Jobs-Housing Gap
It’s becoming more difficult for people to call San
Mateo County home. Job opportunities are growing
rapidly, but with limited housing available, there is a
growing need for homes people can afford.

Land Use Challenge
The majority (75%) of San Mateo
County’s land is preserved for open
space and agriculture.
Of developed land, more than 2/3 of
the current housing stock is single
family homes.

e. ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONTRACT WITH IPS GROUP, INC.,
FOR THE PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION OF SMART PARKING METERS IN
THE DOWNTOWN AREA, CITY PROJECT NO. 84410, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT
DPW Murtuza asked Council to adopt Resolution Number 3-2017.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated he pulled this item to inform the public that the City would be installing smart
meters in the downtown business districts. He stated that these meters would be put on streets and not in
parking lots. He explained that the City was researching different options for parking lots such as pay boxes.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that one of his main concerns was the 13 cent transaction fee for credit cards.
He stated that this was a large overhead when one took into consideration the cost of parking. He asked what
assurances staff had that the City was receiving the best deal in respect to the transaction fee.
DPW Murtuza stated that staff vetted the credit card fees associated with all companies that submitted
proposals. He stated that the costs were very comparable across the board. He explained that a majority of
the cities use the same vendors for credit card fees. He stated that if credit card usage gets higher the City
can renegotiate their contract and rates.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg asked if San Francisco was paying the same rate. DPW Murtuza stated that he hasn’t
talked to San Francisco about this but that he knows their vendor and the rates are the same.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg asked how staff came up with the suggested list of streets for smart meter
installation. DPW Murtuza stated that these are the streets in the two downtown areas.
Councilmember Keighran asked about the timeline for when DPW Murtuza would bring back options for
meters in the parking lots. DPW Murtuza stated that currently he does not have a timeline but that he
believes this item would be brought to Council in the next couple of years.
Councilmember Keighran asked if smart meters would be installed on the side streets of Broadway. DPW
Murtuza replied in the negative.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated he felt the City might be putting in too many meters. He explained that with
respect to Broadway, as staff stated in the report, the City may lose money on Broadway meters if a majority
of people use credit cards. He asked if the Broadway merchants asked for smart meters and knew that
parking rates may need to be raised as a result of the high credit card transaction fee. DPW Murtuza replied
in the affirmative.
Councilmember Colson talked about the fact that outside the scope of the parking meters, IPS’ proposal
stated that they would work with the City to set up meters that would be used as fundraising tools for a
charity of the City’s choosing. She stated that this was something the City should look into as it might be a
good way to raise funds for organizations like Call Primrose.

CDD Meeker presented the staff report concerning the introduction of an ordinance rezoning property and
considering a general plan amendment. He stated that the applicant, Putnam, is proposing to construct a new
service facility at its existing automobile dealership at 85 California Drive. He explained that in order to
accommodate the new service facility, a portion of the attached property owned by the Putnam automobile
group, would need to be rezoned from R-4 to CAR. He showed the property lines and how a portion of
Putnam’s property is currently zoned R-4. He explained that this piece of property does not have any
structures on it and is currently being utilized as a car lot.
CDD Meeker further stated that if this property was rezoned from R-4 to CAR it would still allow residential
units above the ground floor.

Mayor Ortiz asked the City Clerk to read the title of the proposed ordinance.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg made a motion to waive further reading and introduce the ordinance; seconded by
Councilmember Colson. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.
Mayor Ortiz opened the hearing for public comment.
Burlingame resident Kristen Parks discussed her concern that the rezoning would take away the opportunity
to create affordable housing.
Ken Putnam discussed the lot and stated that it currently is used as a car lot with no plans for construction.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg asked if Mr. Putnam considered developing workforce housing above the
dealerships. Mr. Putnam replied that this wasn’t currently under consideration.
A discussion was had as to what the permitted building height is in CAR zone and whether it would make
financial sense to build housing for workforce there. Vice Mayor Brownrigg discussed the need to find ways
to assist businesses whose workforce travel great distances to get to work. He stated that workforce housing
was one such option.
Councilmember Keighran discussed previous conversations the City had about encouraging housing above
the car dealerships. She gave the example of San Francisco and the housing that was created above the
dealerships on Van Ness.
Councilmember Beach discussed how it is a minimal change and that CAR zoning allows for the addition of
housing. She stated that workforce housing is an important conversation and was glad that the Council
considered it when discussing the rezoning for this item.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg made a motion to bring the proposed ordinance back at the next meeting; seconded
by Councilmember Keighran. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.
b. PUBLIC HEARING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME, AMENDING TITLE 21 – HISTORIC
RESOURCE PRESERVATION OF THE BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING
PROVISIONS DEFINING “ADAPTIVE RE-USE” AND OUTLINING PROCEDURES FOR
GRANTING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR ADAPTIVE RE-USE
OF HISTORIC RESOURCES WITHIN THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
CDD Meeker presented the staff report concerning a proposed ordinance amending Title 21 – Historic
Resource Preservation of the Burlingame Municipal Code by adding provisions defining “Adaptive Re-Use”

and outlining procedures for granting approval of a conditional use permit for adaptive re-use of historic
resources within the City of Burlingame.
Mr. Meeker explained that on June 16, 2014, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1899 adding Title 21 –
Historic Resources Preservation to the Code. As adopted, the ordinance establishes a historic preservation
program applicable to any property deemed historic within the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan. The
program established a series of incentives available to owners of historic properties to encourage the
preservation of designated structures. He explained that to date, no property owner has taken advantage of
the program. The incentives include Mills Act Contract, Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives, use of
the California Historic Building Code, Historic Variances and fee reduction.
Mr. Meeker continued by explaining that as is frequently the case with historic resources, the purpose for
which a structure was initially built, may not be one that is appropriate or desirable in the present setting. He
added that conversion of such a structure to a use that would be permitted under current zoning regulations
can often result in the need for modifications to the property that negatively impact those character-defining
features that supported designation as a historic resource in the first place.
Mr. Meeker explained that the proposed amendment would define Adaptive Reuse as “repurposing a
designated historic resource for different uses or functions than those for which it was originally designed
while retaining the original historic features of the resource.” He explained that the Conditional Use Permits
process would be used to guarantee that the use qualified as an adaptive reuse. He stated that the Planning
Commission considered this amendment and recommended approval.
Councilmember Keighran asked if staff believed that the reason no-one had used the historic preservation
ordinance yet was because of the lack of flexibility and ADA requirements. CDD Meeker responded that he
believed this to be part of the problem.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated he approved of the incentive based approach. He asked in respect to the Mills
Act, if the tax incentive applied to the entire property or only the portion that was considered historic. Vice
Mayor Brownrigg gave the example of the post office in Burlingame and the lot it sits on. CDD Meeker
stated it wouldn’t be interpreted that broadly as the intention is only to preserve the structure that is the
focus.
Councilmember Colson voiced her support of the amendment stating that she had seen it used in other
communities to benefit schools and historic buildings.
Mayor Ortiz asked the City Clerk to read the title of the proposed ordinance.
Councilmember Keighran made a motion to waive further reading and introduce the proposed ordinance;
seconded by Councilmember Beach. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.
Mayor Ortiz opened the public hearing for public comment. No one spoke.

c. INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 13.36.040 OF THE
BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE TO REVISE AND ESTABLISH A ‘TWO-HOUR
PARKING’ RESTRICTION FROM 2:00 P.M. TO 6:00 P.M., MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY, ON CAROLAN AVENUE FROM NORTH LANE TO OAK GROVE AVENUE
DPW Murtuza presented the staff report concerning a proposed ordinance that would establish a two-hour
parking restriction from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, along both sides of Carolan Avenue
from North Lane to Oak Grove Avenue.
Mr. Murtuza gave the background of the proposed ordinance, stating that the amendment originated from the
concerns of students and Burlingame High School. He explained that both had expressed their concern about
the lack of student parking, the inconsistent restrictions on Carolan Avenue and that students were getting
cited.
DPW Murtuza explained that currently, there is a two-hour parking restriction on the west side of the street
from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; and no parking restriction on the east side of the street.
He stated that the amendment to change the on-street parking restrictions was the collaboration of the Police
Department and Public Works. He explained that the matter was discussed at the Traffic Safety and Parking
Commission meetings on October 13, 2016 and November 10, 2016. Police Chief Wollman attended both
meetings and answered questions from the Commissioners. He stated that TSP Commission unanimously
recommended the amendment.
DPW Murtuza explained that the Police and Public Works believe that the amendment will address the needs
expressed by the students and school staff, while being consistent and fair in terms of enforcing parking
restrictions. He explained that the proposed change would allow students to continue parking on-street
during school session and after school activities without fear of getting a parking citation. However, he
stated that the amendment would continue to act as a deterrent for employees and commuters that try to park
along this section of Carolan Avenue.
Councilmember Colson asked for the number of on-campus parking spaces at Burlingame High School.
DPW Murtuza stated that there are 1,421 students with 700 eligible to drive and 110 parking spots with 80
reserved for staff. He added that there are 126 parking spots on Carolan Avenue.
Councilmember Colson stated that these numbers highlight the problem and that the amendment should help
to alleviate the issue. As well, she stated that the BHS athletic department will need to work with students
who drive to school on the day of away games, so that they can move their car before leaving.
DPW Murtuza stated that the school liaison will be working with the school on these issues. As well, he
stated that they had not received any complaints about students parking in the neighborhoods.

Councilmember Beach asked if the TSP Commission discussed the proposed ordinance’s impact on traffic
and pedestrian safety. As well, she asked if TSP Commission had discussed the environmental impact and
student health factors associated with the proposed ordinance. DPW Murtuza stated that TSP Commission
always considers traffic and pedestrian safety but that the other issues that Councilmember Beach discussed
were outside the scope of TSP Commission. City Attorney Kane added that the proposed ordinance does not
rise to a level that requires a CEQA analysis.
Councilmember Beach stated that what she wanted was a discussion/analysis of the benefits of a parking
program versus eliminating parking restrictions in the BHS neighborhood. She stated that she wondered if it
would reduce the amount of parking in that area and whether it would help encourage more students to seek
other forms of transportation to school. City Manager Goldman responded to Councilmember Beach’s
concern about other forms of transportation by stating that in her regular meetings with Superintendent
Skelly, he discussed his interest in increasing biking to the high school with bike paths and bike racks.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg asked if the road diet for Carolan would preserve all the parking spots on Carolan.
DPW Murtuza replied in the affirmative.
Councilmember Keighran asked if parking permits were originally considered in that area. DPW Murtuza
replied in the affirmative but stated that after studying this option it was not recommended.
Mayor Ortiz asked the City Clerk to read the title of the proposed Ordinance.
Councilmember Keighran made a motion to waive further reading and introduce the proposed ordinance;
seconded by Vice Mayor Brownrigg. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.
Mayor Ortiz opened the public hearing. No one spoke.
Councilmember Colson thanked the Police Department for their efforts in ensuring traffic and pedestrian
safety around the school. She made a motion to bring back the proposed ordinance at the next meeting.
Councilmember Beach stated that it was the job of Council to not only look at what’s best for one group but
what is best for the City. Accordingly, she stated that she was concerned that by amending the parking hours
on Carolan Avenue, that the City is making it easier and more appealing for students to drive and park at
school. She asked if this should be a goal of the City or if they should instead try to discourage teenagers
from driving the short distance to school. She discussed potential effects of having more student drivers
including an increase in traffic and greenhouse gas emissions. She stated that while the policy is addressing
the concerns of the high school students, that there are bigger questions the Council should be thinking
about. She stated she would like to see the TSP Commission think about a parking program or other ways to
reduce the number of cars on the street.
Councilmember Colson’s motion was seconded by Councilmember Keighran.

Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated he understood Councilmember Beach’s concerns. However, he stated in his
opinion the City isn’t adding parking, the City is restoring parking. He explained that the City only began
enforcing parking restrictions on this street as a result of the concerns raised about Caltrain commuters using
the street for long term parking. Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that the proposed ordinance would continue
to deter the commuters from parking on this street, while allowing for student parking.
Councilmember Beach discussed the idea that a majority of Burlingame is flat and therefore the school and
City should be encouraging students to bike to school.
Councilmember Colson encouraged Councilmember Beach to work directly with the school and student
green clubs to see what their ideas were to encourage students to bicycle or carpool to school.
Mayor Ortiz called the motion to vote. The motion passed by voice vote; 4-1 (Councilmember Beach voted
against).
10. STAFF REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a. ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
Finance Director Augustine presented the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) for the fiscal
year 2015-16.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that the Audit Committee (Councilmember Colson and himself) wanted to
introduce this item in part because of the long discussion that recently occurred about City bookkeeping. As
well, he stated that in reviewing the CAFR it is clear that while the City has made good investments that
there are significant expenses ahead.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that what the Audit Committee wanted to share with the Council and the
community was the profound thumbs up that the outside auditors gave the Finance Department.
Councilmember Colson discussed how the City’s new auditors, Maze & Associates, were well versed in
government auditing and therefore congratulated the City on receiving the high rating.
Finance Director Augustine thanked the Audit Committee and conducted a brief review of the CAFR
explaining what was in each section of the report. In looking at the Financial Highlights in the General Fund
she stated that general fund revenues saw a 6.86% increase over the prior year. She stated that property taxes
were up 5.8% and Transient Occupancy Tax was up 10%. She stated that most of these increases were
anticipated.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg asked about the $18 million being transferred out of the General Fund. Finance
Director Augustine stated that a majority of it was going to CIP funds. She stated that approximately $6
million went to debt service.

Councilmember Keighran thanked Vice Mayor Brownrigg, Councilmember Colson and the Finance
Department for their hard work on this item.
Councilmember Beach thanked Vice Mayor Brownrigg and Councilmember Colson for their hard work and
stated that as a result of their financial backgrounds they were the right individuals for the Audit Committee.
Mayor Ortiz asked if there was any specific mention about Proposition 218 and the City’s compliance with
Proposition 218 in the CAFR. Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that it was his understanding that this wasn’t
the purview of the audit. Finance Director Augustine stated that the auditors do check for general
compliance with regulations and tax law but only to the extent that there was a material discrepancy in
reporting of which there was none.
Mayor Ortiz made a cautionary statement about the TOT and how it had doubled since 2011. He reminded
the public that the City needed to be cautious with its funds as a down turn in the economy could happen
again.
Councilmember Colson discussed the analysis in the CAFR that the pension liability increased by $5.2
million. She stated that this wasn’t a result of the City not paying down its pension liabilities but rather the
liability is influenced by a number of factors including the actual investment returns the City receives from
CalPERS as well as the assumed rate of investment CalPERS believes it will receive in the future. She
stated that right now CalPERS has about a 7.5% investment return assumption but if that is moved to 8.5%
or down to 6.5% the liabilities move by about twenty million dollars. She stated that there is discussion right
now at CalPERS about reducing the assumed rate of investment return to 6.5% which would more accurately
reflect what they have been investing. She stated that if they do so then the pension liability is going to jump
to about $64 million. She stated that this is an important number for the City to watch.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg agreed with Councilmember Colson and stated that the forecast had already been
reduced to 7% and he stated that this would be discussed in the upcoming budget cycle. He stated that these
are big issues that the City will need to consider.
Finance Director Augustine stated that the sensitivity analysis that Councilmember Colson discussed is note
10 in the CAFR.
City Manager Goldman stated that she believed CalPERS had already taken some of the steps to reduce the
rate.
Councilmember Keighran made a motion to accept the CAFR; seconded by Vice Mayor Brownrigg. The
motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.

b. DISCUSSION OF COMMERCIAL LINKAGE FEE AND RESIDENTIAL HOUSING
IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDIES
Planning Manager Kevin Gardiner presented the staff report on commercial linkage fee and residential
housing impact fee nexus studies. He stated that this was the first opportunity for the City Council to
consider housing impact fees as a tool to support affordable workforce housing.
Planning Manager Gardiner explained that as part of the San Mateo County “21 Elements” multi-
jurisdictional effort, a Commercial Linkage Fee Nexus Study and Residential Impact Fee Nexus Study was
prepared for the City. Mr. Gardiner stated that included in the staff report are tables that outline different
municipalities’ decisions on using commercial linkage and/or housing impact fees.
Mr. Gardiner introduced Sujata Srivastava a Principal from Strategic Economics, to present on the studies.
Sujata Srivastava introduced the topic by providing context on where housing impact fees and commercial
linkage fees fit in the overall framework of how typical jurisdictions in San Mateo County provide affordable
housing. She explained that it is important to distinguish that the fees are used to create workforce housing
and not senior housing or homeless shelters.
She explained that pursuant to the California Mitigation Act, the nexus study is required and must show the
relation between the new development and the impact that it has on demand for affordable housing. She
stated that the theory behind commercial linkage fees is that when new commercial space opens there is a
need for new workers which creates a need for affordable workforce housing.
She stated that the housing impact fee is something that has become utilized by more local jurisdictions
because of court decisions that made it difficult to use inclusionary zoning and as a response to the decline of
redevelopment housing. She stated that the theory behind housing impact fees is that when new housing
units are developed, there becomes a need for more commercial development (grocery stores, coffee shops,
etc) which creates a need for new workers and thereby creates a need for affordable workforce housing.
She explained that in San Mateo County they measure the affordability gap of what households can afford to
buy or rent and the cost of building a new housing unit. She stated that the gap ranged between $280,000 for
very low income to $175,000 for moderate income units.
Ms. Srivastava went on to explain that in developing recommended fees for Burlingame, they compiled a
financial feasibility analysis, looked at existing permits and impact fees (building permit, road, storm drain
school, etc) and compared fees to other cities.
Councilmember Keighran asked about the current $17 per square foot fee that the report states the City has
and asked what that fee includes. Mr. Gardiner and Ms Sirvastava stated that they would need to get back to
her on the specifics of that number. Mr. Gardiner added that the fee would include building, permits, school
and traffic fees.

Councilmember Keighran asked how this fee compared to other cities. Ms. Sirvastava stated that cities
differ. She stated that there really isn’t a hard and fast rule on what the fee would be. She gave the example
that some cities include art or parks and recreation fees.
Councilmember Keighran stated that this makes it hard to compare fees between cities. She stated she
wanted to know what the average fee is in comparison to other cities. Mr. Gardiner stated that staff would
bring back a chart comparing the fees for the Council.
Councilmember Keighran asked if single family attached homes as defined in the report are townhouses.
Mr. Gardiner replied in the affirmative.
Councilmember Colson asked if they implemented a fee what would the demarcation be to determine what
projects that are already in the pipeline would need to pay a linkage fee. City Attorney Kane stated that staff
would review an appropriate point in a development’s progress to define as the cutoff.
Councilmember Colson asked how the funds from the fees are invested and utilized. CDD Meeker stated
that they would be placed in an impact fee account and would be limited in usage to the provision of
affordable housing. City Attorney Kane stated it is limited to the purpose of supporting workforce housing
but that some cities are looking at hybrid models where they are used for retention of existing stock. She
stated it would need to be analyzed carefully to ensure that the City is in compliance with the law.
Councilmember Keighran asked if the funds could be used for rent subsidies. City Attorney Kane stated that
she would need to review the law.
Councilmember Beach stated her appreciation for the regional approach to the study. She asked if some
cities considered giving incentives to developers who will be paying these fees. CDD Meeker stated that
giving incentives to increase density is something that the City already has the ability to do. However, if the
City wanted to incentivize paying the prevailing wage, that was something that staff could look into. City
Attorney Kane stated that the City must be careful in maintaining the integrity of the nexus.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that the reports provided a lot of dense information. He discussed the 800,000
square foot development at 301 Airport and stated that if the City used Ms. Srivastava’s numbers, the City
would have received $16 million in fees. He asked the staff to develop estimates of how much capital for
affordable housing would accrue if the City adopted the recommended fees. As well, he asked for an in
depth explanation of how the funds could be utilized.
Councilmember Keighran stated that she was concerned about small developments. She asked staff to
research minimum thresholds and sliding scales for fees.
Councilmember Keighran discussed the fact that the recommended fees for Burlingame were higher than the
impact fees of many cities. She asked staff to review San Carlos’ impact fees and find out if the city had
seen a decrease or increase in development and what funding San Carlos amassed for affordable housing.

Vice Mayor Brownrigg asked if an individual turned two units into four would they need to pay a housing
impact fee. Planning Manager Gardiner replied in the affirmative stating that the individual would be paying
a housing impact fee based on the net difference.
Mayor Ortiz opened the item for public comment.
Burlingame resident Leora Tanjuatco from the Housing Leadership Council thanked the Council for taking
on this issue.
Burlingame resident Cynthia Cornell discussed her support for higher commercial linkage fees and stated
that she would like the Council to consider lower housing impact fees.
Mayor Ortiz closed public comment.
Councilmember Keighran discussed her concern that the fees were high for residential and low for
commercial. She stated that she would have done it the other way, as it is commercial development that is
bringing people to the Peninsula. As well, she asked if there were cities that had just done commercial fees
and not residential. She stated she didn’t want to discourage the building of housing and therefore would
like to see more of a focus on the commercial linkage fees.
Councilmember Colson agreed with Councilmember Keighran stating that she could see the linkage between
commercial development and the need for workforce housing. However, she stated that the residential nexus
study made assumptions that she didn’t find as compelling. Accordingly, she stated she supported the
commercial linkage fees.
Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that the recommended $40 a square foot residential impact fee in comparison
to other cities fee of $17 to $20 a square foot was too high. However, he stated that housing developers
should not get a pass but instead an incentive structure should be constructed. He discussed the idea that if a
certain percentage of the units in the development were below market rate, the fee could be waived.
Councilmember Beach stated that while it wasn’t a direct nexus the City also needs to be mindful of
transportation needs.
Mayor Ortiz summarized the Council’s discussion by stating that all members agreed that the City needed to
pursue this issue and should set fees in a way that does not discourage housing development. He asked that
staff come back to Council with findings on the size of funds collected in other cities, options the City has
for spending those funds, sliding tiers for smaller projects and larger fees for commercial versus residential.
CDD Meeker replied that staff would work on answering these questions.

Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 13.36.040 of the Burlingame
Municipal Code to Revise and Establish a ‘Two-Hour Parking’ Restriction
from 2:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday Through Friday, on Carolan Avenue
from North Lane to Oak Grove Avenue
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending Chapter
13.36.040 of the Burlingame Municipal Code to revise and establish a ‘Two-Hour Parking’
Restriction from 2:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, on Carolan Avenue from North
Lane to Oak Grove Avenue by:
1. Adopting the proposed ordinance.
2. Directing the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance within 15 days of adoption.
BACKGROUND
Carolan Avenue between Oak Grove Avenue and North Lane is a two-lane roadway with on-
street parking on both sides of the street. Currently, there is a two-hour parking restriction on the
west side of the street, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; and no parking
restriction on the east side of the street. The current parking restriction was initially set to be a
deterrent for long-term parking by commuters and downtown employees. Historically, the on-
street parking in this area has been primarily used by Burlingame High School students.
Recently, a high school student and school staff member requested changes be made to the two-
hour parking restriction to allow for more accessibility to students. During a review of the parking
conditions, signage, and enforcement practice, it was discovered that although current
enforcement practice for this location was favorable to student parking, it was not consistent with
the signage.
DISCUSSION
Staff reviewed the current signage and parking conditions, and met with school officials to try to
better understand and address their concerns. After a comprehensive review of available
options, staff initially identified a permit parking program to address the matter.
Ordinance Adoption for Amending Two-Hour January 17, 2017
Parking Restriction along Carolan Avenue
2
The matter was discussed by the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission (TSPC) at their October
13, 2016, and November 10, 2016 meetings. At both meetings Police Chief Eric Wollman
appeared before the commission and answered their questions.
After the October TSPC meeting and based on the discussion by the commission, it became
evident that this option would require significant staffing resources and create logistical issues to
manage a permit program. These concerns included the number of permits issued, potential cost
to students, permit abuse, and whether the school or the City should issue the permits.
In order to more effectively address the problem, both Police and Public Works staff believe that
changing the on-street parking restriction to 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. would address the needs
expressed by the students and school staff while being consistent and fair in terms of enforcing
the parking restrictions. Additionally, this restriction would also be applied to the east side of
Carolan Avenue to simplify the restriction limits for both the public and the enforcement staff. At
the November 10, 2016 meeting, the TSPC discussed the matter for the second time and
unanimously supported the recommendation to the City Council.
Based on engineering analysis, public input, and recommendation from the TSPC, staff is
requesting that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance to revise the two-hour parking
restriction along Carolan Avenue. The proposed change would allow the students to continue to
park on-street during school session and after school activities without fear of getting a parking
citation, while acting as a deterrent for employees and commuters trying to park along this section
of Carolan Avenue. After the implementation, staff will continue monitoring the parking
conditions, and may propose additional changes as deemed necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be minimal costs associated with making and installing parking restriction signage,
which will be absorbed within the Public Works Department’s operation budget.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA NO:
MEETING DATE: October 13, 2016
To: Traffic Safety & Parking Commission
Date: October 13, 2016
From: Eric Wollman, Chief of Police – (650) 777-4123
Subject: Item 6.b - Consideration of Adding Carolan Avenue to the Residential Permit
Parking Program
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Traffic Safety and Parking Commission review the existing parking
situation on Carolan Avenue between North Lane and Oak Grove, and concur with the staff’s
recommendation to add this area to the City’s Residential Parking Permit Program.
BACKGROUND
Presently, Carolan Avenue between North Lane and Oak Grove has 2 hour parking limit on the
west side of the street. The east side of the street that fronts Burlingame High School has no
restricted parking. Historically Burlingame High School students have parked on the east side of
Carolan free from restrictions. This works out well for students and affords them worry free
parking for their entire school day.
The west side of the street has a 2 hour parking restriction. The purpose of this 2 hour restriction
is to discourage Caltrain riders, downtown employees and people going to the airport from
parking for long periods of time on this public street. Students also use this 2 hour zone to park
during the school day. There are approximately 60 parking spaces on the west side of the street,
and 40 on the east. It is very evident that most are used by students. The police department has
managed the student’s parking needs, but it has recently come to the department’s attention that
the current practice of enforcement is not completely consistent with the signage posted for the
area. When the police parking enforcement officers do enforce the 2 hour limit, this enforcement
has a major impact on the student’s, due to their inability to move their cars during school.
DISCUSSION
The enforcement of the 2 hours zones on the west side of Carolan is causing students to receive
citations and is taking away parking spaces for the school students. To assist the school
community in their parking needs, I am recommending that this area be considered for addition to
the City’s Residential Parking Permit Program. To accomplish this request, 2 hour parking signs
would be added to the east side of the street, and approximately 100 residential parking permits
would be made available to the students of Burlingame High School. The students would be able
to park on either side of Carolan for the entire school day, and the police department would

continue to enforce the 2 hour zones consistently throughout the day for other citizens needing to
park and visit local businesses. The majority of this parking is needed for students. If the police
continue to enforce the 2 hour zone in this area it will force students to find parking in the
neighborhoods surrounding the school, which will bring over 100 additional vehicles into the
neighborhoods. Since, the only property affected by the proposal is the Burlingame High School,
hence it meets the requirements of two third majority support from property owners on the
affected street. Staff has had initial discussions with the High School officials who have indicated
strong support for the proposed approach.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be staff time involved in selling the permits, and the cost of adding additional 2 hour
parking signs to the east side of Carolan, which can be absorbed in the both Police and Public
Works Department’s operations budgets. The cost of an annual parking permit is $53.00.

Traffic Safety and Parking Commission
November 10, 2016
BACKGROUND
At the October 13,TSPC meeting,Chief Wollman reported on a parking issue
along the west side of Carolan Avenue.
Staff proposed an option for the students to purchase a permit which would
allow them to park along Carolan beyond the 2-hour restriction.
The Commission discussed the benefits and drawbacks of such a restriction,
while also taking in public comment.
Charging students for the permits
Number of permits to be issued
Who would administer permits?
Abuse of permits
Students on campus for extended amount of time
Preference for students who live further away
Staff reviewed the Commissioner’s concerns and public comments to refine and
revise the proposal.
In addition to the proposal,staff will share observations and data collection
efforts with the TSPC.
DISCUSSION
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Carolan Avenue (west side):2-hour parking restriction,from Oak Grove to North Lane.
Carolan Avenue (east side):No parking restrictions along Burlingame High School Frontage.
Burlingame High School’s on-site parking capacity:177 parking spaces
BHS’s 2016 enrollment:1,421 students,696 Seniors and Juniors.
BHS students utilize the school’s on-site parking,as well as on-street parking (Carolan and Oak Grove),and the Aquatic
Center’s parking lot.

DISCUSSION
CAROLAN ON-STREET PARKING (SURVEY OBSERVATIONS)
Based on measured length,there is space for about 50 on-street parking spaces on the
east side of Carolan.In the morning there were about 45 vehicles parked.
On the west side,there is space for about 70 parking spaces.In the morning there were
about 56 vehicles parked
During the afternoon,about 75%of the vehicles remained from the morning period on
both sides of the street.
During the evening on east side of Carolan,it was determined that about 10%(5 vehicles)
of vehicles parked were long-term,with 5%(3 vehicles)along the west side.
Staff recommends including and revising the two-hour parking restriction on both the east
and west sides of Carolan respectively.The restricted hours would be from 2 P.M.to 6
P.M.,Monday through Friday.This proposal would eliminate the Commission’s concerns
regarding a new permit program,discourage long-term parking by employees and
commuters,and allow BPD to enforce without bias.Staff would review the possibility of
striping parking spaces to increase/maintain capacity.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AMENDING THE CITY’S GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP TO DESIGNATE THE
EASTERLY 50-FEET OF LOT 6, BLOCK 13, SUPPLEMENTARY MAP NO. 1 OF THE
TOWN OF BURLINGAME AND THE EASTERLY TEN-FEET OF ASSESSOR’S
PARCEL 029-242-230 (THE EASTERLY 60-FEET, EXCEPTING THEREFROM THE
EASTERLY 50-FEET, OF LOT 6, BLOCK 13, SUPPLEMENTARY MAP NO. 1 OF THE
TOWN OF BURLINGAME) FROM R-4 INCENTIVE DISTRICT TO CALIFORNIA DRIVE
MIXED USE DISTRICT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME hereby finds as follows:
Section 1. The change is consistent with the policies of the General Plan and in
particular the Land Use Element of the General Plan in that the proposal includes changing the
land use designation of a portion of the property that currently contains no structures and is
currently being used to store vehicles associated with the automobile dealership (Assessor’s
Parcel 029-242-020 and a portion of 029-242-230) from the R-4 Incentive District to the
California Drive Mixed Use District within the Downtown Specific Plan, which will bring the entire
combined site into one designation and would be consistent with the adjacent California Drive
Mixed Use District general plan designation;
Section 2. The change in land use designation will not alter the land use patterns in
the area since the area is currently being used to store vehicles and is an extension of the
existing California Drive Mixed Use District;
Section 3. The City of Burlingame General Plan indicates that this designation
consists of the Auto Row area along California Drive between Burlingame and Peninsula
Avenues dominated by automobile-related uses, and that auto showrooms, hotel, or retail uses
are permitted on the ground floor, that automobile dealerships and services facilities are an
important part of the City’s economy, and that the proposed service facility will continue to
provide a needed service for the community, and therefore the proposed automobile service
facility would be consistent with the California Drive Mixed Use District general plan designation;
and
Section 4. Following a duly noticed public hearing on January 3, 2017, the City
Council considered the Planning Commission’s December 12, 2016 recommendation in support
of amending the City’s General Plan Land Use Map to designate the Easterly 50-Feet of Lot 6,
Block 13, Supplementary Map No. 1 of the Town Of Burlingame and the Easterly Ten-Feet of
Assessor’s Parcel 029-242-230 (the Easterly 60-Feet, Excepting Therefrom The Easterly 50-

native bird species potentially nesting near the site (typically February through August in
the project region), a pre-construction survey for nesting birds shall be conducted by a
qualified biologist within two weeks of the commencement of construction activities.
If active nests are found in areas that could be directly affected or are within 150 feet of
construction and would be subject to prolonged construction-related noise, a no-
disturbance buffer zone shall be created around active nests during the breeding season
or until a qualified biologist determines that all young have fledged. The size of the buffer
zones and types of construction activities restricted within them will be determined by
taking into account factors such as the following:
Noise and human disturbance levels at the construction site at the time of the survey
and the noise and disturbance expected during the construction activity;
Distance and amount of vegetation or other screening between the construction site
and the nest; and
Sensitivity of individual nesting species and behaviors of the nesting birds.
RESOLUTION NO.

Biological Resources
24. Prior to the removal of any trees, the project applicant shall evaluate if the on-site trees
meet the requirement to be considered a “protected” tree. A permit shall be obtained
from the Parks and Recreation Department prior to the removal of a protected tree.
Cultural Resources
25. In the event archaeological resources are encountered during construction, work shall
be halted within 100 feet of the discovered materials and workers shall avoid altering the
materials and their context until a qualified professional archaeologist has evaluated the
situation and provided appropriate recommendations.
If an archaeological site is encountered in any stage of development, a qualified
archeologist will be consulted to determine whether the resource qualifies as an
historical resource or a unique archaeological resource. In the event that it does qualify,
the archaeologist will prepare a research design and archaeological data recovery plan
to be implemented prior to or during site construction. The archaeologist shall also
prepare a written report of the finding, file it with the appropriate agency, and arrange for
curation of recovered materials.
26. A discovery of a paleontological specimen during any phase of the project shall result in
a work stoppage in the vicinity of the find until it can be evaluated by a professional
paleontologist. Should loss or damage be detected, additional protective measures or
further action (e.g., resource removal), as determined by a professional paleontologist,
shall be implemented to mitigate the impact.
27. In the event that human remains are discovered during project construction, there shall
be no further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably
suspected to overlie adjacent human remains. The county coroner shall be informed to
evaluate the nature of the remains. If the remains are determined to be of Native
American origin, the Lead Agency shall work with the Native American Heritage
Commission and the applicant to develop an agreement for treating or disposing of the
human remains.
Geology and Soils
28. Project design and construction shall adhere to Title 18, Chapter 18.28 of the
Burlingame Municipal Code, and demonstrate compliance with all design standards
applicable to the California Building Code Zone 4 would ensure maximum practicable
protection available to users of the buildings and associated infrastructure.
29. Project design and construction, including excavation activities, shall comply with
Chapter 33 of the CBC, which specifies the safety requirement to be fulfilled for site
work. This would include prevention of subsidence and pavement or foundations caused
by dewatering.
RESOLUTION NO.
7
30. The applicant shall prepare a monitoring program to determine the effects of
construction on nearby improvements, including the monitoring of cracking and vertical
movement of adjacent structures, and nearby streets, sidewalks, utilities, and other
improvements. As necessary, inclinometers or other instrumentation shall be installed as
part of the shoring system to closely monitor lateral movement. The program shall
include a pre-condition survey including photographs and installation of monitoring
points for existing site improvements.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
31. The contractor shall comply with Title 8, California Code of Regulations/Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements that cover construction work
where an employee may be exposed to lead. This includes the proper removal and
disposal of peeling paint, and appropriate sampling of painted building surfaces for lead
prior to disturbance of the paint and disposal of the paint or painted materials.
32. The applicant shall contract a Certified Asbestos Consultant to conduct an asbestos
survey prior to disturbing potential asbestos containing building materials and following
the Consultant’s recommendations for proper handling and disposal.
33. Workers handling demolition and renovation activities at the project site will be trained in
the safe handling and disposal of any containments with which they are handling or
disposing of on the project site.
Noise
34. The following measures, in addition to the best practices specified in Impact 3, shall be
implemented to reduce vibration impacts from construction activities to a less-than-
significant level:
For all construction proposed to be located within 20 feet of adjacent structures, a
construction vibration-monitoring plan would need to be implemented to document
conditions prior to, during and after vibration generating construction activities. All
plan tasks shall be undertaken under the direction of a licensed Professional
Structural Engineer in the State of California and be in accordance with industry
accepted standard methods. The construction vibration monitoring plan should be
implemented to include the following tasks:
- Perform a photo survey, elevation survey, and crack monitoring survey for each
identified structure. Surveys shall be performed prior to any construction activity
and after project completion and shall include internal and external crack
monitoring in structures, settlement, and distress and shall document the
condition of foundations, walls and other structural elements in the interior and
exterior of said structures.
- Designate a person responsible for registering and investigating claims of
excessive vibration. The contact information of such person shall be clearly
posted on the construction site.
- Make appropriate repairs or compensation where damage has occurred as a
result of construction activities.
RESOLUTION NO.
8
- The results of all vibration monitoring shall be summarized and submitted in a
report shortly after substantial completion of each phase identified in the project
schedule. The report will include a description of measurement methods,
equipment used, calibration certificates, and graphics as required to clearly
identify vibration-monitoring locations. An explanation of all events that exceeded
vibration limits will be included together with proper documentation supporting
any such claims.
Transportation and Traffic
35. Prior to issuance of grading and building permits, the project applicant shall submit a
Traffic Control Plan. The Traffic Control Plan would indicate how par king for construction
workers would be provided during construction and ensure a safe flow of traffic in the
project area during construction. The requirements within the Traffic Control Plan
include, but are not limited to, the following: truck drivers would be notified of and
required to use the most direct route between the site and U.S. 101, as determined by
the City Engineering Department; all site ingress and egress would occur only at the
main driveways to the project site; specifically designated travel routes for large vehicles
would be monitored and controlled by flaggers for large construction vehicle ingress and
egress; warning signs indicating frequent truck entry and exit would be posted on
adjacent roadways if requested; and any debris and mud on nearby streets caused by
trucks would be monitored daily and may require instituting a street cleaning program.
36. On-street parking to the east and west of the outbound driveways on Bayswater Avenue
shall be prohibited by painting red curb for a distance of approximately 20 feet on either
side.

MEETING DATE: January 17, 2017
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: January 17, 2017
From: Lisa K. Goldman, City Manager – (650) 558-7243
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Committing the City to Continue Working with
Other Jurisdictions in the County to Address the Housing Crisis on a
Regional Basis, Including through Ongoing Support of the Home for All
San Mateo County Initiative
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution committing the City to
continue working with other jurisdictions in the County to address the housing crisis on a regional
basis, including through ongoing support of the Home for All San Mateo County Initiative.
BACKGROUND
In September 2015, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors convened a task force of
community leaders to identify regional housing issues, bring community leaders together to share
the challenges created by the current housing market, learn about possible solutions, and work
together to develop an action plan to preserve and increase housing at all income levels. The
Jobs/Housing Gap Task Force, of which the City of Burlingame is a member, includes
representatives from cities and towns, business organizations, large employers, educators,
housing developers, community-based organizations providing housing services, and labor and
community advocates. The Task Force met eight times, starting in September of 2015 and
concluding June 23, 2016.
DISCUSSION
The Task Force members generated many ideas for closing the jobs/housing gap. Those ideas
were compiled and organized around four key recommendations:
Create a regional action plan;
Establish an on-line housing resource center;
Develop and conduct a housing gap education and public relations campaign;
Develop partnerships and engage the boarder community in both discussing housing options
and developing solutions to the gap.
The Task Force also approved expanding the jobs/housing gap work countywide under the brand
“Home for All San Mateo County”.
Home for All, San Mateo County Initiative January 17, 2017
2
One of the Task Force "strides" toward closing the Jobs/Housing Gap is to have the county and
all 20 cities and towns adopt resolutions in support of the Home for All San Mateo County
Initiative. The resolution identifies regional housing problems, recognizes the purpose and work
of the Task Force, and commits each jurisdiction to continue working with other jurisdictions to
address the housing crisis on a regional basis, including through ongoing support of the Home
for All San Mateo County Initiative. The resolution does not specifically commit the City to support
any particular policies or programs, nor does it commit any specific financial resources beyond
staff and elected official participation in regional meetings, as appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME COMMITTING TO
CONTINUE WORKING WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS IN THE COUNTY TO ADDRESS THE
HOUSING CRISIS ON A REGIONAL BASIS, INCLUDING THROUGH ONGOING SUPPORT
OF THE HOME FOR ALL SAN MATEO COUNTY INITIATIVE
WHEREAS, San Mateo County is facing an historic housing crisis that has resulted in
some of the highest housing costs in the Country; and
WHEREAS, as of March 2016, the average price to purchase a single family home in
San Mateo County is over one and a half million dollars, and the average monthly rent for a two-
bedroom apartment is nearly two thousand nine hundred dollars; and
WHEREAS, between 2010 and 2014, San Mateo County added over 54,000 new jobs,
while only 2,148 new housing units were built in the County; and
WHEREAS, local government jurisdictions within the County have long collaborated to
address housing challenges on a regional basis through, for example, the 2003 creation of a
housing endowment and regional trust, known as HEART of San Mateo County, and the 2006
development of a sub-regional process for regional housing needs allocations for all 20 cities
and towns, and the unincorporated County; and
WHEREAS, building upon this regional approach to addressing housing issues, in
September 2015, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors convened a task force of
community leaders to identify housing issues, evaluate innovative tools and best practices, and
create a menu of solutions to preserve and increase housing at all income levels; and
WHEREAS, the Jobs/Housing Gap Task Force, of which the City of Burlingame is a
member, includes representatives from cities and towns, business organizations, large
employers, educators, housing developers, community-based organizations providing housing
services, and labor and community advocates; and
WHEREAS, the efforts of the Closing the Jobs-Housing Gap Task Force have resulted
in the creation of the Home for All San Mateo County Initiative that was launched in September
2016 with a housing policy resource center, a community engagement campaign, and a regional
action plan to implement a variety of strategies to produce and preserve housing at all income
levels; and
WHEREAS, the City of Burlingame is committed to continue working on housing issues
by collaborating with jurisdictions and community members to promote the strategies put forth in
the Home for All San Mateo County Initiative and support the initiative.

MEETING DATE:
January 17, 2017
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: January 17, 2017
From: William Meeker, Community Development Director – (650) 558-7255
Subject: Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) on the Implementation of the
Housing Element of the General Plan
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, accept the 2015 and 2016 Housing Element
Annual Progress Report and authorize its transmittal to the California Governor’s Office of Planning
and Research (OPR) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
BACKGROUND
California requires each jurisdiction to prepare a Housing Element as part of its General Plan in order
to ensure that all jurisdictions are planning for the projected housing demand throughout the state.
Unlike other elements of a General Plan, the Housing Element must be updated by deadlines set by
the State. The process begins with the State advising a region of its Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA), which is the estimated number of housing units that will be needed over the
planning period (usually seven years). This allocation is further subdivided among four household
income categories: very-low, low, moderate, and above moderate. Affordable housing income limits
are determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are adjusted
for family size, as detailed in the table below.
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is responsible for the public process by which this
regional allocation is apportioned to each jurisdiction within its boundaries. In addition to
demonstrating how the allocated number of units can be produced, policies in a Housing Element
must also:
address the removal of governmental barriers to housing production;
ensure the jurisdiction’s housing stock is maintained, and
ensure that housing is available to all types of persons on an equitable basis.

Housing Element Annual Progress Report January 17, 2017

DISCUSSION
The City of Burlingame’s Housing Element update was adopted in January 2015. The City is currently
starting the second year of the 2015-2023 planning period. Burlingame’s RHNA allocation for this
cycle is 863 units.
Annual Report
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that an Annual Report (“Report”) be prepared on
the status and progress of implementation of the Housing Element and submitted to the City Council,
the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year. There is no similar requirement for the
other Elements of the General Plan. Additionally, the Report has to be prepared in accordance with
the provisions set forth by HCD and on the forms provided by HCD (attached). Given that the updated
Housing Element was adopted in January 2015, the annual report for 2015 was not prepared.
Therefore, staff is catching up and providing for the City Council’s review both the 2015 and 2016
Annual Reports.
The Housing Element Annual Report includes the following information about housing production
since the start of the planning period in 2015:
Information on the types of housing units that were issued building permits (Table A & A3);
Information on the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA)(Table B); and
Progress report on implementation of Housing Element programs (Table C).
The reporting is for the number of building permits issued for construction of new dwelling units. The
count only includes net new units, not permits issued for replacement units (demolition of a unit and
reconstruction of a new unit). In summary, permits were issued for a total of five new units in
(calendar year) 2015. One unit was a new single family dwelling, and the remaining four units were
accessory dwelling units. There were permits issued for a total for 133 new units in 2016. This
included five new units added as part of a condominium development, four new accessory dwelling
units, and 124 new senior assisted living apartments units. Included in this total are ten below market
rate units that are part of the senior assisted living housing project. However, this was not required by
the zoning code, and the units are not deed restricted. Burlingame’s progress in meeting its RHNA
number of units for this housing cycle (2015-2023) is summarized as follows:
Income Level RHNA Units Constructed % of RHNA Goal
Extremely Low 138 0 0
Very Low 138 0 0
Low 144 10 6.9%
Moderate 155 0 0
Above Moderate 288 128 44.4%
Total: 863 138 14.8%
These reports are informational only, and do not change adopted policies or authorize any action or
expenditure of funds. These reports are being prepared in compliance with California Government
Code Section 65400. Once the Council has acknowledged that the Annual Reports have been
provided for review, staff will forward the reports to HCD and OPR.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Title 25 - Zoning Amendments for Accessory Dwelling Units January 17, 2017
2
BACKGROUND
On September 27, 2016, Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 2299 and SB 1069 into law. This
legislation amends Government Code Section 65852.2, the regulations for accessory dwelling
units (ADUs, currently referred to as secondary dwelling units in the Burlingame Municipal Code).
The amendments are intended to streamline housing production in the face of the State’s ongoing
housing crisis by making it easier for property owners to construct an ADU associated with a
single family dwelling. In addition, the legislation requires that such units now be referred to as
accessory dwelling units.
The revisions to State Law became effective on January 1, 2017. Local jurisdictions are required
to comply with the new requirements, which supersede local ordinances. In addition, jurisdictions
are required to provide a copy of the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance to the State Department
of Housing and Community Development (HCD) within 60 days of adoption. At its meeting of
December 12, 2016, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments to the
Burlingame Zoning Regulations and recommended that the City Council adopt the changes as
proposed.
DISCUSSION
The attached draft ordinance sets forth text amendments to the City’s existing secondary dwelling
unit regulations (now to be referred to as accessory dwelling units) to ensure that the Burlingame
Municipal Code is consistent with the new State regulations. A summary of the most significant
changes includes:
Parking – Parking requirements are waived for ADUs that are:
within 1/2 mile of a major transit stop, as defined in California Public Resources
Code § 21064.31 or included in the regional transportation plan;
located within a designated historic district;
part of the existing main residence or an existing residential accessory structure
intended for human habitation;
located within one block of a car share vehicle; or
when on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the
accessory dwelling unit.
Occupancy - No occupancy restriction on number of residents (previously no more than
two people were allowed in an ADU)
Ministerial approval/denial within 120 days
1 CA Government Code Section 21064.3. "Major transit stop" means a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by
either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less
during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.
Title 25 - Zoning Amendments for Accessory Dwelling Units January 17, 2017
3
Revise terminology to refer to “Accessory Dwelling Units” (previously identified as
“secondary dwelling units”)
Pursuant to the Burlingame Zoning Regulations, the square footage for an ADU is still counted
toward the lot coverage and floor area allowed for the subject property by the underlying zoning
district. For example, the 40% lot coverage allowed on an R-1 lot would include both the main
single family dwelling and an ADU.
The parking exemption for ADUs created as part of the existing main residence or an existing
residential accessory structure is based on the principle that the square footage has already been
counted as living space (in terms of parking), and the conversion of this space to an ADU is not
significantly increasing (or increasing at all) the parking requirement for the use of the property as
a whole. An example would be the conversion of a master bedroom or family room of a dwelling
into an ADU, or the conversion of an accessory structure previously approved for accessory living
space, such as a detached recreation room or guest house. To prevent the possibility of an
application for an accessory living space being approved and in succession becoming an
application for an ADU, the ordinance includes a provision that accessory dwelling units must be
constructed within the existing building envelope or existing and authorized accessory structures
as they existed three years prior to application.
State ADU regulations are located in Section 65852.2 of the California Government Code.
Burlingame’s regulations for secondary dwelling units are currently located in Chapter 25.59.
There are several other sections that address secondary units that require updating for
consistency including:
Chapter 25.08 - Definitions
Chapter 25.26 - R-1 District regulations
Chapter 25.50 - Non-conforming uses
Chapter 25.59 - Secondary dwelling unit regulations
Chapter 25.60 - Accessory structure regulations
Chapter 25.70 - Off-street parking regulations
Other changes other than those affecting the local Zoning Regulations include:
Fire Sprinklers: In addition to the changes detailed above, other changes in State law have
implications for building, fire and utilities standards. The State regulations now state that fire
sprinklers cannot be required for an ADU if they are not also required for the primary residence.
After consultation with the Fire Marshal, it was determined that Title 18 (Building Construction –
Residential Code) will need to be amended to bring it into conformity with State law requirements
for accessory dwelling units. For attached units, fire sprinklers are only required if the total area of
disturbance within the single family dwelling (including the unit) totals more than 750 square feet.
This applies to additions of 750 square feet or more over a two-year period. Detached ADUs are
not required to have fire sprinklers unless the furthest point of the structure is more than 400 feet
from the nearest hydrant. In such cases, fire sprinklers would be required in the detached
accessory dwelling unit or a private hydrant could be installed on the property. Amendments to
Title 18 will be presented to the City Council at the February 6, 2017 meeting.
Title 25 - Zoning Amendments for Accessory Dwelling Units January 17, 2017
4
Utilities: With regard to utilities, the State regulations state that ADUs shall not be considered
new residential uses for the purposes of calculating local agency connection fees or capacity
charges for utilities, including water and sewer service. However, for ADUs that are not located
within an existing structure (new detached accessory structures or square footage added to a
single family dwelling), jurisdictions may require a new or separate utility connection for the
accessory dwelling unit. The City’s current regulations with regard to utilities for ADUs comply
with the State standards.
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units: In addition to the adoption of AB 2299 and SB 1069, part of
the changes to Government Code Section 6582.2 include new language resulting from the
adoption of AB 2406, which enables jurisdictions to adopt standards related to junior accessory
dwelling units. A junior second unit involves converting a portion of an existing single family
residence into an ADU as a way of providing smaller housing units. An example would be
converting an existing bedroom and making it a separate unit by incorporating a small wet -bar
kitchen and an exterior entrance. Junior second units are generally smaller in size than an
accessory dwelling unit, up to 500 square feet. Such units maintain an internal connection to the
remainder of the single family dwelling so that the space can be flexible over time, including the
possibility of reverting back to a larger single family dwelling.
HCD does recognize junior accessory dwelling units as housing units in terms of jurisdictions
meeting their RHNA (Regional Housing Need Allocation) numbers. While jurisdictions are not
required to allow junior accessory dwelling units, AB 2406 sets standards for the creation of such
units. Given that jurisdictions are not required to make provisions for junior accessory dwelling
units, the proposed code amendments for consideration in this amendment do not include
standards for junior accessory dwelling units at this time. However, if the City Council would like
to consider provisions for junior accessory dwelling units in the future, staff can return with a
separate item at a later date.
The draft ordinance is provided as an attachment to this report. Staff has also attached a
“strikeout” version of the current regulations to assist the City Council in identifying the specific
changes made to the local regulations.

area, and establishing standards for the development and occupancy of accessory units to
ensure that they are compatible with neighboring uses and structures, adequately equipped with
public utility services, safe for human occupancy, and do not create unreasonable traffic and
safety impacts.
An accessory residential unit which conforms to the requirements of this chapter shall
not be considered to exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which it is located and shall
be deemed to be a residential use which is consistent with the existing General Plan and zoning
designations for the lot.

dwelling unit permit pursuant to this chapter. Upon finding that the performance standards set
forth in Section 25.59.060 are met the proposal shall be approved ministerially without
discretionary review or public hearing and the applicant may proceed to acquire a building
permit. All accessory units are categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections15301 and

There were no ex-parte communications to support.
Community Development Director Meeker provided an overview of the staff report.
Questions of Staff:
>Requested clarification regarding the ability to place a kitchen within an accessory building and
restrictions upon the number of occupants. (Meeker - yes, kitchens may be installed within accessory
buildings to convert the structure to an accessory dwelling unit. The City cannot restrict the number of
occupants. The City is required to comply with the recently adopted State law; failure to do so, will
require the City to comply with the letter of the State law as adopted. Kane - this is a first effort to comply
with State law and may be subject to future iterations depending upon changes in State law in the
future.)
>Questioned the meaning of the reference to structures intended for human habitation and the waiver
of parking. (Meeker - clarified that in instances where the Commission has approved the
construction/conversion of an accessory structure to a game room, rumpus room or other room
designed for human habitation, the City cannot require additional parking if this space is converted to an
accessory dwelling unit as it was originally designed to be part of the use of the primary residential
structure for which parking has been provided. This passage would also cover instances where a room
within the house is converted to an accessory dwelling unit. Kane - as distinguished from a structure
designed only for storage use.)
>If there is a car-share facility within a block of an accessory dwelling unit, no parking is required?
(Meeker - yes, that is the requirement of State law. Kane - clarified that the City would interpret this to
only apply when the vehicles are accessible by the general public.)
>Could car-share spaces be created within a single -family area? (Meeker - clarified that the City
could choose to convert spaces within a public parking lot to car -share spaces which would be available .
However, in instances where these spaces are not available for use by the general public, i .e. 225
California Drive, then this exemption would not be available.)
>Were cities consulted regarding the provisions of the new State law? (Meeker/Kane - no.)
>Requested clarification regarding the parking waivers - all must apply? (Meeker - yes.)
Page 1City of Burlingame Printed on 1/6/2017
December 12, 2016Planning Commission Meeting Minutes - Draft
>When do the new standards apply? (Meeker - effective January 1, 2017. If the City receives an
application in advance of the City's local standards become effective, then strict application of the State
law is required. It is anticipated that the new local regulations would become effective in 45 to 60 days.)
>Clarified that the Commission's action will be a recommendation. Can modifications be made?
(Meeker - can only make changes that do not conflict with State law. Kane - could always be more
liberal.)
>Noted that non-substantive edits will be forwarded to staff prior to submittal to the City Council.
>Hurin - asked if parking can be required for a unit created from non -habitable space; no variances
can be considered? (Meeker - conversions of non -habitable space would require parking; a variance
from the standard cannot be requested.)
>Can tandem spaces provided be "double" tandem (more than two spaces )? (Hurin - no, only one
space behind another. Meeker - only one space behind another is permitted.)
>Is there a limit to the number of units that can be provided on a property? (Meeker - the City's
interpretation is that you can only provide one accessory dwelling unit per property. The local regulation
is specific in this regard. Kane - believes that the City's "boarding" regulations, which do not limit
occupancy, may need to be reviewed at some point as well.)
Chair Loftis opened the public hearing.
Public Comments:
Jerry Deal, J Deal and Associates - if new space is created he understands that the parking must be
provided. If something has been permitted, but not yet built, then can it be built per the approval?
(Meeker - if the approval has been granted, then it could be built as approved. Kane - will need to review
this more closely as usually "vesting" is as of issuance of a building permit.) Are buslines also included in
the radius from a transit stop for purposes of parking waivers? (Commissioner - noted that the State law
references intersecting buslines. Meeker - the City has no intersecting SAMTRANS buslines, so the
waiver does not apply.)
Chair Loftis closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
>Should the Millbrae Multi -Modal Station be considered a "transit location" for purposes of the parking
waiver? (Meeker - yes, this is appropriate.)
>Feels that there should be some reference to the length of stay in accessory dwelling units. (Kane -
the entire VRBO/Airbnb discussion is a separate discussion that needs to occur with the City Council .
The Council will be taking this issue up in the future. Waiting for current legal challenges in other
communities to be decided.)
>Noted that a ten unit condominium approved on Floribunda (but not yet built) is being marketed as
an Airbnb project; hopes that this issue is addressed sooner rather than later.
Commissioner Terrones made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Bandrapalli, to recommend
adoption of the proposed ordinance revisions by the City Council and passing along additional
comments from the Commission's discussion. Chair Loftis asked for a voice vote, and the
motion carried by the following vote:

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA NO:
MEETING DATE: January 17, 2017
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: January 17, 2017
From: Lisa Goldman, City Manager – (650) 558-7243
Margaret Glomstad, Parks and Recreation Director – (650) 558-7307
Subject: Management of the Golf Center Site
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council begin negotiations with Topgolf for the management of
the Golf Center site.
BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2016, the City Council requested that City staff issue a Request for Proposals (RFP)
for the lease management of the Golf Center site for the operation of golf or other recreational or
entertainment activities that would be open to the public (Exhibit A). The RFP indicated that the
City would not provide any financial commitment. In addition, the RFP noted
developers/operators of the site are required to provide a minimum annual guaranteed rent, and,
depending on the business model, a percentage from gross revenues. The RFP was issued on
October 12, 2016, and responses were due by November 23, 2016, at 2 pm. The City received
proposals from Mid-Peninsula Ice Rink Foundation (MIRF), US Badminton Center Group (USBC),
and Topgolf International.
A committee comprised of Councilmember Donna Colson, Parks and Recreation Commissioner
Joe Dito, City Manager Lisa Goldman, Finance Director Carol Augustine, Public Works Director
Syed Murtuza, and Parks and Recreation Director Margaret Glomstad reviewed the proposals
and recommended that all groups be invited to present their proposals in person.
On December 4, 2016, Councilmember Colson, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Dito,
Finance Director Augustine, and Parks and Recreation Director Glomstad met with each group to
learn more about their proposals and ask clarifying questions.
DISCUSSION
Mid-Peninsula Ice Rink Foundation: The MIRF proposal includes building two new indoor ice
rinks with supporting services (locker/restrooms, restaurant, pro shop and a meeting space) on
the existing parking lot, short range game area, and golf bays at the Golf Center site (Exhibit B).
The proposed design leaves a significant portion of the driving range untouched and under the

maintenance of the City. The facility would offer a variety of programming for all ages including
figure skating, hockey, broomball, curling, adaptive ice sports, leagues, and tournaments.
MIRF, which is a 501c(3) nonprofit public benefit corporation, proposes to operate the rinks in
conjunction with Sharks Ice LLC, an affiliate of the San Jose Sharks that operates ice rinks in San
Jose, Oakland, and Fremont. (No contract had been signed between MIRF and Sharks Ice LLC
as of the November 23 proposal due date.) The funds needed for the project have not been
secured yet, but MIRF anticipates financing construction through a combination of donations from
local government entities (the City of San Mateo and the County of San Mateo) and the general
public, plus a bank loan from a commercial bank. In lieu of paying fixed rent to the City of
Burlingame, as required in the RFP, MIRF proposes negotiating a profit-sharing agreement with
the various public stakeholders in which the stakeholders would receive a share of net profit after
all other expenses are paid. MIRF notes that they are open to negotiating some type of rent
payment.
US Badminton Center Group: The USBC proposal includes building a facility that would contain
20-50 badminton courts, a 10,000-20,000 sq. ft. Wellness Center, an outdoor training facility, a
food court, a pro shop, and supporting spaces. Under this proposal, 20 – 25 of the Golf Center
bays would remain for use by golfers. The facility would be built on the existing parking lot and
the short game and driving range area (Exhibit C). The facility would offer memberships and
drop-in options for a variety of badminton and health/fitness programs for all ages including yoga,
senior fitness, personal training, massage therapy, sports leagues, tournaments, and youth
camps.
The funds needed for the project will be capitalized by USBC. USBC would directly operate the
facility and proposes an annual lease payment of $80,000, plus 5% on annual revenue in excess
of $2.5 million.
Topgolf International: The Topgolf proposal includes building a 65,000 sq. ft. LEED Silver-
certified facility with 102 hitting bays, 3,000 sq. ft. of event space, a full-service restaurant and
bar, a rooftop terrace, pool tables, shuffle board, and supporting areas. The facility, which would
be built on the existing Golf Center site (Exhibit D), would offer general entertainment, food and
music, golf lessons for all ages, summer camps, tournaments, and leagues.
Topgolf would draw on its partners, line of credit, and corporate financial resources to finance the
project. Topgolf would directly operate the facility, and it proposes an annual lease payment of at
least $500,000 per year.
The option to combine more than one proposal on the site was explored. However, due to the
unique requirements of each proposal and the corresponding parking requirements, the site does
not have sufficient space to accommodate more than one of the uses described above.
In addition, all proposals may have an impact on the landfill clay cap. Any excavation on the site
and/or structural foundations will very likely impact the clay cap and the subsurface systems,
requiring mitigations and future maintenance costs for the operator.

The committee comprised of Councilmember Colson, Park and Rec. Commissioner Dito, and City
staff evaluated the proposals and presentations on the following criteria:
1. Proven and sustainable business model.
2. Community benefit and the broadest public market served.
3. Use of the Golf Center land for development with minimal impact on the remaining site.
4. Economic impact - capital investment, quality jobs, payroll, sales taxes, and transit
occupancy taxes.
5. Financial contribution to the City - lease terms, financial model viability.
6. Developer/operator financial presentation - capital structure and debt.
7. Experience developing and operating similar projects.
8. Green construction and business practices.
9. Ability to begin timely negotiations and start the planning/entitlement process.
The comparison chart (Exhibit E) contains the City’s analysis of the three proposals. Based on
the information provided, the committee recommends that Topgolf be invited to begin
negotiations with the City to operate the Golf Center site for the following reasons:
1. Topgolf is a proven, successful, and profitable brand name business with operations
around the country, and they have prior experience working with municipalities.
2. Topgolf’s programming appeals to all ages.
3. The City’s hotels are supportive of the Topgolf proposal. As they noted to the City Council
in a December 21 letter, Topgolf is their preferred choice because it, more than the other
two proposals, is what meeting planners, convention attendees, and business and leisure
travelers are seeking. They believe that Topgolf will be a “closer” in terms of business
opportunities for their hotels.
4. Topgolf has the highest capital investment for the property, and their financing model is
already in place.
5. Topgolf will maintain the landfill clay cap during the term of the lease.
6. Topgolf will provide significant recurring income to the City for the term of the lease.
7. The facility will be built to LEED Silver standards.
8. Topgolf’s proposal would involve the least amount of staff time/oversite (as opposed to
MIRF’s public/private venture).
9. The Topgolf proposal represents the least financial and development risk for the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
Whether it be through an agreement with a for-profit or not-for-profit entity, the preferred solution
for the Golf Center site would maximize use of the property and availability of recreational
activities for the broadest spectrum of the City’s residents and visitors. The committee feels the
Topgolf proposal best fulfills these attributes, while also presenting the maximum amount of
return to the City in the form of a relatively secure lease agreement. The other two proposals
provide significantly less in guaranteed income. Financial details will need to be determined as
part of the negotiation process with the chosen operator.

I. OVERVIEW
The City of Burlingame (the City) is seeking competitive proposals for the lease of
the Burlingame Golf Center site (BGC) located in Burlingame, California, for the
operation of golf or other recreational or entertainment activities that would be open to
the public. T he BGC complex is within Bayside Park, located on the westerly side of
Airport Boulevard near San Francisco Bay and south of San Francisco International
Airport (SFO). This RFP provides specif ic instructions to the prospective
Developers/Operators regarding the minimum information that must be included in any
RFP response, including formatting of responses, as well as pertinent data about the
BGC facility.
The park facility was developed in 1999 on a former waste disposal site owned by the
City of Burlingame. In addition to the BGC, the park includes a lighted soccer field,
parking shared by the adjacent DoubleTree Hotel, and a City Parks Division Corporation
Yard. The City will continue to operate the soccer field and Corporation Yard;
accommodations for the DoubleTree Hotel’s shared parking will also be required.
The current lease began in 1999 and will terminate on December 30, 2016. Current
operations include management of the driving range, pitch and put, club house
(including an independent restaurant) and parking lot. In addition to the City facilities,
hardscape, fixed appliances and infrastructure, attachment A provides a list of property
onsite that is owned by the current operator and is not available as part of the RFP.
If modifications to the site are necessary for the proposed operation of the site, the
selected Developer/Operator for the property will be responsible for seeking and
obtaining any and all required approvals from the City of Burlingame, County of San
Mateo, and any other agency with regulatory
authority over the use of the property prior to
initiating any construction activities on the site
necessary for implementation of the selected use.
Additionally, the Developer/Operator shall be
responsible for all design and capital
improvements (including securing any necessary
financing), for both the site and adjacent property,
that are required to initiate the proposed site use
modifications. This includes, and is not limited to,
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS OF THE
BURLINGAME GOLF CENTER SITE
Page 3 of 13
responsibility for all costs associated with construction of new facilities and
modifications to existing facilities, including the landfill and protective cap, and
modifications to the existing landfill monitoring systems and their ongoing maintenance.
Additionally, the project developer shall carry appropriate liability insurance for the
ongoing operation and maintenance, and reporting responsibilities associated with the
landfill in compliance with state and federal regulations . A bond sufficient to cover the
construction costs of any improvements and in a form acceptable to the City Attorney
shall be required to be submitted
and approved prior to issuance of
any City construction permits.
Based on the quality and
compatibility with City Council
objectives and competitiveness of
the proposals received in
response to this Request for
Proposal (RFP), the City will
select a successful
Developer/Operator and enter
into a lease agreement with the
selected entity. The term of the
lease will be determined by the City based on the proposals received, including the
proposed use of the premises, and the proposed capital investment in the premises.
The term of the lease may be proposed by the Developer/Operator but must be a
minimum of 15 years and will be subject to the approval of the City Council. Leases
may commence as soon as 30 days after approval by the City, expected on or about
February/March, 2017, depending on City staff workload.
Following a comprehensive evaluation of submitted proposals, staff will contact the
applicants best suited to partner with the City. The City will then conduct interviews with
the top qualified Developers/Operators and will identify the most suitable and qualified
company for the project. The City may elect to negotiate with the Developers/Operators
found by the interview panel to offer the best proposals according to the RFP’s criteria.
The City Council, at its sole discretion, will choose the Developers/Operator(s) that it
determines will provide the best service to the City and the community, balanced with
financial return to the City, and will then begin negotiations to enter into a lease. The
submission of a proposal by any Developer/Operator does not in any way commit the
City to enter into a lease with that Developer/Operator, or any other
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS OF THE
BURLINGAME GOLF CENTER SITE
Page 4 of 13
Developer/Operator. The City will enter into negotiations with the Developer/Operator
that it deems the best able to provide and fund a golf range, facility operations, and
improvements, or other recreational or entertainment activities, within the first two (2)
years of the lease. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to
advertise for new proposals.
Interested parties may obtain a copy of the RFP from the City website at
www.burlingame.org, request a copy by email by contacting Margaret Glomstad at
mglomstad@burlingame.org, or request the RFP by mail at: Burlingame Recreation
Center, 850 Burlingame Ave, CA 94010, Attention: Margaret Glomstad.
II. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND
The City of Burlingame is situated within central San Mateo County and is bounded by
Millbrae to the north, Hillsborough to the west, San Mateo to the south, and San
Francisco Bay to the east. Occupying roughly 5.5 square miles of land area,
Burlingame’s population is approximately 28,000. Regional access to the community is
provided via U.S. Highway 101, which runs north-south through the eastern portion of
the city; State Highway 82/El Camino Real, which runs north -south through the central
portion of the city; and Interstate Highway 280, which runs along the western border of
the city.
The community boasts a healthy, balanced economy; over 22,000 jobs are present
within the city and across multiple sectors. The city’s residential property values are
high, with a median sale price of over $1 million for residential units. The residential
population is split fairly equally between owners and renters, with a slight predominance
of renters at 52%. The residential community of Hillsborough lies to the west of
Burlingame; Downtown Burlingame serves as the primary commercial district serving
this community as well.
Three primary commercial areas exist within the
city: Burlingame Plaza shopping center, located
adjacent to El Camino Real near the boundary
with Millbrae; the Broadway commercial district,
which provides a balance of local-serving
businesses in the central part of the city; and
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS OF THE
BURLINGAME GOLF CENTER SITE
Page 5 of 13
Downtown Burlingame, situated within the southerly portion of the city.
Light-industrial uses are centered around Rollins Road, north of Broadway and west of
Highway 101, just a short distance south of the Millbrae BART intermodal facility on
Millbrae Avenue, adjacent to the northern portion of Burlingame. Office and additional
light-industrial uses lie east of Highway 101 and west of Bayshore Highway, north of
Broadway in the city’s Bayfront area.
The city’s proximity to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has led to the
development of 12 major hotels along the city’s waterfront, with a total of over 3,700
hotel rooms.
Transit facilities within Burlingame include
Caltrain, which provides service at the historic
Burlingame Train Station located adjacent to
Downtown Burlingame, near the intersection of
Burlingame Avenue and California Drive; bus
service provided by the San Mateo County
Transit District (SAMTRANS), and proximity to
the Millbrae BART intermodal facility located near
Millbrae Avenue and Rollins Road.
The city is also home to a newly built, modern medical facility. Mills-Peninsula Medical
Center is situated near the intersection of Trousdale Drive and El Camino Real in the
northern portion of the community.
III. FACILITY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
T he land area, building square footage, and range characteristics listed below and
elsewhere in this RFP are approximate and should be used as a general guide only.
T he true dimensions of the site must be field check ed by potential
Developers/Operators.
Location

County, in the southeastern portion of Burlingame.

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS OF THE
BURLINGAME GOLF CENTER SITE
Page 6 of 13
Golf Center Facilities
BGC is an approximately 12.3-acre site in the southeastern portion of the now closed
Burlingame landfill, a greater land reclamation/redevelopment project of 30+ acres.
Because of certain site management
issues (i.e. ground stability and settling,
gas emission, groundwater monitoring,
safety and security) BGC will be a
controlled access facility. Design features
such as perimeter fencing netting, and
hitting stall layout, and operational
procedures such as gate security and
customer traffic control, seek to keep golf
balls in and unwanted visitors off the
premises. Certain portions of the premises
and all of the surrounding grounds are and will continue to be maintained by the City.
BGC facilities include the following:
A driving range with two oversized concrete-padded stalls for instruction; 45
stalls (32 covered) with lights for night use
A 10 acre, 265 x 175 yard artificial surface landing area lighted for night use
A 1.5 acre short game practice area covered with natural grass, which includes
chipping area, sand bunker and green, and two (2) putting greens lighted for
night use
Clubhouse building (approximately 4,200 square feet) with short order
food/beverage facilities, pro shop, administrative offices and other support space
12,000 square feet of concrete patio (2,000 feet covered) adjacent to the
Clubhouse for outdoor food and beverage service and special event support
(current lessees: Gabriel and Daniel’s Restaurant)
A secure ½ acre maintenance yard for outdoor material storage, a wash down
area, and an 800 square foot maintenance/storage building with covered parking
for two (2) operator vehicles
Non-exclusive access to 100+ paved, landscaped and lighted parking spaces

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA NO:
MEETING DATE: January 17, 2017
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: January 17, 2017
From: Meaghan Hassel-Shearer, City Clerk – (650) 558-7203
Subject: Informational Report on SB 415, the “California Voter Participation Rights
Act”
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive this informational report on SB 415, the
“California Voter Participation Rights Act,” and provide direction to staff on the next steps to be
taken.
BACKGROUND
On September 1, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law SB 415, the “California Voter
Participation Rights Act.” The legislation proposes to address declining voter turnout and voter
fatigue by coordinating local elections with even-year state elections.
SB 415 amended the California Elections Code (sections 14050-14057) to:
“prohibit a political subdivision [municipality, school or special district], as defined, from
holding an election other than on a statewide election date if holding an election on a
nonconcurrent date has previously resulted in a significant decrease in voter turnout.”
A significant decrease in voter turnout is defined as:
“if the voter turnout for a regularly scheduled election in a political subdivision is at least
25 percent less than the average voter turnout within that political subdivision for the
previous four statewide general elections.”
Pursuant to SB 415, Burlingame must move its Council elections to an even-year cycle if voter
turnout during the City’s Council elections (municipal elections) is more than 25% below the City’s
voter turnout during the past four statewide general elections.
The table below shows the voter turnout percentages in the past four statewide general elections.

Statewide General
Election Year
Registration Voter Turnout Turnout Percentage
2016 17,612 15,002 85.2%
2014 15,695 5,232 33.3%
2012 16,045 13,344 83.2%
2010 15,372 5,472 35.6%
The average voter turnout in the past four statewide general elections for Burlingame is 59.3%.
If voter turnout during Burlingame’s municipal elections is less than 44.5%, which is 25% less
than the average turnout rate, then the City must move its elections to an even-year cycle.
The table below shows the voter turnout percentages in the past four municipal elections.
Burlingame General
Election Year
Registration Voter Turnout Turnout Percentage
2015 15,702 5,948 37.9%
2013 15,857 5,114 32.3%
2011 14,756 6,099 41.3%
2009 15,295 5,188 33.9%
None of the past four municipal elections had a voter turnout rate that was above the required
44.5%. Therefore, Burlingame must comply with SB 415 and implement changes to coordinate
its election cycle with the statewide even-year cycle.
SB 415 gives jurisdictions until January 1, 2018, to adopt a plan to consolidate future elections
with statewide elections.
At the December 5, 2016 City Council meeting, staff discussed the above findings. At that time,
the City Council requested more time to review the legislation and options. In addition, the City
Council asked staff to track the progress of other San Mateo County municipalities in
consolidating their elections with statewide elections and the potential cost of holding an election
in 2017.
DISCUSSION
Staff has identified the following options for the City Council to review in determining how it
wishes to comply with SB 415.
Option 1: Extend all Council terms by a year. By doing this, the three seats that would be
elected in November 2017 would be elected in November 2018, while the two
seats that would be elected in November 2019 would be elected in November
2020.
Informational Report on SB 415 January 17, 2017

Option 2: Decrease all Council terms by a year. By doing this, the three seats that would be
elected in November 2017 would be elected for three years (ending November
2020), while the two seats that would be elected in November 2019 would be
elected in November 2018.
Option 3: Extend all Council terms by a year but wait until an election year. By doing this,
the three seats that would be elected in November 2017 would be for five years
(placing their next election in November 2022), and the two seats that would be
elected in November 2019 would be for five years (placing their next election in
November 2024).
Option 4: Decrease all Council terms by a year but wait until an election year. By doing this,
the three seats that would be elected in November 2017 would be for three years
(placing their next election in November 2020) and the two seats that would be
elected in November 2019 would be for three years (placing their next election in
November 2022).
Option 5: Extend all Council terms by seven months. By doing this, the three seats that
would be elected in November 2017 would be elected in June 2018, and the two
seats that would be elected in November 2019 would be elected in June 2020.
Option 6: Combinations of the above. The three seats that would be elected in November
2017 could be for five years, and the two seats that would be elected in November
2019 could have extended or decreased terms.
Staff reviewed the actions that the municipalities and districts in San Mateo County affected by
SB 415 took to consolidate their elections with the even-year cycle.
Of the 12 municipalities affected, Belmont, Foster City, Millbrae, Portola Valley, South San
Francisco and Woodside have chosen Option 1 (extending members’ terms by 12 months). Nine
school districts, including the San Mateo Union High School District, and two special districts also
chose Option 1. The Burlingame School District has not yet scheduled an SB 415 discussion for
their board.
San Carlos and Redwood City will be discussing the item on January 23, and San Bruno will
discuss it on January 24.
Although the City of Brisbane has not adopted an ordinance, they did discuss the matter at their
January 5, 2017 meeting and voted in favor of Option 5. Statewide elections in June are
traditionally used for primary contests in Federal, State and County offices. But the June
statewide election date is also used for school district measures and Central Committee contests.
Burlingame’s average voter turnout for the past four June statewide elections is 40.38%.
A few jurisdictions will be having November 2017 elections. The City of San Mateo is placing a
charter amendment on the November 2017 ballot which would extend the terms of sitting
officeholders by a year. The Portola Valley School District and the San Mateo Foster City School
Informational Report on SB 415 January 17, 2017

District chose Option 4, and therefore will be holding elections in November 2017 and November
2019 for three-year terms. The San Carlos School District chose Option 3 and therefore will be
holding elections in November 2017 and November 2019 for five-year terms.
If Burlingame chooses to hold elections in November 2017 and/or November 2019, the City will
be able to share some of the election expenses with at least three other jurisdictions.
Once Council determines which option to utilize, staff will introduce an ordinance to amend
Ordinance 1219, which consolidated City municipal elections with the Burlingame School
District’s odd-year election cycle. After adoption, SB 415 requires the City to obtain approval
from the County Board of Supervisors. Within 30 days of receiving the Board’s approval, the City
Clerk will send out a notice to all Burlingame registered voters informing them of the change in
the general municipal election date and elected officials’ terms affected by the ordinance.
Staff asks Council to determine how it wishes to proceed so that an ordinance can be brought for
its consideration as appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT
A review of the past municipal elections shows that the 2013 election cost the City $28,124, and
the 2015 All-Mailed Ballot Election cost the City $22,189.
It is not yet known what the fiscal impact will be when the Council consolidates its elections to an
even-year cycle. However, it can be predicted that the more jurisdictions sharing the costs of an
election, the more savings the City will see.
Likewise, if the Council holds an election in November, 2017, it will be more expensive than in
years past because fewer jurisdictions will be sharing in the cost. This cost will increase if the
Council has not implemented a change by the November 2019 election as, again, there will be
fewer jurisdictions sharing the cost.
In determining an estimate for holding an election in November, 2017, staff requested information
from the Elections Office on what the Coastside Fire Protection District Recall Election in 2013
cost the District. The Coastside Fire Protection District has 14,323 registered voters, and the
District’s measure/candidate contests were the only issues on the ballot. The cost was $167,869.
The City should expect a similar cost to hold an election in November, 2017.
In addition, AB 2028, which allowed San Mateo County to conduct all-mailed ballot elections,
could be utilized. If the Elections Office and all jurisdictions that are planning to hold elections in
November, 2017 agree, then the election could be held as an all-mailed ballot election. This
would decrease election costs, while still providing a polling place to voters in Burlingame.

CHAPTER 235
An act to add Chapter 1.7 (commencing with Section 14050) to Division 14 of the Elections Code,
relating to elections.
[ Approved by Governor September 01, 2015. Filed with Secretary of State
September 01, 2015. ]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSELʹS DIGEST
SB 415, Hueso. Voter participation.
Existing law generally requires all state, county, municipal, district, and school district elections be held on an
established election date. Existing law also establishes certain dates for statewide elections. Existing law
requires any state, county, municipal, district, and school district election held on a statewide election date to
be consolidated with a statewide election, except as provided.
This bill, commencing January 1, 2018, would prohibit a political subdivision, as defined, from holding an
election other than on a statewide election date if holding an election on a nonconcurrent date has previously
resulted in voter turnout for a regularly scheduled election in that political subdivision being at least 25% less
than the average voter turnout within the political subdivision for the previous 4 statewide general elections,
except as specified.
This bill would require a court to implement appropriate remedies upon a violation of this prohibition. The bill
would authorize a voter who resides in a political subdivision where a violation is alleged to file an action in
superior court to enforce this prohibition, and it would allow a prevailing plaintiff other than the state or political
subdivision to collect a reasonable attorney’s fee and litigation expenses, as provided.
Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: no Local Program: no
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 1.7 (commencing with Section 14050) is added to Division 14 of the Elections Code, to

https://leginfo.legislatur e.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB415 2/2
(b) “Significant decrease in voter turnout” means the voter turnout for a regularly scheduled election in a
political subdivision is at least 25 percent less than the average voter turnout within that political subdivision
for the previous four statewide general elections.
(c) “Voter turnout” means the percentage of voters who are eligible to cast ballots within a given political
subdivision who voted.
14052. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), a political subdivision shall not hold an election other than on a
statewide election date if holding an election on a nonconcurrent date has previously resulted in a significant
decrease in voter turnout.
(b) A political subdivision may hold an election other than on a statewide election date if, by January 1, 2018,
the political subdivision has adopted a plan to consolidate a future election with a statewide election not later
than the November 8, 2022, statewide general election.
14053. Upon a finding of a violation of subdivision (a) of Section 14052, the court shall implement appropriate
remedies, including the imposition of concurrent election dates for future elections and the upgrade of voting
equipment or systems to do so. In imposing remedies pursuant to this section, a court may also require a
county board of supervisors to approve consolidation pursuant to Section 10402.5.
14054. In an action to enforce subdivision (a) of Section 14052, the court shall allow the prevailing plaintiff
other than the state or political subdivision of the state, a reasonable attorney’s fee consistent with the
standards established in Serrano v. Priest (1977) 20 Cal.3d 25, 4849, and litigation expenses including, but not
limited to, expert witness fees and expenses as part of the costs. A prevailing defendant shall not recover any
costs, unless the court finds the action to be frivolous, unreasonable, or without foundation.
14055. A voter who resides in a political subdivision where a violation of subdivision (a) of Section 14052 is
alleged may file an action pursuant to that section in the superior court of the county in which the political
subdivision is located.
14056. This chapter does not apply to special elections.
14057. This chapter shall become operative on January 1, 2018.
