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. councilman Harrison said city had a study done 13 years ago aboutconvention centers, but th e ideike t weccitie attfair Nort election was lost because it was poorty presented to the pe She noted that the county fairground benefits all the citiethe county. She \"rouLd like to explore the idea of a conven Councilwoman O'Mahony concurred with the idea of a corffnittewould like to see some convention center management expertithis comnittee. She mentioned that if SCA 2 is approved init may help by allowing simple majority voter approval to rfunds for public projects. She thought the 1987 fairground he time. He did not Igrounds and he thoughthern San Mateo County a was not acceptable to the publico see city funds go to the countyould get support from others for something in Burlingame. e and se on June ai se opIe.sintioncenter in Burlingame and do so quickly. The comnittee should (1) 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. and Irv Adie, Marketing 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 was not ready to spend money on consultant' councj.Iwoman otMahony said one advantage to hiring a consul-tant would be the issue would be done more quickly, rather than having the corunittee come back to council and then hiring a consultant' 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 ip."t] Council memberl suggested John Root of the Fairgrounds be on the committee. Councilman Pagliaro suggested letting the committee begin meetings and isk staff to look into consultants before the next meetin[. Councilwoman Barton asked that the cornrnittee choose a """="f[."t and bring their recomnendation to the next meeting' councilman Pagliaro moved to appoint this committee to study (1) the size and type of facj-lity Burfingame needs, (2) what sites are available,-i 3) what fairground improvements !',e might support, ""a tal what ]iind of financing could be used for any and all of ih.=e p.opot.ls.

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. Anthony Spare, husband of the a day care operators, they have t addressed objections of Planninin the garage and driveway of t toading zone on Lorton and buil pplicant, said they are experj-enced vro other facilities in San Mateoi heg Commission, staff parking would be will add new fences and landscaping, showed illustrasite on overhead projector; he objected to issue of on Peninsula from Bayshore since the freeway is so f objected to being compared to Saint Catherine's scho he house; they wouldd another walkway to apply for athe entrance itions of the people speedingar away and heoI which has 150 children who all arrive and leave at the same timei he thought the senior facility rrould not conflict with his project; he said they would be good neighbors because the school would not operate in evenings and on weekends and would therefore not impact parking when needed most. F.our other persons spoke in favor; had children who attended the school and did not think it would be a problem in Burlingame; it is not a money making business, but an excellent educational experience the children; Mary Janney, high school board member, said she a long standing corrunitment to children and knew of the desperate d for child care, this would be a tremendous comnunity resourceis site had been another person's home from 1950 to 1970 and it is ight and airy home, it would be great for children. for had neerhial 468 Speaking nothingbut in a traf f ic hous ing traf f ic ; home and Avenue p double p in aga ba and wit pr tw ark ark opposition was Jack Heffernan, 30 Lorton, he said he hadinst the operators of this business, it is a good j-dea d place; too close to EI camino ReaI, reference to speeding was not from Bayshore but EI Camino; the seniorh 150 units being built across the street will increase esently there are four parking spaces in front of the o on the side, many people who work near Burl-ingame here and walk to work; he was concerned about parents 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. Councilwoman Barton t as concerned about the ti the ordinance. city Attorney said in order fo to be effective before the lapse of the Urgenc reekside Development on March 20 night.

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.

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.

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. Removed.

Mayor Lembi thanked the Fire Chief for the demonstration by fire fighters to school children at city HalI during a school tour last week. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was regularly adjourned at 9:35 p.m. 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 .
