BURLINGAME CITY HALL

BURLINGAME, CA 94010
On March 17, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain
provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow for local legislative bodies to conduct
their meetings telephonically or by other electronic means. Pursuant to the Shelter -in -Place
Order issued by the San Mateo County Health Officer on March 16, 2020 (which was then
extended on March 31, 2020, April 29, 2020, May 15, 2020, and May 29, 2020), the statewide
Shelter -in -Place Order issued by the Governor in Executive Order N-33-20 on March 19, 2020,
and the CDC's social distancing guidelines which discourage large public gatherings, the
Council Chambers will not be open to the public for the August 24, 2020 Burlingame Planning
Commission meeting.
Members of the public may view the meeting by logging on to the Zoom meeting listed on the
next page. Additionally, the meeting will be streamed live on YouTube and uploaded to the
City's website after the meeting.
Members of the public may provide written comments by email to
publiccomment@burlingame.org.
Emailed comments should include the specific agenda item on which you are commenting, or
note that your comment concerns an item that is not on the agenda or is on the consent
agenda. The length of the emailed comment should be commensurate with the three minutes
customarily allowed for verbal comments, which is approximately 250-300 words. To ensure
your comment is received and read to the Planning Commission for the appropriate agenda
item, please submit your email no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 24, 2020. The City will make
every effort to read emails received after that time, but cannot guarantee such emails will read
into the record. Any emails received after the 5:00 p.m. deadline which are not read into the
record will be provided to the Planning Commission after the meeting.
