BURLINGAME CITY HALL
501 PRIMROSE ROAD
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 Governor's
Executive Order N-33-20 issued 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 November 9, 2020 Burlingame Planning Commission meeting.
Members of the public may view the meeting by logging on to the Zoom meeting listed below.
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 November 9, 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.
