Mayor Brownrigg read from a proclamation honoring Charles Voltz. He explained that Mr. Voltz has
consistently fought to preserve what is special about Burlingame, while acknowledging and allowing for
progress and smart growth. Mr. Voltz co-founded the Washington Park Society in 2001 to galvanize public
concem about a Recreation Center proposal that could have led to the demolition of the historic Lions Hall.

Safeway building. He stated that this was a tremendous victory for the City and led to the creation of the
"Burlingame Process."
Mayor Brownrigg stated that Mr. Yoltz co-founded the Community Coalition on High Speed Rail, the
primary citrzen oversight group in Northern California. He explained that their work led directly to a
legislative solution that requires high speed rail to be at-grade unless the community signs on.
Mayor Brownrigg stated that Mr. Voltz's excellent legal mind and training provided crucial and cogent legal
arguments to all the work he took on, including his brief to the California Supreme Court on Federal pre-
emption. He noted Mr. Voltz's inquisitiveness, advocacy, and strong support of the City's efforts to improve
the quality of life for all Burlingame residents.
Councilmember Keighran discussed working through the years with Mr. Voltz on various projects including
the original re-design of the Recreation Center and the Safeway project. She highlighted Mr. Voltz's ability
to listen to all opinions and his thoughtful approach to problems. She explained that the City was indebted to
Mr. Voltz for his commitment to the community and his willingness to participate.
Councilmember Ortiz thanked Mr. Voltz for his involvement and the thoughtful discussions they had over
the years.
Vice Mayor Colson thanked Mr. Voltz for taking the time to talk with her about the history of issues in
Burlingame. She also expressed gratitude towards Mr. Voltz's partner, Mary Hunt, who is equally engaged
in the community and willing to assist when asked.
Councilmember Beach expressed gratitude for the friendship that she had with Mr. Voltz and noted that he
had become her mentor. She added that he was well-informed on the issues of transportation and was
innovative when it came to solutions.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment.
Burlingame resident Jennifer Pfaff discussed her appreciation for Mr. Voltz's dedication to civic service and
his desire to learn.
Burlingame resident Russ Cohen spoke about all the great work that Mr. Yoltz accomplished including his
work on the Safeway Project, Washington Park, and involvement in the Rotary Club.

Meeting Date: 4/L6/tB
Vice Mayor Colson explained that she had re-read public letters on this matter. She stated that some of the
comments included concerns about parking and the size of the building. She explained that she pulled this
item because of proposed State laws. This project would fall under the proposed State legislation as it
permits eight story multi-family buildings with no parking requirements. She stated that she hoped that the
electorate and voters are following the legislation. She noted that this item reminded her of how important it
is to that the public be informed of State legislation.
Mayor Brownrigg noted that he believed the Joint Planning Commission and City Council meeting would be
discussing the proposed State legislation.

BEING DIVERTED AND OPPOSITION TO THE NOVEMBER 2018 BALLOT MEASURE
City Manager Goldman requested Council adopt Resolution Number 45-2018.
Councilmember Beach stated that under SB l, the City will receive an estimated $8.49 million over the next
ten years for road maintenance, pothole repairs, road safety improvements, highways, bridges, and
overpasses. She noted that while State funds for road repairs have been stagnant for over a decade, the cost
of repairs has increased. She explained that in the next budget cycle, the City will have an influx of
$535,000 to assist with repairs and road maintenance. She stated that when the City doesn't receive these
funds, it has to use money from the General Fund, which takes away from other City services.
Councilmember Beach stated that on the June 2018 ballot, voters will be asked to decide on Proposition 69,
which protects SB 1 funds from being used for anything other than transportation projects. She noted that
this would ensure that the City continues to receive needed funding.
Councilmember Beach noted that there is also a ballot measure in November that would repeal SB 1. If SB I
is repealed, the City would not be able to conduct as many necessary repairs.
Councilmember Beach encouraged the public to learn more about the initiatives and understand the
importance of the funding.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment. No one spoke.
Councilmember Beach made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 45-2018; seconded by Councilmember
Ortiz. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.

a. REPORT FROM THE STATE LANDS MMISSION COMMUNITY MEETING
Parks and Recreation Director Glomstad stated that on March 22,2018, the State Lands Commission
("SLC") held a community meeting to discuss their vacant land on the Bayfront. She noted that a large
number of people showed up for the meeting and that by the end, it was standing room only. She reviewed
the meeting stating: SLC made a presentation, the public asked questions, and then the attendees broke into
working groups. She stated that because of the large number of people, SLC did not do a recap of each
group's discussion. Instead, SLC is compiling the comments of each goup and then will bring a
recommendation to the Commission. She expected that the recommendation would be released in June or
July.
Councilmember Beach was the Council representative at the SLC community meeting. She noted that at the
meeting, the public was struggling with understanding the Public Trust Doctrine. She explained that it's hard
to connect the dots between some of the approved uses and what's allowed under the Public Trust Doctrine.
She stated it is clear how boating facilities connect but not so clear how parking lots and warehouses
connect.
Mayor Brownrigg asked the Council if they shared his vision of using the land as a park. He explained that
if this was a shared vision, they could ask colleagues in San Mateo and Millbrae to weigh in.
Councilmember Ortiz concurred and explained that the Council needed to jump on any opportunity to create
green space in Burlingame.
Vice Mayor Colson discussed the list of uses inconsistent with the Public Trust Doctrine that was included in
SLC's presentation. She stated that it included local public municipal parks that are designed for local use.
She explained that the presentation noted that open space public parks may be permissible if they enhance
the enjoyment of the shoreline. She stated that what she didn't want this land to turn into is soccer fields.
This was because she believed that by turfing school fields, Murray field, and adding lights, additional space
was not needed.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that she would approve of using the land as open space with areas to picnic and
where small water crafts could be used.
Councilmember Keighran agreed with Vice Mayor Colson. She explained that she would be in favor of the
land being used as open space.
Councilmember Keighran asked how warehouses and container cargo storage meets the Public Trust
Doctrine criteria. City Manager Goldman explained that deciphering what is allowable under the Public
Trust Doctrine is difficult. She noted that there have been several court cases that have ruled on what is
allowable.

open space to the public. She noted that Parks and Recreation Director Glomstad has worked on this matter
since August2012.
Mayor Brownrigg thanked Councilmember Beach and staff for representing the City at this meeting. He
stated that what he detected was that usable public open space is still the preferred option. Council
concurred.
Vice Mayor Colson asked what the public's feedback from the community meeting was. City Manager
Goldman stated that it was unclear as SLC didn't conduct a recap of the different groups' discussions.
Councilmember Beach added that there were some distinct special interests that were represented at the
community meeting.

Date: Apri! 16,2018
From: Syed Murtuza, Director of Public Works - (650) 558-7230
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Awarding a Contract to Universal Building
Services for Janitoria! Services
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution awarding a contract to
Universal Building Services (UBS) for Janitorial Services for a period of three years in the total
amount of $941 ,196.00, and authorize the City Manager to execute the same.
BACKGROUND
Currently janitorial services are provided to the City of Burlingame by UBS located in Richmond,
California. Overall, the City has been satisfied with UBS' performance. The current janitorial
services contract is expiring in May 2018. For that reason, on February 21, 2018, the City issued
a Notice lnviting Sealed Bids from qualified contractors to perform janitorial services at nine City
facilities, including Main Library, City Hall, Parks Corporation Yard, Public Works Corporation
Yard, Easton Branch Library, Recreation Center, Police Station, and Donnelly Parking Structure.
The notice was advertised in seven trade journals, published in two newspapers of general
circulation for bid solicitation, and sent directly to nine janitorial companies in the Bay Area.
DISCUSSION
On March 15,2018, the City received one sealed bid, from UBS, in the amount of $941,196 to
provide the janitorial services at the above-mentioned City facilities for a period of three years.
Staff has reviewed the UBS bid proposal and examined the proposed scope of services and bid
amount, and determined that the bid proposal is responsive and satisfactory. UBS has met all
the project requirements, and has a successful past history of performing similar work for the City
of Burlingame and other public agencies. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council
award the janitorial services contract to the company.
The scope of work under this contract consists of all-inclusive janitorial services at nine City
facilities as mentioned above, covering approximately 162,000 square feet. Specific provisions
and specifications for cleaning each facility are outlined in the contract scope of work. ln general,
the work consists of routine daily cleaning of offices, bathrooms, conference areas, and
hallways/open areas, and periodic cleaning of windows, hard surfaces, deep cleaning of carpet
areas, and hardwood floor care. The bid amount reflects an increase of approximately 206 labor
1
J anitori al Services Contract April 16, 2018
hours on a monthly basis compared to the current level of effort, reflecting an increased scope of
level of effort in several facilities based on staff's assessment of needs, and feedback from users
of the facilities.
lf approved, the term of the Contract Agreement will be for three years, with the option to extend
for an additional two years if elected by the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract price for janitorial services for a three-year period is $941,196. There are
adequate funds available in the Public Works Department's current budget to cover the work for
the current fiscal year. Funding for the janitorial services for future years will be programmed into
future years' budgets.

STAFF REPORT AGENDA NO: 8c
MEETING DATE: April 16,2018
To:Honorable Mayor and City Gouncil
Date: April 16,2018
From: Syed Murtuza, Director of Public Works - (650) 558-7230
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Accepting the South Rollins Road Utility
lmprovement Project by Cratus !nc., City Project No. 83520
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the South Rollins
Road Utility lmprovement Project by Cratus lnc., City Project No. 83520, in the amount of
$2,745,397.75.
BACKGROUND
On Augusl 21,2017, the City Council awarded the South Rollins Road Utility lmprovement
Project to Cratus lnc., in the amount of $2,614,580.
The City Council has implemented a robust Capital lmprovement Program to address the City's
aging infrastructure. The South Rollins Road area was identified as one of the high-priority areas
for addressing aging potable water system and sanitary sewer system infrastructure. The project
consisted of installing new water mains and new sanitary sewer mains along Rollins Road from
Corbitt Drive to Humboldt Road. The deteriorated pipelines in the area were originally installed in
1906 and have reached the end of their useful life.
The potable water main work consisted of replacing old pipelines with approximately 3,671 linear
feet of new 8-inch, 616 linear feet of new 6-inch, and 98 linear feet of new 4-inch Polyvinyl
Chloride (PVC) and Ductile lron (Dl) water mains on South Rollins Road between Corbitt Drive
and Burlingame Avenue. The sanitary sewer work consisted of replacing old sewer pipelines with
approximately 657 linearfeet of new 12-inch,250 linearfeet of new 1O-inch, and 190 linearfeet
of new 4-inch Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) sewer mains on South Rollins Road between the Sewer
Lift Station at 399 Rollins Road and Humboldt Road. ln addition, four new sanitary sewer
manholes were installed as part of the project.
The new potable water system infrastructure will improve water quality, flow, and pressure to
serve the residents in the area. ln addition the new system will improve fire protection capability
for the area. Similarly, the improved sanitary sewer system infrastructure will help reduce
sanitary sewer overflows, minimize sewage stoppages, and improve the environment.

Resolution Accepting the South Rollins Road Utility lmprovement Proiect
by Cratus,lnc. City Project No. 83520.
April 16, 2018
DISCUSSION
The project has been satisfactorily completed in compliance with the plans and specifications.
The final construction cost is $2,745,398, which is $130,818 higher than the original contract
price, and within the Council-approved contingencies. The increase in cost was due to adding
180 linear feet of a new 4-inch PVC main on Winchester Place, which was scheduled to be
constructed with a future project, but made economic and logistical sense to replace it sooner to
SAVE COSIS.
FISCAL IMPACT
The following are the estimated final project expenditures:
Construction
Construction lnspection & Testing
Engineering Design & Administration
$2,745,398
$200,000
$74,602
Total $3,020,000
There are adequate funds available in the fiscal year 2017-2018 Water and Sewer Capital
lmprovement Program budget to cover the estimated final costs.

MEETING DATE: April 16,2018
To:Honorable Mayor and Gity Council
Date: April 16,2018
From: Syed Murtuza, Director of Public Works - (650) 558'7230
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Awarding a Construction Contract to Granite
Rock Company for the El Porta! and Trousdale Channel Rehabilitation,
Phase 2 Project - Gity Project No. 83230
RECOMMENDATION
The El Portal and Trousdale Channel Rehabilitation, Phase 2 project consists of concrete repairs
in the trapezoidal flood control channels. Over the years, the flood control channel has
deteriorated due to water intrusion that has undermined the existing surface, and tree roots that
have separated and exposed the earthen embankment. The City Council previously provided
funding to complete the Phase 1 work. The Phase 2 Project will complete the remaining concrete
channel repair work.
Due to the nature of the scope of work, the projects required California Environmental Quality Act
(CEOA) review. An initial study/mitigated negative declaration (lS/tt/ND) was prepared by the
City, with a public review period from April 7 to May 8, 2017. Questions were received from the
San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. The City responded to the
questions, and the final IS/MND was prepared and adopted by the City Council on May 18,2017.
DISCUSSION
Staff completed the engineering design of the project, and advertised it for construction on
February 2,2018. The project bids were opened on March 15,2018. The City received a total of
five bids, ranging from $1,108,250 to $'1,748,369. Granite Rock Company is the lowest
responsible bidder with its bid amount of $1,108,250, which is 16/% lower than the engineer's
estimate of $1,326,000. Staff has reviewed Granite Rock Company's bid proposal and finds that
the contractor has met all the project requirements, and has a past history of performing similar
work successfully. As a result, staff recommends that the City Council award the project to
Granite Rock Company, in the amount of $1,108,250, and authorize the City Manager to execute
the construction contract.

STAFF REPORT AGENDA NO: 8e
MEETING DATE: April 16,20'18
lo:Honorable Mayor and City Counci!
Date: April 16,2018
From: Sonya M. Morrison, Human Resources Director - (650) 558-7209
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor to Send a Letter of
Opposition Regarding AB 1912, Public Employees' Retirement: Joint
Powers Agreements: Liability
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor to
send a letter of opposition regarding AB 1912, Public Employees'Retirement: Joint Powers
Ag reements: Liability.
BACKGROUND
The Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Section 6500 et seq., the Act) provides that
two or more public agencies may, by agreement, jointly exercise any power common to the
parties to the agreement and may by that agreement create an entity, a Joint Powers Authority
(JPA), which is separate from the parties to the agreement. Local governments have a long
history of addressing service delivery challenges with creativity, self-reliance, and innovation.
Unique local challenges and limited resources continue to fuel innovative efforts to obtain
expertise and provide high quality services. JPAs play a vital role in promoting regional and, in
some cases, statewide collaboration in addressing public needs that cannot be effectively
achieved by each local government agency acting on its own. The City of Burlingame is a
member of several JPAs and benefits from the efficiencies and services provided by JPAs.
Without these agreements, the City would have to solely fund and provide required services,
resulting in a possible reduction in services, or it would have to reduce services overall.
Assembly Bill 1912, introduced by Assembly Member Freddie Rodriguez, would significantly alter
current legislation concerning responsibility for retirement liability created by JPAs. These
changes would be retroactive and place a burden on existing JPAs and newly created JPAs. The
League of California Cities has taken an oppose position on this bill and requested that cities do
so as well.
AB 1912 (Rodriguez) is pending before the Assembly Public Employees, Retirement & Social
Security Committee, with a tentative hearing date of April 18,2018.
1
RECOMMENDATION
Opposition to AB 1912 April 16, 2018
As currently drafted, AB'1912 places substantial burdens and new unworkable requirements on
cities by applying retroactive as well as prospective joint and several liability for all retirement-
related obligations to any current or former member of a JPA throughout its existence. Such
obligations include active employee normal pension costs, retiree unfunded accrued liabilities
(UAL), as well as both active and retiree healthcare and other post-employment retirement
benefits (OPEB).
Additionally, the measure mandates that a public retirement agency file suit against all agencies
that have ever been a member of a terminated JPA for all retirementrelated obligations and
prohibits any retirement system from approving a new JPA without express joint and several
liability provisions. The provisions in AB 1912 create constitutional, fiscal, and operational
challenges, which would effectively eliminate the ability to create or maintain most JPA's.
Specifically AB 1912:
Conflicts with Provisions of the California State Constitution - The California
constitutional debt limit prohibits an agency from incurring indebtedness beyond the agency's
ability to pay the debt back from revenues received in the same fiscal year without the
approval of hvo-thirds of its voters (Cal Const. art XVl, $18). By applying retroactive joint and
several liability to existing contracts, staff is concerned that the City of Burlingame will incur
significant debts that may exceed the City's annual revenue without receiving voter approval.
Gives Retirement Agency Authority to lncrease the Amount Owed Through
Assumption Changes and/or lnvestment Losses - The measure would hold all agencies
of a JPA accountable for the investment shortfalls, future discount rate reductions, and other
assumptions changes made by the retirement agencies even if the agencies are able to pay
the lump sum amount of the current unfunded liability from the JPA.
Gives Exclusive Authority to the Retirement Agency to Assign Liability - As stated in
SEC 6 subsection (d), AB 1 912 would grant exclusive authority to the public retirement
agency to unilaterally assign liabilities to all current and former agencies of a JPA "in an
equitable manner". JPA's have been in existence in Californla for nearly 100 years with state
and local agencies, some as many as 500, entering and exiting these governmental bodies as
service demands shift and evolve. lt would be virtually impossible for the JPA's governmental
body, let alone a retirement agency, to retroactively assign "equitable" retirementspecific
liabilities to potentially hundreds of agencies.
Creates Funding and Operational lmpairments - The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) issued regulations (GASB 68,2012 and 76,2015) that require each state and
Iocal agency to report all financial liabilities associated with public pension and OPEB
liabilities. These reporting standards play a vital role in assessing the fiscal health and viability
of an agency. lncurring retroactive debt would require each originating agency of a JPA to
report these liabilities as debts impacting an agency's net financial position. A drastic spike in
liability could contribute to the downgrading of an agency's credit rating, which in turn would
2
DISCUSSION
Opposition to AB 1912 April'16, 2018
make issuing and servicing future bonds more costly through higher interest costs and
additional required insurance.
Applies Retroactively to Existing JPAs - AB 1912 specifies that these provisions apply
retroactively to all parties, both current and former, to the joint powers agreement, and so
applies to all existing joint powers agreements. lt also requires any current agreement that
does not meet these requirements to be reopened to include a provision holding all member
agencies party to the agreement jointly and severally liable for all of the public agency's
obligations to the system.
a
ln summary, JPAs are tools state and local government agencies use to address service
demands and infrastructure needs in a cost-effective manner. Removing this tool makes it that
much more problematic to address statewide critical issues such as housing, transportation,
water, air quality, workforce development, public safety, and much more. For these reasons, staff
recommends that the City Council oppose the bill and authorize the Mayor to share the City's
opposition with the bill's author, the League of California Cities, and others.
FISCAL IMPACT

AB 1912 (Rodriquez). Public Emplovees' Retirement: Joint Powers Aqreements: Liabilitv.
Notice of Opposition (as amended 03/19/2018)
Dear Assembly Member Rodriguez:
I am writing on behalf of the City Council of the City of Burlingame to let you know of our strong opposition to your Assembly Bill (AB)
1912 relating to retirement liabilities of Joint Powers Authorities (JPA).
JPA's play a vital role in addressing public needs that cannot be effectively achieved by a local agency acting on its own. Our city faces
unique local challenges and a limited budget, but we continue to innovate in order to obtain expertise and provide high quality services
through the use of JPAs.
The City of Burlingame benefits from multiple JPAs, including our membership in the Central County Fire Department. Losing the ability
to form and/or benefit from a JPA would impact our ability to provide services, like fire protection, and would result in reduced services,
employee layoffs, higher costs for residents, and, potentially, the need to outsource work to the private sector. We are deeply concerned
that JPAs will no longer be a viable toolshould AB 1912 become law.
AB 1912, as currently drafted, places substantial burdens and new unworkable requirements on cities by applying retroactive as wellas
prospective joint and several liability for all retirementrelated obligations to any current or former member of a JPA throughout its
existence. Such obligations include active employee normal pension costs, retiree unfunded accrued liabilities (UAL), as well as both
active and retiree healthcare and other post-employment retirement beneflts (OPEB). According to the most recently available data from
the State Controlle/s Office, the unfunded liability of Califomia's 130 state and local government pension plans stands al$241.3 billion,
and $125 billon for retiree healthcare costs. These costs and their impact on local govemments cannot be overstated.
Additionally, AB 1912 would mandate that a public retirement agency file suit against all agencies that have ever been a member of a
terminated JPA for all retirement-related obligations and prohibits any retirement system from approving a new JPA without express joint

and several liability provisions. The provisions in AB 1912 create constitutional, Iiscal, and operational challenges, which would effectively
eliminate the ability to create or maintain the use of most JPA's.
Specilically AB 1912:
Conflicts with Provisions of th e California State Constitution:
The California constitutional debt limit prohibits an agency from incurring indebtedness beyond the agency's ability to pay the debt back
from revenues received in the same fiscalyear without the aoDroval of two{hirds of its voters (Cal Const aftXV| $18). These safeguards
were placed in the State's constitution to avoid a situation in which bond issuers might compel an increase in taxes or foreclose on local
government assets (Citv of Redondo Beach v Taxpavers. Propertv Owners, Citizens & Electors (19601 54 C2d 126. 131; Countv of
Shasta v Coun tv of Trinitv fi980) 106 cA3d 30.30
By applying retroactive joint and several Iiability to existing contracts, we are concerned that the City of Burlingame will incur signiflcant
debts that may exceed our annual revenue without receiving voter approval.
Further, it can be argued that rekoactively incurring debts of another agency violates article XVl, 56 of the Califomia Constitution, which
prohibits an agency from giving or lending public funds to any person, public, or private entity. A JPA is an independent governmental
body whereby the City of Burlingame has no legal, statutory oversight or managing authority. Liabilities from such entities retroactively
applied to each member agency would constitute a gift of public funds to an individual(s) and/or public entity.
Gives Retirement Ao encv Au thoritv to lncrease the Amount Throuoh AssumDtion Chanqes and/or lnvestment Losses:
Retirement obligations are unlike other forms of traditional debts and liabilities. Unfunded retirement liabilities are particularly volatile and
can grow to insurmountable costs based on no fault ofthe agencies who contract with a retirement system for health and pension benefits.
It is estimated that in frscal year 2008-2009, CaIPERS lost approximately $100 billion in assets, resulting in a gross loss of 34.75 percent
of the fund's total value. According to CaIPERS (CL#200-004-17), employer contributions are poected to double by fiscal yeat 24-25.
Additionally, those numbers are poised to grow even more in the short term when factoring CaIPERS' recent decision to modify its
amortization schedule from 30 years to 20.
AB '1912 would hold all agencies of a JPA accountable for the investment shortfalls, future discount rate reductions, and other assumption
changes made by the retirement agencies, even if the agencies are able to pay the lump sum amount of the current unfunded liability
from the JPA.
Gives Exclusive oritv to the Retirement Aqencv Assion Liabilitv:
As stated in SEC 6 subsection (d), AB 1912 would grant exclusive authority to the public retirement agency to unilaterally assign liabilities
to all current and former agencies of a JPA "in an equitable manner". JPA's have been in existence in California for nearly 100 years with
state and local agencies-some as many as 500 entering and exiting these govemmental bodies as service demands shift and evolve.
It would be virtually impossible for the JPA'S governmental body, let alone a retirement agency, to retroactively assign "equitable'
retirement-specific liabilities to potentialty hundrcds of agencies. This is especially conceming when you factor in the various assumption
changes outlined in the section above.
This vague and ambiguous direction demonstrates a fundamenlal misunderstanding of the formation, management and purpose of a
JPA, which will inevitability lead to a perpetual cycle of protracted and costly litigation contesting the retirement agency's discretion of
proportional liability.

include a provision holding all member agencies party to the agreement
jointly and severally liablefor all of the public agency's obligations to
the system.
(3) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a contracting
agency to terminate its membership with PERS, subiect to specified
criteria. Existing law requires the PERS board to enter into a specffied
agreement with the governing body of a terminating agency, upon
request of that agency, to ensure thatfinal compensation is calculated
in the same manner as benefits of nonterminating agencies, and that
reloted necessary adjustments in the employer's contribution rate are
made and benefits adequately funded, including a lump-sum payment
at termination, if agreed to by the terminating agency and the board.
Existing law requires a terminating agency to notify the PERS board
of its intention to enter into this agreement within a specified period of
time. Existing law authorizes the PERS board to choose not to enter
into an agreement to terminate if the board determines thot it is not in
the best interests of PERS. Existing law requires all plan assets and
liabilities of a terminating agency to be deposited in a single pooled
account, the terminated agency pool subaccount within the Public
Empl oyees' Retirement Fund, a continuous ly appropri ated fund.
This bill would also require the PERS board to enter into the
above-described agreement upon request of a member agency of a
terminating agencyformed under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, and
would require a member agency to notifu the PERS board of its intention
to enter into this agreement within a specified period of time. The bill
would authorize the board, if it determines that it is not in the best
interests of the retirement syslem, lo choose not to enter into that
agreement. To the extent that the bill would increase any lump-sum
payments made by a terminating ogency and deposited into a subaccount
within the Public Employees'Retirement Fund, the bill would make an
appropriation. The bill would also provide that if the governing body
of a terminating agency or the governing bodies of its member agencies
do not enter into an agreement, the member agencies would then assume
the retirement obligationsfor their retirement systems, which the board
would be required to apportion equitably among the member agencies.
(4) Existing law makes a terminated agency liable to the systemfor
any deficit infimdingfor earned benefits, interest, andfor reasonable
and necessary costs of collection, including attorney's fees. Existing
law provides that the board has a lien on the assets of a terminated
contracting agency, as specified, and that assets shall also be available
98
AB 1.912 -4-
to pay actual costs, including attorney's fees necessarily expended for
collection on the lien.
This bill would extend that liability and lien to all of the parties of a
terminating agency that was formed under the Joint Exercise of Powers
Act. The bill would specify that the liability of those parties is ioint and
several. To the extent that these changes would increase deposits in the
Public Employees' Retirement Fund, the bill would make an
appropriation.
(5) Existing law authorizes the board of PERS to elect not to impose
a reduction, or to impose a lesser reduction, on a terminated plan if
the board has made all reasonoble efforts to collect the amount
necessary to fully fund the liabilities of the plan and the board finds
that not reducing the benefits, or imposing a lesser reduction, will not
impact the actuarial soundness of the terminated agency pool.
This bill would eliminate that provision. The bill would require the
board to bring a civil action against any member agencies to a
terminated agency formed by an agreement under the Joint Exercise
of Powers Act to compel payment of the terminated public agency's
pension obligations. The bill wottld also specify that the board is entitled
to reasonable attorney's fees in addition to other costs. The bill would
also s et forth related I egis lative findings.

I SECTION 1. The Legislaturefinds and declares asfollows:
2 (o) Retirement security is important to families, workers, qnd
3 communities, as well as to the locol, regional, and statewide
4 economies, and provides financial security and dignity to those
5 who retire.
98
-5-AB 1912,
| (b) A defined benefit plan ffirs, among other types of retirement
2 plans, a guarantee offinancial security in retirement.
3 (c) A Joint Power Authority (JPA) created pursuant to the Joint
4 Exercise of Powers Act (Chapter 5 (commencing with Section
5 6500) of Division 7 of Title I of the Government Code) provides
6 important services and benefits to its geographical areas and
7 communities.
8 (d) A JPA may offer a defined benefit plan to attract, recruit,
9 and retain highly skilled employees toward providing services and
10 fulfilling its purpose.
1 1 (e) Employees who have been promised a retirement allowance
12 and the other benefits of a defined benefit plan by their employer
13 should be provided those benefits after reaching the requisite age,
14 based o, years ofservice and an established benefitformula, as
15 promised by that emploYer.
16 (fl Further an employee who accepts employment with a JPA
17 employer that promises a defined benefit plan may detrimentally
18 ,"[y o, the retiiement benefit, as committed by the employer during
19 hii or her employment and retirementfrom that employer
20 (g) Moreover a JPA might have limited sources of revenue,
2l oni on inability to increase, or secure additional sources of
22 revenue, that may lead to fnancial distress or insolvency of the
23 JPA, absent the financial surety of its member agencies and for
24 the retirement benefits of the JPA's employees.
25 (h) Additionally, employees who rely on a promise by a JPA
26 employer to provide retirement benefits by accepting aryd
27 *iintoiring employment with the employer based partly on the
28 employer's promise may do so to their own retirement detriment.
29 (i1 fnut,-*ember agencies of a JPA should not be permitted to
30 absolve themselves offinancial liability, in whole or in part, of the
31 financial distress or insolvency of a JPA that results in reductions
32 in a defined benefit plan retirement allowance of a retired JPA
33 employee, of which the agencies are members.
34 (1) rherefore, in order to ensure that the Board of Administration
35 of the Public Employees'Retirement System is meeting itsfi&rciary
36 duties and responsibilities to its members and the system, the board
37 should be peimitted to seek legal redress on behalf of its members
3 8 as a resuli of the financial insolvency of a JPA that contracts with
39 the retirement system if the financial distress or insolvency of the
40 JPA may result in a redtrction of retirement benefits to its members.
98
AB 1912 6
| (k) Further to ensure that the board is meeting its fiduciary2 duties and responsibilities, both current andfuture contracts with
3 the retirement system by a JPA must include joint and several
4 liability provisions that apply to all agencies under the agreement
5 in order to protect the members of the retirement system against
6 financial insolvency.

corporation shall only be required to alter or modiff a circuit if
such alteration or modification does not compromise the safety,
reliability, or operational flexibility of the electrical corporation's
facilities. All costs incurred to modiff circuits pursuant to this
paragraph, shall be borne by the community choice aggregator.
(d) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that each retail end-use
customer that has purchased power from an electrical corporation
on or after February 1, 2001, should bear a fair share of the
Department ofWater Resources'electricity purchase costs, as well
as electricity purchase contract obligations incurred as of the
effective date ofthe act adding this section, that are recoverable
from electrical corporation customers in commission-approved
rates. It is further the intent of the Legislature to prevent any
shifting of recoverable costs between customers.

STAFF REPORT AGENDA NO: 10a
MEETING DATE: April 16, 2018
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: April 16,2018
From William Meeker, Community Development Director - (650) 558-7255
Kevin Gardiner, Planning Manager - (650) 558-7253
Subject: Update Regarding Home for All Community Engagement Pilot Program
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update on the City's Home for All Community
Engagement Program. The Council may wish to give additional suggestions for engagement of
the community in the discussion of the need for a wider range of housing opportunities.
BACKGROUND
ln September 2015, San Mateo County convened a task force to address the gap between the
large number of new jobs being created in the County and the relatively few new housing units
being built in the region. The action plan developed by this task force led to the creation of the
Home for All lnitiative. The lnitiative is intended is to inspire community support for a variety of
housing options so that San Mateo County can continue to be a culturally, generationally, and
economically diverse region with housing options available to all who desire them.
The City of Burlingame has been supportive of and highly involved in the Home for All lnitiative.
On January 17, 2017, the City Council adopted a resolution committing the City to working with
other jurisdictions in the County to address the housing crisis through ongoing support of the
Home for All lnitiative. Vice Mayor Colson serves on the lnitiative's Steering Council and the
Funding Work Group, while Councilmember Keighran serves on the Outreach and Education
Committee and the Legislative Work Group.
ln September the City of Burlingame was selected to participate in the "Community Engagement
Pilot Program" initiated by Home for All. A key focus of Home for All has been to understand how
community perspectives about housing affect decisions made by local governments, and the
Community Engagement Pilot Program is designed to work with local jurisdictions to jointly
develop customized community engagement strategies. Home for All has partnered with
Common Knowledge Plus, a community engagement consulting firm, to facilitate the initiative,
with the objective of having housing conversations and decision-making be as inclusive and
informed as possible.

' Hame For All Community Engagement Pilot Program April 16, 2018
DISCUSSION
Home for All and Common Knowledge Plus have been working with City staff, Vice Mayor
Colson, and Councilmember Keighran to develop a work plan for Burlingame's Community
Engagement Pilot Program. The work plan focuses on the affordable housing proposal at
Downtown Parking Lots F and N ("The Village at Burlingame") together with a larger discussion of
affordable housing in the community. The hope is to have a constructive and productive dialog
with the community to discuss what options are available to address housing needs, how
resources should be invested, and how to prioritize objectives.
The intent is to engage a broad cross-section of the community, including those who may not be
familiar with how to participate in the public process. The endeavor has been named "Burlingame
Talks Together About Housing," and has been designed to provide a welcoming and inclusive
venue for discussing and considering housing matters.
On Saturday, February 10,2018, the City held the first community meeting in the engagement
program at the Lions Club Hall. Nearly 100 people attended the meeting. The emphasis of the
meeting and the prior outreach activities leading up to the meeting was to provide an opportunity
for community members from a range of backgrounds to share their experience and concerns
with housing matters in Burlingame, and have a better understanding of the issues that have
created challenges for housing. A summary of the meeting was distributed to the Council
previously, and is attached for reference. Also attached is a "word cloud" that provides a graphic
representation of the input from community members, with the size of each word indicating the
frequency with which it was mentioned.
The next "Burlingame Talks Together About Housing" meeting will be held on Saturday, April 28th,
from 10:00 am lo 12 noon (flyer attached). Whereas the first meeting in February focused on
understanding housing issues and sharing experiences, this second meeting will discuss potential
responses that could address various housing challenges. Goals of the meeting include:
o Broadening the shared understanding of how Burlingame is experiencing the issue of
housing;
. Reviewing the themes and values that have been raised so far;
o Creating awareness and understanding of current city actions and upcoming decisions related
to housing; and
. Generating additional options to increase housing security, including actions that groups and
individual residents can take.
On April 16, 2018, City staff and Home for All/Common Knowledge Plus will provide the City
Council with an additional overview of the meeting format and content, as well as receive further
input on the outreach strategy to the community.

BURLINGAME COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT ABOUT HOUSING
The City of Burlingame is partnering with Home for All to:
. Broaden the conversation about housing
' Develop shared understanding about what types of housing will help Burlingame thrive in the future
Home for Att is a community collaborative addressing the housing challenge in San
Mateo County by promoting the preservation and production of all types of housing
through sharing information, promoting innovation and convening the community.
Vice Mayor Donna Colson and Councilmember Ann Keighran have been active members of the Home for
All collaborative, Under their leadership, the City of Burlingame applied for and was awarded a grant to
pilot new approaches to community engagement on the topic of housing. The grant provides technical
assistance from Home for All and consultant Common Knowledge Plus, as well as funds to help conduct
engagement that is more inclusive, informed and sustained than traditional civic participation activities.
Pilot Project Activities to date:
o ln-Person Outreach: Mid-December through mid-February, pop-up discussions were conducted
at multiple locations around town, such as the library, train station, farmer's market, and
outside local stores.
. Online Survey: With help from local partners, an online survey reached a total of 30L
respondents who live and work in Burlingame
. Community Conversation: An educational community dialogue brought together close to 100
people on the morning of Saturday, February 10.
Highlights of February 10 Community Meeting
Participants sat at 11 discussion tables, each with a mix of income levels and mix of impacts from
housing challenges. Following a welcome from Vice-Mayor Donna Colson and William Lowell from Home
for All, the format was a mix of short presentations by Planning Manager Kevin Gardiner followed by
table discussions supported by trained facilitators. Allfive council members attended as listeners. ln his
closing remarks, Mayor Michael Brownrigg shared his appreciation of the community participation. An
open house followed the main meeting, providing information about proposed housing projects and

nonprofit services related to housing. Participant input was captured by discussion notes from each of
the 11 tables, 52 feedback forms and 38 participant worksheets.
Themes from Table Dialogue:
There is a strong connection and loyalty to the community of Burlingame; people want to be able to stay
and have their families stay.
. Rising housing costs have created insecurity and instability, especially for renters.
o This creates stresses on families, communities
o When people can't afford to live in Burlingame, everyone is affected - including
homeowners, employers and renters
. Many jobs in Burlingame do not pay enough for someone to be able to afford housing here.
As a result, many workers must commute (adding to the whole region's traffic congestion).
o Residents are also paying attention to impacts from growth on schools and parking. They
wonder: "Whot is Burlingame's upside copocity?"
. There is widespread shared interest in retaining "teachers, cops, hospital workers, retail
workers" and other major community contributors as residents.
. People want a walkable, well-connected community with socio-economic diversity.
These are representative comments of what participants cited as key takeaways from the dialogue:
. "Mony citizens share the some concerns obout the
offordabitity chollenges of living in this orea." 33
o "Thot this choilenge is not just hoppening in my Thank you for bringing
morriage ond famity - every one of my neighbors is us all together to share
offected by this, even if they own their home." our concerns and
. "Mony residents are thinking obout the topic and hopes for the future
realizing we con't keep the stotus quo."
o "Burlingome is doing much more thon I reolized obout of Burlingame'
housing." - PartictPan' ,,o "Thot the city is listening to people and working on solutions."
lndicated Actions:
Participants indicated an enhanced awareness that no one solution was sufficient to address the
challenges. As one community member shared: "There ore multiple options on the table, no one idea is
2

the riqht choice, it will toke time but will get sorted out
one step ot o time." There was broad interest in a
whole array of responses and solutions, such as:
o Multi-family, especially along Caltrain corridor
and Rollins Road
o Mixed use, especially along El Camino Real
and Broadway
. Live/work
. Employer support to housing
o Various kinds of tenant support, such as more
predictable rent, and relocation assistance
o Easing up ADU regulations
o Ways to preserve existing stock
o Home sharing
o Build smaller units, tiny homes
33 The conversation for
solutions needs to continue.
There is a decent amount
of community consensus
on the issue. ,,
Some participants also expressed interest in a housing
commission andlor advisory group to keep communication with the community flowing.
Community feedback about the format of the February L0 meeting was quite positive. Participants
asked for more chances to come together and for more information. The discussion between
participants was called out as the most valuable element of the meeting. The information shared by the
Planning Department was also appreciated as well as how council members attended as listeners. The
location, breakfast and activities for children were also cited as positives in making this an accessible
way to learn more about Burlingame and housing.
About two thirds of attendees indicated that they had limited prior experience with housing
conversations in the past. Most said the level of information provided at this introductory meeting was
" just obout right."
Next Steps
. A follow up meeting in late April or May will invite the community to help shape priorities for
the City of Burlingame's Housing Program
o Ongoing updates to the City's web pages about housing overall and affordable housing based on
the information requested by community members

Highlights from Online Survey
Conducted from January 24 through February 7,20L8, the purpose ofthe online survey was to
understand what issues are top of mind and what information about housing people are interested in
Among the 301 responses, these were the leading areas of concern:
o High cost of purchasing a home
o Rising rent
. People I care about can no longer afford to live in the community
These additional concerns were representative of comments:
. Negative impacts of growth, crowded schools, "strain on infrastructure," such as local parking
and water supply
. Many are stressed or sad about being on
the brink of being priced out.
. Many calls for housing that support
occupations like teachers, safety officers,
city employees, and retail clerks as well as
adult children.
. Several noted traffic congestion. Some
asked that planning for housing and
tra nsportation happen concu rrently.
o lnterest in housing for people with low
and middle incomes, as well as housing for
seniors on fixed incomes.
o There is a strong desire to maintain a diverse community with strong social connections.
Comparing lnput from February 10 Meeting and Survey Results
The February L0 meeting participants articulated the same concerns raised in the online survey and
most also demonstrated three key differences versus the survey respondents:
o lncreased understanding of the extent of shared impacts ("1'm not alone")
o lncreased understanding about different dimensions of the situation ("it's complicated") and
that multiple solutions will be needed
o Despite understanding that the problem is bigger and more widespread, most attendees
expressed feeling more encouraged than discouraged and some even "inspired." (This compares
to more negative comments from survey respondents, including feelings such as "despair"). lt
appears that the February 10 community dialogue generated these sources of encouragement:
o That many others in the community also care
o That there are many solutions underway and under consideration
o That the council was listening and attentive to the concerns of all kinds of community
members

Subject: Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) on the lmplementation of the
Housing Element of the General Plan
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the 2017 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
The State of California requires each local government jurisdiction to prepare a Housing Element as
part of its General Plan in order to ensure that all communities plan for the projected housing demand
throughout the state. Unlike other elements of a General Plan, the Housing Element must be updated
according to 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 eight 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. 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. ln addition to
demonstrating how the allocated number of units can be produced, policies in a Housing Element

Housing Element Annual Progress Report (2017)
DISCUSSION
o 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
The City of Burlingame's last Housing Element update was adopted in January 2015. The City is
currently starting the third year of the 2015-2023 planning period. Burlingame's RHNA allocation for
this cycle is 863 units.
Housing Element Annual Report: California Government Code Section 65400 requires that an Annual
Report ("Report") be prepared to document the status of implementation of the Housing Element. The
Report must first be submitted to the City Council for review, which then authorizes submission of the
Report to the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD). Additionally, the Report has to be prepared in accordance with
the provisions set forth by HCD and on the forms provided by HCD (attached).
The Housing Element Annual Report includes the following information about housing production
since the start of the planning period in 2015:
. lnformation on the types of housing units that were issued building permits (Table A & A3);
. lnformation 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 Report includes a tabulation of the number of building permits issued for construction of new
dwelling units. The count only includes nef new units, not permits issued for replacement units
(demolition of a unit and reconstruction of a new unit). ln summary, permits were issued for a total of
13 net new units in (calendaryear) 2017. Eight of these units resulted from a 10-unit condominium
project at 1491-1493 Oak Grove Avenue that included the demolition of two single family dwellings,
the merging of the two lots, and construction of a new 10-unit condominium building. The remaining
five units were the result of permits issued for new accessory dwelling units.
While 13 net new units is relatively modest in terms of the RHNA allocation, this required reporting is
specifically for net new units for which building permits were issued during calendar year 2017.
Staff notes that the Planning Commission and City Council have approved a number of projects that
will result in 344 net new units in the coming years, but they cannot yet be reflected in the annual
report until building permits have been issued (Residential Applications Overview - April 2018
attached). These units will be added to the RHNA progress report once the building permits are
issued, several for which have been submitted to the Building Division and are currently under review,
including the SummerHitl project on Carolan Avenue, which alone would include 290 net new units. ln
addition, there are multiple projects that are proposed and have been submitted for entitlements and
are currently under review, but have not yet been acted on by the Planning Commission. These "in
progress" applications would result in 328 net new units if they were each approved as currently
submitted. Therefore Burlingame has the potentialfor 618 net new units during this housing cycle, but
these cannot be counted towards the RHNA target until after the building permits are issued.

Adoption of a Resotution Opposing Regarding SB 827 (Wiener) -Planning
and Zoning: Transit-Rich Housing Bonus and Authorizing the Mayor to
Send a Letter Conveying the CitY's Position
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution opposing Senate Bll 827
(Wiener), Planning and Zoning: Transit Rich Housing Bonus, and authorizing the Mayor to send a
letter of opposition. While the legislation is in early phases and amendments are ongoing, the
League of California Cities has recommended that its members state their positions at the earliest
opportunity.
BACKGROUND
On January 3, 2018, State Senator Scott Wiener introduced SB 827 as part of his Housing First
package, which also included bills to reform the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
process and to expand farmworker housing opportunities while maintaining strong worker
protections. Under SB 827, parcels within a half-mile of major transit hubs or within a quarter mile
of high-frequency bus stops would be exempt from a variety of locally developed and adopted
development standards such as height limitations, densities, parking requirements, and design
review standards. SB 827 would let developers construct buildings up to 55 feet tall (amended
from g5 feet in the initial proposal), with no parking minimums and limited design review even if
local zoning codes preclude it, including in single family neighborhoods.
SB g27 would apply in any city that has transit service that meets either of the below definitions:
, ,,High-guality transit corridor stop" means a corridor with fixed route bus service that has
service intervals of no more than 15 minutes during peak commute hours.
"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.

SB 827 (Wiener) - Planning and Zoning: Transit Rich Housing Bonus April 16, 2018
For Burlingame, these radii would encompass a significant portion of the City and eliminate the
ability for the City to engage in planning self-determination.
DISCUSSION
The League of California Cities has been actively opposing this measure since it was introduced
in January, and has recommended that its members state their positions at the earliest
opportunity. Concerns raised by the League include:
SB 827 would undermine locally adopted General Plans, Housing Elements (which are
certified by the Department of Housing and Community Development), and Sustainable
Community Strategies (SCS).
SB 827 allows housing developers to determine housing densities, parking requirements, and
design review standards within one-half mile of a "major transit stop," or one-quarter mile
radius of a transit stop on a "high quality transit corridor." Under existing law, cities are
already required to zone for densities at levels necessary to meet their entire Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
Exempting large-scale developments from General Plans, Housing Elements, and zoning
ordinances goes against the principles of local democracy and public engagement. Public
hearings allow members of the community to inform their representatives of their support or
concerns when planning documents are developed, and often lead to better projects.
Disregarding such processes will increase public distrust in government and could lead to
more ballot measures dealing with growth management.
I
I
I
The American Planning Association California Chapter also is opposed to SB 827 (letter
attached). The APA California Chapter's concerns include:
SB 827 would override local planning efforts including General Plans, Housing Elements, and
Specific Plans
SB 827 would replace local land use planning with a "one-size fits all" approach across the
entire state.
The approach in SB 827 does not take into consideration what is currently on the ground,
what cities and counties have already accomplished to increase density around transit, or the
detrimental consequences to existing affordable housing.
SB 827 would overrule public input in the local decision-making process, which is an essential
feature of planning and zoning law, making it even more difficult for California's cities and
counties to achieve the balanced community planning historically supported (and mandated)
by state law.
SB 827 would set a troubling precedent for further diminishing of local land use planning in
future legislation.
2
SB 827 (Wiener) - Planning and Zoning: Transit Rich Housing Bonus April 16, 2018
SB 827 would also present challenges to municipalities with impacted school districts such as
Burlingame, where accommodating capacity is already a challenge. The "one size fits all"
approach does not distinguish between districts with declining enrollment and facing school
closures, compared to districts such as Burlingame that are at capacity and cannot easily build
additional facilities. The ability for school districts to finance new construction through impact fees
is constrained, and SB 827 does not provide funding mechanisms for schools facing increasing
enrollment.
The City of Burlingame understands the need to provide new housing, and has been pursuing in
earnest tools in place to promote housing development. ln 2010, the City adopted its Downtown
Specific Plan, which emphasizes new housing development within close proximity to transit and
downtown services. Since the plan's adoption, 387 new residential units have either been
proposed or approved - a particularly worthy achievement given that Burlingame's downtown is
already intensively developed with very few vacant or underutilized sites. Beyond the boundaries
of the Downtown Specific Plan, 431 additional new residential units have either been proposed or
approved, in accordance with previous planning efforts such as the North Burlingame/Rollins
Road Specific Plan, and earlier updates of the Housing Element.
More recently, in 2015 the City initiated a comprehensive update of its General Plan ("Envision
Burlingame"), which proposes to facilitate substantial increases in housing, with priority for areas
near transit. While the Draft General Plan shares a number of objectives with the proposed SB
827 legislation (particularly locating housing near transit), the General Plan is the culmination of a
highly-involved, multi-year community planning process, and is subject to a thorough
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA). Public hearings will
commence upon release of the Draft Environmental lmpact Report (ElR) this spring. Also
significantly, whereas the Draft General Plan retains existing single family land uses without
changes (except for the provision of accessory dwelling units), SB 827 would apply to all
residential districts, including single family districts.
The attached resolution combines League of California Cities and American Planning Association
Catifornia Chapter concerns points with points specific to Burlingame that highlight the City's
commitment to housing and the importance of its development review process.
Furthermore, the resolution states that the City has taken substantial steps toward planning for
future housing, including initiating a comprehensive update to its General Plan ("Envision
Burlingame"), approving an affordable housing commercial linkage fee, and being on track to
meet its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) target for market rate housing.

WHEREAS, in January 2018, Senator Scott Wiener introduced SB 827, Planning and
Zoning: TransilRich Housing Bonus; and
WHEREAS, SB 827 (Wiener) would exempt a housing project with parcels all within a

various requirements and empowers the State to override local zoning laws to let developers
build taller and more densely around rail stations and bus lines; and
WHEREAS, these radii would encompass significant areas of Burlingame, effectively
eliminating the ability for the City to engage in planning self-determination; and
WHEREAS, SB 827 would let developers construct buildings up to 55 feet tall with no
parking minimums and limited design review, even if local zoning codes preclude it, including in
single family neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the City must make every effort to expand affordable and middle-income
housing, but not at the expense of local control over land use and community-driven planning;

SB 827 Miener). Planninq and Zoninq: Transit-Rich Housinq Bonus.
Notice of Opposition (as amended 4/9/18)
Dear Senator Wiener:
I am writing on behalf of the City Council of the City of Burlingame to let you know of our opposition to Senate Bill (SB) 827, which
would effectively rezone all land within one-half mile radius of a "major transit stop" or one-quarter mile radius of a transit stop on a
"high quality transit corridor."
The City of Burlingame understands the need to provide new housing, and has been pursuing in earnest tools in place to promote
housing development. ln 2010 the City adopted its Downtown Specific Plan, which emphasizes new housing developmentwithin close
proximity to transit and downtown services. Since the plan's adoption, 387 new residential units have either been proposed or
approved - a pailicularly worthy achievement given Burlingame's downtown is already intensively developed with very few vacant or
underutilized sites. Beyond the boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan, 431 additional new residential units have either been
proposed or approved, in accordance with previous planning efforts such as the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan, and
earlier updates of the Housing Element. The City is on track to meet its overall Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals in
terms of total number of units.
It/ore recently, in 2015, the City initiated a comprehensive update of its General Plan and Zoning Ordinance (known as "Envision
Burlingame"), which proposes to facilitate substantial increases in housing, with priority for areas near transit. While the Draft General
Plan shares a number of objectives with the proposed SB 827 legislation (particularly locating housing near transit), the General Plan is
the culmination of a highly-involved, multi-year community planning process. SB 827 would undermine the years of hard work that the
community has put into the update of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
Furthermore, understanding that the housing construction market alone cannot accommodate the lower-income ranges, even with
incentives such as density bonuses, the City of Burlingame has been proactive in pursuing and promoting affordable housing. The City
adopted a commercial linkage fee for new commercial development, and is in the process of considering a residential impact fee for

new residential development. ln Downtown Burlingame, the City is pursuing development of a 132-unit workforce and senior affordable
housing development, with the City providing the land for the project.
ln this context, the City of Burlingame must oppose SB 827 for the following reasons:
SB 827 would undermine the City's certified Housing Element, as well as the many years of work that have been invested in the
City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Update. lnstead, SB 827 would replace local land use planning with a "one-size fits all"
approach across the entire state.
Exempting large-scale developments from General Plans, Housing Elements, and zoning ordinances goes against the principles of
local democracy and public engagement. Burlingame has created a development review process that provides clear guidance to
applicants while also allowing the community to give input so that housing proposals will be successful. Eliminating the public
process in the review of these developments will violate the trust that the public has put in the planning process.
a
a
a
a
The approach in SB 827 does not take into consideration what is currently on the ground, and what cities and counties have
already accomplished to increase density around transit.
SB 827 would present challenges to municipalities with impacted school districts such as Burlingame, where accommodating
capacity is already a challenge and the district cannot easily build additional facilities. The ability for school districts to finance new
construction through impact fees is constrained, and SB 827 does not provide funding mechanisms for schools facing increasing
enrollment.
For the reasons stated above, the City of Burlingame must strongly oppose Senate Bill 827. lf you have any questions about the City's
position on this legislation, please contact Planning Manager Kevin Gardiner at kqardiner@burlinqame.orq or 650-558-7250.

SUBJECT: SB 827 (WIENER) - NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
OVERRIDING LOCAL ZONING NEAR TRANSIT
Dear Senator Wiener:
The American Planning Association, California Chapter (APA California) must
regretfully oppose SB 827 as amended March 1st. SB 827 would require a
local government, if requested, to grant a "transit-rich" housing bonus to a
development proponent of a "transit-rich" housing project located near
transit by eliminating specific local land use authority.
APA California understands and supports the goal of increasing the number of
new multifamily housing units rather than low-density housing around transit
stops - it is one of APA's principles to support density, affordability and
inclusive communities near transit and throughout the community. APA
California would support revising existing planning and Transit Oriented
Development laws to increase density and affordability requirements near
transit stops by requiring a minimum density and affordability standard on
vacant and redeveloping properties - and allowing each jurisdiction to figure
out how best to meet those minimums. Appropriate protections for existing
housing must also be part of that process.
But, SB 827 does much more than set a new bar for density. lt would override
local planning efforts including longstanding General Plan land use plans in
stable, builtout communities, Housing Elements certified by HCD, Sustainable
Communities Strategies, development agreements, specific plans, and Transit
Oriented Developments.
APA California opposes altering state policy to replace local land use planning
with a one-size fits all approach across the entire state, in areas as diverse as

San Francisco and Redding. The approach in SB 827 does not take into
consideration what is currently on the ground, what cities and counties have
already accomplished to increase density around transit, or the detrimental
consequences to existing affordable housing that the bill's significant benefits
to developers would encourage. This bill would overrule public input in the
local decision-making process, which is an essential feature of planning and
zoning law, making it even more difficult for California's cities and counties to
achieve the balanced community planning historically supported (and
mandated) by state law. APA California believes the approach in SB 827 will
adversely impact all housing development, including multifamily housing, and
set a troubllng precedent for further diminishing of local land use planning in
future legislation.
APA California is willing to work with you to craft legislation to increase density around
major transit stops using approaches like minimum density and affordabilrty standards as
suggested. However, APA cannot support a bill that begins to eliminate or otherwise
diminishes local land use planning through an arbitrary blanket standard applicable to
every unique community in California without any regard for existing localcircumstances.

SENATE BILL No.827
Introduced by Senator Wiener
(Principal coauthor: Senator Skinner)
(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Ting)
(Coauthor: Senator Hueso)
January 3, 2018
An act to add Chapter 4.35 (commencing with Section 65918.5) to
Division I of Title 7 of the Government Code, relating to land use.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL,S DIGEST
SB 827, as amended, Wiener. Planning and zoning: transit-rich
housing bonus.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires, when an applicant proposes
a housing development within the jurisdiction of a local government,
that the city, county, or city and county provide the developer with a
density bonus and other incentives or concessions for the production
of lower income housing units or for the donation of land within the
development if the developer, among other things, agrees to construct
a specified percentage of units for very low, low-, or moderate-income
households or qualiffing residents.
This bill would require a local government to, if requested, grant a
development proponent of a transit-rich housing project a transit-rich
housing bonus if that development at the time of submittal meets
specified planning standards, including complying with demolition
permit requirements, complying with any local inclusionary housing
@ ordinance or if the local government has not
adopted an inclusionary housing ordinance, agreeing to provide a
97
SB 827 )
specirted percentage of awarded units as onsite affordable housing,
preparing a relocation beneflts and assistance plan, complying with any
locally adopted objective zoning standards,+nd complying with any
locally adopted minimum unit mix=eqgiremen*s requirements, and if
the development includes specified types of parcels, agreeing to reploce
those units and to offer units at one of 2 specified affordable rates.The
bill would define a transit-rich housing project as a residential
development project the parcels of which are all within a '/, mile radius
of a major transit stop or a '/o mile radius of a stop on a high-quality
trartsit Das corridor. The bill would exempt an eligible applicant who
receives a transit-rich housing bonus from various requirements,
including maximum controls on residential density, maximum controls
on floor area ratio that are lower than a specified amount, minimum
automobile parking-+equirementg requirements except as provided,
maximum heightJimitafiom; limitations that are less than a specified
omount unless those increases would have a specific, adverse impact
upon public health and safety, and zoning or design controls that have
the effect of limiting additions onto existing structures or lots that
comply with those maximum floor area ratios and height limitations.
The bill would require an eligible applicant, which this bill would define
to mean a development proponent who receives a transit-rich housing
bonus, to provide each resident of the development with a recurring
monthly transit pass with the applicable transit ogency that provides
service to the major transit stop or high quality transit corridor that
qualified the applicant for the bonus at no cost to the residents. The
bill would require an eligible applicantffi
h€usiffg+onus to provide beneflts to eligible displaced persons who are
displaced by the development, including requiring the applicant to offer
a right to remain guarantee to those tenants, and to make payments to
eligible displaced persons for moving and related expenses as well as
for relocation benefits. The bill would also require an eligible applicant
to submit a relocation benefit and assistance plan for approval to the
applicable local government to that effect, and to provide specified
information and assistance to eligible displaced persons.
This bill would provide that the provisions described above become
operative on Jarutary 1, 2021 , in order to provide an opportltnity for
local governments to conduct studies and to adopt or update any
ordinances as necessary. The bill would authorize a local government,
no later than July 1, 2020, to apply to the Department of Housing and
Commtrnity Development for a one-time one-year extension in order
97
-3-SB 827
to delay the operation of those provisions with respect to parcels located
within the jurisdictional boundaries of that local government until
January 1, 2022. The bill would require the department to review any
application submitted, and to grant it if the department makes specified
findings. The bill would require the department to post on its Internet
Web site the final decision of any application that the department
granted to delay the operation of these provisions.
This bill, commencing January I , 20I9, would provide that if a local
government adopts any ordinance on or after Jarutory 1,2018, that
eliminates zoning designations or decreases residential zoning capacity
within an existing zoning district, then any development proponent who
submits an applicationfor a transit-rich housing bonus on or after the
operative date of these provisions as described above, will be deemed
to be consistent with the requirements of these provisions if that
development complies with zoning designations that were authorized
onJanuary 1,2018.
The bill would declare that its provisions address a matter of statewide
concern and apply equally to all cities and counties in this state,
including a charter city.
By adding to the duties of local planning officials, this bill would
impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact asfollows:
I SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares that this act
2 addresses a matter of statewide concern and shall apply equally to
3 all cities and counties in this state, including charter cities.
4 SEC. 2. Chapter 4.35 (commencing with Section 65918.5) is

STAFF REPORT AGENDANO: 10d
MEETING DATE: April 16,2018
To:Honorable Mayor and City Gouncil
Date: April 16,2018
From:Margaret Glomstad, Parks and Recreation Director - (650) 558-7307
Nicole Acquisti, Recreation Supervisor - (650) 558-7337
Subject: Discussion of Skyline Park
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss the proposed park on Skyline Boulevard and
provide direction.
BACKGROUND
Members of the Burlingame community have repeatedly requested additional hours and areas to
have dogs off-leash within the City's park system. ln 2016, the Dog Park Task Force (DPTF)
asked Recreation Division staff to research possible locations for a new dog park. Staff reviewed
both City-owned and privately-owned parcels, including space behind Kohl Mansion. Most of the
potential sites that staff reviewed were privately owned, and there were challenges with access
and acquisition costs.
DISCUSSION
ln September 2016, Burlingame Parks and Recreation staff met with Community Development
Department planners to discuss the details of the land. Staff agreed that this piece of land would
be a good location for a park.
On October 6,2016, Parks Superintendent Bob Disco and Recreation Supervisor Nicole Acquisti,
along with Landscape Architect John Cahalan, hosted a community meeting to gather input
regarding the use of the site as a park open to off-leash dogs. Community members were
notified of the meeting through the City's eNews and the staff-maintained email list for those
1
The three-acre parcel located on the west side of Skyline Boulevard, between Rivera Drive and
Trousdale, belongs to the City. ln the 1970s, the City considered building a park on this site.
More recently, the City was considering relocating Fire Station 35 on Hillside Drive to this location
but determined not to move forward with this project. Over the past two years, PG&E has
removed trees along the pipeline that traverses the property, and Parks staff, in coordination with
CAL FIRE crews, has completed significant fuel reduction work. Additionally, the Parks staff
reduced the poison oak and thistles that were prevalent on the site as part of the fuel reduction
work.
Discussion of Skyline Park April 16, 2018
interested in dog park matters; the City also sent 700 mailers to neighbors surrounding the
proposed project area. At the meeting, John Cahalan provided renderings of the proposed site.
Approximately 30 attendees were able to ask questions and voice their opinions. Staff also
accepted correspondence from community members that were unable to attend the meeting.
Attendees noted their concerns about parking and safe access to the park, increased traffic on
Skyline Boulevard, hours of park use, smoking onsite, the smell from the park, and the cost to
build and maintain the park. Others were supportive of providing an open area for dogs and
people to exercise and an additional recreational opportunity within the city. Finally, some noted
their preference for maintaining a natural environment on the site.
1. The hours of use would be the same as those at all of the City's unlit parks; open sunrise
to sunset.
2. Signage regarding rules of the park would include a prohibition on smoking and a
requirement that park users pick up after their dogs.
3. Park maintenance would be the same as that for the rest of the parks in the system and
would be added to the Parks Division maintenance plan.
The Commission asked staff to discuss the parking, access, and traffic concerns with Community
Development and bring the item back to the Commission for further review. ln the early months
of 2017, Supervisor Acquisti met with Community Development staff to explore options for
additional parking locations as well as safe entry and exit points for minimal impact to the current
traffic and nearby residents.
Through an lnstitute of Transportation Engineers (lTE) report, Community Development staff
worked on generating the information needed to determine the required parking and, in turn, how
it would affect traffic specifically during the peak hours between 7 and I a.m. and 4 and 6 p.m
Because the ITE parking generation did not have a specific item for "off-leash park," Community
Development staff looked at other sources including exclusive dog park locations and other
studies in the Bay Area.
Based on the size of the proposed park area, the daily traffic on Skyline Boulevard, and the
current lane space, Community Development staff determined that a minimum of three parking
spaces would be required at the park, including one off-street, van-accessible ADA stall and two
parallel spaces on Skyline Boulevard.
The landscape architect then updated the plans to reflect the required changes and provided a
cost estimate of $241,210. ln lttay 2017 , Community Development staff reviewed the revised
plans and approved the updated parking and lane additions (Exhibits A and B).
On June 15,2017, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the updated plans and heard
public comment. After discussion, the Commission approved the proposed plans for the Skyline
Park. Following the meeting, staff spoke with members of the DPTF and other community
On November 17, 2016, Recreation Supervisor Acquisti presented the input from the community
meeting to the Parks and Recreation Commission and provided follow-up information addressing
some of the concerns.
Discussion of Skyline Pa*April 16, 2018
members regarding the approved plans and determined that it would be prudent to investigate the
viability of and cost associated with adding an additional off-street parking space next to the
accessible space. Landscape Architect John Cahalan again revised the cost estimate and plans
to include an additional off-street space.
Adding an additional off-street parking space requires the addition of a retaining wall to allow for
shifting the ADA space and landing area north by 10 feet. This would leave a steeper upslope
into the park, which could be mitigated with concrete steps. The benefits of adding concrete
steps include easier access to the park and a decrease of the erosion to the slope, but the costs
escalate to $349,050.
On November 16,2017, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the updated plans and
project costs, heard public comments and, after discussion, unanimously approved the original
proposal, including the three parking spaces (one ADA off-street and two parallel street parking
spaces) and recommended the project be brought to the City Council.
The Skyline Park would be a passive park in the City's parks system, allowing community
members to enjoy a natural environment while also permitting off-leash dogs. Generally, passive
recreation may be defined as a non-motorized activity that:
1. Offers constructive, restorative, and pleasurable human benefits and fosters appreciation
and understanding of open space and its purpose
2. ls compatible with other passive recreation uses
3. Does not significantly impact natural, cultural, scientific, or agricultural values
4. Requires only minimal visitor facilities and services directly related to safety and
minimizes passive recreation impacts
Parks staff would maintain the park and continue to be diligent with poison oak and thistle control,
assist PG&E to combat root groMh on the pipeline, and work with Central County Fire on fuel
reduction. The Parks Division's increased presence will include site visits at least once a week
for general maintenance.
After evaluation, Community Development staff determined that this project is Categorically
Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA), per Section
15304 of the CEQA Guidelines which consists of minor public or private alterations in the
condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature,
scenic trees except for forestry or agricultural purposes. Community Development staff also
noted that the parking option with either one or two off-street parking spaces is sufficient to
comply with ADA requirements regardless of the addition of stairs to mitigate the upslope.
The Skyline Park is currently an unfunded project in the City's Capital lmprovement Program.
Should the City Council wish to advance this project, then funds will need to be appropriated,
either from the City's unassigned fund balance or by delaying other ptanned park projects. Staff
is seeking Council direction at this time on whether or not the Council is interested in moving
foruard with the Skyline Park.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost for this project is $276,135 (Exhibit C). Additionally, an average of three
hours per week will be required by Parks staff to perform general maintenance (mowing/trash).

Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing a Financial Contribution to the Citizens
of San Mateo Countv Gun Buvback Proqram
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a one-time donation to
Citizens for a San Mateo County Gun Buyback in order to support an upcoming gun buyback event.
BACKGROUND
Citizens for a San Mateo County Gun Buyback has been working since late February to raise funds
for a gun buyback event. They recently contacted the City Council to request a financial
contribution from Burlingame.
DISCU SSION
Gun buyback programs can be an effective way to take unwanted guns out of the public's hands.
ln late February, Citizens for a San Mateo County Gun Buyback approached San Mateo County
Sheriff Carlos Bolanos asking that he conduct a gun buyback event, similar to a past event held in
San Mateo County in 2013, as well as other events held all over the country. Sheriff Bolanos
agreed to manage the gun buyback event, including staffing the event and disposing of the guns
collected. The Sheriff estimates that it will cost $75,000 to put on the event, which will be held on
May 5 at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds. According to the Sheriff and Citizens for a San lt/lateo
County Gun Buyback, 100 percent of the donated funds will be used to purchase the unwanted
guns from citizens. None of the funds will be used for personnel expenses such as overtime.
As a way to raise funds, Citizens for a San Mateo County Gun Buyback has approached the various
City Councils in San Mateo County asking for a minimum donation of $5,000 to help support the
event. As of March 20, the City of San Carlos is contributing $50,000 in matching grant funds. The
Town of Portola Valley and the Town of Woodside are contributing $10,000, plus they have both
established $5,000 matching grant funds specifically for the fundraising efforts by students in their
towns. The Cities of Belmont, Redwood City, and San Mateo are contributing $5,000 each.
FISCAL IMPACT
Unknown at this time.

Monday. April9 - PCE Executive Committee Meeting
1. Several new hires - procurement area
2. New rates took effect on March 15 and we are maintaining our 5%o discount on
generation rates, but the baseline amount is increasingTo/o per year.
3. No real formal or LT market and there is one firm called Level 10 that is trying to do
this, but right now there is only a bi-lateral and opaque market. Working on creating a
secondary market, but that has not formally developed as of yet. The focus is on the
ST market only and that drives down the value of the energy - proposal is to move to
a longer-term market for trading energy contacts. |oe and the team are keeping up on
this work.
4. Interim CFO - VP Finance/Administration - 2 days a week or so...complete the
employee handbooh additional financial policies including IT security review and
help define the permanent position. VP of Finance and Administration - is the title of
this organization. Recruiter and Interim CFO to be retained by Friday.

Budget got bumped up in several place due to bipartisan appropriations - increase
about 10%0. Also, tax-credit change in bill allows tax-credit to finance up to B0% with
average to 600/o and was part of tax reform package. This can allow us to bump up the
projects allocations.

Home For All Steering Committee - Thursday. April 12. 2018
. Discussion of CASA - housing protection, preservation and discussion. A similar group
working on housing around Bay Area and considering inviting them to our meeting.
MTC discussion into the housing arena and TOD - County did start with $10mm
allocated to housing preservation. CASA does report back to MTC, but the day-to-day,
not as much. Headed to a discussion around getting these stakeholders to agree to
this work. This is actually the challenge bc even if agree, no real way to translate into
action.
. Goal to add t6,4LB total county units by 2022.
. Land, funding, and community support for housing are the three objectives.
. Reached over 400 people at our workshops and the people are really supportive and
getting positive feedback.
. Launched City Pilot projects. We have had three events - had over 100 people attend
around housing impact fees. Significant percentage have never attended such an
event before.
. Learning Network - every other month to share information about housing. Key
component is report backs from city pilot programs.
. Two books - second unit inspiration book and how to build a second unit in San
Mateo County.
Starting to Measure Impact
. HIPP Housing - Councils are very interested in housing and they are understanding
and looking or solutions.
. More understanding about impact fees and inclusionary zoning.
. How do we measure this? Starting to gather data and looking to see what new
legislation is being considered.
. Counting number of new affordable units in the county
. Impact of new approaches to community engagement

Colson Committee Report April 16, 2018
. HEART did an analysis and there are about $100 mm in housing funds and they are
not being invested. It is a problem because some of the issue is just how do we get
this in the market place. Working to see if we can get a RHNA cross county allocation
system to help get these funds invested. Informational meeting on fune 6th regarding
investing housing fees.. Land, funding and community engagement top priorities going forward.. Steering Committee endorsed the top priorities as outlined in the three defined areas.
Conversation around traffic and parking - need to raise the issue up on terms of
conversation.
. Next meeting is May l-0 and we will establish a meeting schedule going forward.

Side Note - Interesting Visit to the Tenement Housing Museum in New York City at National
Trust for Historic Preservation Property 97 Orchard Street Lower East Side
I just note this visit and highly recommend getting tickets to do this tour if you are in NYC - it
is a great conversation about the challenges around housing and immigration that took place
in NYC from 1850 to 1950. A fabulous look at diversity and ethnic integration over
generations and how housing regulation impacted housing offerings over time. There are
about five different tours, both internal to the site and neighborhood and it really gives one
the sense that we are struggling with similar problems - economic development, diversity,
housing density, transit, etc - 100 years later. 250,000 Visitors per year.

(including Vice Mayor Colson!) on PCE's award for sustainability contributions within
our county.
County-wide Sea Level Rise Meeting hosted by C/CAG and Supervisor Dave Pine.
Fridav.3l29.
Key learnings:
o Regional collaboration to address the Sea Level rise will be critical in the
months/years ahead
o May require a new regional structure (e.g. future San Mateo County Water Joint
Powers Authoriry) to for two primary reasons:
o create a regional entity/agency to receive federal funding, share costs, and
advocate effectively fo r state/federal fundi ng
o develop regional plan to address the issue, mother nature does not recognize
city boundaries
. 0ne guest speaker highlighted importance of imrpoved weather prediction capability
so cities can adequately prepare for storm surges. Currently meteorologists can
predict weather with the following accuracy:
o 7 daysout,Tjo/o accuracy
o 14 days out, only 7o/o accuracy - this must be improved
o County taking significant action, in large part due to Supervisor Dave Pine's
leadership:
o County co-sponsoring projects with local cities; currently investing $6 million
for mitigation efforts in most most vulnerable areas: SSF, Colma, Redwod City,
Belmont Creek

Beach Committee Report April 16, 2018
League of California Cities webinar in preparation for upcoming Legislative Action
Dav in Sacramento:
Major highlight: Scott Weiner's SB 827 has been amended in committee. Although it is
less aggressive than original bill, it still significantly limits our city's ability to shape
development around transit. Two important recent changes to this bill:
Height restrictions: SB 827 still exempts housing projects from locally developed and
adopted height limitations, densities, parking requirements, and design review
standards, but recent amendments relax originally proposed height requirements.
Currently:
buildings up to 55'tall are automatically permitted in the firstt/+ mile of fixed transit
and 45' in the second 7/+ mile around fixed transit station. Fixed transit stations are
defined as rail and ferry stations. Previously SB 827 proposed up to 105' height.
No longer automatic building height increase around qualifying bus stations.
However, parking requirements and density restrictions are still relaxed in these
areas - see next bullet for more information.
Parking minimums and free transit passes: No parking required within Y+mile of rail
or ferry station; however, a city may enforce up to y2 space per residential unit outside
of the first quarter mile or rail, transit, or around bus stops. Developers must provide
recurring monthly transit passes to all residents at no cost.
Senior Listening Session with Councilmembers Ortiz & Beach. Wednesday.4/11/2018
o Excellent discussion with approximately 15-20 seniors
o Staff will post notes on website here:
https : //www.burlingame.org/parksandrec/pro grams/seni ors.php
. Major concerns for seniors: affordability and affordable housing units for seniors,
development/growth concerns, sufficient parking. We discussed how
changes/development downtown is happening in accordance with our Downtown
Specific Plan, and the thinking behind density/height near transit stations.
o Cheryl Fama from Peninsula Health Care district attended. Confirmed PHCD's vision
for Peninsula Wellness Community includes 15olo below market rate
apartments in future 300 senior apartments, per PHCD's RFP to developers.
o Conversations with residents after the meeting surfaced three additional suggestions:
o Questionnaire to Burlingame seniors about what types of programming they'd
like to have at the Recreation/Community Center
o Desire for dedicated senior space at new Community Center - when not
programmed for senior activities, maintain as open/drop-in lounge for
community gathering space dedicated for seniors
