BURLINGAME CITY HALL
501 PRIMROSE ROAD
BURLINGAME, CA 94010
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 January 17, 2023 the City Council adopted Resolution Number 004-2023 stating that the City
Council and Commissions will continue to meet remotely for at least thirty days for the
following reasons:
1. There is 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 004-2023, the City Council Chambers will not be open to the
public for the February 13, 2023 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 February 13, 2023. 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.
