On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law AB 361, which allows a local
agency to meet remotely when:
1. The local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency;
2. State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social
distancing; and
3. Legislative bodies declare the need to meet remotely due to present imminent risks to the
health or safety of attendees.
On October 17, 2022 the City Council adopted Resolution Number 124-2022 stating that the City
Council and Commissions will continue to meet remotely for at least thirty days for the
following reasons:
1. There is still a declared state of emergency;
2. The State recommends that individuals in public spaces maintain social distancing and wear
masks; and
3. The City can't maintain social distancing requirements for the public, staff,
Councilmembers, and Commissioners in their meeting spaces.
Pursuant to Resolution Number 124-2022, the City Council Chambers will not be open to the
public for the November 14, 2022 Planning Commission Meeting.

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

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 14, 2022. The City will
