Council in Conference Room B of the Burlingame City Hall at 8:10 p.m.

woman Barton pointed out that police reports indicated 30 percent ofall calls occurred between 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. After furtherdiscussion, Council requested that the City Attorney change the pro-posed ordinance Section 25.36.036 3 (a) to establish a maxj_mum heightlimit of 18 feet and 25.36.036 (h) to require open areas betweenstructures and residential areas be secured in such a way as to pro-hibit public access.

problems; others must be shared by property orrner. Councilwoman
Barton expressed concern regarding hardship cases. The City Managerstated that there are methods of handling such cases, with extensionof ti,me, property leins, taxes, etc. Council concurred with followingour current municipal code vrhich provides for property owners to be

6- State Legislatj-on Second Units, R-1 (Granny Apartments)
The City Attorney explained that the law provides for three possibil-
ities for an ordinance: (1) adopt the ordinance with certain criterias
of your own, (2) be subject to the State 1aw that has its own standards,
or (3) adopt an ordinance prohibiting them. San Bruno has prohibited
granny units because of some of the same concerns that one might have
in Burlingame; i.e., traffic, sewer Iines, utifities, etc. San Mateo
is proposing an ordinance with restrictions. The Council expressed
differing opinions in a discussion which ensued. Council directed the
City Attorney to prepare a l-ist of findings giving various alternatives:(1) reasons that would be against passing the ordinance (streets, sewers,
traffic, etc. ), (2) A check list of kinds of restrictions which could
be placed if adopted. The City Planner stated that no amend.ment to the
ceneral Plan is required. This legislation is effective JuIy 1, 1983
or 120 days after receiving a second unit application.
