SPECIAL MEETING
Mayor Lembi convened a Special Meeting of the Burlingame CityCouncil in the City Ha11 Council Chambers at 6:33 p.m. with all
members present. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a
convention center or exhibit haII in the city and plans for the
County Fairgrounds.
City Manager summarized his memo of January 18 about recent
meetings $rith County officials and representatives of San Mateo,Millbrae, South San Francisco, Redwood City and Burlingameregarding the County Fairgrounds j-n San Mateo; the cities' TaskForce supports Option One, a less expensive reburbishing, and thespecial Blue Ribbon Committee supports Option Two includingadding 100,000 square feet with improvements totaling around 934mil1ion. Two of our major hotels support the idea of aconvention center in our city rather than contributing to thefairground improvements. Major obstacles to a Burlingamefacility are the need for voter approval to raise hotel tax forfunding, the high cost of 1and, a required annual subsidy forconvention centers, and risk to our general fund for any revenueor debt service shortfall.

compare costs of building ne\", facility versus using an existingbuilding in area, (2) explore use of outdoor theater site, and(3) recommend the best way to raise funding. She felt that ifraising the hotel- tax were fu11y explained to the voters theywould approve it.
Mayor Lembi said our hotels have expressed a strong desire to seesomething in Burlingame, he would support establishing acommittee, he would like to see the bottom Iine on financing andbe sure the cj.ty gets some benefit. Other cities are looking toBurlingame for direction. He was opposed to getting into the
Councilman Pagliaro also reviewed the recent meetingsi exhibithalls are money makers at the fairgrounds but because the showsare oriented toward local people they do not make money for ourhotels; the hotels !'rant a conventj-on center. The questions arehrhether to put money into the county fairgrounds or to buildsomething in Burlingamei where to put a facility if we build inBurlingame; whether to increase hotel tax or create a specialdistrict for funding. He favored conducting a study, it wouldbenefit the city and the county.
Councilwoman Barton agreed; if hotels dontt $rant to put moneyinto County Expo she suggests we look at alternatives. She hadlunched with John Steen, Convention Bureau, who felt a conventioncenter would not lose money. She suggested appointing acommittee to bring council figures. We may get support fromother cities, Millbrae has expressed an interest in a conventioncenter in Burlingame. She $rould not want to support a facilityfrom the general fund, and would not want the city to run it. Wemust move quickly, she would like this corunittee to report backto council within one month.
operation of a convention center and to making uP any deficit
from the general fund. He would like to hear from people
familiar with the convention center business.
Councifman Pagliaro supported aPPointment of a coNnittee; it
should not make a recommendation, but should gather facts for
council and explore various methods of financing. He did not
want to put asj-de the fairqrounds; some peoPle suggested selling
the fairgrounds and buying land here. If a nev, facility were
built there we could attract another Semicon type of show.

Councilwoman Barton agreed we should not rule out the
fairgrounds, but John Steen said there are not many Semicons out
thera. We should charge the committee with bringinq council some
ideas, council would make the decision. she suggested
appointing Dave Martin who was on the city's original convention
cLnter study and Irv Amstrup, they don't always agree and if they
could agree on a convention center she would trust their decision
because they would do their best for the city. She would also
like to see some hotel managers on the committee and John Steen
of the convention Bureau and Joe Harvey, City Treasurer.
council explored ideas for the committee to review; possible
locations ior a site and how to acquire such a site; cooperating
with fairgrounds; have a convention center specialist or
financial consultant available to the committee; Iike to see a
good balance on the committee; why not let co-chairmen pick
members of committee.
Joe Harvey suggested council give specific direction to the
committee. Rick Adie, Hyatt Hotel manager, suggested the
corunittee have an outside consultant to facilitate their study
and tell them what has been done in other places.
Councilwoman o'Mahony would like the committee to define the
problems, describe some possible locations and bring some options
to council. Councilwoman Barton said the hotels have said they
would like to see 15O,OO0 square foot facility. city Manager
informed council that 30 days may not be realistic time schedule.

councilwoman Barton said the conmittee needs to have financial
expertise; she has heard convention centers are white elephants,
y.t orrr hotels say we can have one without costing money; they
irust show her it can be done. Councilman Harrison said the time
is right for this study and money for a consultant would be well

APPEAL FOR SPECIAL PERMIT FOR SCHOOL USE AT 1 LORTON AVENUE
city Planner reviewed her memo of January 10 which recommended
council hold a public hearing and take action. The applicant and
property olrner, Eleanor Spare for Hillsborough Montessori, is
requesting a special permit to operate a Montessori preschooJ-/child
care center at 1 Lorton. The site is Located at the corner of
Lorton and Peninsula Avenues. The facility would be open Monday
through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. except 1ega1 holidays.
Two ful-l time and one part time employee woul-d staff the site.
There would be a maximum of 19 children on site at one time.
Children are picked up and defivered at the site, either by parents
or by the school van from their kindergarten classes. Presently the
school operates at North School in Hillsborough but is required to
relocate because North School will reopen in the faII. The Planning
corunission denied this request citinq concerns about parkinq and
safety for children on this busy street. Six letters of suPport and
one letter in opposition to the project were received after
preparation of the staff report.
Mayor Lembi opened the public hearing.

needed most.

school and did not think it would be a problem in Burlingame; it is

opposition was Jack Heffernan, 30 Lorton, he said he hadinst the operators of this business, it is a good j-dea

speeding was not from Bayshore but EI Camino; the seniorh 150 units being built across the street will increase

ing to drop off children; many parents come in and visitwith teachers and other parents and are there for half hour or so;
there is another Montessori school within a couple blocks in San
Mateoi this is no place for children, the yard is too small.
Ron Marlin, adjacent property owner, said the location leaves a 1otto be desired as a school site; this street is major feeder to
Bayshore from E1 Camino; parking is impossible when a service is
taking place at the funeral home on the block; he imagined the worst
scenario with rainy r.reather, a funera] service and the senior
housing across the street making parents double park and creating
danger to children.
Mr. Spare rebutted, stating the yard area j.s adequate, the State
reguires a certain amount of space for each child which they meet at
this site; he said most funeral-s take place in the evening, andtraffic on Peninsul-a j-s not comparable to E1 camino.
Mayor Lembi closed the public hearing.
councilvroman otMahony asked what was the square footage of the
housei Spare did not know, he thought the yard area h'as about 1500
sguare feet.
Councilman Harrison said there are three educators on the council
and they support child care and education, but traffic is a great
concern; he agreed lvith Planning Commissioner Mink's assessment of
the project and could not support approval.
councilhroman Barton said she had no objection to the project but
would like to see it in a different location; main problem here wastraffic; she had attended services at the funeral home and they wereall in the afternoon during the week; having parents pick up and
deliver children during commuting hours is a bad time for thisstreet; she would turn down this request.
councilman Harrison moved to uphold the Planning Commission denial.
Seconded by Councilwoman Barton.
Councifman Pagliaro said everyone speaks highty of the Montessori
program; he took umbrance to Spare's l-etter to the city Attorney
regarding a 'rhidden agenda" of the Planning Commission; he noted
that there are considerable problems with parent pickup of childrenat McKinley School; due to traffic problems, he would oppose.
Councilwoman o'Mahony said as an educator she felt badly about
turning this project down but was concerned about space and traffic.
Mayor Lembi said he had spoken to the city Attorney regarding a
possible conflict of interest and the City Attorney had determined
there was no conflict. He said he has traveled Peninsula Avenue for
six years going to and from work and he was very concerned about the
traf f ic .
The motion to uphold the Planning Commission denial was carried 5-0
on ro11 call vote.
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING AND SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE 1403 -
ADDING DEFINITIONS AND MAK]NG TECHNICAL CHANGES TO ZONING CODE
city Planner reviewed her memo of January 24 which recommended
counciL continue the public hearing and take action. on JanuarY 17
council held a public hearing on proposed housekeeping revisions to
the zoning code. A prospective tenant of a building in the c-4 zone
raised the issue of $rhether professional offices included real
estate offices. Council determined that this was an issue worth
469
pursuing and continued the public hearing directing staff to report
back on the issue before it took action on the ordinance. Staff
found an ambiguity in the original writing of the regulations for
the c-4 zone which was applied to a largely vacant area at the time
the regulations were vrritten. The ordinance required a condition
use permj-t for office buildings; other places in the code
conditional use permits are required for specific types of office
use. Based on office use timitations in other areas of the city,
staff has been prohibiting real estate uses in the c-4 zone. Staff
suggested that office buildings should continue to be a conditional
use in C-4, that reaL estate would be all-owed and that health
services which require greater parking requirements would beprohibited. Wording has been added to make these changes. In
addition it was brought to staff's attention that the definition of
financial institution did not include freestanding automatic te1ler
machines (ATM). Therefore banks could put ATM'S in the waII along
the sidewalk in any retail area independent of where the bank itself
was located. The wording has been amended to include ATM's.
Councilwoman o'Mahony asked if this would include ATM's at grocery
stores; staff responded Yes.
Mayor Lembi opened the public hearing.
Tom Hayes and a representative of the building at 1350 Bayshore
where Mr. Hayes has an office, inquired about a section of the
ordinance which staff pointed out referred to the Burlingame Avenue
area, they thanked council for the revisions to a1Iow real estate in
the c-4 zone and said they support the ordinance.
Mayor Lembi closed the public hearing.
Councilman Harrison moved adoption of ORDINANCE 1403. Seconded by
councilwoman Barton, carrj.ed unanimously by ro11 call vote.
Mayor Lembi caIled for a recess at 8:30 p.m. The meeting reconvened
at 8:38 with aI1 council members present.
DISCUSSION OF CONVENTION C ENTER COMMITTEE AND OF NEW CREEK ORDINANCE
Mayor Lembi informed the audience that at a Special Meeting earlier
this evening council had appointed Irv l\mstrup and Dave Martin as
co-chairmen of a committee to study a eonvention center in the city.
He also told the audience that while council was introducing the
creek ordinance tonight, it would not be discussed nor was there a
public hearing on it tonight, it would be discussed at the study
Meeting February 7 and the public hearing was February 21.
Councilman Harrison said he was going to ask for removal of the
creek ordinance from the Consent Calendar because of some concerns
about wording and that he would ask for introduction later as an
urgency ordinance.

APPROVING AMENDMENT TO BURLINGAME GENERAL PLAN - EDGEHILL DRIVE,
CALIFORNIA DRIVE AREA - SECOND READfNG AND ADOPTION - ORDINANCE 1404
AMENDING CODE TO ESTABLISH C -R DISTRfCT IN EDGEHILL/CALIFORNIA AREA
city Planner reviewed her memo of January 25 which recommended
council hold a public hearing and take action on the negative
declaration, rezoning and general plan amendment for 14 parcels
between EdqehiLl and California Drives. Since May 1989 the city
Council and Planning commission have studied alternatives for this
area; the alternatives before councj-1 tonight are (1) no change to
the special service and sales and c-2 zoning, (2) medium high
density residential and R-3 zoning or (3) a new mixed commercial
residential designation and c-R zone. This new c-R zone would allow
commercial development on the California Drive side of these lots
and residential development on the Edgehill Drive side or allresidential development.
Mayor Lembi opened the public hearing.
Sharon Cheek, resident of the area, agreed with the new C-R zoning;it is the best possible solution and addresses the issue of a
catastrophic Ioss to her property. She did not think not requiringparking on California for commercial use woul-d be a problem.
Vincent Struck, representing his aunt who owns property in the area,
also feLt comfortable with the C-R zoningi it's a good idea and a
smal1 business owner coul-d have a business there and live at thesite a1so.
Mayor Lembi closed the public hearing.
Council-woman Barton moved adoption of RESoLUTIoN 12-90 Approving
the Negative Declaration finding that on the basis of the initial
study and any comments received there is no substantial evidencethat the project would have a significant effect on the environment;
adoption of RESOLUTION 13-90 Approving Amendment to the General
PIan, Edgehi 11/ California Areai and adoption of ORDINANCE 1404
Amending zoning Code to Establish the c-R zone in the Edgehill
Drive/California Drive Area. Seconded by councilman Harrison,
carried unanimously by roII calI vote.
Councilman Harrison cornmended council, commission and staff on all
the work toward this solution for the Edgehi lllCalifornia area.
Mayor Lembi said the next agenda item of General PIan Amendment for
Airport Parking would be delayed until the arrival of a proponent
for the change.
SECOND READING - ORDINANCE 1406
BUS INESSES
- PROHIBITING THE OBSTRUCTION OF
city Attorney reviewed his memo of January 8 which recommended
council hold a public hearing and adopt the ordinance. The Police
Chief has asked for this ordinance prohibiting obstruction of access
to business properties due to the recent demonstration at Burroughs
Wellcome company. State law provides these demonstrators could have
been arrested on misdemeanor charges, but this would be very
expensive and time consuming because it allows an attorney at public
expense and a jury trial. The new ordinance will allow for arrests
for infractions which are more practical to prosecute and whichresult in a fine for the demonstrator.
Mayor Lembi opened the public hearing. There being no cornments, the
hearing was closed.
Councilwoman o'Mahony said she supported this ordinance for the
safety of 1aw abiding citj-zens and moved for adoption of oRDINANCE
l-406. Seconded by Councilman Harrison who acknowledged a letter
received from Mr. Aron objecting to this ordinance because of theright of people to have demonstrations; Harrison said this ordinance
guarantees the rights of property owners vrithout taking away rightof demonstrators. The motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
BEAUTIFICATTON COMMISSION APPO]NTMENTS
Councilwoman o'Mahony said she and Councilman Harrison had
interviewed several fine applicants. They both recommended
reappointment of Commissj-oners Gilmore and Root. Council concurred
on the reappointment of Gilmore and Root. councilwoman orMahony
nominated Mary Sjostrom and Councilman Harrison nominated Lynn
McDonald for the other vacancy. Councilwoman Barton nominated
Dennis Huaj ardo.

APPOINTMENT OF ALTERNATE DELEGATE TO ABAG
Mayor Lembi noted that ABAG is requesting that council appoint an
alternate delegate, Councilman Paglj-aro is the delegate to ABAG but
in his absence the alternate lvou1d have voting powers. Councilman
Pagliaro moved that Council\"roman o'Mahony be appointed. Seconded
by Councilwoman Barton, carried unanimously by voice vote.
CONSENT CALENDAR
councilman Harrison asked for removal of item A, Introduction of
Creek ordinance. He also commented on item E, Sidewalk Repair
Contract. He thought city should pick up the cost of all repairs
and not require that property o$rners pay for some repairs with city
paying for tree damages, perhaps this can be considered during next
year's budget planning. Staff said that property owners typically
pay about 20 percent of the total cost of sidewalk repairs.
Councilwoman OtMahony inguired about item K, Regulating City Parking
Lots, saying she had hoped to raise meter fees to increase the
parking fund reserves. other council members thought the public and
merchants would oppose that idea. Councilman Pagliaro wondered if
the amendment to contract with THM, item I, rras the consultant who
erred in doing the soils work on the Airport Boulevard project.
Staff replied no, that consultant was in item J which staff has
removed from the consent Calendar.

J udith A. MalfattCity Clerk
City Planner reviewed her memo of January 26 which recommended
council hold a public hearing and take action to approve the
negative declaration, general plan amendment and modification of
provisions for the C-4 zone. Metropark is presently operating the
long term airport parking facility in the Anza Area and wishes to
expand the facility. However the present use is nonconforming and
not allowed under the Specific Area Plan and zoning. In order to
expand the use both the General Plan-speeific Area PIan and
implementing zoning need to be amended. The present plan is to make
an amendment to allow long term airport parking as an interim or
temporary use. In addition a modification of the C-4 zoning
district is requested to provide specific criteria for such use.
The negative declaration addresses this use in the entire Bayfront
area but the Planning Commission determined that the use was more
appropriate in only the Anza Area except for frontage along Lang and
Beach Roads. Adoption of the negative declaration is stilI
appropriate since it would al-so apply to the smaller portion of the
area .
