The city Planner explained tha t the so-ca1led "service road" adjacent to
the Freeway on the west side begins at the Broadway Overpass extending
to the City of San l.tateo, and that subsequent to considerable study
and a public hearing, the Planning Comnission reconunended that the name
Tulare Boulevard be substituted for Bayshore Boulevard.
Mayor Crosby made the observation that the logical name for the street
would be "Rol1ins Road " the southerly extension of the Rollins Road
north of Broadway, and the City Planner, in reply to inquiries from
the Chair, confirmed that property numbering can be made continuous.
Conmenting upon the objections that have been received frqn property
olrners, and referring particularly to an objection from the Japanese-
American Citizens League on the proposed "Tulare" Boulevard, the
latter because of their internment during the war years at TuIe Lake,
the Chair invited Council comments.
Council members, in turn, expressed approval to the suggestion that
"Rollins Road " would be appropriate.
A communication was acknowledged from George A. and PauI c. Smith,
owners of property located at 639 Bayshore Boulevard, dated September 2,
1970, opposing the reconunended name change, stating that a different
name may create postal problems and the necessity ttrereafter to replace
street signs would be an unwarranted expenditure.

that the naming of the small strip (Broadway extension) should be the

Councilman Johnson stated that the original preference of council was
that the entire street be given one name and the matter was referred
to the Planning Conunission for recommendation, that in heari.ng protests
from those firns who are establishing their enterprises on Airport
Boulevard, she was in favor of retaining the name and suggested that
the entire subject of street-naming changes be abandoned.
Councilman Mangini, questioning the City Planner with respect to the
extent t]le city would be involved in cost to change the street names,
was advised that expenditures woul.d be negligible.
councilman l'lartin stated that the key issue is that there will be one
street extending from Peninsula Avenue to Millbrae and the street,
therefore, shouLd bear one name: Airport Boulevard is not visible to
cars traveling from Broadkray to the Bayshore Highwayr the name will
create confusion with Airport Boulevard in the City of San Bruno and

Councilman ltlartin urged Council to take this opportunity to
the one name and to consider the advantages to the City by
the one name for the entire length of the street.

Councilman Johnson stated that as a matter of preference she favored
"Old Bayshore Highway. "
Following further discussion, Councilman uartin reminded council that
the roadhray along the perimeter of the park cannot be officially named
until it becomes a dedicated street and that if Airport Boulevard and
Bayshore Highway are to be retained, the only action required of Council
is the naming of the Broadway Extension strip.

Office proposing the changes in the names of both the Bayshore Highway

The city Planner advised that the code requires that an appeal received

however, to continue the subject on that date to an ensuing meeting.

Councilman uangini stated that in view of circumstances, if it is
1egal1y permissable to approve the application conditional upon
receipt of favorable inspection reports, he would consent.
Councilman Johnson concurred .
Councilman llartin suggested that it may be prudent to reverse the
poli.cy of Council by permitting applications autqnatically referred
to departments for i.nspection and report.

conduct a dancing school be issued to tlrs. Dee Bellevue, upon condi-
tion that favorable reports are received from the required departments,

Councilman llartin initiated discussion on his suggestion that inspec-
tions be automatically processed by departments at the request of
City staff.
The City Attorney stated that there would be no objection to process-
ing some of the applications received under this procedure and may
expedite an action particularly when an application is received too
late for Council disposition at a regular meeting; Counci}, in

A corununication hras read from Norman W. Kavanaugh, L47 5 Alvarado Avenue,-
and Robe rt S. waligore, L46L Alvarado Avenue, within the Burlingame
HiLls area, dated September 3, 1970, requesting Council consideration
in annexing their respective properties to the City of Burlingame.
The Chair recognized Ir1r. Norman W. Kavanaugh. who stated that the
area to the west of the subject properties is the site of the Burlingame
Reservoir and the Fire Station and displayed a sketch illustrating
that the two properties are almost entirely surrounded by properties
within the City of Burlingame.

expressed the opinion that to be annexed to the City of
the logical move.
The City Planner stated that the issue of "annexation" is one of poliry;
the last annexation of property within this particular area occurred in
1961; and a series of conferences held on prior occasions between the
City of Burlingame and BurLingame Hills representatives proved ineffectual .
lhe City Planner recalled that previous Council poLicy favored annexation
of the Burlingame Hills area as a unit and that piece-meal annexation
was to be discouraged and suggested that if the proposed annexation meets
with the approval of Council, the subject be referred to his Office anC
to that of the City Engineer for further investigation and report to
Council .
In a further explanation, Councilman l.tartin advised that the original
reasoning of Council was two-fold: Annexation was being requested from
owners of hillside properties because of the 1ot size restrictions placed
into effect by the County and from owners of isolated lots $/ithin the
canyon area, each location inaccessible to maintain adequate City
servicing .
Following a brief discussion on the applicants' submission of the pro-
posed annexation to the Local Agency Fotmation Commission (LAI'CO) and
the likelihood of that agency sanctioning the annexation if approval is
indicated by Council, the subject was referred to the City Planner and
to the city Engineer for investigation and report to council .

Zone I would be improper.
l,!r. stanley Stebenne, Real Estate Broker, 1120 Broadway, Burlingame,
recognized by the Chair, stated that property development \^rithin the

would afford an opportunity to enhance the property.
The City Planner explained the procedure required in the reclas s if ication
of properties and the incumbent complications.
councilman Martin suggested that the Planning Conunission be directed to
examine all C-l zoned areas that have not developed throughout the years
to determine if they are incorrectl-y zoned.
The City Planner confirmed that a study of C-l zones is hrarranted at
some future date; that in the interim, hovrever, the Planning commission
is scheduling public hearings on the recLas sification of the Corbitt
