EWIRONMEMTAI II4PACT REPORT NO. 16B ON ABOVE PRGIEqI Mayor Marrtin announced that at the Council Meeting of April 16, 1973 this developer had been requested to make changes in the areas of Iandscaping and parking. He acknowledged receipt of letter of May I, 1973 from MacDonatd, Ne1son & Heck, which specified the following changes: 1. Redesign of N.E. corner of parking structure, moving j-t seven feet from property line on California Drive; 2. Elj-mination of five graale level parking spaces along California Drive, 3, Extensive landscaping on California, shielding parking structure; 4. Lowering height of parking structure wall to I2-I3 feet above grade, 5. Additional landscaping technique. Mayor Martin noted receipt of cotnmunication from the City Planner stating essentially the same information wj-th a notation that the revision would provide 290 parking spaces, satisfying code requirements. 461 Mayor Ma.rtin then allowed Mr. S. Theodore Boone of MacDonald, Nelson & Heck, the privilege of the ftoor for a presentation. Mr. Boone introduced his architects, Messrs. Kenney, Petronj- and Armor, availa-ble for Council and audience questions. Artist's renderings of different building aspects were displayed. t'tr. Boone then pointed out revisions of May 7, L973 to the original EIR 168. Paragraph 2 now includes the existing office building on the site as well as the new building and the parking structure. Lot coverage now shows as 62.4'7* instead of 788. He further noted that the large covered walk-through entrance area in the middle of the building will be Landscaped and could be cons.idered as open space. If it were, the ]-ot coverage vrould actually be 55%. Reduction of open space in Paragraph 5 is now frqn 838 to 37.53* instead of from I00B to 37.53t. t'lr. Boone corrected the last sentence in Paragraph 7 to state, "Exit fron parking areas will be lijnited to California and E1 Canino ReaI by making entxances to parking area from Trousdale one way." He noted citizens concern with traffic on Trousdal"e and thought the one way entrances would eli:ninate the problem. He discussed the location of grade Level parking and stated the parking garage would have l2O spaces on the upper level and 122 on the bottom. Mayor Martj-n asked if the developer could male the california Drive exit right turn on1y, especially in view of the fact that California Drive belrond Murchison will probably be closed in the future. M.r. Boone assured hj-m this rrould be acceptable, also stating he felt there was enough room on Trousdale to make a holding lane for the entrances j-f traffic patterns indicated the necessity. There followed diseussion of traffj-c problems on this corner of E1 Camino frontage road. ltr. Boone told the Council that the.re would be cooperation with any traffic requj.rements of the Police Department. M.r. Boone noted addition to Paragraph I3d of the fact this project will give enplolrment to 266 people and contribute $75,000 taxes for the City and County. He recorEnended resolution be passed approving this EIR. Mayor Maxtin questioned Paragraph 8 which states gariage could be built on three levels, one below grade. MI.. Boone replied this vras not feasible because of the water table in the area and that properc landscaping should mask the garage. Forty percent of the cenent in the garage wall would be replaced with lattice on which greenery could be grolrn. There would'be landscaping al1 along California Drive and trees would be planted in the s idewalk along Trousdale if the city permitted. Councilman Anstrup questioned l4-r. Boone about the targe sign presently on the site. l,lr. Boone replied this problem had not been resolved; they had no present use for the sign but night have in the future. He added that if the City wished, they would ta](e it down. I'II. Boone introduced 1,1r. Charles Kinney, Iandscape architect, who gave a slmopsis of the landscaping planned for this site. He broke the site dov,n into four planting zones, one of which was'for the parking garage roof, and described in detailed displays landscaping to be accomplisheal in each zone. Salient points werre putting the existing building rrithin this concept of a "super block"; a strong element of landscaping buffering along Californj-a Drivei and tying the Trousdale street-scaping into the entire axea across, the street. He suggested conditioning the special permj-t on the approval of the Park Departnent. He stated, however, that if Council wished, a definitive landscaping plan could be agreed to at thj-s meeting. Councilman crosby stated that the permit should be either conditional or definitj-ve. Mr. Boone agreed that the pemit could be mad.e conditional upon ttte traffic study and upon final landscaping. Councilman Amstrup questioned how far the buildj-ng was from the sidewalk. M.r- Boone replied that the ilpact of the building on the property line is Lost on the ground floor level- since rentab.Le space starts 12' above gLade. However, he j-ndicated the builaling was approxjrately B-10 feet frqn the sidewalk. 462 Councilnan cusick questioned through the chair if this meets building height requlations for C-I. The City Planner stated it vras well under. M.r. Boone told the Council his company had bequn negotiations with the SP Railroad for 25 parking spaces on the east side of the track. Discussion followed j-n which l,1I. Boone was reminded that thls would involve Passage over city-owned and city of San Francisco Property to get to the other side of the tracks. councj-l$an Cusick questioned the overhang of the 4th ancl 5th floors and was informed by l4I:. Boone that this would be a matter of 3-4 feet, although plans a-re not yet at the working dxawing stage. He stated the purlrcse of thls overhang is to alIoh, for balconies on which plantings could overhang, thus creating an interesting buildinq facade. Mayor Martin requested staff comRents. City Engineer Marr had no comnent. City Planner Swan approved the ratio of floor area to land area and comnented that the concept of the covered mid-builaling entry is a design which the city of San Mateo is encouraging ancl whj-ch does have merit as open space. There was no response to the Chairrs request for audience cotrunent. The public hearing was decLared closed. Follolring further Council discussion. Councilman Crosby moved that EIR 168 be approved with the condj.tion that control of txaffic in and out of parking is to be as determined by txaffic studies. councilman Anstrup seconded the motion.

Howevex, since minutes of the consnittee meeting made no indication of this nurnber, he had sent letters voicing the opposition of Burlingame and other cities as a matter of record. There was further discussion of the proposed Burlingame route and an alternate route. I,lr. Keyston suggested a joint meeting with the cities of SarI Mateo and Millbrae if neither'$ri11 endorse the pIan. councilman Amstrup felt the only alternative was to oppose the entire BART plan. City Manager schwalm noted San Mateors indecision regarding palment for subways. Mayor Martin suggested a report be made to the Board of Control that the study is not adequate on route alignment and that it would be preferable that this align- ment be aalopteal r.rith the provision that further study should be made on thj.s whole area from the airport alorrn through San Mateo County. He conmented that if a reasonable alternative could be suggested there would be mote chance of a study. There followed consideration of an alternate route down Old Bayshore- Council-man Crosby thought an alternate route should be suggested and questioned wtro would make the determinatj-on of such a route. Mayor l'{artin informed hir that if the Board agreed their engineers would corne i-n and look at it.

Councihan Cusick seconded. and the motion carried unanj.mously on ro11 caII vote. ORDINANCE 986 There was considerable discussion of this ordinance which lifts the restriction on parking on the North side of Peninsul-a Avenue except between the hours of 4:OO and 6:0O P.M. on weekdays, Council.men Aestrup and Crosby objected on the grounds that this virtually cuts Peninsula dordn to a one lane street. This is one of the main entrances into town and j,s used by large trucks. Thelr feeling rras that this ordinance rrould create many traffic problelrls. Captain Nordstron of the Police Department reported on enforcerTrent of the present parking regulations and questioned if there was not an agreement that lvhen san I'lateo widened Peninsula there would be no parking on the Burlingame side.

The Council agreed to drop from the agenda. Resolution Finding General Plan To Be Consistent With zoning Code Through the Chair, Councilran cusick requested information frcm the Cj.ty Attorney on the Resolution to find the General Plan in conformance with the zoning ordinance by July 1. City Attorney Kamel replj-ed that the resolution determining consistency with the Genexal Plan would be forthcoming from the Pl-anning Conunission following their meeting of I'fay 14. Councilman Cusick asked that the Council do have by May 21 so that changes could be made if necessary. The City Attorney stated that two other elements of the General Plan, the Open Space Elenent and the Conservation Elenent are forthconing. If the Council decides to change the cenelal Plan by JuIy 1 there would be a real time problem. Councilman Cusick stated that the ceneral Plan was not compatible with the zoning since it calls for 1o1, density up to I units per acre and mediun density can be twice low density. She did not fear action from the state if the mandate was not followed but said that private inalividuals could go to Superior court against the city j-f there is non conformance between the ceneral Plan and the zoning ordinance. She noted petitions from individuals requesting that the ceneral Plan be changed. llayor uartin conunented ttrat t$ro matters seem to be confused. The state needs a declaration of consistency of zoning ordinance with the ceneral PIan by July 1. once that decision is made, State law is follolred and changes in the General Plan could be made at a later date. He corunented the city could not flossil)ly get a fu11y amended General Plan by July 1. councilman Cusick insisted she wanted to get consideration of changes. The clty Attorney cotrmented it should be understood the council had before it this matter of requirement to be consistent by January L, L973. Then an emergency statute changed the date to July L, L973. This also defined $ttat was meant by consistency. The Council referred it to the Planning Conmission. The Planning Commission took the Staters definition of consistency and found the zoning ordinance to be consistent with the ceneral Plan. He cormented that possibly what Councilman Cusick meant is that time is getting short if Council finds inconsistency and she was assuming there will be changes in the ceneral PIan. However, he stated, if it is to be changed there will be a tijne problem having to consider changes before the Planning Conunission and the Council both. Councihan Cusick stated her motion had been to refer to the Planning Comlission for report a change to amend the ceneral Plan to conform to the zoning code. The City Attorney stated there was no referral- to the Planning Commission to consider any particular problem or amendrnent, and there is no point in the Planning Cormnission doing something outside the statute. Again, l4ayor I'{artin suggested that the Council agree Lrith the Planning Commission's decision of consistency under the state Act, and that changes be considered after July I, L973. He stated he did not wish to act under a deadlj-ne, and making major changes on the spur of the moment is a risky matter. CouncikEn cusick questioned lrhy this woulal have to go back to the Planning Comnission when they had it for 90 days. Cj-ty Attorney Kame1 stated that changes in zoning or general plan can be made by appl,ication or propexty owner; :pplication of Planning Comnission and application of the City Council. Whichever way is chosen, the matter first must be heard by the Planning Comm.ission- If j-t requires an ordinance, the Planning ConTnission makes a recom[endation back to the Council. He questioned Councilman Cusick in rrhich respect she wished to amend. She stated the only areas where the ceneral Plan disagrees with the zoning code is in the residential areas. ,166 City Attorney Karmel requested the Council to consider the ceneraL Plan as something they hope to achieve 10-15 years in the future. If the r{rord vras "confom" instead of "consistentf, the statute says "consistent" i and if hrhat the council wished was conformity there was no deadline on conformity. Council-nan Cusick stated that the Council could go with the Planning commj-ssj-on decision or against j-t. Mayor Martin emphasized that if her concern was the city's liabj.lj-ty in case of suit, passage of the resolution of consistency would solve the problem. City Attorney Kamel reported to the Council there was a bill coming up for hearing in the state senate which would extend the deadline for this consistency as well as for the open space element to october, 1973. Hovrever, j-t had not yet passed. l.4ayor Martin stated that actj-on on the resolution would be taken by the Planning Commission on May 14, would come to the Council on May 21, and would be acted upon the first meeting in June. Clty Manager - Tree Removal Councilman Amstrup referenced the City Managier I s memo to Council on the removal of a redwood tree at the Pacifj-c western Condominj-um project since excavation had been made too close to it. councilman Amstrup comlented the EIR stated that two xedwood trees and pal$s would be ].eft on the site. The tree removed had not been replaced and there is only one pah. He suggested that Council demand the developer carry out these stipulations regarding trees on this site. Traffic Engineer: Trousdale Dlive, Sky!!!q to Elllq$llg Letter of transmittal from the City Manager suggested first three recon- mendations on this report be implemented and the last three be set for study. After some discussion of the previ-ous attenpts at traffic regulation on Trousdale, Mayor Martin suggested this traffic engineer.rs report be set for study meeting. Councilman Amstrup also noted that many people on Tnousdale would like this problem to be set for a public meeting. City Planner: Conversion of Apartments to Condominiums Mayorc Martin called on City Planner Swan for comments. The City Planner stated this corEnunication was a progress repolt; that the Planning Conmission had comnenced study but had no reco[trrendation as yet. He cited new information on the Subdivision Map Act affecting this matter - consideration of a bill in the State senate and requested Attorney Karmel to report. Mayor Martin suggested an interim oridinance requiring a special pemit from the City Council pending lega1 resolution of the Subdivision Map Act. The city Attorney stated that cities have little chance of regulating condominiums under this act. other cities are facing this same problem and the League of California cities is supporting a bill for condominiun regulations which is to be heard before a senate committee on llay 8. He suggested the city contact Senator cregorio by telephone and advise hj-trr of their support of this bill. Mayor Martin so directed the city PLanner and the City Attorney.
