RESOLUTION NO. 120-2020
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME TOLLING ALL
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENTS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 21, 2021
WHEREAS, on March 3, 2020, the Health Officer of the County of San Mateo declared a
Local Health Emergency Regarding Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19); and
WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, via Resolution No. 33-2020, the City Council of the City
of Burlingame ("City Council") determined that a local emergency exists in the City of Burlingame
("City"); and
WHEREAS, these conditions warrant and necessitate measures to mitigate adverse
economic effects that may be experienced by businesses and property owners during this
emergency; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and declares that the global health emergency caused
by the COVID-19 outbreak is delaying the start and completion of construction of land
development projects, and the land use approvals for these projects are at risk of expiring; and
WHEREAS, because the processing, approval, and issuance of land use entitlements
represent a substantial investment of money, time, and effort toward the successful completion
of these projects, expiration of these entitlements represents a significant loss for the owners and
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to protect against this potential loss and preserve
development opportunities by granting additional time to the term of these entitlements; and
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2020, the City Council extended through December 31, 2020
development entitlements (Planning and Building) that expired or will be expiring between March
17, 2020 and September 30, 2020; and
WHEREAS, COVID-19 remains a threat, and further efforts are needed to control the
spread of the virus, which have implications on the timely start and completion of construction of
land development projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED:
The City Council resolves that timelines for valid, unexpired development entitlements
(Planning and Building) are tolled through September 21, 2021, at which point timelines shall
resume according to the terms of the respective entitlements.
