NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUN-

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

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.

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.
