The City Council of the City of Burlingame, California resolves as follows:
WHEREAS, the US-101/Broadway Interchange Reconstruction Project (Project) was
completed in October 2017 by Caltrans as the lead agency in close collaboration with the City of
Burlingame and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA); and
WHEREAS, the Project consisted of reconstruction of the Broadway/US-101 Interchange,
which provided improvements to Broadway, US-101 on and off -ramps, Rollins Road, Bayshore
Highway, and Airport Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the Project also included improvements to reduce traffic congestion, facilitate
access, and enhance bicycle and pedestrian access and safety, and there were aesthetic
improvements constructed including a new decorative gateway entry feature, retaining walls, and
bio swales with landscaping and irrigation; and
WHEREAS, as part of the new Interchange design, the Caltrans and City rights -of -way
(ROWs) were modified to fit the new Interchange and facilities that are owned and maintained by
each agency; and
WHEREAS, some of the previously Caltrans-owned ROW parcels were transferred to the
City and are now part of the City -owned and maintained ROW, including the intersection of
Broadway/Rollins Road and the intersection of Airport Boulevard/Broadway; and
WHEREAS, the intersection of US-101 northbound on and off -ramps and Old Bayshore
Highway (Parcel 62649-1, "Parcel 1") was reconfigured to include Caltrans facilities including the
new traffic signal and associated appurtenances, and the ROW between Rollins Road and the
newly constructed US-101 southbound on -ramp (Parcel 62651-1, "Parcel 2") was modified to
include the new Caltrans facilities; and
WHEREAS, to accommodate the newly constructed Caltrans facilities at both of these
locations and establish clear ROW limits for each agency, a transfer of Parcels from the City to
Caltrans is necessary via Quitclaim Deed; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Surplus Land Act (Government Code section 54220 et seq.),
prior to disposing of land, the City Council must declare the land to be "surplus land" or "exempt
surplus land," and support such declaration by written findings.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED, DETERMINED AND ORDERED BY THE
COUNCIL, AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City Council of the City of Burlingame finds all of the facts recited above and in
the staff report to be true and correct.
2. Pursuant to Government Code section 54221(b)(1), the City Council of the City of
Burlingame determines Parcels 1 and 2 to be exempt surplus land under the Surplus
Land Act. In support of such determination, the City Council makes the following
findings:
a. Pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(C), Parcels 1 and 2 are in
exchange for other property necessary for the City's use; namely Parcels 1 and 2
are in exchange for parcels received from Caltrans consistent with the Project, and
those parcels received from Caltrans are necessary for the implementation and
delivery of the Project; and
b. Pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(D), Parcels 1 and 2 are to be
transferred to a state agency, Caltrans, for the state agency's use as part of the
Project; and
c. Pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(E), Parcels 1 and 2 are to be
conveyed to Caltrans as owner of the properties adjacent to the parcels; and
d. Pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(B), Parcel 2 is approximately
833 square feet, which qualifies it for the exemption for parcels less than the 5,000
square feet.
3. The City Council directs staff to transmit a copy of this resolution to the state
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
4. If HCD does not contest the determination of Parcels 1 and 2 as exempt surplus land,
the City Council of the City of Burlingame authorizes the Director of Public Works to
execute a Quitclaim Deed, in the form attached hereto, to transfer Parcels 1 and 2 to
Caltrans as part of and consistent with the US Highway 101/Broadway Interchange
Reconstruction Project.
