I. CAR WASH LANDS OF SOUTITERN PACIF'IC APPROVED
Mayor Amstrup announced that this was the time and place
scheduled to conduct a public hearing on the appeal of Cable
Car wash Co., Inc., from the Planning Commj.ssion denial of a
special use permit for a car wash on Southern Pacific Company
right of way fronting Carolan Avenue, southerly of Broadway.
oreste Mencarini, Burlingame High School student, asked the
City Council to consider establishing a recycJ.ing center where
tin, aluminum, glass and bi-metals would be deposited and the
work of sorting performed by volunteers from the high school
and the community at large. The City Manager pointed out there
are receptacles at the Municipal disposal area for Public use
for rleposit of cans and newspapers. It was his recommendation
that Mr. Mencarini's proposal be explored at a study meeting.
Council concurred; Mayor Amstrup invited Mr. Mencarini to be
present.
The City Planner, in response to the Chair, reviewed the
background of the application, commenting that the most
recent action by the Ptanning Commission took place at a
meeting on February 28, L972' vrhen the use permit was denied
or, . .ro!. of five Lo two, reaffirming the identiial vote
when the matter was first heard by the CoNnission in l{arch, 1971.
The City Planner recallecl that in an appeal hearing .apProximatelya year igo the Council upheld the Comnission's action, one of
th- prinrary reasons appearing to be failure on the part of
Southern Pacific ComPany to join in the application.
The City Planner cliscussed issues that were raised at the

Pacj.f ic for improvements on Carolan Avenue, there has been
no indication from the Company as to its interest in the
application.
The Chair declared the hearing open and invited comments from
the proponents.
Mr. Cyrus J. McMiltan, attorney for the applicant, produced
a letter dated February 23, L972, from Southern Pacific Land
Company, signed by D.G. Baldwin stating"This is to advise
that Southern Pacific Transportation Company aPproves use of
its property for a car wash and approves the application of
caule clr wish for special permit to alfow for building of
a car wash on southern Pacific Transportation Company proPerty
at Broadway extending 600 feet along Carolan Avenue." (A
copy of tha letter is on file in the office of the city C1erk.)
Mr. McMill"an noted that Southern Pacific Company has agreed
to payment of $5,000.00 toward Carolan Avenue street improve-
ments as a condition to approval of the use permit.
Mr. McMillan stated that one member of the Planning Com-
mission announced his intention of voting against the Project
because at some time in the future it may interfere h'ith the
right of way for rapid transit. Mr. McMillan questioned
whether this could be considered a valid reason for denial .
He maintaj.ned that the proposed use does not qualify as a
service station as defined in the zoning ordinance, that the
dispensing of gasoline is an incidental part of the car wash
opeiation. He pointed out that automobile repair shops seL1
gisoline as a service to their customers, citing Hower Auto
nepair as an example, and stated that that operation certainly
woild not be clasaified a service station. He referred to
the code provision that there shall be a distance of 490 feet,
excfusive-of intervening streets, between service stations,
suggested that the intent was to prevent service stations on
a1i-four corners of every major intersection in the city and
that the proposed location should not be considered a subject
for application of the distance restriction.
Mr. McMillan reported that cable Car Wash operations in the
cities of Napa lnd oavis have been acknowledged by city
officiaLs as- suitable additions to the business communities'
He stated that the project proposed for eurlingame will
prove equally acceptable by improving vacant land that has
Leen neglected and by offering a service that is virtually
non-existent in the city.
I'1r. Mclqillan stated that the structure proper is about 80 feet
by 24 feet, that one of the ad.vantages of the location is
airple space for on-site parking--there should be no problem
of cars lining the street with 16 to 18 off-street spaces
availabLe.
Mr. George Altamura, Partner in Cable Car Wash Company 'informed the council that the driveway nearest Broadway has
been relocated 40 feet back from the intersection and the
intervening strip wiIl be landscaped as required.by the city'
Mr. Altamuia reported that the facility in the City of-Davis
was built on southern Pacific Company property that had
been a problem area for many yearsi in Napa a permit was
granted after city officials inspected the operation-in Davis'
fie reported that taxes in Davis approximate 54,000.00
a.,rruaily, based on market value of $116,000.00. He stated
that the investment in Burlingame will approximate $100,000.00'
CorNnents were invited from the f1oor.

there is a need in Burlingame for a car wash.
lfr. william Hauser, Chamber of Commerce General Manager,
reported that he receives inquiries periodically about the
lack of car wash services and, since the recent press pub-
Iicity in connection with the current proposal , has had
ca1ls from individuals and automobile dealers interested in
having the service here.
There were no further comments from the floor.
Mayor aristiup -cknovr.ledged communications from the Broadway
Burlingame Area Merchants Association and from Rector cadillac
in opposition to the project on the grounds that the location
is not suitable.
The hearing was declared closed.
Councilman Mangini agreed that the service is needed in the
city but he was troubled because of the critical traffic
situation that exists in the Broadway-Carolan area and
additional hazards that may be created by motorists attenpting
to cross against oncoming traffic to enter the property.
Councj.lman Martin asked for clarification from the City
Attorney as to the basis on which the land and improvements
will be assessed and the cj.ty collect its taxes.
The City Attorney explained that the City of Burlingame
receives tax money on southern Pacific Property, the city's
tax rate being applied by the county assessor on the assessed
valuation furnished by the State Board of Equalization; with
respect to leasehold improvements, the tenant will have an
assessory interest tax to pay on an assessed valuation
determined by the county assessor.
Councilman Johnson inquired concerning rights qf Southern
Pacific Company to build on its right of way.
The City Attorney explained that it aPpears to be the Companyrs
position that it is not subject to the city's zoning ordinance
and that it has the right to use the property as it pleases,
$rhether railroad uses or not. He stated that if an operating
unit of the railroad were proposed, perhaps this woufd not be
subject to city approval but, in his opinion, where there is
anything but railroad uses ProPosed, the Company must conform
to zoning regulations.
Councilman Crosby referred to a building on Southern Pacific
property at Howard Avenue, formerly a freight shed and used
in recent years as a privately operated ham radio supply out-
Iet. The City Attorney reported the tenant was granted a
use permit by the Planning Commission.
Responding to Councj.lman Crosby's inquiry concerning use of
a high intensity blower, Mr. McMillan stated that none of
the equipment produces excessive noise. Mr. McMillan read
a letter from a representative of the City of Napa confirming
that there have been no problems of traffic congestion or
noise resulting from the operation in that city.
Mr. Altamura reported that in Napa the wash is located 60
feet from a mobile home park, that the hours are limited
to 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and the location is on a corner
of a prominent intersection carrying heavy traffic.
Councilman Crosby referred to Mr. McMillan's statement that
the operation d.oes not conform to the concept of a service
station as defined in the zoning ordinance and requested
the city Attorney to corunent. The latter reported that
Mr. McMillan and city staff are not in agreement in this area,
that the former Cj,ty Planner ceorge Mann held that the appli-
cants were vrrong, the present Planner agrees and he, personally,
believes they are urrong. The City Attorney reported the appli-
cant was asked if he could operate without the sale of gas
and he replied in the negative, which would indj.cate this is
an important part of the operation. Commenting that
Mr. McMj.llan, in debating the issue of the service station
classification, discussed the services his client will not per-
form, the city Attorney stated it is significant that the
applicant wilI not be offering any services outside of the
components of the definition of a service station--he will
se1I gasoline and wash cars.
The City Attorney noted that a garage is for the purpose of
repairs, gasoline sales or car wash is incidental, just as
a gasoline pump or car wash is wholly incidental to the sale
of new automobiles. ?he city Attorney reported he could
find no difficulty in staff's position that the proposal is
a service station within the meaning of the zoning ordinance.
Mayor Amstrup commented on the city's past disagreements
lrith the Southern Pacific Company and pointed out that in
recent discussions with Company representatives it became
evident that they were interested in cooperatinq r^rith the city,
they agreed to give the city $5000.00 as their share of the
cost of street improvements on Carolan Avenue and also to
initiate improvements in the area of the Burlingame Avenue
depot. He stated that any difficulties that may have existed
should not be carried over to an individual who is attempting
to open a legitimate business. Mayor Amstrup suggested that
perhaps the project could be relocated farther south, therebyproviding a parking area close to Broadsray, as requested by
the merchants.
Councj-Iman Crosby agreed that if parking were made availableit would be helpful in overcoming the merchants' objections.
Councllman Martin commented that the Southern Pacific Company
has agreed to certain requests made by the city recently and,
on the basis of such agreements, he would prefer not to
attempt to interfere in arrangements for the location of the
car wash. He suggested that perhaps the Market Street Railway
right of way south of Carmelita Avenue could be made avail-
able to businesses on Broadway for parking. IIe recorunended
approval of the use permit.
There was discussion concerning the parking prohibition on
the west side of Carolan Avenue between oak Grove Avenue and
Cadillac Way. The suggestion was made that the parking
situation in the Broadway area might be improved if the ordinance
were amended or repealed. The matter was referred to the Chief
of Police for investigation and report.
Responding to Councilman Johnson, Mr. McMillan confirmed that
40 feet. of frontage will be landscaped in accordance with the
Park Superintendent ' s requirements.
Councilman Johnson explained that the Council has been con-
cerned with the appearance of the right of way and endeavoring
to find some solution. She stated that she hras convinced of
the need for a car wash and was satisfied that the proposal
would meet the need and, for that reason, would support the
application.
Mayor Amstrup asked Mr. Altamura to discuss the possibility
of landscaping a strip along the right of hray on the opPosite
side of Broadway adjacent to Bekins' property with the people
at southern Pacific. The Mayor also suggested that the
right of way north of Broadway might provide an excellent bike
route .

2. SIGN FOR SKYLINE TERRACE APARTMENTS APPROVED.
Uayor Amstrup announced that this was the time and place
scheduled by the Council on its own motion to conduct a pub-
lic hearing in the matter of a permit approved by the Planning
Commission for a si-gn display at Skyline Terrace Apartments,
3133-3I55 Frontera way.
At the Chair's invitation, the City Planner initiated thediscussion by referring to the variance granted several years
ago for development of the complex on property classified
f irst-residential and to the developers failure to followthrough on certain improvements that were promised. ThePlanner reported that last year two i1lega1 signs wereordered removed from the property, which was done beforeChristmas. He stated that the current application is foran "identifying sign" to be placed on the eastern edge ofthe property facing Trousdale interchange with 280; theappLicants report the sign is for identification purposesonly, that it is not necessary to post rental signs as thereare waiting lists and that some form of outdoor display willbe needed to identify the property when the new apartmentsare completed on the Millbrae side.
The City Planner described the sign as 28 square feet inslze, 3 feet 9 inches high by 7 feet 5 inches wide; thePlanning Commj.ssion agreed that the sign could be mounted2 feet above ground leve1 for an overall height of 5 feet9 inches.
In response to Councilman Mangini, Mr. McMillan confirmedthat sign displays are not a part of the application forthe use permit.
Councilman Martin introduced a motion approving the applica-tion of Cable Car Wash Co., Inc., for special use permit toconstruct and operate a car wash on a portion of property
owned by Southern Pacific Company on the following conditipns:1. The use to be restricted to an area 600 feet in lengttrsouth from Broadway and west of Carolan Avenue; 2. SouthernPacific Company to pay to the city a sum of 56,000.00 forits share of street improvements on Carolan Avenue;3. 40 feet of the Carolan Avenue frontage, measured from
Broadvray, to be ]andscaped to conform to Park Departmentrequirements and to be maintained; the driveway to berelocated south of the landscaped strip, 4. Operating hoursto be 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; 5. Improvements to conform toplans submitted; 6. A fence four feet in height to be placed
along the vrest property line.
The motj.on was seconded by Councilman Johnson and carried
unanimousJ.y on ro11 cal1.
Council-man Martin recaLled that when the City of Millbrae
rezoned the adjoining property for apartment use, this hadthe effect of creating four isolated R-I lots in Burlingame
and rather than rezone for the Skyline Terrace development,the city elected to foIlow the variance procedure as a methodof controlling the j.mprovements.
226
Mayor Amstrup recognized Mrs. Diane shane, resident manager
and agent for the new owner of Skyline Terrace. Mrs. Shane
stated that the sign is needed to identify the building to
people traveling freeway 280; she explained that visitors
Loming from other areas have difficulty locatinq the buildings
and that it will become more difficult when the apartments
are completed on the Millbrade side. Mrs. Shane stated that
if the buildings in Millbrae have identification displays
it $rould appear to be fair that Skyline Terrace be properly
identified.
Councilman Mart.in suggested that the sign will be of litt1e
or no value in the proposed location, that northbound drivers
will have passed the turn-off before they are able to read
the sign, because of the distance betvreen the turn-off and
the place where the sign will be mounted, the lettering will
not be readable; on the other side of the freeway, southbound,
the slgn may have the effect of creating a hazard because
vrhen it does become visible a motorist wiLl be forced to
Ieave the freeway very qulckly or miss the exit.
Mrs. Shane stated that the location vras selected after trial
runs on both Skyline and the freeway to determine the best
exPosure.
Councilman Mangini asked if the display

Councilman Crosby agreed with Councilman Martin that
be some visibility problems but that he could find no
to object to the sign nor r.rith the owner's desire to
his property .
There followed a period of discussion concerning landscaping
that was never completed; I'lrs. Shane pointed out that the
present owner should not be held responsible nor penalized
for dereliction on the part of the prior owner. Mrs. Shane
reported that a new sprinkler system and new landscaping have
been instaLled, new gardeners employed and lights in the
driveway shielded as an accornmotion to neighbors in the homes
be low .
Mayor Amstrup informed Mrs. Shane that as a resident in fairly
close proximity to the apartments, he $ras avrare of conditions
that homeowners have endured because of promises that were
given and not kept. He pointed out that the agreements that
were made between the developer and the city were not
difficult nor unreasonable and stated he would have no
objection to the sign if Mrs. Shane would be willing to make
a sincere effort to complete the improvements that were pledged.
In response to Councilman Mangini's inquiry r^rhether she $rould
be willing to pursue the conditions that are lacking,
Mrs. Shane agreed to do her best.
In response to Councilman Martin, Mrs. shane confirmed that
Mr. Douglas Pringle is no longer owner of the buildings.
A motion introduced by Councilman crosby to uphold the action
of the Planning Commission approving a sign display for
Skyline Terrace Apartments in accordance with plans filed
rdith staff, overall height not to exceed 5 feet 9 inches from
ground level and width 7 feet 9 inches. The motion was
seconded by councilman Mangini and carried unanimously on

COMMUNI CAT IONS
BURIINGAME AVENUE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
OFFSTREET PARKING
i"layor Amstrup acknowledged a communication dated March 16,L972,from the Citizens Parkj.ng Committee si.gned by Frank B.Ingersoll,
Chairman, recommending that a parking and traffic engineering
and planning consultant be employed to provide the ParkingDistrict with a report covering needs of the Burlingame AvenueCentral Business District for additional parkingi nature,location and costs of such additional facilities and an estimateof revenues to be expected from the use of existing andadditional facilities, assuming establishment of a parking
revenue program. The communication recommended that the reportbe financed with funds available in the 1969-1 Parking District(o1d City Hal1 project).
Mayor Amstrup announced legislation apropos to the subject has
been prepared by the City Attorney and is before Council for
consideration at this time, including a resolution providing
for an immediate study to be made of the needs for additionalparking in the Burlingame Avenue Area Off-Street ParkingDistrict and appointing the City Manager, City Attorney,Director of Public Works and City Planner as a staff committeeto accomplish the necessary studies and recommendations;a1so, an Interim Urgency Zoning Ordinance "Requiring ASpecial Permit For Erection Of Certain Structures Within The
Burlingame Avenue Area Of f€treet Parking District. "
The City Attorney reported that the ordinance can be an
"interim ordinance" under the State Planninq Law only if thecity undertakes a study, that the study cannot be a sham and
must proceed in good faith, that the language of the ordinanceprovides that it shall be effective for a period of 4 monthsunless extended as provided by law.
The City Attorney explained that it is his interpretation ofthe governing law that the study cannot be undertaken by avolunteer organization but must be the city's study and, forthis reason, the resolution accompanying the ordinance vrasprepared whereby the Council can order the study to be made.IIe stated that it would appear thete can be citizen partici-pation in the study, as may appear proper to the Council,and, in lieu of a city staff committee, professionals couldbe retai.ned .
RESOLUTION NO. ].6.7 2 "Declaring Intention To Study Off-Street
Parking Needs Within The Burlingame Avenue Area Off-streetParking District" was introduced for passage by CouncilmanMartin, seconded by Councilman Johnson and unanimously carrj-ed
on roll ca1l.
With reference to the ordinance, the City Attorney explainedthat as an emergency ordinance it will become effective onits adoption by a 4/5 vote of the Council. He stated thereare two methods of adopting an interim zoning ordinance,either by noticing and holding a public hearing prior toadoption, in which event, the initial lntdrim period could
have been one year; or, as is proposed here, adoption withouta public hearing which will have the effect of limiting theinitial interim period to 4 months and the study must get
under way and proceed in good faith during that period; ifthe work is not completed within the period, the Council mayby another ord.inance extend the time for an additional year.
CounciLman Mangini commented that alL of the documents are
addressed to the Burlingame Avenue area. He asked if
Broadway parking will be considered, poj-nting out that the
merchants there are also troubled with parking deficiencies.
.)rR
t4r. Ingersoll- stated that the feeling of the committee
appeared to be that the immediate needs centered on
Burlingame Avenue and that Broadway and aI1 other areas
that might. have problems be considered at a later time.
ORDINANCE NO. 959 "Interim Urgency Zoning Ordinance
Add lng A Prov .L S 10n To Municipal Code Section 25.70.040
Requiring A Special Permit For The Erection Of Certain
Structures Within The Burlingame Avenue off-Street Parking
District" vras introduced by Councilman trlartin, who moved
its adoption. The motj,on was seconded by Councilman Johnson
and carried on the following ro1L caIl:
AYES: COUNCILMEN: Amstrup-Crosby-Johnson-Mangini-Martin
NOES: COUNCILI{EN: None
ABSENT COUNCILMEN: NONe
Mr. Ingersoll referred to the recommendation in his letter
concerning methods available to f j.nancing additionalparking and reported that Mr. Kenneth Jones, counsel for
the Parking District, met with the Parking Committee and
it was his recommendation that a Parking Authority would
be the answer. Explaining that certain legal processes
must be observed in order to implement a Parking Authority,
involving a period of 6 to 8 weeks, Mr. Ingersoll asked
that Council consider instructing Mr. Jones and the City
Attorney to prepare the necessary legal documents to
activate a Parking Authority.
Mayor Amstrup recognized Mr. Jones who explained that the
Parking Conunittee, in effect, is recommending that the
city take advantage of the State Lae, which gives to any
city in the State the authority to designate a Parking
Authority as provided in the Parking Law of 1949. He
explained that authority is vested in the City Council to
determine by ordinance the need for a Parking Authority,
that the Authority will not be limited geographically but
have the power and duty to consider not only Burlingame
Avenue but also Broadway and other areas.
Mr. Jones stated that the State Law authorizes the Authority
to function two ways--the governing body can consist of
either the Council or an independent group. He suggested
that it would appear to be preferable in aurlingame that
the Council perform the function.
Commenting that questions have been raised concerning the
effect of the Parking Authority on the Parking Commission,,Mr. Jones advised there rrrould be none--the Commission exists
and will continue to exist. in the same advisory capacity.
Mr. Jones discussed various methods available for financing
additional parking, including ceneral Obligation Bonds,
Revenue Bonds and special assessment districts, expJ-aining
that after evaluation of the alternatives the Parking Authority
was considered most suitable for Burlingame for the reason
that the Authority is set up under the law to handle off-street parking on a revenue basis with every effort made to
generage a revenue product directly colunensurate withfacilities being provided. ile stated that the Authority
can lease the facilit,ies, it can deal erith property owners,it is a flexible and extremely viable means of treatingparking problems. Mr. Jones recommended that the Authority
be activated so that it wiII be ready to act at the proper
time.
Councilman Martin recalled that during proceedings in connec-tion with the original Parking District, l4r. Ernest Wilson,
counsel for the District, had some objections to the concept
of a Parking Authority.
5).)(r
Mr. Jones stated that it was his recollection that one of the
then requirements for Burlingame parki.ng was free lots,
everybody felt that metered lots would not have been a good
thing for the business communityl however, there appears to
be a change now in the approach to the parking situation--
where formerly free lots and assessments were employed,the Parking Authority j-s proposed, which means revenue
producing lots as opposed to free parking.
In response to Councilman Martinrs comment that there has
been discussion concerning double-decking over existing lots--
the first deck to remain free, the second metered--Mr. Jones
expressed the opinion that it would be extremely difficult
for the revenue bond program. to be successful- if limited to
one deck vrhen there was free parking available, which would
also apply if shopper lots were free and a deck above metered.
Mr. Ingersoll maintained that shopper lots and two-hour lots
should be free, all other parking metered regardless of
ground, second or third Ievel. He stated that property
owners who have been contributing to the Parking Districts
should be given some special privilege--many are paying for
the lots but have no parking.
Councilman Martin suggested that the Chamber of Commerce
Committee submit its recommendations as to the lots that
shouLd be metered and staff and the Committee together decide
whether or not a professional consultant should be retained
and, if so, submit 6ome names.
Mr. Ingersoll invited staff to meet lrith the Parking Com-
mittee on March 21 in Conference Room B in the City Hal1.
Corunenting that the matter of the Parking Authority will
be weighed carefully, Mayor Amstrup, l"rith Council concur-
rence, directed Mr. Jones to prepare the necessary docu-
ments establishing the Authority for Councilrs consideration.
councilman Crosby complimented Mr. Ingersoll and his com-
mittee on their efforts.
I,1r. Jones stated that Council may activate the
Authority but al,so makes the final decision as
or not it will be used.
