RESOLUTION NO. 135-2020
WHEREAS, as a result of the oral and written testimony presented at the October 19,
2020 public hearing, as well as the analysis in the staff report, the City Council hereby makes the
following findings relative to each aspect of the project application:
Design Review Findings:
■ That the proposed project supports the pattern of diverse architectural styles that
characterize the City's mixed -use area with a grand canopy that unifies the building
massing horizontally along the angled slip road and articulates the position of the
upper residential floors from the main body of the office floors.
■ That the subject property is a gateway site that will provide a new scale of building
and a new type of architecture with a mix of uses added to this area. This visually
prominent, gateway site has been designed with a strong punched opening
expression that anchors both facades at El Camino Real and Trousdale Drive and
will maintain a transparency to acknowledge this important part of the building.
• That the design respects and promotes pedestrian activity by providing a public
plaza on the El Camino Real frontage, which wraps around to Trousdale Drive.
The plaza is sized relative to the building and provides an opportunity for outside
passive recreation, with new street trees, planters, and amenities while creating
activity along the route to the nearby transit opportunities.
■ That the facade also has additional layering of the fagade with extended slab
edges to provide more depth on the corners, with an extended cantilevered slab
at the second floor that is 8-feet beyond the face of the building to provide
additional pedestrian coverage and a strong corner emphasis.
■ That the proposed building materials would include a stone base tile (dark almond
porcelain), vision glass, spandrel glass, pre -cast concrete panels
(white/almond/light gray), and glass hand rails. For the reasons above the project
may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's mixed -use
design review criteria.
Conditional Use Permit Findin
■ That the proposed project will not be detrimental or injurious to property or
improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
general welfare, or convenience, in that the mixed of uses proposed is consistent
with the intent and allowable uses in the NBMU District;
■ That the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with
the Burlingame General Plan and the purposes of this title, in that it provides a mix
of uses on a prominent corner property determined to be suitable for such use in
the Zoning Code and Burlingame General Plan, that the site is close to transit
options and centrally located to shops and service that won't require typical
vehicular travel;

58. Provide Acoustical Treatments for Mechanical Equipment. - The applicant shall provide
acoustical treatments for the proposed emergency generator to reduce noise levels to
below the 60 d8A Leq daytime threshold for mechanical equipment, as determined by a
qualified acoustical consultant. In addition, the applicant shall provide acoustical
treatments for the proposed HVAC equipment to reduce noise levels to below the
nighttime noise limit of 50 d8A Leq at the property line, as also determined by a qualified
acoustical consultant. Selected acoustical treatments must ensure that noise levels will be
below the 60 d8A daytime and 50 d8A nighttime thresholds, as applicable, in accordance
with the noise limitations specified in the Municipal Code. Treatments may include, but are
not limited to:
Installing stationary equipment as far as possible from off -site noise -sensitive land
uses and the property line to reduce noise levels at adjacent parcels,
Constructing enclosures around noise -generating mechanical equipment,
Placing barriers around the equipment,
Using mufflers or silencers on equipment exhaust fans,
Orienting or shielding equipment to protect sensitive uses to the greatest extent
feasible,
Limiting the testing of emergency generators to daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m.);
Transportation
59. Traffic Control Plan: - Prior to issuance of grading and building permits, the applicant shall
