A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
CONDITIONALLY ALLOWING SARES REGIS GROUP TO SUBMIT DEVELOPMENT
PLANS INVOLVING A PORTION OF CITY PARKING LOT E AND DIRECTING
STAFF TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT PERMITTING ACCESS TO
SUBSURFACE AREAS UNDER A PORTION OF LOT E IN FAVOR OF THE PRIVATE
DEVELOPMENT AT 220 PARK ROAD
WHEREAS, the owner of the historic Post Office property located at 220 Park Road has
partnered with Sares Regis Group Operating, Inc. to develop the Post Office property in a manner
consistent with the existing historic covenant; and
WHEREAS, the site at 220 Park Road is significantly constrained by the historic property
located on it as well as other conditions including an underground culvert that traverses a portion
of the site and a portion of the City's adjacent Parking Lot E; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide adequate parking for the proposed development on the
Post Office site, the developer has determined that a portion of the subsurface area under Lot E
would need to be included in the project's parking; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to redevelop at least a portion of the surface of Lot E into a
public plaza; and
WHEREAS, the developer has proposed to allow the public access to the project's parking
during night and weekend hours when it is not in use by the project's tenant; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the developer's conceptual plan for the project
and has determined that it is in the City's interest to build out the public plaza in cooperation with
the Post Office project; and
WHEREAS, the Council wishes to negotiate a suitable agreement covering access rights
by the 220 Park Road project to a portion of the subsurface area under Lot E in exchange for
various advantages to the public including access to the existing culvert where it runs under the
Post Office parcel, the right to use the project's parking on nights and weekends, and other terms,
and any such agreement would be contingent on the project's successful completion of the
planning entitlement process;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. Sares Regis Group is granted the right to submit a project for planning entitlements and
review that includes a portion of the subsurface area under City Parking Lot E in order to
accommodate the anticipated parking structure for the proposed development at 220 Park Road;
2. That the grant of this limited right does not confer any other rights in or to the City's
property in question;
3. That staff is directed to negotiate an appropriate agreement or other legal instrument for
the transfer of rights in favor of the project development at 220 Park Road for access to the
required subsurface area under City Parking Lot E in exchange for consideration to the City;
4. That such agreement shall be presented to Council for consideration and shall be
contingent on the project's successful completion of the City's land use entitlement process and
any related environmental and historical review;
5. That because of the contingent nature of this resolution, the City has not committed to any
definite course of action in regard to the proposed project at 220 Park Road that would require
environmental review at this time.
