NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUN- CIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME, that: 1. All notices required to be given and all hearings required to be held by Government Code §§65351 and 65355, and all reports required to be filed by Government Code §65504 have been given, held or filed in the form and at the time and in the manner prescribed by law. 2. The Proposed General Plan for Burlingame, being a Proposed General Plan for Burlingame, California, June 1969, pre- pared and submitted by WILLIAM SPANGLE & ASSOCIATES, and approved by the Planning Commission, be, and the same is hereby, adopted as and for the General Plan of the City of Burlingame, subject, however, to the following changes, which changes are made integral parts of said General Plan as fully as if printed therein in full: Paragraph 103 is changed to read: "An area northwest of the Burlingame Avenue - Park Road shopping center is designated for high density residential uses in recognition of its special locational advantages. It has good access to all forms of transporta- tion and proximity to the major downtown area in Burlingame. The dominant building type envisaged for this area is multi -story apart- ment buildings.t1 - 2 - Paragraph 104 is changed to read: "Areas for medium high density residential uses are designated around the periphery of the Burlingame Avenue -Park Road center, around the Broadway shopping center, and as a part of the complex of activities in the Burlin- game Plaza area. In addition, the frontage along most of El Camino Real is included in this category. The medium high density re- sidential area in many instances provide a transition between higher intensity uses and adjoining lower intensity uses. The typical building type contemplated for the medium high density area is the two to three story apartment building but higher buildings would also be appropriate.11 Paragraph 120 is changed to read: "Burlingame Avenue -Park Road Center. This Center includes outlets providing a wide range of consumer goods and services for Burlingame residents and residents of adjoin- ing communities. It also includes business service establishments, business and profes- sional offices, civic buildings, and some residential uses. The following organization of uses within the center is recommended: shopping goods outlets should, in the main, be located along Burlingame Avenue and Park Road in a pedestrian precinct: convenience goods stores, restaurants, and consumer ser- vice outlets should not occupy ground level street frontage space in the heart of the center but should be in more peripheral loca- tions; the frontage of the west side of Chapin Avenue should be limited to office uses; the Service and Special Sales area indicated along California Drive and Highland Avenue recog- nizes the existing auto sales and service activities and provides space for expansion of "auto row" businesses or other similar kinds of activity; an area between Highland Avenue and Park Road is designated for medium high density residential development. This downtown center presents a prime opportunity to develop combinations of retail, office and residential uses in clusters of appropriately designed structures. Sites on the periphery would be appropriate for apartments for single persons and families without children partic- ularly those who want the advantages of a loca- tion near a center of activity and do not wish to own an automobile. Areas designated for shopping and service uses along Park and Prim- rose roads south of Howard Avenue are appro- priate locations for office and institutional uses in addition to retail and consumer service establishments. Measures to enhance appear- ance and attractiveness of this area should be given particular attention so as to provide an invitin entrance to Burlingame's downtown center. - 3 - Paragraph 205 is changed to read: "A system of major arterials is proposed to take care of longer distance local trips and to connect Burlingame with adjacent communities. These include E1 Camino Real (a State Highway), California Drive, and Bayshore Highway and its extension through the Anza Pacific development for major north -south movements. The latter route would connect with the San Francisco Airport on the north and with the major street system in the City of San Mateo on the south. The relationship of this route to Burlingame's Bayside Park is unfortunate but, with existing conditions, there does not seem to be any prac- tical solution that would avoid separating the park from the Bay. Special care will be needed in designing this street. The portion abutting the City Park should be located outboard of the present bulkhead to avoid reducing the park area. Particular attention should be given to visual quality, provision of pedestrian crossings, and minimizing the impact of industrial traffic on the recreational use of the park and the water- front. Other major arterials include Millbrae Avenue (in the City of Millbrae), Trousdale Drive, Carmelita Avenue from E1 Camino Real to California Drive and a connection to a grade separation at Broadway and the railroad, Oak Grove Avenue and Peninsula Avenue. These arte- rials would carry the major volume of east -west trips and connect with State highways and free- ways. " Paragraph 207 is changed to read: "Grade Separation Structures Railroad grade separations are recommended at Broadway, Oak Grove, Howard, and Peninsula avenues. A highway overpass is needed across Bayshore Freeway to connect Millsdale and East Millsdale Industrial areas. (See also proposals under the heading, Broadway-Bayshore Interchange Area.) In addition, an overpass to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists is recommended to connect to the Bayside Park from the vicinity of Winchester Drive." Paragraph 210 is changed to read: "'More specific proposals are: 1. Grade spearate Broadway and the Southern Pacific Railroad. 2. Provide two completely new links to permit some traffic to avoid the Broadway -Rollins Road intersection. One of these should connect the Millsdale and East Millsdale - 4 - Industrial areas with an overpass on Bayshore Freeway, The other link proposed is a new street southeast of Cadillac Way extending from Bayshore Boulevard to Carolan Avenue. This new street should be obtained when the presently vacant land is developed, 3. On Bayshore Freeway, move the entrance to the southbound off -ramp as far north as pos- sible and provide connections to Marsten Road, Broadway and Cadillac Way." 3. The City Clerk be, and he is hereby, ordered to transmit a copy of the General Plan together with a certified copy of this resolution to the Planning Commission of the County of San Mateo, State of California, as directed by the provisions of §65360 of the Government Code. Mayor I, HERBERT K. WHITE, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 20th day of October 1969 and adopted thereafter by the following vote: AYES: Councilmen: Amstrup-Crosby-George-Johnson-Martin.
