it as it stands.
• Don't understand where the design is coming from,we appreciate both contemporary and traditional
design, but mostly appreciate contextual design. Cant' imagine more mass in front than what is
proposed. Roof is brought down on driveway side where could have more mass, on side closer to
neighbor it is more massive.
• There is a wide portal tucked into the roof form, but nothing is expressed on exterior, what is
expressed is a broad shingled roof.
• Appreciate effort in green features, but we have seen designs that achieve these things but also are
contextual and fit in with neighborhood.
• West elevation looks like something that would look over Lake Tahoe and distant views. (Florian
Speier—there is a green oasis at the rear, that's why a lot of glass is used on that elevation, there are
no other windows from neighboring properties and lot is deep.)
• Looking for pedestrian scale on front elevation.
• Not necessarily looking for quaint storybooks, have seen contemporary designs that incorporate
elements of scale.
• Quirky design, some positive aspects, love the loft on second floor, if you could move entry to front
and articulate front entryway, and reconfigure spaces to get drama you want. Reserve the grand
gestures to the back rather than the side elevations.
• There is a beautiful example cattycorner across the street, has beautiful porch, announces front door.
• Look at driveway, it is a long driveway that requires extra movement to get in and out.
Public Comments:
• Ed Bohnert, 124 Costa Rica, Mary Ann Nichols; 116 Costa Rica, Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa; Tom
Buckley, 113 Costa Rica spoke.
• Don't think it's an attractive home for neighborhood, disappointed, aesthetics aren't what Burlingame
is about, don't think it fits.
• Agree with Commission about the feel of the house, it looks sideways and is barnlike, roofline doesn't
feel like it's in harmony with neighborhood. Only required to have one parking space, seem to have
parking issues in the neighborhood. Presented a picture of house on Occidental and Howard, is
shingle on outside and it is not weathering well, too rustic looking.
• When I looked at plans, couldn't figure out where front door is, from pedestrian point of view, is a
retreat, is not a home welcoming neighbors, this would be great house on the Lost Coast, but does
not fit in to the Costa Rica neighborhood, ask that applicant and homeowner rethink what they want
their house to look like. Suggest project be sent to design review consultant.
• Welcome them to neighborhood, but have a problem with the garage, it is barely able to be accessed,
don't believe someone will park their car in the garage, and will impact street parking, should be
redesigned to give more room to garage to relieve parking problems, agree it should be sent to
design review for the reasons commission has stated.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.

8. 1419 CARLOS AVENUE, ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW AND SPECIAL PERMITS
FOR BUILDING HEIGHT AND BASEMENT FOR A NEW, TWO-STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING,
DETACHED GARAGE AND BASEMENT (JACK MCCARTHY DESIGNER, INC., APPLICANT AND
DESIGNER; KIERAN J. WOODS TR, PROPERTY OWNER) STAFF CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated July 13, 2009, with attachments. Planning Manager Brooks briefly presented the
project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Terrones opened the public comment period.
Jack McCarthy, 5339 Prospect Road, San Jose, represented the applicant. _
■ Requesting a special permit for height because the lot slopes up from street and height is measurea
from the top of curb.
Commission comments.-
0
omments:■ Relative to finished floor, height is about 28-29 feet, but is considered taller because of slope of lot.
■ Nice house, good job, like treatment of chimney at back.
■ There is now some landscaping at the front entry that would be lost, would like to see a way to get a
buffer back between the new house and driveway and house next door, driveway is 10'-8" wide ,
maybe could get some planting next to neighbor's house.
■ Where will the sump pump be for the basement, concern with sound attenuation (Jack McCarthy —
will be inside the structure where it won't affect neighbors.)
■ Like your work, have a minimal front porch, what if you added French doors on the dining room at the
front and expanded pavers in front and shielded that area, could create a retreat in front of dining
area, would be buffered by the dwarf magnolia.
■ Like the brick element at the front, could you consider adding another brick element, could add at
second story window, like to see vocabulary repeated somewhere, box for fireplace could be brick.
(Jack McCarthy — as far as fireplace goes, wouldn't see, makes more sense to brick the area by the
nook. Would see it along the driveway.)
■ Nice balance, like single brick element to set off stucco. When sourcing light fixture by the front door,
pick a more interesting style.
■ Reason for doors to side, building code requires light and egress, unless allowed to artificially
ventilate, need that much area to provide adequate light, building code also dictates how wide well
has to be.
■ Are pushing the 36 foot limit, would encourage you to reach out to neighbors.
■ If change to French doors on the front, would like that they are appropriately articulated.
18
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 13, 2009
Public comments.-
Pat
omments:Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa, love the house, hate the basement, it adds to floor area. Would like to see
the French doors proposed for egress from basement moved to front, and egress to basement could
be ladder, depending on how the basement is used, it could impact neighbors if used for
entertainment.
■ Like the brick don't think need to add more, could have brick walkway instead of pavers.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Auran made a motion to place the item on the Consent Calendar when complete.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Brownrigg.
Discussion of motion:
■ Given the request for 36 foot height, should consider requiring story poles to articulate the ridge
height. Pole at outside edge and two at ridge to give profile would be okay, as long as the ridge is
shown in the proper location.
Chair Terrones called for a vote on the motion to place this item on the Consent Calendar when plans have
been revised as directed and story poles installed as directed. The motion passed on a voice vote 6-0-1
(Commissioner Lindstrom absent). Appeal procedures were advised. The Planning Commission's action is
advisory and not appealable. This item concluded at 9:55 p.m.

Chief of Police
June 16, 2009
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Police Department statistics and highlights for the month of May, 2009
DEPARTMENTAL INFORMATION:
-One new recruit officer(funded with the state COPS grant)is in the 6 month Police Academy.
-One new officer completed the FTO Program in June;the other new officer will complete the program in July.
-One sworn officer(20 months)remains out on long-term leave.
-One Dispatcher is out on leave(indefinitely).
-Citizen crime identification system"Crimereports.com"is in place;RapidNotify(a reverse 911 notification
system)is currently in use by the police department,CCFD and PW.It was recently used to notify citizens residing
around BHS about parking and traffic related to the Special Olympics Competition.
-BPD continues its active involvement with the County Gang Task Force which is currently in its active mode.
-Reported Part 1 (Serious)Crimes in Burlingame for May are up(first time in several years)from last year(I 10)
compared to(76)and YTD(409 vs. 399);while Reported Part 2 Crimes for May continue to be down from last
year,(168)compared to(206)and YTD(841 vs. 922). Our community should NEVER take safety for granted.
However,the downturn in the economy,unemployment and uncertainty,and reductions in LE officers in every
community statewide,crime will certainly be on the rise in all communities, including ours.
TRAFFIC AND PARKING INFORMATION:
-Moving citations continue to increase for YTD: 2,469 vs. 2,230(the same time last year). This is due to specialized
traffic motorcycle officer enforcement, selective enforcement of citizen generated traffic complaints in problem
areas by patrol officers and the diligence of our new officers;all of which are committed to our community's safety.
-Parking citation totals have also increased YTD 15,699 vs. 13,231 (the same time last year).
-Red Light photo enforcement is actively working at ECR and Broadway.
-The pilot daytime parking permit program will be considered for permanent status(by Council) in June/July.
MONTHLY STATISTICAL INFORMATION:
-Please remember that the monthly police department report is displayed in both numbers and percentages. When
reviewing the police department report remember to consider the actual numbers of various crime categories in
conjunction with the percentages.
Kindly feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
