(CONTINUED FROM 20. 1978) Mayor Crosby requested report from Clty,Planner. The City Planner reviewed prLvioris actton on thts spectal permit approved by the Planning Commisslon on February 27 wittr ten conditions. He stated one of Eis concerns had been with the 30r front setback required tn C-4 areas, and the Planntng Commisslon dtd recommend that theportion of this parking that would become permanent (Sheraton i'arking) should have a-30r setback. Another concern he had was that an'adequate street rtght-of-way be dedtcated to the City -ifand when an access road was needed. The Planning Commlssion dld not act on this recommendation. The City Planner explained stqe plan and further details of this applicailon whtch ii fox a L6\ aire area to be used for 10 years. This area had prevtously included a L.33 acle slte to be used for Sheraton oarkins. but thls ts now not a condttLon. He noted the Planning bommisEion had recommended parktng be Limited to 1900 spaces totaL; and emphasized that this L6t acres comPrises about 13% of the total area covered by the Blayney study. He identified the main concerns of Counctl as the location of the Sheraton Land swap in respect to thls appltcatlon and the prospect of a futurestreet right of way. Mayor Crosby opened publlc heartng on this appltcatlon. Mr. David Keyston addressed Councll , referring to hts Letter of March 22, t978 on thts project. Ilis main potnts were that this use ls appropriate in thts locatton near the City park or futuregolf course; the parking slte would favor the proposed on-off CALL TO ORDER A regular meettng of the Burl lngame City Counctl was held on the above date in City llall Councll Chambers.

He added he thought park and fly was a neededactivtty in that area whether o! not the alea was fully developed. He thought it a good servlce and noted the Blayney meetlng of Saturday, Aprtl L had brought out that there would be some sortof park and fly in that area for some time to come. Mr. Keystonreplled that the time period of Een years was vltal since there was a possibility of selllng some of this property, and if it is sold for a use such as this, the use has to be long enough to get some reasonable ftnancing. In response to the Councilman'sfurther question, he agreed there would be no improvements that would be in the way of an access road in the future. Councilman Amstrup declared hts reasons for calling thts permit up as: 1. The 100 spaces being consideied for Sheraton parking at the time of the approval , and the fact that the Cityet declded on the location of the land trade; 2. Th posed for this Land whi.ch may conflLct with the final the Blayney report; 3.

At the Mayorrs request for background review, the Clty Planner recalted he. reporCed at the March 6 meeting that the envlronmental assessment had-been completed and that tt was his flndlng that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be prepared. Subsequently' detailed check of preltminary plans was made. Planner submttted the following data to give Clty Council an idea of the scope of the proj ec t : L. Proposed building would occupy 2\ acxes, 2L% of site Landscaped, 30t front setback, srea covered by structute 25"/" gross floor area 92,000 sq. ft,, Floor Area Ratto (FAR) 0.98, indlcating less floor area than land. 2. Required parking 307 spaces ' plans show 288, L9 spaces short. Additionally, there has been no design of medtans in Alrport Boulevard for exiting. Tvo-Level parking destgn shows single L2T Lane driveway. Staff suggested a secondary exit to the east,that appears on new rendering shown to Councll . Planner stated more time is needed to revtse plans, reduce floor area so that parking would be sufftctent. Staff does not haveelevattons, but the-bulldlng would be less than 50r in hetght. This seems to be a major project with substantial adverse im-pacts on traffic. An EIR would reveal this. Publtc Works has reviewed prellmlnarles and concurs in parklng deflciency and probLems with driveway Locatlon. Further, the selrer servicingthat site crosses the freeway, thence down Rolltns Road. A new main ls proposed when Alrport Boulevard ls completed. Thtsproject appears uncertaln, as do other appllcations ln that area,principally because of office butlding traffic impact. Planner noted that land use for office buildings is one option to Council on how that 2h acres should be used. - Mayor Crosby recognlzed Mr. John Raiser, Raise Company.

Re ledge, there Councilman tlartin stated the prlmary concern apPears to be whether or not the project will requlre an EIR. Clty Planner stated hls recommendatlons and ftndtngs lndlcated there should be. CounciL- man Martin thought that nuah of the EIR work has been done through the BLayney rep6rt. He tndicated agreement $tth Planner's pos- ttion, but preferred that actlon on project be delayed untiL Blayney repbrt is at hand. It was hls position that all permits in this area should be stopped untll CounciL resolved the questlon of eventuaL use, espectaLLy since Blayney mentions resldential use in two of its repotts. CI dat of eed as ist osby recognized Davld H. Keyston of Anza SharehoLderrs ing Trust, who explalned he did not wish to belabor the delay, but Councll had adopted a poltcy that EIRs were ed for study area permlts unless they were requlred for pects of the code. Thts proJect meets every requirement lng code except for what nos, appears to be a moratorium by garding sewer servlces, he stated that, to hts know-ls no change antictpated ln the system inasrnuch as it r22 was deslgned to servtce thls area. Posstbly, the full use ofthe pump station may need to be increased some day. Sewer system was built to City speciftcattons and shouLd sattsfy requlrements for this project. Councilman Amstrup noted that a sizeable sum vJas allocated forconsultants t repoits so that the Council might have expert ad-vice on the best use of the bayfront land. He referreil to aseries of meetlngs at Commlssion and Councll Level for theexpress purpose of revlewLng Blayneyrs material, stated hls pos-ition there should be no actlon on this project at thls tlme, and expressed the hope that CounclL declsion can be nade earlierthan the.

Thts may require a separate study and be to the developerrs advantage. Mayor Crosby, taking cognizance of Council ts lnclination towarddelay untll the report has had ln-depth study, stated he, too,felt tt would be rather premature to act on thts project at thlsttme. _ He e:lpressed the hope that the studtes can be expedtted to some form of action.

She statedthat parents realize the warrants are probably not met, but the potentiaL for accldent remains. Further, thts is probably the only lntersection on El Camino where elementary school students cross without an aduLE guard; other intersections, such as llillside Drlve and at McKinley School have crosstngguards. She asked if warrants are met at those crosslngs. Since Coolidge School closed, chtldren from that area cross at AdeLine, another unguarded lntersection. Mayor Crosby asked about Hillslde and McKinley School inter-sections. Ctty Manager teported guards are there but he was unable to state tf warrants sre met or not. Mrs. Scott re- ported a police offlcer attended one of the P.T.A. meettngs ind indtcated to her that those two intersecttons did not satisfy warrants. She constdered it vital that the chiLdren have supervised crossing at EL Camtno. Councilman Amstrup asked if there had ever been a guard at Ray Drlve. Mrs. Scott replied she had been told there had.

Mavor Crosbv acknowledged a memo@ssei to ctty- llanager from Traf f ic Engtneer regardlng proposed bus route change. Clty Manager explained that that the routes to be deleted are not being used and are a dupltcation of regtonal service. Sam- Trans wtLL extend some of the routes from San Mateo into Burlingame so there wtll be Ehe same amount of bus service on the stieets as.plesently except a little ptece off of Primtose Road. The reason for thls is that these routes ale not cost effectlve. Sam Trans, to assure funding from Metropolitan Transportation Commlsslon, oust recover at Least 357" of the cost of operatton from the fare box. One route tn the Ctty only re- coveis 16%, anothet ?%, and the other about 9%. One route collects about $20 in fares and it costs about $357. to oPerate the bus. About $2.26 fox every passenger carrted ts being subsldized. The tdea tn the proposed route change is to try to be a llttle more cost effectlve with approximately the same amount of service. For lnstance, lt will be necessary to watk just about a block from where the bus stops on Callfornia Dr1ve to go to the Library. Councilman Amstrup mentioned he spoke wlth the bus people and they are planntng to ellminate Route 34C. He satd that lf this is done L21 ir to could work a hardshlp on the senior citizens who want to go the Library. He opposed removal of 34C. The Clty Manager reported that Sam Trans is Looking at all the routes in all of the cities. At Councilman Amstrup rs suggestion, the City l"lanager was re- quested to invlte a representattve of Sam Trans to the next reguLar meeting to expLatn their policy. 3. luxiliaries nnnu ing Mayor Crosby asked City Manager to arrange another night forthis meetlng. as April 28 was not convenient for the Council. 4.

The applicant Learned this when applying for a butlding permit. Mr. Keyston stated that when the use was approved Mr. Fash retained an architect to seek out as many new parks as possible ln an effort to lmprove design over the original presented to the City CounctL.

Mayor Crosby asked for the addttional parktng to be shown on the ptan. The City Attorney asked.-if the Study Area Permit applies tothat area described as "No Work Thls Area." Mr. Keyston ex- plained this portion ts part of the lease to the skateboardpeople. He wtll di.scuss !'rith Mr. Fash an alternattve whereby he (Keyston) will glve some of the parklng in the front to Fash and take back some of the rear portlon of the adjacentparcel to prevent creatlon of a Land-Locked parcel. Mr. Keyston commented that Mr. Fash should return to the Councilif he wlshes to develop the land at the tear. Mr. Fash stated without on-street parktng hls only alternative is to furnish adequate usable parking. City Attorney asked Councit if it lvanted the I1 additlonal sPaces at thts time.
