Overview of the North Rollins Specific Plan. Staff Contact: Kevin Gardiner Attachments: Staff Report North Rollins Specific Plan — Public Review Draft Community Development Director Gardiner introduced the specific plan consultant team, including representatives from KTGY, Gates + Associates, Kimley-Horn, and Rincon Consultants. The consultant team presented an overview of the draft specific plan. Commission Questions and Discussion: > Housing projects are putting in mostly housing and not much else other than open space, and our office projects are putting in office and not much more as far as amenities for doing a small plaza or something. It's great that we're encouraging the grocery and ground floor but without more direction on that, I'm afraid they are going to skip it and choose the easier benefits. Who wants to be the first to invest in retail and grocery in an area that actually doesn't have any people in it yet? It's going to take ten years to get a grocery store. (John Moreland, Rincon Consultants: There is a requirement for retail space along Rollins Road. The community benefit is going above and beyond an additional requirement and furthermore on top of the requirements is we also want to have the design of Rollins Road appear commercial so whether there are residential amenities or other spaces, it has the consistent street scene along Rollins Road. It is difficult to identify which property is going to have the grocery store, so we think the community benefit is the best approach for a grocery store. In other cities they had been able to encourage uses through the economic development staff working with developers and trying to encourage that and promote a grocery store within this area, and working with the landowners identifying a spot that if someone is willing to encourage that grocery store to the development at that location.) > Why are we saying that a grocery store needs to have ten thousand square feet? There are smaller grocery stores that can have smaller spaces for milk and eggs, just little spaces. Can we make that a smaller space? What are the challenges that you've seen and how do we overcome those challenges? (Moreland: The grocery store square footage can definitely be adjusted. Our retail division has worked with grocery store developers and right now. For frame of reference, a Trader Joe's would be looking for 15,000 square feet. Sprouts and Whole Foods are in the 20,000 square foot range. What we wanted to distinguish as part of the specific plan is something different than maybe just a convenient shop that may have other items and may not be considered a food mart that may be able to provide all the groceries. Could it be 6,000 square feet? Yes, but I wouldn't recommend anything lower than 6,000 square feet. One thing that might help promote the feasibility of a grocery store is showing the pipeline of how many residential projects could theoretically be in this area and how fast this area is growing.) > We're asking developers to give us public spaces but the public spaces that we've seen are kind of within the development that they are doing themselves. Looking at Figure 2.6, there's an area under the power lines that is now currently being used for some parking for Facebook. Could we ask the developers for some kind of an in lieu fee instead of having them build a small park or a public benefit for that particular project? Put a fee aside so if we decide that we want to, the city can purchase a parcel or somebody gives us some land that we decide that we want to create a park there. The public spaces that I'm seeing are not really public benefits in my opinion. 1'd like to see a big plaza, so if somebody wants to build a plaza, we have some funds and they dedicate it to the city. (Moreland: We've seen the implementation where there is an in -lieu program that looks at the area and identifies places for parks. A developer could negotiate with the city and receive the credit for open space above and beyond. It's a pretty common practice elsewhere.) (Casey Case, Gates + Associates: The utility corridor has been designated for open space. It has power lines overhead and a lot of infrastructure underneath. It fits best for a semi -passive recreation opportunity, but in some of our studies, we did take a look at the projects on the books at the time and identified their open space and used our 118 radius to locate potential other park locations. That was the guidance in our design guidelines, that the open space that is associated with development is for open, public use. We have language to make it obvious that it's open and City of Burlingame Page 3 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 available so it's not tucked behind other things. In addition to that, really playing up the connections between the spaces. It's not an individual park spaces in and of themselves. One of the things we're trying to accomplish with a lot of jurisdictions is creating the network between all of those because it's not just the destination, it's going from one to the other, so that's why a lot of our language is about the paseos and the wind rows and connecting to the linear park, so it's not just the destinations themselves.) > I think it would be really nice if we have a uniformed streetscape lighting program in the sense that the developers know exactly what light we're going to use, what company it is, how tall the street lighting is going to be. Also I think lighting is a safety issue for pedestrians and cars and the bikes and everybody else, so I strongly want to keep that very uniform. > I'm looking at all these beautiful pictures from the presentation and I'm thinking, how do we get there from here? I'm not seeing it. For example in 5.5.2 it says where a total lot area or development is 50,000 square feet or greater, a pedestrian plaza or other public open space, gathering space shall be provided that meets the following criteria. It's a minimum of 1,500 square feet in size, with a minimum dimension of 30. 1 feel that the size of the open space should be commissariat with the size of the project. There are some are enormous projects and just to say well, it's over 50,000 square feet, so it should have a 1,500 square feet plaza, it doesn't seem to be in proportion. I'm thinking an in -lieu system might be better where the city is actually saying whether it's under those utility wires or whatever, the ideas or a chain of them here and there or perhaps even obtaining land on a site that is going to remain industrial but maybe they want to let some of it go for that. It seems this may be a more attainable way to get this. > I was disappointed and surprised to see how prescriptive the planting specifications are. It's probably boilerplate from the Native Plant Council, so I pulled some sheets where I was shocked to see that first of all, there is nothing else besides native plant vegetation can be planted. Nothing listed on the Native Plant Council's invasive plants list, and I think that it is very prescriptive. Certainly nothing to do with our General Plan, and we had a good section about landscaping and sensitive areas which this is not, it's landfill. The General Plan encourages planting of natives, but does not force it. The projects we've seen come through are definitely are not all native and they tend to be more native adaptive landscaping. Fin ally, were you aware that the street tree list that has been established here for roads, none of them are native. And a couple of them, at least one is on the bad list from the Native Plant Council. I'm asking if you would revisit that one. > I was thinking about the community benefits and some of the support services that we want to see come together in this neighborhood. I was wondering if there was a way to overlay some type of a metrics and some type of master plan that could help future developers and existing property owners to pick and choose whether they want a cafe here, a dry cleaner, whatever type of support spaces or event center or whatever it may be, to make this neighborhood thrive and vibrant. So instead of developers thinking for example they have a space and they're thinking of it being a cafe, but maybe we already have too many cafes in this area. Could we give them some options to choose so we also build a little bit of core retail and community spaces that would really make it an activated neighborhood? When I say the master plan, I mean an overlay on top of these five areas that we're developing and maybe dot in where might be a good location for a cafe, where might be a good spot for a laundromat or whatever it might be to give developers some kind of guideline of what we might want or need to support all the residents and workers in this area. (Moreland: In terms of the guidance, a marketing study would assess and identify that this area is providing x-amount of residential and would need these services, and based on that, there could be an overlay or guidance). > It looks like there is only one major crosswalk area in this neighborhood, or am I misreading it? Do you know how many crosswalks are planned to get to the other side? (Moreland: I believe there's one type of crosswalk design that would be repeated at all three cul-de-sacs intersecting with Rollins Road. As development comes in, you could look at a new crossing location at the intersection. Along with those three cul-de-sacs, there's also crossings at the paseo paths.) (Mike Mowry, Kimley-Horn: It's slightly outside the plan area, but Millbrae will have an upgraded crossing at the intersection of Rollins Road and Adrian Road.) > These crosswalk intersections with the bulb out areas seems like they would be natural nodes for retail and these community support services. I also agree with the suggestion of creating a universal lighting plan for this whole area. > Just a question for school -aged kids, which elementary school are the kids supposed to be attending City of Burlingame Page 4 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 from this neighborhood and how will they get there? (Gardiner: Right now the area is in the boundaries of Franklin, but there are no residences in this area yet. It is a challenge to get to the school areas from here. One interest is the possibility of having a crossing under the railroad or above railroad. That is not an insignificant endeavor but it would be part of a strategy for a route to school. We have been coordinating with the district and based on current enrollment trends, they should have sufficient capacity but will need to figure out which district assign the kids to.) > Is there a projected residential population if everything goes to plan and certain density was reached? I don't know if you have a number just based on the housing units. it's a little harder to estimate school -aged children based on the type of housing much, so I'm thinking general population. (Moreland: The specific plan is implementing the density that's identified in the General Plan, with a small adjustment, to be around 1,800 units so it would be around 4,500 or 5,000 people total.) Assuming one of every five, that's one thousand kids. That's something to consider- we love the density, we love the population growth, and obviously we need more housing but I don't see any schools being built. > I'm not understanding on how the pattern of the street frontage works with the setbacks. (Moreland: What we really want along Rollins Road is to increase the pedestrian experience. We want a wider sidewalk. We looked at alternatives to potentially pinching the Rollins right-of-way down, really trying to keep Rollins Road as a transit corridor that accommodates both bikes as well as accommodate the truck traffic that's there. We don't really envision the curb to curb dimension being dimensional so we're saying the movable property line is going to be requiring a wider sidewalk that would encroach into the private property. There would be a fen -foot -wide sidewalk, five feet would be within the public right-of-way and an additional five feet on private right-of-way so you get a 10-foot-wide sidewalk There would need to be easements attached to it but it would feel like a 10-foot sidewalk. Beyond the 10-foot sidewalk, the building would be setback ten feet from the property line. So five feet will be used for landscape or additional sidewalk area like a cafe or anything like that along the sidewalk.) (Gardiner: I'll add, this was something we already had built into the interim zoning. As complicated as it sounds, it's not that complicated and the three projects approved so far have utilized this approach. They have all mapped the public access easements as part of their maps so it's a way to create a more consistent streetscape without knowing exactly where the property line is going to fall in an individual place, but you know that you want a ten -foot sidewalk regardless. Plus the planting zone and the amenity zones creates that consistency regardless of the specifics of a site. We have a good street section diagram that shows the geometry of the lanes and the sidewalks and the bike lanes, so we could add buildings to the diagram to better explain this.) Chair Gaul opened the public hearing to allow for public comment. There were no public comments. Chair Gaul closed the public hearing. Community Development Director Gardiner acknowledged that there is a lot of material in the draft, and invited commissioners to mark up their drafts if they would like to provide further comments.

Robert Cameron and Joshua Larson, represented the applicant and answered questions about the application. Public Comments: > Michael Rudolph, 1435 Alvarado Avenue: Good evening commissioners, with regard to 1441 Alvarado Avenue, the Cameron's proposal for modifications to their house. When it came up before the commissioners in their last meeting, we were in general agreement with the Cameron's plans. However, we did indicate that we had some concerns about the landscaping. So, if you refer to the PDF file 1441 Alvarado Avenue plans.pdf, slide seven shows our house and the Cameron's house. It shows landscaping that goes above our roof line which we are concerned will take away our current views of both the airport and the bay. When we spoke with the Cameron's in the last meeting, they said their architect would be willing to work with us to make sure that that didn't happen. So, we are very concerned that what appears to be olive trees and the street trees are going to interfere with our views and want to express concern about that. Again, not being familiar with this process, whether there could be something that needs to be entered into the record on the commissioner's side that we have expressed that concern because we don't want to find three or four years from now that we don't have a view. Thank you very much. (Cameron: The amount of foliage was an initial attempt to ensure the beautification of the street and the neighborhood and promote as much of a green atmosphere to minimize the presence of the building. With that said, we are very much willing to ensure that our neighbors are able to enjoy the views that they have today as we enjoy them as well, and to be able to find a resolution here to ensure that all parties were happy. We're happy to ensure that we select a variety that does not impair that view. Our interests are aligned as we want to ensure that the entrance to the home is still visible through that arch way.) Chair Gaul closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion/Direction: > It is not the house that is going to prevent this project from moving forward. We are talking about a landscaping item that needs to be negotiated between neighbors. It seems to me that there is not an item that we can put in place as a condition of approval. > Gardiner: The commission can't really regulate the maintenance of landscaping and landscaping can change over time. It does seem like there's willingness and interest from the applicant to coordinate with the neighbors and that's very encouraging. That starts to get outside of the realm of the design review and the different permits being requested, particularly with maintenance. > Assuming it's just a regular olive tree, it says 20 to 30 feet, so it's not an enormous tree. It should be easy to control. Commissioner Schmid made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to approve the application.

Commission Discussion/Direction: > I appreciate all the changes made. The applicant has listened to a lot of the feedback that we gave in the previous meeting. The front looks a lot better. All of the changes really made each elevation look better and I really appreciate that. I'm stuck right at the moment with the fiberglass. We've not seen those come through or approved them lately. So, I'm not convinced that it's a good choice. > I am familiar with Ultrex by Marvin and it appears as a clad window, so I'll vouch for that brand and material for a window. You'll see them around town. It's the standard for Marvin now. The reason is because a lot of the window manufacturers are getting away from the wood windows just for warping, durability and weather proofing. They last longer. I have a bigger concern about the fiberglass front door because fiberglass doors look like fiberglass doors. They don't look like wood doors. I have brought them and put them in, but typically in the backdoor on an apartment building. Haven't seen a fiberglass front door that looked really good especially in a craftsman house. I just think a wood door would look better. I'm also concerned about that tall skinny look on it. > I was also going to vouch for the Marvin windows. I'm currently reviewing a project of ours, a fiberglass entry door compared to wood door mainly due to the weather exposure and orientation of the home facing south in my situation. I have installed a fiberglass entry door before. Not often, it depends on City of Burlingame Page 7 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 the brand of course, they can look very realistic with wood texture and you can have them unfinished to be stained onsite or pre -finished. There's a number of ways they can be prepared for installation. Suggests to have the applicant provide that information to us, what brand they might be using for the entry door, just to give us a little bit more information. Maybe as an FYI so we know it's not some stamped fiberglass door you would put on the side of a garage entrance or something, which is what we usually imagine when we think about fiberglass doors. Not so much as what brand but a spec sheet so we can see what quality entry door would be proposed. > I'm a fan of the grids on the window, so I was disappointed to see those go away. They add a lot of character to the home. The windows were still quite sizable, especially the front elevation with the proposed single hung windows, that top half could have grids very easily. > Generally, it has come a long way from what we first saw which I really appreciate. I commented last time about how narrow the door looked and now I know why. It's artificially stretched because it's a taller door. If it's three feet wide that's fine. Now that you have the grid in the door and without the grid in the windows, something looks out of proportion. It looks really large. The top grid disappeared and it would be more cohesive if you put that back in because it really is an older neighborhood. You could get away with it but it lost some of the charm. Is the garage door metal? Do we typically see metal garage doors? > It doesn't specify that on sheet A3.2. We have had metal doors in the past, I'm not a fan because they dent when kids kick a ball on them. So we have a few things, it sounds like there's a desire for grids to be put back in the windows, which I would go along with. We are asking for a cut sheet on the fiberglass entry door to be provided and then the garage door to be either fiberglass or wood. Commissioner Gaul made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Tse, to approve with the application with the following condition: > Prior to issuance of a building permit an FYI application shall be submitted which shall include specifications for the fiberglass entry door, and revised plans showing grids on all windows as originally proposed, and specifying the garage door material to be either wood or fiberglass.

Lisa Phyfe and Debi Zumtobel, represented the applicant and answered questions about the application. Public Comments: > There were no public comments. Chair Gaul closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion/Direction: > Concerns about the longevity and maintenance of the mural paint. > Suggests to consider putting some foliage on that wall instead of a mural. Like climbing vines or something that could be really nice and green, which might have that impression of a little bit more greenery from the ground up. Or consider featuring a local artist. We have lost an amazing artist in town by the name of Dale Perkins. He's done a number of works in Burlingame and maybe we could do a tribute to something that he created or something to that nature. > (Phyfe: When it comes to the greenery and planning, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe providing art at this wall is a condition of approval for the project, so we had assumed it was required to stay as art.) > (Hurin: The art wall was originally offered by the previous developer. The code doesn't require it per City of Burlingame Page 9 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 se, but the developer offered to do an art wall. At the time they didn't have the concept down, so the commission asked that it come back as an FYI item to review the art wall. Now that it's been changed because of that condition, it's before you now. There aren't any specific regulations or requirements for an art wall, what it should look like and what should go on the art wall.) > Maybe that's something that the applicant can look at. Consider another way to create the wall that might also help with its maintenance. > Consider a wall to be built of something that wouldn't require maintenance that would have some textural or color interests. Tile can be applied in patterns and almost a large mosaic. It might be very pricey, but another way to build an art wall or some kind of interest wall. It doesn't have to be an art wall but something with textural interest and it can be done in color. To this previously proposed poppy design, even though it was really large and to the pedestrian scale, you can read very easily that those were poppies on the wall. You can't get too much distance from this wall where this wall would be located in relationship to where one would walk and be able to enjoy it. You lose the sense of scale with what's currently being proposed. Trying to imagine being up close to this wall, I don't know if you can see the birds on what's currently being proposed. Scale is fine but maybe if it was more open, more obvious what the imagery is so one can enjoy it and consideration of some other type of material that the wall could be built out of. > I actually like the previous solution a lot better. I'm not inspired by the new solution and I agree that it's going to wear. I have never seen a painted mural last. Whereas a baked enamel metal panel actually could last quite a long time without fading. It would have more three-dimensional interest on that wall than the painted solution. Conceptually, it's nowhere near where I'm thinking that wall would be more attractive. I would actually side with putting the vines on. Unless we're actually approving the design, I don't know that I would approve this conceptually either. So I'm not necessarily in favor of making the change. > I'm not in favor of this mural. We can come up with something better for that wall and create something that is more beneficial to that wall, to that community and for maintenance. > I would have to agree with that. The original proposal was better, it gave depth and is more dimensional. Something flat isn't going to work. I agree with my fellow commissioner, unless we have concept or the actual art, I don't know that we should be moving forward with it. I'm in favor of the art, it's going to be less maintenance than a vine and it could ultimately last longer. My fellow commissioner was talking about tiles, but you can do cast -in -place concrete with relief. Not necessarily like what they have on the freeway but that whole idea, even though those retaining walls look like big huge pieces of stone as you're going down 92 freeway out to Half Moon Bay. There are things you can do with concrete that are zero maintenance and they will last forever. There are other ways where we can go with this. I am not for a flat one dimensional mural. > I agree with everything that have been said. A vine is certainly preferential to what we have seen. I like the 3D look of the poppies. To piggyback on the discussion we started this evening on making a special neighborhood, this is part of that neighborhood. It would be fun to have something different, happy and to start some motion in that direction. You have to start somewhere. So here, we have something on our plate and was part of the approval. Sorry to say, I can't approve the second concept. > We all, more or less, agree that we're not in favor of the proposed project and we would like to see something that is a little more specific as opposed to a concept. > (Spansail: We've had some commissioners go the direction of maybe not having it be an art wall, having vines or some other material on there. Is that something that would be considered because we want to make sure the applicant knows whether to stick with the original condition of an art wall or if there's more flexibility on that?) > I would rather see art than a vine wall. > Wondering if the Planning Commission is the right group. Are we experts in art appreciation? Is there an art commission in Burlingame or some other venue that should be adjudicating this? I don't feel like I'm well qualified to be an art critic. > I actually would like to see the art. The reason I like the poppies is you would see it from the park that's in the parking lot that we've spent an hour and a half talking about. Because that wall was close to 20-feet tall, the top of the poppies will go way above the six-foot fence that separates this project from the parking lot that's behind. Granted that it is a parking lot now, but we just looked at how we want to see that whole central area become more pedestrian -friendly. So, it wouldn't just be the dogs and the people City of Burlingame Page 10 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 who live there that are going to appreciate this. I would agree with my fellow commissioner, I would like to see it remain as an art installation. I just don't see the proposal that was before us tonight being something that adds value. > 1, too, would like to see the originally proposed in the form of an art wall, not necessarily having to be metal panels, but I love the graphics from the poppies. The color and the vibrancy was brought to life in that area compared to what was proposed this evening. I'm open to some other contextual interest whether it is tile, some kind of pre -formed, and pre -cast panels that can be installed on a wall. Something that conveys that originally approved design and proposed art but can be in other materials with some textural interest would be what I would be looking for. > I'm good with artwork. We can take off the vines for now, so the applicant knows which direction we can all go in. > The commission would like to see an art wall there because it would be helpful and beneficial to the park area and to the development. However, we are looking for something more than one dimensional art and we can give them artistic license with that. > The paint makes me nervous. It's not going to look good. I mean, who is going to be bothering the company or trying to get every paint job done when it's faded. I'm not for the paint unless it's something that's more 3-dimensional as opposed to one-dimensional. The metal, whatever original was, sounds like it's more permanent like a car paint. It sounds like something that's longer lasting. That's great and fine. Commissioner Gaul made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Schmid, to continue the item.

I appreciate the applicant putting up the story poles because that made it even more evidently clear what I thought the last time. 1 understand the need but I'm not at all in favor of the solution. City of Burlingame Page 11 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 > I get the reasoning for bringing an elevator up, but 1 have to agree with everybody. A 20-foot tower on top of a 47-foot building, we need to be able to come up with something better. > Consider taking the elevator outside of the building. There's an inside corner area that if you went up the side it would be less weird looking than in the middle of the roof. Because the story poles don't lie. I saw it in every direction as I circled the project. Study the possibility of putting it on the backside of the building, going up the side and cladding it in glass instead, not the most economical but it might make it look less intentionally in the wrong place. > I totally appreciate the need. I appreciate the reason. I appreciate the challenges and the desire to solve this in an economical fashion. It doesn't change the fact that it's a 20-foot eyesore on top of a 47 -foot building. So, I have not come up with a way to change that other than figuring out how to recess it. Only other way would be looking at a different elevator that's hydraulic that pushes up from underneath and not an overhead which needs so much over travel. I have never seen a 20-foot tall elevator penthouse. I don't know how to make this any better for them at this point, not without adding a tremendous amount of cost. So, I'm struggling with how we help them resolve this. > This is just an eyesore and I can't see approving it. Again, they have to come up with maybe a different device that might work in this situation. This not going to work. > I understand they are in a pickle. It's an existing elevator. Not that they can rebuild that anywhere they want around the building, but historically throughout architecture and design, you come up with decorative elements to hide the things you don't want to see. Consider some type of a false shell around what they are proposing. Part of the problem is that it's tall and it's skinny. But if it had a shell around it that serves no purpose other than decoratively to make it a little wider so that scale feels a little bit wider and shorter respectively and finish off the shell so it looks like the building. Some kind of glass panels wrapped around it or something so at least it looks like the building instead of just a shaft sticking up. It's just an idea if there's no other way to relocate this elevator. They need to build something to service this elevator shaft. > There's got to be a way to make it blend in. It's not so tall but it doesn't blend in with the building. Regarding my fellow commissioner's comment, if I'm reading the drawings correctly, this is a hydraulic plan underneath but there's a requirement by code for four feet above the car when it's at the height of it so a guy doesn't get crushed in there. If the elevator was ten feet, it's still 20 feet. > Just one last comment that came up at the last review, so they are going to upgrade the elevator to get equipment onto the roof but it doesn't land you on the roof. It lands you on a platform that is five steps above the roof, so they are still going to have a problem with people having to carry things on stairs. It seems to me that simple roof mounted equipment hoisted on the end of the parapet, a small crane where they can bring stuff up from the ground to the roof would be solving the problem much more economically for them and wouldn't create an eyesore in the building, so maybe they just go back to square one and think about what is the use case for this in the first place. Just to permanently mount it. It's like a window washer crane, right. That can just lever off the side of building and lift up the side. > That's a very good point because their argument is they want all these solar panels. Chair Gaul re -opened the public hearing. > I want to address a comment regarding the stairs. As we thought that the elevator is the safest and most efficient way to get there. The stairs were unavoidable but five or six stairs is far preferable than going up. It's 19 steeper steps on an access ladder and it's safer when carrying equipment up when you have room to carry that equipment up and down. We would prefer to get this approved of course. It serves a functional purpose. But if rejection is eminent, I would prefer to continue this. Chair Gaul closed the public hearing.

I appreciate you guys doing that. I know that sometimes doesn't pan out economically but it's a great benefit. Consider making the amenity area on the first floor something that was open to the public as with the building tenants. Maybe a cafeteria type place because there will be a lot of foot traffic from the hotel. People are looking for things to do. Otherwise, good job. > Thank you again for the presentation. It has gotten better each time. I appreciate the effort being put into it, especially the effort into bringing down the scale of the building, the incredible effort on the public park in the back and the open space. I recognize there's a lot of money and effort being put into that area as a public amenity and it's great. The cafe piece worked really great. All of that is good. I encourage your amenity programming to consider how food and beverage might benefit your tenants as well. This area doesn't have a lot of places. So your little 1800 square foot cafe will be potentially mobbed. There is still more opportunity in that amenity space for good programming that would help in that area. But otherwise, great job. I'm in support of this project and want to see it go forward. > They've done a great job addressing all our comments, great project and I'm ready to approve it. > It has been really wonderful listening to and working with this group.

The overall architecture has really risen to the occasion, no pun intended. It will be a good landmark building and with Topgolf going in across. The cafe leaves more to be desired but we'll have a Topgolf across the street and other amenities going down the road. My little concern is that the cafe, although it sounds nice in that location, it's going to be facing the freeway. It may get a little loud. Does that matter? I don't think so. I would love more City of Burlingame Page 13 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 amenity space but I think they've done a nice job here and I look forward to approving it. > I agree with my fellow commissioners. I think Gensler did a great job. > I would agree. Let's get this thing into engineering so we can save that 32 feet and not have to go to concrete. But to reiterate my point, if you can make more public space, it would be very helpful and beneficial to the city, to the hotel guests and even to the tenants of the building. It's going to be a landmark building and the first things you see when you get off at Anza Boulevard which will be a more popular off -ramp in the coming years. With Topgolf across the street, it will be a good addition to the area. It's a good development. I really like to see this move forward.

I would like to compliment the team from Thomas James Homes, they are very upfront and had a nice conversation with the neighbors here. My wife and I own the home adjacent to this property. If you look at the house from the street, we are on the left hand side. I just want to note for the record that it is a bit tricky topography on the property where it slopes. It also has some retainage at the rear of the property but there is also a good 7' down from our property down to the elevation of the lots between us. It has always been a little bit of a slope, probably was put around a hundred years ago when the first homes were built. I just want to bring that to your attention so that when we do fill work and looking at retention walls, we have to be careful about that. Maybe there is a change of slope problem and erosion which could affect our house on that side. I would also like to note that we have a couple of mature trees on the boundary line and to be careful during construction work to preserve it as best as they can. Thank you. Chair Gaul closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion/Direction: City of Burlingame Page 14 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 > Consider a weather protection, maybe a cantilever or awning at the rear elevation entry door, it looks a little bit exposed. > Provide some ventilation at the attic. Some gable venting could add decoratively to the design. > We typically see plate height at 9'-0" on the first floor and 8"-0" on the second floor. The drawings indicate 9'-1"and 8'-1"respectively. > Fix drafting error on the front elevation where the door and side lite is located. > Overall, it is a good project. I would like to see some clarifications on the materials, specifically the shutters and the decorative foams at the front. I want to hear form my fellow commissioners about their take on the plate heights. I know it is just an inch but if we give an inch here, the next one will be 9'-27 . > The electrical panel looks very odd to me. I see what they are doing, corner boards that build out a shaft for the mechanical, but it just looks very strange. There are other ways to do it. There is plenty of room on that nice long wall. With a 2 x 6 exterior wall, there will be plenty of room. I'd like to see it addressed and dealt in a better fashion. > I am not fully comprehending all of the slope within the drawings. I looked at two different landscape drawings that show different stair configurations. I appreciate the neighbor being transparent about the side to side conditions of the properties. There needs to be a more thorough retaining on the civil drawings and show this because they are asking us to approve it to go over the height limit on a 5' floor to curb. The design of the house can go down 1'-6" easily. They need to work a little bit on that. The square footage numbers on the plan don't match the staff report and the FAR and lot coverage don't add up. Please provide clarification there. The front windows, we don't really see 8'- 0" windows. All of a sudden, we are seeing them in all of this company's projects. It is not typical for homes in Burlingame. I had 7'- 0' windows and I thought they were tall. You need to rethink some of these. The window on the right side of the porch is not scaled correctly. The side lite on the door does not work. We keep pushing all these windows up high underneath the eaves and there will be structural problems with that. Pushing these windows to 8'- 0" in all of these projects is creating a problem. Overall, the project looks pretty good but there are things that we have brought up that should be looked at for the next time when it comes back. > I wanted to reiterate the point my fellow commissioner brought up about the 8'- 0" windows. That is not really working for me. It is not nestled very nicely inside the front porch, it seems very tall underneath that porch and it is no longer relating itself to the front door. In the earlier project, they said they have the 8'- 0' tall door to match the windows. This one does not do either. I would want to see that window pushed down as well as the side lite. It just looks strange that both of them are floating taller than the tall door. I don 't even know if I like the 8'- 0" tall entry door. That area needs to be re -looked at. One of the definitions of a Cape Cod home is symmetry. On the rear elevation, the windows on the primary bedroom, over the family room windows down below, should be split up or separated a little bit symmetrically over the roof of the covered porch. Something should adjust there to make it balanced. Also consider a weather protection above the rear door if possible. > I don't understand why the 9'- I" plate height is allowed and does not trigger a Special Permit. Usually, you see a 9'- 0" plate height and the ceiling becomes 8'- 11". It is interesting that this is 9'- 1'; I don't know if this is finished or unfinished. Please clarify, make it really clean and 9'-0" finish and same with the 8'-1' at the second floor. I don't see a need for the increased building height. Once you adjust for the grade, you are going to have some height issues to address. Consider looking at that as may be the reason for height request because the drawings were presented as if it is on a flat parcel. I don't see some justification for that height.

Public Comments: > Public comment sent via email by Martin John Lee, 2103 Carmelita Avenue: The proposal extends beyond the declining height envelope, not by a small amount, but by an enormous amount. More than half of the proposed development encroaches on the declining height plane. The significant departure beyond the declining height envelope results in a significant loss of natural daylight to the adjacent property and an increase in overshadowing. The proposed increased in height will further compound the issue of overshadowing to the neighboring property. There are a significant number of new windows proposed on the second floor addition on the side elevation (five in total). Because the addition extends beyond the declining height plane, this will result in significant increase in overlooking onto the neighboring property. On the rear elevation, the portion of the second floor that extends beyond the declining height envelope has a set of French doors and balcony. These will also result in overlooking into neighboring property. I1 the proposal is setback within the required declining height envelope, this will not be an issue. All of the above issues are a result of the proposed addition stepping significantly beyond the declining height envelope. Chair Gaul closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion/Direction: > The architecture is really good. The second floor, especially at the back, and roofline looks a lot better. It was really well proportioned. I like that they are saving the house, so I am in favor of this. > I totally echo my fellow commissioner's comments. I completely understand the need for the Special Permit for Declining Height Envelope and I totally support that based on the findings. The applicant gave a reasonable response regarding the Special Permit for the second story plate height. In keeping with the architecture of the home, with the applicant mentioning interior details, I can understand why an 8'-6" plate height would certainly be nice to have and would fit, so I am in favor. > I can appreciate the way that the Declining Height Envelope was calculated may reflect the actual site, but it changes the departure point considerably. I would be in favor in looking at something that is not as quite restrictive as that, but this house is pushing dramatically over to the left and is going to tower over that neighbor's house on the left. The pop out for the bathroom overdoes it. Consider moving the wall further in and not make it lopsided. I like the architecture. The new windows at the second floor are big and will just pound on the left side neighbor. There needs to be more consideration on that. I don't see supporting these Variance requests given how much impact it will have on the left side neighbor. > I echo what my fellow commissioner just said. I feel that the left side of the house is towering over the left side neighbor. The property and the street slope upwards. There is a little bit of imbalance with so much of the addition over on the left side and extending way beyond the Declining Height Envelope. I can understand the challenges that they are working with and can accept some penetration of the Declining Height Envelope. I don't feel that the primary bathroom needs to have the vanity protrude out at the bay window extension. It can be a beautiful and generously laid out bathroom tucked in to reduce the encroachment on the left side. I feel for the neighbors to the left as well and cannot support that much penetration at the Declining Height Envelope, at least at this point. > Similarly, I agree with my fellow commissioners. I very much appreciate the reuse and the respect of the home, its architecture and its history. I do think there is room to pull the addition in a bit because it will definitely be a burden more than the usual. Good job so far but more can be done to help the issue. > I agree with the recent comments. It is a nice looking addition but it is a little lopsided on the left side. Suggests to show a different point of departure if the lot did not slope to help bolster the argument for the Declining Height Envelope. We all get it that the property slopes at the back, but if this is shown to us as if it is a flat lot, it might be presented to us that it would be acceptable. The left side needs to be revisited a bit. > I agree, that left side needs to be looked at. Otherwise, it is a nice project. They have tied it in well with the existing home. City of Burlingame Page 17 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 14, 2022 > Following up on the declining height envelope suggestion, an interesting way to look at it more objectively would be an average of the front and the rear corners on the existing building in that driveway.

City of Burlingame Page 18 BUR 97ME STAFF REPORT AGENDA NO: 10c RR= MEETING DATE: September 5, 2023 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Date: September 5, 2023 From: Syed Murtuza, Director of Public Works — (650) 558-7230 Kevin Okada, Senior Civil Engineer — (650) 558-7213 Jennifer Lee, Environmental Regulatory Compliance Manager— (650) 558-7381 Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Water Supply Assessment for Private Development Project Located at 1499 Old Bayshore Highway RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving a Water Supply Assessment for 1499 Old Bayshore Highway. BACKGROUND Sections 10910 through 10915 of the California Water Code require the preparation of a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for certain development projects that are subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The projects requiring WSAs are described in Water Code Section 10912(a): 1. A proposed residential development of more than 500 dwelling units. 2. A proposed shopping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet of floor space. 3. A proposed commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet of floor space. (emphasis added) 4. A proposed hotel or motel, or both, having more than 500 rooms. 5. A proposed industrial, manufacturing, or processing plant, or industrial park planned to house more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet of floor area. 6. A mixed -use project that includes one or more of the projects specified in this subdivision. 7. A project that would demand an amount of water equivalent to, or greater than, the amount of water required by a 500 dwelling unit project. In short, the WSA evaluates the available water supply and the project's water demand. The WSA is required to evaluate whether the total projected water supplies available during normal, single - dry, and multiple -dry water years during a 20-year projection are sufficient to meet the water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the demand of existing and planned future uses. The Water Code requires that a WSA include, among other things, identification of 1 Resolution Approving Water Supply Assessment September 5, 2023 1499 Old Bayshore Highway water supply entitlements/rights/contracts relevant to the supply for the project and a review of related information in the City's Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) if a project includes groundwater supplies. Following preparation of a WSA, the City Council, as the governing body of the water system, is tasked with approving it if it complies with the Water Code requirements. Upon approval, the WSA is submitted to the lead agency for inclusion in the CEQA document being prepared for the proposed project. Approval of a project's WSA is not equivalent to approval of the development project; again, the WSA's analysis will be incorporated into a project's CEQA review, and the project will be considered by the appropriate City body for approval. The 2.97-acre project site at 1499 Old Bayshore Highway ("1499 Old Bayshore Project") proposes to construct approximately 304,354 square feet of total building area. The one multi -story building will be comprised of approximately 237,176 square feet of office and R&D (Research and Development) space, 3,467 square feet of exercise room, 3,224 square feet of cafe, and 60,478 square feet of other uses. The net annual water demand is estimated to be 17 million gallons (MG) per year at build -out. DISCUSSION The project at 1499 Old Bayshore Highway meets the definition of a "project" requiring a WSA pursuant to Water Code Section 10912(a)(3) since the project involves "a proposed commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet of floor space." The City retained the outside consultant firm EKI, Inc. to prepare the WSA for the project in accordance with the Water Code. The WSA is attached for the City Council's review and consideration, and this staff report provides an overview of its analyses and conclusions. WSA Analysis; Bay Delta Amendment Scenarios The City's 2020 UWMP and the WSA consider whether the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary ("Bay -Delta Plan Amendment") will be implemented and how it will affect the supply reliability of the City and County of San Francisco's Regional Water System, which is the City's sole source of water supply. Given this uncertainty, the WSA analyzes water supply and demands through 2045 under three scenarios: 1. Scenario 1: Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment 2. Scenario 2: Without implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment 3. Scenario 3: Implementation of the Proposed Voluntary Agreement The Bay -Delta Plan Amendment involves changes to flow requirements (i.e., a "water budget") that may be implemented based on the region's needs. If implemented, the Bay -Delta Amendment could require the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to divert a significant amount of water to the San Joaquin River tributaries with the goal of increasing salmon populations. The resulting water supply projections prepared by SFPUC indicate a significant shortage in dry years. If SFPUC is unable to meet the demands of its customers (like the City) in dry years, a series of water conservation efforts will be necessary. Therefore, the WSA analyzes whether there is 2 Resolution Approving Water Supply Assessment September 5, 2023 1499 Old Bayshore Highway sufficient water supply available for the projects in scenarios that include or do not include the Bay - Delta Plan Amendment, as well as in a scenario that involves a voluntary agreement between the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and the State. Conclusion and Recommendation of the WSA for the 1499 Old Bayshore Highway Project The City's 2020 UWMP demand projections account for growth projected within the City's 2019 General Plan. In 2022, the City conducted an update to its water demand projections using its Demand Management Decision Support System Model (DSS Model) to incorporate the additional residential water demand associated with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation and the City's ongoing Housing Element update. The DSS Model projects the City's Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) demand to be 502 MGY by 2030 and 618 MGY by 2045. When considered with the demands of other recently approved and planned WSAs, the cumulative demand of the two most -recently proposed projects (i.e., the 1499 Old Bayshore Highway project and the 1200-1340 Old Bayshore Highway project) is 9 MGY more than the City's projected CII demands for the year 2030. Based on the proportional water demand of the two most -recently proposed projects, the 1499 Old Bayshore Highway project is responsible for 16% of the 9 MGY overage, and the 1200-1340 Old Bayshore Highway project is responsible for the remaining 84%. The City has sufficient supplies for the additional 9 MGY of demand of the two most -recently proposed projects in normal years but not during single or multiple dry years with implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment. The worst -case shortfall shown in the 2020 UWMP is anticipated for a multiple dry year drought starting in 2045. In this scenario, the City would experience up to a 53.3% shortfall without the demand associated with the two most -recently proposed projects. Adding 9 MGY to this water demand would create an additional 0.3% shortfall (for a total shortfall of 53.6%), which the City has determined can be mitigated with an additional 4.2 MGY of supply or a reduction of 4.2 MGY in demand. In 2020, BAWSCA completed the Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections Project. This regionwide effort developed water demand and conservation projections through 2045 for each BAWSCA member agency. This Demand Study estimated that the City could achieve 56 MGY of water savings by 2045 through the implementation of water conservation measures listed in Appendix F of the attached BAWSCA Regional Demand Study. The study also provided cost estimates for implementing conservation measures that would cost a total of $3.5 million (in 2023 dollars) to achieve 56 MGY of water savings (or $62,500/MGY). Therefore, applying the same cost assumptions ($62,500/MGY), it is estimated that mitigating 4.2 MGY of demand would cost approximately $270,000. This WSA assumes that the cost of conservation will be proportionately split between the two projects that currently exceed the UWMP projections, which will require the 1499 Old Bayshore Highway project to be responsible for 16% of the cost (i.e., a single payment of $43,200) and the 1200-1340 Old Bayshore Highway project to be responsible for 84% of the remaining cost. This Developer Offset Fee will be used by the City to fund customer conservation programs as well as accelerate development of water supply and water efficiency projects. With implementation of the Developer Offset Fee Program, the 1499 Old Bayshore Highway project will mitigate its impact on the City's demand and supply reliability. As a result, the 1499 Old 3 Resolution Approving Water Supply Assessment September 5, 2023 1499 Old Bayshore Highway Bayshore Highway project is not anticipated to result in an increase in demands or decrease in supply reliability for the City relative to those projected in the City's 2020 UWMP and the City's 2020 water demand projections update. All other new developments that are expected to result in a net demand increase on the City's projected demands will also be required to comply with the Program and thus will result in no additional impact on the City's water demand and supply reliability. As noted above, the findings of this WSA are contingent upon compliance with this Program. The WSA concludes that, through implementation of the City's Development Offset Program, the project will not affect water supply reliability within the City beyond what has been projected, assuming actual water demands are within the projected water demands as calculated in the WSA. In single and multiple dry years, the shortfalls are projected to range from 14% to 53% and the City will have to implement significant reductions identified in its Water Supply Contingency Plan in order to ensure demand is met, particularly if the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is implemented.a It should be noted that while the above conclusions are based on worst case condition assumptions per the City's 2020 Urban Water Management Plan in accordance with the water supply information made available by SFPUC, both BAWSCA and SFPUC are pursuing the development of additional water supplies to improve the Regional Water System and local supply reliability, which is anticipated to minimize potential impacts during multiple dry years conditions. Given the continual drought and concerns for future multiple dry year droughts, the WSA recommends that the proposed project implement conservation measures to increase water resiliency, including but not limited to the following: 1. Install purple piping in the frontage of the Project sites for future recycled water usage; 2. Implement the prescriptive compliance option of the Model Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance (see California Code of Regulations Title 23, Chapter 2.7, Appendix D); 3. Install 100% WaterSense labeled products, as available; and 4. Under Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, incorporate a minimum of four points under the Water Efficiency credit category. If the City Council approves the WSA, their findings and analysis (including recommended mitigation) will be considered during the environmental review for each project. CONCLUSION Staff has reviewed the WSA for 1499 Old Bayshore Highway and finds that it complies with the Water Code and contains substantial evidence supporting the conclusion, and therefore recommends approval of the WSA. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with approval of WSA. a If the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is implemented, the City will experience supply shortfalls of up to 53%, and the WSA indicates that the City will need to work with other agencies to identify mitigations to improve the reliability of regional and local water supplies as well as implement its own demand reduction actions in order to ensure demand is met. C Resolution Approving Water Supply Assessment 1499 Old Bayshore Highway September 5, 2023 Exhibits: • Resolution • Water Supply Assessment for 1499 Old Bayshore Highway • BAWSCA Regional Demand Study RESOLUTION NO.

Water Code [CWC or Water Code]) requires urban water supplies to prepare a WSA to the city or county that has jurisdiction to approve the environmental documentation for certain qualifying projects as defined in Water Code §10912(a). This WSA was prepared for the proposed 1499 Old Bayshore Highway development ("Proposed Project"). The Proposed Project meets the definition of "project" as defined in Water Code §10912(a)(e) because it includes a commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet (sq ft) of floor space. The Proposed Project consists of 304,354 sq ft office and research and development (R&D) building, 208,423 sq ft parking structures, and associated irrigated landscaping (ICF, 2023a; 2023b; Appendix A). The City of Burlingame (City) will be the water service provider for the Proposed Project. The information provided in this WSA is consistent with Water Code §10910-10912 requirements and the California Department of Water Resources' (DWR's) Guidebook for Implementation of Senate Bill 610 and Senate Bill 221 of 2001: To Assist Water Suppliers, Cities, and Counties in Integrating Water and Land Use Planning, dated 8 October 2003. The purpose of this WSA is to evaluate whether the City has sufficient water supply to meet the current and planned water demands within its service area, including the demands associated with the Proposed Project, during normal and dry hydrologic years over a 20-year time horizon. More specifically, this WSA includes: • A summary of the WSA requirements articulated in Water Code §10910-10912 and a description of how they apply to the Proposed Project (Sections 2 and 3); • A description and analysis of the current and projected future water demands of the Proposed Project through the year 2045 (Section 4); • A description and analysis of the historical and current water demands for the City, and projected future water demands for its service area through the year 2045 (Section 5); • A description and analysis of the current and projected future water supplies for the City's service area through the year 2045 (Section 6); and • A comparison of the water supplies and demands for the City's service area, including the projected water demands associated with the Proposed Project (Section 7). The information contained in this WSA is based primarily on the City's 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), except where updated with relevant water demand and supply reliability and other information provided by DWR, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), and the City (City of Burlingame, 2023). The findings of this WSA are contingent upon implementation of the City's Development Offset Program (Program). This Program is discussed further in Section 4.1. July 2023 Page 1 of 23 1.1 WSA Determination A significant source of uncertainty identified in the City's 2020 UWMP and this WSA is whether the Water Quality Control Plan forthe San Francisco/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Bay - Delta Plan Amendment)' will be implemented and how it will affect the supply reliability of the City and County of San Francisco's Regional Water System (RWS), which is the City's sole source of supply. Given this uncertainty, and based on information provided by the SFPUC and BAWSCA, this WSA analyzes water supply and demands through 2045 under three scenarios: 1. Scenario 1: Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment 2. Scenario 2: Without implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment 3. Scenario 3: Implementation of the Proposed Voluntary Agreement Scenario 1 (Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment): With the implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, the City has sufficient water supply to meet all of its expected future water demands, including the demands of the Proposed Project, in normal years. In dry years, the City will implement its Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) and apply the appropriate water demand reduction actions in order to ensure demand is met. Regardless of whether the Proposed Project is constructed, as described in the City's adopted 2020 UWMP and in Section 6.2.1 herein, with implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, the City is projecting supply shortfalls of up to 45.3% during single dry years and up to 53.3% during multiple dry years in 2045 and will require significant demand reductions or development of alternative water supply sources. The City is working independently and with the other BAWSCA agencies to identify mitigation measures to improve the reliability of regional and local water supplies and to meet its customers' water needs. If conditions for large drought cutbacks to the RWS supplies persist, the City will need to implement additional demand reduction actions, invoke strict restrictions on potable water use, and accelerate efforts to develop alternative supplies of water. Scenario 2 (Without Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment): Without the implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, the City has sufficient water supply to meet all of its future water demands, including the demands of the Proposed Project, in normal years, single dry years, and most multiple dry years. As discussed in Section 6.2.3 herein, it is anticipated that the City will face supply shortfalls of 14.3% during the 4th and 5th years of a multiple -year drought in 2045, during which the City would implement its WSCP to curtail demands and ensure that its supplies remain sufficient to serve all users, including those of the Proposed Project. Scenario 3 (Voluntary Agreement): The SFPUC is in active negotiations with the State to see if a compromise can be reached wherein the impacts of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment to the RWS 1On December 12, 2018, through State Water Board Resolution 2018-0059, the State Water Board amended the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Bay -Delta Plan). It adopted the amendments to the Bay -Delta Plan and the Final SED establishing the Lower San Joaquin River flow objectives and revised southern Delta salinity objectives. On February 25, 2019, the Office of Administrative Law approved the Bay -Delta Plan amendments, which are now in effect. July 2023 Page 2 of 23 can be minimized. Under this scenario, the City is assumed to have sufficient water to meet all of its future water demands, including the demands of the Proposed Project, in normal years. It is anticipated that, in single and multiple dry year scenarios, the City would implement its WSCP to curtail demands and ensure that its supplies remain sufficient to serve all users, including the Proposed Project. This scenario is based on the assumption that demand will not be curtailed beyond the SFPUC Level of Service (LOS) goal of not exceeding 20% system wide rationing. Additionally, based on the uncertainty of future water supplies, the City Public Works Department recommends the following Project -specific measures to increase resiliency. If any of these recommendations are found to be infeasible, the Proposed Project applicant may submit a technical analysis to the Public Works Director for review: 1. Install purple piping in the frontage of the Proposed Project site for future recycled water usage; 2. Follow the Prescriptive Compliance Option of the Model Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance (MWELO), see California Code of Regulations Title 23, Chapter 2.7, Appendix D;z 3. Install 100% WaterSense labeled products, as available; and 4. Under Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, incorporate a minimum of four points under the Water Efficiency credit category.3 This WSA concludes that, through implementation of the City's Development Offset Program, the Proposed Project will not affect the City's water supply reliability assuming actual water demands are within the projected water demands as calculated in Table 1. Based on currently available information, the City expects to be able to meet all future demands within its service area inclusive of the Proposed Project in normal hydrologic years and dry years. The shortfalls that are currently projected during dry years will be addressed through planned implementation of the City's 2020 WSCP.4 In addition, as described herein and in the City's 2020 UWMP, the City, BAWSCA, and SFPUC are pursuing the development of additional water supplies and mitigation measures to improve the RWS and local supply reliability. 1.2 WSA Approval Approval of this WSA by the Burlingame City Council is not equivalent to approval of the development project for which the WSA is prepared. A WSA is an informational document required to be prepared for use in the City's environmental review of a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Furthermore, this WSA does not verify the adequacy of existing distribution system capacity to serve the Proposed Project. z The California Code of Regulations Title 23, Chapter 2.7, Appendix D can be found online here. s A list of LEED credits for water efficiency is available at https://www.usgbc.org/credits?Category=%22Water+efficiency%22 a The City's 2020 WSCP is available at https://www.burlingame.org/document center/Water/CityofBurlingame 2020 UWMP.pdf July 2023 Page 3 of 23 2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR A WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT The purpose of this section is to outline the types of projects that require the preparation of a WSA, who is responsible for preparation, and the necessary components of a WSA. 2.1 Applicability of California Water Code to the Project As described in detail in Section 3, the Proposed Project meets the definition of "project" as defined in Water Code §10912(a) and §10912(e) because it includes a commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 sq ft of floor space. 2.2 Responsibility for Preparation of the Water Supply Assessment The Proposed Project is located within the City's service area (Figure 1) and the water for the Proposed Project will be supplied by the City. Therefore, in accordance with Water Code §10910(b), the City is the entity responsible for preparation and adoption of a WSA for the Proposed Project. 2.3 Purpose of a Water Supply Assessment Per Water Code §10910(c)(4), the primary purpose of a WSA is to evaluate whether sufficient water supply is available to meet all future demands within the water supplier's service area, including those associated with the Proposed Project, during normal and dry hydrologic years for a 20-year planning horizon. 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Proposed Project is located on two assessor's parcel numbers (APNs) 026-322-150 and 026- 322-050. The Proposed Project is bounded to the west by Mahler Road, to the east by the Old Bayshore Highway, and to the south by Mills Creek (Figure 2). The approximately 2.97-acre development includes one multi -story office and R&D building. The Proposed Project includes 237,176 sq ft of office and R&D space, 3,467 sq ft of exercise room, 3,224 sq ft of cafe, and 60,478 sq ft of other uses including loading docks, services areas, hallways, and staircases, totaling approximately 304,354 sq ft of Commercial, Industrial and Institutional (CII) use. The Proposed Project also includes 208,423 sq ft of associated parking and 24,717 sq ft of landscaped area (ICF, 2023a; 2023b; Appendix A). Construction will occur in phases, with full buildout anticipated to be complete by second quarter of 2025 (ICF, 2023a; Appendix A). As shown on Figure 2, the Proposed Project site is currently occupied by two existing two-story commercial use buildings and a single concrete tilt -up warehouse building, both with surface parking and minimal landscaping (City of Burlingame, 2023b). Historical water use at the site averaged over the 2017 to 2022 time period is approximately 0.19 million gallons per year (MGY) (City of Burlingame, 2023a). The Proposed Project is located within the City's service area and potable water service to the Proposed Project will be provided by the City. July 2023 Page 4 of 23 4 PROJECT WATER DEMAND The City has adopted green building standards and water efficient landscaping ordinances consistent with previous versions of the CalGreen building standards and the California MWELO and all new developments must comply with these efficiency standards. As discussed in Section 1, based on the uncertainty of future water supplies, the Proposed Project is highly recommended to implement the following water conservation measures to increase water resiliency: 1. Install purple piping in the frontage of the Proposed Project site for future recycled water usage; 2. Follow the Prescriptive Compliance Option of MWELO, see California Code of Regulations Title 23, Chapter 2.7, Appendix D ; 5 3. Install 100% WaterSense labeled products, as available; and 4. Under LEED certification, incorporate a minimum of four points under the Water Efficiency credit category.6 If these recommendations are found to be infeasible, the Proposed Project applicant may submit a technical analysis to the Public Works Director for review. For purposes of this analysis, these conservation measures are not considered in the calculations and assumptions provided herein. As described below, average annual water demand for the Proposed Project was estimated based on: (1) information provided by the Proposed Project proponent in coordination with the City (ICF, 2023a; 2023b; Appendix A); and (2) water demand factors identified in literature and other public sources for similar land uses. Total water demands include water used by the Proposed Project for office uses, R&D uses, amenities use, landscaping, and parking structure cleaning. Table 1 includes a summary of the incremental water demand projections associated with the proposed land uses, in five-year increments through 2045. Full project buildout is anticipated to be achieved by second quarter of 2025 (ICF, 2023a; Appendix A). Table 1 also provides a summary of the land uses, unit water demand factors, and respective water demand associated with each land use. 4.1 City's Development Offset Program In the City's 2020 UWMP, the City developed water consumption projections over the next 20 years for each customer class. These projections reveal a severe water shortage under the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment. Since the release of the 2020 UWMP, the City has received planning applications for new development projects that are required by CWC §10910-10915 to prepare WSAs. Water demands for some of these projects were included in the City's 2020 UWMP water S The California Code of Regulations Title 23, Chapter 2.7, Appendix D can be found online here. 6 A list of LEED credits for water efficiency is available at https://www. usgbc.org/cred its?CategorV=%22 Water+efficiency%22 July 2023 Page 5 of 23 demand projections and the City's 2022 water demand projections update (see Section 5.1). However, as the City received more large-scale planning applications, it became apparent that the projected water demands associated with those projects exceeded what was previously projected in the UWMP. As a result, the City has developed a Development Offset Program (Program) to show how future demands will be met through the implementation of citywide water conservation programs. The purpose of the Program is to ensure that the overall customer demand for water does not exceed available current or future supply under a range of hydrologic conditions, and to ensure the availability of water for residential, commercial, and other purposes for future water use in this service area. The City will require the project proponent to pay for water conservation programs to offset the demand overage. 4.2 Research & Development Use The Proposed Project is not tenant -specific and may accommodate multiple tenants. Tenant improvements and usage within the buildings could range from a 100% R&D use to a 100% professional office use, or a combination thereof. This analysis conservatively assumes the 100% R&D use scenario, as R&D use has a higher water demand factor compared to that of office use; therefore, approximately 237,176 sq ft of R&D use is anticipated (ICF, 2023a; 2023b; Appendix A). It is noted that water use by R&D varies significantly based on the specific operations of the facility. In absence of specific information regarding facility water uses, the water demand for the R&D use is estimated based on a demand factor of 0.18 gallons per day per square foot (GPD/sq ft), based on information from the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Genentech Campus Master Plan Update, which represents a mix of laboratory, amenity, and office uses typical to an R&D campus (Genentech, 2019).7 Based on the demand factor identified above, the total estimated R&D water use for the Proposed Project is estimated to be 16 MGY. 4.3 Amenities Water Use The Proposed Project includes approximately 3,467 sq ft of exercise room, 3,224 sq ft of cafe, and 60,478 sq ft of "other" uses including loading docks, services areas, hallways, and staircases (ICF, 2023a; 2023b). Water use factors for each amenity use type are as follows: 0.21 GPD/sq ft for the exercise room, 0.069 GPD/sq ft for the cafe, and 0.055 GPD/sq ft for "other" uses. The water use factor for the exercise room is from the 2020 City of Ventura Water Demand Factor Study (City of Ventura, 2020), the cafe water use factor is from the US Energy Information Administration Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS, 2012), and the "other" use factor is the office demand factor from the Genentech Draft EIR mentioned above in (Genentech, 2019).8 The resultant water demand associated with the amenities portion of the Proposed Project by full buildout is estimated to be 1.6 MGY. ' The R&D demand factor was calculated by dividing the total water use of the Genentech campus in 2016 by the total area of the campus, which includes associated laboratory, office, and other ancillary uses typical of a R&D campus, to estimate demand per area. ' An office water use factor of 0.055 gpd/sq ft is conservatively used to calculate the water demand associated with the "other" uses. July 2023 Page 6 of 23 4.4 Parking Structure Water Use The Proposed Project includes a multi -story parking structure, totaling approximately 208,423 scl ft parking (ICF, 2023a; 2023b; Appendix A). Water use associated with this space is anticipated to be minimal, limited to cleaning of the facility. For purposes of this WSA, it is assumed that the garage will be cleaned 12 times per year and that 0.02 gallons per scl ft will be used per each cleaning event (City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering, 2012). Thus, it is estimated that 0.050 MGY will be used for the purpose of cleaning the parking garage. 4.5 Outdoor Water Use Per ICF, the Proposed Project includes a total of 24,717 scl ft of landscaped area (Appendix B). As shown in Table 2, irrigated landscape water use was calculated based on the Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA) per the City's Water Conservation in Landscape Ordinance.9 Based on this methodology, it is estimated that the total irrigated landscape water use for the Proposed Project will be 0.30 MGY by full buildout.11 4.6 Total Project Water Demand Historical water use for the current land use at the Proposed Project site over the last five years (i.e., 2017 — 2021) ranged between 0.009 and 0.32 MGY, and averaged 0.19 MGY (City of Burlingame, 2023). Thus, based on the above methodologies and assumptions, and adjusting for the existing water use at the site, the incremental water demand associated with the Proposed Project at full buildout and occupancy is estimated to be 17 MGY, as shown in Table 1. However, as discussed in Sections 4.1 and 5.1, in accordance with the City's Development Offset Program, the Proposed Project is expected to pay a Development Offset Fee that will be used to fund expanded customer conservation programs as well as accelerated water supply and water efficiency projects to offset a portion of the Proposed Project's water demand. Therefore, the Proposed Project is not expected to result in a net increase in the City's water demands beyond those projected in the City's 2020 UWMP water demand projections and the City's 2022 water demand projections update. 5 CITY OF BURLINGAME WATER DEMAND Consistent with the UWMP Act (Water Code §10610-10656), the 2020 UWMP for the City presents estimates of projected future water demand for the City's service area in five-year increments, between the years 2025 and 2045 (City of Burlingame, 2021). 9 The City of Burlingame Municipal Code is available at https://library.gcode.us/lib/burlingame ca/pub/municipal code/item/title 18-chapter 18 17-18 17 090 11 MAWA demands were calculated by multiplying the Reference Evapotranspiration rate of 42.8 inches per year for Redwood City, an Evapotranspiration Adjustment Factor of .45 for non-residential areas, a conversion factor of .62, and the total project square footage, for a total of 1.6 MG. July 2023 Page 7 of 23 5.1 Review of Project's Inclusion in 2020 UWMP Growth Projections The City's 2020 UWMP demand projections account for growth projected within the City's 2019 General Plan (City of Burlingame, 2019). In 2022, the City conducted an update to its water demand projections using its Demand Management Decision Support System Model (DSS Model) to incorporate the additional residential water demand associated with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA; ABAG, 2022) and the City's ongoing Housing Element update. The DSS Model projects the City's Commercial, Industrial and Institutional (CII) demand to be 502 MGY by 2030 and 618 MGY by 2045 (Table 3). When considered with the demands of other recently approved and planned WSAs described in Section 5.4, the cumulative demand of the two most -recently proposed projects (i.e., the 1499 Old Bayshore Highway project for which this WSA is being prepared and the 1200-1340 Old Bayshore Highway project [1300 project]) is 9 MGY more than the City's projected CII demands for the year 2030 (Table 3).11 Based on the proportional water demand of the two most -recently proposed projects,12 the Proposed Project is responsible for 16% of the 9 MGY overage and the 1300 project is responsible for the remaining 84%. As discussed in Section 7, the City has sufficient supplies for the additional 9 MGY of demand of the two most -recently proposed projects in normal years but not during single or multiple dry years with implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment. The worst -case shortfall shown in the 2020 UWMP is anticipated for a multiple dry year drought starting in 2045. In this scenario, the City would experience up to a 53.3% shortfall without the demand associated with the two most -recently proposed projects. Adding 9 MGY to this water demand would create an additional 0.3% shortfall (for a total shortfall of 53.6%), which the City has determined can be mitigated with an additional 4.2 MGY of supply or a reduction of 4.2 MGY in demand.13 In 2020, BAWSCA completed the Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections Project (Demand Study; BAWSCA, 2020). This regionwide effort developed water demand and conservation projections through 2045 for each BAWSCA member agency. This Demand Study estimated that the City could achieve 56 MGY of water savings by 2045 through the implementation of water conservation measures listed in Appendix F of the Demand Study. The "For the year 2030, the City is projecting a growth in CII demand of 142 MGY from the City's current (FY 2019-2020) demand. The Proposed Project along with other planned developments in the City result in a combined CII demand of 151 MGY, which is 9 MGY above the City's projected CII growth in 2030. 12 Projected water demand for the 1300 project is approximately 90 MGY, calculated using information available for the 1300 project as of 6 June 2023. 13 In the worst -case scenario, the City's projected water demand without the Proposed Project and the 1499 project is 1,697 MGY and projected supply is 792 MGY, which results in a 53.3% shortfall that will be addressed through implementation of the City's 2020 WSCP. The City's projected water demand inclusive of the Proposed Project and the 1499 project is 1,706 MGY, which increases the total shortfall by 0.3% to 53.6%. To mitigate the additional 0.3% shortfall, the project proponents are responsible for either providing an additional 4.2 MGY of supply (total supply of 796.2 MGY will result in the same 53.3% shortfall) or reducing 4.2 MGY of demand (total demand of 1,701.8 MGY will result in the same 53.3% shortfall). July 2023 Page 8 of 23 study also provided cost estimates for implementing conservation measures which would cost a total of $3.5 million (in 2023 dollars) to achieve 56 MGY of water savings (or $62,500/MGY). Therefore, applying the same cost assumptions ($62,500/MGY), it is estimated that mitigating 4.2 MGY of demand would cost approximately $270,000. This WSA assumes that the cost of conservation will be proportionately split between the two projects that currently exceed the UWMP projections, which will require the Proposed Project to be responsible for 16% of the cost (i.e., a single payment of $43,200) and the 1300 project to be responsible for 84% of the remaining cost. This Developer Offset Fee will be used by the City to fund customer conservation programs as well as accelerate development of water supply and water efficiency projects. With implementation of the Developer Offset Fee, the Proposed Project will mitigate its impact on the City's demand and supply reliability. As a result, the Proposed Project is not anticipated to result in an increase in demands or decrease in supply reliability for the City relative to those projected in the City's 2020 UWMP and the City's 2020 water demand projections update. All other new developments that are expected to result in a net demand increase on the City's projected demands will also be required to comply with the Program and thus will result in no additional impact on the City's water demand and supply reliability. As noted above, the findings of this WSA are contingent upon compliance with this Program. 5.2 Current and Historical Water Demand Within the City of Burlingame Service Area Historical water demand within the City service area from fiscal years 2005 through 2022 is summarized in Table 4 (City of Burlingame, 2016; 2021; 2022). Total City water demand has decreased by approximately 28% between 2005 and 2022 and averaged 1,238 MGY over the past five years, i.e., from 2018 through 2022. Water use from 2005 to 2008 within the City remained fairly consistent, at an average of 1,634 MGY. Water demand decreased approximately 13% between 2008 and 2010, which generally corresponds with the 2007 to 2009 drought and the economic downturn. Then, a significant drop in water demand occurred between 2014 and 2016, corresponding to the recent historic drought and mandatory state-wide water use restrictions and water conservation targets. Since 2016, water use has rebounded but has not returned to pre -drought levels. The largest proportion of water demand within the City service area is from the single-family residential (SFR) sector, which represented 42% of the demand in the 2017-2021 period. The remainder of the demand is split between multi -family residential (MFR) (19% of overall demand), commercial (13% of the overall demand), industrial (12% of overall demand), losses (5.6% of overall demand), landscape (5.2% of overall demand), and institutional/governmental (2.8% of the overall demand) (City of Burlingame, 2021; 2022). 5.3 The City of Burlingame's Water Demand Projections As part of this WSA, the City updated its water demand projections to reflect the City's ongoing Housing Element update and assigned RHNA development values. The RHNA anticipated allocation to the City is 3,257 residential units, which is a larger number of units than those projected in the City's 2019 General Plan and those incorporated in the City's 2020 UWMP. The July 2023 Page 9 of 23 City is currently revising its Housing Element to accommodate its RHNA values. The updated demand values incorporating the City's RHNA, which include both passive and active conservation savings, are presented in Table 5 in five-year increments. Also considering historical water use, expected population increase and other growth, climatic variability, and other assumptions, the water demand within the City is projected to increase to 1,697 MGY by 2045, an increase of approximately 28% compared to the 2018-2022 average. 5.4 Total Projected City of Burlingame Water Demand (Inclusive of Proposed Project) Table 5 also shows the projected water demands for the City along with the estimated Proposed Project water demands. As shown, with the implementation of the City's Program, the Proposed Project will not increase the City's projected demand beyond those projected in the City's 2020 UWMP water demand projections and the City's 2022 water demand projections update. The City approved three WSAs between 2022 and 2023 14 wherein the City made the determination that the water demand for those projects had been accounted for in the City's demand projections. It is noted that the City recently prepared another WSA for the 1300 project. The findings of the 1300 project WSA are that the 1300 project is expected to result in a net increase on the City's projected demands, and thus will also be required to comply with the Program to mitigate its impacts on the City's water demand and supply reliability. 6 THE CITY OF BURLINGAME'S WATER SUPPLY This section identifies the City's water supply and discusses the vulnerability of the City's supply to drought and other factors affecting water supply reliability. 6.1 Identification of Water Supply Rights Pursuant to Water Code §10910(d)(1), a WSA is required to include identification of all water supply entitlements, water rights, and water service contracts relevant to the identified water supply for the Proposed Project. In accordance with these requirements, this WSA includes a summary of the City's supply sources and the agreements between the City and its wholesale supplier, the SFPUC, and other parties. The primary source of this information is the City's 2020 UWMP and information provided by BAWSCA and SFPUC in support of the development of the SFPUC customer agencies' 2020 UWMPs. "The three WSAs approved in 2022/23 include the 620 Airport Boulevard project, the 777 Airport Boulevard project, and the 1669/1699 Bayshore Highway & 810/821 Malcolm Road project. July 2023 Page 10 of 23 6.1.1 SFPUC Regional Water System 6.1.1.1 RWS Supply Sources and Allocation As shown in Table 6, the singular source of water supply to the City is treated water purchased from the City and County of San Francisco's RWS, which is operated by the SFPUC (City of Burlingame, 2021). The RWS supply originates predominantly from the Sierra Nevada but also includes treated water produced by the SFPUC from its local watersheds and facilities in Alameda and San Mateo Counties. Approximately 85% of the RWS supply is from the Tuolumne River via the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and aqueducts. The City's RWS supply is sourced from the remaining 15%, which is derived from local watersheds and the San Antonio, Calaveras, Crystal Springs, Pilarcitos, and San Andreas Reservoirs. The business relationship between the City and County of San Francisco and its Wholesale Customers (including the City) is largely defined by the Water Supply Agreement15 between the City and County of San Francisco and Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County, and Santa Clara County (Agreement) entered into in July 2009. The Agreement, which has a 25-year term, addresses water supply availability for the RWS as well as the methodology used by the SFPUC in setting wholesale water rates. This Agreement supersedes an earlier 25- year agreement signed in 1984, and was most recently amended in 2018 (SFPUC, 2018). The amendments included extending the deadline for SFPUC to decide whether to make San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers, a revision to the drought allocation formula, and a deadline extension for completion of its Water Supply Improvement Plan, among other things. The Agreement provides a 184 million gallons per day (MGD) Supply Assurance to the SFPUC's Wholesale Customers collectively (City of Burlingame, 2021). Each wholesale customer's share of the 184 MGD is referred to as their Individual Supply Guarantee (ISG). The City's ISG is 5.23 MGD, or approximately 1,909 MGY (City of Burlingame, 2021). Although the Agreement expires in 2034, the Supply Assurance and ISG continue in perpetuity as both are subject to separate binding water allocation agreements described above and would continue beyond the term of the Agreement. At expiration of the Agreement, it is likely that a new agreement will be entered into as was done at the termination of the prior 1984 agreement. Information regarding the Agreement and subsequent amendments was provided by BAWSCA and SFPUC in support of 2020 UWMP development and is provided verbatim below. In the 2009 Water Supply Agreement, the SFPUC committed to make three decisions before 2018 that affect water supply development: " Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco and Wholesale Customers is available at https://bawsca.org/water/reliability July 2023 Page 11 of 23 • Whether or not to make the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers, • Whether or not to supply the additional unmet supply needs of the Wholesale Customers beyond 2018, and • Whether or not to increase the wholesale customer Supply Assurance above 184 MGD. Events since 2009 made it difficult for the SFPUC to conduct the necessary water supply planning and CEQA analysis required to make these three decisions before 2018. Therefore, in the 2018 Amended and Restated Water Supply Agreement, the decisions were deferred for 10 years to 2028. Additionally, there have been recent changes to instream flow requirements and customer demand projections that have affected water supply planning beyond 2018. As a result, the SFPUC has established an Alternative Water Supply Planning program to evaluate several regional and local water supply options. Through this program, the SFPUC will conduct feasibility studies and develop an Alternative Water Supply Plan by July 2023 to support the continued development of water supplies to meet future needs. The City's current and projected purchase quantities are approximately equal to 1,271 MG in 2020 and 1,697 MG in 2045, respectively (City of Burlingame, 2021). Both current and projected quantities are less than the City's ISG of 1,909 MGY. 6.1.1.2 RWS Supply Reliability The RWS has historically met demand in its service area in all year types. Factors that will affect future reliability of the RWS are discussed below. Detailed information regarding factors that impact the SFPUC RWS supply reliability are provided in the City's 2020 UWMP (City of Burlingame, 2021). The water available to SFPUC's Retail and Wholesale Customers from the RWS is constrained by hydrology, physical facilities, and the institutional parameters that allocate the water supply of the Tuolumne River (SFPUC, 2021). In addition, statewide regulations and other factors can impact the system reliability. For example, the adoption of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is anticipated to impact the reliability of the RWS supplies in the future. If the current Bay -Delta Plan Amendment (July 2018) is implemented, the proposed unimpaired flow volumes would significantly reduce water supply available through the RWS during future drought condition. The City would be required to reduce their water use by as much as 53.3% during multi -year droughts (City of Burlingame, 2021) if no new additional imported or local supplies are developed by the SFPUC or the Wholesale Customers. In support of 2020 UWMP development, SFPUC provided a detailed discussion of the factors contributing to the significant uncertainties surrounding the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment. This discussion is excerpted below: July 2023 Page 12 of 23 In December 2018, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted amendments to the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Bay -Delta Plan Amendment) to establish water quality objectives to maintain the health of the Bay -Delta ecosystem. The SWRCB is required by law to regularly review this plan. The adopted Bay -Delta Plan Amendment was developed with the stated goal of increasing salmonid populations in three San Joaquin River tributaries (the Stanislaus, Merced, and Tuolumne Rivers) and the Bay -Delta. The Bay - Delta Plan Amendment requires the release of 30-50% of the "unimpaired flow" 16 on the three tributaries from February through June in every year type. In SFPUC modeling of the new flow standard, it is assumed that the required release is 40% of unimpaired flow. If the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is implemented, the SFPUC will be able to meet the projected water demands presented in this Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) in normal years but would experience supply shortages in single dry years or multiple dry years. Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment will require rationing in all single dry years and multiple dry years. The SFPUC has initiated an Alternative Water Supply Planning Program (AWSP) to ensure that San Francisco can meet its Retail and Wholesale Customer water needs, address projected dry years shortages, and limit rationing to a maximum 20 percent system -wide in accordance with adopted SFPUC policies. This program is in early planning stages and is intended to meet future water supply challenges and vulnerabilities such as environmental flow needs and other regulatory changes; earthquakes, disasters, and emergencies; increases in population and employment; and climate change. As the region faces future challenges — both known and unknown — the SFPUC is considering this suite of diverse non-traditional supplies and leveraging regional partnerships to meet Retail and Wholesale Customer needs through 2045. The SWRCB has stated that it intends to implement the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment on the Tuolumne River by the year 2022, assuming all required approvals are obtained by that time. But implementation of the Plan Amendment is uncertain for multiple reasons. First, since adoption of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, over a dozen lawsuits have been filed in both state and federal courts, challenging the SWRCB's adoption of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, including a legal challenge filed by the federal government, at the request of the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. This litigation is in the early stages and there have been no diapositive court rulings as of this date. Second, the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is not self -implementing and does not automatically allocate responsibility for meeting its new flow requirements to the SFPUC 16 "Unimpaired flow represents the natural water production of a river basin, unaltered by upstream diversions, storage, or by export or import of water to or from other watersheds." (Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Dec. 12, 2018) p.17, fn. 14, available at: https://www.waterboa rds.ca.gov/plans_policies/docs/2018wgcp. pdf.) July 2023 Page 13 of 23 or any other water rights holders. Rather, the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment merely provides a regulatory framework for flow allocation, which must be accomplished by other regulatory and/or adjudicatory proceedings, such as a comprehensive water rights adjudication or, in the case of the Tuolumne River, may be implemented through the water quality certification process set forth in section 401 of the Clean Water Act as part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's licensing proceedings for the Don Pedro and La Grange hydroelectric projects. It is currently unclear when the license amendment process is expected to be completed. This process and the other regulatory and/or adjudicatory proceedings would likely face legal challenges and have lengthy timelines, and quite possibly could result in a different assignment of flow responsibility (and therefore a different water supply impact on the SFPUC). Third, in recognition of the obstacles to implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, the SWRCB Resolution No. 2018-0059 adopting the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment directed staff to help complete a "Delta watershed -wide agreement, including potential flow measures for the Tuolumne River" by March 1, 2019, and to incorporate such agreements as an "alternative" for a future amendment to the Bay -Delta Plan to be presented to the SWRCB "as early as possible after December 1, 2019." In accordance with the SWRCB's instruction, on March 1, 2019, SFPUC, in partnership with other key stakeholders, submitted a proposed project description for the Tuolumne River that could be the basis for a voluntary substitute agreement with the SWRCB ("March 1st Proposed Voluntary Agreement"). On March 26, 2019, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 19-0057 to support the SFPUC's participation in the Voluntary Agreement negotiation process. To date, those negotiations are ongoing under the California Natural Resources Agency and the leadership of the Newsom administration. 17,18 The City's 2020 UWMP further summarized the current sources of uncertainty regarding RWS dry year water supply projections. This discussion is excerpted (with minor refinements) below: • Benefits of the AWSP are not accounted for in current supply projections. As discussed above, SFPUC is exploring options to increase its supplies through the AWSP. Implementation of feasible projects developed under the AWSP is not yet reflected in the supply reliability scenarios presented herein and is anticipated to reduce the projected RWS supply shortfalls. • Methodology for Tier One and Tier Two Wholesale drought allocations have not been established for wholesale shortages greater than 20%. As discussed further in Section 6.1.1.4 of this WSA, the current Tier One and Tier Two Plans are not designed for RWS supply shortages of greater than 20%. For UWMP planning purposes per BAWSCA 17 California Natural Resources Agency, "Voluntary Agreements to Improve Habitat and Flow in the Delta and its Watersheds," available at https://files.resources.ca.gov/voluntary-agreements/. 18 As of 29 October 2021, state regulators announced that the Voluntary Agreement negotiations process has ceased, with no agreement reached. San Francisco Chronicle, "California Drought: Key Talks Over Water Use Break Down, SF May Face Tighter Regulation," available at https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/California-drought-Key-talks-over-water-use-16576132.php July 2023 Page 14 of 23 guidance, the Tier One Wholesale share for a 16% to 20% supply reduction (62.5%) has been applied for reductions greater than 20% and an equal percent reduction has been applied across all Wholesale Customers. BAWSCA member agencies have not formally agreed to adopt this shortage allocation methodology and are in discussions about jointly developing an alternative allocation method that would consider additional equity factors if SFPUC is unable to deliver its contractual supply volume and cutbacks to the RWS supply exceed 20%. • RWS demands are subject to change. The RWS supply availability is dependent upon the system demands. The supply scenarios are based on the total projected Wholesale Customer purchases provided by BAWSCA to SFPUC in January 2021. Many BAWSCA agencies have refined their projected demands during the UWMP process after these estimates were provided to SFPUC. Furthermore, the RWS demand projections are subject to change in the future based upon future housing needs, increased conservation, and development of additional local supplies. • Frequency and duration of cutbacks are also uncertain. While the projected shortfalls presented in the UWMP appear severe with implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, the actual frequency and duration of such shortfalls are uncertain. Based on the Hetch Hetchy and Local Simulation Model (HHLSM) simulations provided by BAWSCA for the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment scenario, rationing is anticipated to be required 20% of years for base year 2025 through 2035, 23% of all years for base year 2040, and 25% of years for base year 2045. In addition to the supply volumes, the above -listed uncertainties would also impact the projected frequency and duration of shortfalls. • Voluntary agreement may be reached. The SFPUC 2020 UWMP discussed that the implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment was under negotiation, through Voluntary Agreement negotiations between SFPUC, in partnership with other key stakeholders, and SWRCB. In November 2022, SFPUC, along with Governor Newsom's senior water policy officials and the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts, reached an agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with an eight -year term. The MOU includes, among other things, protection of water supplies for RWS customers, as well as a commitment by the Tuolumne River parties for new flows in the Tuolumne River to benefit native fish species that are in addition to the current requirements. The MOU also provides that pending litigation concerning the adopted 2018 Bay -Delta Plan Amendment will be the subject of future negotiations. Regardless of the recent progress made through the November 2022 MOU, a Voluntary Agreement has yet to be approved by the SWRCB as an alternative to the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, and shortages and supply cutback values associated with this alternative are unknown. Despite this uncertainty, the relative degree of shortfall associated with the Voluntary Agreement is assumed to be less than under the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, as further explained in a recently approved SFPUC WSA (SFPUC, 2022b): However, given that the objectives of the Voluntary Agreement are to provide fishery improvements while protecting water supply through flow and non flow measures, the RWS supply shortfalls under the Voluntary Agreement would be less than those under the July 2023 Page 15 of 23 Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, and therefore would require water use reductions of a lesser degree. The degree of water use reduction would also more closely align with the SFPUC's RWS [Level of Service] LOS goal of limiting water use reduction to no more than 20% on a system -wide basis in drought years. There are currently over a dozen active lawsuits challenging the SWRCB's adoption of the Bay - Delta Plan Amendment. This litigation is in the early stages and there have been no dispositive court rulings as of this date. This is a dynamic situation and the projected drought cutback allocations may need to be revised before the next (i.e., 2025) UWMP process depending on court decisions and/or an adopted implementation policy. Per the above, numerous uncertainties remain surrounding the implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment. The water supply projections presented in SFPUC's 2020 UWMP likely represent a worst -case scenario in which the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is implemented as written and do not account for implementation of SFPUC's AWSP or a Voluntary Agreement. Additional information regarding drought allocations can be found in Section 8 of the SFPUC 2020 UWMP, and additional information regarding water service reliability and drought risks can be found in Chapter 7 of the City's 2020 UWMP. 6.1.1.3 Efforts to Increase RWS Supply Reliabili On June 2, 2021, the SFPUC released a memorandum which outlines numerous options the SFPUC is pursuing to improve the supply reliability projected in its 2020 UWMP and meet its Level of Service (LOS) Goals. This memorandum is included as Appendix C. Furthermore, the SFPUC's Water Supply Improvement Program (WSIP) and its Water Management Action Plan (Water MAP) articulate the SFPUC's goals and objectives to improve the delivery reliability of the RWS, including water supply reliability. The WSIP program goal is to improve the SFPUC's ability to reliably meet its Retail and Wholesale Customers water needs in non -drought and drought periods. In 2008, the SFPUC adopted LOS Goals and Objectives in conjunction with the adoption of the WSIP. The SFPUC's LOS Goals and Objectives include: (a) meeting average annual water demand of 265 MGD from the SFPUC watersheds for Retail and Wholesale Customers during non -drought years for system demands through 2028; (b) meeting dry -year delivery needs through 2028 while limiting rationing to a maximum 20% system -wide reduction in water service during extended droughts; (c) diversifying water supply options during non -drought and drought periods; and (d) improving use of new water sources and drought management, including groundwater, recycled water, conservation, and transfers (SFPUC, 2018). The anticipated completion date of the overall WSIP is May 2023. As of 31 December 2021, WSIP local projects are 100% complete and regional projects are 98.9% complete (SFPUC, 2022a). The SFPUC also developed a Water MAP in 2016 to provide the information necessary to begin developing a water supply program for the 2019 to 2040 planning horizon. The SFPUC intends that the Water MAP will guide its efforts to continue to meet its commitments and responsibilities to its customers, including the BAWSCA member agencies (BAWSCA, 2017). The Water MAP was developed with consideration of the 2018 SFPUC's supply decisions (now postponed to 2028; as discussed above), as well as recent changes to instream flow requirements July 2023 Page 16 of 23 and customer demand projections. The Water MAP has identified water supply needs on the RWS by 2040 and prioritized those needs in the following order: 1. Meeting existing obligations to existing permanent customers (3.5 MGD). 2. New supply in order to make the City of San Jose a permanent customer of the SFPUC (Up to 9.5 MGD). 3. New supply in order to make the City of Santa Clara a permanent customer of the SFPUC (Up to 5.0 MGD). 4. New supply to meet the City of East Palo Alto's projected needs above its ISG (Up to 1.5 MGD). Through implementation of its Long -Term Water Supply Reliability Strategy (LTWRS), BAWCSA is also actively evaluating opportunities to increase the supply reliability of the RWS (BAWSCA, 2015). The strategy includes short- and long-term implementation plans including water supply management projects that could be implemented to meet identified needs. Potential projects include recycled water projects, desalination projects, water transfer projects, and local capture and reuse projects. 6.1.1.4 RWS Water Shortage Allocations The Agreement includes a Water Shortage Allocation Plan (WSAP) that allocates water from the RWS to Retail and Wholesale Customers during system -wide shortages of 20% or less. As described in detail in the City's 2020 UWMP, the WSAP has two components: 1. The Tier One Plan, which allocates water between San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers collectively; and 2. The Tier Two Plan, which allocates the collective wholesale customer share among the Wholesale Customers. We note that the dry year supply reliability projections provided herein under the Scenario 1 (Section 6.2) are obtained from the City's 2020 UWMP based on application of BAWSCA-provided revised methodology to allocate RWS supplies during projected future single dry and multiple dry years in the instance where the supply shortfalls are greater than 20%. However, BAWSCA member agencies are in discussions about jointly developing an allocation method that would consider additional equity factors in the event that SFPUC is not able to deliver its contractual supply volume, and its cutbacks to the RWS supply exceed 20%. The City is working independently and with the other BAWSCA agencies to identify regional measures to improve reliability for regional and local water supplies and meet its customers' water needs. 6.1.2 Groundwater Supply Historically, the City has not utilized groundwater as a drinking source and does not expect to utilize groundwater as a regular potable or non -potable water source in the future. More information regarding the City's historical groundwater usage and underlying groundwater basin is provided in Section 6.2 of the City's 2020 UWMP (City of Burlingame, 2021). July 2023 Page 17 of 23 6.2 Total Potable Supply in Normal, Single Dry, and Multiple Dry Years The projected potable water supply source to the City, as described above, is surface water purchased from the RWS. Given the numerous uncertainties surrounding the implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment discussed above, this WSA analyzes water supply reliability through 2045 under three scenarios: 1. Scenario 1. Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment as presented in the City's 2020 UWMP. This scenario likely represents a worst -case scenario in which the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is implemented as written and does not account for implementation of SFPUC's AWSP. 2. Scenario 2. No implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment based on information provided by SFPUC and BAWSCA included in Appendix F of the City's 2020 UWMP. 3. Scenario 3. Implementation of the Voluntary Agreement based on the assumption that demand will not be curtailed beyond the SFPUC LOS goal to not exceed 20% system -wide rationing as result of implementation of the Voluntary Agreement under negotiation. A discussion of each scenario, along with the projected supplies and demands for the City under normal, single dry, and multiple dry year conditions, is presented below. 6.2.1 Scenario 1: Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan As discussed above, this scenario likely represents a worst -case scenario where the Bay -Delta Plan is implemented as written. BAWSCA provided a revised methodology to allocate RWS supplies during projected future single dry and multiple dry years in the instance where the supply shortfalls are greater than 20% in support of 2020 UWMP development. However, BAWSCA member agencies are in discussions about jointly developing an allocation method that would consider additional equity factors in the event that SFPUC is not able to deliver its contractual supply volume, and its cutbacks to the RWS supply exceed 20%. As shown in Table 7a, during normal hydrologic years, the City is expected to meet all projected demands, which are estimated to be 1,697 MG by 2045. During single dry years, the annual supply within the City's service area under this scenario will be reduced to 929 MG by 2045. Supply shortfalls relative to total demands during single dry years are estimated to range between 33.8% in 2025 and 45.3% in 2045. During multiple dry years, the City's 2020 UWMP estimates that annual supply within the City's service area will be reduced to 981 MG in 2025 during the first year of a drought, and 843 MG in the second, third, fourth, and fifth years of drought. The City's 2020 UWMP further estimates that in 2045, annual supply will be reduced to 929 MG during the first three years of a drought, and 792 MG in fourth and fifth years of drought. Supply shortfalls relative to total demands are estimated to range between 33.8% during the first year of a drought in 2025 to 53.3% during the fifth year of a drought in 2045 (see Table 7b). July 2023 Page 18 of 23 If the "worst -case" supply scenario described under Section 6.1.1.2 in which the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is implemented as written, and not accounting for the implementation of actions identified as part of SFPUC's AWSP, BAWSCA's Long -Term Water Supply Reliability Strategy, shortfalls of up to 53.3% are projected during drought years. To address this issue, the City plans to enact its WSCP, which includes Mandatory Staged Restrictions of Water Use. The WSCP systematically identifies ways in which the City can reduce water demands during dry years. The overall reduction goals in the WSCP are established for six drought stages and address water demand reductions over 50%. For example, if supply shortfalls amount to 53.3% or 905 MG per year ("worst -case" scenario under Scenario 1), then the City would implement Shortage Level 6 of the WSCP for shortages over 50% (see Section 8 and Appendix I of the City's 2020 UWMP) in order to ensure demand is met. The City's WSCP was revised as part of the City's 2020 UWMP update process and includes detailed information about how drought risks are evaluated by the City on an annual basis to determine the potential need for reductions. The City may choose to implement tiered allocation rationing to achieve the required level of water use reductions, as described further in Section 7. 6.2.2 Scenario 2: Without Implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment This scenario represents the supply outlook for the City without implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment. Under this scenario, all BAWSCA member agencies would be allocated 100% of their contractual supply volume during single and multiple dry years up through the third year of a multi -year drought in 2045, at which point the members would be subject to their Tier Two drought cutbacks. As shown in Table 8a, during normal hydrologic years and single dry years, the City is expected to meet all projected demands, which are estimated to be 1,697 MG by 2045. During multiple dry years, the City is expected to have sufficient supply to meet projected demands through the third year of a multi -year drought in 2045 (see Table 8b). During the fourth and fifth years of a multi -year drought in 2045, supplies would be reduced to 1,455 MG, resulting in supply shortfalls of 14.3%. These shortfalls would be addressed through implementation of the City's WSCP. 6.2.3 Scenario 3: Implementation of the Voluntary Agreement The March 1, 2019 Proposed Voluntary Agreement has yet to be accepted by SWRCB as an alternative to the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment and thus the shortages that would occur with its implementation are not known with certainty. However, given that the objectives of the Voluntary Agreement are to provide fishery improvements while protecting water supply through flow and non -flow measures, the RWS supply shortfalls under the Voluntary Agreement would be less than those projected under the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment, and therefore would require water use reductions of a lesser degree than that which would occur under Scenario 1. It is anticipated that under this scenario, the City has sufficient water to meet all projected demands, including those of the Proposed Project, in normal years. It is expected that the degree of water use reduction during dry years would also more closely align with the SFPUC's RWS LOS goal of limiting water use reduction to no more than 20% on a system -wide basis in drought July 2023 Page 19 of 23 years. The City will enact its WSCP to curtail demands and ensure that its supplies remain sufficient to serve all users, including the Proposed Project. 7 COMPARISON OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND Pursuant to CWC §10910c(3), this WSA must include an estimate of the projected water supplies available to the City under normal, single dry, and multiple dry years, and a discussion of whether those supplies will meet the projected demand associated with the Proposed Project, in addition to the water system's existing and planned future uses. This assessment is parallel to the multiple -dry year supply reliability analysis required for UWMPs under CWC §10635. In 2018, CWC §10635 was revised to require UWMPs to extend this analysis to consider "a drought lasting five consecutive water years." Although CWC §10910c(3) has not yet been updated to require this for WSAs, a five-year drought scenario is also evaluated herein. However, as discussed in Section 5.1, based on the information received from the developer in the RFI (Appendix A), the Proposed Project is not expected to result in a net increase in water demands to the City relative to those projected in the City's 2020 UWMP water demand projections and the City's 2022 water demand projections update due to implementation of the City's Program. 7.1 Supply and Demand during Normal and Single Dry Years (All Scenarios) It is projected that available water supplies will be sufficient to meet the demands under normal and single dry year hydrologic conditions through 2045 under all scenarios (see Tables 7a and 8a) given that the Proposed Project is compliant with the requirements included in the City's Program. 7.2 Supply and Demand during Multiple Dry Years 1. Under Scenario 1, shortfalls of up to 53.3% are possible in drought periods representing, as discussed above, the "worst -case" supply scenario is realized in which the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is implemented as written, and not accounting for implementation of SFPUC's AWSP. As discussed in Section 6.1.1.4, the City is working independently and with the other BAWSCA agencies to identify regional mitigation measures to improve reliability for regional and local water supplies and meet its customers' water needs. Thus, multiple dry year shortfalls would be expected to be lower than those shown in Table 7b. 2. Under Scenario 2, in which the Bay -Delta Plan Amendment is not implemented, the City will have sufficient supply to meet the demands in all year types through 2040 and would only anticipate a supply shortfall of 14.3% during the 4t" and 5t" year of a multi -year drought by 2045 as shown in Table 8b. 3. Under Scenario 3, it is anticipated that the degree of water use reduction during dry years would also more closely align with the SFPUC's RWS LOS goal of limiting water use reduction to no more than 20% on a system -wide basis in drought years. However, because negotiations of a Settlement Agreement are not complete, no values are available to explicitly model Scenario 3. July 2023 Page 20 of 23 7.3 Rationing Implications to the Proposed Projects As described in Section 6, in response to anticipated future dry -year shortfalls, the City has developed a WSCP that systematically identifies ways in which the City can reduce water demands during dry years. The overall reduction goals in the WSCP are established for six drought stages ranging from up to 10% to greater than 50% shortfalls. While the levels of water use reduction apply to the entire City service area (i.e., up to 53.3% under Scenario 1 an up to 14.3% under Scenario 2), the City may allocate different levels of rationing to individual customers based on customer type (e.g., dedicated irrigation, single family residential, multifamily residential, commercial, etc.) to achieve the level of citywide rationing required to ensure demand is met. It is anticipated that the WSCP would include a tiered allocation approach that imposes lower levels of rationing on customers who use less water than similar customers in the same customer class and would require higher levels of rationing by customers who use more water. City staff expects that under a future WSCP adopted by the City Council, the allocation method or combination of methods that would be applied during water shortages caused by drought would similarly be subject to the discretion of the Public Works Director. The City anticipates that, as a "worst -case" scenario under Scenario 1, the Proposed Project could be subject up to 53.3% rationing during a severe drought. In accordance with the WSCP, the level of rationing that would be imposed on the Proposed Project and all City customers would be determined at the time of a drought or other water shortage condition and cannot be established with certainty prior to the shortage event. 8 CONCLUSIONS As listed in Water Code §109101(4), the primary purpose of this WSA is to evaluate whether sufficient water supply is available to meet all future water demands within the water supplier's service area, including those associated with the Proposed Project, during normal and dry hydrologic years for a 20-year time horizon. This WSA concludes that, through implementation of the City's Development Offset Program, the Proposed Project will not affect water supply reliability within the City beyond what has been projected, assuming actual water demands are within the projected water demands as calculated in Table 1. Based on currently available information, the City expects to be able to meet all future demands within its service area inclusive of the Proposed Project in normal hydrologic years and dry years. The shortfalls that are currently projected during dry years will be addressed through planned implementation of the City's WSCP.4 In addition, as described herein and in the City's 2020 UWMP, the City, BAWSCA, and SFPUC are pursuing the development of additional water supplies and mitigation measures to improve the RWS and local supply reliability. July 2023 Page 21 of 23 Approval of this WSA by the Burlingame City Council is not equivalent to approval of the development project for which the WSA is prepared. A WSA is an informational document required to be prepared for use in the City's environmental review of a project under the CEQA. Furthermore, this WSA does not verify the adequacy of existing distribution system capacity to serve the Proposed Project. 9 REFERENCES Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), 2022.

(b) The R&D demand factor was calculated by dividing the total water use of the Genentech campus, and R&D land use with similar water usage, in 2016 by the total area of the campus to estimate demand per area. Estimated demands for R&D use are per Reference 3, for exercise room use per Reference 4, and for cafe use per Reference 5. (c) Full buildout of the Proposed Project is anticipated to be second quarter of 2025, and the total water demand for 2025 is assumed to be half of the annual water demand. (d) R&D space is assumed to comprise of both office and lab space that is part of an R&D site. (e) "Other" uses include hallways, staircases, services areas, loading dock, fir pump room usage. Demands were conservatively calculated using an office demand factor for the entire space. (f) Irrigation demands are calculated using the Maximum Allowable Water Allowance, per Reference 6. (g) Water use associated with this space is anticipated to be minimal, limited to cleaning of the facility. For purposes of this WSA, it is assumed that the garage will be cleaned twelve times per year and that 0.02 gal/sq ft will be used per each cleaning event, per Reference 7. (h) Existing site demands averaged over the years 2017-2022 per Reference 8. Existing demands are subtracted from total projected water demands to show the incremental increase in demands associated with the Project (i.e., the net increase in water demand). (i) Total may not sum due to rounding. July 2023 Table 1 Summary of Estimated Incremental Annual Project Water Demand 1499 Old Bayshore Highway, Burlingame, California References: 1. ICF, 2023.

(b) The demands associated with the 777 Airport Boulevard Project are per Reference 2, the 1669/1699 Old Bayshore Highway & 810/821 Malcolm Road Project per Reference 3, the 620 Airport Boulevard Project per Reference 4, and the 1200-1340 Old Bayshore Highway Project (1240-1300 project) per Reference 5. Projected demands associated with developments other than the Proposed Project and the 1240-1300 project are considered in the projected City CII growth. (c) Total estimated CII demands are the sum of existing CII demand, Proposed Project demand, and other planned developments' demands. Totals may not sum due to rounding. (d) The City's projected CII demand is per Reference 1. (e) Remaining City CII growth is the difference between the Projected City CII Demand and the Total Estimated CII Demand. The resulting difference may differ due to rounding. A negative value indicates demands above the City's projected CII growth, whereas a positive value indicates the remaining CII demand within the City's growth projections. Projected demands above the City's growth projections will be addressed and mitigated by the City's Development Offset Program.

Ritchie, Assistant General Manager, Water DATE: June 2, 2021 RE: Regional Water System Supply Reliability and UWMP 2020 This memo is in response to various comments from Wholesale Customers we have received regarding the reliability of the Regional Water System supply and San Francisco's 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). As you are all aware, the UWMP makes clear the potential effect of the amendments to the Bay -Delta Water Quality Control Plan adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board on December 12, 2018 should it be implemented. Regional Water System -wide water supply shortages of 40-50%Q could occur until alternative water supplies are developed to replace those shortfalls. Those shortages could increase dramatically if the State Water Board's proposed Water Quality Certification of the Don Pedro Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensing were implemented. We are pursuing several courses of action to remedy this situation as detailed below. Pursuine a Tuolumne River Voluntary Agreement The State Water Board included in its action of December 12, 2018 a provision allowing for the development of Voluntary Agreements as an alternative to the London N. MayBreor adopted Plan. Together with the Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts, we Sophie Maxwell have been actively pursuing a Tuolumne River Voluntary Agreement (TRVA) President since January 2017. We believe the TRVA is a superior approach to producing benefits for fish with a much more modest effect on our water supply. Anson Moran pP Y• Vice President Unfortunately, it has been a challenge to work with the State on this, but we Tim Paulson continue to persist, and of course we are still interested in early implementation Commissioner of the TRVA. Ed Harrington Commissioner Evaluating our Drought Planning Scenario in light of climate change Newsha Ajaml Ever since the drought of 1987-92, we have been using a Drought Planning commissioner Scenario with a duration of 8.5 years as a stress test of our Regional Water Michael Carlin System supplies. Some stakeholders have criticized this methodology as being Acting too conservative. This fall we anticipate our Commission convening a workshop General Manager �„ C11uy�4 OUR MISSION: To provide our customers with high -quality, efficient and reliable water, power and sewer' services in a manner that values environmental and community interests and sustains the resources entrusted 7` to our care. � � ,: regarding our use of the 8.5-year Drought Planning Scenario, particularly in Iight of climate change resilience assessment work that we have funded through the Water Research Foundation. We look forward to a valuable discussion with our various stakeholders and the Commission. Pursuing Alternative Water Supplies The SFPUC continues to aggressively pursue Alternative Water Supplies to address whatever shortfall may ultimately occur pending the outcome of negotiation and/or litigation. The most extreme degree of Regional Water System supply shortfall is modeled to be 93 million gallons per day under implementation of the Bay -Delta Plan amendments. We are actively pursuing more than a dozen projects, including recycled water for irrigation, purified water for potable use, increased reservoir storage and conveyance, brackish water desalination, and partnerships with other agencies, particularly the Turlock and Modesto Irrigation Districts. Our goal is to have a suite of alternative water supply projects ready for CEQA review by July 1, 2023. In litigation with the State over the Ba_y-Delta_ Plan_ Amendments On January 10, 2019, we joined in litigation against the State over the adoption of the Bay -Delta Water Quality Control Plan Amendments on substantive and procedural grounds. The lawsuit was necessary because there is a statute of limitations on CEQA cases of 30 days, and we needed to preserve our legal options in the event that we are unsuccessful in reaching a voluntary agreement for the Tuolumne River. Even then, potential settlement of this litigation is a possibility in the future. In litigation with the State over the proposed Don Pedro FE_RC Water Ouality Certification The State Water Board staff raised the stakes on these matters by issuing a Water Quality Certification for the Don Pedro FERC relicensing on January 15, 2021 that goes well beyond the Bay -Delta Plan amendments. The potential impact of the conditions included in the Certification appear to virtually double the water supply impact on our Regional Water System of the Bay -Delta Plan amendments. We requested that the State Water Board reconsider the Certification, including conducting hearings on it, but the State Water Board took no action. As a result, we were left with no choice but to once again file suit against the State. Again, the Certification includes a clause that it could be replaced by a Voluntary Agreement, but that is far from a certainty. I hope this makes it clear that we are actively pursuing all options to resolve this difficult situation. We remain committed to creating benefits for the Tuolumne River while meeting our Water Supply Level of Service Goals and Objectives for our retail and wholesale customers. cc..

The purpose of the Demand Study is to provide valuable insights on long- term water demand patterns and conservation savings potential for the BAWSCA agencies to support regional efforts, such as implementation of BAWSCA's Long -Term Reliable Water Supply Strategy. In addition, the intent of the Demand Study is to provide necessary information to support individual agency efforts, such as compliance with the new state water efficiency requirements and completion of Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs). The results will support agencies in preparing to comply with new statewide water use efficiency requirements as required by Assembly Bill (AB) 1668 and Senate Bill (SB) 606 (herein collectively referred to as "legislation"1). Background BAWSCA actively works with its member agencies to develop comprehensive water demand projections for the region. Most recently, in 2014, BAWSCA completed the BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections report (2014 Project) to support the development of its Long -Term Reliable Water Supply Strategy. The 2014 Project developed long-term demand projections through 2040 as well as short-term demand projections accounting for rebound in water demand associated with economic recovery from the 2008-2013 recession. After the 2014 Project completion, the local Bay Area economy continued to recover. However, beginning in 2014, the state experienced a major drought that significantly decreased water demand for all BAWSCA member agencies. The impact of the drought reduced overall water use among the BAWSCA agencies by 27% below 2013 demand levels in 2015, the worst year of the drought. BAWSCA initiated the Demand Study in January 2019 to update water demand and conservation projections for each BAWSCA agency given the significant change in conditions following the 2014 Project. The results of the Demand Study will be used to support the 2020 Urban Water Management Plans through the 25-year planning horizon, considering the impacts of the recent drought on short-term and long-term water demand and BAWSCA's Long -Term Reliable Water Supply Strategy implementation. The Demand Study was completed as a collaborative effort between the BAWSCA and its BAWSCA member agencies. Valley Water also provided input on assumptions associated with the conservation analysis, given its role as the wholesale water agency to eight of the BAWSCA member agencies in Santa Clara County. In addition, an external Stakeholder Workgroup consisting of representatives from 5 organizations and entities provided feedback on the conservation measure selection and analysis components of the Demand Study. Over the course of the Demand Study, input was solicited from the aforementioned groups through multiple forums, including workshops, stakeholder engagement, one-on-one communication, and web -based meetings. Demand and Conservation Projections Development Process The Demand Side Management Least Cost Planning Decision Support System (DSS Model), in combination with an Econometric Model, was used to determine short-term and long-term demand projections for each BAWSCA agency. The Econometric Model projected short-term demands (through 2025) based upon historical water use patterns and the projected future rebound in water demand associated with forecasts for drought recovery. The 'An AB 1668/SB 606 primer document explaining the legislation is available on the Department of Water Resources website: https://water.ca.gov/-/media/DWR-Website/Web-Pages/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/Make-Water- Conservation-A-California-Way-of-Life/ BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 9 DSS Model projected long-term demand (through 2045) based upon expected service area growth for both population and employment. The data collection for this Demand Study was conducted through the use of a Data Collection and Verification File (Data Workbook), a quantitative data intensive multi -spreadsheet MS Excel file. This workbook was an update to the Data Collection and Verification File developed during the 2014 Project. The data collected included monthly water demand and water conservation from 1995 through 2018, unemployment, water rates, historical conservation and more items as described in Section 2. Service Area Population and Employment Growth Projections The total BAWSCA service area population and employment projections are presented in Table ES-1. These projections are based upon each member agency's population and employment projections, using Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Plan Bay Area 2040 data, including projections released in 2017, or other adopted data sources. Table ES-1. Total BAWSCA Service Area Population and Employment Projections Demand Projections Demand forecasts were developed for each agency to account for conservation from passive (i.e., from codes/standards) and active conservation programs. Based upon this analysis, water demands are projected to increase 25% from 2020 to 2045 after accounting for the effects of the existing plumbing code, future active conservation savings, and climate change. These results are shown in Table ES-2. By comparison, the population and employment projections noted in Table ES-1 above show growth rates of 31% and 24% respectively between 2020 and 2045. Table ES-2. Total BAWSCA Demand Projections 210.8 240.3 251.1 266.7 280.0 293.6 205.6 228.9 234.3 244.3 253.1 262.4 204.3 225.1 229.2 238.8 247.0 256.3 Note: Total water demand accounts for the total projected demand in a service area water system regardless of source, which could be from San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), groundwater, surface water, recycled water, desalination, State Water Project (SWP), or Valley Water. Potential New Conservation Measures Through this analysis, 24 conservation measures with high water savings potential and/or member agency interest were identified. BAWSCA further evaluated these measures for potential future implementation and incorporated feedback from a Stakeholder Workgroup feedback, including ideas for measure implementation and co -benefits described in Section 4. Implementation of these conservation measures, along with passive conservation, is anticipated to yield an additional 37.3 MGD of water savings by 2045 beyond what has already been achieved.

Therefore, the above information is a potable -only per capita value. Note that residential water use includes some irrigation as not all agencies have dedicated irrigation meters. Recommendations and Next Steps The majority of the BAWSCA member agencies meet the definition of an urban water supplier' and therefore are required to prepare 2020 UWMPs, which must be submitted to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by July 1, 2021. Member agencies may elect to utilize the demand and conservation savings projections developed through this Demand Study to support their UWMP development. Member agencies may also update the individual DSS Models for the upcoming UWMP submissions, if necessary, to incorporate new information for their respective service areas. It is anticipated that agencies will be formally adopting updated demand projections as part of the 2020 UWMP process. California state laws, AB 1668 and SB 606, passed in May 2018, require each urban retail water supplier to calculate and report an urban water use objective no later than November 1, 2023, and by November 1 every year thereafter, and to compare its actual urban water use to the objective. The urban water use objectives will be calculated using individual efficiency standards set by the state for indoor residential water use, outdoor residential water use, dedicated irrigation, and water loss. In addition, the urban water suppliers may be required to implement specific performance measures for commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) water use. When more information on the state standards becomes available, BAWSCA and the member agencies may ' The requirements for UWMPs and definition of urban water supplier are found in two sections of the California Water Code, §10610-10656 and §10608. "Urban water supplier" means a supplier, either publicly or privately owned, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre- feet of water annually. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 13 need to review demand projections and conservation targets to prepare for compliance with the urban water use objectives. In addition, BAWSCA will work with the member agencies to further evaluate for regional implementation the identified conservation programs that have high water savings potential and agency interest. BAWSCA recognizes that actual implementation of water conservation is needed to achieve the identified water savings goals in support of member agencies meeting their future water use objectives. BAWSCA and its member agencies' conservation programs must be managed in concert with one another and in a very adaptive fashion. Small and large program changes will need to be made over time and, where applicable, to align with pending state regulations currently being developed in connection with AB 1668 and SB 606. The Demand Study was initiated in January 2019 and was completed through June 2020. Given the project timeline, recent changes to water consumption patterns, population, employment, and vacancies due to the COVID-19 pandemic have not been incorporated into the analysis or demand projections. BAWSCA will continue to monitor the effects of COVID-19 response actions on water use within the region and may consider future updates to this study to reflect these changes. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 14 1 INTRODUCTION This Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections Project (Demand Study) Final Report summarizes the water demand and conservation savings projections for each individual BAWSCA member agency and for the BAWSCA region as a whole. 1.1 Goals and Objectives Recently, a substantial shift in the challenges and drivers for water management has occurred — in part because of the recent drought, water supply conditions, and the need to comply with pending water conservation regulations. This Demand Study will allow BAWSCA to implement additional water use conservation measures in line with current conditions regarding water sustainability and reliability. The Demand Study considers best management practices consistent with current regulations and best practices in the industry. It also considers the capabilities and practices of the BAWSCA agencies and how they may need to be further developed in relation to the new legislation. The overall goal of the Demand Study was to develop transparent, defensible, and uniform demand and conservation projections for each BAWSCA member agency, using a common methodology that could be implemented to support regional planning efforts as well as individual agency work. Pursuant to this goal, specific objectives were developed as detailed in the following figure. Figure 1-1. BAWSCA Demand Study Objectives ® Quantify Average Annual Water Demand for each BAWSCA member agency through 2045 Quantify Conservation Savings Potential for each BAWSCA member agency through 2045 Identify Additional Conservation Options for future BAWSCA implementation Provide Individual Agency Models to support ongoing demand & conservation efforts 1.2 Approach and Methodology To accomplish the above goal and objectives, each BAWSCA member agency's water demands and conservation savings were forecasted through 2045 using a combination of two different models — an Econometric Model and the DSS Model developed by Maddaus Water Management (MWM). The purpose of using two tools is to leverage the strengths of each tool to obtain the best forecast through 2045. The Econometric Modeling was initially done outside of the DSS Model then incorporated as a feature in each member agency's individual DSS Model. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 15 Econometric Modeling is a statistical approach used to determine the impact of factors such as economic conditions, weather, rates, and conservation on water demands. The Econometric Model is used to project, based upon historical patterns, the future rebound in water demand associated with short term effects (i.e. economic recovery, drought conditions, etc.) while also taking into account other factors such as water rate increases and weather. The Econometric Model was used to forecast each agency's baseline demand through 2023. The DSS Model prepares long-range, detailed water demand and conservation savings projections to enable a more accurate assessment of the impact of water efficiency programs on demand. The DSS Model can use either a statistical approach to forecast demands (e.g., an Econometric Model), or it can use forecasted increases in population and employment to evaluate future demands. Furthermore, the DSS Model evaluates conservation measures using benefit -cost analysis with the present value of the cost of water saved and benefit -to -cost ratio as economic indicators. The analysis is performed from various perspectives including the utility and community. The DSS Model also was used to forecast demands for the BAWSCA member agencies in prior planning efforts in 2004, 2009, and 2014. 1.3 Project Partners The Demand Study was completed as a collaborative effort between BAWSCA staff, BAWSCA member agencies, and the Project Team, which was led by Maddaus Water Management in association with Brown and Caldwell and Western Policy Research. Over the course of the Demand Study, input was solicited from the aforementioned groups through multiple forums, including workshops, online surveys using SurveyMonkey, one-on-one communication, and web -based meetings. Maddaus Water Management, BAWSCA staff, Valley Water, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and individual agencies collaborated to compile and review information, which led to the development of design parameters. Valley Water also provided input on assumptions associated with the conservation analysis, given its role as the wholesale water agency to eight of the BAWSCA member agencies located in Santa Clara County. Each BAWSCA member agency held a critical role in the development of its individual demand and conservation projections. BAWSCA member agencies' roles in the Demand Study included the submission of technical information for use in individual agency DSS Models and the review and sign -off of interim work products. More details on the involvement of the member agencies in the completion of each Demand Study task are included in this report. Stakeholder Workgroup In addition to coordination with the BAWSCA agencies, BAWSCA formed a Stakeholder Workgroup to seek input from external stakeholders. Based on suggestions provided by the BAWSCA agencies, a total of twelve organizations were invited to participate in the Stakeholder Workgroup. Five organizations accepted the invitation to participate, including the Pacific Institute, San Mateo County Office of Sustainability, San Mateo Countywide Water Coordination Committee, Sustainable Silicon Valley, and the Tuolumne River Trust. The Stakeholder Workgroup held two meetings in January and May 2020 to provide input on the conservation projections portion of the Demand Study. In particular, the Stakeholder Workgroup shared insights and perspectives on topics such as: • Types of conservation measures BAWSCA should be considering for future implementation in the region; • Co -benefits or secondary impacts some conservation measures have that should be considered in BAWSCA's implementation decisions; • Opportunities for partnership and collaboration on water conservation initiatives; • Ways to support social equity in the water conservation measure implementation; and • New or innovative technologies to explore for conservation savings potential. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 16 The stakeholder comments on multiple co -benefits of the conservation measures were considered during measure selection as described in Section 4. 1.4 Relationship to Other Planning Efforts In September 2018, the BAWSCA Board unanimously approved the Strategic Plan Phase 13 recommendations, including the recommendation to update the water demand and conservation projections for the BAWSCA member agencies using a common methodology. In addition to providing a critical input for the strategy, the updated demand estimates may be used by individual BAWSCA member agencies in the development of their 2020 Urban Water Management Plans. Prior efforts have developed regional demand and conservation projections for the BAWSCA region using the DSS Model, including: • San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Wholesale Customer Water Demand Projections (URS Corp. and MWM, 2004); • San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Wholesale Customer Water Conservation Potential (URS Corp., MWM, Jordan Jones & Goulding, 2004); • Projected Water Usage for BAWSCA Agencies (Brown and Caldwell [BC], MWM, 2006); • BAWSCA Water Conservation Implementation Plan (MWM, BC, 2009); and • BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections (MWM, Western Policy Research, 2014). These prior efforts proved to be a robust means to support environmental documents like the Water System Improvement Program — Program Environmental Impact Report [SFPUC, 2006]); member agency UWMPs; conservation planning (e.g., the BAWSCA Regional Water Conservation Program and development of the BAWSCA Water Conservation Database [WCDB]); and development and implementation of BAWSCA's Long - Term Reliable Water Supply Strategy. 3 Maddaus Water Management et al.

BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 17 2 DATA COLLECTION AND VERIFICATION PROCESS This section documents the data collection and verification process for the Demand Study, which was critical to the modeling process to ensure that the best available information was used to develop each member agency's water demand and conservation savings projections. Described herein are the types of data that were collected for the Demand Study and the steps taken to obtain and verify the data. 2.1 Preliminary Survey In April 2019, the member agencies participated in a survey as part of their Data Workbook completion tasks. The survey provided initial service -area background information, perspectives on future water demand trends, agency feedback on the desired project outcomes, and initial interest in different types of conservation measures. The survey responses also were used to identify data items to include in the Data Workbook. The following information was collected in the Data Workbook survey: • Key contact information for each agency • Each agency's desired objectives or results for the Demand Study • Description of water use trends within the agency's service area in recent years • Source of most recent water demand projections and methodology description • Perspective on future growth and water demand trends • Billing system components and capabilities, including any recent changes or upgrades • Availability of water and sewer rate history by customer class • Potable and non -potable water reuse planning • Source and accuracy of service area water audit data in recent years • Current and projected usage of mixed -use meters • Plans for water source adjustment when water conservation is active • Additional comments or questions on the project or planning process See Appendix A for a complete list of the Data Workbook survey questions. 2.2 Types of Data Collected The impetus for the types of data collected was the specific data needs for the Econometric Modeling and the DSS Model. The data collected can be classified into a few major categories as discussed below and listed in Figure 2-1. Service Area Data Data including water production by source as well as water and sewer rates were collected to show the impact of prices on historical water demands. The service area data were used for the econometric historical analysis, the demand forecast in the DSS Model, and the conservation analysis. Service Area Demographics Service area demographic data were collected regarding historical and projected population using previous DSS Models, 2015 UMWPs, and the ABAG 2040 Bay Area Plan Projections. These demographics were used for the econometric analysis of historical demand and for future demand forecasting. Economy Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' on historical employment and unemployment were collected for the individual service areas (at the city level) to attempt to capture the change in work force during the period from 1995 to 2018 to show historical and future growth in the service area. The economic data were used for the econometric analysis of historical water demand. 4 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Local Area Unemployment Statistics web page: https://data.bls.gov/PDQWeb/la BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 18 Weather Data from the local National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather stations closest to each individual agency were collected.' Data types included temperature maximum, temperature minimum, temperature average, and precipitation for the years 1995 to 2018. The weather data were used for the econometric analysis of historical water demand. Conservation Select conservation data from the WCDB back to 2004 were incorporated into the Econometric Models. The conservation data were used for the historical demand analysis, for a review of future conservation program levels of saturation, and as a benchmark of reasonable levels of implementation for future conservation programs. Fiscal Year 2016-2017 and Fiscal Year 2017-2018 conservation programs participation data for CII Survey, Residential High Efficiency Fixture Giveaway, Residential Indoor Water Surveys, Landscape Water Budget/Monitoring, and Lawn Be Gone! Turf Removal were utilized to calculate levels of saturation. Other Each agency was asked to provide any new information, such as new development ordinances or comments received from DWR regarding the agency's 2015 UWMP (if one was filed). These data were used for background information when analyzing each individual water agency's service area. The individual data elements that were collected are listed categorically in the following figure. Figure 2-1.

Previously, parts of the 2014 workbook were refined for the 2017 BAWSCA "Making Conservation a Way of Life" Strategic Plan. This most recent effort initiated in 2019 was the next iteration in conservation program planning at the regional level to support the 2020 UWMPs and to guide BAWSCA and its member agencies for the next several years. The Data Workbook was used to collect, organize, and verify the necessary input data for the econometric analysis and DSS model. The data required for the demand and conservation projections continues to be organized into individual Data Workbooks (one per BAWSCA member agency). This task was streamlined by populating the Data Workbook using a variety of existing data sources (as shown in Figure 2-1) prior to distributing the files to the individual agencies. The member agencies were then asked to verify that the information in the Data Workbook was accurate. A key source for existing data was the BAWSCA WCDB, which was specifically designed as a recommendation of the 2009 BAWSCA Water Conservation Implementation Plan (WCIP) to capture much of the required data. Other significant data sources included BAWSCA Annual Surveys, 2015 UWMPs, and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Projections' (population and employment forecasts). The Data Workbook was completed and verified by the member agencies through the following steps: 1. Distribution of Data Workbook Files to Individual Agencies: The files were distributed to the individual agencies in April 2019 via the BAWSCA WCDB. 2. Instructional Webinar: A webinar was held in April 2019 to disseminate information related to the data collection process to the member agencies. During the webinar, the Project Team reviewed the Data Workbook contents with the member agencies and provided instructions for completing the files. 3. Data Workbook Completion by Agencies: Each member agency reviewed and completed its individual Data Workbook, which required the following: • Verification of existing data that was remaining from the previous efforts as well as what was pre - populated in the file by the Project Team before distribution to the agencies • Data entry of missing information into the Data Workbook as needed 4. Data Workbook Submission by Agencies: Agencies submitted the files via the WCDB between April and mid -May 2019 after completing Step 3. 5. Data Workbook Review and Refinement: The Project Team reviewed the submitted individual Data Workbooks in the order submitted. If further data and refinement were required, the Project Team contacted the individual member agencies to obtain the necessary information. 6. Data Workbook Validation through Technical Memorandum 1 (TM-1): Each member agency reviewed and signed a confirmation letter attached to TM-1 that all the information in the data workbook was accurate and approved for use in the project analysis. 2.4 Agency Verification The last step in the data collection process was the final agency verification of the data. Once all data had been collected and compiled, each agency received a copy of its Final Data Workbook, and the representative for that agency was asked to complete the BAWSCA Agency Population Projection Selection/Data Verification Signature Form. As part of this step, each member agency also was asked to identify an appropriate source for population and employment projections to use in the demand and conservation modeling. ' ABAG.

BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 20 3 DEMAND PROJECTIONS This section documents the demand projections developed for the Demand Study. This section describes: 1) the demand projection analysis methodology; 2) the demand analysis results including each BAWSCA member agency demand projections through 2045; and 3) the projections verification process to be completed and signed by each member agency. 3.1 Demand Methodology Overview The demand projection update for each BAWSCA member agency used a combination of two different analytic models — the Econometric Model and the Demand Side Management Least Cost Planning Decision Support System (DSS Model). The purpose of using two tools was to leverage the strengths of each tool to obtain a suite of demand recovery scenarios through the year 2045. The Econometric Model estimated the impact of various conditions on service area water demand. The model used historical patterns to project the future rebound in demand associated with post -drought recovery, while considering other factors such as economy, rate increases, conservation activity, and weather. Since the Econometric Model was calibrated using historical data, its reliability depended on the historical relationship between water demand and its influencing factors remaining constant from the calibration period to the forecasting period. Further into the future, changes in demographics, living patterns, housing stock, and industrial structure can alter the historical relationship with water demand. The data collected for the Demand Study was used to forecast each agency's water demands and conservation savings through 2045, using the DSS Model. The model prepares long-range, detailed water demand and conservation savings projections to enable a more accurate assessment of the impact of water efficiency programs on demand. It also evaluates potential conservation measures using benefit -cost analysis with the present value of the cost of water saved ($/Million Gallons) and benefit -to -cost ratio as economic indicators. The analysis is performed from various perspectives including the utility and community (utility plus customer). This rigorous modeling approach is especially important if the projections are to be included in a document that will undergo regulatory or environmental review. Previously, the DSS Model was used to forecast demands in the 2004 SFPUC Wholesale Demand and Conservation Analysis (URS, MWM 2004), the 2009 BAWSCA Water Conservation Implementation Plan, and the 2014 BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections Project (2014 Project). The DSS Model has been peer reviewed by the California Urban Water Conservation Council (now known as the California Water Efficiency Partnership) and endorsed by the organization since 2006. The DSS Model can accommodate historic service agency data and projected information; this information reflects how future service area and water use characteristics may differ from the past in each BAWSCA member service area. To accommodate all these considerations, several scenarios were generated to model the post - drought demand recovery, including a scenario generated by each agency's respective Econometric Model. The DSS Model also has a conservation component that quantifies savings from plumbing codes and active conservation programs. In this Demand Study, only the DSS Model's estimates of future savings from plumbing codes were incorporated into the demand projections. The intent of this was to facilitate each agency's evaluation of its future water demand before implementation of active conservation programs between 2019 and 2045. Quantification of savings from active conservation programs is discussed in Section 5. The demand analysis for each agency had three distinct parts (Figure 3-1): 1. Historical Analysis —This was an analysis of updated historical data between 1995 and 2018 (or a shorter window if an agency could not provide complete data back to 1995). The purpose of this analysis was to identify the impacts of factors such as water rates, economic conditions, weather, water conservation, and drought reductions on water demands. Data analyzed included historical system production, BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 21 population, water rates, weather (rainfall and temperature), unemployment rate, and drought restrictions. See Figure 2-1 for a list of the data used for this analysis. 2. Short -Term Forecast (Post -Drought Demand Recovery) — Forecast of demands from 2019 through 2023 was weather normalized, assumed normal economic conditions, and incorporated climate change predictions as well as population growth. Normal weather is defined as the average temperature and rainfall between 1995 and 2006. At the time the analysis was conducted in November 2019, the U.S. economy was operating at an unemployment rate that was below the historical norm. The model assumes there will be a return to the historical norm while developing a model -generated drought recovery estimate. The unemployment rate differs considerably across member agencies at any given point in time. However, movements in this metric for an agency over time parallels movement in the national unemployment rate quite well. To account for the unique conditions that exist within each member agency, it is assumed that each member agency will reach an unemployment rate that reflects the average during the 1993-2000 period, a time period that best captures normal economic conditions. Projections of population and employment growth that fed into these short-term forecasts came from the same sources as those used for the long-term forecasts. These data sources were discussed previously in Section 2. 3. Long -Term Future — Long-term water demand (2024-2045) was forecasted using the DSS Model, which estimated increases in each agency's demand by customer category based upon forecasted changes in population and employment. In addition, the long-term forecast incorporated climate change predictions as further detailed in Section 3.6. Figure 3-1. Demand Forecasting 3.2 Econometric Analysis Methodology As noted above, the Demand Study used Econometric Models to project post -drought demand recovery in the Partial Rebound — Normal Economy, Weather Normalized scenario (as described in Section 3.7). This tool was incorporated into the demand analysis to estimate the relationship between per capita water demand and factors that cause it to vary over time. Some factors are cyclical in nature and can cause per capita demand to increase or decrease over a period of time. Such factors include weather, economic conditions, and temporary drought restrictions. Other factors put one-way downward pressure on per capita demand over time. The BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 22 intensity of pressure may vary from year to year, but the effects are not cyclical. Examples of such factors include water rate increases, plumbing codes, appliance efficiency standards, and active conservation programs. Relying on knowledge of past historical relationships and assuming that they continue in the near -term, this analysis provided insights into questions associated with demand such as: • What was the effect of drought restrictions on demand during the time period for which they were in effect (2014-2017)? Since the removal of these restrictions, demand started to increase — how much more will it rise in the future? • How have economic conditions impacted demand in the past? Under normal economic conditions, what would fully recovered demand be? • How has weather impacted demand in the past? Under normal weather conditions, what would fully recovered demand be? Or, under future climate conditions when the average temperature is, for example, two degrees hotter than normal, what would future demand be? An Econometric Model of water demand was developed for each BAWSCA member agency using up to 24 years of monthly production data (where available, data from 1995 through 2018 were used). Each BAWSCA member agency's Econometric Model utilized agency -specific data to depict economic conditions, retail water rates, population, and impact of drought restrictions implemented during the 2014-2017 period. The models also included a trend variable, if necessary, to capture the long-term decline in per capita demand as a result of historical active and passive conservation. Weather data were assigned to each agency from the closest of the NOAA stations located throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. These data were submitted and verified by each BAWSCA member agency through the data collection process described in Section 2. After development, the Econometric Model for each BAWSCA member agency was used to generate water demand forecasts to 2023. The Econometric Model assumed that temporary behavioral changes encouraged during the drought returned close to pre -drought norms. The post -drought recovery behaviors were further documented in the Alliance for Water Efficiency 2020 study titled Use and Effectiveness of Municipal Irrigation Restrictions.' BAWSCA helped to fund the project and was a contributing project participant which included an in-depth analysis of drought behavior changes. However, the water savings emanating from historical water rate increases and active conservation programs (e.g., non -behavior -based programs such as rebates) achieved through 2018 were assumed to be permanent and therefore did not rebound. The model assumed that the predicted demand recovery would occur gradually over an additional five years (2019-2023), based on BAWSCA's historical experience of the 1987-1992 drought. The estimated gallons per capita per day (GPCD) drought recovery was incorporated into the 27 member agency DSS Models and is further described in Appendix B. This information was reviewed and calibrated with the DSS Model to capture and reflect previous knowledge of the service area from the 2004, 2008, and 2014 BAWSCA forecasting projects. This process generated one complete model for each agency with data between 2020 and 2045 as shown in the following figure. ' Alliance for Water Efficiency. (2016).

These results have been provided in Appendix C (In Table C-1 and in Figure C-1 the BAWSCA region -wide demand projections are shown with passive savings. Active conservation has not been incorporated into any of the four scenarios. These values are intended to be used for general comparison of ranges in potential future water demands if no active conservation was implemented. Table C-1). A more detailed description of the Econometric Modeling framework can be found in Appendix B. 3.3 DSS Model Methodology For the long-term projections (2019-2045), the DSS Model was used to generate demand forecasts for each BAWSCA member agency. The DSS Model also included a conservation component that quantified savings from passive conservation (e.g., plumbing codes) and active conservation programs. The DSS Model's conservation component covers the entire forecast period of 2019-2045. Quantification of savings from active conservation programs is covered in Section 5.Only the DSS Model's estimates of savings from plumbing codes were provided to enable each agency to evaluate what its future demand likely would be absent any active conservation programs from 2020 to 2045.

The next step was to calibrate the model by comparing water use data with available demographic data to characterize water usage for each customer category in terms of number of users per account and per capita water use. During the model calibration process, data were further analyzed to approximate the indoor/outdoor split by customer category. The indoor/outdoor water usage was further divided into typical end uses for each customer category. Published data on average per capita indoor water use and average per capita end use were combined with the number of water users to calibrate the volume of water allocated to specific end uses in each customer category. In other words, the DSS Model reflects social norms from end -use studies on water use behavior (e.g., flushes per person per day). Following the model calibration, the future population and employment projections were incorporated. Each BAWSCA member agency selected its own projection forecasts. These growth projections were used to develop a projected demand for 2019-2045. As shown in Figure 4-2, the analyzed conservation measures were input into the DSS Model. These conservation measures were a combination of existing and new conservation measures selected by polling the BAWSCA member agencies via SurveyMonkey (an internet-based electronic survey platform). A list of the measures selected for the cost-effectiveness analysis based on this survey can be found in Appendix D. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 25 3.4 Demand Projection —Agency Input and Review As part of this Demand Study's collaborative approach, one instructional webinar conference call and one workshop were held to facilitate BAWSCA member agency understanding of, and involvement in, the development of the forecasting methodology and analysis. In addition, each member agency was provided with its individual results in written form and was asked to provide written approval of the results. • Instructional Webinar — A webinar with the member agencies was held on April 18, 2019 to give an overview of the project, review the data collection workbook, and provide an overview of the DSS Modeling methodology. The webinar was recorded and offered to those who could not attend to maximize participation by the agencies. • Demand Workshop — On November 18, 2019 a workshop was held for BAWSCA agencies to review the demand modeling approach and results and to answer agency questions. During the workshop, the methodology was reviewed using a real example with preliminary results from one of the BAWSCA agencies. • Agency Communication and Technical Memorandum 2 (TM-2) — In December 2019, agencies were provided a copy of their individual results via TM-2. Agencies were able to email questions or set up virtual calls to review the demand analysis results and make any necessary modifications. • Written Approval of Demand Values — In January 2020, individual agencies were asked to submit written approval that their demand values appeared reasonable. The active conservation analysis in the DSS Model did not proceed until all agencies approved their demand values in TM-2. 3.5 Future Population and Employment Population and employment projections through 2045 were confirmed by each BAWSCA member agency through the data collection process described in Section 2. Population projections were obtained from one of the following sources: • Association of Bay Area Governments 2040 Plan Bay Area • 2015 Urban Water Management Plans • Other publicly adopted sources as provided by each BAWSCA member agency 3.6 Weather and Climate Change Data The Public Policy Institute of California has predicted that five climate pressures will impact the future of California's water management: warming temperatures, shrinking snowpack, shorter and more intense wet seasons, more variable precipitation, and rising seas.$ As of 2019, some of these pressures are already apparent. The climate impact on water supply is predicted to significantly exceed the impact on water demand. Precipitation in the Bay Area will continue to have high variability year to year, leading to very wet years sometimes and very dry years at other times. The largest winter storms in the Bay Area will likely become more powerful and potentially more damaging. Due to a predicted increase in temperature in the future, it is assumed that California and the Bay Area will experience longer and deeper droughts, which could impact the water supply. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) develops several future climate change scenarios referred to as Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP). RCP 4.5 represents a mitigation scenario where global CO2 emissions peak by the year 2040. RCP 8.5 represents the business -as -usual scenario where CO2 emissions continue to rise throughout the 21'Y century. The following figure shows the spatial changes in annual mean of maximum daily temperatures across nine Bay Area counties under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. s Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC).

Source: Ackerly, David, Andrew Jones, Mark Stacey, Bruce Riordan. (University of California, Berkeley), 2018. According to California's Fourth Climate Change Assessment San Francisco Bay Area Summary Report,9 the Bay Area's historical temperature increased 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit from 1950 to 2005. It is predicted that annual mean maximum temperatures will increase by 1 to 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the early 21" century from the years 2006 to 2039, then will increase by an additional 3.3 degrees Fahrenheit in the mid-21't century from 2040 to 2069. This increment for the mid-21'Y century rises to 4.4 degrees Fahrenheit if the Bay Area remains under the high emissions scenario of "business -as -usual." The above IPCC report temperature change is broken over two time periods (early-21st century and mid-21st century). For the BAWSCA Demand Study, the time period of focus was 2019-2045. Therefore, it was necessary to combine the two time periods to get an overall temperature change for the length of the BAWSCA Demand Study. 9 Ackerly, David, Andrew Jones, Mark Stacey, Bruce Riordan (University of California, Berkeley).

For the 33-year time period, this equates to an average annual temperature increase of 0.045 degrees Fahrenheit. • Mid -Century (2040-2069) was estimated to have a temperature increase of 3.3 degrees Fahrenheit. For the 29-year time period, this equates to an average annual temperature increase of 0.114 degrees Fahrenheit. Calculating the increase within each time period for the BAWSCA Demand Study required three steps: • Step 1: Calculate a value for the 20 years from 2019 to 2039, which equates to an estimated temperature change of 0.95 degrees Fahrenheit. • Step 2: Calculate a value for the five years from 2040 to 2045, which equates to an estimated temperature change of 0.68 degrees Fahrenheit. • Step 3: Finally, the two values from Step 1 and Step 2 were added together to get a total temperature increase of 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded) for 2019-2045. In summary, for the BAWSCA Demand Study, the previously mentioned predicted annual mean temperature increase in the early 215Y century of 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit10 was incorporated into the demand forecast for all scenarios for the time period of 2019 to 2045. 3.7 Demand Projections Scenarios The Econometric Model and DSS Model were used in conjunction to generate water demand projection scenarios for each BAWSCA member agency for four scenarios as noted in the table below. Table 3-1. Water Demand Recovery Scenarios 10 Ibid. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 28 Each individual member agency's historical and projected water demands are shown in Appendix A (Figure A-1) of their respective TM-2s. Those TM-2 Appendix A figures, along with Table 3-1 and Figure 3-5 in this section, contain the following curves: • Pre -Recession and Pre -Drought Demand Level Recovery — Demand projections based on years 2000- 2007 water use profile, starting with 2018 demand levels and recovering from the drought in five years. • Pre -Drought Demand Level Recovery— Demand projections based on years 2004-2013 water use profile, starting with 2018 demand levels and recovering from the drought in five years. • Partial Rebound — Projections developed by the Econometric Model assuming: 1) normal weather, 2) normal economy, 3) price escalation projections that vary by agency, 4) historical active conservation efforts, 5) passive conservation plumbing codes, and 6) recovery from the drought in five years. • Current Water Demand Profile —Assuming: 1) normal economy, and 2) weather normalized. This is water demand calculated from historical 2018 water production data submitted by each BAWSCA member agency. The 2018 data were weather normalized and assumed a normal economy. This scenario does not include any additional post -drought demand recovery. Savings from plumbing codes (also known as "passive conservation") is based on federal and state legislated efficiency standards pertaining to plumbing fixtures and appliances. The impact of codes quantified here include the Energy Policy Act of 1992, CALGreen Building Code, AB 715, and SB 407 (governs the types of fixtures available on the market for toilets, showers, washers, etc.). The plumbing code has been added into all four scenarios. Figure 3-5 presents a summary of the BAWSCA service area total demand projections through 2045 including passive conservation. These projections encompass all demands regardless of source, including non - potable water demands. The Partial Rebound — Normal Economy, Weather Normalized scenario was used for the conservation analysis in the next phase of the BAWSCA project because it incorporated the longest time period of data (1995-2018), included weather normalization, and was adjusted for the change in water rates. The inclusion of these variables over a long time period using regression analysis was deemed by BAWSCA to be the most representative for a long-term forecast. In addition, analysis of BAWSCA data from prior droughts demonstrated that there was a significant rebound in per capita water use within seven years following the end of a drought.11 Therefore, an assumption of a partial rebound to pre -drought demands is consistent with past experience. Taking a long-term viewpoint was found to be especially important since recent data included both recession and severe drought, as mentioned previously. Furthermore, beginning in 2023, each urban water supplier in California, including 24 of the 27 BAWSCA member agencies, will be required to calculate and report to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on an annual water use objective. The urban water use objective will be based upon standards of efficient water use for indoor residential, outdoor residential, and dedicated irrigation. The water efficiency standards have not been established yet by the SWRCB; however, it is anticipated that these standards, and resulting urban water use objectives, will become a key driver for water conservation planning for the BAWSCA region. Each agency's water conservation program will be designed to reduce its projected water use by, at a minimum, the amount needed to stay within its urban water use objective. To ensure that sufficient water conservation programming is planned and budgeted, it is prudent to plan and budget under the assumption that drought rebound will occur and to develop a robust water conservation program to enable agencies to meet their urban water use objectives in spite of that rebound. 11 Analysis of residential per capita water use data from the BAWSCA Annual Survey Fiscal Year 2018-19 (BAWSCA, 2020) for the 4 years prior to the 1987-1992 drought (1984-1988) and years 4-7 following the drought (1995-1998) showed a 23% increase in residential per capita water from the lowest drought year to the 4-year average from years 4-7 of the recovery period.

BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 30 4 WATER CONSERVATION SAVINGS PROJECTIONS This section documents the conservation savings projections for each BAWSCA member agency and for the BAWSCA region. In addition, the conservation analysis methodology and results are detailed. 4.1 Conservation Analysis Goals and Objectives The Demand Study included two goals related to water conservation: 1) to define how much conservation can reasonably contribute to more supply reliability for all BAWSCA member agencies and 2) to incorporate projected conservation savings into the demand projections for each agency. Pursuant to this goal, the specific objectives of the conservation analysis for the Demand Study were: • Assist BAWSCA member agencies in evaluating the potential water savings and cost-effectiveness associated with implementing a variety of existing and potential new water conservation measures; • Determine the projected water savings from 2020 through 2045 associated with implementing a selected suite of new conservation measures; and • Determine which entity (i.e., BAWSCA, the member agencies, or Valley Water) should implement each conservation measure or program and when the program should be implemented in order to achieve the specified water savings goals. To develop demand forecasts for each agency that account for conservation from both passive (plumbing code and standards) and active conservation programs, the individual agency DSS Models were designed to achieve the following two objectives: 1. Account for passive conservation savings projected through 2045 2. Analyze potential savings from a variety of water use efficiency measures to facilitate the development of individual agency conservation savings estimates through 2045 Each BAWSCA member agency's individual conservation water savings goal, where applicable, was provided by the agency during the data collection process described in Section 2 and was used in the conservation analysis. 4.2 Conservation Analysis Methodology Overview The conservation savings projections were developed through a 10-step process. Review of Historical BAWSCA Member Agency Conservation Programs and Savings The first step in the conservation analysis was to review historical BAWSCA member agency water conservation and savings. The purpose of this review was to look at historically successful programs, past penetration rates (activity levels) for individual measures, and the types of programs that were implemented (and for which customers — single family, multifamily, commercial, etc.) by each of the agencies since the 2014 Project. This information was reviewed on a regional and individual agency level. The participation rates were incorporated into the design of the activity levels for each of the conservation measures in the DSS Model analysis. Figure 4-1 illustrates the 10-step conservation analysis process. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 31 Figure 4-1. BAWSCA 10-Step Conservation Analysis Process Publish Results in Final Report Selection of Conservation Measures for Analysis Following the review of the historical conservation efforts, a list of 40 potential conservation measures was selected by BAWSCA staff. Member agencies were then asked to complete an online survey through SurveyMonkey to assist in choosing 20-25 of the 40 potential conservation measures that should be considered for further evaluation in the DSS Model. This list of measures was screened by BAWSCA and the member agencies to identify those measures with the highest level of interest, importance, and potential for implementation within the BAWSCA service area independent of which entity (BAWSCA, Valley Water, or the individual agencies) would be best suited to implement each measure. The list was also reviewed by the Stakeholder Workgroup, who provided suggestions on measure ideas and design. Through this process, a total of 24 measures were selected for analysis in the individual agency DSS models. The 24 measures that were incorporated into the DSS Models are presented in Figure 4-2, with the screening process results and further details on each measure in Appendix D.

The design parameters were developed through a collaborative effort in which information was compiled and reviewed by participants from MWM, BAWSCA staff, Valley Water, SFPUC, and the individual agencies. Figure 4-3. Conservation Measures Design Parameters BAWSCA Conservation Measures Design Parameters QUANTITY U TIME Number of fixtures or units per account OR • Program implementation length • Measure life (how long measure affects water savings) COST • Utility costs and customer costs by customer category ■ Annual utility administration and marketing costs per measure CATEGORY . Voluntary, incentive, or required (by ordinance) Applicable and specific customer classes • Applicable and specific end uses SAVINGS • Hot water savings • Water use reductions for targeted end uses SCOPE Market penetration annually and by end of measure (and if only new accounts 'I were affected) II BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 34 The following assumptions were used in designing the model parameters for each conservation measure: • Historical BAWSCA data were used in cases when the measure was already in existence. • Valley Water data were used to design BAWSCA-led measures in cases where Valley Water was running a comparable measure at the time of the analysis. • Design of individual "agency measures" and their parameter values came from BAWSCA member agencies. • Other industry data and knowledge was incorporated when local data was not available. • New measures were designed with an implementation schedule reflecting dates sometime in the future when BAWSCA or its member agencies might begin such programs. Measure Analysis and Conservation Program Selection The 24 conservation measures were incorporated into each agency's DSS Model for benefit -cost analysis (described below) and selection of a conservation program to meet the agency's goals. Included in each agency's DSS Model was a list of measures selected by the individual member agency. The following four key items were taken into consideration during measure selection: • Existing agency water use efficiency measures • Programs run by BAWSCA (with consideration for Valley Water programs) • Measures focused on the topic areas of new state regulations (residential indoor per capita use, water loss, landscape, commercial • New and innovative measures Each BAWSCA member agency's DSS Model presented estimated average per capita per day savings with the plumbing codes only. Plumbing code includes current state and federal standards (including CALGreen, Senate Bill 407 and Assembly Bill 715) for items such as toilets, showerheads, faucets, pre -rinse spray valves. SB 407 and AB 715 require the replacement of non -water conserving plumbing fixtures with water -conserving fixtures as described in Appendix E. Each BAWSCA member agency was allowed to review the conservation program options, tailor the programs to meet its needs, and select the program that fit its individual water savings goals and budgets. The reasons that each member agency selected a particular suite of measures varied but included: • Measure cost effectiveness • Applicability to service area • Amount of water savings generated • Cost • Ease of implementation and staffing requirements • Which agency was running the measure (BAWSCA or Valley Water) • Local preferences Perspectives on Benefits and Costs The determination of the economic feasibility of water conservation programs involves comparing the costs of the programs to the benefits provided. This analysis was performed using the DSS Model developed by MWM, which calculates the cost effectiveness of conservation measure savings at the end -use level. For example, the model determines the amount of water a toilet rebate program saves in daily toilet usage for each single family account. Additional detail on the DSS Model and assumptions can be found in Appendix E. Appendix F presents generic starting value measure assumptions used as a means for each BAWSCA member agency to tailor its DSS Model to evaluate the potential water use efficiency measures. The agencies had the option to select or unselect any measure for implementation. Assumptions were made for the following variables incorporated into the DSS Model: BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 35 • Targeted Water User Group End Use — Water user group (e.g., single family residential) and end use (e.g., indoor or outdoor water use) • Utility Unit Cost — Cost of rebates, incentives, and contractors hired by BAWSCA and BAWSCA member agencies to implement measures • Retail Customer Unit Cost — Cost for implementing measures that is paid by retail customers (i.e., remainder of a measure's cost that is not covered by a rebate or incentive) • Utility Administration and Marketing Cost —The cost to the utility for staff time, general expenses, and overhead needed to implement and administer the measure, including consultant contract administration, marketing, and participant tracking. The unit costs vary greatly according to the type of customer and implementation method. For example, a measure might cost a different amount for a single family account than a multifamily account. Rebate program costs are different than costs to develop and enforce an ordinance requirement or a direct installation program. Typically, water utilities incur increased costs with achieving higher market saturation, such as more surveys per year. The model calculates the annual costs based on the number of participants each year. The general formula for calculating annual utility costs is: Annual Utility Cost = Annual market penetration rate x total accounts in category x unit cost per account x (1+administration and marketing markup percentage) Annual Customer Cost = Annual number of participants x unit customer cost Annual Community Cost = Annual utility cost + annual customer cost Considering Co -Benefits of Water Conservation Measures The DSS Model considers the costs and benefits of water conservation programs from a water utility perspective to determine economic feasibility. However, many of the water conservation programs evaluated through this study include additional benefits distinctly different from what a water utility would track. The value of those distinctly different impacts is not fully captured in this quantitative analysis. Examples of these co -benefits include the following items shown in Table 4-1. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 36 Table 4-1. Co -Benefits from Conservation Measure Implementation* Reduce energy and GHG for pumping and treating water Increase water infiltration (if groundwater basin) Increase customer engagement Reduce runoff and improve local water quality Reduce water cost for customer Reduce energy cost on -site Improve local habitats Reduce carbon footprint Reduce urban heat island effect Support education Build community cohesion and resilience Support local economy (local jobs and/or property values) * Adapted in collaboration with Pacific Institute from Diringer et al.

Figure 4-4 presents key co -benefits that can be achieved from various conservation measure implementation. This information may support the development of partnerships and cost sharing opportunities for measure implementation to optimize the investment of time and resources.

The webinar was recorded and offered to those who could not attend to maximize participation by the agencies. This was followed by a survey conducted in January 2020 to solicit feedback on which conservation measures BAWSCA member agencies wanted to consider as part of the conservation analysis. Results from the January 2020 survey can be found in Appendix D. Conservation Workshop (virtual) and Conservation Survey #2 —A virtual workshop was held on April 1, 2020 to facilitate BAWSCA member agency understanding of and involvement in the conservation program analysis in the DSS Model. The originally planned in -person workshop was changed to a virtual workshop in response to the COVID 19 pandemic. This was followed by a survey conducted in April 2020 to solicit feedback on which conservation measures BAWSCA member agencies wanted to consider as part of the conservation analysis. Agency Communication and Technical Memorandum 3 (TM-3) — In April 2020, individual agencies were provided a copy of their individual conservation saving results via a Technical Memorandum (TM-3). Following the release of the TM-3 individual agencies were able send questions via email or set up virtual calls to review the conservation savings analysis results and make any necessary modifications. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 38 • Written Approval of Demand Values — In May 2020, individual agencies were requested to submit a written approval that their demand values including passive and active conservation appeared reasonable. The report includes all the values that were signed off by the individual agencies. 4.4 Comparison of Individual Conservation Measures MWM conducted an economic evaluation of each selected water conservation measure using the DSS Model. Appendix F presents detailed results with regard to how much water each measure will save through 2045; how much each will cost; and the cost of saved water per unit volume if the measure were to be implemented on a stand-alone basis (i.e., without interaction or overlap from other measures that might address the same end use or uses). Dollar savings from reduced water demand was quantified annually and based on avoided costs. Actual measure design parameter inputs can be found in Appendix F. While each measure was analyzed independently, it is important to note that very few measures operate independently. Savings from measures which address the same end use(s) are not directly additive. The model uses impact factors to avoid double counting in estimating the water savings from programs of measures (further details in Appendix E, Section EA). One of the objectives of the Demand Study was to identify conservation measures for further consideration for BAWSCA region -wide implementation. Figure 4-5 presents the number of BAWSCA member agencies that selected each measure as part of their planned conservation programs.

These demand projections were developed using the Partial Rebound demand scenario developed utilizing an Econometric Modeling approach, both of which are further described in Section 3. The Econometric Modeling approach assumed: 1) normal weather, 2) normal economy, 3) price escalation projections that vary by agency, 4) historical active conservation efforts, and 5) passive conservation plumbing codes. Demand projections are based on data provided from 1995 through 2018. This analysis was completed before the COVID-19 pandemic Shelter in Place orders began in March 2020. Therefore, none of the new changes in water use profiles, population, employment, or vacancies resulting from the pandemic have been incorporated because the data was not yet available and was outside the scope of this project. It is recognized that, depending on the impact of recent events, the water demands may need to be reviewed and/or modified. Table 5-1 presents the following: • Demand projections with no plumbing code savings — previously verified by each member agency through the Technical Memorandum 2 signature form. • Demand projections with plumbing code savings — previously verified by each member agency through the TM-2 signature form. Demand projections with the plumbing code savings and active conservation program savings — incorporates the member agency -selected active conservation program from the agency's DSS Model. The SurveyMonkey with the selected conservation program was returned to BAWSCA on April 30, 2020. Table 5-1.

The basis for this demand scenario was discussed previously in Section 3. AB 1668 (Friedman) and SB 606 (Hertzberg) will begin to be enforced in 2023. Therefore, projections for that particular year are included since that is when the new conservation requirements begin to take effect. Figure 5-1 presents the combined BAWSCA region -wide water demand projections with and without passive conservation. Total water demand is defined as total water consumption plus non -revenue water. Water consumption is defined as water delivered to individual customers for use. As noted earlier in Section 3, the conservation analysis was based upon the Partial Rebound — Normal Economy, Weather Normalized scenario. Figure 5-2 illustrates the projected 75% population increase with a 2% demand decrease between 1986 and 2045. The demand shown in this chart includes both plumbing code and active conservation measure savings. Figure 5-3 represents the gross and residential per capita water use for BAWSCA. The gross per capita value is the total production including non -revenue water. Both the gross and residential per capita water use exclude recycled water.

In particular, the Demand Study results will support decisions as to which new conservation measures to incorporate in BAWSCA's Regional Water Conservation Program. This section also offers details on the California legislation regarding new water conservation requirements, the implementation schedule for the legislation, and how that relates to the recommended next steps for BAWSCA and its member agencies. 6.1 Recommendations Recommendations to assist with future conservation program development and implementation include the following: Engage in the state processes to establish the requirements associated with implementation of the AB 1668 and SB 606 legislation. Prioritize measures for implementation with the highest priority given to those that contribute the most to meeting water saving targets, fulfill regulatory requirements, or provide opportunities for partnership. To launch implementation of a conservation program, BAWSCA may consider answering a series of key questions to determine the measures, budget and schedule. These questions include: o What level of support will be required from conservation staff to run the selected measures? o What other support (e.g., outsourced support or other sources of funding) is needed or wanted to run these programs? • Form partnerships for cost -sharing and outreach. To identify partnership opportunities, consider co - benefits of measures prioritized for implementation and connect with organizations whose objectives are in alignment. Engage potential partners early in the design of measures. Apply for grants where appropriate. • Consider opportunities for customer engagement to increase participation in conservation measures. Early partnership with community organizations may be beneficial in implementing measures in a manner that is accessible to customers and in effectively communicating the benefits of participation to attract customer interest. • Continue to track and manage measure participation, cost, and other data to gauge successes and areas for improvement. • Support BAWSCA agencies in taking steps to differentiate between residential and non-residential dedicated irrigation use in their billing systems in order to: 1) support compliance with the state requirements; and 2) improve future per capita water use forecasting. • Continue to track the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment and total water production. Revisit water demands as appropriate to incorporate recent events into planning efforts. At this point, no formal commitment has been made at the BAWSCA region -wide or individual agency level to implement the new water conservation measures that were evaluated as part of the Demand Study. BAWSCA will work with the member agencies to further evaluate these programs and to implement new regional programs as appropriate. BAWSCA recognizes that actual implementation of water conservation to achieve the identified water savings goals must be managed in an adaptive fashion, making both small and large program changes as needed over time. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 50 6.2 Adapting to the California Legislation and the Pending Regulations On April 7, 2017, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) released the "Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life, Implementing Executive Order B-37-16" Final Framework Report (California Department of Water Resources et al, 2017). The State Framework Report, which builds upon Governor Brown's call for new long-term water use efficiency requirements in Executive Order (EOs) B-37-16, provided the state's proposed approach for implementing new long-term water conservation requirements. A key element of the report was proposed new water use targets for urban water suppliers that go beyond existing Senate Bill X7-7 (SB X7-7; Steinberg)12 requirements and are based on strengthened standards for indoor residential per capita use, outdoor irrigation, commercial, industrial and institutional water use (CII), and water loss. On May 17, 2018, the California Legislature adopted AB 1668 (Friedman) and SB 606 (Hertzberg) to implement new long-term water use efficiency requirements, including new urban water use objectives for urban water suppliers. This legislation incorporated some key components of the State Framework Report, although some specific elements of the approach for implementing the new water use objectives were changed during the legislative process. Adopted Legislation and Regulatory Schedule The California legislation accomplishes the following: • Requires the SWRCB, in coordination with DWR, to adopt long-term standards for the efficient use of water. • Establishes specified standards for per capita daily indoor residential use; in addition to performance measures for CII water use, and with stakeholder input, the SWRCB will adopt long-term efficiency standards for outdoor water use and water loss through leaks. • Provides SWRCB with the option to adopt long-term efficiency standards for outdoor water use and water loss through leaks, in addition to performance measures for CII water use and with stakeholder input. • Requires each urban retail water supplier to calculate and report an urban water use objective (which is an estimate of aggregate efficient water use for the previous year based on the adopted water use efficiency standards) and compare that objective to actual water use; to be reported initially by November 1, 2023, then by November 15Y every year thereafter. • Grants SWRCB the authority to enforce compliance with the urban water use objectives, with enforcement actions increasing over the first three years of implementation. • Establishes a schedule for state agencies to develop the methodology for implementing the requirements, as presented in the following table. As of June 2020, current regulatory implementation schedule and details of each element of the legislation is provide in Table 6-1. 12 SB X7-7, also known as the Water Conservation Act of 2009, was a significant amendment introduced after the drought of 2007-2009 and because of the California governor's call for a statewide 20% reduction in urban water use by the year 2020. See the California Department of Water Resources website for more information: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-EfficiencV/SB-X7-7 BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 51 Table 6-1. Implementation Schedule for AB 1668 and SB 606 Key Requirements 1. DWR to recommend to CA Legislature standards for indoor residential water use. Defaults are: • 55 GPCD until 2025 • 52.5 GPCD from 2025 until January 2030 • 50 GPCD beginning in 2030 2. DWR to provide each urban retail water supplier with data regarding irrigable lands at level of detail sufficient to verify accuracy at the parcel level 1. DWR to recommend standards for outdoor residential use for adoption by SWRCB: • Incorporate Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) principles • Applies to irrigable lands • Include provisions for swimming pools, spas, etc. 2. DWR to recommend performance measures for CII water use including: • CII classification system • Minimum size thresholds for converting mixed CII meters to dedicated irrigation meters • Recommendations for CII best management practices 3. DWR to recommend variance provisions for: • Evaporative coolers • Horses and livestock • Seasonal populations • Soil compaction/dust control • Water to sustain wildlife • Water for fire protection 4. DWR to recommend standards for outdoor irrigation of landscape areas with dedicated irrigation meters: • Incorporate MWELO principles 1. SWRCB to adopt long-term standards for efficient water use: • Outdoor residential • Outdoor irrigation of landscape with dedicated irrigation meters at CII customer sites • Water loss (consistent with Senate Bill 555) 2. SWRCB to adopt performance measures for CII water use 1. Urban water supplier shall calculate its urban water use objective and its actual water use for previous calendar or fiscal year: • Efficient indoor residential water use, plus • Efficient outdoor residential water use, plus • Efficient outdoor water use through dedicated irrigation meters at CII customer sites, plus • Efficient water loss, plus • Variances as appropriate 6.3 Next Steps Most of the BAWSCA member agencies are required to prepare 2020 UWMPs, which are due to DWR by July 2021. Member agencies may elect to utilize the demand and conservation savings projections developed through this Demand Study in completion of their respective UWMPs. Member agencies may also update these demands for the 2020 UWMPs, if necessary, to incorporate new information for their respective service areas.

ECONOMETRIC MODEL DESCRIPTION AND FRAMEWORK This appendix describes the Econometric Modeling process, framework, and results. 13.1 Introduction In the past, BAWSCA has relied on projections of population and jobs to predict future baseline water demand. Residential demand was projected by multiplying per household use by population growth; Commercial, Institutional, and Industrial (CII) demand was prepared by multiplying per employee use by projected job growth. Then, these estimates of baseline demand were converted into estimates of net demand by subtracting likely savings from various plumbing codes and active conservation programs. While the simplicity of this methodology makes it appealing and easy to understand, econometric analysis studying historical data (assuming historical relationships remain valid) can provide helpful information for answering questions about changing demand patterns (i.e., How much will demand rebound as drought impacts recede and as economic and weather conditions return to normal?). To address such questions, econometric demand models have been developed for each agency to estimate the relationship between water demand and its key drivers, such as price, economic conditions, and weather (Equation 1). Based on this analysis, the following best -fit equation was developed: Ln(monthly GPCD) = a + flTrend + BLn(unemployment rate) + 6Ln(marginal price) + ,9Temperature Deviation + V)Rainfall Deviation + rcmonthly indicators + Odrought restriction indicators + E .......................... Eq. 1 Where, Monthly production is measured in gallons per capita per day (GPCD) a is a scaling constant. Trend is a variable that takes on a value of 0 in the first year, 1 in the second year, and so on Unemployment rate is captured as an annual percent (for example, 7%) Marginal price for single family customers is measured in dollars per hundred cubic feet deflated by the consumer price index Temperature deviation is measured in degrees Fahrenheit (average maximum daily temperature in a given month minus average for the same month between 1995 and 2006) Rainfall deviation is measured in total inches (total rainfall in a given month minus average total rainfall for same month between 1995 and 2006) Monthly indicators are binary 0-1 variables, taking on a value of 1 for a given month in question, 0 otherwise Drought restriction indicator variables for affected months during the 2014-2017 period E denotes random statistical error Sources for these data are indicated below: Each variable on the right-hand side of the equation (independent variable) is preceded by a coefficient (e.g., fl, etc. ) that measures the strength of the impact of an independent variable on monthly demand. (The variable on the left-hand side of the equation is also known as the dependent variable.) A positive coefficient implies that increases in an independent variable will cause an increase in the dependent variable; a negative coefficient implies the opposite. The purpose of model development is both to select the elements of the equation and to estimate each independent variable's coefficient. Continuous variables, such as the marginal price and the unemployment rate, are logarithmically transformed so that their respective coefficients can be given a BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 57 proportional interpretation. For example, the coefficient on logarithmically transformed marginal price becomes the price elasticity. The trend variable captures changes in GPCD over time not accounted for by price, unemployment rate, or weather. Our basic model specification (Eq. 1) includes several features. First, agency -specific production data are modeled at a monthly, not annual, level. Estimating monthly level models allows for the impact of weather to vary by time of year. Prior research strongly indicates that abnormal temperature and abnormal rainfall do not have the same effect in January as, say, in May.13 Working with monthly production data allows one to incorporate time -varying weather effects. Second, temperature and rainfall enter the model as deviations from their respective monthly averages, capturing directly how demand reacts to weather as it deviates from the average. Normal seasonality in monthly demand (i.e., July demand being much higher than January demand) is captured by the monthly indicator variables. Temperature and rainfall data were obtained from the closest NOAA stations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Third, economic conditions are captured by the unemployment rate obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This metric is available at a granular level and is useful for capturing economic cycles impacting water demand. Finally, the models also include a measure of the marginal price of water in real terms (i.e., price deflated by the consumer price index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics). Marginal price of water faced by the average single family customer in an agency has been used to depict price variation over time. By and large, CII and Single Family Residential (SFR) price trends appear similar. Figure B-1 shows price escalation faced by single family customers in the BAWSCA service area overall, calculated as a weighted average of each BAWSCA member agency's price data. The price and unemployment rate data are available at a water supplier level (the latter by town or city) so that these metrics can be tailored to each member agency's service area. In other words, each BAWSCA member agency has its own marginal price and unemployment rate metric, including a weather metric from the closest NOAA station. Figure B-1.

(2011). GPCD Weather Normalization Methodology, final report submitted to the California Urban Water Conservation Council. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 58 B.2 Model Results As shown in Equation 1, a model was developed for each agency using its unique data. To illustrate the method in general, a monthly GPCD model also was developed for all BAWSCA agencies combined; results for this "rolled -up" region -wide model are shown in Table B-1. This type of model is known as a time -series, cross - sectional model. This region -wide model incorporates agency -level fixed effects, a correction for autocorrelation in the error term, and population weighting to account for different agency sizes. Agency -specific fixed effects capture the impact of agency characteristics that do not vary much over time, such as average household income and lot size, leading to a much more robust model specification than one without these fixed effects. In other words, the model captures the impact on GPCD of income, lot size, and other unobservable time -invariant differences across agencies implicitly through these fixed effects. In addition to the fixed effects, each agency is allowed to have its own time trend, if necessary, to capture the impact of service area dynamics that influence water use but are not fully captured by price, unemployment rate, or weather. The normal seasonality in water use also is allowed to vary across agencies. The impact of weather deviations from normal weather is allowed to vary by season and across agencies by interacting these deviation variables with an agency's transformed seasonal peaking factor 14. A greater summer -winter differential indicates a greater prevalence of weather -sensitive end uses, making the impact of non -normal weather correspondingly greater. The feasibility of using peaking factors to scale the impact of non -normal weather across agencies was demonstrated by the study cited earlier that was completed for the California Urban Water Conservation Council (Bamezai, 2011). Those concepts have been applied here as well. An important goal of the Econometric Modeling is to forecast what water demand would have been in 2018 had the drought of 2014-2017 not occurred. The gap between actual 2018 demand and model -predicted demand then provides an estimate of potential rise in demand over the next several years (assumed to be 5 years: 2019- 2023). This potential rise is down -corrected to account for the effect of plumbing codes and expected rate increases between 2018 and 2023 that will continue to place downward pressure on demand. The potential rise also is corrected to reflect normal weather and normal economic conditions, which then yields the expected demand for 2023 under these conditions. It is important to test the stability of Eq. 1 by estimating it using only pre -drought data (1995-2013) excluding the drought restriction indicators; then doing so again using all the available data (1995-2018) including the drought restriction indicators. The estimated coefficients on the metrics used to capture variation in price, economic conditions, and weather should not change significantly between these two model specifications, implying that the pre -drought historical relationships are holding during the drought period. The models used here meet this stability condition. The effect of active conservation programs undertaken between 2019 and 2023 is yet to be layered into these forecasts because such layering will cause the demand forecast for the years 2019-2023 to decrease further. In addition, it will affect the post-2023 forecasts. The estimated pre -drought region -wide model (Table B-1) has three columns: 1) the estimated coefficient, 2) the likely band of error surrounding this coefficient (referred to as standard error), and 3) the t-statistic. An independent variable's t-statistic is the ratio of the coefficient over its standard error. A t-statistic higher than 1.96 or lower than -1.96 indicates a statistically significant relationship at 5% level of significance between the dependent and independent variable; a t-statistic between -1.96 and 1.96 indicates that the data are not able to conclusively demonstrate a relationship. The latter finding may reflect the lack of any relationship, data errors, or other problems (e.g., two or more independent variables being highly correlated with one another). The model's R-Square value (R2), which is indicative of the explanatory power of a statistical model, is shown at the 14 Peaking factor is calculated by dividing maximum monthly summer demand by minimum winter monthly demand in any given year, then averaging these ratios across all years included during the baseline period. Transformed peaking factor is calculated as 1-(1/Peaking Factor). BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 59 bottom of Table B-1. It can vary between zero and a maximum of 1, with higher numbers indicating greater explanatory power. The coefficients in Table B-1 have the following interpretations: • A price elasticity of -0.2 indicates that a 10% real increase in the marginal price of water can be expected to reduce demand by 2%. BAWSCA's region -wide estimate of price elasticity compares well with the published literature on this topic. • A 10% increase in the annual unemployment rate is likely to depress water demand by 0.05%, a statistically significant effect, but one weaker than price. • All weather coefficients are significant and behave in expected ways. For an agency with a peaking factor of 2, or a transformed peaking factor of 0.5 (a typical agency peaking factor), an extra inch of rainfall per month during the spring reduces monthly demand by about 6.6%, while the same extra inch during the winter only depresses monthly demand by 0.5%. • On the temperature dimension, if daily maximum temperature is 1 degree higher on average in a given month, monthly water demand is likely to increase by 1.0% during the spring, 0.5% during the summer, and 1.1% during late fall and winter. Lower than average temperatures would have the opposite effect. The monthly dummy variables also exhibit the expected pattern with July showing the largest coefficient, indicating that July demand is greatest during the year. The coefficient reaches a minimum during January. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 60 Table B-1.

BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 61 Figure B-2 shows how the model prediction compares with BAWSCA's region -wide GPCD trend during the pre - drought period since that is the period from which the model is estimated. The resulting RZ value of 0.93 shows that there is a high correlation between actual and predicted values. The model quite accurately captures the downturn in demand experienced during the Great Recession of 2008-2010 and subsequent recovery until 2013. Beyond 2013, the model is used to forecast what demand would have been without the drought, taking into account a strengthening economy tempered by ongoing rate increases and conservation. The dotted green line in Figure B-2 shows the Normal Economy, Weather Normalized model forecast. The gap between actual 2018 demand and the dotted green line provides an initial estimate of what fully rebounded demand should be. It is not logical to assume that actual demand will jump to the dotted green line within a shorter period of time (i.e., a year). Instead, it is assumed that actual demand will meet the declining dotted green line in 2023. The dotted green line's position in 2023 is calculated by factoring in the effect of plumbing codes and rate increases between 2018 and 2023. Figure B-2.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE DSS MODEL This section presents the methodology used to determine passive water savings, information regarding national and state plumbing codes, and key inputs and assumptions used in the DSS Model including fixture replacement and estimates. EA National Plumbing Code The Energy Policy Act of 1992, as amended in 2005, mandates that only fixtures meeting the following standards can be installed in new buildings: • Toilet —1.6 gal/flush maximum • Urinals —1.0 gal/flush maximum • Showerhead — 2.5 gal/min at 80 pounds per square inch (psi) • Residential faucets — 2.2 gal/min at 60 psi • Public restroom faucets — 0.5 gal/min at 60 psi • Dishwashing pre -rinse spray valves —1.6 gal/min at 60 psi M Replacement of fixtures in existing buildings is also governed by the Federal Energy Policy Act, which mandates that only devices with the specified level of efficiency (as shown above) can be sold as of 2006. The net result of the plumbing code is that new buildings will have more efficient fixtures and old inefficient fixtures will slowly be replaced with new, more efficient models. The national plumbing code is an important piece of legislation and must be carefully taken into consideration when analyzing the overall water efficiency of a service area. In addition to the plumbing code, the U.S. Department of Energy regulates appliances, such as residential clothes washers, further reducing indoor water demands. Regulations to make these appliances more energy efficient have driven manufactures to dramatically reduce the amount of water these machines use. Generally, front loading washing machines use 30 to 50% less water than conventional models (which are still available). In this analysis, the DSS Model forecasts a gradual transition to high efficiency clothes washers (using 12 gallons or less) so that by the year 2025 that will be the only type of machine available for purchase. In addition to the industry becoming more efficient, rebate programs for washers have been successful in encouraging customers to buy more water efficient models. Given that machines last about 10 years, eventually all machines on the market will be the more water efficient models. Energy Star washing machines have a water factor of 6.0 or less — the equivalent of using 3.1 cubic feet (or 23.2 gallons) of water per load. The maximum water factor for residential clothes washers under current federal standards is 9.5. The water factor equals the number of gallons used per cycle per cubic foot of capacity. Prior to the year 2000, the water factor for a typical new residential clothes washer was about 12. In March 2015, the federal standard reduced the maximum water factor for top - and front -loading machines to 8.4 and 4.7, respectively. In 2018, the maximum water factor for top -loading machines was further reduced to 6.5. For commercial washers, the maximum water factors were reduced in 2010 to 8.5 and 5.5 for top- and front -loading machines, respectively. Beginning in 2015, the maximum water factor for Energy Star certified washers was 3.7 for front - loading and 4.3 for top -loading machines. In 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated that Energy Star washers comprised more that 60% of the residential market and 30% of the commercial market (Energy Star, 2011). A new Energy Star compliant washer uses about two-thirds less water per cycle than washers manufactured in the 1990s. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 71 E.2 State Plumbing Code This section describes California state codes applicable to each member agency service area water use. California State Law — AB 715 Plumbing codes for toilets, urinals, showerheads, and faucets were initially adopted by California in 1991, mandating the sale and use of ultra -low flush toilets (ULFTs) using 1.6 gpf, urinals using 1 gpf, and low -flow showerheads and faucets. AB 715 led to an update to California Code of Regulations Title 20 (see below) mandating that all toilets and urinals sold and installed in California as of January 1, 2014 must be high efficiency versions having flush ratings that do not exceed 1.28 gpf (toilets) and 0.5 gpf (urinals). California State Laws — SB 407 and SB 837 SB 407 addresses plumbing fixture retrofits on resale or remodel. The DSS Model carefully considers the overlap with SB 407, the plumbing code (natural replacement), CALGreen, AB 715 and rebate programs (such as toilet rebates). SB 407 (enacted in 2009) requires that properties built prior to 1994 be fully retrofitted with water conserving fixtures by the year 2017 for single family residential houses and 2019 for multifamily and commercial properties. SB 407 program length is variable and continues until all the older high flush toilets have been replaced in the service area. The number of accounts with high flow fixtures is tracked to make sure that the situation of replacing more high flow fixtures than actually exist does not occur. Additionally, SB 407 conditions issuance of building permits for major improvements and renovations upon retrofit of non -compliant plumbing fixtures. SB 837 (enacted in 2011) requires that sellers of real estate property disclose on their Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement whethertheir property complies with these requirements. Both laws are intended to accelerate the replacement of older, low efficiency plumbing fixtures, and ensure that only high efficiency fixtures are installed in new residential and commercial buildings. 2019 CALGreen and 2015 CA Code of Regulations Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations Fixture characteristics in the DSS Model are tracked in new accounts, which are subject to the requirements of the 2019 California Green Building Code and 2015 California Code of Regulations Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations adopted by the California Energy Commission (CEC) on September 1, 2015. The CEC 2015 appliance efficiency standards apply to the following new appliances, if they are sold in California: showerheads, lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, metering faucets, replacement aerators, wash fountains, tub spout diverters, public lavatory faucets, commercial pre -rinse spray valves, urinals, and toilets. The DSS Model accounts for plumbing code savings due to the effects these standards have on showerheads, faucets, aerators, urinals, and toilets. • Showerheads —July 2016: 2.0 gpm; July 2018: 1.8 gpm • Wall Mounted Urinals —January 2016: 0.125 gpf (pint) • Lavatory Faucets and Aerator —July 2016: 1.2 gpm at 60 psi • Kitchen Faucets and Aerator —July 2016: 1.8 gpm with optional temporary flow of 2.2 gpm at 60 psi • Public Lavatory Faucets —July 2016: 0.5 gpm at 60 psi In summary, the controlling law for toilets is Assembly Bill 715. This bill requires high efficiency toilets (1.28 gpf) to be exclusively sold in California beginning January 1, 2014. The controlling law for wall -mounted urinals is the 2015 CEC efficiency regulations requiring that ultra -high efficiency pint urinals (0.125 gpf) be exclusively sold in California beginning January 1, 2016. This is an efficiency progression for urinals from AB 715's requirement of high efficiency (0.5 gpf) urinals starting in 2014. Standards for residential clothes washers fall under the regulations of the U.S. Department of Energy. In 2018, the maximum water factor for standard top -loading machines was reduced to 6.5. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 72 Showerhead flow rates are regulated under the 2015 California Code of Regulations Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations adopted by the CEC, which requires the exclusive sale in California of 2.0 gpm showerheads at 80 psi as of July 1, 2016 and 1.8 gpm showerheads at 80 psi as of July 1, 2018. The WaterSense specification applies to showerheads that have a maximum flow rate of 2.0 gpm or less. This represents a 20% reduction in showerhead flow rate over the current federal standard of 2.5 gpm, as specified by the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Faucet flow rates have likewise been recently regulated by the 2015 CEC Title 20 regulations. This standard requires that the residential faucets and aerators manufactured on or after July 1, 2016 be exclusively sold in California at 1.2 gpm at 60 psi; and public lavatory and kitchen faucets/aerators sold or offered for sale on or after July 1, 2016 be 0.5 gpm at 60 psi and 1.8 gpm at 60 psi (with optional temporary flow of 2.2 gpm), respectively. Previously, all faucets had been regulated by the 2010 California Green Building Code at 2.2 gpm at 60 psi. E.3 Key Baseline Potable Demand Inputs, Passive Savings Assumptions, and Resources The following table presents the key assumptions and references that are used in the DSS Model in determining projected demands with plumbing code savings. The assumptions having the most dramatic effect on future demands are the natural replacement rate of fixtures; how residential or commercial future use is projected; and the percent of estimated real water losses.

Residential Toilets 2%-4% Non -Residential Toilets 2%-3% Residential Showers 4% (corresponds to 25-year life of a new fixture) Residential Clothes Washers 10% (based on 10-year washer life).

Residential Faucets 10% and Non -Residential Faucets 6.7% (every 15 years). CEC Rate of Fixtures (percent per year) uses an average life of 10 years for faucet accessories (aerators). A similar assumption can be made for public lavatories, though no hard data exists and since CII fixtures are typically replaced less frequently than residential, 15 years is assumed.

Residential Future Increases Based on Population Growth and Demographic Forecast Water Use Non -Residential Future Increases Based on Employment Growth and Demographic Forecast Water Use BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 75 Fixture Estimates Determining the current level of efficient fixtures in a service area while evaluating the passive savings in the DSS Model is part of the standard process and is called "initial fixture proportions." As described earlier in Section 2.2, MWM reconciled water efficient fixtures and devices installed within the BAWSCA service area and estimated the number of outstanding inefficient fixtures. MWM used the DSS Model to perform a saturation analysis for toilets, urinals, showerheads, faucets, and clothes washers. The process included a review of age of buildings from census data, number of rebates per device, and assumed natural replacement rates. MWM presumed the fixtures that were nearing saturation and worth analysis would include residential toilets and residential clothes washers as both have been included in recommended conservation practices for over two decades. In 2014, the Water Research Foundation updated its 1999 Residential End Uses of Water Study (DeOreo, 2016). Water utilities, industry regulators, and government planning agencies consider it the industry benchmark for single family home indoor water use. This Demand Study incorporates recent study results which reflect the change to the profile of water use in residential homes including adoption of more water efficient fixtures over the past 20 years (1999-2019). Residential End Uses of Water Study results were combined with BAWSCA historical rebate and billing data to enhance and verify assumptions made for all customer accounts, including saturation levels on the above -mentioned plumbing fixtures. The DSS Model presents the estimated current and projected proportions of these fixtures by efficiency level within each member agency service area. These proportions were calculated by: • Using standards in place at the time of building construction; • Taking the initial proportions of homes by age (corresponding to fixture efficiency levels); • Adding the net change due to natural replacement; and • Adding the change due to rebate measure minus the "free rider effect"." Further adjustments were made to initial proportions to account for the reduction in fixture use due to lower occupancy and based on field observations. The projected fixture proportions do not include any future active conservation measures implemented by member agencies. More information about the development of initial and projected fixture proportions can be found in the DSS Model "Codes and Standards" section. The DSS Model is capable of modeling multiple types of fixtures, including fixtures with different designs. For example, currently toilets can be purchased that flush at a rate of 0.8 gallons per flush (gpf), 1.0 gpf or 1.28 gpf. The 1.6 gpf and higher toilets still exist but can no longer be purchased in California. Therefore, they cannot be used for replacement or new installation of a toilet. So, the DSS Model utilizes fixture replacement rates to determine what type of fixture should be used for a new construction installation or replacement. The replacement of the fixtures is listed as a percentage within the DSS Model. A value of 100% would indicate that all the toilets installed would be of one particular flush volume. A value of 75% means that three out of every four toilets installed would be of that particular flush volume. All the Fixture Model information and assumptions were carefully reviewed and accepted by BAWSCA staff. The DSS Model provides inputs and analysis of the number, type and replacement rates of fixtures for each customer category (e.g., single family toilets, commercial toilets, residential clothes washing machines). For example, the DSS Model incorporates the effects of the 1992 Federal Energy Policy Act and AB 715 on toilet fixtures. A DSS Model feature determines the "saturation" of 1.6 gpf toilets as the 1992 Federal Energy Policy Act was in effect from 1992 to 2014 for 1.6 gpf toilet replacements. AB 715 now applies for the replacement of 15 It is important to note that in water conservation program management the "free rider effect" occurs when a customer applies for and receives a rebate on a targeted high efficiency fixture that they would have purchased even without a rebate. In this case, the rebate was not the incentive for their purchase but a "bonus." Rebate measures are designed to target those customers needing financial incentive to install the more efficient fixture. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 76 toilets at 1.28 gpf. Further consideration and adjustments were made to replacement rates to account for the reduction in fixture use and wear due to lower occupancy and based on field observations. E.4 Present Value Analysis and the Utility and Community Perspective Present value analysis using present day dollars and a real discount rate of 3% is used to discount costs and benefits to the base year. From this analysis, benefit -cost ratios of each measure are computed. When measures are put together in programs, the model is set up to avoid double counting savings from multiple measures that act on the same end use of water. For example, multiple measures in a program may target toilet replacements. The model includes assumptions to apportion water savings between the multiple measures. Economic analysis can be performed from several different perspectives, based on which party is affected. For planning water use efficiency programs for utilities, perspectives most commonly used for benefit -cost analyses are the "utility" perspective and the "community" perspective. The "utility" benefit -cost analysis is based on the benefits and costs to the water provider. The "community" benefit -cost analysis includes the utility benefit and costs together with account owner/customer benefits and costs. These include customer energy and other capital or operating cost benefits plus costs of implementing the measure, beyond what the utility pays. The utility perspective offers two advantages. First, it considers only the program costs that will be directly borne by the utility. This enables the utility to fairly compare potential investments for saving versus supplying increased quantities of water. Second, revenue shifts are treated as transfer payments, which means program participants will have lower water bills and non -participants will have slightly higher water bills so that the utility's revenue needs continue to be met. Therefore, the analysis is not complicated with uncertainties associated with long-term rate projections and retail rate design assumptions. It should be noted that there is a significant difference between the utility's savings from the avoided cost of procurement and delivery of water and the reduction in retail revenue that results from reduced water sales due to water use efficiency. This budget impact occurs slowly and can be accounted for in water rate planning. Because it is the water provider's role in developing a water use efficiency plan that is vital in this study, the utility perspective was primarily used to evaluate elements of this report. The community perspective is defined to include the utility and the customer costs and benefits. Costs incurred by customers striving to save water while participating in water use efficiency programs are considered, as well as benefits received in terms of reduced energy bills (from water heating costs) and wastewater savings, among others. Water bill savings are not a customer benefit in aggregate for reasons described previously. Other factors external to the utility, such as environmental effects, are often difficult to quantify or are not necessarily under the control of the utility. They are therefore frequently excluded from economic analyses, including this one. E.5 Present Value Parameters The time value of money is explicitly considered. Typically, the costs to save water occur early in the planning period whereas the benefits usually extend to the end of the planning period. A long planning period of over 30 years is often used because costs and benefits that occur beyond 50 years have very little influence on the total present value of the costs and benefits. The value of all future costs and benefits is discounted to the first year in the DSS Model (the base year), at the real interest rate of 3.01%. The DSS Model calculates this real interest rate, adjusting the current nominal interest rate (assumed to be approximately 6.1%) by the assumed rate of inflation (3.0%). The formula to calculate the real interest rate is: (nominal interest rate — assumed rate of inflation)/ (1 + assumed rate of inflation). Cash flows discounted in this manner are herein referred to as "Present Value" sums. E.6 Assumptions About Measure Costs Appendix F presents the assumptions and inputs used in the DSS Model to evaluate each water conservation measure. Assumptions regarding the following variables were made for each measure: BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 77 • Targeted Water User Group End Use — Water user group (e.g., single family residential) and end use (e.g., indoor or outdoor water use) • Utility Unit Cost — Cost of rebates, incentives, and contractors hired by BAWSCA and BAWSCA member agencies to implement measures • Retail Customer Unit Cost — Cost for implementing measures that is paid by retail customers (i.e., remainder of a measure's cost that is not covered by a rebate or incentive) • Utility Administration and Marketing Cost —The cost to the utility for staff time, general expenses, and overhead needed to implement and administer the measure, including consultant contract administration, marketing, and participant tracking. The unit costs vary greatly according to the type of customer and implementation method. For example, a measure might cost a different amount for a single family account than a multifamily account. Rebate program costs are different than costs to develop and enforce an ordinance requirement or a direct installation program. Typically, water utilities incur increased costs with achieving higher market saturation, such as more surveys per year. The model calculates the annual costs based on the number of participants each year. Costs are determined for each of the measures based on industry knowledge, past experience and data provided by BAWSCA staff, Valley Water, SFPUC staff and the member agencies. Costs may include incentive costs, usually determined on a per -participant basis; fixed costs, such as marketing; variable costs, such as the costs to staff the measures and to obtain and maintain equipment; and a one-time set-up cost. The set-up cost is for measure design by staff or consultants, any required pilot testing, and preparation of materials that are used in marketing the measure. Measure costs are estimated each year through 2045. Costs are spread over the time period depending on the length of the implementation period for the measure and estimated voluntary customer participation levels. Lost revenue due to reduced water sales is not included as a cost because the water use conservation measures evaluated herein generally take effect over a long span of time that is sufficient to enable timely rate adjustments, if necessary, to meet fixed cost obligations and savings on variable costs such as energy and chemicals. E.7 Assumptions about Measure Savings Data necessary to forecast water savings of measures include specific data on water use, demographics, market penetration, and unit water savings. Savings normally develop at a measured and predetermined pace, reaching full maturity after full market penetration is achieved. This may occur three to seven years after the start of implementation, depending upon the implementation schedule. For every water use efficiency activity or replacement with more efficient devices, there is a useful life. The useful life is called the "Measure Life" and is defined to be how long water use conservation measures stay in place and continue to save water. It is assumed that measures implemented because of codes, standards, or ordinances (e.g., toilets) would be "permanent" and not revert to an old inefficient level of water use if the device needed to be replaced. However, some measures that are primarily behavior -based, such as residential surveys, are assumed to need to be repeated on an ongoing basis to retain the water savings (e.g., homeowners move away, and the new homeowners may have less efficient water using practices). Surveys typically have a measure life on the order of five years. E.8 Assumptions about Avoided Costs The estimated avoided cost of water was provided by BAWSCA staff and can be found in each BAWSCA member agency's specific DSS Model. The avoided cost of water or water production operational cost is $7.75/ccf as per information from Andree Johnson at BAWSCA on April 2, 2020 based on FY 2030-31 rates from SFPUC's Wholesale Rate Projections for the 10-year horizon. Given that there are no projections beyond the 2031 mark, the 2031 data value was selected. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 78 APPENDIX F.

The time per submeter verification could be averaged across smaller sites if the service area has smaller or fewer apartments. > Customer Costs - Cost of submeter which would be purchased by the customer. > Administration Costs - Cost for staff to administer and track participants. > End Use Water Savings - Valley Water has an existing submetering program since 2001 that was analyzed. Measure saved 22% when analyzed on mobile home parks in 2007. This program on new development starting in 2020 and into the future is modified to new accounts which use less water due to newer building standards, therefore there are less savings by adding individual submeters. To be conservative, assume savings on indoor only. No outdoor savings are assumed because typically large sites have separate irrigation meters. > Targets - Per code this applies to mixed -use accounts, assume that 50% of new MF accounts are eligible.

Includes accounting for production, sales by customer class and quantity of water produced but not sold (non - revenue water). This provides a picture of your system, including water usage patterns and trends needed to identify appropriate conservation activities. In conjunction with system accounting, include audits that identify and quantify known legitimate uses of non - revenue water in order to determine remaining non -revenue water losses. Goal would be to lower the Infrastructure Leakage Index (ILI) and non - revenue water every year by a pre -determined amount based on cost-effectiveness. Continuously analyze billing data for system errors and mis- registering meters. Identify and quickly notify customers of apparent leaks. Address meter testing and repair/replacement to insure more accurate meter reads and revenue collection. Actions could include meter calibration and accelerated meter replacement. > Real Water Loss Reduction - Measure covers efforts to find and repair leaks in the distribution system to reduce real water loss. Actions could include installation of data loggers and proactive leak detection. Leak repairs would be handled by existing crews at no extra cost. > Distribution System Pressure Regulation - Install additional pressure regulators in portions of distribution system to maintain pressure within limits so accounts do not receive excessive pressure.

All measures are advised to have "Annual Maintenance Costs" inputted to allow for budget estimates for complete program. Additional water savings of "NRW" real water losses may be available when technically feasible. Rule of thumb is minimum system water losses below approximately 6% (as defined as the difference between production and consumption or alternatively as a percent of System Input Volume using AWWA Water System Audit definitions). For NRW below 6% (which can be found in the GREEN "NRW" portion of the DSS Model), input "0%" for new real water savings and "$0" in the Backlog Cost section. For NRW above 6%, a GPCD savings input volume can be computed (an estimate of annual savings volume divided by total population). For example a 4.0 GPCD is equivalent to a 2% reduction for the system with a 150 GPCD water use. > Additional Water Loss Control Program budget to achieve these water savings is inputted into the "Backlog Cost" section along with the duration of the years to accomplish the estimated reduction. In other words, $250,000 over S years would add $50,000 per year to assist with meeting NRW reduction goals.

The purpose of the extra detail is to enable a more accurate assessment of the impact of water efficiency programs on demand and to provide a rigorous and defensible modeling approach necessary for projects subject to regulatory or environmental review. Originally developed in 1999 and continuously updated, the DSS Model is an "end -use" model that breaks down total water production (water demand in the service area) to specific water end uses, such as plumbing fixtures and appliance uses. The model uses a bottom -up approach that allows for multiple criteria to be considered when estimating future demands, such as the effects of natural fixture replacement, plumbing codes, and conservation efforts. The DSS Model may also use a top -down approach with a utility -prepared water demand forecast. Demand Forecast Development and Model Calibration: To forecast urban water demands using the DSS Model, customer demand data is obtained from the water agency being modeled. Demand data is reconciled with available demographic data to characterize water usage for each customer category in terms of number of users per account and per capita water use. Data is further analyzed to approximate the split of indoor and outdoor water usage in each customer category. The indoor/outdoor water usage is further divided into typical end uses for each customer category. Published data on average per capita indoor water use and average per capita end use is combined with the number of water users to calibrate the volume of water allocated to specific end uses in each customer category. In other words, the DSS Model checks that social norms from end studies on water use behavior (e.g., flushes per person per day) are not exceeded or drop below reasonable use limits. Passive Water Savings Calculations: The DSS Model is used to Figure G-1 DSS Model Main Page forecast service area water fixture use. Specific end -use type, average water use, and lifetime are compiled for each fixture. Additionally, state and national plumbing codes and appliance standards are modeled by customer category. These fixtures and plumbing codes can be added to, edited, or deleted by the user. This process yields two demand forecasts, one with plumbing codes and one without plumbing codes. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 102 Active Conservation Measure Analysis Using Benefit -Cost Analysis: As shown in Figure G-2, the DSS Model evaluates active conservation measures using benefit -cost analysis with the present value of the cost of water saved ($/Million Gallons or $/Acre -Feet). Benefits are based on savings in water and wastewater facility operations and maintenance (O&M) and any deferred capital expenditures. Figure G-2. Sample Benefit -Cost Analysis Summary Model Use and Validation: As shown in Figure G-3, the DSS Model has been used for over 20 years for practical applications of conservation planning in over 300 service areas representing 60 million people, including extensive efforts nationally and internationally in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Figure G-3. DSS Model Analysis Locations in the U.S. • • i ' • The California Urban Water Conservation Council, (now known as theCalifornia Water Efficiency Partnership) has peer reviewed and endorsed the model since 2006. It is offered to all CaIWEP members for use to estimate water demand, plumbing code, and conservation program savings. BAWSCA Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections 103 The DSS Model can use one of the following: 1) a statistical approach to forecast demands (e.g., an Econometric Model); 2) a forecasted increase in population and employment; 3) predicted future demands; or 4) a demand projection entered into the model from an outside source.

BACKGROUND Over the years Burlingame Lions Club has continuously supported the library's work providing outstanding children's literacy programs and large -type materials for the visually impaired in the largest large type collection in San Mateo County. Burlingame Library was awarded this California State Library grant as part of the "Sustainable Living" project. The project's goal is to provide libraries with the opportunity to design programming and educational opportunities focused on sustainability and climate resilience, by collaborating with project partners and creating community connections. DISCUSSION Many years ago the first City Librarian for the City of Burlingame, George Paul Lechich, bequeathed a trust fund to the Lions Club of Burlingame to be used for the Burlingame Library. These funds have been very helpful of the years and are used to purchase children's books. And because the Lions Club took up the challenge given to them by Helen Kelller, some of the funs will be used for large -type that make reading more enjoyable for those with visual impairments. The Sustainable Living grant project will take a three -prong approach focusing on the following areas: gardening/water use, reuse/reduce/recycle, and electrification (examples of electrification from the city Climate Action Plan are renewable energy, net zero energy building, carbon free transportation). Staff will expand on some current offerings such as Repair Cafe, Seed Library, plant exchange, sewing instruction as well as add new components with the input of our community Acceptance of Sustainable Living Grant September 5, 2023 guides, such as assisting the Burlingame/Hillsborough community navigate the complicated array of rebates and options for electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy efficient appliances. Potential collaborating partners include other city divisions (Jennifer Lee - Environmental Regulatory Compliance and Sigalle Michaels Sustainability Coordinator) and the Burlingame Citizens Environmental Council (CEC). FISCAL IMPACT Funds from both grants will be used to purchase books and/or supplies, hire speakers, and provide relevant giveaways to the public. There will be no fiscal impact to the general fund.

The budget amendment shall become effective on September 5th, 2023. Michael Brownrigg, Mayor I, Meaghan Hassel -Shearer, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced and adopted at a regular meeting of the Burlingame City Council held on September 5th, 2023 by the following vote to wit: AYES: Councilmembers: NOES: Councilmembers: ABSENT: Councilmembers: Meaghan Hassel -Shearer, City Clerk To Date: From STAFF REPORT Honorable Mayor and City Council September 5, 2023 AGENDA NO: 10e MEETING DATE: September 5, 2023 Maria Saguisag-Sid, Human Resources Director — (650) 558-7209 Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing The City of Burlingame to Participate in the Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA) for Employment Practice Liability Coverage RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing participation in the Employment Risk Management Authority for Employment Practice Liability coverage. BACKGROUND Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA) is a statewide risk -sharing pool that provides coverage and loss prevention services to public entities. It has been in operation since July 1, 1999, and covers more than 210 public agencies throughout the State of California. The Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA) joined ERMA in February 2020 and offers ERMA's Employment Practice Liability (EPL) as optional coverage to their member agencies. ERMA provides loss prevention services to minimize EPL exposure through a comprehensive and innovative package of services. These services include interactive and hands-on employment practices training, an employee reporting line, an attorney hotline, and legal alerts for member agencies. ERMA also contracts with several legal firms that can provide investigation and litigation support to agencies at competitive rates. Attached is an overview sheet with more detail on ERMA's services. DISCUSSION The City of Burlingame is a member agency of PLAN JPA but has not opted to carry EPL coverage. Staff recommends carrying EPL coverage to reduce possible exposure should we receive employment -related claims such as discrimination, harassment, or unlawful hiring practice complaints. By becoming a participating agency with ERMA, the City will be able to promote the prevention of employment -related claims as well as have support to address claims against the City, as well as limit financial exposure. 1 Authorizing Participation in Employment Risk Management Authority September 5, 2023 To be considered by the ERMA Board of Directors for inclusion, the City of Burlingame is required to submit a completed application with financial statements, employment practice loss information for the previous seven fiscal years, an intent to participate form, and an executed resolution authorizing participation in ERMA. If approved by the ERMA Board of Directors, the City would join as an underlying member of PLAN JPA effective January 1, 2024. Staff recommends approving the attached resolution that would approve the City of Burlingame to participate in ERMA and designate the City Manager to execute the necessary documents for ERMA membership. FISCAL IMPACT Staff noted during the May 2023 budget study session that the City intends to become a member of ERMA and included approximately $233,000 to cover the cost of participation. ERMA provided a contribution indication to the City of Burlingame that equaled $209,139 for a $50,000 retention limit for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. As we are intending to join at the next available opportunity of January 1, 2024, the indication will be prorated to approximately 50% for the remainder of the program year so there is no additional fiscal impact at this time.

Goldman, City Manager — (650) 558-7204 Michael Guina, City Attorney — (650) 558-7204 Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Establishing Chapter 6.55, "San Francisco Tourism Marketing District," of Title 6 of the Burlingame Municipal Code Regarding Establishment of the San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District; CEQA Determination Exempt Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3); and Adoption of a Resolution Declaring Results of Majority Protest Proceedings and Establishing the San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council hold a Public Hearing to consider the proposed Ordinance and Resolution to form the San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District (SFPTMD). Staff recommends the following procedure: 1. Receive the staff report and ask any questions of staff. 2. Open the Public Hearing and allow for any oral or written protests against the proposed district to be lodged. 3. Close the Public Hearing and declare whether a majority of businesses within the proposed district area submitted a protest. 4. If no majority protest was received, the City Council should: a. By motion, adopt the proposed Ordinance and direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the Ordinance within 15 days of adoption; and b. Adopt the proposed Resolution establishing the San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District. 1 Formation of SF Peninsula Tourism Marketing District September 5, 2023 BACKGROUND In 2001, the San Mateo County Tourism Business Improvement District (SMCTBID) was formed pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (89 Law) by Ordinance No. 1648. The San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau dba The San Francisco Peninsula (SFP), and San Mateo County lodging businesses now seek to modernize the SMCTBID by forming a new District, the San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District (SFPTMD), pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (94 Law). DISCUSSION The SFPTMD is a benefit assessment district proposed to create a revenue source to help fund marketing and sales promotion efforts for San Francisco Peninsula area lodging businesses. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the state to improve tourism and drive additional room nights to assessed lodging businesses. The proposed SFPTMD includes all lodging businesses located within the boundaries of the cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and the unincorporated area of San Mateo County. SFP and lodging business owners decided to pursue formation of the SFPTMD in order to create a revenue source devoted to marketing the San Francisco Peninsula area as a tourist, meeting, and event destination. If established, the SFPTMD would generate approximately $10,336,711 on an annual basis for promotion of travel and tourism specific to the San Francisco Peninsula area. TOURISM MARKETING DISTRICTS Tourism Marketing Districts (TMDs) utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market - based promotion of tourism. These special assessment districts allow lodging business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Lodging business owners within the TMD fund the TMD, and those funds are used to provide services that are desired by and benefit the lodging businesses within the TMD. TMD benefits: • Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs; • They are customized to fit the needs of each destination; • They allow for a wide range of services; including destination marketing, tourism promotion, and sales lead generation; • They are designed, created, and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and • They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion. In California, TMDs are primarily formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (94 Law). This law allows for the creation of a special benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TMDs and fra Formation of SF Peninsula Tourism Marketing District September 5, 2023 other special benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the TMD. MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PLAN The Management District Plan (Exhibit 1) includes the proposed boundary of the SFPTMD, a service plan and budget, and a proposed means of governance. The SFPTMD will include all lodging businesses located within the boundaries of the cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and the unincorporated area of San Mateo County. The annual assessment rate is one- and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue for lodging businesses with 5,000 square feet or more of dedicated meeting space, and 0.75% for all other lodging businesses within the SFPTMD's boundaries. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than 30 consecutive days; stays provided to airline cockpit and/or cabin crews pursuant to an agreement between a hotel and an airline, which is in furtherance of or to facilitate such crews' performance of theirjobs for the airline, including layovers between flights; employees of the state or federal government if room charges are paid directly by their employing agency and copies of official travel orders are submitted as applicable; and any properly credentialed officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty. The proposed SFPTMD will have a five-year life, beginning January 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five years from its start date. The assessment will be implemented beginning January 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter. Once per year beginning on the anniversary of SFPTMD formation, there is a 30-day period in which business owners paying 50% or more of the assessment may protest and begin proceedings to terminate the SFPTMD. The City of Burlingame shall be responsible for collecting the assessments on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties, and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the SFPTMD. The City shall make all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. The City shall be paid a fee equal to one percent (1 %) of the amount of assessment collected, or a flat fee of $60,000, whichever is greater, each year to cover its costs of collection and administration. SFPTMD FORMATION PROCESS May 15, 2023 RESOLUTION OF INTENTION HEARING & RESOLUTION REQUESTING CONSENT (COMPLETED) Upon the submission of a written petition, signed by the lodging business owners in the proposed district who will pay more than 50% of the assessments proposed to be levied, the City Council may initiate 3 Formation of SF Peninsula Tourism Marketing District September 5, 2023 proceedings to establish a district by the adoption of a resolution expressing its intention to establish a district. Petition Status: Petitions in favor of SFPTMD formation were submitted by 65 lodging businesses, which represent 58.12% of the total SFPTMD assessment. This majority petition allows the City Council to initiate proceedings for SFPTMD formation at the May 15, 2023 meeting. Upon adoption of the Resolution of Intention, the City of Burlingame shall adopt a resolution requesting consent from all jurisdictions to be included in the proposed SFPTMD. Consent must be received from the jurisdictions prior to the final public hearing for their jurisdiction to be included in the established SFPTMD. By May 21, 2023 NOTICE (COMPLETED) The 94 Law requires the City to mail written notice to the owners of all lodging businesses proposed to be within the SFPTMD. Mailing the notice begins a mandatory 45-day period in which owners may protest SFPTMD formation. June 20, 2023 PUBLIC MEETING (COMPLETED) Allow public testimony on the formation of the SFPTMD and levy of assessments. No Council action required. July 5, 2023 CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING (COMPLETED) Lodging businesses were noticed that the public hearing on the formation of the SFPTMD would occur on July 5, 2023, however the SFP requested that the City postpone the public hearing, declaration of results from the majority protest proceedings, and adoption of a resolution establishing the SFPTMD until September 5, 2023, to allow additional time for the jurisdictions proposed to be included in the SFPTMD boundaries to grant consent to be included. August 21, 2023 PUBLIC HEARING AND INTRODUCTION/FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE (COMPLETED) Two jurisdictions, Menlo Park and Foster City, were unable to grant consent before the deadline and will therefore not be included in the SFPTMD boundaries. The Management District Plan dated August 14, 2023 has been updated accordingly to reflect this change. Hold a Public Hearing and allow public testimony on the formation of the SFPTMD and levy of assessments. At the public hearing, the Council shall introduce and conduct the first reading of the Ordinance forming the SFPTMD and levying the assessment. E'' Formation of SF Peninsula Tourism Marketing District September 5, 2023 September 5, 2023 FINAL PUBLIC HEARING AND SECOND READING/ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE SFPTMD If written protests are received from the owners of lodging businesses in the proposed SFPTMD who will pay more than 50% of the assessments proposed to be levied, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50%, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such lodging businesses shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the Council. If the Council, following the public hearing, decides to establish the proposed SFPTMD, the Council shall adopt a resolution of formation. Following a successful public hearing and first reading of the Ordinance, the Council shall convene to hold a second reading of the Ordinance establishing the SFPTMD and levying the assessment. Upon successful passage of the Ordinance, the SFPTMD shall be established, and the Ordinance shall go into effect thirty (30) days after successful passage of the Ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact from this action. The City will receive a fee of 1 % of the amount collected, or a flat fee of $60,000, whichever is greater, each year to cover its costs of collection and administration. Because the SFPTMD programs are intended to increase visitation to the San Fransisco Peninsula area, there may be an increase in transient occupancy tax and sales tax collections.

OVERVIEW Developed by the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau dba The San Francisco Peninsula (SFP) and San Mateo County lodging businesses, the San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District (SFPTMD) is an assessment district proposed to provide specific benefits to payors, by funding marketing and sales promotion efforts for assessed businesses. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the country to provide the benefit of additional room night sales directly to payors. In 2001, the San Mateo County Tourism Business Improvement District (SMCTBID) was formed pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (89 Law). This effort seeks to modernize the SMCTBID by disestablishing the 89 Law District and forming a new District, the SFPTMD, pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (94 Law). Location: The SFPTMD includes all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and the unincorporated area of San Mateo County, as shown on the map in Section III. Services: The SFPTMD is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing awareness and demand for room night sales, meetings, and conventions. Sales and marketing programs will increase demand for overnight tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations, thereby increasing demand for room night sales, meetings, and conventions. Budget: The total SFPTMD annual assessment budget for the initial year of its five (5) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $10,336,711. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do. Cost.. The annual assessment rate is one- and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue for lodging businesses with 5,000 square feet or more of dedicated meeting space, and 0.75% for all other lodging businesses within the SFPTMD's boundaries. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays provided to airline cockpit and/or cabin crews pursuant to an agreement between a hotel and an airline, which is in furtherance of or to facilitate such crews' performance of their jobs for the airline, including layovers between flights; employees of the state or federal government if room charges are paid directly by their employing agency and copies of official travel orders are submitted as applicable; and any properly credentialed officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty. Collection: The City of Burlingame shall be responsible for collecting the assessments on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the SFPTMD. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. SFPTMD Management District Plan August 14, 2023 Duration: The SFPTMD will have a five (5) year life, beginning January 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five (5) years from its start date. After five (5) years, the SFPTMD may be renewed pursuant to the 94 Law if business owners support continuing the SFPTMD programs. Once per year, beginning on the anniversary of SFPTMD formation, there is a thirty (30) day period in which owners paying fifty percent (50%) or more of the assessment may protest and initiate a hearing on SFPTMD termination. Management.• The San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau dba The San Francisco Peninsula (SFP) shall serve as the SFPTMD's Owners' Association. The Owners' Association is charged with managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with this Plan, and must provide annual reports to the Burlingame City Council. The SFP shall create a SFPTMD Committee tasked with determining how SFPTMD funds are spent, within the designated programs in this Plan, subject to final approval by the SFP Board. The SFPTMD Committee shall include lodging business owners or representatives paying the SFPTMD assessment. SFPTMD Management District Plan 4 August 14, 2023 II. BACKGROUND TMDs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The first TMD was formed in West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, over 100 California destinations have followed suit. In recent years, other states have begun adopting the California model — Massachusetts, Montana, South Dakota, Washington, Colorado, Texas and Louisiana have adopted TMD laws. Several other states are in the process of adopting their own legislation. The cities of Wichita, Kansas and Newark, New Jersey used an existing business improvement district law to form a TMD. And, some cities, like Portland, Oregon and Memphis, Tennessee have utilized their home rule powers to create TMDs without a state law. ' California's TMDs collectively Number of Districts Operating in California raise over $300 million annually 120 109114 for local destination 100 95 101 marketing. With competitors raising their budgets, and so 75 increasing rivalry for visitor 61 64 dollars, it is important that San 60 46 Francisco Peninsula tourism 3s businesses invest in stable, 4O 19 25 29 32 commerce -specific marketing zo � 2 0 6 ©� � � programs. TMDs utilize the efficiencies °N�cP� yo° _gyp _, cp`'_f� �p I f If _11oti°,�o'111aoti3 yoti�'166'116,11 ,1V of private sector operation in the market -based promotion of tourism districts. TMDs allow tourism business owners to organize their efforts to increase commerce. Tourism business owners within the TMD pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that increase commerce. In California, most TMDs are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. This law allows for the creation of a benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key doerence between TMDs and other benefit assessment districts is that unds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district. There are many benefits to TMDs: • Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit only to those who pay; • Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs; • They are customized to fit the needs of payors in each destination; • They allow for a wide range of services; • They are designed, created andgoverned by those who will pay the assessment; and • They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion. SFPTMD Management District Plan 5 August 14, 2023 III. BOUNDARY The SFPTMD includes all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and the unincorporated area of San Mateo County, illustrated by the map below. "Lodging business" means: any hotel, motel, inn, bed and breakfast, or other similar structure or portion thereof that is rented for dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes on a transient basis. Tourist home or house, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodginghouse, roominghouse, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, are not included in the definition of "lodging business." The boundary is shown on the map below. A list of lodging businesses proposed to be assessed in the SFPTMD can be found in Appendix 2. SFPTMD Management District Plan 6 August 14, 2023 IV. ASSESSMENT BUDGET AND SERVICES A. Annual Service Plan Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services provided with the SFPTMD funds are sales and marketing programs available only to assessed businesses. A service plan assessment budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed businesses. A detailed annual assessment budget will be developed and approved by the SFP. The table below illustrates the initial annual assessment budget allocations. These activities and allocations will also apply in subsequent years. The total initial assessment budget is $10,336,711. Initial Annual Assessment Budget: $10,336,711 Sales, Marketing, 6 Advocacy, $9,303,040 , 90% Administration & Onerations, , 8% ntingency/Reserve, $103,367 , 1% City Collection Fee, $103,367 , 1% Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the budget shall remain the same. However, the City and the SFP board shall have the authority to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than twenty (20%) of the total budget per year. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the SFPTMD, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the SFPTMD. In the first year of operation, the costs of creating the SFPTMD may be repaid by deducting repayment funds proportionally from budget categories. Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the sales and marketing budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing the sales and marketing program. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administrative portion of the budget. The costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the services below will be determined by the SFP Board on an as- needed basis. SFPTMD Management District Plan 7 August 14, 2023 Sales, Marketing, & Advocacy A sales and marketing program will promote assessed businesses as tourist, meeting, and event destinations. The sales and marketing program will have a central theme of promoting San Francisco Peninsula as a desirable place for overnight visits. The program will have the goal of increasing overnight visitation and room night sales at assessed businesses, and may include the following activities: • Funds to support group business to offset costs within the destination, thereby generating room nights for assessed businesses; • Payment of bid fees, incentives or other costs associated with bringing large scale events to the destination that generate room nights for assessed businesses; • Funds to support events and/or local partnerships that increase the public notoriety of the destination as a tourist, meetings, or event destination — thereby increasing consumer demand for assessed businesses; • Support of public relation strategies that increase the profile of the destination as a tourist, meetings, or event destination — thereby increasing consumer demand for assessed businesses; • Strategic partnerships, sponsorships, or other alliances that reinforce the destination within the travel marketplace and position the San Francisco Peninsula as a destination of choice for meetings, events, and leisure travel to assessed businesses; • Internet marketing efforts to increase awareness and optimize internet presence to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Print ads in magazines and newspapers, television ads, and radio ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Attendance of trade shows to promote assessed businesses; • Familiarization tours of the destination and assessed businesses; • Preparation and production of collateral promotional materials such as brochures, flyers and maps featuring assessed businesses; • Attendance of professional industry conferences and affiliation events to promote assessed businesses; • Lead generation activities designed to attract tourists and group events to assessed businesses; • Director of Sales and General Manager meetings to plan and coordinate tourism promotion efforts for assessed businesses; • Education of hospitality staff on service and safety (related to alcohol and food) designed to create a visitor experience that will bring repeat visits to assessed businesses; • Education of lodging business management and the Owners' Association on advocacy and marketing strategies best suited to meet assessed businesses' needs; and • Other activities that increase the profile and notoriety of The San Francisco Peninsula as an overnight travel destination and promote greater room night sales for assessed businesses. Administration & Operations The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing costs, office costs, and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting fees. Contingency/Reserve The budget includes a contingency line item to account for uncollected assessments, if any. If there are contingency funds collected, they may be held in a reserve fund or utilized for other program, administration or renewal costs at the discretion of the SFP Board. Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve SFPTMD Management District Plan August 14, 2023 fund shall be set by the SFP Board. Contingency/reserve funds may be spent on SFPTMD programs or administrative and renewal costs in such proportions as determined by the SFP Board. The reserve fund may be used for the costs of renewing the SFPTMD. City Collection Fee As lead agency, the City of Burlingame shall retain a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of assessment collected or a flat fee of $60,000, whichever is greater each year, to cover their costs of collection and administration. B. Annual Budget The total five (5) year improvement and service plan budget is projected at approximately $10,336,711 annually, or $60,838,553 through 2028. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do. The following chart has been prepared based on a five-year projection developed by SMG Consulting. The full report can be found in Appendix 4.

California Constitutional Compliance The SFPTMD assessment is not a property -based assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218. Courts have found Proposition 218 limited the term `assessments' to levies on real property! Rather, the SFPTMD assessment is a business -based assessment, and is subject to Proposition 26. Pursuant to Proposition 26 all levies are a tax unless they fit one of seven exceptions. Two of these exceptions apply to the SFPTMD, a "specific benefit" and a "specific government service." Both require that the costs of benefits or services do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of conferring the benefits or providing the services. L Specific Benefit Proposition 26 requires that assessment funds be expended on, "a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the 1 Jarvis v. the City of San Diego 72 Cal App. 41230 SFPTMD Management District Plan 9 August 14, 2023 privilege."' The services in this Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses, and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific businesses within the SFPTMD. The activities described in this Plan are specifically targeted to increase demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses within the boundaries of the SFPTMD, and are narrowly tailored. SFPTMD funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales directly to the assessees. Assessment funds shall not be used to feature non -assessed lodging businesses in SFPTMD programs, or to directly generate sales for non -assessed businesses. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed businesses. Nothing in this Plan limits the ability of the SFP Corporation to enter into private contracts with non -assessed lodging businesses for the provision of services to those businesses. The assessment imposed by this SFPTMD is for a specific benefit conferred directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged. The specific benefit conferred directly to the payors is an increase in demand for room night sales. The specific benefit of an increase in demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses will be provided only to lodging businesses paying the district assessment, with marketing and sales programs promoting lodging businesses paying the SFPTMD assessment. The marketing and sales programs will be designed to increase room night sales at each assessed lodging businesses. Because they are necessary to provide the marketing and sales programs that specifically benefit the assessed lodging businesses, the administration and contingency services also provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales to the assessed lodging businesses. Although the SFPTMD, in providing specific benefits to payors, may produce incidental benefits to non-paying businesses, the incidental benefit does not preclude the services from being considered a specific benefit. The legislature has found that, "A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a `specific benefit' merely because an indirect benefit to a non-payor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor.i3 2. Specific Government Service The assessment may also be utilized to provide, "a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.i' The legislature has recognized that marketing and promotions services like those to be provided by the SFPTMD are government services within the meaning of Proposition 265. Further, the legislature has determined that "a specific government service is not excluded from classification as a `specific government service' merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific government service to the payor. ,6 3. Reasonable Cost SFPTMD services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. The full amount assessed will be used to provide the services described herein. Funds will be managed by the SFP, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the City. Only assessed 2 Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(1) s Government Code § 53758(a) a Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(2) 5 Government Code § 53758(b) 6 Government Code § 53758(b) SFPTMD Management District Plan August 14, 2023 10 lodging businesses will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from SFPTMD-funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and benefit from other SFPTMD- funded services. Non -assessed lodging businesses will not receive these, nor any other, SFPTMD- funded services and benefits. The SFPTMD-funded programs are all targeted directly at and feature only assessed businesses. It is, however, possible that there will be a spill -over benefit to non -assessed businesses. If non -assessed lodging businesses receive incremental room nights, that portion of the promotion or program generating those room nights shall be paid with non-SFPTMD funds. SFPTMD funds shall only be spent to benefit the assessed businesses, and shall not be spent on that portion of any program which directly generates incidental room nights for non -assessed businesses. D. Assessment The annual assessment rate is one- and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue for lodging businesses with 5,000 square feet or more of dedicated meeting space, and 0.75% for all other lodging businesses within the SFPTMD's boundaries. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays provided to airline cockpit and/or cabin crews pursuant to an agreement between a hotel and an airline, which is in furtherance of or to facilitate such crews' performance of their jobs for the airline, including layovers between flights; employees of the state or federal government if room charges are paid directly by their employing agency and copies of official travel orders are submitted as applicable; and any properly credentialed officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty. The services provided in the SFPTMD are all targeted to benefit payors, however, not all programs benefit payors equally. The determination of the assessment rates of one- and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue for lodging businesses with 5,000 square feet or more of dedicated meeting space, and 0.75% for all other lodging businesses within the SFPTMD's boundaries, was calculated based on benefit received by payors. SMG Consulting was engaged to conduct a Hotel Revenue Proportionality Estimate analysis to quantify the estimated benefit the lodging business types will receive from SFPTMD services. By analyzing the projected number of rooms sold and the total amount of revenue estimated to be generated from sales and marketing programs, SMG Consulting found that properties with 5,000 square feet or more of dedicated meeting space will receive approximately double the amount of benefit to all other lodging businesses. The SFPTMD Sales, Marketing, and Advocacy program included in the budget has services that are intended to drive convention and meetings to the SFPTMD. Since lodging businesses with 5,000 square feet or more of dedicated meeting space are uniquely suited to accommodate large conventions and will benefit from overnight stays as a result of SFPTMD services intended to bring such business activity to the SFPTMD, they are assessed at a higher rate than other lodging businesses in the SFPTMD. The term "dedicated meeting space" as used herein means: a permanent room or space whose primary use is dedicated for group and social meetings, meals, and/or functions. The space has been designed for and is marketed and sold as group or event function space. The term "gross sleeping room rental revenue" as used herein means: the consideration charged, whether or not received, for the occupancy of space in a lodging business valued in money, whether to be received in money, goods, labor or otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits and property and services of any kind or nature, without any deduction therefrom whatsoever. Gross sleeping room rental revenue shall not include any federal, state, or local taxes collected, including but not SFPTMD Management District Plan 11 August 14, 2023 limited to transient occupancy taxes. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays provided to airline cockpit and/or cabin crews pursuant to an agreement between a hotel and an airline, which is in furtherance of or to facilitate such crews' performance of their jobs for the airline, including layovers between flights; employees of the state or federal government if room charges are paid directly by their employing agency and copies of official travel orders are submitted as applicable; and any properly credentialed officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty. The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed lodging business. However, the assessed lodging business may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to transients. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the SFPTMD assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the "SFPTMD Assessment." As an alternative, the disclosure may include the amount of the SFPTMD assessment and the amount of the assessment imposed pursuant to the California Tourism Marketing Act, Government Code §13995 et seq. and shall be disclosed as the "Tourism Assessment." The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed lodging business even if it is passed on to transients. The assessment shall not be considered revenue for any purpose, including calculation of transient occupancy taxes. Bonds shall not be issued. E. Penalties and Interest The SFPTMD shall reimburse the City of Burlingame for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments. If sums in excess of the delinquent SFPTMD assessment are sought to be recovered in the same collection action by the City, the SFPTMD shall bear its pro rata share of such collection costs. Assessed businesses which are delinquent in paying the assessment shall be responsible for paying: 1. Original Delinquency: Any lodging business that fails to remit any assessment imposed within the time required shall pay a penalty of five percent (5%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment. 2. Continued Delinquency: Any lodging business that fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of fifteen (15) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency penalty of five percent (5%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment and the five percent (5%) penalty first imposed. An additional penalty of five percent (5%) shall be paid for each fifteen (15) days thereafter which the remittance is delinquent. 3. Fraud. If the City determines that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this chapter is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in subsections (1) and (2) of this section. 4. Interest In addition to the penalties imposed, any lodging business that fails to remit any assessment imposed shall pay interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid. SFPTMD Management District Plan 12 August 14, 2023 F. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments The SFPTMD assessment will be implemented beginning January 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five (5) years from its start date. The City of Burlingame shall be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis, (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the SFPTMD. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. The City shall forward the assessments collected to the Owners' Association. SFPTMD Management District Plan 13 August 14, 2023 V. GOVERNANCE A. Owners' Association The Burlingame City Council, through adoption of this Management District Plan, has the right, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners' Association of the SFPTMD as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The San Francisco Peninsula (SFP) will serve as the SFPTMD's Owners' Association. The Owners' Association is charged with managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with the Management District Plan, and must provide annual reports to Burlingame City Council. The SFP shall create a SFPTMD Committee tasked with determining how SFPTMD funds are spent, within the designated programs in this Plan, subject to final approval by the SFP Board. The SFPTMD Committee shall include lodging business owners or representatives paying the SFPTMD assessment. B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance An Owners' Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners' Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are designed to promote public accountability. The Owners' Association acts as a legislative body under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the SFP board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. The Owners' Association is also subject to the record keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. Accordingly, the Owners' Association shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action. C. Annual Report The SFP shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the City Council pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include: • Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district. • The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. • An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year. • The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year. • The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year. • The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part. SFPTMD Management District Plan 14 August 14, 2023 APPENDIX 1- LAW *** THIS DOCUMENT IS CURRENT THROUGH THE 2022 SUPPLEMENT *** (ALL 2021 LEGISLATION) STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE DIVISION 18. PARKING PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994 CHAPTER 1. General Provisions ARTICLE 1. Declarations 36600. Citation of part This part shall be known and may be cited as the "Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994." 36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state's communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements. (d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businesses in a business district are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits: (1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied. (2) Job creation. (3) Business attraction. (4) Business retention. (5) Economic growth. (6) New investments. (f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property -based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property -based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature's guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property -based districts. (1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property -based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property. (2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed. Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those special benefits. The SFPTMD Management District Plan 15 August 14, 2023 mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits. (3) It is of the utmost importance that property -based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessments they may levy and the proper determination of special benefits. Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property -based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined. 36602. Purpose of part The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act. This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes. 36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)). 36603.5. Part prevails over conflicting provisions Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part. 36604.Severability This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the person subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the city as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b). If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners. 36624. Changes to proposed assessments At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the SFPTMD Management District Plan 20 August 14, 2023 revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627. 36625. Resolution of formation (a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following: (1) A brief description of the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, the amount of the proposed assessment, a statement as to whether the assessment will be levied on property, businesses, or both within the district, a statement on whether bonds will be issued, and a description of the exterior boundaries of the proposed district, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The descriptions and statements need not be detailed and shall be sufficient if they enable an owner to generally identify the nature and extent of the improvements, maintenance, and activities and the location and extent of the proposed district. (2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention. (3) The time and place where the public hearing was held concerning the establishment of the district.

(6) A statement that the improvements, maintenance, and activities to be conferred on businesses and properties in the district will be funded by the levy of the assessments. The revenue from the levy of assessments within a district shall not be used to provide improvements, maintenance, or activities outside the district or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in the resolution of intention, as modified by the city council at the hearing concerning establishment of the district. Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the district boundaries to create a special or specific benefit to the assessed parcels or businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the district. (7) A finding that the property or businesses within the area of the property and business improvement district will be benefited by the improvements, maintenance, and activities funded by the proposed assessments, and, for a property -based district, that property within the district will receive a special benefit. (8) In a property -based district, the total amount of all special benefits to be conferred on the properties within the property -based district. (b) The adoption of the resolution of formation and, if required, recordation of the notice and map pursuant to Section 36627 shall constitute the levy of an assessment in each of the fiscal years referred to in the management district plan. 36627.

No other provision of Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 3100) applies to an assessment district created pursuant to this part. 36628. Establishment of separate benefit zones within district; Categories of businesses The city council may establish one or more separate benefit zones within the district based upon the degree of benefit derived from the improvements or activities to be provided within the benefit zone and may impose a different assessment within each benefit zone. If the assessment is to be levied on businesses, the city council may also define categories of businesses based upon the degree of benefit that each will derive from the improvements or activities to be provided within the district and may impose a different assessment or rate of assessment on each category of business, or on each category of business within each zone. 36628.5. Assessments on businesses or property owners SFPTMD Management District Plan 21 August 14, 2023 The city council may levy assessments on businesses or on property owners, or a combination of the two, pursuant to this part. The city council shall structure the assessments in whatever manner it determines corresponds with the distribution of benefits from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, provided that any property -based assessment conforms with the requirements set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (k) of Section 36622. 36629. Provisions and procedures applicable to benefit zones and business categories All provisions of this part applicable to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of a property and business improvement district apply to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of benefit zones or categories of business. The city council shall, to establish, modify, or disestablish a benefit zone or category of business, follow the procedure to establish, modify, or disestablish a property and business improvement district. 36630.

CHAPTER 3. Assessments 36631. Time and manner of collection of assessments; Delinquent payments The collection of the assessments levied pursuant to this part shall be made at the time and in the manner set forth by the city council in the resolution levying the assessment.

All delinquent payments for assessments levied pursuant to this part may be charged interest and penalties. 36632. Assessments to be based on estimated benefit; Classification of real property and businesses; Exclusion of residential and agricultural property (a) The assessments levied on real property pursuant to this part shall be levied on the basis of the estimated benefit to the real propertywithin the property and business improvement district. The city council may classify properties for purposes of determining the benefit to property of the improvements and activities provided pursuant to this part. (b) Assessments levied on businesses pursuant to this part shall be levied on the basis of the estimated benefit to the businesses within the property and business improvement district. The city council may classify businesses for purposes of determining the benefit to the businesses of the improvements and activities provided pursuant to this part. (c) Properties zoned solely for residential use, or that are zoned for agricultural use, are conclusively presumed not to benefit from the improvements and service funded through these assessments, and shall not be subject to any assessment pursuant to this part. 36633. Time for contesting validity of assessment The validity of an assessment levied under this part shall not be contested in an action or proceeding unless the action or proceeding is commenced within 30 days after the resolution levying the assessment is adopted pursuant to Section 36625. An appeal from a final judgment in an action or proceeding shall be perfected within 30 days after the entry of judgment. 36634. Service contracts authorized to establish levels of city services The city council may execute baseline service contracts that would establish levels of city services that would continue after a property and business improvement district has been formed. 36635. Request to modify management district plan The owners' association may, at any time, request that the city council modify the management district plan. Any modification of the management district plan shall be made pursuant to this chapter. 36636. Modification of plan by resolution after public hearing; Adoption of resolution of intention SFPTMD Management District Plan 22 August 14, 2023 (a) Upon the written request of the owners' association, the city council may modify the management district plan after conducting one public hearing on the proposed modifications. The city council may modify the improvements and activities to be funded with the revenue derived from the levy of the assessments by adopting a resolution determining to make the modifications after holding a public hearing on the proposed modifications. If the modification includes the levy of a new or increased assessment, the city council shall comply with Section 36623. Notice of all other public hearings pursuant to this section shall comply with both of the following: (1) The resolution of intention shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city once at least seven days before the public hearing. (2) A complete copy of the resolution of intention shall be mailed by first class mail, at least 10 days before the public hearing, to each business owner or property owner affected by the proposed modification. (b) The city council shall adopt a resolution of intention which states the proposed modification prior to the public hearing required by this section. The public hearing shall be held not more than 90 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention. 36637. Reflection of modification in notices recorded and maps Any subsequent modification of the resolution shall be reflected in subsequent notices and maps recorded pursuant to Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 3100), in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 36627. CHAPTER 3.5. Financing 36640. Bonds authorized; Procedure; Restriction on reduction or termination of assessments (a)The city council may, by resolution, determine and declare that bonds shall be issued to finance the estimated cost of some or all of the proposed improvements described in the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to Section 36625, if the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to that section provides for the issuance of bonds, under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500)) or in conjunction with Marks -Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 (Article 4 (commencing with Section 6584) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code). Either act, as the case may be, shall govern the proceedings relating to the issuance of bonds, although proceedings under the Bond Act of 1915 may be modified by the city council as necessary to accommodate assessments levied upon business pursuant to this part. (b) The resolution adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall generally describe the proposed improvements specified in the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to Section 36625, set forth the estimated cost of those improvements, specify the number of annual installments and the fiscal years during which they are to be collected. The amount of debt service to retire the bonds shall not exceed the amount of revenue estimated to be raised from assessments over 30 years. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, assessments levied to pay the principal and interest on any bond issued pursuant to this section shall not be reduced or terminated if doing so would interfere with the timely retirement of the debt. CHAPTER 4. Governance 36650. Report by owners' association; Approval or modification by city council (a) The owners' association shall cause to be prepared a report for each fiscal year, except the first year, for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvements, maintenance, and activities described in the report.

The report may propose changes, including, but not limited to, the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or any benefit zones within the district, the basis and method of levying the assessments, and any changes in the classification of property, including any categories of business, if a classification is used. (b) The report shall be filed with the clerk and shall refer to the property and business improvement district by name, specify the fiscal year to which the report applies, and, with respect to that fiscal year, shall contain all of the following information: (1) Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of property or businesses within the district. (2) The improvements, maintenance, and activities to be provided for that fiscal year.

(6) The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

Any modification shall be made pursuant to Sections 36635 and 36636. The city council shall not approve a change in the basis and method of levying assessments that would impair an authorized or executed contract to be paid from the revenues derived from the levy of assessments, including any commitment to pay principal and interest on any bonds issued on behalf of the district. 36651. Designation of owners' association to provide improvements, maintenance, and activities The management district plan may, but is not required to, state that an owners' association will provide the improvements, maintenance, and activities described in the management district plan.

(b) Upon renewal, any remaining revenues derived from the levy of assessments, or any revenues derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, shall be transferred to the renewed district. If the renewed district includes additional parcels or businesses not included in the prior district, the remaining revenues shall be spent to benefit only the parcels or businesses in the prior district. If the renewed district does not include parcels or businesses included in the prior district, the remaining revenues attributable to these parcels shall be refunded to the owners of these parcels or businesses. (c) Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years, or, if the district is authorized to issue bonds, until the maximum maturity of those bonds. There is no requirement that the boundaries, assessments, improvements, or activities of a renewed district be the same as the original or prior district. CHAPTER 6. Disestablishment 36670. Circumstances permitting disestablishment of district; Procedure (a) Any district established or extended pursuant to the provisions of this part, where there is no indebtedness, outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the purposes of the district, may be disestablished by resolution by the city council in either of the following circumstances: (1) If the city council finds there has been misappropriation of funds, malfeasance, or a violation of law in connection with the management of the district, it shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. (2) During the operation of the district, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessees may request disestablishment of the district. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the district and shall continue for 30 days. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the district. Each successive year of operation of the district shall have such a 30-day period. Upon the written petition of the owners or authorized representatives of real property or the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the district who pay 50 percent or more of the assessments levied, the city council shall pass a resolution of intention to disestablish the district.

Refund of remaining revenues upon disestablishment or expiration without renewal of district; Calculation of refund; Use of outstanding revenue collected after disestablishment of district (a) Upon the disestablishment or expiration without renewal of a district, any remaining revenues, after all outstanding debts are paid, derived from the levy of assessments, or derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, or from bond reserve or construction funds, shall be refunded to the owners of the property or businesses then located and operating within the district in which assessments were levied by applying the same method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the district is disestablished or expires. All outstanding assessment revenue collected after disestablishment shall be spent on improvements and activities specified in the management district plan. (b) If the disestablishment occurs before an assessment is levied for the fiscal year, the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the immediate prior fiscal year shall be used to calculate the amount of any refund.

SFPTMD Management District Plan 33 August 14, 2023 Overview In 2001, the Organization established a Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 ('89 Law) and now wishes to convert to a Tourism Marketing District (TMD) under the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 ('94 Law). The organization is moving forward with a Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) transition that will increase its funding above $6 million annually to be available for tourism promotion efforts. The TBID contribution is a significant budget increase for the organization. In developing the proposal for the TBID renewal and the subsequent approval of the lodging industry, the organization staff has prepared a TMD Benefits Proforma to estimate the potential return on investment from the new TBID funds. This staff assessment includes the proposed allocation and use of new funds for different tourism promotion efforts (sales, advertising, public relations, social media, etc.) and the projected return on investment for those funds. Proforma Review The TMD Benefits Proforma review includes a review of the staff proforma to check the assumptions and estimates and make suggestions and recommendations. Scope of Work The following is a review of the proforma developed for the TBID renewal. The analysis was done using the information supplied by The San Francisco Peninsula CVB. Project elements include the following: 1. DEVELOP SMITH TRAVEL RESEARCH TRENDLINE AND ANNUAL GROWTH RATE FOR LODGING REVENUE. DEVELOP MULTI -YEAR FORECAST. DETERMINE THE PROJECTABLE RATE OF GROWTH. • REVIEW STAFF DRAFT PROFORMA, INCLUDING ASSUMPTIONS AND FINAL ESTIMATES. I. COMPARE PROFORMA ESTIMATES WITH TRENDLINE AND ASSESS WITH POTENTIALLY DIFFERENT SCENARIOS (HIGH, MEDIUM, AND LOW ESTIMATES). Limiting Conditions The following analysis and estimates are based on the best information and time available. The results and opinions provided are a guide for consideration, and we do not claim as to the accuracy of the final results. SFPTMD Management District Plan 34 August 14, 2023 Model Development We developed an SF Peninsula Tourism Economic Model to develop lodging revenue and room night projections with the addition of new properties and the potential of Menlo Park Inclusion. The model was developed utilizing the past ten years of monthly lodging data from Smith Travel Research. The model measures a variety of economic activities, including the following: II. LODGING REVENUE PROJECTIONS THROUGH 2O27 III. ROOM NIGHT PROJECTION THROUGH 2O27 IV. TBID REVENUE WITHOUT MENLO PARK V. TBID REVENUE WITH MENLO PARK VI. TBIB REVENUE WITH NEW PROPERTIES VII. TBID REVENUE WITHOUT NEW PROPERTIES. The SF Peninsula Tourism Economic Model can be adjusted to test or consider different scenarios. Model Methodology The future growth of ADR and room nights is using a Bayesian Structural Times Series (BSTS) model, a technique for fitting historical data and forecasting future trends (Scott and Varian, Predicting the Present with Bayesian Structural Time Series 2013). BSTS was chosen for its ability to forecast future trends, including seasonal variation, using robust time series data. In this case, data is available in monthly intervals from July 2012. This model was fit by specifying a semi -local linear trend. Confidence intervals bound a mean forecast to quantify the degree of uncertainty in the future (Scott, Fitting Bayesian structural time series with the bsts R package 2017). Rather than having the pandemic disruption influence the forecasts, only data from July 2012 through December 2019 was taken as input. Revenue is simply forecast as the product of ADR and room nights. Given the fact that the STR reports track all cities in San Mateo County, the revenue forecast is reduced in proportion to the number of room nights in the TMD (15,699/17,190) or 91.3 percent. TMD fee revenue is also forecast in proportion to available rooms, with 42 percent A -level property rooms paying 1.5 percent of gross room revenue. The balance is paid by B-level property rooms at 0.75 percent. Construction of three new B-level properties is underway and will bring 451 rooms online. These rooms are assumed to be available from January 2023. There are 533 A -level property rooms and 338 B-level property rooms in Menlo Park. Potential gross room and TMD fee revenue is forecast on the basis of room count proportionality. Model Assumptions The model forecasts mean values of ADR and room nights along with 2.5 percent confidence intervals. This report is based on mean values. By constructing the model in this manner, we are SFPTMD Management District Plan 35 August 14, 2023 assuming that the conditions supporting ADR and room night growth prior to the pandemic will continue from 2023 forward. Sources of variation include the impact of macroeconomic conditions, actual timing of new construction (planned and unplanned), promotions and policies such as airline crew waivers. Model Limitations The baseline SF Peninsula Tourism Economic Model provides a static look based on a given set of assumptions. Forecasts of future events are inherently uncertain as the recent pandemic reminded us. As noted above, the model can be adjusted to estimate specific scenarios in detail in which case the relative differences generally provide the most value. Findings Table 1 below summarizes Room Nights, Revenue, and Average Daily Rate (ADR) projections.

THE MODEL INCLUDES GROWTH RATE PROJECTIONS FOR EACH OF THOSE CATEGORIES. NOTE THE SIGNIFICANT REVENUE GROWTH PROJECTION IN 2022 AND 2023, AFTER WHICH THE GROWTH SLOWS DOWN INTO A MORE CONSISTENT PATTERN AFTER 2023. (SEE TABLE 1 ABOVE) B. THE TMD BENEFITS PROFORMA DEVELOPED BY STAFF HAS LODGING RATES BETWEEN $200 AND $293, WHICH IS WITHIN ESTIMATES OR THE PROJECTED AVERAGE DAILY RATE OF THE SF PENINSULA TOURISM ECONOMIC MODEL. (SEE TABLE 2) A. REGARDING TBID REVENUE PROJECTION, THE TMD BENEFITS PROFORMA ANTICIPATES TBID REVENUE OF APPROXIMATELY $6M. BASED ON THE SF PENINSULA TOURISM ECONOMIC MODEL'S ASSUMPTIONS, TBID COLLECTIONS COULD BE HIGHER STARTING IN 2022 (APPROXIMATELY $8M). (SEE TABLE 2) B. THE MODEL CONSIDERS THE NEW CONSTRUCTION OF HOTELS (451 UNITS) WHICH INCREASES THE POTENTIAL TBID REVENUE GENERATION BY APPROXIMATELY $207,000. (SEE TABLE 2) C. ADDITIONALLY, THE MODEL CONSIDERS THE POTENTIAL ADDITION OF MENLO PARK HOTELS BEING A PART OF THE TBID. THE ADDITION OF MENLO PARK HOTELS WOULD INCREASE TBID CONTRIBUTIONS BY APPROXIMATELY $638,000 STARTING IN 2023.

Establishing Chapter. 6.55, "San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District," of Title 6 of the Burlingame Municipal Code. Chapter 6.55, "San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District," of Title 6 of the Burlingame City Code is hereby established to read as follows: 6.55. 010. Establishment. The City of Burlingame hereby creates the San Francisco Peninsula Tourism Marketing District (SFPTMD), for a five (5) year life, beginning January 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter, and end five (5) years from its start date, under the provisions of the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, as set forth in the Streets and Highways Code of the state, Section 36600 et seq. 6.55.020. Management District Plan. The Management District Plan (Plan) dated August 14, 2023 is hereby adopted and approved. 6.55.030. Activities and Improvements; Findings. The activities to be provided to benefit lodging businesses in the SFPTMD will be funded by the levy of the assessment. The revenue from the assessment levy shall not be used: to provide activities that directly benefit businesses outside the SFPTMD; to provide activities or improvements outside the SFPTMD; or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in this Ordinance, the Resolution of Intention, the Resolution of Formation, and the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the SFPTMD boundaries to create a specific benefit to the assessed lodging businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the SFPTMD. 1. The City Council finds as follows: a. The activities funded by the assessment will provide a specific benefit to assessed lodging businesses within the SFPTMD that is not provided to those not paying the assessment. b. The assessment is a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege. c. The assessment is a charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product. d. Assessments imposed pursuant to the SFPTMD are levied solely upon the assessed lodging business, and the lodging business owner is solely responsible for payment of the assessment when due. If the owner chooses to collect any portion of the assessment from a transient or customer, that portion shall be specifically called out and identified for the transient or customer in any and all communications from the business owner as the "SFPTMD Assessment" or "Tourism Assessment" as specified in the Plan. 2. The assessments levied for the SFPTMD shall be applied toward sales and marketing programs, and other improvements and activities as set forth in the Plan. 3. Assessments levied on lodging businesses pursuant to this Ordinance shall be levied on the basis of benefit. Because the services provided are intended to increase room rentals, an assessment based on gross short term sleeping room rental revenue is the best measure of benefit. 6.55. 040. Reserved. 6.55.050. Bonds. Bonds shall not be issued to fund the SFPTMD. 6.55.060. Boundaries. The established SFPTMD includes all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and the unincorporated area of San Mateo County, as described in the Plan. 6.55.070. Assessments. The annual assessment rate is one- and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue for lodging businesses with 5,000 square feet or more of dedicated meeting space, and 0.75% for all other lodging businesses within the SFPTMD's boundaries. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays provided to airline cockpit and/or cabin crews pursuant to an agreement between a hotel and an airline, which is in furtherance of or to facilitate such crews' performance of their jobs for the airline, including layovers between flights; employees of the state or federal government if room charges are paid directly by their employing agency and copies of official travel orders are submitted as applicable; and any properly credentialed officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty. The assessments shall be used for the purposes set forth herein and any funds remaining at the end of any year may be used in subsequent years in which the SFPTMD assessment is levied as long as they are used consistent with the requirements set forth herein. 6.55.080. Collections. The City of Burlingame shall be responsible for collecting the assessments on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the SFPTMD. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. 6.55.090. Owners' Association. The Council through adoption of this Ordinance and the Plan, has the right pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners' Association of the SFPTMD as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The City Council has determined that SFP shall be the SFPTMD Owners' Association. Pursuant to the Plan, SFP shall create a SFPTMD Committee tasked with determining how SFPTMD funds are spent, within the designated programs in the Plan, subject to final approval by the SFP Board. The SFPTMD Committee shall include lodging business owners or representatives paying the SFPTMD assessment. Passage of this Ordinance authorizes the City Council to contract with SFP to administer the SFPTMD. 6.55.100. Annual Report. SFP, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650, shall cause to be prepared a report for each fiscal year, except the first year, for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvement and activities described in the report. The first report shall be due after the first year of operation of the SFPTMD. 6.55.110. Amendments to Enabling Legislation. The SFPTMD formed pursuant to this Ordinance shall be subject to any amendments to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code §36600 et. seq.). Section 2. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, unlawful or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The Council of the City of Burlingame declares that it would have passed and adopted this Ordinance and each and all provisions irrespective of the fact that any one or more of said provisions may be declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to any such decision or preemptive legislation. Section 3. CEQA Determination. The City Council finds and determines this Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, either directly or ultimately. In the event that this Ordinance is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment. Section 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance of the City of Burlingame shall be effective thirty (30) days after its passage, this Ordinance or a summary thereof, as provided in Government Code Section 36933, shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Burlingame, along with the names of the Council voting for and against its passage. Section 5. Publication. The City Clerk is directed to publish this Ordinance in a manner as required by law. Section 6. Codification. Section 1 of this Ordinance shall be codified in the Burlingame Municipal Code. Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 shall not be so codified. I, MEAGHAN HASSEL-SHEARER, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame, certify that the foregoing ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 21 st day of August 2023, and PASSED and APPROVED on the th day of 2023, by the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAINING ATTEST: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Meaghan Hassel - Shearer, City Clerk RESOLUTION NO.

The SFPTMD is hereby established for a five (5) year life, beginning January 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five (5) years from its start date. 3. The Plan dated August 14, 2023 is hereby adopted and approved. 4. The activities to be provided to benefit lodging businesses in the SFPTMD will be funded by the levy of the assessment. The revenue from the assessment levy shall not be used: to provide activities that directly benefit businesses outside the SFPTMD; to provide activities or improvements outside the SFPTMD; or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in this Resolution, the Resolution of Intention, and the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the SFPTMD boundaries to create a specific benefit to the assessed lodging businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the SFPTMD. 5. The City Council determines and finds as follows: a) The activities funded by the assessment will provide a specific benefit to assessed lodging businesses within the SFPTMD that is not provided to those not paying the assessment. 2 b) The assessment is a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege. c) The assessment is a charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product. d) Assessments imposed pursuant to the SFPTMD are levied solely upon the assessed lodging business, and the lodging business owner is solely responsible for payment of the assessment when due. If the owner chooses to collect any portion of the assessment from a transient, that portion shall be specifically called out and identified for the transient in any and all communications from the business owner as the "SFPTMD Assessment" or "Tourism Assessment" as specified in the Plan. 6. The assessments levied for the SFPTMD shall be applied towards sales, marketing, and advocacy programs to market San Francisco Peninsula lodging businesses as tourist, meeting and event destinations, and other improvements and activities as set forth in the Plan. 7. Assessments levied on lodging businesses pursuant to this resolution shall be levied on the basis of benefit. Because the services provided are intended to increase sleeping room rentals, an assessment based on gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue is the best measure of benefit. 8. The assessments for the entire SFPTMD will total approximately $10,336,711 in year one (1). 9. Bonds shall not be issued to fund the SFPTMD. 10. The SFPTMD shall include all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, located within the boundaries of the cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and the unincorporated area of San Mateo County. A boundary map is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 11. The assessments shall be used for the purposes set forth above and any funds remaining at the end of any year may be used in subsequent years in which the SFPTMD assessment is levied as long as they are used consistent with the requirements set forth herein. 12. The assessments to fund the activities and improvements for the SFPTMD will be collected by the City of Burlingame on a monthly basis, and in accordance with Streets and Highways Code §36631. 13. The City Council, through adoption of this Resolution and the Plan, has the right pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners' Association of the SFPTMD as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The City Council has determined that San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau dba The San Francisco Peninsula (SFP) shall be the SFPTMD Owners' Association. 14. SFP, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650, shall cause to be prepared a report for each fiscal year, except the first year, for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvement and activities described in the report. The first report shall be due after the first year of operation of the SFPTMD. 15. The SFPTMD established pursuant to this resolution will be subject to any amendments to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code §36600 et. seq.). 16. The City Clerk, or his or her designee, is directed to take all necessary actions to complete the establishment of the SFPTMD and to levy the assessments. 17. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 36625 of the 94 Law, the City Council finds and determines as follows: a) The activities funded by the assessment will provide a specific benefit to assessed lodging businesses within the SFPTMD that is not provided to those not paying the assessment, including marketing and promotion of the businesses within the district. The assessments levied for the SFPTMD shall be applied towards sales, marketing, and advocacy programs to market San Francisco Peninsula lodging businesses as tourist, meeting and event destinations, and other improvements and activities as set forth in the Plan. The assessment will be levied on businesses withing the district, and bonds shall not be issued. The exterior boundaries of the district shall be as depicted on Boundary Map attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. b) The number, date of adoption, and title of this Resolution of Intention is as provided herein. c) The public hearing concerning the establishment of the district was held on June 20, 2023, August 21, 2023, and September 5, 2023, each at 7:00 p.m. at the City of Burlingame Council Chambers, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, California. d) The City Council determines that after the conclusion of the public hearing, there was no majority protest received. e) The SFPTMD established pursuant to this Resolution will be subject to any amendments to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code §36600 et. seq. f) The activities to be provided to benefit lodging businesses in the SFPTMD will be funded by the levy of the assessment. The revenue from the assessment levy shall not be used: to provide activities that directly benefit businesses outside the SFPTMD; to provide activities or improvements outside the SFPTMD; or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in this Resolution, the Resolution of Intention, and the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the SFPTMD boundaries to create a specific benefit to the assessed lodging businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the SFPTMD. g) The businesses within the SFPTMD will be benefited by the improvements, maintenance, and activities funded by the proposed assessments. 18. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council.

Staff then recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolutions in the following order: 1. Resolution of the City Council of the City of Burlingame to Adopt an Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in Accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and 2. Resolution of the City Council of the City of Burlingame to Adopt the North Rollins Specific Plan. BACKGROUND In January 2019 the City Council adopted a comprehensive update of the Burlingame General Plan (Resolution Nos. 005-2019, 006-2019). The General Plan includes the following Goal: Goal CC-12: Recreate Rollins Road as two distinct but complementary districts, with the southern two-thirds of the corridor supporting industrial and creative business enterprises and the northern one-third of the corridor reimagined as a live/work complete residential neighborhood — with parks, tree -lined streets, and a pedestrian orientation — that connects to the Millbrae multimodal transit station. The City has embarked on creating a new specific plan that will implement this General Plan Policy for the northern portion of the Rollins Road corridor. The area is within easy walking distance to the Millbrae multi -modal transit station (within one -quarter mile of the Plan Area boundary), and presents an opportunity to establish a new neighborhood of medium- and high -density residential and creative live/work units and support uses. The City envisions creation of a completely new neighborhood, where residents and creative businesses have ready access to transit, supportive commercial businesses, and public and private 1 North Rollins Specific Plan September 5, 2023 open space amenities. Such housing will include workforce housing, thus meeting the needs of all income levels in Burlingame. Streetscape improvements within the new neighborhood will emphasize a pedestrian and bicycle focus, while still accommodating industrial related traffic through to Millbrae Avenue. Sustainability will be emphasized through such strategies as Net Zero and/or all -electric development projects. The Specific Plan has evaluated the capacity of the existing roadway network, traffic circulation needs, parking needs, water, wastewater and stormwater systems requirements in order to meet the needs of proposed development, and make recommendations accordingly. The Planning Commission reviewed a Public Review Draft of the Specific Plan on November 14, 2022, and the City Council reviewed the draft on December 5, 2022. The plan has been revised to reflect input from the Commission and Council. DISCUSSION A team led by the architecture and planning firm KTGY, and including Gates + Associates landscape architects, Kimley Horn engineering, and Rincon Consultants environmental planners has been preparing the Specific Plan. A project website has been established at https://www.northrollinsspecificplan.com. Input for the plan has been through a variety of means: • The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was comprised of representatives from a variety of perspectives including local businesses, transportation, planning, housing, parks, City Council members (Vice Mayor Colson and former Councilmember O'Brien Keighran), and the chairs of each commission. There have been three CAC meetings during the process. In the most recent meeting, the CAC reviewed a preliminary draft of the Specific Plan and provided feedback to the project team. • The Technical Advisory Committee JAC) was comprised of city staff and is providing insights and guidance to the project regarding existing city policies, standards, and potential opportunities or challenges related to the project based on their areas of experience. • The Planning Commission provided input during study sessions on September 28, 2020, February 8, 2021, and November 14, 2022. • The City Council provided input during study sessions on December 6, 2021 and December 5, 2022. • Two virtual Community Meetings were held to receive input from the greater community. Specific Plan Obiectives. The Specific Plan is designed to implement a series of realistic and achievable project objectives that will help ensure that the area develops as a high -quality mixed - use neighborhood. These objectives are: • Create a land use framework that allows for the North Rollins Road area to be reimagined 2 North Rollins Specific Plan September 5, 2023 as a medium- and high -density mixed -use neighborhood, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. • Preserve the Plan Area's industrial and unique identity while allowing for new types of development to occur. • Implement infill development on underutilized parcels within the Rollins Road area, consistent with the goals and policies of the Housing Element. • Maximize access to transit by promoting development near the Millbrae Transit Center. • Create a "sense of place" through attractive streetscapes unique to the Plan Area. • Re -allocate and improve public rights -of -way to safely accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, and delivery trucks. • Ensure future development activates northern Rollins Road. • Support emerging business by establishing flexible zoning regulations that allow creative art and design -oriented uses and green -tech commercial and industrial uses. • Utilize a planning process that is driven by the needs and desires of the community. • Prepare specific provisions tailored to the unique conditions of the North Rollins Road area. Elements of the Specific Plan. Based on input from the CAC, TAC, Planning Commission, and community meetings, the project team has developed a draft plan that includes concepts for urban form, open spaces, streetscapes, and community amenities for the North Rollins Road neighborhood. Some of the notable features of the plan include: • Open Space Plan. The plan lays out an open space network that weaves together a mix of private, common, and public open spaces to create a singular, unified open space experience. This includes paseos, plazas, pocket parks, trails, and a linear park. To further ensure the development of open space, the plan calls for larger projects (site area of 50,000 square feet or greater) to include as a community benefit a community park/open space consisting of at least 12 percent of the site area (beyond the residential development contribution requirements and private open space requirements). • Streetscapes. The plan provides streetscape design guidelines and standard that include continuous sidewalks, bike lanes, and planter strips with street trees. The streetscapes are intended to be "complete streets" that accommodate multiple modes of travel, and also function as linear open spaces. • Design Guidelines. Design guidelines are provided to assist applicants in understanding the vision and priorities of the neighborhood. An important distinction is that they are intended to provide design direction, but for housing developments are not regulatory in the manner of objective design standards. • Objective Design Standards. Objective design standards are measurable and enforceable regulations that apply to all multi -unit residential and mixed -use development in the Plan Area. These projects are subject to the Housing Accountability Act (HAA), and will be evaluated based on their compliance with the objective design standards. 3 North Rollins Specific Plan September 5, 2023 Community Benefits. Projects with greater residential densities, commercial intensities, and building heights are required to provide community benefits commensurate with the increased development capacity. Like other zoning districts in Burlingame, the provision of greater development capacity is organized into a tiered development standard framework, with additional community benefits required to qualify for the greater densities and intensities (refer to Table 5.2 on pages 5-23 through 5.24 of the Specific Plan). Benefits listed in the plan include: - Publicly accessible park space - Paseo enhancements - Large public plazas beyond the minimum requirement - Trail improvements - Off -site streetscape improvements - Cultural arts space - Public parking facilities - Community or neighborhood center - Ground -floor retail space - Grocery store - Greater proportion of affordable housing than ordinarily required - Additional public art beyond minimum requirement - Near zero net energy - Net zero water use - Flexible benefit (to respond to unique site opportunities) A significant change in the current draft of the plan is to assign point values to community benefits. This is in response to input from the Planning Commission and the City Council expressing concern that some community benefits have greater value than others, and should be recognized as such. Table 5.3 on page 5-28 in the Specific Plan indicates the points assigned to the various community benefits. The consultant team tested the point system against previously approved development projects in the Rollins Road Mixed Use area to ensure the system functions as intended and provides the outcomes desired. Importantly, larger higher density projects with site areas 50,000 square feet (1.15 acres) or greater are required to provide a publicly accessible park space comprised of at least 12 percent of the site area. The 12 percent figure was based on an assessment of prior development projects in the Rollins Road area that have included publicly accessible park space. The park space is allowed to be counted as a community benefit, but is a requirement in recognition that new park space is needed to support higher density developments. Additional community benefit points can be obtained if the park area is greater still. C North Rollins Specific Plan September 5, 2023 Environmental Review. The North Rollins Specific Plan (Specific Plan) is an implementation of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan (General Plan). An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse [SCH] #2017082018) was prepared for the General Plan that evaluated the long- range and cumulative environmental impacts associated with projected development if the city, including the Specific Plan area. The Final EIR for the General Plan was certified on January 7, 2019 (Resolution No. 005-2019). As outlined in Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, a Lead Agency shall prepare an Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a Subsequent EIR have occurred. Rincon Consultants, Inc. has prepared and addendum to the General Plan EIR (the "Addendum") in accordance with Sections 15162 and 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines. While the Specific Plan is largely consistent with the land use assumptions of the General Plan, the Specific Plan modifies the allowed intensity within the General Plan by reducing the allowed office and industrial uses to provide the opportunity for more multi -family residential units. Specifically, the proposed project would reduce the allowed intensity of office use from 174,083 square -feet to 50,083 square -feet and reduce the allowed intensity of industrial use from 696,331 square -feet to 591,217 square -feet. Further, the proposed project increases the allowed residential intensity from 1,199 multifamily units to 1,557 multifamily units. These changes would result in a net increase of 358 multifamily residential units from what was analyzed in the 2040 General Plan EIR. The intent is to encourage additional residential uses to further the objective of creating a mixed use residential neighborhood. Furthermore, the adjustment recognizes that while residential uses are intended to coexist with industrial uses, the demand for expanding industrial uses has been minimal in recent years. Table 1, below, illustrates the proposed changes in square footage and new intensity under the proposed project. Table 1 Development Analyzed in General Plan EIR and Proposed Specific Plan ... Land Use Description Plan Change Projec. Multi -family (dwelling unit) 1,199 358 1,557 Industrial (square feet) 696,331 (105,114) 591,217 Office (square feet) 174,083 (124,000) 50,083 Commercial (square feet) 139,266 - 139,266 The Addendum has determined that the proposed Specific Plan is substantially similar to the City of Burlingame's previously approved 2040 General Plan discussed and analyzed in the 2040 General Plan Final EIR. The minor modifications between the approved 2040 General Plan and the proposed Specific Plan would not introduce new significant environmental impacts beyond those which have already been identified and characterized in the approved 2040 General Plan Final EIR. In particular, the Specific Plan does not trigger any of the conditions specified in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, and therefore pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City Council as Lead Agency may adopt an Addendum to the General Plan EIR for the Specific Plan. 5 North Rollins Specific Plan September 5, 2023 Plannin_p Commission Recommendation. At its meeting on August 28, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the North Rollins Specific Plan and EIR Addendum to the City Council. Commissioners noted that suggestions from their prior review were incorporated into the plan, and did not have further changes to recommend. FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct fiscal impact from adoption of the Specific Plan. In the future, there will be revenues from property taxes and sales taxes generated by new development and businesses. New development is subject to development impact fees. The impact fees will be collected to fund infrastructure improvements, school facilities, and for new commercial development fund affordable housing.

It will be implemented within the City of Burlingame, California as depicted on Exhibit 1.1, Regional Location. The North Rollins Specific Plan envisions the Plan Area will be developed into a dynamic, vibrant, intergenerational, and eclectic mixed -use neighborhood, with great connectivity to the Millbrae Transit Center as well as within the neighborhood itself. The scope of the Specific Plan includes regulations for beautification, design standards, bicycle and pedestrian mobility, green infrastructure, and Li Accommodate increased housing density along with other transit supportive uses and improvements in the North Rollins Road area Improvement of motorized, non -motorized, and transit connectivity between the Millbrae station and existing and future adjacent commercial, industrial, and residential uses policies for green buildings. The document also provides direction for improvements in the public realm, as well as an approach to providing open spaces and public plazas throughout the Plan Area within the private realm. The Specific Plan is designed with flexibility, considering changes in the economy may alter demand for mixed -use, residential, commercial, and industrial development over time. The Specific Plan is an implementation tool that: • Establishes the circulation framework of a walkable district that concentrates land uses, promotes multi -modal transportation, and creates a strong sense of neighborhood identity. Development and implementation of urban design standards which promote a walkable and livable environment within the project area Development of a strategy for providing open space amenities within the project area Images from initial outreach efforts used to determine goals and priorities for the Specific Plan Area. Image depicts project principles for the Specific Plan. Source: Gates and Associates. • Establishes development standards for a range of permitted mixed -use, residential, commercial, open spaces and industrial uses. • Assures appropriate financing for community facilities, including circulation and streetscape improvements, domestic water, recycled water, urban runoff and drainage facilities, and sewage disposal. • Ensures the plan is economically feasible and can be implemented based on existing and anticipated future economic conditions. The North Rollins Specific Plan is consistent with the applicable goals and policies of the City of Burlingame General Plan. The Design Guidelines and Objective Design Standards contained in this document will assist in creating a consistent urban form and landscape character for private and public development within the Plan Area. The Development Regulations will establish permitted uses, site development standards and general development criteria and requirements. The provisions and regulations contained in the Specific Plan shall apply to the North Rollins Specific Plan area and shall prevail in instances of conflict with the provisions and regulations of the Burlingame Municipal Code (BMC) that regulate the same subject matter. Where the Specific Plan is silent on an issue, the goals, objectives and implementing actions contained in the Burlingame Municipal Code shall prevail, and the standards in the BMC or other applicable city, state, or federal code that regulate the same issue shall apply. 1.1.1 Project Vision The Specific Plan was prepared in accordance with the City's vision and addresses the suggestions and concerns that were raised during the outreach process by major stakeholders, advisory committees, and the general public. The primary Project vision and objectives for the North Rollins Specific Plan are: • Implementation of the "Envision Burlingame" initiatives within the 2019 General Plan update to accommodate increased housing density along with other transit supportive uses and improvements in the north Rollins Road area. • Creation of a new neighborhood within Burlingame, where residents and creative businesses have ready access to transit, supportive commercial businesses, diversity of housing, and public and private open space amenities. • Enhance the economic climate of Burlingame and the North Rollins District through attracting new businesses. • Improvement of motorized, non -motorized, and transit connectivity between the Millbrae Transit Center and existing and future adjacent commercial, industrial, and residential uses. • Development and implementation of urban design standards which promote a walkable and livable environment within the project area. Development of a strategy for providing open space amenities within the project area. • Engagement with the community to inform the public about transit -oriented design concepts and the Specific Plan process through a stakeholder and community involvement strategy. • Development of incentives or standards to promote state-of-the-art green building practices. Wide expanses of asphalt and pavement characterize the Plan Area Many long-standing industrial uses, such as See's Candies, exist from the area's initial industrial subdivision. Large setbacks and disjointed landscaping detract from a cohesive pedestrian experience. 1.2 Plan Area Location The North Rollins Specific Plan area is approximately 88.8 acres located in the most northern portion of the City of Burlingame, bordering the City of Millbrae. Regional access to the site is depicted on Exhibit 1.1, Regional Location, and is available via the adjacent US Route 101 to the northeast and via State Route 82 (El Camino Real) to the southwest. Interstate 280 is located approximately 1.3 miles southwest of the project, and the Millbrae Transit Center is located approximately one -quarter mile to the northwest of the Plan Area boundary. The Plan Area extents are depicted on Exhibit 1.2, Local Context, and is located approximately one -quarter mile south of the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The entirety of the Plan Area is affected by airport land use compatibility zones and is required to comply with applicable regulations and development standards of the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport. Prior to the 2019 adoption of the Rollins Road Mixed -Use zoning for the project area, the Plan Area was located within the North Burlingame/ Rollins Road Specific Plan adopted in 2004 and last amended in 2007. \ - — t Daly <��r City !i'4I I South r San Francisco � \ >i n n i / I ii I l Pacific °� Half Ocean �\ Moon Bay IL San I I San Francisco � l International \\ Airport \ San Francisco Bay Millbrae ! \ Specific Plan Area Unincorporated San Mateo County 1 � San Specific Plan Area Exhibit 1.1 - Regional Location N.T.S.

These outreach efforts are detailed in Chapter Z Planning Context. As a result of this interactive process, a consensus for the focus areas concept was developed for a carefully designed, well -planned mixed -use district that will evolve overtime and maximize the benefits of its urban amenities, while preserving the unique character of the North Rollins area. The Specific Plan is designed to create a mixed - use district within the City of Burlingame that is cohesive in urban form. Design approaches incorporate "place -making' principles into a pedestrian -friendly streetscape that connects commercial and office uses, residential areas, parks, lifestyle areas, walkways, and transit opportunities within a single mixed -use district, while preserving vehicular access through the site. The Specific Plan will also include a unifying landscape and streetscaping theme that emphasizes the pedestrian and cyclist experience and establishes a distinct identity for the North Rollins area. The Specific Plan encourages an environmentally conscious ("green") development approach to provide for a sustainable community. New development and redevelopment will be encouraged to incorporate materials and features that reduce energy and water consumption needs and minimize the impacts associated with development on the environment. 1.4 Discretionary Actions and Approvals The City of Burlingame is the Lead Agency for purposes of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance and has prepared and made the appropriate environmental determination to consider the following discretionary actions. These actions are required to implement the Specific Plan: • Zone Change: An approval of a Zone Change will be necessary to change the zoning of the entire district from the current "Rollins Road Mixed -Use" (RRMU) to "North Rollins Specific Plan" (NRSP). • Specific Plan Approval: The North Rollins Specific Plan has been prepared to realize the objectives of the proposed district as defined herein. The above entitlements will require approval by the Burlingame City Council. The El Portal Channel runs along the northern edge of the Plan Area. 1.5 Authority and Format of the Specific Plan The State of California Legislature has established the authority and scope to prepare and implement specific plans. The State requires that all cities and counties in California prepare and adopt a comprehensive general plan for the physical development of their areas of jurisdiction. To implement the policies described in the general plan, regulating programs are adopted (e.g., zoning ordinances, subdivision ordinances, building and housing codes, etc.). California State law authorizes cities with complete general plans to prepare and adopt specific plans (Government Code Section 65450 - 65457). Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their jurisdiction as areas for which a specific plan is "necessary or convenient" (Government Code Section 65451). Specific plans are intended to serve as bridges between the local general plan and individual development proposal for a specific area. Specific plans contain both planning policies and regulations, and may combine zoning regulations, capital improvement programs, and other regulating requirements into one document. The North Rollins Specific Plan has been created through the authority granted to the City of Burlingame by the California Government Code, Sections 65450 through 65453, This Specific Plan has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the California Government Code, which stipulate that a specific plan contain text and diagrams specifying the following: • Land Use: The specific plan must specify the distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan. This discussion is included in Section 3.Z Land Use Plan, of this Specific Plan. • Public Facilities: The specific plan must show the proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, wastewater, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities located within the area covered by the plan, and needed to support the land uses described in the plan. This discussion is included in Section 3.3, Circulation Plan, and Section 3.4 Infrastructure Plan, in this Specific Plan. • Development Standards: The specific plan must include standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. This discussion is contained in Chapter 5, Development Standards, in the Specific Plan. • Implementation Measures: The specific plan must include a program of implementation measures, including regulations, programs, and financing measures. A discussion of these topics is included throughout Chapter 6, Implementation, in this Specific Plan. • General Plan Consistency. The specific plan must include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan. Chapter 2, Planning Context analyzes the Specific Plan in comparison to the Envision Burlingame General Plan. • Optional Contents: The specific plan may address any other subject that, in the judgement of the planning agency, is necessary or desirable for implementation of the general plan. Community building, landscape, architectural, and sustainable design guidelines are in Chapter4, Design Guidelines of this Specific Plan. Chapter 2 - Planning Context 2.1 Relationship to Other Regulatory Documents As required by State Law, this Specific Plan is consistent with the applicable goals and policies contained within the adopted City of Burlingame General Plan. This Specific Plan serves as the zoning for the Specific Plan area and provides additional policy guidance. 2.1.1 City of Burlingame General Plan The City of Burlingame adopted the "Envision Burlingame" General Plan in January 2019. As depicted in Exhibit 2.1, General Plan Land Use Designation, the Specific Plan Area is designated as "Live/Work" by the General Plan. The Specific Plan is consistent with the Live/Work designation. 2.1.2 City of Burlingame Zoning Code The City's current zoning for the Specific Plan area is the Rollins Road Mixed -Use Zone (RRMU). A Zone Change is required to adopt the Specific Plan. As such, the zoning of the site would change to from "Rollins Road Mixed -Use" (RRMU) to "The North Rollins Specific Plan" (NRSP) (see Exhibits 2.Z Existing Zoning Designation and Exhibit 2.3, Proposed Zoning Designation). 2.1.3 Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan The ALUCP for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport specifies how land near airports is to be used, based on safety and noise considerations. As depicted on Exhibit 2.4, Opportunities and Challenges, a small portion of the northeast Plan Area is located within Airport Safety Compatibility Zone 2, Inner Approach/ Departure Zone, with the remainder of the Plan Area located within Zone 3, Inner Turning Zone. Land uses and standards proposed by local governments in compatibility zones must be consistent with an adopted ALUCP. The policies and regulations established by this Specific Plan do not conflict with airport land use compatibility criteria of the ALUCP for SFO, as updated in 2012. 4P /, 1 Legend Low Density Residential -a Medium Density Residential Medium/High Density Res.

I Source: City of Burlingame (!) 2.2 Project Context 2.2.1 Historical Context According to the City of Burlingame Historical Society, North Rollins Road and the surrounding area once belonged to the Buri Buri Rancho of Jose Antonio Sanchez. In 1843, Sanchez's son Jose de la Cruz Sanchez inherited that portion of the rancho upon his father's death. Due to financial problems, Jose de la Cruz Sanchez lost the property which was then bought around 1860 by Darius Ogden Mills (D.O. Mills) and his wife. The Mills family built a mansion home on the property that was used as a vacation retreat by the Mills family for three generations until the 1950s. The heirs of D.O. Mills sold the property to Trousdale Development and in 1954 the property was divided between the cities of Burlingame and Millbrae for annexation. The area between Mills Creek to what is now Murchison Drive became part of Burlingame and the area north of Murchison to Millbrae Avenue became a part of Millbrae. A 1950's pamphlet from the Burlingame Chamber of Commerce advertised the Millsdale Industrial Park to be an ideal location for businesses with its central location to San Francisco International Airport and access to adjacent rail and freeways. Specific industrial park design standards such as generous setbacks, off-street parking and loading, and individual tenant build to suit were touted to attract prospective tenants. Today, North Rollins Road and South Rollins Road carry the Millsdale Industrial Park legacy with some of the original tenants, such as Guittard Chocolate, still in operation. - MILLS ESTATE COMMERCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL AREA 11 nYi Vie.. �.A.i 4 i.... ei i[.

In 2004, The North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan was adopted to implement land uses and streetscaping improvements that would revitalize the district and bolster the industrial and commercial vitality of the area. In January 2019, an update to the Burlingame General Plan ("Envision Burlingame") redesignated the North Rollins area as "Live/ work." To ensure compatibility with the general plan, the RRMU interim zone was adopted via an urgency ordinance to allow for a mixed -use industrial, commercial, and residential district to occur, consistent with the general plan. In 2020, the RRMU interim ordinance was modified for consistency with the SFO ALUCP and adopted on a permanent basis by the City Council. The stated purpose of the North Rollins Road Mixed -Use Zone is to implement the General Plan Live/Work land use designation by creating and sustaining a new neighborhood of creative live/work units and developments, support small-scale commercial businesses, and other employment uses within easy walking distance to the Millbrae Transit Center. Long-established industrial uses are permitted to remain as conforming uses, provided they comply with all applicable standards and operational conditions The RRMU zone reimagines the Plan Area as a district that better serves both residents and businesses within Burlingame, creating an economically vibrant mixed -use neighborhood that can adapt to the market conditions of the present, and evolve over time as demand changes over time while retaining its industrial character. However, due to the unique combination of public outreach, design guidelines, regulatory guidance and implementation strategies needed to implement this concept, the standards found within the RRMU zone are insufficient to enact this vision. The North Rollins Specific Plan is designed to implement these goals and provide the flexibility necessary for the Plan Area to change over time, while retaining the industrial character of the area. 2.2.2 Opportunities and Challenges The Specific Plan area includes multiple contextual factors that influence the project's redevelopment. These influences are shown on Exhibit2.4, and are described below: • Noisy edges along Highway 101, bordering the northeastern boundary of the Specific Plan area, and the railroad tracks bordering the southwestern boundary of the Specific Plan area. • The North Rollins Road right-of-way, which bisects the Specific Plan area. • Proximity to transit opportunities located at the Millbrae Transit Center, with stops from Caltrain and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) lines. • The Pacific Gas and Electric utility line corridor and storm drainage easement area that parallels Rollins Road. • Underutilized parcels within the plan area that present an opportunity for redevelopment. • Existing industrial uses that may remain after Specific Plan adoption. • Distant views of the surrounding mountains to the northeast and southwest. brae 101 o, "d� v r ing qj Legend ---; Project Area ® Eucalyptus Windrows O Future Open Space ■ ■ ■ Noisy Edges r El Portal Channel Crosswalk Rollins Road Millbrae Transit Center Opportunity Right -of -Way Viewsheds Q Gateway Opportunities Utility Lines 94 v■■ ■ ■ ■ v■■ ■v■vvv �ay O/Q, 6dysh or Py�h ALUCP Zone 2 ALUCP Zone 3 0 Q N.T.S.

Utilities poles and fire hydrants compete for space in the public sidewalk along Rollins Road in front of 1755 Rollins Road. 2.3 Existing Site Conditions and Setting 2.3.1 Physical Setting The existing physical setting of the Plan Area is predominantly hardscape, mostly devoted to surface parking lots, loading areas, and driveways. The Rollins Road right-of-way consists of a curb -adjacent sidewalk punctuated with multiple curb cuts and utility poles, with poles sometimes located in the middle of the sidewalk. Many of the trees and landscape exist in the front setbacks along Rollins Road. The existing specific plan specifies Red Oaks and Red Maples for new street trees, but they are only planted when properties are redeveloped. Along Adrian Road, similar setback and landscape conditions occur. The relationship between the lack of landscape within the public realm and the auto- and truck - oriented design of the area is notable. 2.3.2 Existing Circulation Roadway Circulation Roadways within the Plan Area are classified in the General Plan as Mixed -Use Arterial, Mixed -Use Collector, and Mixed -Use Access. These roadway classifications provide access and mobility for multiple modes and prioritizes walking and biking when possible. Table 2.1 — Roadway Classifications, below depicts roadway classifications within the Plan Area. Bicycle Facilities Within the Plan Area, bicycle facilities are located along Rollins Road. There is a Class II bike lane in the southbound direction, south of Broderick Road. There are Class III shared bike lanes in the northbound direction and in the Large street setbacks throughout the Plan Area lend the district a vehicular scale and inhibit walkability. Large swaths of paved area with minimal landscaping dominate the pedestrian experience within the Plan Area. 1755 Rollins Road - long curb cut through sidewalk for trucks and loading. southbound direction, north of Broderick Road. Class II bikeways are bike lanes that are reserved for bicycles on a street or roadway, striping is used to delineate the rights -of -way assigned to motorists and bikes. Class III bikeways are routes shared by bicycles and motorists and are identified by signs or pavement marking symbols. Pedestrian Facilities There are existing continuous sidewalks along both sides of Rollins Road and along the west side of Adrian Road within the Plan Area. There are discontinuous sidewalks along Adrian Court, Broderick Road, Guittard Road, and Ingold Road. Currently, there are no marked crosswalks for pedestrians. The nearest signalized pedestrian crosswalk is located at the intersection of Rollins Road and Adrian Road, approximately 270 feet north of the Plan Area. 2.3.3 Transit Access Exhibit 2.5, Regional Access, depicts transit access to the Specific Plan area. Access to a variety of transit opportunities reduces dependency on vehicle trips which can reduce traffic congestion, increase access to and from the Plan Area and have a positive effect on the environment. There is limited transit service within the Plan Area. However, the Millbrae Transit Center is located approximately 1,100 feet north and provides access to Caltrain, BART, San Mateo Country Transit (SamTrans), and local community shuttle services. Caltrain Caltrain is a commuter rail line that provides service to the San Francisco Peninsula and Santa Clara Valley. The northern terminus of the line is View of Millbrae Transit Center. A SamTrans shuttle and southbound CalTrain are visible in the foreground. Author via Wikipedia: Pi.1415926535, Title: Millbrae Station, CC BY -SA 3.0.

Caltrain provides regular service to 28 stops along this route. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) BART provides public transportation for the San Francisco Peninsula, San Jose, and East Bay areas. The Richmond -Daily City/Millbrae Line (red line), Antioch -San Francisco Airport/Millbrae (yellow line), and Millbrae -San Francisco Airport (purple line) serve the Millbrae Transit Center. BART provides services seven days a week. San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans) SamTrans provides bus service throughout San Mateo county and San Francisco Peninsula area. SamTrans routes 38, 397, and SFO stop at Millbrae Transit Center. Sam Trans route ECR is accessible a short walking distance from the Millbrae Transit Center. Many of these routes operate seven days a week. Local Community Shuttles The San Mateo County Transit District provides employee -sponsored shuttle service in the vicinity. There are three shuttle services from the Millbrae Transit Center to other destination within San Mateo County: the Burlingame- Bayside BART/Caltrain, Millbrae/Broadway and North Burlingame shuttle lines. The Burlingame- Bayside BART/Caltrain shuttle runs along Rollins Road within the Plan Area. These shuttle services run during commute hours, Mondays through Fridays. 2.3.4 Existing Land Uses The 2004 specific plan allowed for industrial uses limited to airport -related industries, food preparation, fabrication, commercial recreation, commercial food preparation/processing, retail and wholesale building and garden supply, industrial training facilities, public service facilities, and other light industry. Identical land uses were permitted on parcels adjacent to Adrian Road; however, Adrian Road was designated as a new automobile sales and service district and encouraged consolidation of lots to create parcels of five acres or greater in size. Throughout the district, standalone office uses were explicitly prohibited. Today, the overall North Rollins Specific Plan Area is approximately 88.8 acres that generally follow the development pattern established by the 2004 specific plan, with the exception of two residential projects approved since the adoption of the RRMU interim zoning ordinance. Industrial (1) land uses dominate the Plan Area; these uses include businesses such as the Guittard Chocolate Company, a See's Candies facility, Public Storage, and other light manufacturing and warehouse businesses that may contain a showroom/retail component. The second largest land use by acreage is Commercial Service and Retail (CSR) use which includes office headquarters for software, electronic, and freight -forwarding business, and several sports recreation and athletic clubs such as the Prime Time Athletic Club. Exhibit 2.5 shows several of the large parcels with a hatch of Commercial Service (CS) use over either the CSR or I land uses. This hatch indicates a mix of both land uses in the parcel where multiple businesses may occupy one building or several groups of buildings with multiple uses occupy a parcel. This mix of uses comprises the third and fourth largest acreage in the Plan Area. ��" P�e� ' oaf g � ��'`•: ,� 4 ��.; tlon' .�� d( L0 O� �•.'� � �, • a ��. ;�`Je .'�•.� ��\�, Gaya �d�y Ge Gnr CeoGgrn i /R s d s t P P k83oad k�Wk u/H s d g; d h s t P P k83oad kcWk gs t P P k83oad k&ACk oDy h krola L/L s d h s t P P k83oad kWlCk oDy h krnla RWR b kDynl r8oa WR 4 d H3ynl rdoags t P P kffioad k�Wk I-WN Bx lBftftl i /U Project Site Total 75.38 Project Site Area including Rights -of -way uu/uu Q N.T.S.

Exhibit 2.6 - Existing Land Uses The Commercial Service land use on its own makes up the fifth largest land use acreage with businesses that include a moving company, tile store, printer, hardware store, and insurance office. The utility easement under the power lines makes up the sixth largest land use acreage followed by one parcel of public facilities where the SFPUC Water Quality Bureau is located. Sea Level Rise and Flood Zone The General Plan identifies areas within the Specific Plan that may be susceptible to sea level rise. Portions of the North Rollins Specific Plan area would be at risk should a 3-foot or 6-foot sea level rise occur. In addition, the Specific Plan area is within Zone X 0.2, which means there is a 0.2 percent annual chance of flood hazards (referred to as a 500-year storm event). Specific grading or setback requirements are reviewed and implemented during the review of each development project or building plan check. fi T) fi v fi ( fi v T r 2020 2021 Project Existing Conditions Report P ject Area Concept Plan P ject Area Pre/rred commencement end lnitlel Outreach Attemetives Concept Plan COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Communily Technical Community Community Technical Communily Advisory AWl q Workshop Advisory Advisory Wokshop Committee Committee Committee Committee *Please note that schedule is approximate and subject to change 2.4 Public Outreach Summary In order to succeed as a mixed -use district, the Specific Plan area must meet the needs of a diverse set of stakeholders, including residents, employees within the Plan Area, and business and property owners. The outreach strategy for the Specific Plan included the formation of two committees: The Community Advisory Committee (CAC), and the Technical Advisory Committee JAC). The CAC was composed of business and property owners within the Plan Area, and other interested parties. The TAC was composed of members of City Staff. Additionally, outreach meetings open to any interested party were conducted for members of the public to provide feedback throughout the process, and study sessions were held by the Planning Commission.

Participants were asked what types of features and places they would like to see integrated into the new mixed -use district. presented at these meetings was substantially identical, and together input from these groups steered the discussions regarding focus areas, streetscaping, and the public and private realms. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2020, all outreach meetings were held virtually. A total of two CAC meetings, two TAC meetings, and two Planning Commission study sessions occurred throughout the planning process. These meetings were critical in the development of the preferred concept alternatives for Plan Area focus areas, the public realm, and open spaces. 2.4.1 Workshop 1: Community Visioning Outreach Session Concept The goal of the visioning meetings was to determine perceptions of the existing condition of the Plan Area and generate ideas for the district's future. Members of the TAC and CAC were asked to identify specific features of the Plan Area that they liked as well as what about the district should be preserved and what they would like to see changed. Session Summary CAC and TAC members universally identified open space as lacking within the Plan Area. Future redevelopment should include open space and streetscaping improvements, both for the sake of aesthetics and livability, if residential uses are to be introduced to the area. Members desired to preserve the industrial, eclectic character of the area and build upon it with public art. The Santa Barbara "Funk Zone" was identified as a mixed -use district that could serve as an example for redevelopment within the Plan Area. Overall, the committees expressed the desire for the Plan Area to serve as a gathering place for the Burlingame community, Concept Alternatives North Rollins Road KEY MAP ALT 1 TYPE I SHARED USE PATH ALT 2: TYPE II BIKE LANFS NORTH ROLLIN5 ROAD . 1 1 1 Curb radius: a, 1 � � 1 m Determined by 1 r t I 1r,7" necessa y um ng � radius Length: at least5' Width: Determined by beyond edge of rross- adjacent lanes walk SAMPLE BULB —OUT CONDITION socu ft-MG +P~ 1W W 9uld" um + uxE w/ HUAPGM Ppst.}q ft W 9x( ALT 3: TYPE III BIKE ROUTE ALT 4: TYPE IV BIKEWAY Image from second CAC and TAC meeting, reviewing concept alternatives generated based on previous discussions.

These concepts were outlined and presented to the TAC and CAC for feedback and further direction to ensure that they represented the vision established in the first outreach session. Session Summary The TAC and CAC reacted generally positively to the focus area, open space, and streetscape concepts. These committees reiterated the desire for Rollins Road to act as the "backbone" of the Plan Area and to focus redevelopment along the corridor. Facilitating multi -modal access throughout the Plan Area, improving streetscaping and aesthetics, and creating a walkable mixed -use district were important concepts identified by the committee members. Feedback generated from this outreach session was utilized to further refine the plan concepts for the Specific Plan. 2.4.3 Workshop 3: Specific Plan Review Session Concept After some time to develop the Specific Plan document, the document was sent to both the TAC and CAC for feedback. Key topics of the Specific Plan were presented to both the TAC and CAC and divided into four categories: Circulation, Open Space, Design Guidelines, and Development Standards/Land Uses/ Implementation. Session Summary The TAC and CAC both provided comments on specific land uses, the design of North Rollins Road, the art in public places program, and community benefits. A lengthy and important discussion occurred regarding the ultimate width of the parkway and sidewalk within the North Rollins Road, ultimately resulting in the design included within this document. This page intentionally blank Chapter 3 - Plan Elements 3.1 Purpose and Intent 3.2 Specific Plan Objectives This Chapter contains a discussion of the various plan elements for the North Rollins Specific Plan, including the following: • Project Vision and Objectives • Open Space Plan • Land Use Plan • Circulation and Mobility Plan • Infrastructure Plan Each element works in tandem with the other plan parts to establish a framework, ensuring that the Specific Plan fosters high -quality development and a reimagined urban fabric for the North Rollins Road area. As a result of the vision established during the outreach process, the Specific Plan aims to create a new neighborhood of creative live/work units and mixed -use and multi -unit developments that support small-scale commercial businesses and other employment uses within easy walking distance to the Millbrae Transit Center, while preserving existing industrial uses in the area. The North Rollins Specific Plan is designed to implement a series of realistic and achievable project objectives that will help realize applicable City of Burlingame General Plan goals and policies and ensure that the Plan Area develops as a high -quality mixed -use neighborhood. These objectives are as follows: • Create a land use framework that allows for the North Rollins Road area to be reimagined as a medium- and high -density mixed -use neighborhood, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. • Preserve the Plan Area's industrial and unique identity while allowing for new types of development to occur. Implement infill development on underutilized parcels within the Rollins Road area, consistent with the goals and policies of the Housing Element. Maximize access to transit by promoting development near the Millbrae Transit Center. • Create a "sense of place" through attractive streetscapes unique to the Plan Area. Re -allocate and improve public rights -of - way to safely accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, and delivery trucks. • Ensure future development activates northern Rollins Road. • Support emerging business by establishing flexible zoning regulations that allow creative art and design -oriented uses and green -tech commercial and industrial uses. • Utilize a planning process that is driven by the needs and desires of the community. Prepare specific provisions tailored to the unique conditions of the North Rollins Road area. 3.3 Open Space Plan A dynamic and integrated open space network contributes to the vitality and wellbeing of a community. The open space network within the Plan Area should promote non -vehicular travel and connectivity as a primary feature while providing spaces for relaxation and recreational activities. The open space network weaves together a mix of private, common, and public open spaces to create a singular, unified open space experience. The conceptual location and size of green spaces indicated in Exhibit 3.1, Open Space Diagram, are approximate, but are laid out with the intent of an open space plan that has non -vehicular connections woven throughout the Plan Area. To provide an appropriate transition between improvements within the Plan Area on Rollins Road and outside of the Plan Area on southerly Rollins Road, streetscaping and landscaping on Rollins Road are anticipated to extend to its intersection with David Road, as depicted on Exhibit 3.1.

I Source: San Mateo County GIs, Google Earth Exhibit 3.1 - Open Space Diagram 3.3.1 Green Network Circulation The network of green spaces will emphasize multi -modal circulation outside of the vehicular spines. Park experiences should occur within a 1/8-mile radius of each other, and in turn develop a pedestrian experience that allows for a space of green or respite to occur within the span of a five-minute walk. The green hubs will be connected by linear parks, paseos, plazas, pocket parks, sidewalks, and trails, which are described in the subsequent sections. Design guidelines for these park spaces are found in Section 4.2, Landscape Design Guidelines, of Chapter 4.

I Source: San Mateo CountyGlS, Google Earth 0 3.3.1.1 Linear Park The space under the utility lines parallel to Rollins Road is ideal to create a recreational corridor that links the east and west ends of the district independent of street circulation. The utility corridor is also a drainage easement which contains storm drain infrastructure. The linear park will feature a plaza that is the terminus of perpendicular pathways and paseos. It will serve as community recreation hub for local residents as well as visitors. Example: Linear park with pathway and seating opportunities. Example: Pocket park providing gathering spaces. Example: Linear park providing flexible usable space. Example: Pocket park providing play opportunities. 3.3.1.2 Public Pocket Park Pocket parks take advantage of outdoor space which can support the overall green network. Interspersed parks are the intermediate destination along the green network. They will serve as small social hubs, spaces of rest or provide recreation amenities. 3.3.1.3 Plazas Plazas can utilize space that may not have suitable conditions for recreation and are better aligned to support a social hub. They are intended to promote gathering, social interaction and flexible programming. Example: Plaza with flexible seating and group opportunities. Example: Paseos integrating green into a functional corridor. Example: Plaza contributing to arrival spaces and promoting indoor/ outdoor use. Example: Paseos may provide seating and wayfinding. 3.3.1.4 P a s e o s Paseos will serve as pedestrian connections between open spaces. They are pedestrian oriented corridors which may host amenities 4 I �ArY Example: Windrow trail provides non -vehicular access at Southern edge. Example: Windrow trail may provide dedicated travel lanes for various users. 3.3.1.5 Windrow Trail The Windrow Trail will utilize the edge of the railroad corridor to provide pedestrian connection along the district's southern boundary. Example: Private common open space may include loop trails and green nodes can contribute to the green network. a� pop, � �i-� Example: Private common open space may provide seating that is available to the public and serves adjacent uses. 3.3.1.6 Private Common Open Space Privately owned and maintained open spaces that are open to the public can contribute to the overall green network. 3.4 Land Use Plan and Focus - Area Overlay The North Rollins Specific Plan is planned as a framework for redevelopment that refines the implementation of the North Rollins Road Mixed - Use (RRMU) district. Permitted uses are detailed in Chapter5, Development Standards, and apply uniformly to the extent of the approximately 88.8-acre Plan Area as depicted upon Exhibit 3.3, Land Use and Circulation. Land Uses allowed by the Specific Plan include residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed - use. Development may occur throughout the entirety of the Plan Area. Residential, mixed -use, and commercial developments may utilize tiered development standards that allow for higher - density developments to occur for projects that provide specific community benefits, described in Section 5.5.3, Community Benefit Bonuses. Table 3.1 — Maximum Base Development Intensity, includes a summary of the maximum intensities for various types of development within the Plan Area. krLand Use Maximum Allowable Base Intensity Multi -Unit Residential 70 base units per acre Commercial Uses 1.0 Floor Area Ratio Industrial Uses 1.0 Floor Area Ratio Mixed -Uses 1.0 Floor Area Ratio Residential development may occur at a density of between 30 and 70 base dwelling units per acre, depending on the development intensity tier used. The maximum allowable base intensity for residential development identified in Table 3.1 is considered a base intensity.

Commercial and industrial developments are allowed to occur throughout the Plan Area at various Floor Area Ratios (FAR), as defined by the BMC, with certain uses subject to additional restrictions as detailed in Chapter 5. Additionally, the intensity and density described herein have been evaluated in conjunction with the environmental analysis performed for the "Envision Burlingame" General Plan Update and subsequent environmental analyses. Section 6.6, Maximum Development Analyzed per CEQA, describes the intensity at initial implementation analyzed pursuant to CEQA (unless amended) to clearly communicate environmental clearances to the decision makers, developers, and the general public. Development may exceed intensity limits described in this section, provided they have been adequately analyzed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Specific Plan implements design guidelines that apply to all residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed -use development throughout the Plan Area, and also utilizes a "focus area" overlay that implements various targeted design guidelines and objective design standards based on the unique opportunities and challenges present in each of the five area focus areas. These focus areas are depicted on Exhibit 3.4, Focus Area Overlay, with the description and the targeted design guidelines provided in Section 4.3.8, Focus Area Guidelines. 3.5 Circulation and Mobility Plan The North Rollins Specific Plan Area is planned as a transit -oriented mixed -use neighborhood that blends existing uses with new uses and development. Circulation and mobility planning are key elements of the Specific Plan given the unique proximity of the Plan Area to the Millbrae Transit Center, San Francisco International Airport, Highway 101, and regional and local serving retail and entertainment opportunities. Several of the Specific Plan objectives relate to circulation and mobility, including: • Promote alternatives to automobile transportation to further the City's transportation objectives by emphasizing public transit linkages, Transportation Demand Management (TDM), and pedestrian access and ease of movement between buildings. • Create convenient and safe pedestrian and bike access to the Millbrae Caltrain and BART stations. • Improve public streets through the Specific Plan area to improve public rights -of -way and regional roadway circulation. • Enhance vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation and access in the area surrounding the Specific Plan. To accomplish these objectives, this Specific Plan incorporates a "complete streets" approach that prioritizes creation of a truly multi -modal transportation system, as depicted on Exhibit 3.3. This is consistent with the City's General Plan goals and policies that encourage providing infrastructure and design features into street design, enhanced capacity, and new linkages to provide "a well-connected network of Complete Streets that can move all modes safely, efficiently, and comfortably to promote efficient circulation" among other benefits. Utilizing this approach, driving to and from the Specific Plan area is an option but not a necessity, and multi -modal mobility options are provided for employees, residents, guests, and the public. The circulation and mobility improvements proposed are intended to improve access to, and circulation within, the Plan Area, including to the Millbrae Transit Center. Section 3.5.1 includes guidelines intended to prioritize the pedestrian and bicyclist experience within the Specific Plan area and the surrounding transportation network to ensure safe connections within and surrounding the Specific Plan area. 3.5.1 Mobility Guidelines The following circulation and mobility guidelines are intended to facilitate the implementation of this Specific Plan. Multimodal Circulation • Promote circulation infrastructure and design that allows for alternative transportation modes including public transit, pedestrian travel, bicycle, and shuttles. Encourage use of alternative modes of transportation and reduce single -occupancy vehicle trips through implementation of transportation demand management (TDM) measures. • Create a circulation network that integrates the built environment and open space, both within and adjacent to the Specific Plan area. Pedestrian and Bicycle • Facilitate pedestrian circulation within and adjacent to the Specific Plan area to minimize automobile trip generation. • Use pedestrian -only walkways (sidewalks and promenades) to provide (ADA- compliant) safe and convenient connections within the Specific Plan area. • In appropriate areas, define walkways with distinctive paving materials and lighting. • In appropriate areas, provide places for seating along pedestrian walkways. • Except where infeasible, inset walkways from roadways with a landscape buffer to promote safe, pedestrian -friendly circulation. • Provide short-term bicycle parking at grade level that is conveniently located to serve shoppers, customers, guests, and other visitors. • Provide long-term bicycle parking in parking or building structures that serve employees and residents who generally stay for longer periods of time. Promote the use of walking and bicycling by employees and residents by providing convenient long-term bicycle parking, showers, and changing facilities. • Examine potential for pedestrian crossings traversing the rail right-of-way. Provide designated Class II bike routes on both sides of Rollins Road. In other Specific Plan areas, bicycle circulation would be accommodated by Class III bike routes. • Clearly delineate bicycle access and parking by lane markings and wayfinding signage. Transit Access Encourage connections to public transit, particularly safe and convenient pedestrian, and bicycle access to the Caltrain and BART routes at the Millbrae Transit Center. Design the public roadway network to support a conveniently -accessible transit/ shuttle service stops that does not impede the primary flow of traffic. On -Site Parking and Loading • Locate loading and delivery zones away from pedestrian circulation areas and adjacent residential neighborhoods to the greatest extent practicable. Design the roadway network to support accessible loading and delivery zones that do not impede the primary flow of traffic. • Clearly delineate parking access with lane markings and wayfinding signage to reduce conflicts and improve safety. 3.5.2 Circulation & Mobility Improvements Proposed circulation and mobility within and around the Specific Plan area include upgrades to existing roadways, pedestrian pathways, and bike facilities. Consistent with the mobility guidelines above, these improvements will be designed to provide a variety of travel options (vehicle, pedestrian, bike, transit, shuttle service) and provide safe and seamless pedestrian access to the nearby Millbrae Transit Center. A potential pedestrian crossing traversing the southwestern rail corridor, identified on Exhibit 3.3 in a location connecting either Guittard Road or Ingold Road to California Drive, was examined as a result of public input during outreach efforts expressing a preference for additional pedestrian connections across the rail tracks. A preliminary study indicated that such a crossing would incur disproportionately high costs relative to the connectivity benefits to the area, however. Such a pedestrian crossing may be evaluated in the future as the Plan Area evolves and develops over time. Fire department apparatus access requirements in accordance with the California Fire Code are to be confirmed during development design review to ensure new and existing roadways have adequate width and turnaround infrastructure to accommodate responding units. The redesign of Rollins Road and Adrian Road fire access roadways must accommodate the size and maneuvering capabilities of all fire apparatus. This includes, but is not limited to, drive lanes, cul-de-sac turnarounds, street corner bulb outs, and bike lane protection. Raised curbs within the required access road width are not permitted, street trees and landscaping are not permitted to extend into the required fire access road clear height. Fire apparatus specifications are available from CCFD. Upon implementation of any new Rollins Road roadway designed under this specific plan, consideration is needed for the clear transition from the new roadway design to the existing Rollins Road immediately south this specific plan area. 3.5.2.1 Plan Area Roadway Circulation Rollins Road Improvements A major circulation and mobility feature of the Specific Plan is the improvement of the northern section of Rollins Road, which would serve as the primary road for the Plan Area. In addition to providing connectivity to the surrounding community, it will also serve as the primary access to internal private roadways, parking, and loading areas within the Plan Area. As envisioned in the Burlingame General Plan, Rollins Road will be improved to transition the area from an existing industrial district to a complete "live/work" neighborhood, with moderate density residential and mixed -use development. The proposed improvements for Rollins Road will require the Plan Area to serve more travel modes as a growing population of employees and residents are expected to use the Millbrae Transit Center. Rollins Road is envisioned to consist of at least one travel lane in each direction separated by a turning lane. Class II bike routes, on -street parking lane that could also accommodate transit stops, 6' wide landscape planting, and 5' wide sidewalks are proposed for both sides of Rollins Road as shown in Exhibit3.5, Conceptual Rollins Road Cross Section and Improvements. As Rollins Road continues beyond the Plan Area boundary, it is envisioned that improvements will include the portion to the south encompassing the stretch between the Plan Area boundary to David Road to create a clear transition from the new roadway design to the existing street configuration, as depicted on Exhibit 3.1. Anticipated improvements to Rollins Road include the following: • New public open spaces near the Broderick Road and Ingold Road residential areas. • Paseo connections perpendicular to Rollins Road. • A new multi -use pedestrian/bike pathway located adjacent to the City of Burlingame/ City of Millbrae Property line. • Gateways to transition from South Rollins to North Rollins and North Rollins into Millbrae. • Traffic calming improvements, including bulb outs, for intersections at Broderick Road, Guittard Road and Ingold Road, depicted on Exhibit 3.8, Conceptual Intersection Improvements. Adrian Road Improvements As shown in Exhibit 3.6, Conceptual Adrian Road Cross Section and Improvements, Adrian Road would be expanded to include bike routes and 5' wide sidewalks. The proposed improvements will incorporate a Class III Bike Route. This reconfiguration is intended to create a safer, ' PAE SIDEWALK PLANTING PARKING BIKE VARIES LANE LANE LANE 84' f BIKE PARKING PLANTING SIDEWALK —L VARIES ROW ALT 2: TYPE II BIKE LANES Exhibit 3.5 - Conceptual Rollins Road Cross Section and Improvements VARIES 20' n:n. 5' 7 14' 14' 7' +�- `- A' PAE DEWALK PARKING LANE W/SHARROW LANE W/SHARROW PARKING SIDEWALIQ HWY 101 VARIES 52• _ LANDSCAPE BUFFER ROW If ALT 2A: TYPE III BIKE ROUTE WITH PARKING PAE VARIES Exhibit 3.6 - Conceptual Adrian Road Cross Section and Improvements ROW PAE VARIES N.T.S.

Proposed off -site improvements include new public open spaces and parks, increased connectivity through existing utility easements, and pedestrian improvements on Rollins Road providing enhanced and safer pedestrian and bicycle access to the Millbrae Transit Center. SamTrans Transit Center is also located at the Millbrae Transit Center, which provides bus service to a range of destinations in San Mateo County. 3.5.4 Bicycle Connectivity Bicycle circulation through the Plan Area is provided by a series of Class II and Class III facilities. This circulation network is illustrated in Exhibit3.3. Bicycle facilities are designed for recreational use, as well as for access to areas within the Plan Area. 3.6 Infrastructure and Public Services This section describes the existing major utility infrastructure and the related improvements needed at build -out of the Specific Plan and the public services required to serve users of the Plan Area. 3.6.1 Introduction Implementation of the Specific Plan will require the construction of infrastructure and provision of public services and utilities to serve the Plan Area in accordance with development standards. In connection with development within the Plan Area, infrastructure, services, and utilities should be designed to meet the standards set forth by the City of Burlingame and other utility agencies with oversight authority. Infrastructure and public services addressed in this section include water, sewer, storm drainage, solid waste disposal, and dry utilities. Table 3.2 — Service Providers, lists the various service providers for the Plan Area known to operate services at the time this Specific Plan was prepared. These providers may be subject to change. As shown in Table 3.2, the Plan Area is served by existing storm drain systems, sanitary sewer conveyance systems, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and potable water systems that are owned, operated, and maintained by the City of Burlingame. Electric and gas services are provided by Pacific Gas & Electric. Electric service is also available through Peninsula Clean Energy. The Plan Area is not in an area supplied with recycled water, as the City of Burlingame does not have an existing or planned recycled water distribution system in place. Existing water, sewer, storm drain, electrical, gas, and communication utilities are in public utility easements throughout and adjacent to the Plan Area. Demolition and rerouting of certain existing infrastructure will be required for implementation of the Specific Plan. Rerouting/ realigning portions of existing water and wastewater lines, undergrounding existing overhead utilities along the immediate street frontages (subject to existing City procedures), and demolishing existing utility lines are all likely to be requested by the City or otherwise required by the respective utility provider. Service Water Wastewater Storm Drainage Electric Service Gas Service Police Protection Fire Protection Emergency Medical Current Provider City of Burlingame City of Burlingame City of Burlingame Pacific Gas and Electric, Peninsula Clean Energy Pacific Gas and Electric City of Burlingame Central County Fire Department (CCFD) 3.6.1.1 Sequencing of Infrastructure Specific requirements regarding timing and sizing of infrastructure will be determined by the City for each phase during a Project approval process. As each phase of infrastructure is built, it is anticipated that the constructed public infrastructure will be dedicated to and accepted by the City of Burlingame. 3.6.2 Water Supply 3.6.2.1 Existing & Future Water Supply The City of Burlingame owns and operates the existing domestic water facilities within and around the Plan Area. The City of Burlingame Water Division is responsible for maintaining the water mains within the City boundaries, including portions of the Burlingame Hills. All the City's water supply is purchased under contract from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). The SFPUC has several large pipelines running through the town. The Plan Area has distribution mains located in each of the public street frontages. An eight - inch asbestos -cement (AC) main provides water service to the current parcels fronting Highway 101. An eight -inch asbestos -cement (AC) main provides water service to the current parcels fronting Adrian Court. Adrian Road, north of Adrian Court, is serviced by an eight - inch asbestos -cement (AC) main. A ten -inch AC main is located underneath Rollins Road, and American Medical supplies water service to the adjacent parcels. A Response (AMR) and twelve -inch asbestos -cement (AC) main services Central County Fire the parcels along Broderick Road. A twelve -inch Department (CCFD) asbestos -cement (AC) pipe runs southwest to northeast to connect water mains parallel to California Drive and Highway 101. Currently there is no public recycled water infrastructure. See Exhibit 3.10, Existing Utility Infrastructure, for existing utility locations. 3.6.2.2 Specific Plan Water Infrastructure Improvements At full buildout, development of the Plan Area is conservatively estimated to use approximately 400,000 gallons per day (448 acre-feet / year [AFY]) for indoor demand and approximately 20,000 gallons per day (22 AFY) for irrigation demand. In total, water demand of approximately 420,000 gallons per day (470 AFY), which can be adequately served by SFPUC, as documented in the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). In general, existing water facilities are anticipated to be sufficient to support project buildout. 3.6.3 Wastewater 3.6.3.1 Wastewater Regulatory Setting The City of Burlingame owns and maintains sanitary sewer systems and related infrastructures. The City of Burlingame sanitary sewer systems consists of sewer mains within city streets and easements, sewer laterals from the sewer cleanout at the City's right-of-way, and seven lift stations. The lift stations move wastewater to the City's wastewater treatment facility for treatment and discharge to a treatment plant for dechlorinating before being discharged into the San Francisco Bay. The average dry weather flow through the Burlingame Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) is 3 million gallons per day (MGD). Peak wet weather flows can exceed 16 MGD. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has adopted a Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Order which requires the City of Burlingame to develop and implement a Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP). The latest City of Burlingame SSMP, prepared and adopted in May 2013 and revised April 2018, identifies ongoing maintenance and system improvements necessary to maintain the sewer system. The 2018 revised SSMP was used as the basis for wastewater infrastructure capacity design for this Specific Plan. 3.6.3.2 Wastewater Existing Conditions As identified in the 2018 SSMP, the Plan Area is in Tributary Basin 8 within the Burlingame Sanitary Sewer System. Wastewater from the Plan Area discharges to existing public sanitary sewer mains in the adjacent public roadways. These public mains drain to a pump station located at 1740 Rollins Road which pumps the wastewater to the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Plan Area drains to sanitary sewer main lines located underneath California Drive, Rollins Road, and between Adrian Road and Rollins Road. All three main lines drain northwest to southeast. The California Drive main is an eight -inch ductile iron pipe (DIP) that flows from California Drive to Rollins Road by way of Broderick Road. The Rollins Road main line is an eight -inch asbestos - concrete pipe (AC) that flows southeast out of the Plan Area. The main line between Adrian Road and Rollins Road collects wastewater from the parcels between Adrian Road and Rollins Road. The wastewater is collected by a series of eight - inch laterals that feed into a ten -inch asbestos - concrete (AC) main which drains out of the Plan Area. I, RA ® Plan Area Boundary Sanitary Sewer Water Main Storm Drain IExhibit 3.10 - Existing Utility Infrastructure N.T.S. I Source: City of Burlingame (!) 3.6.3.3 Specific Plan Wastewater Improvements Buildout of the Plan Area will increase wastewater/sanitary sewer flows to the public sanity sewer system. There is sufficient capacity at the WWTF to provide wastewater treatment for the proposed flows from the buildout of North Rollins Road. It is anticipated that each new building will include at least one new lateral to connect to existing mains. Wastewater will be conveyed via both on -site pump stations and gravity flow. All improvements will be designed and constructed consistent with City of Burlingame requirements In conformance with the 2018 SSMP, it is anticipated that several public sewer mains that directly serve the Plan Area will be upsized to account for the additional sanitary sewer flow generation. North Rollins Road Improvements At full buildout, sanitary sewer flow generation during maximum day wet weather flow (MDWWF, worst case) will increase by approximately 370,000 gallons per day (GPD) of sanitary sewer flow. The existing sanitary sewer flow generation for the known developments in the Rollins Road area is 38,000 gallons per day. The total flow with fully projected development conditions met will be roughly 408,000 gallons per day. Proposed upgrades to meet increased sewer demands include: • RR-3 Rollins Road pump station improvements. Within the next five years most of the pump components at the Rollins Road pump station will need to be replaced and the mechanical components will need to be recoated. Within the next ten years the ventilation fans need to be replaced. • Implementation of anew force main beginning at the 1740 pump station and running down Rollins Road. 3.6.4 Stormwater 3.6.4.1 Stormwater Regulatory Setting The existing storm drainage infrastructure within the Plan Area is owned, operated, and maintained by the City of Burlingame. The City of Burlingame owns and maintains storm drainage infrastructure within the Plan Area, which is on the boundary between two Burlingame drainage watersheds: South Region (Mills Creek Sub Watershed) and the North Region (Millbrae Creek Sub Watershed). The State of California regulates water quality in the region through the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The City of Burlingame is a permittee of the Municipal Regional NPDES Permit (MRP) administered by the RWQCB. As a permittee, the City is responsible for requiring that all qualifying development projects, including development within the Plan Area, comply with the City's MRP requirements and other applicable state and local stormwater and water quality requirements. 3.6.4.2 Existing Conditions Existing on -site storm drainage systems within the Plan Area convey storm runoff to the adjacent public roadways. Under existing conditions, the Plan Area drains towards the San Francisco Bay. Storm runoff in the Plan Area flows to a storm water pump station located at 1740 Rollins Road. The pump station then discharges through a box culvert under Highway 101 to a concrete channel that then discharges to the San Francisco Bay. 3.6.4.3 Specific Plan Stormwater Improvements Development within the Plan Area shall be required to comply with the City's standard development conditions regarding both stormwater conveyance and water quality, in addition to any other applicable federal, state, and local requirements regarding stormwater discharge. Implementation of the Specific Plan anticipates providing a reduction in the overall peak runoff from the Plan Area by increasing the pervious area through new landscaping and permeable areas compared to existing conditions. Stormwater Treatment Consistent with C.3 requirements in the MRP and the City of Burlingame and San Mateo County requirements, stormwater runoff from private developments within the Plan Area will be treated through low impact development (LID) methods, which may consist of bioretention basins, flow through planters, pervious permeable pavements, and other site design features intended to manage stormwater runoff flows from the Plan Area and to reduce stormwater pollution. 3.6.5 Dry Utilities 3.6.5.1 Existing Dry Utilities The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) currently provides both electric and gas services to the Plan Area. Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE), a Community Choice Energy (CCE) program allows local governments to pool the electric demand of their communities to purchase power with high renewable content and is also available within the Plan Area. Individual residents and businesses may select either PG&E or PCE as their electric provider. Electrical infrastructure in the Plan Area is above ground on utility poles as well as below ground in adjacent subdivisions. Natural gas pipelines are below ground in adjacent public rights -of -way. 3.6.5.2 Specific Plan Dry Utilities Improvements Cable, phone, gas and electric infrastructure improvements will be required to adequately serve development within the Plan Area. These dry utility infrastructure improvements are anticipated to include undergrounding a portion of the existing overhead utilities along the immediate street frontages, as conditioned by the City or otherwise required by the respective utility provider. Where required by the City, new dry utilities improvements should be located underground and in building service areas. Above -ground facilities should be screened from view utilizing landscaping and/or other appropriate screening methods. The extent and timing of dry utility improvements will be determined as part of the Project review. 3.6.6 Public Services Relevant public services include police, fire protection, and emergency medical services, all of which are provided by the City of Burlingame or Central County Fire Department (CCFD) within the Plan Area. Any increased demand for public services associated with implementation of the Specific Plan will be financed through public facilities development impact fees and the payment of annual property taxes associated with new development within the Plan Area. New development projects must ensure the availability of water supplies and infrastructure meets the fire -suppression needs of the project without compromising existing fire -suppression capabilities to existing buildings. Fire flow tests will be required pursuant to CCFD requirements. This page intentionally blank Chapter 4 - Design Guidelines & Standards 4.1 Introduction This Chapter provides the design framework for landscape, streetscape, and building architecture within the Plan Area to: • Promote a walkable and livable environment within the project area. • Develop a strategy for providing open space amenities within the project area. • Promote state-of-the-art green building practices. • Transform the Plan Area into a mixed -use district with increased housing density and transit supportive uses. The purpose of the design guidelines is to provide guidance to builders and their design professionals, city staff and decision makers when designing and approving future development proposals within the Plan Area. These guidelines provide general directions on implementing the vision and fundamental concepts established by the Specific Plan. The guidelines are not a set of rigid requirements and are not intended to unduly limit creative designs; rather, they are general and illustrative in nature to encourage innovation and variety. Designs that do not adhere strictly to these guidelines but achieve the design intent and vision for the Specific Plan and meet the Development Regulations set forth in Chapter 5 may be deemed in substantial conformance with the Specific Plan. The strongest level of design intent is specified by the use of terms such as "must," "shall" and "prohibited." Preferred design items are designated as a condition which is "encouraged," "preferred," "recommended," "appropriate," or as one that "should" be included. Preferred design items are considered voluntary and need not be included in a proposed development. These Design Guidelines are intended to be flexible in nature while establishing basic evaluation criteria for the review of future developments as part of the development review process. With the exception of Design Guidelines indicated as "must," "shall" or "prohibited," or the Objective Design Standards, these Design Guidelines are not regulatory and all proposals shall be reviewed by the City for general consistency with these Design Guidelines. The City may find a development consistent with the purpose and intent of this Section without the proposal being consistent with each guideline. 4.1.1 Objective Design Standards Objective Design Standards are minimum design requirements that apply to all multi -unit residential and mixed -use development in the Plan Area. As a result of Senate Bill (SB) 35 signed into law in 2017 and SB 330 signed into law in 2019, multi- unit residential development projects meeting certain eligibility requirements are subject to a streamlined ministerial approval process within the State of California. SB 35 eligibility requirements are detailed in Section 6.10.b, Design Review. This is an a opt - in program for developers, who must request streamlined approval for qualifying projects. Eligible projects will be reviewed according to standards that "involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant and public official prior to submittal." Projects in the Plan Area qualifying for streamlined ministerial approval under SB 35 or SB 330 are subject to the objective design standards within this chapter. These projects are not required to comply with subjective design guidelines; however, the intent and application of subjective guidelines is encouraged to be implemented to the greatest extent feasible to ensure high -quality development that is consistent with the community identity of the Plan Area. All other non -qualifying residential development, commercial, industrial, and mixed -use development is required to comply with the Design Guidelines as described in Section 4.1. 4.2 Urban Design Guidelines These guidelines implement the open space, streetscape, landscape and amenities that contribute to the overall character envisioned for the North Rollins Specific Plan area. These Urban Design Guidelines provide criteria, inspiration, recommendations, and requirements for future development within the Plan Area. a 4.2.1 Landscape Design Guidelines • Landscaping should provide visual interest, shade, and assist with air quality and stormwater treatment. The desired character is artisan -influenced, edgy and unique, with indoor/outdoor integration and multiple community gathering spaces. • The landscape should contribute to an overall open space network of parks, plazas, paseos, gathering spaces and outdoor experiences that weave together through the Plan Area. • Landscape features should help tie together the character and theme of the Plan Area. • All trees and plant materials should be appropriate for the local climate, microclimate and scale of surround buildings, features or amenities. • Outdoor programming should encourage a variety of uses, both passive and active. Examples are an artisan market/ farmer's market, community garden, live music performance, mobile food truck event, outdoor dining, or temporary art exhibitions. • Landscape should contribute to wayfinding and sense of place. Directional signage about open space and connectivity is recommended. • Landscape shall not obstruct circulation or view clearances for safety, per BMC Sections 11.04.040 (f) and 11.12.010. • Shade trees shall be planted along streets and in parking lots. • Drought -tolerant plant materials and water -efficient irrigation controllers shall be utilized. • New development shall comply with Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) and BMC Chapter 18.17, Water Conservation in Landscape. Ia 4. EV MAW DIS _ x Mind was OF :+ It 4-4 1 Chapter 41 North Rollins Specific Plan Draft 4.2.2 Open Space A network of green open spaces contributes to the vitality and well-being of a community, and public gathering spaces heighten a sense of community and shared experience. The open space network within the Plan Area should promote non -vehicular travel and multi -modal connectivity as a primary feature. Whenever possible, indoor/outdoor spaces should be utilized. New plazas and public spaces are encouraged. Outdoor areas should serve as gathering spaces to meet the needs of new and existing residents, visitors, workers and businesses. Private development is encouraged to provide increased quantities and sizes of park spaces and elements above the minimum requirement. The proposed open space network is a composition of a linear park, pocket parks, plazas, paseos, and enhanced street frontages. These open spaces connect to create a green tapestry and network of interconnected open spaces for residents, workers, shoppers, and visitors. Ideal public spaces integrate with adjacent uses or relevant programming. For example, public plazas may be activated by nearby retail or with programmed events like live music or markets. The proposed network layout of open space is shown in Chapter 3, Plan Elements, Open Space Example: Open space character imagery. 4.2.2.1 Linear Park The linear park provides park access to an area lacking public parks, makes use of a limited development area, incorporates nature and green space into an urban hardscape, promotes passive and active recreation, and serves as a multi -modal spine connecting pedestrians and bicyclists across the plan area in an off-street environment. The linear park occurs in a PG&E utility easement, which traverses the Plan Area beneath the high -voltage electricity transmission towers and elevated transmission lines that are anticipated to remain in -place for the foreseeable future. Due to compatibility and safety requirements imposed by proximity to the utility, any park concept proposed must implement designs that are suitable for such conditions and should include signage about the utility. Potential programming for this portion of the Plan Area may include, but is not limited to: trails, fields, play features with no footings and height below 4', game tables, a community garden, plants under 15' tall at maturity, a stormwater garden, synthetic turf areas, or berms and landscape mounds. Seating should be available in sun or shade, with areas protected from sun and wind to create comfortable spaces to linger. All uses, programming, and designs must be reviewed and accepted by PG&E. Integration of stormwater management techniques into the linear park is encouraged. Potential uses and a layout for the linear park are shown in Exhibit 4.1, Linear Park Concept. IExhibit 4.1 - Linear Park Concept N.T.S. I Source: GATES T 4.2.2.2 Pocket Parks Pocket parks are a flexible form of public gathering space that provide opportunities for recreation, events and interaction. Pocket parks are ideally located within 1/8 mile of one another, and should act as a node in the network of open space and pedestrian connectivity. These spaces should be a mix of hardscape and softscape, planted or synthetic turf, with flexibility to allow a mixture of gathering types and sizes. Seating should be available in sun or shade, with areas protected from sun and wind to create comfortable spaces to linger. Pocket parks should have natural surveillance from nearby uses. Pocket parks should be well lit to deter unwanted uses. Example: Horoscope, planting, seating, and public art combine to create a public pocket park between buildings. a� '4 Example: Flexible space and shade allow for extended hours and varying patterns of use. Example: Pocket parks are an opportunity to create play spaces. Example: Unique shapes and materials can contribute to the community character of public spaces. Example: Activation of street edges encourages an engaging and lively atmosphere. Example: Public plazas can emerge from unexpected spaces between buildings. Example: Interaction of public and private realm is encouraged. 4.2.2.3 Plazas Plazas are public or semi-public pedestrian - oriented spaces that provide opportunities for dining, entertainment, arts, community gathering, and events. Plazas are required for developments over a certain size threshold, as described in Chapter 5, Development Standards. Plazas can be located on street corners, mid - block, or at any other ground -level location with direct pedestrian access from the adjacent public realm. Combining and/or extending a plaza by co -locating plazas from separate developments to abut along one edge, thereby creating a larger public plaza, is encouraged. Plazas may host art installations, interactive art experiences, live music, and community exhibits. Plaza spaces should be designed to provide flexibility of use and be fully accessible and visible from the sidewalk. Plaza spaces should provide sun and shade, areas protected from wind and sun, lighting for safety and evening use, and plenty of seating. Incorporating planters and trees into the design is required. A list of required plaza amenities is listed in Chapter 5, and described in more detail later in this section. These amenities include trees, planted areas, seating, lighting, bicycle racks, trash receptacles, and signage. 4.2.2.4 Paseos Paseos are public or semi-public corridors that connect pocket parks, plazas, and the linear park as a pedestrian and bicyclist circulation link in the open space network. Paseos are required for developments over a certain size threshold as described in Chapter 5. The primary function of paseos should be circulation. Paseos provide a pedestrian -oriented space to facilitate fine grain connectivity aligned with the open space network. Landscape selections should integrate paseos into their surrounds. Lighting should be used to increase safety. 4.2.2.5 Windrow Trail The existing eucalyptus row on the southern edge of the Plan Area shall be integrated into a multi -use trail that parallels the rail corridor. The trail will provide an additional east/west connection. Trail should be asphalt or other pavement or compacted material and shall be a minimum of 8' wide. Example: Urban trails provide pedestrian and bicyclist circulation. Example: Paseos can implement placemaking practices to generate interest. Example: Paseos can serve as more than a pedestrian connection. Example: Paseos can serve as secondary entrances to buildings. F Example: Rooftop amenity decks may provide necessary community spaces. Example: Residential amenity decks provide desirable features. Example: Green roofs can serve a dual purpose as gathering space. 4.2.2.6 Private Open Space Private open space is defined as personal or common outdoor space that is not intended for use by the general public. Minimum requirements for private open space are described in Chapter 5. The provision of private open space beyond the minimum requirement, additional landscaping and amenities in private open spaces are encouraged to create an enjoyable space. Pedestrian -oriented amenities, such as seating and planting, improve the private open space. 4.2.2.7 Green Roofs Green roofs are planting areas upon building roofs that cover either a portion or the entirety of a roof. Green roofs typically consist of a combination of grasses, shrubs, and trees and may include amenity areas for passive outdoor recreation. Green roofs are highly encouraged throughout the Plan Area. These spaces reduce the impact of the urban heat island effect and cooling costs, while providing additional open space and increasing gathering space available to those living and working within an urban environment. 4.2.2.8 Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) CPTED involves four key strategies designed to reduce fear and crimes and improve quality of life. These strategies are: Natural Surveillance: Criminals do not want to be seen. Discourage potential offenders by placing physical features, activities and people in ways that maximize visibility and encourage positive intersection among users of public and private spaces. Natural surveillance measures may include, but are not limited to, placing windows so they overlook walkways and parking areas, creating landscape designs that allow for natural surveillance, providing adequate nighttime lighting and ensuring potential problem areas are well lit, etc. Territorial Reinforcement. Physical design can create or extend a sphere of influence. People then develop a sense of territorial control while potential offenders, perceiving this control, are discouraged. Territorial reinforcement occurs by using buildings, entry treatments, landscape, hardscape, fences, gates, etc. to convey ownership and define public and private areas. Natural Access Control: Natural access control is directed primarily at decreasing crime opportunity by clearly differentiating between public and private spaces. This type of control can be implemented by designing streets, walkways, building entrances and gateways to clearly indicate public routes and discourage access to private areas with structural elements. Target Hardening. This strategy is directed at denying or limiting access to a crime target through the use of physical barriers such as window locks, dead bolts for doors, interior door hinges, alarm systems, etc. CPTED Techniques • Ensure the intended activity has the opportunity to function well and directly support the control of human behavior. • Provide clear border definition of space. • Direct normal access to observable areas and prevent access to unobserved areas. Well defined and designed routes, spaces and entrances provide for convenient movement without compromising security. • Place vulnerable activities, such as cash handling and child care, in highly visible areas. • Place gathering areas in locations with natural surveillance. Clear sightlines enhance perceived and actual safety. • Natural, organized and electronic surveillance should be core parts of planning out the design. • Eliminate low surveillance areas in parking lots. Provide natural barriers to conflicting activities. • Provide a variety of lighting sources for illumination for increased surveillance and public safety. • Use signage to guide access, and set levels of acceptable behavior. • Places should be designed with management and maintenance in mind. A place that is well maintained and cared for presents itself as a safe and inviting place where people want to be. 4.2.3 Open Space Objective Design Standards • Pedestrian circulation shall take precedent over vehicular circulation. • Common "outdoor space" in the form of a pocket park, plaza, courtyard, garden, play area or outdoor amenity shall be provided. To be considered "outdoor space," the area must have a minimum dimension of 15' in all directions. • A maximum of 20% of "outdoor space" may be used for stormwater treatment. Example: Activated street frontage that spills onto and activates the street. Example: The streetscape is an opportunity to increase public green space. 4.2.4 Streetscape Character Streetscape designs should minimize conflicts between users to create safe and convenient circulation and access. The Plan Area prioritizes pedestrian and bicyclist transportation methods as a means to connect future residents, workers, and visitors to the Millbrae Station. The Specific Plan envisions streets to include continuous sidewalks, sharrowed bike lanes, and planter strips with street trees, where feasible, on both sides of each street. Sidewalks should connect and integrate with outdoor areas. The streets in the Plan Area — Rollins Road, Adrian Road, and the cul-de-sac streets — utilize a catalog of streetscape features. The most prominent street in the Plan Area, Rollins Road, has the highest occurrence and largest scale of features. Adrian Road uses fewer features at a smaller scale, while the cul-de-sac streets pull from the same catalog, with the least amount of features that are the smallest. Vehicular access onto properties and parking structures should be located to minimize conflicts between various users. Example: Pedestrian prioritization through enhanced crosswalks and seats. The street hierarchy, right-of-way widths for all streets, travel lane composition and widths are shown in Chapter 3, Plan Elements. 4.2.4.1 Rollins Road The redevelopment of Rollins Road as the backbone to the Plan Area envisions a greater balance of pedestrian and bicycle use through a designated bike zone, separated sidewalk, and increased street frontages and sidewalk amenities, landscaping, and lighting to enliven the street and Plan Area. The composition of Rollins Road's right-of-way is shown in Chapter 3. Increased sidewalk zone widths and pedestrian amenities within the property line, to culminate in more space for people, is encouraged for Rollins Road. When feasible, no vehicular access to private parcels should be provided on Rollins Road in order to give space priority to pedestrians along the main corridor in the Plan Area. Example: A buffered bike facility can support first and last mile connections. Example: A large and safe pedestrian realm encourages walking. Q N.T.S. I Source: Exhibit 4.2 - North Rollins Road Perspective 4.2.4.2 Adrian Road Serving as secondary circulation within the Plan Area parallel to Rollins Road, Adrian Road is envisioned to place higher importance on biking and walking. This translates to increased sidewalk zone widths and prioritization of space to pedestrians and bicyclists. The composition of Adrian Road's right-of-way is shown in Chapter 3. 4.2.4.3 Cul-de-sac Streets The cul-de-sac streets — Adrian Court, Broderick Road, Guittard Road, and Ingold Road — continue to provide uninterrupted sidewalks for pedestrian movement in the Plan Area. With narrower rights -of -way and less priority put on activating the street as on Rollins Road, the cul- de-sac streets support pedestrian movement with a basic sidewalk composition. The composition of the cul-de-sac streets' right- of-way is shown in Chapter 3. Where feasible, cul-de-sac streets should host the majority of the vehicular access points to private parcels in order to reduce the need for driveway curb -cuts access along Rollins Road. Example: An expansive sidewalk creates a desirable public realm. Example: Planted buffers visibly separate transportation modes. Example: The feeling of enclosure can be created with multiple elements. Example: The building facade and sidewalk define the public realm. 4.2.4.4 Sidewalk Zones At a minimum, the sidewalk zones must meet the width requirements in Chapter 5, Development Standards. Walk zones and planter zones occur within all street types. Amenity zones occur where possible along Rollins Road within the Plan Area. Increased sidewalk zone widths are encouraged to promote and encourage an active street, especially along the Plan Area's main spine of Rollins Road. Sidewalks and the amenities incorporated should respond to the adjacent buildings and uses wherever feasible. Examples include: increasing the amenity zone outside a cafe to provide outdoor seating, adding a bike rack near a bus stop, or widening the through zone of the sidewalk at the entrance to a building. Walk Zone: The Walk Zone of a sidewalk is the continuous, unencumbered pedestrian path. This is typically the central zone of a sidewalk, with the Planter Zone against the street and the Amenity Zone against the building or property line. The minimum Walk Zone widths are specified in Chapter 5. Planter Zone: The Planter Zone of a sidewalk serves as a buffer between vehicle movement in the street and pedestrian movement. While intended to be planted landscape area, the Planter Zone does not have to be planted for the entire streetscape. It can include art installations, water features, and rideshare waiting areas. Typical features of the Planter Zone include those found in Section 4.2.5.5, Streetscape Landscape Features, Planter Strips. The minimum Planter Zone widths along Rollins Road and are specified in Chapter 5. Amenity Zone: The Amenity Zone abuts the property line and building frontage along Rollins Road. Typically, the programming of the Amenity Zone responds to and supports the adjacent use. These amenities could include, but are not limited to, outdoor dining areas, and seating areas. The minimum Amenity Zone widths are specified in Chapter 5. Increased area dedicated to the Amenity Zone behind the property line (in a Public Access Agreement) is encouraged when aligned with an activating adjacent use. Example: Sidewalk Zones of an urban sidewalk. Example: Sidewalk Zones give character to the sidewalk. Flex Zone The Flex Zone is the roadway abutting the curb. This area, identified in Chapter 3, can host on -street parallel parking or be re -purposed to create space for people. Variations of the Flex Zone include parking, extended curb, and amenities. Parking uses the right-of-way for on - street parallel parking. Extended Curb increases the amount of sidewalk available for pedestrian use. Amenities increases the amenity or planter zones for more space dedicated to pedestrians. The Flex Zone should be evaluated along the entirety of Rollins Road and as it fronts specific developments when right-of-way designs and improvements are undertaken. Example: Pedestrian and cyclist safety should be a priority in all streetscape designs. Example: Planter strip should serve as a buffer from traffic. 4.2.4.5 Streetscape Features The streetscapes within the Plan Area will include public realm improvements that will help identify the district and encourage walkability. A consistent pattern and spacing should be maintained with streetscape features, amenities, planting, and lighting. Rhythmic patterns of features and amenities will engage the streetscape. Curb -cuts and Driveways: New curb -cuts and driveways are discouraged. If feasible, adjacent sites should share driveway access. Curb -cuts and driveways should be minimized for pedestrian and active transportation priority in all possible instances. Example: A continuous pedestrian realm is encouraged along Rollins Road. Example: Pedestrian paths take precedent over vehicle driveways. I Bulb -out Crossings: Bulb -out crossings provide safer pedestrian crossing by reducing the vehicular area of a street that a pedestrian must cross, slowing vehicular traffic, and increasing visibility of pedestrians crossing the street. In all instances, where a paseo meets a street, a bulb -out crossings should be considered to align the pedestrian and open space network. Bulb -out crossing location opportunities are identified in Chapter 3. Bulb -outs are encouraged to include supplemental sidewalk amenities and planting zones features, including, but not limited to: seating, bike racks, and irrigated planter strips. Enhanced Crossings: An enhanced crossing should be used to announce the presence of a crossing zone. It also slows vehicular traffic as it passes the crossing zone by many means, such as material changes, slight grade elevation changes, or lighting. Enhanced crossings should be used in conjunction with a bulb -out crossing when possible. Location opportunities for enhanced crossings are identified in Chapter 3. Gateways: Arrival to the Plan Area should be announced with wayfinding and gateway elements where there is transition from an adjacent neighborhood and/or at key entry points to designate arrival as well as distinguish the area's character. Gateway features may include, but are not limited to, pageantry signage, art installations, arches, pillars, iconic landscaping features, and other monumental features that announce entry into the Plan Area and establish neighborhood identity. Example: An Enhanced and bulb -out crossing. Example: A change in materials draws attention to the enhanced crossing. ~ r R London :r lBridge Example: Gateway feature could be dual -use for art or seating. Example: Planter bio-treatment opportunities with hardy planting. Example: Simple plant palettes that provide year round interest. Example: Linear swaths of consistent planting. Potential location(s) for gateway features are identified in Chapter 3. Planter strips: Planter strips are landscaping features that act as a physical and aesthetic buffer from vehicular areas. Planter strips are typically found within the Planter Zone. Integration of stormwater management techniques into the planter strips is encouraged. Irrigated planter strips are recommended to be a minimum of 4' long and no longer than 40' without a pavement break to allow access to street parking. Planter strip planting should consist primarily of evergreen plantings with accent colors and texture for year-round interest. Palettes should combine colors, textures and heights to create a visually attractive edge. Plant selection should minimize hedging, shearing, water use and sidewalk overhang. Native plants and pollinators are encouraged. Street trees: Street trees provide many benefits to urban environments. All development in the Plan Area must include street trees. Tree species should be planted in blocks to create character along stretches of the street network. To avoid a potentially adverse impact from a species monoculture, a short list of trees are preferred in the Plan Area, all approved per the City's Official Street Tree List. Refer to the City's Urban Forest Management Plan when proposing trees not listed on the Official Street Tree List. On Rollins Road, the street trees shall be Platanus acerifolia 'Columbia' (London Plane Tree), Ulmus (Hybrid), or Quercus rubra (Red Oak). Street trees should be planted in the irrigated planter strip. The spacing will be 35' maximum when possible and as close to 35' with regard to driveways and circulation conflicts. Trees will be a consistent size and shape to continue a regular pattern along the corridor. On Adrian Road, the street trees shall be Magnolia grandiflora (Southern Magnolia), Acer rubrum (Red Maple), or Robinia ambigua (Idaho Locust). Street trees should be planted in the irrigated planter strip. The spacing will be 35' maximum when possible and as close to 35' with regard to driveways and circulation conflicts. On the cul-de-sac streets, the street trees spacing will be 25' maximum when possible, and as close to 25' with regard to driveway and circulation conflicts. Street trees must be a minimum of 24" box when planted. Tree placement should be coordinated with the fire department in regards to full tree canopy impacting emergency access. Example: Platanus acerifolia 'Columbia; (London Plane Tree). Example: Magnoliagrandiflora; (Southern Magnolia). Examples: Street trees provide rhythm and a sense of enclosure to a street. Example: Unsightly but necessary elements should be screened. See Exhibit 4.3, Street Tree Map, for the species and spacing requirements on all streets within the Plan Area. Landscape as screening. Landscaped areas and planting should be used to screen unsightly but necessary building elements and utilities. n S � Platanusacerifolia'Columbia'I35'o.c.

Source: GATES O 4.2.5 Streetscape Objective Design Standards • Where pedestrian circulation crosses a vehicular travel zone, a change in material, color, or grade is required. • No surface parking shall located between Rollins Road and the adjacent buildings. • Evergreen landscaping, walls, or building architecture shall be used to screen above grade utilities, and trash or storage enclosures. Example: Streetscape elements can add character and dimension. 1 M Example: Changes in material and color highlight pedestrian crossing vehicle travel. • Landscape must permit adequate sight distance for vehicular and non -vehicular circulation. • All new landscape areas must have irrigation installed that complies with MWELO and BMC Chapter 18.17, Water Conservation in Landscape. Example: Seating and planting can create unique places along the street. Example: Integrated stormwater management into planters and seating. Example: Seating can define an edge and create a place. a N. Example: Site furnishing can include seating, tables, and games. Example: Streetscope features can connect to outdoor gathering spaces. Example: Seating can be incorporated along planter edges. 4.2.6 Site Furnishing Guidelines Street furnishings and site amenities occur within the Amenity, Planter, or Flex Zones of a sidewalk and provide aesthetic quality and function to the public realm. The proper installation of these features will contribute to the overall character and sense of place to the district. Unique street furniture for outdoor dining and gathering is encouraged. Furnishings are encouraged to integrate creative features and artistic characteristics. Sidewalks should be richly appointed with improvements and facilities that enhance the pedestrian experience, but should avoid clutter and congestion in the path of travel. Amenities should generally be located in high activity areas where people are expected to congregate, such as plazas, transit stops, building entries and retail or entertainment nodes. Amenities should contribute to the community identity and reflect or strengthen the local character. 4.2.6.1 Bicycle Parking Bike racks can serve both a functional role and contribute to the unique character of the Plan Area by providing visual interest as public art elements. Bike racks should be conveniently located near transit stops, building entries and public gathering spaces. Bike racks should allow for convenient visual surveillance. Bicycle parking shall allow for securing bicycle frame and one wheel. Weather protection should be considered when possible. Bicycle parking areas should provide space for shared bike and/or e-scooter parking. Shared bike and/or e-scooter parking may occur within dedicated sidewalk or street space. 4.2.6.2 Seating Opportunities Spaces for respite, waiting, and interacting are essential to cultivating an environment where people can dwell. Seating opportunities should be utilized in varying types, groupings and locations to accommodate a wide range of users and functions. Seating opportunities should consider sun exposure. Artful seating should be considered. Seating elements should complement adjacent use patterns. For example, seating near dining should accommodate eating. Example: Site furnishings will contribute to the overall street character. Example: Functional, artful elements are encouraged. f r s -- � 1 - Example: A variety of seating opportunities provide choice for users and create inviting outdoor spaces. 400 RECYCLE V LANDFILL Example: District -branded trash and recycling receptacles. Example: Memorable trash and recycling receptacles. Example: Art can take the form of subtle additions. 4.2.6.3 Public Art Art in Public Places, a development requirement in Chapter 5, can be fulfilled by incorporating art into the landscaped areas of the development. Public art gives personality to a space, and is encouraged to meet the Plan Area's artisan - influenced, edgy and unique character. 4.2.6.4 Trash Receptacles Frequent opportunities for refuse disposal help to reduce litter and unsightly collection of rubbish. Trash receptacles should complement the adjacent furnishings in style and finish. Artful design is encouraged. Trash, recycling, and compost receptacles should be in close proximity to seating areas. Emptying of trash receptacles should be managed by the adjacent property owners. Example: Brightly colored objects add flash and character to create a memorable space. 4.2.7 Lighting Light fixtures should be spaced to provide even distribution and avoid conflicts with trees and other amenities. Lighting should be designed to contribute to the overall character of the Plan Area. Roadway lighting. Roadway lighting refers to lighting fixtures that illuminate vehicular areas. Roadway light posts should accommodate potential banners and/or hanging plant elements and be consistent with City standards. Pedestrian lighting. Pedestrian lighting refers to lighting fixtures that illuminate pedestrian areas. For safety and aesthetic appeal, pedestrian lighting should be provided on all streets. Lights posts should accommodate potential banners and/or hanging plant elements. Lighted bollards: Lighted bollards should be provided at key building entries and plaza spaces. Accent lighting: Accent lighting is encouraged to emphasize focal elements. Decorative lighting. Decorative lighting is encouraged at outdoor gathering locations to provide visual interest. Tt� Example: Roadway lighting featuring banners. Example: Pedestrian lighting placed to illuminate pedestrian areas. Example: Lighted Bollards provide illumination along pedestrian walkways and at increase light levels at building entries. Example: Decorative lighting provides visual interest and may be used to accent features of landscape design. Example: A variety of lighting to illuminate the public realm. Example: Unusual lighting techniques can add character. Example: Multiple sources decorative lighting, from above and below. 4.2.8 Lighting Objective Design Standards: • Roadway light fixtures on North Rollins Road and Adrian Road must be 35'-40' in height. Illumination levels shall meet minimums set by Public Works. • Pedestrian lights must be provided at transit stops. • Lights shall be shielded to minimize glare. • Building entries, alleys, passageways, paseos, and recesses shall have a minimum illumination of one foot candle after sunset. • Lighting shall be located to avoid light spillage onto adjacent property. Example: Decorative lighting can contribute ambiance. Example: Accent lighting to emphasize linear paseo. 4.3 Site and Building Design Guidelines This Section provides site and building design guidelines for the various types of buildings permitted within the private realm in the Plan Area. The overall design intent of the Design Guidelines is to provide for an eclectic mix of residential, live/work, commercial, and light industrial development that has an industrial and contemporary character. 4.3.1 Site Design The following general site and building design guidelines apply to all building types and locations within the Plan Area. 4.3.1.1 Parking Lots and Garages a. Structured parking facing public streets should be fronted or wrapped with actively occupied spaces such as storefronts, live/work units, residential community amenities, and lobbies. Access to parking shall be designed so that it is not prominent and ties into the adjacent architectural style. b. Ingress and egress to and from parking areas and loading facilities should be clearly marked with appropriate directional signage and/or pavement markings. c. All parking areas and access driveways should be designed to minimize intermodal conflicts in design and maximize pedestrian safety. d. Pedestrian routes should have separate, well-defined and easily discernible routes through parking areas. Example: Parking structure utilizes a combination of exterior art and fenestration to reduce impacts upon the public realm. _Jrf_+''� Example: Clearly defined pedestrian route through parking areas. Example: A network of pedestrian pathways connects various open spaces and buildings throughout a site. e. Any surface parking facilities should be located to the side or rear of any proposed project and aesthetically minimized to the greatest extent feasible. f. Parking lots and garages should be accessed from secondary streets. Access driveways from Rollins Road should be avoided. g. Vehicular entrances to parking garages should be clearly marked with appropriate signage. h. Parking garage entrances and exits should be limited to minimize the amount of curb - cuts made to access public rights -of -way, especially along Rollins Road. On parcels with two street frontages, primary access to parking areas should connect to the smaller of the two roads, as feasible. 4.3.1.2 Loading and Service Areas a. Unenclosed service and loading areas should be screened from residential areas and integrated with the design of the building. Special attention should be given when designing loading facilities that are located close to residential uses. Techniques such as block walls, enhanced setbacks, or enclosed loading can be used to minimize adverse impacts to residents. 4.3.1.3 Pedestrian Access On -site pedestrian circulation and access should be provided per the following guidelines: a. A system of pedestrian walkways should connect all buildings on a site to each other, to on -site automobile and bicycle parking areas, and to any on -site open space areas or pedestrian amenities. b. Regular and convenient connections at least ten (10) feet in width between on - site walkways and the public sidewalk and other existing or planned pedestrian routes, such as safe routes to school, should be provided. An on -site walkway should connect the primary building entry or entries to a public sidewalk on each street frontage. c. Safe and convenient pedestrian connections shall be provided via paved and lighted pathways from transit stops to adjacent building entrances. 4.3.1.4 Building Fire Access a. Private property site development shall consider fire apparatus access roads in accordance with the California Fire Code so the furthest point of any building is within 150' of a public way/fire access road. Fire access roads longer than 150 feet in length require an approved turnaround for circulation in accordance with Fire Department specifications. b. Sprinkler/standpipe fire department connections shall be within 5 feet of a sidewalk and must be within 100 feet of a fire hydrant. Clearance to and around the fire department connection required for firefighter use. 4.3.2 Building Typology and Character The architectural character of buildings and structures helps create and reinforce the identity of a neighborhood. The Plan Area, as it exists today, includes industrial and warehouse uses and an aesthetic that can be characterized as "gritty" and unique within the City. As redevelopment occurs in the project area, the goal of a blended approach that retains existing uses and context can also be applied to the architectural character of the buildings. That said, very ornate architecture that resembles Colonial, Neoclassical, Craftsman, or Italianate characteristics is not appropriate for the project area and is not recommended. These guidelines and examples are not intended to establish a particular architectural style for the project area. Rather, they focus on how a neighborhood's recognizable identity can be created through a building's exterior expression and details. These guidelines and examples are to be used with the general urban design guidelines and standards. Development within the Specific Plan Area includes residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed -uses, as discussed below. Example: Podium and wrap structure open spaces provide outdoor open space and recreational opportunities. Example: Mixed -use Live/work development, featuring commercial or office space on the ground floor. Hi Example: Development provides direct, safe and convenient access to adjacent transit opportunities. Example: Wrap building features central parking garage, wrapped by residential units. Example: Attached townhouse development. May feature live/work space on the ground floor. Example: Stacked flat building. Single -level floorplates are vertically stacked and accessed from a central lobby and parking area. 4.3.2.1 Residential Typology and Character The following sections describe the typology and character of residential buildings within the Plan Area. Residential Typology Residential buildings within the Specific Plan Area refers to stand-alone residential projects where there are no non-residential components as well as primarily residential buildings where less than 5% of the building floor area is not ancillary to a residential use. Residential building typologies include, but are not limited to: townhouses, stacked flats, wraps, and podium style construction with density ranges of approximately 18 du/ac to 100 du/ac inclusive of density bonuses, and building heights of 3- to 7-stories. Townhouse Buildings. Three or more dwelling units attached in a building, typically at the sides, but stacking of units or flats may occur. Townhouse buildings are alley loaded with entry stoops/porches to each unit that leads to a pedestrian path or paseo, promoting walkability and enhancing the pedestrian experience. Townhouse buildings can have finer levels of articulation compared to stacked flat buildings by designing facades to express each individual unit. • Stacked Flats. Stacked flat buildings are also alley loaded and share a central lobby space that fronts onto a landscaped path or street frontage. Stacked flat buildings will be designed to be larger than townhouse buildings and are vertically stacked; these buildings would be appropriate on busier street frontages since a more urban street character is desired. These buildings offer units with a larger, one -level floor plate which may appeal to demographics seeking accessible living spaces. • Wrap Buildings. Wrap buildings include attached flats, lofts, and/or townhouse units oriented around a central parking structure. Ground -level programming may include residential units, lobby space, amenities, and/or retail uses. Main recreational amenities are typically provided at -grade in a courtyard or on the rooftop. Wrap buildings commonly include a series of courtyard open spaces for its residents. • Podium Buildings. Podium buildings have attached flats, lofts and/or townhouses located on top of a parking garage that may be either on -grade, subterranean or both. Ground -level programming may include residential units, lobby space, amenities, and/or retail uses, and parking garages (hidden behind aforementioned uses). Main recreational amenities in this building are typically provided on top of the podium structure in a courtyard, or upon the roof. • Other forms of residential buildings that meet the density and building height standards are also permitted and encouraged. Residential Character Residential buildings should be designed to fit into the industrial context and neighboring development as best possible. A mix of housing types appealing to a wide variety of residents and family sizes is encouraged, with housing density being focused near Rollins Road. MIN Example: Podium building featuring two -stories parking garage on lower levels. Example: Five -story podium structure includes parking on lower stories with dwelling units located above. Example: Townhouses may be used as a transitional density between high -density development and existing neighborhoods adjacent to the Plan Area. Example: Commercial development includes flat roof features and design that is compatible with industrial development. Example: Walkable, neighborhood -serving commercial uses, such as coffee shops and small groceries. Example: Commercial development includes a materials palette that is compatible with a gritty' industrial character. 4.3.2.2 Commercial Typology and Character The following sections describe the typology and character of commercial development within the Plan Area. Commercial Typology Commercial development within the Specific Plan Area refers to stand-alone commercial projects. In a mixed -use district the vehicular trips to commercial uses are reduced by increasing walkability in an area. The Design Guidelines ensure that commercial development is designed to promote walkability and contribute positively to neighborhood identity. Commercial Character Commercial buildings in the project area can be either stand-alone or integrated into a vertical mixed -use building. The intended character of commercial uses within the Plan Area is boutique, artisan -inspired, locally owned and artistically oriented. Where appropriate, commercial uses should interface with the public realm and incorporate experiential retail and outdoor dining adjacent to and within the public realm. 4.3.2.3 Industrial Typology and Character The following sections describe the typology and character of industrial development within the Plan Area. Industrial Typology The Plan Area is historically a part of an industrial district. These Design Guidelines preserve and build upon the industrial character and ensure that future industrial buildings are aesthetically compatible with other buildings within the Plan Area. Industrial Character The Plan Area has a rich history as an industrial district within the City of Burlingame. Over time as the economy of the City has changed, different forms of industrial development are preferred. A "gritty" or eclectic warehouse district character is encouraged and should be implemented such that the industrial feel of the Plan Area is preserved and remains the defining feature of north Rollins Road area. Example: Industrial development featuring a flat roof form. Example: Industrial development utilizing public art to enhance an area while maintaining its character. Example: Commercial use implementing a pitched roof form. Example: Mixed -use development with non-residential uses on the ground floor, and dwelling units in upper stories. Example: Mixed -use development with non-residential uses on the ground floor, and dwelling units on upper stories. Example: Mixed -use building utilizes consistent and compatible design language between residential and non- residential portions of development. 4.3.2.4 Mixed -Use Typology and Character Recognizing the varied commercial and industrial character of the area, new buildings and redevelopment projects are encouraged to feature a blend of both commercial and residential design features, including modern, industrial type building design. The following sections describe the typology and character of mixed -use portions of developments within the Plan Area. Mixed -Use Typology Mixed -use development within the Plan Area may include a range of residential, retail, office, and neighborhood -serving commercial uses. The physical and visual integration of these elements will activate the urban, mixed -use character of the district. Mixed -use development may occur vertically (varying uses within the same structure on different floors) or horizontally (different uses spread out in separate buildings across a site), and will typically include a residential component in the form of a wrap- or podium -construction building. Shopkeeper or live/work units may occur as a type of mixed -use development in any residential typology. Mixed -Use Character Mixed -Use buildings in the project area refers to a building that has a vertical mix of residential and commercial/retail uses. These buildings typically range from 3-story to 7 stories or more. A mixed -use building should present a cohesive design theme between land uses. 4.3.3 Residential Architectural Guidelines Residential buildings within the Plan Area should be designed to create a cohesive neighborhood feel within the mixed -use district. Guidelines herein apply to stand-alone residential developments. 4.3.3.1 Site Planning Guidelines a. Buildings should be arranged to create a variety of outdoor spaces, such as courtyards, plazas, squares, eating areas, and other usable open spaces that promote human activity. 4.3.3.2 Building Orientation A building's orientation plays an essential role in determining how a building interacts with the public realm. a. The main building of a residential development should be oriented to face a public street. Building frontages should be generally parallel to streets. Orientation towards an adjacent paseo, plaza or open space is also encouraged. 4.3.3.3 Building Entries Building entries provide an opportunity to provide a space for transition between the building interior and the public realm. a. Where buildings occur on corner lots, primary entrances should face the intersection, or include entries on both street frontages. b. Multi -unit residential buildings with a common ground -level lobby or pedestrian entry should implement increased detailing surrounding the entry to generate interest. 1.111 IF On J_ Eii NOON Example: Building constructed at, or near, the minimum building setback creates a sense of enclosure for the pedestrian realm. Example: Main portions of development are oriented to face the public -realm. 1, Example: Development features a primary entryfacing the street intersection. Example: Transitional space between the public and private realm. Example: Flat roof forms are the typical expected roof form for residential developments within the Plan Area. IP-1- - . i ai 11 owl w Irk Example: Vertical roof plane breaks divide the vertical massing and rooflines into sections. c. New residential buildings should provide pedestrian elements in the transitional spaces between the primary street and entrances.

Offset forms should include appropriate changes in materials and colors. b. Offset forms should be consistent with the architectural style of the building and incorporated as a functional element or detail enhancement. Wrap, podium and mixed -use buildings should have varied wall planes. Stepped massing and layered wall planes may include: • Cantilevered masses or balconies. • Recessed masses or inset balconies. • Volume spaces. • Common open spaces. Facades Facade articulation can be used to facilitate the interplay of light and depth upon a building to generate interest and help reduce the appearance of bulk upon the public realm: d. Buildings should be articulated with layered wall planes, banding, architectural details and/or accent materials and colors. e. Large expanses of reflective, opaque, or highly -tinted glass are discouraged. f. Details that modulate the light and show evidence of artistry and craft, or that offer both function and articulation, are Example: Cornice elements are well -integrated with the building's overall design in both form and materials. Example: Facade articulated with layered wall planes and architectural details. Example: Recessed massings above the first floor and lower height entry features increase facade articulation. 0� RI lu k` A Example: Awnings are an example of functional ornamentation, providing both shade and articulation. Example: Lower height elements such as a courtyard, decorative pillars and landscaping, establish pedestrian scale. Example: Perceived bulk of the building is reduced by using courtyards to break up the massing and divide the building into sections. encouraged. This includes window shutters, awnings, and louvers that are proportional to the window size and detailed with more geometric and simple lines. g. Lower height elements, such as recessed massings above the first floor, porches, entry features, courtyards, and pergolas are encouraged to establish pedestrian scale and add variety to the streetscene. h. The perceived height and bulk of a building is encouraged to be reduced by incorporating courtyards and ground level architectural details, to divide the building into sections and maintain human scale. Building elevations within Focus Area 2 facing the railroad right-of-way can have larger massings and wall planes than the general requirements to help mitigate noise impacts from trains.

Given that a majority of existing buildings in the project area have flat roofs, pitched roof forms with contemporary materials that recall sawtooth, shed, gable, or similar roof forms of commercial and industrial buildings may be allowed per the determination of the Review Authority. b. Vertical roof plane breaks, changes in roof lines or ridge height or other accent roof forms are encouraged. c. Form, materials, fascia and/or cornice elements should be integrated with the overall design vocabulary. d. Parapets, when used, should be contiguous and incorporate side/rear elevation returns. e. If utilized, roofing tile material should be compatible with the architectural style of the building. Wooden roofs are prohibited for fire safety. f. Exterior lighting should be located to avoid light spillage onto adjacent property, especially when adjacent to residential or mixed -use development. 4.3.6.4 Facade Articulation Commercial buildings should incorporate articulation to generate pedestrian scale and visual interest along the streetscape. a. Architectural design of buildings should minimize blank walls, especially when situated adjacent streets or walkways. b. When buildings of a single form and height are used, these buildings should be articulated with layered wall planes, banding, architectural details and/or materials. c. Large expanses of reflective, opaque, or highly -tinted glass are discouraged. d. Artwork is encouraged for retail buildings to help create a dynamic and interesting streetscene. e. Details that modulate the light and show evidence of artistry and craft are encouraged. f. Projections, overhangs, recesses, banding and architectural details should be used to provide shadow, articulation and scale to building elevations. g. Facades facing streets should provide a minimum of 50% fenestration on the ground floor to generate pedestrian interest. Percentage of fenestration shall be calculated based on the length of the facade frontage and the floor -to -ceiling height of the ground floor. Example: Vertical roof plane breaks and changes in building height. Example: Facades facing the street implement a minimum of 50% fenestration on the ground floor facing the public realm. Example: Parking areas screened from the street using landscaping. 4.3.6.5 Materials and Color a. The following techniques should be used in the design of building facades to enhance building architecture: • Color change and color variation. • At least three (3) different exterior materials and (3) different colors. • Changes in texture. • Exterior materials, windows and details should be consistent with the scale, proportion and architectural style of the building. • Major building entries should be emphasized using accent colors and materials. • Material and color changes should occur at an inside corner or massing underside, or at an appropriate location on the building facade such as a massing projection or architectural accent feature. • Bars and security grills on windows and doors are prohibited. • Vibrant and dynamic colors and materials are encouraged to help create an interesting and colorful environment in the Plan Area. To avoid monotonous and understated buildings, neutral -tones color palettes are discouraged. 4.3.6.6 Parking and Loading Areas The following guidelines apply to commercial parking areas to reduce visual impacts upon the public realm and reduce conflicts between cars, pedestrians, and cyclists to the greatest extent feasible. a. Commercial parking areas should be connected to public sidewalks, trails, and walkways where feasible. b.

These guidelines are intended to manage the visual and physical impacts of industrial development upon the public realm while preserving the economic potential and operational capacity of industrial development within the Plan Area. 4.3.7.1 Site Planning Guidelines a. Buildings should be arranged to create a variety of outdoor spaces, such as courtyards, plazas, squares, eating areas, and other usable open spaces that promote human activity. b. Where future buildings are adjacent to Rollins Road, they shall be oriented towards Rollins Road and include a pedestrian entrance from this street. c. All ground -floor uses fronting onto the street should include at least one primary entrance facing the adjacent street right-of- way. 4.3.7.2 Building Orientation a. Street -facing industrial buildings should be designed to emphasize the view of non- industrial interior areas, such as primary entryways, foyers, and offices from the street. b. The location, configuration, size, and design of new or remodeled industrial buildings should be compatible with the character and quality of surrounding sites, buildings, and structures. Example: Industrial development featuring a flat roof form. Example: Industrial development utilizing expansive wall - planes to create visual interest with public art. Example: Non -industrial portions of industrial development, such as offices and entryways, face the street. Example: Vertical plane breaks reduce the overall appearance of bulk. Example: Industrial development utilizing sculpture upon facade to reference industry and craft, and contribute to an interesting streetscape. Example: Overall massing of development reduced by breaking building into smaller sections. c. Buffers should be incorporated from adjacent mixed -use or residential development to protect these uses from noise, vibration and/or odors resulting from the industrial use. 4.3.7.3 Articulation Offset Massing and Forms a. Offset forms should include appropriate changes in materials and colors. b. Offsets forms should be consistent with the architectural style of the building and incorporated as a functional element or detail enhancement. Facades c. Large unbroken expanses should be avoided. Facades should be broken into smaller sections by incorporating vertical and horizontal plane breaks that reduce overall appearance of bulk. d. Exterior walls should generate visual interest through the use of colors, materials, and/or art is encouraged. Murals and signage on large wall areas enliven a building facade to create a visually interesting streetscape and help define a creative artistic character for the North Rollins Road area. e. Facade details, such as score lines, windows, paint or minor materials changes, are not acceptable substitutes for substantial breaks in massing and form. f. Eaves, canopies, awnings and overhangs that provide shade and articulation are encouraged. g. Buildings should be articulated with layered wall planes, banding, architectural details and/or accent materials and colors. Architectural Projections h. Projections may be used to emphasize design features such as entries, major windows, or outdoor space. Projections are encouraged on all residential building forms. Projections include, but are not limited to: • Awnings (cloth, metal, wood). • Roof overhangs. • Projecting upper -story elements. • Tower elements. • Window/door surrounds. • Recessed windows. • Bay windows or dormers. • Trellis elements. • Porch or balcony elements. 4.3.7.4 Rooflines a. Roof forms should be flat; however, pitched roof forms with contemporary materials (such as standing seam metal and thermoplastic polyofin (TPO) that recall sawtooth, shed, gable, or similar appropriate to the architectural style of the buildings are allowed. b. Vertical roof plane breaks, changes in building/ridge height or other accent roof forms are encouraged. c. Rooftop equipment should be shielded or integrated into the building design from view of street. d. Roofing material (including solar panels) shall not be highly reflective, and is encouraged to be a light color to reduce solar heat gain. 4.3.7.5 Materials and Color a. The following techniques should be used in the design of building facades to enhance building architecture: • Color change and color variation. • At least three (3) different exterior materials and (3) different colors. • Changes in texture. • Exterior materials, windows and details should be consistent with the scale, proportion and architectural style of the building. • Major building entries should be emphasized using accent colors and materials. • Material and color changes shall occur at an inside corner or massing underside, or at an appropriate location on the building facade such as a massing projection or architectural accent feature. • Bars and security grills on windows and doors are prohibited. • Vibrant and dynamic colors and materials are encouraged to help create an interesting and colorful environment in the Plan Area. To avoid monotonous and understated buildings, neutral -tones color palettes are discouraged. Example: Clearly defined pedestrian entry that faces the street, with architectural breaks in the facade. Example: Application of multiple colors and materials creates visual interest in the public realm. Example: Commercial loading area utilizes art and decorative door to reduce impacts on the public realm. 4.3.7.6 Parking and Loading Areas a. Parking areas should be located to the side or rear of the building, away from the primary street frontage. b. Loading areas should be located to the side or rear of the building where feasible and shall be screened from the view of the public realm. c. Trash storage areas should be screened from public view. Screening methods should utilize landscaping or an architecturally consistent enclosure. d. Where feasible, loading and delivery areas should be located away from adjacent residential development. e.

Building stepbacks of upper floors on buildings four stories or taller are encouraged to provide a massing and scale transition to the lower -scale development to the south. b. Provide at least one pedestrian and bicyclist access point along the windrows edge per project. c. Lower -scale multi -unit residential such as townhouses may have low-pitched roof forms such as shed, gable and hip, to help transition to the existing single -unit detached neighborhood across the railroad tracks. 4.3.8.5 4.3.8.5 Focus Area 5 Focus Area 5 encompasses the PG&E Utility and stormdrain easements that traverses the Plan Area. All development within Focus Area 5 must be consistent with the specified restrictions of the easement. 4.4 Sustainability Guidelines The Specific Plan provides a sustainability framework that can be implemented through a variety of project -specific design solutions, as each future development shall be designed and constructed towards LEED-equivalent standards. The most appropriate project -specific design features will be determined at the individual development approval stage based, in part, upon feasibility and overall sustainability. Future development shall comply will City of Burlingame Reach Codes (Ord 1980 and 1981). 4.4.1 Building Design The following recommendations are provided to encourage future developers to explore opportunities for energy efficiency within the Plan Area: a. Utilize passive sustainability design strategies where feasible to minimize overall energy consumption needed to heat and cool the building. These strategies include daylighting, natural sources of heating and cooling, operable windows, shading on south facing windows, ceiling fans, well -designed building envelopes with high-U values (insulation rating). b. Encourage coordination with PG&E to identify opportunities, optimize energy infrastructure while minimizing cost and avoid barriers that may prevent future entry or expansion of energy efficient systems. c. Implement EV systems that may expand over time, since retrofits for EV systems are difficult to accomplish. d. Where feasible, utilize solar thermal to heat water for pools and spas. Example: Cool Roof Installation Source: New York City Example: Green Roof reduces heat-island effect and provides outdoor space. 4.4.2 Energy Conservation The Project provides a number of potential solar sites. In addition to the roof -top solar zones, potential locations for solar PV panels include expanded solar zones on individual buildings, parking shade structures (atop parking structures or in surface lots), pool shading structures, picnic area shading and trellis features. a. Where provided, PV panels visible from the street or other prominently visible locations shall be aesthetically integrated into building designs. 4.4.3 Lighting Proper lighting design has many benefits including energy savings, reduced sky -glow, and improved quality of life. Solar -powered lighting and energy efficient lighting can reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing emissions and improving air quality. Proper lighting design promotes safety, eliminates light trespass onto adjacent properties, minimizes the impact to nocturnal animals, and minimizes disruption to human's circadian rhythms to promote better sleep and healthier communities. The following includes sustainable lighting guidelines that should be considered by future developers: a. High -efficacy solid-state light emitting diode (LED) lighting for outdoor applications, including signage. b. Appropriate color spectral distribution to reduce glare and enhance safety and navigation. 4.4.4 Minimizing Heat Island The Specific Plan addresses the heat island effect by providing the majority of parking in structures or below ground, significantly reducing the amount of paving on -site. Additional guidelines to reduce the heat island effect include the following. a. For surface parking lots, plant evergreen canopy trees to meet the parking lot tree requirements described in Section 5.7, Off - Street Parking Standards. Trees above the minimum amount required in said Section are encouraged. b. Encourage the use of low albedo (reflection coefficient) materials in paving, roofing and building materials to reflect rather than absorb incoming solar radiation. c. Encourage green roofs. d. Discourage the use of artificial turf, as it contributes to the heat island effect. 4.4.5 Water Conservation The Plan encourages water conservation within the Plan Area by implementing the following guidelines: a. All development within the Plan Area shall comply with BMC Chapter 18.17, Water Conservation in Landscape. b. Greywater recycling programs are encouraged to be implemented where feasible. 4.4.6 Organic Waste Recycling SB 1383 requires all jurisdictions within California to provide organic waste collection services to single -unit detached and multi -unit residences and businesses of all sizes beginning January 1, 2022. a. All developments within the Plan Area shall comply with SB 1383 by implementing recycling programs for both green waste and food waste, as well as other organic waste materials per SB 1383.

Action Required By Development Process Approvals Community p pp Planning Development Commission City Council Director Granting of Variances (BMC Chapter 25.16) • Conditional Use Permit (BMC Chapter 25.16) • Tentative Tract Map Approval (BMC Chapter 26.08) • Specific Plan Use Interpretations • Specific Plan Amendments (Section 6.7.2) • • Art in Public Places Review (Section 6.8) • Modifications to Table 6.2 — Maximum • Development Analyzed Per CEQA (Section 6.6) Approval of Community Benefit Bonuses (Section • 6.10) Design Review, including deviation from objective • design standards (Section 6.10) 6.4 Project Phasing Redevelopment of the Specific Plan area will take place over time. As the majority of the parcels within the plan area are privately owned, redevelopment upon these parcels will be initiated by the property owner according to the regulations of this Specific Plan. Streetscaping improvements may be initiated by the City of Burlingame as funds are made available. It is recommended that streetscaping improvements identified for Rollins Road occur first with other improvements to the public realm taking place subsequently, radiating outwards from Rollins Road towards the boundaries of the Specific Plan area. The City of Burlingame may implement comprehensive street improvements to any or all rights -of -way within the Plan Area. 6.5 Financing A successful mixed -use district requires a high standard of street and landscaping improvements in order to create a positive multi -modal experience as well as provide the space and access appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial uses. These types of improvements will be initiated by the City of Burlingame and as a part of the redevelopment process of the district. Several types of financing strategies and tools are available for financing district -wide improvements such as those found in The North Rollins Specific Plan. It is anticipated that the Specific Plan area will be redeveloped overtime using a combination of these strategies and tools which could include, but are not limited to, the strategies indicated in Sections 6.5.1 through 6.5.4. 6.5.1 Bonds Street and landscaping improvements may be funded via the issuance of municipal bonds. 6.5.2 Assessment District Special assessment districts, such as those permitted by the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, the Improvement Bond act of 1915, and the Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Act of 1972, provide methods of leveraged financing whereby a public entity determines an area in which the provision of facilities will benefit real property. A special assessment district may be created for the Specific Plan area to cover improvements to properties benefitting from infrastructure and streetscaping improvements. This financing tool can be used for public improvements that directly benefit specific properties that are assessed to pay for the improvements at no risk to public agency general funds; however, benefit assessment districts may be difficult to form in areas with existing development. 6.5.3 Maintenance or Community Benefit District a. A maintenance district could be created to fund the ongoing maintenance of the streetscape and open space within the Plan Area. The City may wish to negotiate the creation of such a district as a condition of constructing the streetscape and open space improvements. b. Community parks and pocket parks dedicated to the City shall comply with City standards and will be maintained by city staff. It will be the responsibility of the developer and/or property owner to maintain paseos and other open space areas that are not dedicated to the City. c. A community benefit district could be created to fund improvements and the ongoing maintenance of the streetscape and open space within the Plan Area. Community benefit districts may be administered by a private corporation or by the City of Burlingame. 6.5.4 Infrastructure Financing a. The storm drain and flood control systems shall be funded and constructed by the developer, Community Facilities District (or other similar mechanism), or some combination thereof. b. The backbone water facilities and infrastructure shall be owned, operated, and serviced by the City of Burlingame. Any necessary improvements to the water system as a result of development shall be borne by the developer. c. The backbone sewer facilities and infrastructure shall be owned and operated by the City of Burlingame. Any necessary improvements to the sewer system as a result of development shall be borne by the developer. d. Telephone, electricity, gas lines, and cable television lines shall be installed and maintained by the appropriate utility companies. 6.6 Maximum Development Analyzed per CEQA Table 6.2 — Maximum Development Analyzed per CEQA, depicts the maximum allowed overall development within the Plan Area determined by the environmental analysis performed for the "Envision Burlingame" General Plan Update. Some office and industrial use square footage analyzed in the General Plan Update was converted into additional multi -unit residential units, as the Specific Plan Area does not permit office uses. As the Plan Area is developed over time, remaining development capacity shall be tracked by the Burlingame Community Development Department. A sample tracker is provided in Appendix A of this Specific Plan. The City may elect to track development within this Specific Plan or as a separate methodology. Residential and non-residential development exceeding the thresholds identified in Table 6.2 is permitted; however, additional environmental review may be required. For residential development within the Plan Area, dwelling units identified in Table 6.2 are "base units." Affordable housing bonuses pursuant to Chapter 25.36 of the BMC and/or the California Government Code may allow developments to exceed both the maximum allowable new development threshold for new dwelling units identified in Table 6.2, as well as maximum development standard densities identified in Table 5.2. These bonuses do not affect non-residential development capacity within the Plan Area. 'TABLEO. ANALYZED PER CEQA Land Use Maximum Allowable New Development Multi -Unit Residential 1,557 dwelling units Commercial Uses 139,266 square feet Office Uses 50,083 square feet Industrial Uses 591,217 square feet If preliminary environmental analysis determines that a project is consistent with previous environmental documents or requires only an addendum, Table 6.2 may be amended upon certification/adoption of the appropriate environmental document pursuant to CEQA and at the discretion of the Community Development Director or his/her designee, per Section 6.7.1(o) of this Specific Plan.

Airport Disclosure Notices. All new development is required to comply with the real estate disclosure requirements of state law. The following statement must be included in the notice of intention to offer the property for sale: "Notice of Airport in Vicinity This property is presently located in the vicinity of an airport, within what is known as an airport influence area. For that reason, the property may be subject to some of the annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to airport operations (for example: noise, vibration, or odors). Individual sensitivities to those annoyances can vary from person to person. You may wish to consider what airport annoyances, if any, are associated with the property before you complete your purchase and determine whether they are acceptable to you." b. Airport Noise Evaluation and Mitigation. Project applicants shall be required to evaluate potential airport noise impacts if the project is located within the sixty-five (65) CNEL contour line of San Francisco International Airport (as mapped in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport). All projects shall be required to mitigate impacts to comply with the interior (CNEL forty-five (45) dB or lower, unless otherwise stated) and exterior noise standards established by the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan or Burlingame General Plan, whichever is more restrictive. c. Avigation Easement. Any action that would either permit or result in the development or construction of a land use considered to be conditionally compatible with aircraft noise of CNEL sixty-five (65) dB or greater (as mapped in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan) shall include the grant of an avigation easement to the City and County of San Francisco prior to issuance of a building permit(s) for any proposed buildings or structures, consistent with Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Policy NP-3 Grant of Avigation Easement. d. Other Flight Hazards. Within Airport Influence Area (AIA) B, certain land use characteristics are recognized as hazards to air navigation and, per SFO ALUCP Policy AP-4, need to be evaluated to ensure compatibility with FAA rules and regulations. These characteristics include the following: 1. Sources of glare, such as highly reflective buildings, building features, or blight lights including search lights, or laser displays, which would interfere with the vision of pilots in command of an aircraft in flight; 2. Distracting lights that could be mistaken for airport identification lightings, runway edge lighting, runway end identification lighting, or runway approach lighting; 3. Sources of dust, smoke, water vapor, or steam that may impair the visibility of a pilot in command of and aircraft in flight; 4. Sources of electrical/electronic interference with aircraft communications/navigation equipment; 5. Any use that creates an increased attraction for wildlife, particularly large flocks of birds, that is inconsistent with FAA rules and regulations, including but not limited to FAA Order 5200.5A, Waste Disposal Site On or Near Airports and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200- 33B, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports and any successor or replacement orders or advisory circulars. 6.10 Review Procedures a.

In accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency shall prepare an Addendum to an EIR if some changes or additions are necessary that will not have significant new impacts or substantially increase previously identified significant impacts. Specifically, the CEQA Guidelines state: ■ The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred (Section 15164(a)); ■ An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration (Section 15164(c)); ■ The decision -making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project (Section 15164(d)); and ■ A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence (Section 15164(e)). This Addendum has been prepared in accordance with relevant provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (as amended) and the CEQA Guidelines. According to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to a previously certified EIR or Negative Declaration is the appropriate environmental document in instances when "only minor technical changes or additions are necessary" and when the new information does not involve new significant environmental effects beyond those identified in the previous EIR. This Addendum describes the details of the proposed North Rollins Specific Plan (herein referred to as "Specific Plan," "proposed project," or "project") and compares impacts to those identified in the 2018 Draft EIR and the Final EIR that was certified in August 2018 for the 2040 General Plan. The analysis demonstrates that the environmental impacts of the proposed Specific Plan are within the scope of the impacts identified in the 2040 General Plan. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) Background 2 Background The North Rollins Specific Plan area is approximately 88.8 acres of land located in the northern portion of the City of Burlingame (the "City"). The existing land uses in the Specific Plan area are primarily commercial service and retail and the existing zoning is Rollins Road Mixed Use (RRMU). The Specific Plan was designed to create a dynamic mixed -use district with cohesive urban form. On January 7, 2019, the Burlingame City Council approved the 2040 General Plan, which provides an update to the long-range policy document, which establishes the goals and policies guiding the future development of Burlingame. The City prepared an EIR (State Clearinghouse [SCH] #2017082018) for the 2040 General Plan that evaluated the long-range and cumulative environmental impacts associated with projected development of the Specific Plan area. The Final EIR for the General Plan was certified in August 2018. Within the 2040 General Plan, the City created several goals and policies related to the North Rollins area of the City, which helped craft the newly formed North Rollins Specific Plan (herein referred to as "Specific Plan," "proposed project," or "project"). The proposed Specific Plan will assist in creating a consistent urban form and landscape character for private and public development within the Specific Plan area of the City. Minor changes are proposed under the North Rollins Specific Plan when compared to what was analyzed for the Specific Plan area under the General Plan EIR. To note, the 2040 General Plan EIR determined impacts to greenhouse gas emissions and noise were found to be significant and unavoidable. Impacts to cultural resources and transportation were found to be potentially significant without the implementation of mitigation measures. However, with implementation of mitigation measures, impacts would be reduced to less -than -significant levels. The 2040 General Plan's impacts to aesthetics, agriculture and forestry resources, air quality, biological resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, public services and recreation, tribal cultural resources, and utilities and service systems were found not to be significant in the EIR. As outlined in Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration) of the CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency shall prepare an Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. As discussed in the impact analysis below, the proposed Specific Plan is substantially similar to the City of Burlingame's previously approved 2040 General Plan discussed and analyzed in the 2040 General Plan Final EIR. The minor modifications between the approved 2040 General Plan and the proposed Specific Plan would not introduce new significant environmental impacts beyond those which have already been identified and characterized in the approved 2040 General Plan Final EIR. None of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred or would occur as a result of the proposed Specific Plan. Therefore, this Addendum to the 2040 General Plan's Final EIR is consistent with CEQA, and this Addendum is the appropriate level of environmental documentation to provide under CEQA. This Addendum will be considered by the City of Burlingame decision -making body in making a decision on the proposed Specific Plan. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 3 Project Description 1. Project Title North Rollins Specific Plan 2. Project Overview The North Rollins Specific Plan proposes a mixed -use neighborhood with permitted uses of residential, commercial, open spaces, and industrial uses. The Specific Plan will create a walkable, pedestrian friendly neighborhood and improves connectivity with the Millbrae Transit Center. The Specific Plan area is designated as "Live/Work" in the "Envision Burlingame" General Plan. The Specific Plan is consistent with the Live/Work designation and envisions converting the existing low- rise industrial area into a dynamic mixed -use, residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhood. The General Plan EIR analyzed the maximum allowable development for the Specific Plan. In particular, the proposed project consists of modifying the allowed intensity within the General Plan by removing a portion of the allowed office and industrial intensity and converting it into multi -family residential units. Specifically, the proposed project would reduce the allowed intensity of office use from 174,083 square -feet to 50,083 square -feet and reduce the allowed intensity of industrial use from 696,331 square -feet to 591,217 square -feet. Further, the proposed project increases the residential intensity from 1,199 multifamily units to 1,557 multifamily units. These changes would result in a net increase of 358 multifamily residential units from what was analyzed in the 2040 General Plan EIR. The project's changes would also entail reductions of 105,114 square feet of industrial use and 124,000 square -feet of office use. Table 1, below, helps illustrate the proposed changes in square footage and new intensity under the proposed project. Table 1 Development Analyzed in General Plan EIR and Proposed Specific Plan ...

Project Location The North Rollins Specific Plan area is approximately 88.8 acres located in the northern portion of the City of Burlingame (herein referred to as "Plan Area" or Specific Plan Area"). The project location in a regional context is shown in Figure 1 and in a neighborhood context is shown in Figure 2. The Specific Plan area is directly bordered on the northeast by the City of Millbrae. The Specific Plan area is regionally accessible via the US Route 101 located directly northeast of the project site and via State Route 82 (El Camino Real) located approximately 0.3 miles southwest of the project site. Interstate 280 is located approximately 1.3 miles southwest of the Specific Plan area. The Plan Area is locally accessible via Broadway, Rollins Road, and Carolan Avenue. The Plan Area is approximately 0.35 miles Project Description southeast from the Millbrae Transit Center. The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is located approximately one mile north of the Specific Plan area and the entirety of the Specific Plan is within the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the Environs of SFO. The physical setting of the Plan Area has been previously graded and disturbed and consists of industrial and office buildings with surface parking lots. The entire Specific Plan Area predominately consists of pavement or buildings, with the exception of a narrow eucalyptus windrow along the CALTrain rail corridor in the northwestern portion of the Specific Plan Area and previously graded areas underneath a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) corridor and at 10 Guittard Road. 4. General Plan and Zoning Consistency City of Burlingame 2040 General Plan The project would be located entirely in the City of Burlingame. The 2040 General Plan is the fundamental document governing land use development and includes goals and policies relating to economic development, land use, transportation, public health, open space, conservation, safety, noise, public facilities, and utilities. The proposed project would be required to abide by all applicable goals and policies in the adopted 2040 General Plan. The 2040 General Plan land use designation for the Plan Area is Live/Work. This land use designation is intended to include multifamily residential, office, commercial, and industrial uses. The Specific Plan is consistent with the Live/Work designation as it promotes a medium- to high -density mixed -use neighborhood. Burlingame Municipal Code and Zoning Code The Specific Plan implements goals and policies from the City of Burlingame 2040 General Plan designated for the Specific Plan area, and functions as the zoning forthe Plan Area. The current zoning for the Specific Plan Area is RRMU. The Specific Plan includes a required zone change from RRMU to The North Rollins Specific Plan (NRSP).

The Final EIR addressed in detail sixteen (16) of the twenty (20) environmental issue areas included in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. In order to provide a thorough and conservative analysis of potential impacts associated with the proposed project, this document addresses all necessary issue areas included in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, as listed below. 1. Aesthetics 2. Agriculture and Forestry Resources 3. Air Quality 4. Biological Resources 5. Cultural Resources 6. Geology and Soils 7. Greenhouse Gas Emissions 8. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 9. Hydrology and Water Quality 10. Land Use and Planning 11. Noise 12. Population and Housing 13. Public Services 14. Transportation and Traffic 15. Tribal Cultural Resources 16. Utilities and Service Systems 17. Wildfire Potential environmental impacts of the Specific Plan are analyzed to determine whether impacts are consistent with the impact analysis provided in the General Plan EIR, and whether additional mitigation measures are required to minimize or avoid potential impacts. Where impacts are identified in the following analysis, discussion of existing applicable policies and regulations are also discussed as relevant to the avoidance of potential impacts from the proposed project. 9 Environmental Consistency Analysis This page intentionally left blank. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 1. Aesthetics The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that impacts relating to Aesthetics would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 5, Aesthetics, of the 2040 General Plan EIR). Similar to the General Plan, development under the proposed project would be required to comply with relevant regulations and policies from the General Plan and the City of Burlingame Design Guidelines. The Specific Plan is also required to comply with California Streets and Highways Code (Section 260) which preserves Interstate 280, a designated state scenic highway. Compliance with these regulations and policies would ensure that the proposed project would not substantially degrade the existing visual character of the City, damage existing scenic resources, or create new sources of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views. In addition, individual projects under the proposed project require project -level CEQA review, which would identify and require mitigation for any potential site -specific impacts associated with aesthetics. As a result, the proposed project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to aesthetics and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to aesthetics, and no mitigation measures are necessary. Conclusion Less than Significant Impact (Equal to the certified EIR for the 2040 General Plan) 0 Environmental Consistency Analysis Aesthetics This page intentionally left blank. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 2. Agriculture and Forestry Resources The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that impacts relating to Agriculture and Forestry Resources would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 6, Agricultural Resources, of the 2040 General Plan EIR). The 2018 EIR for the General Plan determined that there is not Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, land under a Williamson Act contract, or agricultural or forestry land uses within the city limits of Burlingame. The Specific Plan area is within city limits; therefore, it is not considered Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance and is not associated with agricultural, or forestry uses. The property is not under a Williamson Act contract. As a result, the Specific Plan would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to agriculture and forestry resources and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to agriculture and forestry resources, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 3. Air Quality The following section is based on the results of the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study that was prepared for the proposed project. The full technical report is provided in Appendix A of this document. The 2040 General Plan EIR found that the 2040 General Plan would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan and would not result in an increase in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) that is more than the projected population increase. Thus, the 2040 General Plan would not result in significant increases in criteria air pollutants or precursor pollutant emissions and impacts would be less than significant. The 2040 General Plan EIR found that although implementation of the 2040 General Plan would result in new sensitive receptors that could be exposed to localized concentrations of TACs of PM2.5 and could also result in new sources of TACs that could impact existing sensitive receptors, policies in the 2040 General Plan would ensure potentially adverse community risks and hazards are adequately evaluated and addressed. Therefore, impacts related to TACs and PM2.5 would be less than significant. The 2040 General Plan EIR stated that the 2040 General Plan does not directly authorize any new potential odor sources within the City. However, implementation of the 2040 General Plan would result in new sensitive receptors that could be exposed to odors from existing or new industrial and commercial sources. The Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR found that policies in the 2040 General Plan would protect residents and employees from odors by ensuring developers mitigate indoor air quality and evaluating the location of new emissions sources and new receptors. Therefore, impacts related to odors would be less than significant (City of Burlingame 2018). Project Impacts Impact I Increases in Criteria Air Pollutants and Precursor Emissions CONSISTENCY WITH 2O17 CLEAN AIR PLAN The California Clean Air Act requires air districts to create a Clean Air Plan that describes how the jurisdiction will meet air quality standards. These plans must be updated periodically. The most recently adopted air quality plan for the SFBAAB is the 2017 Clean Air Plan. To fulfill State ozone planning requirements, the 2017 control strategy includes all feasible measures to reduce emissions of ozone precursors (reactive organic gases [ROG] and nitrogen oxides [NOx]) and reduce the transport of ozone and its precursors to neighboring air basins. In addition, the 2017 Clean Air Plan builds upon and enhances BAAQMD's efforts to reduce emissions of PM2.5 and toxic air contaminants (TACs). The 2017 Clean Air Plan does not include control measures that apply directly to individual development projects. Instead, the control strategy includes measures related to stationary sources, transportation, energy, buildings, agriculture, natural and working lands, waste management, water, and super -greenhouse gas pollutants (BAAQMD 2017b). The 2017 Plan focuses on two paramount goals (BAAQMD 2017b): ■ Protect air quality and health at the regional and local scale by attaining all state and national air quality standards and eliminating disparities among Bay Area communities in cancer health risk from TACs; and ■ Protect the climate by reducing Bay Area GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 IN, Environmental Consistency Analysis Air Quality Under BAAQMD's methodology, a determination of consistency with the 2017 Plan should demonstrate that a project: ■ Supports the primary goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan; ■ Includes applicable control measures from the 2017 Clean Air Plan; and ■ Would not disrupt or hinder implementation of any control measures in the 2017 Clean Air Plan. A project that would not support the 2017 Clean Air Plan's goals would not be considered consistent with the plan. On an individual project basis, consistency with BAAQMD's quantitative thresholds is interpreted as demonstrating support for the 2017 Clean Air Plan's goals. The Specific Plan would decrease the amount of office and industrial uses and encourage denser and an increased number of multi -family housing units compared to the General Plan EIR, in a location near the Millbrae Transit Center (located approximately 1,100 feet north of the project area). The Millbrae Transit Center provides access to Caltrain, BART, San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans), and local community shuttle services. By allowing for the easier use of alternative modes of transportation through proximity to services, jobs, bus stops, BART stations, and bicycle routes, development facilitated by the project would reduce the use of personal vehicles and subsequent mobile emissions than if development were placed further from transit. In addition, development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 regulations, including requirements for residential indoor air quality. The analysis is based on compliance with 2022 Title 24 requirements although individual projects developed under the plan would be required to comply with the most current version of Title 24 at the time of project construction. These requirements currently mandate Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value 13 (or equivalent) filters for heating/cooling systems and ventilation systems in residences (Section 150.0[m]) or implementation of future standards that would be anticipated to be equal to or more stringent than current standards. Therefore, the project would improve air quality compared to development farther from transit and services through reducing VMT and would protect public health through stringent requirements for MERV-13 filters or equivalent indoor air quality measures, which would be consistent with the primary goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan. As shown in Appendix A, the proposed project would be consistent with the applicable measures as development facilitated by it would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 regulations and would increase density in urban areas, allowing for greater use of alternative modes of transportation. Development facilitated by the project does not contain elements that would disrupt or hinder implementation of a 2017 Clean Air Plan control measures. Therefore, the project would conform to this determination of consistency for the 2017 Clean Air Plan and would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS - CONSTRUCTION Construction activities such as demolition, grading, construction worker travel, delivery and hauling of construction supplies and debris, and fuel combustion by on -site construction equipment would generate pollutant emissions. These construction activities would temporarily create emissions of dust, fumes, equipment exhaust, and other air contaminants, particularly during site preparation and grading. The extent of daily emissions, particularly ROGs and NOx emissions, generated by construction equipment, would depend on the quantity of equipment used and the hours of operation for each project. The extent of PM2.5 and PM10 emissions would depend upon the following factors: 1) the number of disturbed soils; 2) the length of disturbance time; 3) whether existing structures are demolished; 4) whether excavation is involved; and 5) whether transporting excavated Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 13 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan materials offsite is necessary. Dust emissions can lead to both nuisance and health impacts. According to the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, PMlo is the greatest pollutant of concern during construction (BAAQMD 2017a). As discussed above, BAAQMD's 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines have no plan -level significance thresholds for construction air pollutant emissions that would apply to the project. However, the guidelines include project -level thresholds for construction emissions. If an individual project is subject to CEQA and has construction emissions that fall below the project -level thresholds, the project's impacts on regional air quality would be individually and cumulatively less than significant. The BAAQMD has identified feasible fugitive dust control measures for construction activities and recommends implementation of eight Basic Construction Mitigation Measures to reduce fugitive dust levels. Future development facilitated by the Specific Plan would be required to comply with Goal HP- 3 and policies within the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan. Policy HP- 3.10 ensures projects that generate truck traffic and existing truck routes avoid sensitive land uses to reduce sensitive receptor exposure to dust and exhaust emissions from trucks; Policy HP-3.11 requires dust abatement actions for all new construction to reduce fugitive dust and PM10 emissions from construction activities; and Policy HP-3.12 requires projects to implement BAAQMD's Basic Construction Mitigation Measures to reduce pollution from dust and exhaust. Therefore, similar to the finding in the 2040 General Plan EIR, construction emission impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. FUGITIVE DUST EMISSIONS Site preparation and grading during construction activities facilitated by development under the proposed project may cause wind-blown dust that could contribute particulate matter into the local atmosphere. The BAAQMD has not established a quantitative threshold for fugitive dust emissions but rather states that projects that incorporate best management practices (BMPs) for fugitive dust control during construction would have a less than significant impact related to fugitive dust emissions. As described above, future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with Goal HP-3 and Policies HP-3.10 through 3.12 of the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan, which requires implementation of dust abatement actions and BAAQMD's Basic Construction Mitigation Measures. Therefore, similar to the finding in the 2040 General Plan EIR, fugitive dust emission impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS — OPERATION The proposed project would accommodate new residential, commercial, and industrial uses that will operate through the Specific Plan horizon year of 2040. Long-term criteria pollutant emissions would result from the operation of potential residential, retail, and light industrial uses supported by the North Rollins Specific Plan. Operational air quality emissions are evaluated in terms of area source emissions, energy demand emissions, and mobile emissions. Area source emissions are the combination of many small emission sources that include use of outdoor landscape maintenance equipment, use of consumer products such as cleaning products, and periodic repainting of a project. Energy demand emissions result from use of electricity and natural gas. Mobile emissions result from automobile and other vehicle sources associated with daily trips to and from the project vicinity. 14 Environmental Consistency Analysis Air Quality The project would provide 358 more multi -family residential units than allowed under the 2040 General Plan, for a total of 1,557 multi -family residential units. As shown in Table 7-8 of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR, the 2040 General Plan would likely lead to increases in emissions in the SFBAAB, and the s Specific Plan would most likely result in similar emissions since it would increase the number of residential units but decrease the amount of office and industrial uses. Nonetheless, development of future projects within the planning area would be subject to the City's standard CEQA review process and would be required to assess project -specific emissions in relation to the BAAQMD significance thresholds. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with Policy HP-2.7 of the Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan, which encourages homeowners to install solar power systems; Policy HP-3.1, which ensures compliance with BAAQMD regulations and air quality standards; Policy HP-3.3, which require future developers mitigate impacts on indoor air quality for new residential development; and Policy HP-3.5, which encourages residents to replace wood - burning fireplaces and stoves with cleaner electric heat pumps, natural gas, or propane stoves. Future development would also be required to comply with the 2040 General Plan's Community Character, Mobility, and Infrastructure Elements, which contain land use, transportation, and infrastructure policies that would provide air quality benefits from sustainable land use planning and design consideration, complete streets and other mobility considerations that would reduce vehicle trips, and infrastructure planning to support alternative means of transportation. Therefore, similar to the finding in the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR, operational emissions impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. PROJECT VMT AND POPULATION GROWTH According to the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, the threshold for criteria air pollutants and precursors includes an assessment of the rate of increase of plan VMT versus population growth. The project would add 358 multi -family dwelling units to the area. Per the project's VMT screening evaluation, the project only has a 3.4 VMT per resident/capita compared to the County's baseline value of 13.52 VMT per resident/capita (Urban Crossroads 2022). This much lower number demonstrates the VMT efficiency of the Specific Plan area that would place future residents in a dense, urban environment near alternative modes of transportation. Therefore, the project's VMT would not conflict with the BAAQMD's 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines operational plan -level significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants and would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan. Accordingly, impacts would be less than significant, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Impact 2 Community Risks and Hazards CARBON MONOXIDE HOTSPOTS A CO hotspot is a localized concentration of CO that is above a CO ambient air quality standard. The entire Basin is in conformance with state and federal CO standards, as indicated by the recent air quality monitoring. There are no current exceedances of CO standards within the air district and the Bay Area has not exceeded CO standards since before 1994.1 For 2019, the Bay Area's reported maximum 1-hour and average daily concentrations of CO were 5.6 ppm and 1.7 ppm respectively (BAAQMD 2019). These are well below the respective 1-hour and 8-hour standards of 20 ppm and 9 1 BAAQMD only has records for annual air quality summaries dating back to 1994. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 15 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan ppm. Given the ambient concentrations, which includes mobile as well as stationary sources, a project in the Bay Area would need to emit concentrations three times the hourly maximum ambient emissions for all sources before project emissions would exceed the 1-hour standard. Additionally, the project would need to emit seven times the daily average for ambient concentrations to exceed the 8-hour standards. Typical development projects, even plan level growth, would not emit the levels of CO necessary to result in a localized hot spot. Therefore, impacts to CO hotspots would be less than significant, consistent with the findings in the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS In the Bay Area, there are several urban or industrialized communities where the exposure to TACs is relatively high in comparison to others. According to BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines (Figure 5-1), the City is not located in an impacted community. Sources of TACs include, but are not limited to, land uses such as freeways and high -volume roadways, truck distribution centers, ports, rail yards, refineries, chrome plating facilities, dry cleaners using perchloroethylene, and gasoline dispensing facilities (BAAQMD 2017a). Operation of development facilitated by the project would not involve these uses; therefore, it is not considered a source of TACs. Furthermore, residences do not typically include new stationary sources onsite, such as emergency diesel generators. However, if residences did include a new stationary source onsite, it would be subject to BAAQMD Regulation 2, Rule 2 (New Source Review) and require permitting. This process would ensure that the stationary source does not exceed applicable BAAQMD health risk thresholds. As discussed in the 2040 General Plan EIR, the 2040 General Plan would not result in a significant community risk and hazard impact if the land use diagram identifies special overlay zones around existing and planned sources of TACs and PM2.5, including special overlay zones of at least 500 feet on each side of all freeways and high -volume roadways. Moreover, the CARB Air Quality and Land Use Handbook recommends avoiding the siting of new sensitive land uses within: ■ 300 feet of large gasoline fueling stations (with a throughput of more than 3.6 million gallons of gasoline per year); ■ 300 feet of dry cleaning operations; ■ 500 feet of freeways, urban roads with 100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles/day; and ■ 1,000 feet of a major rail service or maintenance yard. Although the 2040 General Plan Land Use Diagram and the Specific Plan Land Use Diagram do not graphically depict overlay zones around specific, existing sources of TACs, future development facilitated by the Specific Plan would be required to comply with Goal HP-3 and policies within the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan which clearly state guidelines for projects and areas of the City where risks would be minimized, and ensure reduction of potential TAC emissions and associated adverse health risk impacts to a less than significant level. Policy HP-3.2 requires Transportation Demand Management (TDM) techniques when air quality impacts are unavoidable; Policy HP-3.3 requires future developers mitigate impacts on indoor air quality for new residential development by installing airfilters (MERV 13 or higher), building sound walls, and planting vegetation and trees as pollution buffers; Policy HP-3.7 prevents locating stationary and mobile sources of air pollution near sensitive receptors; Policy HP-3.8 prevents locating residential developments near significant pollution sources and requires BAAQMD recommended procedures for Ir. Environmental Consistency Analysis Air Quality air modeling and health risk assessment for new sensitive land uses located near sources ofTACs; and Policy HP-3.9 ensures placing sensitive uses as far away from emission sources as possible. Therefore, operational impacts from TAC emissions would be less than significant, consistent with the findings in the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. ASBESTOS BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2 is intended to limit asbestos emissions from demolition or renovation of structures and the associated disturbance of asbestos -containing waste material generated or handled during these activities (BAAQMD 2017a). The rule addresses the national emissions standards for asbestos along with some additional requirements. The rule requires the Lead Agency and its contractors to notify BAAQMD of any regulated renovation or demolition activity. This notification includes a description of structures and methods utilized to determine whether asbestos - containing materials are potentially present. All asbestos -containing material found on the site must be removed prior to demolition or renovation activity in accordance with BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2, including specific requirements for surveying, notification, removal, and disposal of material containing asbestos. Therefore, individual projects that comply with Regulation 11, Rule 2 would ensure that asbestos -containing materials would be disposed of appropriately and safely. By complying with BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2, thereby minimizing the release of airborne asbestos emissions, demolition activity would not result in a significant impact to air quality. Per the BAAQMD Guidelines, because BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2 is in place, no further analysis about the demolition of asbestos -containing materials is needed in a CEQA document (BAAQMD 2017). Impact 3 Odors During construction activities, heavy equipment and vehicles would emit odors associated with vehicle and engine exhaust both during normal use and when idling. However, these odors would be temporary and transitory and would cease upon completion. Therefore, development facilitated by the project would not generate objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. Appendix A provides BAAQMD odor screening distances for land uses with the potential to generate substantial odor complaints. Those uses include wastewater treatment plants, landfills or transfer stations, refineries, composting facilities, confined animal facilities, food manufacturing, smelting plants, and chemical plants. As development facilitated by the project compared to the 2040 General Plan would be increased residential and reduction in industrial and office uses, none of the identified uses would occur. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with Goal HP-3 and policies within the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan that outline guidelines to protect residents and employees from harmful pollutants, including odors. Policy HP-3.2 requires local businesses, industries, and developers to reduce the impact of stationary and mobile sources of odors; Policy HP-3.3 requires future developers mitigate impacts on indoor air quality for new residential development by installing air filters (MERV 13 or higher), building sound walls, and planting vegetation and trees as pollution buffers; Policy HP-3.7 ensures stationary and mobile sources of air pollutants such as odors are not located near sensitive receptors; and Policy HP-3.9 outlines requirements for building site design and operations to place sensitive uses within development projects away from sources of emission, including odors. Therefore, development facilitated by the project would not generate objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. This impact would be less than significant and consistent with the findings in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 17 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to air quality, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Biological Resources The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that impacts relating to Biological Resources would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 8, Biological Resources, of the 2040 General Plan EIR). Similar to the General Plan, changes proposed under the proposed project would occur in already developed, urbanized areas, which do not support a wide diversity of biological species. Similar to the findings of the General Plan EIR, Specific Plan impacts relating to interference with the movement of native resident or migratory fish and wildlife species, compliance with tree preservation policies or ordinances, and compliance with provisions of an approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation would be less than significant with no mitigation required. In addition, individual projects under the proposed Specific Plan would require project -level CEQA review, which would identify and require mitigation for any potential site -specific impacts associated with biological resources. As a result, the proposed project changes would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to biological resources and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur to biological resources, and no new mitigation measures are necessary.

Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 21 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 5. Cultural Resources The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that impacts relating to Cultural Resources would be less than significant with implementation of mitigation measure CR-1 (Section 12, Historic and Cultural Resources, of the 2040 General Plan EIR). Similar to the General Plan, future development associated with the implementation of the Specific Plan changes could impact Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs) where excavation and other earthmoving activities would be required. Failure to properly survey development sites and, if necessary, monitor earthmoving activities to ensure identification and recovery of TCRs or archaeological artifacts associated with TCRs could result in a significant impact due to the loss of information related to prehistoric human activities. The City currently does not have policies directly relating to the protection of TCRs during development and related earthmoving activities. Therefore, mitigation measures would be required to avoid or minimize impacts to buried archaeological resources associated with TCRs. Mitigation Measure CR-1 would be incorporated and would be applicable in the event of the unanticipated discovery of TCRs or archeological resources associated with TCRs to reduce potentially significant impacts to such resources. This mitigation measure would ensure that newly discovered TCRs and their related artifact(s) found within the Specific Plan Area would reduce significant impacts to a less than significant level. In addition, individual projects under the Specific Plan would require project -level CEQA review, which would identify and require mitigation for any potential site -specific impacts associated with cultural resources. If future development under the Specific Plan is found to have potentially adverse impacts on cultural or paleontological resources, implementation of Mitigation Measure CR-1 would reduce these impacts to less than significant. Therefore, proposed changes to the Specific Plan under the proposed project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to Cultural Resources and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur to cultural resources, and no new mitigation measures are necessary.

Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 23 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 6. Geology and Soils The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Geology and Soils impacts resulting from the General Plan would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 9, Geology, Soils, and Minerals, of the General Plan EIR). Similar to the General Plan, development facilitated under the proposed project would generate less than significant impacts related to geotechnical hazards or seismic -related ground failure (i.e., surface rupture, ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides, erosion, landslides, subsidence, or expansive soils). However, during a seismic event, adverse impacts related to seismic -related ground failure and shaking could still occur. Therefore, to reduce impacts to less than significant, new buildings on the project site would be required to meet the latest California Building Code (CBC) building requirements related to current energy, safety, and fire provisions. New buildings would also be subject to the ABAG Multi -Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, Chapter 18.28 of the City of Burlingame Municipal Code, and City of Burlingame Community Safety Element of the General Plan. Therefore, the Project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to geology and soils and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur to geology and soils, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 25 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 7. Greenhouse Gas Emissions The following section is based on the results of the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study that was prepared for the proposed project. The full technical report is provided in Appendix A of this document. The 2040 General Plan EIR found that the City's community -wide emissions are projected to meet BAAQMD's efficiency metric for 2020 despite being unable to meet their established goal of reducing community -wide emissions in 2020 to 15 percent below 2005 levels. Additionally, although the City's emissions would be consistent with the 2017 Scoping Plan's annual efficiency target for 2030, annual GHG emissions in 2040 would be inconsistent by approximately 1.3 MT CO2e per capita. Based on the regulations and policies in the 2040 General Plan, it was determined to be unclear whether the City of Burlingame would be able to achieve the State's long-term goal of reducing GHG emissions to 60 percent below 1990 levels by 2040 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Even with implementation of Mitigation Measure 10-1, which required the implementation of additional policies for bicycle sharing, increasing the usage of available shuttles, and increasing ECO100 enrollment within the 2040 General Plan, impacts would still be significant and unavoidable since the City was unable to conclusively demonstrate that implementation of the 2040 General Plan would not generate GHG emissions that exceed the City's existing Year 2020 and future Year 2030 and Year 2040 GHG reduction goals. The 2040 General Plan EIR found that the 2040 General Plan would conflict with the 2017 Scoping Plan since it would be inconsistent with the State GHG reduction goals and therefore would not support the overarching goals of the 2017 Scoping Plan; Plan Bay Area 2040 since it cannot be assured that the implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan (adopted in 2010) and the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan (amended in 2007) would reduce per capita passenger vehicle and light duty truck CO2 emissions by seven percent by 2020 and 15 percent by 2035, as compared to the 2005 baseline, and therefore would be inconsistent with the Plan Bay Area 2040 goal to reduce per capita CO2 emissions from passenger vehicles and light duty trucks by 15 percent by 2035; and lastly the 2017 Clean Air Plan since it would be inconsistent with the Plan's goal to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Therefore, the 2040 General Plan would be inconsistent with the above -mentioned plans and impacts would be significant and unavoidable. Impact 1 Increases in GHG Emissions & Impact 2: GHG Plan Consistency Project Consistency with 2030 CAP Update Appendix A to this document shows the project's consistency with applicable 2030 CAP Update actions. As shown, the proposed project would be consistent with applicable actions from the City's 2030 CAP Update. As discussed in Appendix A, BAAQMD's updated thresholds state that a plan -level project would have less than significant impact if it would be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). Since the 2030 CAP Update is a qualified CAP, and the proposed project would be consistent with applicable actions within, this impact would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. 26 Environmental Consistency Analysis Greenhouse Gas Emissions Project Consistency with 2022 Scoping Plan The principal State plans and policies for reducing GHG emissions are AB 32, SB 32, and AB 1279. The quantitative goal of AB 32 is to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020; the goal of SB 32 is to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030; and the goal of AB 1279 is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions no later than 2045 and reduce GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels no later than 2045. The 2022 Scoping Plan expands upon earlier plans to include the AB 1279 targets. The 2022 Scoping Plan's strategies that are applicable to the proposed project include reducing fossil fuel use and vehicle miles traveled; decarbonizing the electricity sector, maximizing recycling and diversion from landfills; and increasing water conservation. The proposed project would be consistent with these goals since future development would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 Green Building Code and Building Efficiency Energy Standards, as well as the AB 341 waste diversion goal of 75 percent and recycle organic wastes pursuant to SB 1383. Future development facilitated by the project would also be located in proximity to the Millbrae Transit Center which would reduce reliance on single -occupancy vehicles and VMT. The City's Reach Code also requires all - electric new construction, and inclusion of solar systems in the form of a solar zone with a total area no less than 15 percent of the total roof area of the building (City of Burlingame 2020). Additionally, future development would receive electricity from PCE, which sources 100 percent GHG free electricity under its ECOplus base plan. Therefore, the project would not conflict with the 2022 Scoping Plan and this impact would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Potential Emissions Generated by the Proposed HEU Since the City's Reach Code requires all -electric construction for future residential and commercial uses, it was assumed that the natural gas demand estimated for the project excluding industrial uses would instead be supplied by electricity to account for increased electricity usage. As shown in Appendix A, the proposed project would generate 13,977 MTCO2e per year, which would increase the number of emissions compared to existing conditions under the 2040 General Plan by 353 MTCO2e per year. A 3 percent increase in GHG emissions would represent a minor, incremental increase in GHG emissions, and would not substantially increase or exacerbate the significant and unavoidable findings in the of the 2040 General Plan EIR. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to greenhouse gas emissions, and no mitigation measures are necessary. Conclusion Significant and Unavoidable Impact (Equal to the certified EIR for the 2040 General Plan) Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 27 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 8. Hazards and Hazardous Materials The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Hazards and Hazardous Materials impacts resulting from development would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 11, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, of the General Plan EIR). Similar to the General Plan EIR, development facilitated by the changes under the Specific Plan would generate less than significant impacts related to hazards or hazardous materials. Development - related activities associated with the proposed Specific Plan would be similar to those of the 2040 General Plan and would be subject to compliance with existing Federal and State regulations and the regulations and policies relevant to hazards and hazardous materials in the General Plan to minimize or avoid potential impacts caused by hazards and hazardous materials. Furthermore, individual projects under the proposed Specific Plan would require individual project -level CEQA review, which would identify any required mitigation for potential site -specific impacts. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to hazards and hazardous materials and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Hydrology and Water Quality The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Hydrology and Water Quality impacts resulting from development would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 13, Hydrology and Water Quality, of the General Plan EIR). Construction and operation of future development under the General Plan could result in discharges of hazardous materials or sediment, which could contaminate downstream waters. However, development under the General Plan would be required to comply with required Laws, Permits, Ordinances, and plans, including an MS4 Permit and best management practices (BMPs), which would reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. Similar to the General Plan, development under the proposed project would generate little or no increase in runoff to the existing drainage system since the Plan Area is already covered in impervious surfaces. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project changes would not directly trigger the need for upgrading the City's existing storm drain facilities, and existing State regulations and the regulations and policies relevant to hydrology and water quality in the General Plan would stabilize and/or reduce runoff in the City. As a result, the project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to hydrology and water quality and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be considered less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur to hydrology and water quality, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Land Use and Planning The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Land Use and Planning impacts resulting from the General Plan would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 14, Land Use and Planning of the General Plan EIR). The General Plan EIR determined that development facilitated by the General Plan would not physically divide an established community or conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation. Similar to the 2040 General Plan, development facilitated by changes in the overall scope of the Specific Plan Area is not expected to physically divide an established community or conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation. The proposed project would not conflict with the 2040 General Plan, City of Burlingame Municipal Code, and the ALUCP for the Environs of SFO. The Specific Plan includes a zoning change from RRMU to NRSP, with approval of this zoning change the Specific Plan will maintain compliance with the City of Burlingame Zoning Code. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to land use and planning and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur to land use, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 33 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 11. Noise The following section is based on the results of the Noise Technical Study that was prepared for the proposed project. The full technical report is provided in Appendix B of this document. The 2040 General Plan EIR found that the 2040 General Plan would result in a potentially significant impact from construction noise, which would be mitigated through Mitigation measure 15-1 to less than significant through an expanded General Plan Policy CS-4.10 to implement Construction Noise Studies. The 2040 General Plan EIR determined that construction vibration impacts would be less than significant. The 2040 General Plan EIR determined that increases in traffic noise levels would result in a potentially significant impact since roadway noise levels would increase by more than 3 dBA on certain roadways (which were outside of the Specific Plan area), and that no feasible mitigation existed to reduce these noise levels. In addition, it found that noise levels to future sensitive receivers could be significant and unavoidable. The 2040 General Plan EIR also determined that airport noise would result in a less than significant impact. The 2040 General Plan EIR found that impacts from operational noise, such as mechanical equipment and leaf blower noise, would result in less than significant impacts through implementation of General Plan policies. Project Impacts Noise CONSTRUCTION Noise from individual construction projects facilitated bythe project would temporarily increase noise levels at nearby sensitive receivers. Since at this stage of planning project -level, details are not available for future projects that would be carried out under the project, it is not possible to determine exact noise levels, locations, or time periods for construction of such projects, or construction noise at adjacent properties. However, noise estimates for typical construction activities have been provided below. Construction activities would generate noise from phases such as demolition, site preparation, grading, building construction, and paving activities. Each phase of construction has a specific equipment mix and associated noise characteristics, depending on the equipment used during that phase. Construction noise would typically be higher during the more equipment -intensive phases of initial construction (i.e., demolition, site preparation, and grading work) and would be lower during the later construction phases (i.e., building construction and paving). Appendix B illustrates typical noise levels associated with construction equipment at a distance of 25 feet. Neither the BMC nor the City 2040 General Plan contain quantitative limits for construction noise. In lieu of City -specific standards, the FTA criteria for assessing construction noise impacts are used. For residential, commercial, and industrial uses, the FTA daytime noise threshold is 80 dBA Leq, 85 dBA Leq, and 90 dBA Leq for an 8-hour period, respectively. Noise would typically drop off at a rate of about 6 dBA per doubling of distance. Therefore, noise levels are about 6 dBA lower than shown in Appendix B at 50-feet from the noise source and 12 dBA lower at a distance of 100 feet from the noise source. As shown in these noise levels, construction 34 Environmental Consistency Analysis Noise noise may exceed the FTA's daytime noise limits, depending on the equipment used and the distance in which the equipment is operating compared to noise -sensitive receptors. Therefore, impacts would be potentially significant. OPERATION Stationary (On -site Operational) Noise Stationary and other sources of noise in Burlingame include those associated with the standard operation of land uses. These sources could include, but are not limited to, landscape and building maintenance activities, stationary mechanical equipment (e.g., pumps, generators, HVAC units), garbage collection activities, commercial and industrial activities, and other stationery and area sources such as people's voices, amplified music, and public address systems. Noise generated by residential or commercial uses are generally short-term and intermittent in nature. Industrial uses may generate noise on a more continual basis due to the nature of their activities. The proposed Specific Plan adjustments would provide for increase in residential development with the Specific Plan area through the removal of potential office uses. Residential development tends to have lower noise levels associated than other proposed uses, such as industrial or commercial uses. ■ CS-4.2: Residential Noise Standards. Require the design of new residential development to comply with the following noise standards: The maximum acceptable interior noise level for all new residential units (single-family, duplex, mobile home, multi -family, and mixed -use units) shall be an Ldn of 45 dBA with windows closed. El For project locations that are primarily exposed to noise from aircraft, Caltrain, BART, US 101, and Interstate 280 operations, the maximum instantaneous noise level in bedrooms shall not exceed 50 dBA at night (10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.), and the maximum instantaneous noise level in all interior rooms shall not exceed 55 dBA during the day (7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.) with windows closed. In addition, the BMC limits noise from certain common stationary and other sources such as speakers (Section 10.40.020), lawnmowers (Section 10.40.037), leaf blowers (Section 10.40.038), loading and unloading activities (Section 10.40.039), and mechanical equipment including HVAC and generators (Section 25.58.050). 2040 General Plan Policy CS-4.2 would protect residents from excessive noise by requiring the City to review the location of new noise -sensitive land uses, locate such land uses away from major noise sources, and ensure new land uses meet the City's noise standards through evaluation and design considerations. In addition, stationary and other sources of noise would be controlled by the City's Municipal Code, which provide requirements for certain non -transportation noise sources. Therefore, future stationary noise sources would comply with City standards and would not expose people to excessive noise levels. This would be a less -than -significant impact, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding on -site or off -site construction noise than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 35 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Mobile (Off -Site Operational) Noise The implementation of the Specific Plan would have the potential to change the existing amounts and types of land uses within the City. These potential land use changes would increase residents and employees within the City. This increase in population and employment would lead to increased vehicle traffic on the local roadway system, which would result in an increase in traffic -related noise levels. The 2040 General Plan EIR analyzed traffic noise increases from implementation of the 2040 General Plan, with the only roadway analyzed through the Specific Plan area being Rollins Road, as shown in Appendix B. The 2040 General Plan would increase traffic on Rollins Road by 1.2 CNEL from the addition of 746 ADT, which would be below a barely perceptible increase of 3 dBA. For a 3 dBA increase to occur, traffic would need to be increased by 100 percent, or 7,456 additional ADT. According to the air quality modeling outputs conducted by the project's Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Report (Rincon 2023), the change in uses for the Specific Plan area between what was approved under the 2040 General Plan and what is proposed (removal of some office uses and addition of multi -family), the proposed project would result in an increase in trips. This minor increase would increase noise levels by an additional several tenths on Rollins Road but would not increase noise traffic noise levels to where they exceed a 3 dBA increase. Therefore, traffic noise level increases from the project would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding off -site traffic noise than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. MITIGATION MEASURES Implementation of 2040 General Plan Policy CS-4.10, as expanded upon in Mitigation Measure 15-1 in the 2040 General Plan EIR, would reduce construction noise and associated impacts: Mitigation Measure N0I-1 Construction Noise Study All development projects shall be subject to the applicable construction hour limitations established by the City's Municipal Code. Development projects that are subject to discretionary review and that are located near noise -sensitive land uses shall assess potential construction noise levels and minimize substantial adverse impacts by implementing feasible construction noise control measures that reduce construction noise levels at sensitive receptor locations. Such measures may include, but are not limited to: ■ Construction management techniques (e.g., siting staging areas away from noise -sensitive land uses, phasing activities to take advantage of shielding/attenuation provided by topographic features or buildings, monitoring construction noise); ■ Construction equipment controls (e.g., ensuring equipment has mufflers, use of electric hook-ups instead of generators); ■ Use of temporary sound barriers (equipment enclosures, berms, walls, blankets, or other devices) when necessary; and ■ Monitoring of actual construction noise levels to verify the need for noise controls. SIGNIFICANCE AFTER MITIGATION Although specific construction activities and noise levels associated with future development projects are not known at this time, implementation of Mitigation Measure N0I-1 would require feasible construction noise control measures when development occurs near noise -sensitive land uses and 36 Environmental Consistency Analysis Noise would render potential construction noise impacts from future development projects a less than significant impact with mitigation. With mitigation, the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding construction noise than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Vibration Construction activities have the potential to result in varying degrees of temporary ground vibration, depending on the specific construction equipment used and activities involved. Vibration generated by construction equipment spreads through the ground and diminishes with increases in distance. The effects of ground vibration may be imperceptible at the lowest levels, result in low rumbling sounds and detectable vibrations at moderate levels, and high levels of vibration can cause sleep disturbance in places where people normally sleep or annoyance in buildings that are primarily used for daytime functions and sleeping. Ground vibration can also potentially damage the foundations and exteriors of existing structures even if it does not result in a negative human response. Pile drivers and other pieces of high impact construction equipment are generally the primary cause of construction -related vibration impacts. The use of such equipment is generally limited to sites where there are extensive layers of very hard materials (e.g., compacted soils, bedrock) that must be loosened and/or penetrated to achieve grading and foundation design requirements. The need for such methods is usually determined through site -specific geotechnical investigations that identify the subsurface materials within the grading envelope, along with foundation design recommendations and the construction methods needed to safely permit development of a site. Construction equipment and activities are categorized by the nature of the vibration it produces. Equipment or activities typical of continuous vibration include excavation equipment, static compaction equipment, vibratory pile drivers, and pile -extraction equipment. Equipment or activities typical of transient (single -impact) or low -rate repeated impact vibration include impact pile drivers, and crack -and -seat equipment. Pile driving and blasting activities produce the highest levels of ground vibration and can result in structural damage to existing buildings. Since project specific information is not available at this time, potential short-term construction -related vibration impacts can only be evaluated based on the typical construction activities associated with the development. Future development as a result of the proposed Specific Plan would occur in primarily urban settings where land is already disturbed and, therefore, are not likely to require blasting, which is typically used to remove unwanted rock or earth; however, it is possible that pile driving could occur during building construction under the proposed Specific Plan. Standard construction equipment (e.g., bulldozers, trucks, jackhammers, etc.) generally do not cause vibration that could cause structural or cosmetic damage but may be felt by nearby receivers. Specific vibration levels associated with typical construction equipment are highly dependent on the type of equipment used. Vibration levels dissipate rapidly with distance, such that even maximum impact pile driving activities would result in vibration levels below Caltrans' recommended 0.5 PPV threshold for transient vibration -induced damage in historic, older buildings at a distance 100 feet; all other activities would be below Caltrans' 0.25 PPV threshold for continuous vibration -induced damage in historic, older buildings at a distance of 100 feet. For human responses, maximum impact pile driving activities would result in groundborne vibration and noise levels below Caltrans' threshold for a distinctly perceptible response (0.24 PPV in/sec) and the FTA's vibration standard for infrequent events at residential lands (80 VdB) at a distance of approximately 150 feet and 300 feet, respectively; other activities may be barely to distinctly perceptible when occurring within approximately 150 feet of sensitive land uses. Most construction equipment does not operate in the same location for Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 37 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan prolonged periods of time. Therefore, even if construction equipment were to operate near a building where receptors may feel vibration, it would only be for a temporary amount of time. Nonetheless, depending on the specific equipment in use and proximity of the equipment to vibration sensitive land uses, vibration levels may exceed accepted levels at which building damage may occur or which may be perceived by sensitive receptors as excessive. Although project -specific construction activities and noise levels associated with future development projects are not known at this time, proposed 2040 General Plan Policy CS-4.13 requires an assessment of potential impacts and the application of vibration control measures to avoid damage to structures and disturbance of sensitive receptors. The implementation of this policy would render potential construction vibration impacts from future development projects under the Specific Plan to a less than significant impact, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding construction vibration than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. CS-4.13: Vibration Impact Assessment. Require a vibration impact assessment for proposed projects in which heavy-duty construction equipment would be used (e.g., pile driving, bulldozing) within 200 feet of an existing structure or sensitive receptor. If applicable, require all feasible mitigation measures to be implemented to ensure that no damage or disturbance to structures or sensitive receptors would occur. Residential, commercial, and industrial land uses facilitated by changes under the Specific Plan would not involve substantial vibration sources associated with operation. Therefore, Specific Plan operational vibration impacts would be less than significant, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding operational vibration than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to noise and vibration, and no new mitigation measures are necessary.

Population and Housing The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Population and Housing impacts resulting from the General Plan would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 16, Population and Housing, of the General Plan EIR). The General Plan EIR determined that development facilitated by the General Plan would not induce unplanned population growth or displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing. Similar to the 2040 General Plan, development facilitated by the Specific Plan is not expected to induce unplanned population growth or displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing. Any population increase facilitated by the implementation of the Specific Plan would be considered planned. Existing population and housing are not anticipated to be displaced by the proposed Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to population and housing and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur to population and housing, and no new mitigation measures are necessary.

Public Services The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Public Services impacts resulting from development would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 17, Public Services, of the General Plan EIR). The General Plan EIR determined that development facilitated by the General Plan would not increase demand for fire and police protection services and facilities, libraries, and school facilities. Similar to the 2040 General Plan, development under the proposed Specific Plan would occur in previously disturbed, developed urban areas of the City that are served by existing public services and facilities. The nearest police station is the Burlingame Police Department located directly adjacent to the southwest border of the Specific Plan area, and the nearest fire station is the Central County Fire Department, Station 36, located 0.5 mile southeast of the Specific Plan. The schools closest to the Specific Plan area include Stepping Stone Pre School (approximately one mile south of the project area), McKinley Elementary School (approximately one mile south of the project area), Burlingame High School (approximately one mile southeast of the project area), Roosevelt Elementary School (approximately one mile southwest of the project area), and Peninsula High School (approximately 1.25 miles northwest of the project area). The proposed project is expected to increase density by 358 units. The increase of 358 units would be adequately served by existing facilities, therefore, development facilitated by the proposed project is not expected to increase demand on fire and police protection services and facilities, libraries, and school facilities. Therefore, development under the proposed project would be able to utilize the same existing fire and police protection services and facilities, libraries, and school facilities as the General Plan. Similar to the General Plan, construction of new facilities to meet capacity demands would require project -level CEQA review, which would identify any required mitigation for potential site -specific impacts. In addition, as with the General Plan, development of new public service facilities or parks resulting from the population increase under the Specific Pan would be subject to existing State regulations, including the CBC and California State Public Park Preservation Act, compliance with CEQA and the guidelines and regulations in the General Plan to reduce potential environmental impacts. Furthermore, the City and other public service providers would require development impact fees to maintain service levels. As a result, the proposed project would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to public services and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to public services, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Transportation The following section is based on the results of the VMT Screening Analysis that was prepared for the proposed project. The full technical report is provided in Appendix C of this document. The 2018 EIR determined that impacts relating to would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. The VMT Screening Evaluation was prepared for the proposed project in October 2022 (Appendix C). Changes to CEQA Guidelines were adopted in December 2018, which requires all lead agencies to adopt VMT as a replacement for automobile delay -based level of service (LOS) as the new measure for identifying transportation impacts for land use projects. This statewide mandate went into effect July 1, 2020. To aid in this transition, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) released a Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (December of 2018) (Technical Advisory). The City adopted analytical procedures, screening tools, and impact thresholds for VMT, which are documented in the Contra Costa County Transportation Analysis Guidelines (June 2020) (County Guidelines). Overall, the proposed project will result in a net increase of 562 two-way trip ends per day with a reduction of 134 AM peak hour trips and a reduction of 73 PM peak hour trips. Thus, the proposed project is estimated to generate trips above the 110 net new daily vehicle trip -threshold. Consistent with guidance identified in the County Guidelines, projects located within a Transit Priority Area (TPA) (i.e., within % mile of an existing "major transit stop" or an existing stop along a "high -quality transit corridor") may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. Based on the Screening Tool, the Plan Area is shown to be located within a TPA. County Guidelines state that residential projects (home -based VMT) at 15% or below the baseline County -wide home -based average VMT per capita in areas with low VMT that incorporate similar VMT reducing features (i.e., density, mix of uses, transit accessibility) are presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact. Using the Screening Tool, the County base line value was found to be 13.52 VMT per resident/capita and the 15% below threshold of 11.49 VMT per resident/capita. The proposed project was determined to have 3.4 VMT per resident/capita and, therefore, is presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact. Thus, the Project meets the Proximity to Transit and Low VMT Based Screening criteria and would therefore be presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact; no additional VMT analysis is required. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur related to transportation, and no mitigation measures are necessary.

Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 45 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 15. Tribal Cultural Resources The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Tribal Cultural Resources impacts resulting from development would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 19, Tribal Cultural Resources, of the General Plan EIR). Similar to the General Plan, development facilitated by the Specific Plan would generate less than significant impacts related to TCRs as defined in PRC 21074. The General Plan complied with the required SIB 18 tribal consultation which would apply to the Specific Plan, ensuring a less than significant impact relating to tribal consultation. Individual projects under the proposed Specific Plan would require project -level CEQA review, which would identify and require mitigation for any potential site -specific impacts associated with tribal cultural resources. Individual projects would also be required to comply with AB 52 tribal consultation. Nevertheless, the City created a list of Native Americans culturally affiliated with the vicinity of the Plan Area. In May of 2022, the City sent letters to the Native American contacts in the area to request information on potential cultural resources in the Project Plan vicinity that may be impacted by the proposed development. The City requested a response within 30-days of receipt as specified by AB 52. As of the date of this document, no tribes have requested consultation. As a result, the Specific Plan would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to tribal cultural resources and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur to tribal cultural resources, and no new mitigation measures are necessary.

Utilities and Service Systems The 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan determined that Utilities and Service Systems impacts resulting from development would be less than significant with no mitigation required (Section 20, Utilities and Service Systems, of the General Plan EIR). The General Plan EIR determined that development facilitated by the General Plan would be sufficiently served by existing utility service providers. Water, wastewater, and stormwater drainage service is provided by the City of Burlingame. Electric service in the project area is provided by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and Peninsula Clean energy and PG&E also provides gas service to the Plan Area. Solid waste collection in the Plan Area is provided by Recology. Development changes facilitated by the Specific Plan are expected to be well served by existing utility service providers. However, changing uses from office to residential will cause an increased demand on sewer systems. The General Plan anticipates that the population will increase by 20% (from 30,000 to 38,778 in 2040). There is adequate wastewater capacity as the maximum system capacity is 5.5 million gallons per day (MGD) and existing flows is 3.5 MGD. The General Plan build -out would increase demand to 4.4 MGD. Using a conservative capacity metric of 85% of the 5.5 MGD, the new increase in population could technically increase by 33% and still not have any significant impacts. This would result in a total population of 39,900, allowing for an additional 1,122 residents. Therefore, development under the proposed Specific Plan would be able to utilize the same existing utility infrastructure and providers as development under the General Plan. Similar to the General Plan, upgrades to existing utility infrastructure or construction of new utility infrastructure to meet capacity demands would require project -level CEQA review, which would identify any required mitigation for potential site -specific impacts. Additionally, similar to the General Plan, it is anticipated that construction of major new power lines or facilities would not be required under the proposed Specific Plan. As a result, the proposed Specific Plan would not introduce new impacts or substantially increased impacts related to utilities and other service systems and would be consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2018 EIR for the 2040 General Plan. Impacts would be less than significant.

Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 49 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 17. Wildfire The 2018 Final EIR did not address wildfire. Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines states the wildfire of the project are considered significant if the project would: a. Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan; b. Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks and thereby expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire, c. Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment; d. Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslopes or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post fire slope instability, or drainage changes. The Plan Area is located in a relatively flat portion of the City surrounded by developed, urban landscape. Implementation of the proposed project would fully develop the area with hardscape (i.e., buildings, paved walkways, compacted dirt for the proposed paddock and corral, driveways, and parking areas) and drought -tolerant landscaping. The proposed project would include installation of on -site and off -site drainage facilities and would not result in wildfire risks or risks related to downslope or downstream flooding or landslides subsequent to wildfire events. The Project would not include infrastructure that could exacerbate fire risks. Furthermore, proposed driveways, vehicle circulation areas, and parking areas will be designed to accommodate emergency vehicle access and circulation. The proposed project would not substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan and would not impair abilities of emergency response services, including response to wildfire. Therefore, proposed project impacts related to wildfire risks would be less than significant. Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe effects would occur associated with wildfire hazards, and no mitigation measures are necessary. Conclusion Less than Significant Impact 50 Environmental Consistency Analysis Wildfire This page intentionally left blank. Draft Addendum to the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH #2017082018) 51 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 5 Conclusion As discussed in detail in the preceding sections and summarized in Table 2, potential impacts associated with the proposed project are consistent with potential impacts characterized and mitigated for in the 2018 General Plan EIR. Substantive revisions to the 2018 approved General Plan EIR are not necessary because no new significant impacts or impacts of substantially greater severity than previously described would occur as a result of the proposed Specific Plan. Therefore, the following determinations have been found to be applicable: ■ No further evaluation of environmental impacts is required for the proposed project; ■ No Subsequent EIR is necessary per CEQA Guidelines Section 15162; and ■ This Addendum is the appropriate level of environmental analysis and documentation for the proposed project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c), this Addendum will be included in the public record for the approved 2040 General Plan. Documents related to this Addendum will be available at the City of Burlingame Community Development Department located at 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, California 94010.

Regional access to the site is available via the adjacent US Highway 101 (US 101) to the northeast and via State Route 82 (SR 82) to the southwest. Interstate 280 (1-280) is located approximately 1.3 miles southwest of the project area, and the Millbrae Transit Center is located approximately one -quarter mile to the northwest of the project area boundary (City of Burlingame 2O22a). Figure 1 shows the project area's regional location and Figure 2 shows the project area and its surroundings. Project Description The North Rollins Specific Plan area is designated as "Live/Work" in the "Envision Burlingame" 2040 General Plan. The Specific Plan is consistent with the Live/Work designation and envisions converting the existing low-rise industrial area into a dynamic mixed -use, residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhood. The General Plan EIR analyzed the maximum allowable development for the North Rollins Specific Plan. Table 2 shows the new remaining intensity under the North Rollins Specific Plan, which includes 1,557 multi -family dwelling units, 591,217 square feet of industrial uses, 50,083 square feet of office uses, and 139,266 square feet of commercial uses.

As the local air quality management agency, the BAAQMD is required to monitor air pollutant levels to ensure that state and federal air quality standards are met and, if they are not met, to develop strategies to meet the standards. The City of Burlingame is located in the western portion of the SFBAAB and the proximity to the San Francisco Bay influence the climate in the city and surrounding region. As most of San Francisco's topography is below 200 feet, marine air is able to flow easily across the city, making its climate cool and windy. The annual high temperature is approximately 72°F, while the annual low temperature is approximately 457. Winds play a large role in controlling climate in the area, and annual average winds range between five and ten miles per hour in this region (BAAQMD 2017a). 2.1.2 Air Pollutants of Primary Concern Pollutants may be emitted directly from a source (e.g., vehicle tailpipe, an exhaust stack of a factory, etc.) into the atmosphere; these pollutants include carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter with a diameter of up to ten microns (PM1o) and up to 2.5 microns (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide, and lead. Additionally, pollutants may be created indirectly through chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Ozone is created by atmospheric chemical and photochemical reactions between reactive organic gasesl (ROG) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The following subsections describe the characteristics, sources, and health and atmospheric effects of air pollutants of primary concern. Ozone Ozone is produced by a photochemical reaction (triggered by sunlight) between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ROG. ROG are composed of non -methane hydrocarbons (with some specific exclusions), and NOx is composed of different chemical combinations of nitrogen and oxygen, mainly nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide. NOx are formed during the combustion of fuels, while ROG are formed during combustion and evaporation of organic solvents. As a highly reactive molecule, ozone readily combines with many different components of the atmosphere. Consequently, high levels of ozone tend to exist only while high ROG and NOx levels are present to sustain the ozoneformation process. Once the precursors have been depleted, ozone levels rapidly decline. Because these reactions occur on a regional rather than local scale, ozone is considered a regional pollutant. In addition, because ozone requires sunlight to form, it mostly occurs in concentrations considered serious between the months of April and October. Ozone is a pungent, colorless, toxic gas with direct health effects on humans, including changes in breathing patterns, reduction of breathing capacity, 1 CARB defines VOC and ROG similarly as, "any compound of carbon excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate," with the exception that VOC are compounds that participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions. For the purposes of this analysis, ROG and VOC are considered comparable in terms of mass emissions, and the term ROG is used in this analysis. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan increased susceptibility to infections, inflammation of lung tissue, and some immunological changes (BAAQMD 2017a). Groups most sensitive to ozone include children, the elderly, people with respiratory disorders, and people who exercise strenuously outdoors. Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is a localized pollutant that is found in high concentrations only near its source. The major source of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas, is the incomplete combustion of petroleum fuels by automobile traffic. Therefore, elevated concentrations are usually only found near areas of high traffic volumes or proximate to locations of vehicle idling, such as parking structures or congested high -capacity roadway intersections. Other sources of carbon monoxide include the incomplete combustion of petroleum fuels at power plants and fuel combustion from wood stoves and fireplaces during the winter. The health effects of carbon monoxide are related to its affinity for hemoglobin in the blood. Carbon monoxide causes a number of health problems, including aggravation of some heart diseases (e.g., angina), reduced tolerance for exercise, impaired mental function, and impaired fetal development. At high levels of exposure, carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, leading to mortality (BAAQMD 2017a). Carbon monoxide tends to dissipate rapidly into the atmosphere; consequently, violations of the NAAQS and/or CAAQS for carbon monoxide are generally associated with localized carbon monoxide "hotspots" that can occur at major roadway intersections during heavy peak -hour traffic conditions. Nitrogen Dioxide Nitrogen dioxide is a by-product of fuel combustion; the primary sources are motor vehicles and industrial boilers and furnaces. The principal form of NOx produced by combustion is nitric oxide, but nitric oxide reacts rapidly to form nitrogen dioxide, creating the mixture of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide commonly called NOx. Nitrogen dioxide is an acute irritant that can aggravate respiratory illnesses and symptoms, particularly in sensitive groups ([BAAQMD 2017a). A relationship between nitrogen dioxide and chronic pulmonary fibrosis may exist, and an increase in bronchitis in young children at concentrations below 0.3 parts per million (ppm) may occur. Nitrogen dioxide absorbs blue light, gives a reddish -brown cast to the atmosphere, and reduces visibility (BAAQMD 2017a). It can also contribute to the formation of PM10 and acid rain. Sulfur Dioxide Sulfur dioxide is included in a group of highly reactive gases known as "oxides of sulfur." The largest sources of sulfur dioxide emissions are from fossil fuel combustion at power plants (73 percent) and other industrial facilities (20 percent). Smaller sources of sulfur dioxide emissions include industrial processes such as extracting metal from ore and the burning of fuels with a high sulfur content by locomotives, large ships, and off -road equipment. Sulfur dioxide is linked to a number of adverse effects on the respiratory system, including aggravation of respiratory diseases, such as asthma and emphysema, and reduced lung function (BAAQMD 2017a). Particulate Matter Suspended atmospheric PM10 and PM2.5 is comprised of finely divided solids and liquids such as dust, soot, aerosols, fumes, and mists. Both PM10 and PM2.5 are directly emitted into the atmosphere as by-products of fuel combustion and wind erosion of soil and unpaved roads. Particulate matter is also created in the atmosphere through chemical reactions. The characteristics, Air Quality sources, and potential health effects associated with PMlo and PM2.5 can be very different. PMlo is generally associated with dust mobilized by wind and vehicles while PM2.5 is generally associated with combustion processes as well as formation in the atmosphere as a secondary pollutant through chemical reactions. PM2.5 is more likely to penetrate deeply into the lungs and poses a health threat to all groups, but particularly to the elderly, children, and those with respiratory problems (CARB 2020a). More than half of PM2.5 that is inhaled into the lungs remains there. These materials can damage health by interfering with the body's mechanisms for clearing the respiratory tract or by acting as carriers of an absorbed toxic substance Suspended particulates can also reduce lung function, aggravate respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, increase mortality rates, and reduce lung function growth in children (BAAQMD 2017a). Lead Lead is a metal found naturally in the environment, as well as in manufacturing products. The major sources of lead emissions historically have been mobile and industrial sources. However, as a result of the U.S. EPA's regulatory efforts to remove lead from gasoline, atmospheric lead concentrations have declined substantially over the past several decades. The most dramatic reductions in lead emissions occurred prior to 1990 due to the removal of lead from gasoline sold for most highway vehicles. Lead emissions were further reduced substantially between 1990 and 2008, with reductions occurring in the metals industries at least in part as a result of national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (U.S. EPA 2013). As a result of phasing out leaded gasoline, metal processing currently is the primary source of lead emissions. The highest level of lead in the air is generally found near lead smelters. Other stationary sources include waste incinerators, utilities, and lead -acid battery manufacturers. The health impacts of lead include behavioral and hearing disabilities in children and nervous system impairment (BAAQMD 2017a). Toxic Air Contaminants Toxic air contaminants (TACs) are a diverse group of air pollutants that may cause or contribute to an increase in deaths or serious illness, or that may pose a present or potential hazard to human health. TACs include both organic and inorganic chemical substances that may be emitted from a variety of common sources, including gasoline stations, motor vehicles, dry cleaners, industrial operations, painting operations, and research and teaching facilities. One of the main sources of TACs in California is diesel engine exhaust that contains solid material known as diesel particulate matter (DPM). More than 90 percent of DPM is less than one micron in diameter (about 1/70t" the diameter of a human hair) and thus is a subset of PM2.5. Because of their extremely small size, these particles can be inhaled and eventually trapped in the bronchial and alveolar regions of the lungs (CARB 2020b). Within the SFBAAB, DPM accounted for approximately 85 percent of the cancer risk from air toxics in the region with mobile sources being one of the top contributors (BAAQMD 2016, 2020) TACs are different than criteria pollutants because ambient air quality standards have not been established for TACs. TACs occurring at extremely low levels may still cause health effects and it is typically difficult to identify levels of exposure that do not produce adverse health effects. TAC impacts are described by carcinogenic risk and by chronic (i.e., long duration) and acute (i.e., severe but of short duration) adverse effects on human health. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 2.1.3 Air Quality Regulation Federal Air Quality Regulations The Clean Air Act (CAA) was enacted in 1970 and amended in 1977 and 1990 [42 United States Code (USC) 7401] for the purposes of protecting and enhancing the quality of the nation's air resources to benefit public health, welfare, and productivity. In 1971, to achieve the purposes of Section 109 of the CAA [42 USC 74091, the U.S. EPA developed Ambient Air Quality Standards which represent the maximum levels of background pollution considered safe, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health and welfare. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) have been designated for the following criteria pollutants of primary concern: ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, sulfur dioxide, PM1o, and PM2.5. The U.S. EPA classifies specific geographic areas as either "attainment" or "nonattainment" areas for each pollutant based on the comparison of measured data with the NAAQS. States are required to adopt enforceable plans, known as a State Implementation Plan (SIP), to achieve and maintain air quality meeting the NAAQS. State plans also must control emissions that drift across state lines and harm air quality in downwind states. Table 3 lists the current federal standards for regulated pollutants. Table 3 Federal and State Ambient Air Quality Standards Ozone 1-Hour — 0.09 ppm 8-Hour 0.070 ppm 0.070 ppm Carbon Monoxide 8-Hour 9.0 ppm 9.0 ppm 1-Hour 35.0 ppm 20.0 ppm Nitrogen Dioxide Annual 0.053 ppm 0.030 ppm 1-Hour 0.100 ppm 0.18 ppm Sulfur Dioxide Annual — — 24-Hour — 0.04 ppm 1-Hour 0.075 ppm 0.25 ppm PM10 Annual — 20 µg/m3 24-Hour 150 µg/m3 50 µg/m3 PM2.5 Annual 12 µg/m3 12 µg/m3 24-Hour 35 µg/m3 — Lead 30-Day Average — 1.5 µg/m3 3-Month Average 0.15 µg/m3 — NAAQS = National Ambient Air Quality Standards; CAAQS = California Ambient Air Quality Standards; ppm = parts per million; µg/m, = micrograms per cubic meter Source: CARB 2016; U.S. EPA 2016 State Air Quality Regulations CALIFORNIA CLEAN AIR ACT The California Clean Air Act (CCAA) was enacted in 1988 (California Health & Safety Code (H&SC) §39000 et seq.). Under the CCAA, the State has developed the California Ambient Air Quality 0 Air Quality Standards (CAAQS), which are generally more stringent than the NAAQS. Table 3 lists the current state standards for regulated pollutants. In addition to the federal criteria pollutants, the CAAQS also specify standards for visibility -reducing particles, sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, and vinyl chloride. Like the federal CAA, the CCAA classifies specific geographic areas as either "attainment" or "nonattainment" areas for each pollutant, based on the comparison of measured data within the CAAQS. California is divided geographically into 15 air basins for managing the air resources of the state on a regional basis. Areas within each air basin are considered to share the same air masses and, therefore, are expected to have similar ambient air quality. As discussed in Section 2.3, Federal Air Quality Regulations, the U.S. EPA classifies specific geographic areas as either "attainment" or "nonattainment" areas for NAAQS for each pollutant. If an air basin is not in either federal or state attainment for a particular pollutant, the basin is classified as a nonattainment area for that pollutant. Under the federal and state Clean Air Acts, once a nonattainment area has achieved the air quality standards for a particular pollutant, it may be redesignated to an attainment area for that pollutant. To be redesignated, the area must meet air quality standards and have a 10-year plan for continuing to meet and maintain air quality standards, as well as satisfy other requirements of the federal CAA. Areas that have been redesignated to attainment are called maintenance areas. TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS In 1983, the California Legislature enacted a program to identify the health effects of TACs and to reduce exposure to these contaminants to protect the public health (Assembly Bill [AB] 1807: H&SC Sections 39650-39674). The Legislature established a two-step process to address the potential health effects from TACs. The first step is the risk assessment (or identification) phase. The second step is the risk management (or control) phase of the process. The California Air Toxics Program establishes the process for the identification and control of TACs and includes provisions to make the public aware of significant toxic exposures and for reducing risk. Additionally, the Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Information and Assessment Act (AB 2588) was enacted in 1987 and requires stationary sources to report the types and quantities of certain substances routinely released into the air. The goals of the Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Act are to collect emission data, identify facilities having localized impacts, ascertain health risks, notify nearby residents of significant risks, and reduce those significant risks to acceptable levels. The Children's Environmental Health Protection Act, Senate Bill 25 (Chapter 731, Escutia, Statutes of 1999), focuses on children's exposure to air pollutants. The act requires CARB to review its air quality standards from a children's health perspective, evaluate the statewide air quality monitoring network, and develop any additional air toxic control measures needed to protect children's health. STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The SIP is a collection of documents that set forth the state's strategies for achieving the NAAQS and CAAQS. In California, the SIP is a compilation of new and previously submitted plans, programs (such as monitoring, modeling, and permitting), district rules, state regulations, and federal controls. CARB is the lead agency for all purposes related to the SIP under state law. Local air districts are responsible for preparing and implementing air quality attainment plans for pollutants for which the district is in non-compliance; the plans are incorporated into the SIP. Additionally, other agencies such as the Department of Pesticide Regulation and the Bureau of Automotive Repair, prepare SIP elements and submit them to CARB for review and approval. CARB then forwards SIP revisions to Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan the U.S. EPA for approval and publication in the Federal Register. All of the items included in the California SIP are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 52.220. Regional and Local Regulations Air Quality Management Plan The BAAQMD is responsible for assuring that the federal and State ambient air quality standards are attained and maintained in the Bay Area. The BAAQMD is also responsible for adopting and enforcing rules and regulations concerning air pollutant sources, issuing permits for stationary sources of air pollutants, inspecting stationary sources of air pollutants, responding to citizen complaints, monitoring ambient air quality and meteorological conditions, awarding grants to reduce motor vehicle emissions, conducting public education campaigns, as well as many other activities. The SFBAAB is designated nonattainment for the federal standards for ozone and PMz.s and in nonattainment for the state standard for ozone, PMz.s, and PMio. The SFBAAB is designated unclassifiable or in attainment for all other federal and state standards. The BAAQMD adopted the 2017 Clean Air Plan (2017 Plan) as an update to the 2010 Clean Air Plan in April 2017. The 2017 Plan provides a regional strategy to protect public health and the climate. Consistent with the GHG reduction targets adopted by the state, the 2017 Plan lays the groundwork for a long-term effort to reduce Bay Area GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 (BAAQMD 2017b). To fulfill state ozone planning requirements, the 2017 Plan includes all feasible measures to reduce emissions of ozone precursors —reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)—and reduce transport of ozone and its precursors to neighboring air basins. In addition, the 2017 Plan builds upon and enhances the BAAQMD's efforts to reduce emissions of fine particulate matter and TAC (BAAQMD 2017b). BAAQMD Rules The BAAQMD implements rules and regulations for emissions that may be generated by various uses and activities. The rules and regulations detail pollution -reduction measures that must be implemented during construction and operation of projects. Rules and regulations relevant to the project include the following: Regulation 8, Rule 3 (Architectural Coatings): This rule limits the quantity of volatile organic compounds that can supplied, sold, applied, and manufactured within the BAAQMD region (2009). CEQA Air Quality Guidelines: The BAAQMD recommends the following fugitive dust control best management practices during construction for all projects (BAAQMD 2017a): ■ All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times daily. ■ All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off -site shall be covered. ■ All visible mud or dirt track -out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited. ■ All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 miles per hour. ■ All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible. H Air Quality Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to five minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points. All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper condition prior to operation. A publicly -visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the County regarding dust complaints shall be posted. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The BAAQMD's phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations. City of Burlingame General Plan The City of Burlingame General Plan was adopted in 2019. Chapter 9, Healthy People and Healthy Places, of the Burlingame General Plan contains goals and policies applicable to the proposed project (City of Burlingame 2019). Goal HP-3 Minimize Exposure of residents and employees of local businesses to harmful air pollutants. Policy HP-3.1 Regional Air Quality Standards. Support regional policies and efforts to improve air quality, and participate in regional planning efforts with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to meet or exceed air quality standards. Policy HP-3.2 Local Air Quality Standards. Work with local businesses, industries, and developers to reduce the impact of stationary and mobile sources of pollution. Ensure that new development does not create cumulative net increases in air pollution, and require Transportation Demand Management Techniques (TDM) when air quality impacts are unavoidable. Policy HP-3.3 Indoor Air Quality Standards. Require that developers mitigate impacts on indoor air quality for new residential and commercial developments, particularly along higher density corridors, near industrial uses, and along the freeway and rail line, such as in North Burlingame, along Rollins Road, and in Downtown. Potential mitigation strategies include installing air filters (MERV 13 or higher), building sound walls, and planting vegetation and trees as pollution buffers. Policy HP-3.4 Air Pollution Reduction. Support regional efforts to improve air quality, reduce auto use, expand infrastructure for alternative transportation, and reduce traffic congestion. Focus efforts to reduce truck idling to two minutes or fewer in industrial and warehouse districts along Rollins Road and the Inner Bayshore. Policy HP-3.5 Wood stove and Fireplace Replacement. Encourage residents to replace wood -burning fireplaces and stoves with cleaner electric heat pumps, natural gas, or propane stoves. Educate the public about financial assistance options through the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's fireplace and wood stove replacement incentive program. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Policy HP-3.6 Caltrain Electrification. Encourage the electrification of Caltrain to eliminate emissions from the rail line. Policy HP-3.7 Proximity to Sensitive Locations. Avoid locating stationary and mobile sources of air pollution near sensitive uses such as residences, schools, childcare facilities, healthcare facilities, and senior living facilities. Where adjacencies exist, include site planning and building features that minimize potential conflicts and impacts. Policy HP-3.8 Proximity to Emission Sources. Avoid locating residential developments and other sensitive uses near significant pollution sources such as freeways and large stationary source emitters. Require Bay Area Air Quality Management District recommended procedures for air modeling and health risk assessment for new sensitive land uses located near sources of toxic air contaminants. Policy HP-3.9 Building Site Design and Operations. Place sensitive uses within development projects (e.g. residences, daycares, medical clinics) as far away from emission sources (including loading docks, busy roads, stationary sources) as possible. Design open space, commercial buildings, or parking garages between sensitive land uses and air pollution sources as a buffer. Locate operable windows, balconies, and building air intakes far away from emission sources. Policy HP-3.10 Truck Routes. Ensure projects that generate truck traffic and existing truck routes avoid sensitive land uses such as residences, schools, day care centers, senior facilities, and residences. Policy PH-3.11 Dust Abatement. Require dust abatement actions for all new construction and redevelopment projects. Policy HP-3.12 Construction Best Management Practices. Require construction projects to implement the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Best Practices for Construction to reduce pollution from dust and exhaust as feasible; require construction projects to transition to electrically -powered construction equipment as it becomes available; and seek construction contractors who use alternative fuels in their equipment fleet. 2.1.4 Current Air Quality The BAAQMD operates a network of air quality monitoring stations throughout the SFBAAB. The purpose of the monitoring stations is to measure ambient concentrations of pollutants and to determine whether ambient air quality meets the California and federal standards. The SFBAAB monitoring station closest to the project site is the Redwood City Station at 897 Barron Avenue, which is located approximately 12 miles southeast of the project area. This monitoring station measures ozone, NO,, and PM2.5. For PMlo measurements, the San Francisco -Arkansas station at 10 Arkansas Street was used. This monitoring station is located approximately 12 miles north of the project area. Table 4 indicates the number of days that each of the federal and State standards has been exceeded at this station in each year from 2019 to 2021. One -hour ozone exceeded State thresholds once in 2020, and eight -hour ozone exceeded both State and federal thresholds twice in 2019 and IA Air Quality once in 2020. PM2.5 exceeded federal thresholds nine times in 2020. PMlo exceeded State thresholds twice in 2020. No other thresholds were exceeded in the years 2019 through 2021.

They are designed to protect people most susceptible to respiratory distress, such as children under 14; persons over 65; persons engaged in strenuous work or exercise; and people with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases. Therefore, most of the sensitive receptor locations are schools, hospitals, senior living centers, and residential areas. The project area currently includes mainly commercial, industrial, and office uses, with no residential uses and one sensitive receptor, the Pied Piper Players (drama school). The nearest sensitive receptors outside of the Specific Plan area are single-family homes located adjacent to California Drive, approximately 275 feet southwest of the project area. 2.2 Impact Analysis a. Thresholds of Significance To determine whether a project would result in a significant impact to air quality, Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines requires consideration of whether a project would: Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 13 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 1. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan; 2. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non -attainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard; 3. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations; or 4. Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people. BAAQMD Significance Thresholds The plan -level thresholds specified in the May 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines were used to determine whether the proposed project impacts exceed the thresholds identified in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. Consistency with the Air Quality Plan Under BAAQMD's methodology, a determination of consistency with CEQA Guidelines thresholds should demonstrate that a project: 1. Supports the primary goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan; 2. Includes applicable control measures from the 2017 Clean Air Plan; and 3. Does not disrupt or hinder implementation of any 2017 Clean Air Plan control measures. Construction Emissions Thresholds The BAAQMD's May 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines have no plan -level significance thresholds for construction air pollutants emissions. However, they do include project -level screening and emissions thresholds for temporary construction -related emissions of air pollutants. These thresholds represent the levels at which a project's individual emissions of criteria air pollutants or precursors would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to the SFBAAB's existing air quality conditions and are discussed in detail below (BAAQMD 2017a). Construction emissions associated with plan implementation are discussed qualitatively to evaluate potential air quality impacts. The BAAQMD developed screening criteria in the 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines to provide lead agencies and project applicants with a conservative indication of whether a project could result in potentially significant air quality impacts. The screening criteria for residential land uses are shown in Table 5. 14 Air Quality Table 5 BAAQMD Criteria Air Pollutant Screening Levels Operational Land Use Type Pollutant Screening Size (clu) Pollutant Screening Size (du) Single-family 325 (NOx) 114 (ROG) Apartment, low-rise 451 (ROG) 240 (ROG) Apartment, mid -rise 494 (ROG) 240 (ROG) Apartment, high-rise 510 (ROG) 249 (ROG) Condo/townhouse, general 451 (ROG) 240 (ROG) Condo/townhouse, high-rise 511 (ROG) 252 (ROG) Mobile home park 450 (ROG) 114 (ROG) Retirement community 487 (ROG) 114 (ROG) Congregate care facility 657 (ROG) 240 (ROG) du = dwelling unit; NOx = oxides of nitrogen; ROG = reactive organic gases Source: BAAQMD 2017a If a project meets the screening criteria, then the lead agency or applicant would not need to perform a detailed air quality assessment of their project's air pollutant emissions. These screening levels are generally representative of new development on greenfield sites without any form of mitigation measures taken into consideration (BAAQMD 2017a). In addition to the screening levels above, several additional factors are outlined in the 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines that construction activities must satisfy for a project to meet the construction screening criteria: ■ All basic construction measures from the 2017 CEQA Guidelines must be included in project design and implemented during construction ■ Construction -related activities would not include any of the following: 13 Demolition 13 Simultaneous occurrence of more than two construction phases (e.g., paving and building construction would occur simultaneously) 13 Simultaneous construction of more than one land use type (e.g., project would develop residential and commercial uses on the same site) (not applicable to high density infill development) 13 Extensive material transport (e.g., greater than 10,000 cubic yards of soil import/export) requiring a considerable amount of haul truck activity For projects that do not meet the screening criteria above, the BAAQMD construction significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants, shown in Table 6, are used to evaluate a project's potential air quality impacts.

For projects that exceed the thresholds in Table 6, the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommends implementation of the Additional Construction Mitigation Measures listed in Table 8-3 of the Guidelines (BAAQMD 2017a). Operation Emissions Thresholds The BAAQMD's 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines contain specific operational plan -level significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants. Plans must show the following over the planning period: ■ Consistency with current air quality plan control measures, and Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) or vehicle trips increase is less than or equal to the plan's projected population increase. If a plan can demonstrate consistency with both criteria, then impacts would be less than significant. The current air quality plan is the 2017 Clean Air Plan. For project -level thresholds, the screening criteria for operational emissions are shown in Table 5. For projects that do not meet the screening criteria, the BAAQMD operational significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants, shown in Table 6, are used to evaluate a project's potential air quality impacts. Carbon Monoxide Hotspots BAAQMD provides a preliminary screening methodology to conservatively determine whether a proposed project would exceed CO thresholds. If the following criteria are met, the individual project would result in a less than significant impact related to local CO concentrations: 1. The project is consistent with an applicable congestion management program established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways, regional transportation plan, and local congestion management agency plans; 2. Project traffic would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 44,000 vehicles per hour; and Air Quality 3. Project traffic would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 24,000 vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited (e.g., tunnel, parking garage, bridge underpass, natural or urban street canyon, below -grade roadway). Toxic Air Contaminants For health risks associated with TAC and PM2.5 emissions, the BAAQMD May 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines state a project would result in a significant impact if the any of the following thresholds are exceeded (BAAQMD 2017a): ■ Non-compliance with Qualified Community Risk Reduction Plan; Increased cancer risk of > 10.0 in a million; ■ Increased non -cancer risk of > 1.0 Hazard Index (Chronic or Acute); or Ambient PM2.5 increase of > 0.3 µg/m3 annual average Lead Projects would be required to comply with BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 1 (Lead), which is intended to control the emission of lead into the atmosphere. Asbestos Demolition of buildings would be subject to BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2 (Asbestos Demolition, Renovation, and Manufacturing). BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2 is intended to limit asbestos emissions from demolition and the associated disturbance of asbestos -containing waste material generated or handled during these activities. This rule requires notification of BAAQMD of any regulated demolition activity, and contains specific requirements for surveying, notification, removal, and disposal of material containing asbestos. Impacts related to asbestos emissions from projects that comply with Regulation 11, Rule 2 are considered to be less than significant since the regulation would ensure the proper and safe disposal of asbestos containing material. Odors The BAAQMD provides minimum distances for siting of new odor sources shown in Table 7. A significant impact would occur if the project would result in other emissions (such as odors) affecting substantial numbers of people or would site a new odor source as shown in Table 7 within the specified distances of existing receptors. Table 7 BAAQMD Odor Source Thresholds Wastewater Treatment Plant Wastewater Pumping Facilities Sanitary Landfill Transfer Station Composting Facility Petroleum Refinery Asphalt Batch Plant Chemical Manufacturing Fiberglass Manufacturing Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 17 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Painting/Coating Operations Rendering Plant Source: BAAQMD 2017a b. Methodology Construction Emissions Construction -related emissions are temporary but may still result in adverse air quality impacts. Construction of development associated with the proposed project would generate temporary emissions from three primary sources: the operation of construction vehicles (e.g., scrapers, loaders, dump trucks, etc.); ground disturbance during site preparation and grading, which creates fugitive dust; and the application of asphalt, paint, or other oil -based substances. At this time, there is not sufficient detail to allow project -level analysis and thus it would be speculative to analyze project -level impacts. Rather, consistent with the programmatic nature of the project, construction impacts for the proposed project are discussed qualitatively and emissions are not compared to the project -level thresholds. Operation Emissions Based on plan -level guidance from the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, long-term operational emissions associated with implementation of the proposed project are discussed qualitatively by comparing the proposed project to the 2017 Clean Air Plan goals, policies, and control measures. In addition, comparing the rate of increase of plan VMT and population is recommended by BAAQMD for determining significance of criteria pollutants. If the proposed project does not meet either criterion then impacts would be potentially significant. c. Findings of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR The Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR found that the 2040 General Plan would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan and would not result in an increase in VMT that is more than the projected population increase. Thus, the 2040 General Plan would not result in significant increases in criteria air pollutants or precursor pollutant emissions and impacts would be less than significant. The Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR found that although implementation of the 2040 General Plan would result in new sensitive receptors that could be exposed to localized concentrations of TACs of PM2.5, and could also result in new sources of TACs that could impact existing sensitive receptors, policies in the 2040 General Plan would ensure potentially adverse community risks and hazards are adequately evaluated and addressed. Therefore, impacts related to TACs and PM2.5 would be less than significant. The Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR stated that the 2040 General Plan does not directly authorize any new potential odor sources within the City. However, implementation of the 2040 General Plan would result in new sensitive receptors that could be exposed to odors from existing or new industrial and commercial sources. The Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR found that policies in the 2040 General Plan would protect residents and employees from odors by ensuring developers mitigate indoor air quality and evaluating the location of new emissions sources and new receptors. Therefore, impacts related to odors would be less than significant (City of Burlingame 2018). V Air Quality 2.2.1 Project Impacts Impact 1 Increases in Criteria Air Pollutants and Precursor Emissions Consistency with 2017 Clean Air Plan The California Clean Air Act requires air districts to create a Clean Air Plan that describes how the jurisdiction will meet air quality standards. These plans must be updated periodically. The most recently adopted air quality plan for the SFBAAB is the 2017 Clean Air Plan. To fulfill State ozone planning requirements, the 2017 control strategy includes all feasible measures to reduce emissions of ozone precursors (reactive organic gases [ROG] and nitrogen oxides [NOx]) and reduce the transport of ozone and its precursors to neighboring air basins. In addition, the 2017 Clean Air Plan builds upon and enhances BAAQMD's efforts to reduce emissions of PM2.5 and toxic air contaminants (TACs). The 2017 Clean Air Plan does not include control measures that apply directly to individual development projects. Instead, the control strategy includes measures related to stationary sources, transportation, energy, buildings, agriculture, natural and working lands, waste management, water, and super -greenhouse gas pollutants (BAAQMD 2017b). The 2017 Plan focuses on two paramount goals (BAAQMD 2017b): ■ Protect air quality and health at the regional and local scale by attaining all state and national air quality standards and eliminating disparities among Bay Area communities in cancer health risk from TACs; and ■ Protect the climate by reducing Bay Area GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 Under BAAQMD's methodology, a determination of consistency with the 2017 Plan should demonstrate that a project: ■ Supports the primary goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan; ■ Includes applicable control measures from the 2017 Clean Air Plan; and ■ Would not disrupt or hinder implementation of any control measures in the 2017 Clean Air Plan. A project that would not support the 2017 Clean Air Plan's goals would not be considered consistent with the plan. On an individual project basis, consistency with BAAQMD's quantitative thresholds is interpreted as demonstrating support for the 2017 Clean Air Plan's goals. The North Rollins Specific Plan would decrease the amount of office and industrial uses and encourage denser and an increased number of multi -family housing units compared to the General Plan EIR, in a location near the Millbrae Transit Center (located approximately 1,100 feet north of the project area). The Millbrae Transit Center provides access to Caltrain, BART, San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans), and local community shuttle services. By allowing for the easier use of alternative modes of transportation through proximity to services, jobs, bus stops, BART stations, and bicycle routes, development facilitated by the project would reduce the use of personal vehicles and subsequent mobile emissions than if development were placed further from transit. In addition, development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 regulations, including requirements for residential indoor air quality. The analysis is based on compliance with 2022 Title 24 requirements although individual projects developed under the plan would be required to comply with the most current version of Title 24 at the time of project construction. These requirements currently mandate Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value 13 (or Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 19 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan equivalent) filters for heating/cooling systems and ventilation systems in residences (Section 150.0[m]) or implementation of future standards that would be anticipated to be equal to or more stringent than current standards. Therefore, the project would improve air quality compared to development farther from transit and services through reducing VMT and would protect public health through stringent requirements for MERV-13 filters or equivalent indoor air quality measures, which would be consistent with the primary goals of the 2017 Clean Air Plan. Table 8 Project Consistency with Applicable 2017 Plan Control Measures Transportation TR9: Bicycle and Pedestrian Access and Consistent: The North Rollins Specific Plan contains requirements Facilities. Encourage planning for bicycle and and guidelines for bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Section pedestrian facilities in local plans, e.g., general 3.5.1 of the North Rollins Specific Plan incorporates a complete and specific plans, fund bike lanes, routes, paths streets approach through facilitating pedestrian circulation within and bicycle parking facilities. and adjacent to the project area to minimize automobile trip generation, and encouraging improvements to the circulation and mobility system through providing designated Class II bicycle routes on both sides of Rollins Road and Class III bicycle routes in other Specific Plan areas. Future development would be required to comply with Section 5.7e of the North Rollins Specific Plan, which outlines bicycle parking requirements for residential land uses at a minimum of 0.05 spaces per unit for short-term visitor bicycle parking and 0.5 spaces per unit for long-term resident bicycle parking. Exhibit 3.3 of the North Rollins Specific Plan shows proposed sidewalks, bicycle routes, and crossings under the project which serve to increase and enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the project area. Energy EN2: Decrease Electricity Demand. Work with Consistent: Future multi -family and commercial development local governments to adopt additional energy- facilitated under the project would be required to comply with the efficiency policies and programs. Support local city's Reach Code, or Ordinance 1980, which exceeds the energy government energy efficiency program via best efficiency standards of the California Energy Code. The Reach Code practices, model ordinances, and technical requires all -electric new construction, and inclusion of solar support. Work with partners to develop systems in the form of a solar zone with a total area no less than messaging to decrease electricity demand during 15 percent of the total roof area of the building (City of Burlingame peak times. 2020). Additionally, for future multi -family development, pursuant to Ordinance 1980, 10 percent of dwelling units with parking spaces would be required to be provided with at least one Level 2 EV Ready space, and the remaining dwelling units with parking space(s) would be required to be provided with at least one Level 1 EV Ready space and have conduit installed to accommodate potential future Level 2 charging demands (City of Burlingame 2020). Future development would also be required to comply with Chapter 4.4 of the North Rollins Specific Plan, which lists sustainability guidelines for building design, energy conservation, and water (City of Burlingame 2022a). 20 Air Quality Buildings BL1: Green Buildings. Collaborate with partners such as KyotoUSA to identify energy -related improvements and opportunities for on -site renewable energy systems in school districts; investigate funding strategies to implement upgrades. Identify barriers to effective local implementation of the CALGreen (Title 24) statewide building energy code; develop solutions to improve implementation/enforcement. Work with ABAG's BayREN program to make additional funding available for energy -related projects in the buildings sector. Engage with additional partners to target reducing emissions from specific types of buildings. Water WR2: Support Water Conservation. Develop a list of best practices that reduce water consumption and increase on -site water recycling in new and existing buildings; incorporate into local planning guidance. Source: BAAQMD 2017b Consistent: Future development facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan would be required to comply with the energy and sustainability standards of Title 24 (including the California Energy Code and CALGreen) and the City's associated amendments that are in effect at that time. For example, the current CALGreen standards require a minimum 65 percent diversion of construction/demolition waste and the BMC Section 8.17.030(a) requires at least 60 percent of diversion. The city's Reach Code requires all -electric new construction, and inclusion of solar systems in the form of a solar zone with a total area no less than 15 percent of the total roof area of the building (City of Burlingame 2020). Additionally, Section 4.4.3 of the North Rollins Specific Plan includes guidelines for sustainable lighting such as using high - efficacy solid-state light emitting diode (LED) lighting for outdoor applications and using appropriate color spectral distribution to reduce glare. Consistent: Future development requiring new or expanded water service would be required to comply with San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's (SFPUC) water efficiency regulations, which include water use restrictions and water efficient irrigation rules (SFPUC 2019). Additionally, Section 4.4.5 of the North Rollins Specific Plan requires future development to comply with BMC Chapter 18.17 (Water Conservation in Landscape), and to implement greywater recycling programs where feasible. As shown in Table 8, the project would be consistent with the applicable measures as development facilitated by it would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 regulations and would increase density in urban areas, allowing for greater use of alternative modes of transportation. Development facilitated by the project does not contain elements that would disrupt or hinder implementation of a 2017 Clean Air Plan control measures. Therefore, the project would conform to this determination of consistency for the 2017 Clean Air Plan and would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Criteria Air Pollutant Emissions - Construction Construction activities such as demolition, grading, construction worker travel, delivery and hauling of construction supplies and debris, and fuel combustion by on -site construction equipment would generate pollutant emissions. These construction activities would temporarily create emissions of dust, fumes, equipment exhaust, and other air contaminants, particularly during site preparation and grading. The extent of daily emissions, particularly ROGs and NOx emissions, generated by construction equipment, would depend on the quantity of equipment used and the hours of operation for each project. The extent of PM2.5 and PM10 emissions would depend upon the following factors: 1) the amount of disturbed soils; 2) the length of disturbance time; 3) whether existing structures are demolished; 4) whether excavation is involved; and 5) whether transporting excavated materials offsite is necessary. Dust emissions can lead to both nuisance and health impacts. According to the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, PM10 is the greatest pollutant of concern during construction (BAAQMD 2017a). Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 21 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan As discussed above, BAAQMD's 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines have no plan -level significance thresholds for construction air pollutant emissions that would apply to the project. However, the guidelines include project -level thresholds for construction emissions. If an individual project is subject to CEQA and has construction emissions that fall below the project -level thresholds, the project's impacts on regional air quality would be individually and cumulatively less than significant. The BAAQMD has identified feasible fugitive dust control measures for construction activities, and recommends implementation of eight Basic Construction Mitigation Measures to reduce fugitive dust levels. Future development facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan would be required to comply with Goal HP-3 and policies within the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan. Policy HP-3.10 ensures projects that generate truck traffic and existing truck routes avoid sensitive land uses to reduce sensitive receptor exposure to dust and exhaust emissions from trucks; Policy HP-3.11 requires dust abatement actions for all new construction to reduce fugitive dust and PM10 emissions from construction activities; and Policy HP-3.12 requires projects to implement BAAQMD's Basic Construction Mitigation Measures to reduce pollution from dust and exhaust. Therefore, similar to the finding in the 2040 General Plan EIR, construction emission impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. FUGITIVE DUST EMISSIONS Site preparation and grading during construction activities facilitated by development under the proposed project may cause wind-blown dust that could contribute particulate matter into the local atmosphere. The BAAQMD has not established a quantitative threshold for fugitive dust emissions but rather states that projects that incorporate best management practices (BMPs) for fugitive dust control during construction would have a less than significant impact related to fugitive dust emissions. As described above, future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with Goal HP-3 and Policies HP-3.10 through 3.12 of the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan, which requires implementation of dust abatement actions and BAAQMD's Basic Construction Mitigation Measures. Therefore, similar to the finding in the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR, fugitive dust emission impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Criteria Air Pollutant Emissions — Operation The proposed North Rollins Specific Plan would accommodate new residential, commercial, and industrial uses that will operate through the Specific Plan horizon year of 2040. Long-term criteria pollutant emissions would result from the operation of potential residential, retail, and light industrial uses supported by the North Rollins Specific Plan. Operational air quality emissions are evaluated in terms of area source emissions, energy demand emissions, and mobile emissions. Area source emissions are the combination of many small emission sources that include use of outdoor landscape maintenance equipment, use of consumer products such as cleaning products, and periodic repainting of a project. Energy demand emissions result from use of electricity and natural gas. Mobile emissions result from automobile and other vehicle sources associated with daily trips to and from the project vicinity. The North Rollins Specific Plan would provide 358 more multi -family residential units than allowed under the 2040 General Plan, for a total of 1,557 multi -family residential units. As shown in Table 7- 8 of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR, the 2040 General Plan would likely lead to increases in emissions in the SFBAAB, and the North Rollins Specific Plan would most likely result in similar 22 Air Quality emissions since it would increase the number of residential units but decrease the amount of office and industrial uses. Nonetheless, development of future projects within the planning area would be subject to the City's standard CEQA review process and would be required to assess project -specific emissions in relation to the BAAQMD significance thresholds. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with Policy HP-2.7 of the Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan, which encourages homeowners to install solar power systems; Policy HP-3.1, which ensures compliance with BAAQMD regulations and air quality standards; Policy HP-3.3, which require future developers mitigate impacts on indoor air quality for new residential development; and Policy HP- 3.5, which encourages residents to replace wood -burning fireplaces and stoves with cleaner electric heat pumps, natural gas, or propane stoves. Future development would also be required to comply with the 2040 General Plan's Community Character, Mobility, and Infrastructure Elements, which contain land use, transportation, and infrastructure policies that would provide air quality benefits from sustainable land use planning and design consideration, complete streets and other mobility considerations that would reduce vehicle trips, and infrastructure planning to support alternative means of transportation. Therefore, similar to the finding in the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR, operational emissions impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Project VMT and Population Growth According to the BAAQMD 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, the threshold for criteria air pollutants and precursors includes an assessment of the rate of increase of plan WIT versus population growth. The project would add 358 multi -family dwelling units to the area. Per the project's VMT screening evaluation, the project only has a 3.4 VMT per resident/capita compared to the County's baseline value of 13.52 VMT per resident/capita (Urban Crossroads 2022). This much lower number demonstrates the VMT efficiency of the North Rollins Specific Plan area that would place future residents in a dense, urban environment near alternative modes of transportation. Therefore, the project's VMT would not conflict with the BAAQMD's 2017 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines operational plan -level significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants and would be consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan. Accordingly, impacts would be less than significant, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Impact 2 Community Risks and Hazards Carbon Monoxide Hotspots A CO hotspot is a localized concentration of CO that is above a CO ambient air quality standard. The entire Basin is in conformance with state and federal CO standards, as indicated by the recent air quality monitoring. There are no current exceedances of CO standards within the air district and the Bay Area has not exceeded CO standards since before 1994.2 For 2019, the Bay Area's reported maximum 1-hour and average daily concentrations of CO were 5.6 ppm and 1.7 ppm respectively (BAAQMD 2019).3 These are well below the respective 1-hour and 8-hour standards of 20 ppm and 9 ppm. Given the ambient concentrations, which includes mobile as well as stationary sources, a project in the Bay Area would need to emit concentrations three times the hourly maximum ambient emissions for all sources before project emissions would exceed the 1-hour standard. Additionally, the project would need to emit seven times the daily average for ambient 2 BAAQMD only has records for annual air quality summaries dating back to 1994. 3 Data for 2019 was used as the data for 2020 and 2021 are not currently available. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 23 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan concentrations to exceed the 8-hour standards. Typical development projects, even plan level growth, would not emit the levels of CO necessary to result in a localized hot spot. Therefore, impacts to CO hotspots would be less than significant, consistent with the findings in the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Toxic Air Contaminants In the Bay Area, there are several urban or industrialized communities where the exposure to TACs is relatively high in comparison to others. According to BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines (Figure 5-1), the city is not located in an impacted community. Sources of TACs include, but are not limited to, land uses such as freeways and high -volume roadways, truck distribution centers, ports, rail yards, refineries, chrome plating facilities, dry cleaners using perch loroethylene, and gasoline dispensing facilities (BAAQMD 2017a). Operation of development facilitated by the project would not involve these uses; therefore, it is not considered a source of TACs. Furthermore, residences do not typically include new stationary sources onsite, such as emergency diesel generators. However, if residences did include a new stationary source onsite, it would be subject to BAAQMD Regulation 2, Rule 2 (New Source Review) and require permitting. This process would ensure that the stationary source does not exceed applicable BAAQMD health risk thresholds. As discussed in the 2040 General Plan EIR, the 2040 General Plan would not result in a significant community risk and hazard impact if the land use diagram identifies special overlay zones around existing and planned sources of TACs and PM2.5, including special overlay zones of at least 500 feet on each side of all freeways and high -volume roadways. Moreover, the CARB Air Quality and Land Use Handbook recommends avoiding the siting of new sensitive land uses within: ■ 300 feet of large gasoline fueling stations (with a throughput of more than 3.6 million gallons of gasoline per year); ■ 300 feet of dry cleaning operations; ■ 500 feet of freeways, urban roads with 100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles/day; and ■ 1,000 feet of a major rail service or maintenance yard. Although the 2040 General Plan Land Use Diagram and the North Rollins Specific Plan Land Use Diagram do not graphically depict overlay zones around specific, existing sources of TACs, future development facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan would be required to comply with Goal HP-3 and policies within the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan which clearly state guidelines for projects and areas of the City where risks would be minimized, and ensure reduction of potential TAC emissions and associated adverse health risk impacts to a less than significant level. Policy HP-3.2 requires Transportation Demand Management (TDM) techniques when air quality impacts are unavoidable; Policy HP-3.3 requires future developers mitigate impacts on indoor air quality for new residential development by installing air filters (MERV 13 or higher), building sound walls, and planting vegetation and trees as pollution buffers; Policy HP- 3.7 prevents locating stationary and mobile sources of air pollution near sensitive receptors; Policy HP-3.8 prevents locating residential developments near significant pollution sources and requires BAAQMD recommended procedures for air modeling and health risk assessment for new sensitive land uses located near sources of TACs; and Policy HP-3.9 ensures placing sensitive uses as far away from emission sources as possible. Therefore, operational impacts from TAC emissions would be less than significant, consistent with the findings in the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR. The project 24 Air Quality would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Asbestos BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2 is intended to limit asbestos emissions from demolition or renovation of structures and the associated disturbance of asbestos -containing waste material generated or handled during these activities (BAAQMD 2017a). The rule addresses the national emissions standards for asbestos along with some additional requirements. The rule requires the Lead Agency and its contractors to notify BAAQMD of any regulated renovation or demolition activity. This notification includes a description of structures and methods utilized to determine whether asbestos -containing materials are potentially present. All asbestos -containing material found on the site must be removed prior to demolition or renovation activity in accordance with BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2, including specific requirements for surveying, notification, removal, and disposal of material containing asbestos. Therefore, individual projects that comply with Regulation 11, Rule 2 would ensure that asbestos -containing materials would be disposed of appropriately and safely. By complying with BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2, thereby minimizing the release of airborne asbestos emissions, demolition activity would not result in a significant impact to air quality. Per the BAAQMD Guidelines, because BAAQMD Regulation 11, Rule 2 is in place, no further analysis about the demolition of asbestos -containing materials is needed in a CEQA document (BAAQMD 2017). Impact 3 Odors During construction activities, heavy equipment and vehicles would emit odors associated with vehicle and engine exhaust both during normal use and when idling. However, these odors would be temporary and transitory and would cease upon completion. Therefore, development facilitated by the project would not generate objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. Table 6 provides BAAQMD odor screening distances for land uses with the potential to generate substantial odor complaints. Those uses include wastewater treatment plants, landfills or transfer stations, refineries, composting facilities, confined animal facilities, food manufacturing, smelting plants, and chemical plants. As development facilitated by the project compared to the 2040 General Plan would be increased residential and reduction in industrial and office uses, none of the identified uses would occur. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with Goal HP-3 and policies within the Healthy People, Healthy Places Element of the 2040 General Plan that outline guidelines to protect residents and employees from harmful pollutants, including odors. Policy HP-3.2 requires local businesses, industries, and developers to reduce the impact of stationary and mobile sources of odors; Policy HP-3.3 requires future developers mitigate impacts on indoor air quality for new residential development by installing air filters (MERV 13 or higher), building sound walls, and planting vegetation and trees as pollution buffers; Policy HP-3.7 ensures stationary and mobile sources of air pollutants such as odors are not located near sensitive receptors; and Policy HP-3.9 outlines requirements for building site design and operations to place sensitive uses within development projects away from sources of emission, including odors. Therefore, development facilitated by the project would not generate objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. This impact would be less than significant and consistent with the findings in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 25 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions 3.1 Environmental and Regulatory Setting 3.1.1 Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases Climate change is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans along with other substantial changes in climate (such as wind patterns, precipitation, and storms) over an extended period. The term "climate change" is often used interchangeably with the term "global warming," but climate change is preferred because it conveys that other changes are happening in addition to rising temperatures. The baseline against which these changes are measured originates in historical records that identify temperature changes that occurred in the past, such as during previous ice ages. The global climate is changing continuously, as evidenced in the geologic record which indicates repeated episodes of substantial warming and cooling. The rate of change has typically been incremental, with warming or cooling trends occurring over the course of thousands of years. The past 10,000 years have been marked by a period of incremental warming, as glaciers have steadily retreated across the globe. However, scientists have observed acceleration in the rate of warming over the past 150 years. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) expressed that the rise and continued growth of atmospheric CO2 concentrations is unequivocally due to human activities in the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (2021). It is estimated that between the period of 1850 through 2019, that a total of 2,390 gigatonnes of anthropogenic CO2 was emitted (IPCC 2021). It is likely that anthropogenic activities have increased the global surface temperature by approximately 1.07 degrees Celsius between the years 2010 through 2019 (IPCC 2021). Furthermore, since the late 1700s, estimated concentrations of CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere have increased by over 43 percent, 156 percent, and 17 percent, respectively, primarily due to human activity (U.S. EPA 2021a). Emissions resulting from human activities are thereby contributing to an average increase in Earth's temperature. Gases that absorb and re -emit infrared radiation in the atmosphere are called GHGs. The gases widely seen as the principal contributors to human -induced climate change include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxides (N2O), fluorinated gases such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Water vapor is excluded from the list of GHGs because it is short-lived in the atmosphere, and natural processes, such as oceanic evaporation, largely determine its atmospheric concentrations. GHGs are emitted by natural processes and human activities. Of these gases, CO2 and CH4 are emitted in the greatest quantities from human activities. Emissions of CO2 are usually by-products of fossil fuel combustion, and CH4 results from off -gassing associated with agricultural practices and landfills. Human -made GHGs, many of which have greater heat -absorption potential than CO2, include fluorinated gases and SF6 (U.S. EPA 2021a). Different types of GHGs have varying global warming potentials (GWP). The GWP of a GHG is the potential of a gas or aerosol to trap heat in the atmosphere over a specified timescale (generally, 100 years). Because GHGs absorb different amounts of heat, a common reference gas (CO2) is used to relate the amount of heat absorbed to the amount of the gas emitted, referred to as "carbon dioxide equivalent" (CO2e), which is the amount of GHG emitted multiplied by its GWP. Carbon 26 Greenhouse Gas Emissions dioxide has a 100-year GWP of one. By contrast, methane has a GWP of 30, meaning its global warming effect is 30 times greater than CO2 on a molecule per molecule basis (IPCC 2021).4 The accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere regulates the earth's temperature. Without the natural heat -trapping effect of GHGs, the earth's surface would be about 33 degrees Celsius (°C) cooler (World Meteorological Organization 2022). GHG emissions from human activities, particularly the consumption of fossil fuels for electricity production and transportation, are believed to have elevated the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere beyond the level of concentrations that occur naturally. 3.1.2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Global Emissions Inventory In 2015, worldwide anthropogenic total 47,000 million MT of CO2e, which is a 43 percent increase from 1990 GHG levels (U.S. EPA 2021b). Specifically, 34,522 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2e of CO2, 8,241 MMT of CO2e of CH4, 2,997 MMT of CO2e of N2O, and 1,001 MMT of CO2e of fluorinated gases were emitted in 2015. The largest source of GHG emissions were energy production and use (includes fuels used by vehicles and buildings), which accounted for 75 percent of the global GHG emissions. Agriculture uses and industrial processes contributed 12 percent and six percent, respectively. Waste sources contributed for three percent and two percent was due to international transportation sources. These sources account for approximately 98 percent because there was a net sinks of two percent from land -use change and forestry. (U.S. EPA 2021b). United States Emissions Inventory Total U.S. GHG emissions were 6,558 MMT of CO2e in 2019. Emissions decreased by 1.7 percent from 2018 to 2019; since 1990, total U.S. emissions have increased by an average annual rate of 0.06 percent for a total increase of 1.8 percent between 1990 and 2019. The decrease from 2018 to 2019 reflects the combined influences of several long-term trends, including population changes, economic growth, energy market shifts, technological changes such as improvements in energy efficiency, and decrease carbon intensity of energy fuel choices. In 2019, the industrial and transportation end -use sectors accounted for 30 percent and 29 percent, respectively, of nationwide GHG emissions while the commercial and residential end -use sectors accounted for 16 percent and 15 percent of nationwide GHG emissions, respectively, with electricity emissions distributed among the various sectors (U.S. EPA 2021c). California Emissions Inventory Based on the CARB California Greenhouse Gas Inventory for 2000-2019, California produced 418.2 MMT of CO2e in 2019, which is 7.2 MMT of CO2e lower than 2018 levels. The major source of GHG emissions in California is the transportation sector, which comprises 40 percent of the state's total GHG emissions. The industrial sector is the second largest source, comprising 21 percent of the state's GHG emissions while electric power accounts for approximately 14 percent (CARB 2021). The magnitude of California's total GHG emissions is due in part to its large size and large population 4 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (2021) Sixth Assessment Report determined that methane has a GWP of 30. However, the 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan published by the California Air Resources Board uses a GWP of 25 for methane, consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (2007) Fourth Assessment Report. Therefore, this analysis utilizes a GWPs from the Fourth Assessment Report. 5 Net sink refers to the taking in of more carbon than can be emitted. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 27 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan compared to other states. However, a factor that reduces California's per capita fuel use and GHG emissions as compared to other states is its relatively mild climate. In 2016, the State of California achieved its 2020 GHG emission reduction target of reducing emissions to 1990 levels as emissions fell below 431 MMT of CO2e (CARB 2022). The annual 2030 statewide target emissions level is 260 MMT of CO2e (CARB 2017). Local Emissions Inventory In 2015, the City of Burlingame emitted approximately 242,489 MT CO2e. Transportation was the largest source of emissions (53 percent), followed by commercial/industrial energy (28 percent). Residential energy contributed 16 percent, and the remaining 3 percent was from solid waste. GHG emission levels fell by approximately 12,672 MT CO2e, or approximately five percent, from 2005 to 2015. Most of the GHG emission reductions are due to increased electricity supplied from renewable sources (e.g., solar and wind power), as required under the State's RPS Program (City of Burlingame 2019). 3.1.3 Potential Effects of Climate Change Globally, climate change has the potential to affect numerous environmental resources through potential impacts related to future air temperatures and precipitation patterns. Each of the past three decades has been warmer than all the previous decades in the instrumental record, 2013 through 2021 all rank among the ten -warmest years on record. It also marked the 45th consecutive year (since 1977) with global temperatures rising above the 20th century average (NOAA 2022). Furthermore, several independently analyzed data records of global and regional Land -Surface Air Temperature (LSAT) obtained from station observations jointly indicate that LSAT and sea surface temperatures have increased. According to California's Fourth Climate Change Assessment, statewide temperatures from 1986 to 2016 were approximately 0.6 to 1.1'C higher than those recorded from 1901 to 1960. Potential impacts of climate change in California may include reduced water supply from snowpack, sea level rise, more extreme heat days per year, more large forest fires, and more drought years (State of California 2018). In addition to statewide projections, California's Fourth Climate Change Assessment includes regional reports that summarize climate impacts and adaptation solutions for nine regions of the state and regionally specific climate change case studies (State of California 2018). However, while there is growing scientific consensus about the possible effects of climate change at a global and statewide level, current scientific modeling tools are unable to predict what local impacts may occur with a similar degree of accuracy. A summary follows of some of the potential effects that could be experienced in California as a result of climate change. Air Quality and Wildfires Scientists project that the annual average maximum daily temperatures in California could rise by 2.4 to 3.2°C (36.32°F to 37.76°F) in the next 50 years and by 3.1 to 4.9°C (37.58'F to 40.82°F) in the next century (State of California 2018). Higher temperatures are conducive to air pollution formation, and rising temperatures could therefore result in worsened air quality in California. As a result, climate change may increase the concentration of ground -level ozone, but the magnitude of the effect, and therefore its indirect effects, are uncertain. In addition, as temperatures have increased in recent years, the area burned by wildfires throughout the state has increased, and wildfires have occurred at higher elevations in the Sierra Nevada Mountains (State of California 2018). If higher temperatures continue to be accompanied by an increase in the incidence and 28 Greenhouse Gas Emissions extent of large wildfires, air quality could worsen. Severe heat accompanied by drier conditions and poor air quality could increase the number of heat -related deaths, illnesses, and asthma attacks throughout the state. However, if higher temperatures are accompanied by wetter, rather than drier conditions, the rains could tend to temporarily clear the air of particulate pollution, which would effectively reduce the number of large wildfires and thereby ameliorate the pollution associated with them (California Natural Resources Agency 2009). Water Supply Analysis of paleoclimatic data (such as tree -ring reconstructions of stream flow and precipitation) indicates a history of naturally and widely varying hydrologic conditions in California and the west, including a pattern of recurring and extended droughts. Uncertainty remains with respect to the overall impact of climate change on future precipitation trends and water supplies in California. Year-to-year variability in statewide precipitation levels has increased since 1980, meaning that wet and dry precipitation extremes have become more common (California Department of Water Resources 2018). This uncertainty regarding future precipitation trends complicates the analysis of future water demand, especially where the relationship between climate change and its potential effect on water demand is not well understood. The average early spring snowpack in the western U.S., including the Sierra Nevada Mountains, decreased by about 10 percent during the last century. During the same period, sea level rose over 0.15 meter along the central and southern California coasts (State of California 2018). The Sierra snowpack provides the majority of California's water supply as snow that accumulates during wet winters is released slowly during the dry months of spring and summer. A warmer climate is predicted to reduce the fraction of precipitation that falls as snow and the amount of snowfall at lower elevations, thereby reducing the total snowpack (State of California 2018). Projections indicate that average spring snowpack in the Sierra Nevada and other mountain catchments in central and northern California will decline by approximately 66 percent from its historical average by 2050 (State of California 2018). Hydrology and Sea Level Rise Climate change could affect the intensity and frequency of storms and flooding (State of California 2018). Furthermore, climate change could induce substantial sea level rise in the coming century. Rising sea level increases the likelihood of and risk from flooding. The rate of increase of global mean sea levels between 1993 to 2020, observed by satellites, is approximately 3.3 millimeters per year, double the twentieth century trend of 1.6 millimeters per year (World Meteorological Organization 2013; National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2020). Global mean sea levels in 2013 were about 0.23 meter higher than those of 1880 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2020). Sea levels are rising faster now than in the previous two millennia, and the rise will probably accelerate, even with robust GHG emission control measures. The most recent IPCC report predicts a mean sea level rise ranging between 0.25 to 0 1.01 meters by 2100 with the sea level ranges dependent on a low, intermediate, or high GHG emissions scenario (IPCC 2021). A rise in sea levels could erode 31 to 67 percent of southern California beaches and cause flooding of approximately 370 miles of coastal highways during 100-year storm events. This would also jeopardize California's water supply due to saltwater intrusion and induce groundwater flooding and/or exposure of buried infrastructure (State of California 2018). Furthermore, increased storm intensity and frequency could affect the ability of flood -control facilities, including levees, to handle storm events. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 29 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Agriculture California has an over $50 billion annual agricultural industry that produces over a third of the country's vegetables and two-thirds of the country's fruits and nuts (California Department of Food and Agriculture 2020). Higher COz levels can stimulate plant production and increase plant water - use efficiency. However, if temperatures rise and drier conditions prevail, certain regions of agricultural production could experience water shortages of up to 16 percent, which would increase water demand as hotter conditions lead to the loss of soil moisture. In addition, crop yield could be threatened by water -induced stress and extreme heat waves, and plants may be susceptible to new and changing pest and disease outbreaks (State of California 2018). Temperature increases could also change the time of year certain crops, such as wine grapes, bloom or ripen, and thereby affect their quality (California Climate Change Center 2006). Ecosystems Climate change and the potential resultant changes in weather patterns could have ecological effects on the global and local scales. Soil moisture is likely to decline in many regions as a result of higher temperatures, and intense rainstorms are likely to become more frequent. Rising temperatures could have four major impacts on plants and animals: timing of ecological events; geographic distribution and range of species; species composition and the incidence of nonnative species within communities; and ecosystem processes, such as carbon cycling and storage (Parmesan 2006; State of California 2018). 3.1.4 Regulatory Setting The following regulations and case law address both climate change and GHG emissions. Federal Regulations Federal GHG Emissions Regulation The U.S. Supreme Court determined in Massachusetts et al. v. Environmental Protection Agency et al. ([2007] 549 U.S. 05-1120) that the USEPA has the authority to regulate motor vehicle GHG emissions under the federal Clean Air Act. The USEPA issued a Final Rule for mandatory reporting of GHG emissions in October 2009. This Final Rule applies to fossil fuel suppliers, industrial gas suppliers, direct GHG emitters, and manufacturers of heavy-duty and off -road vehicles and vehicle engines and requires annual reporting of emissions. In 2012, the USEPA issued a Final Rule that established the GHG permitting thresholds that determine when Clean Air Act permits under the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Operating Permit programs are required for new and existing industrial facilities. In Utility Air Regulatory Group v. Environmental Protection Agency (134 Supreme Court 2427 [2014]), the U.S. Supreme Court held the USEPA may not treat GHGs as an air pollutant for purposes of determining whether a source can be considered a major source required to obtain a Prevention of Significant Deterioration or Title V permit. The Court also held that Prevention of Significant Deterioration permits otherwise required based on emissions of other pollutants may continue to require limitations on GHG emissions based on the application of Best Available Control Technology. In the most recent West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (20-1530 [2022]), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the USEPA may not regulate emissions from coal- and gas -fired power 30 Greenhouse Gas Emissions plants using generation shifting that was implemented as part of the 2015 Clean Power Plan. The Court held that the USEPA is not permitted, under the Clean Air Act, to implement regulations for power plants that were allowed under the Clean Power Plan. However, the Court upheld EPA's authority to continue regulating greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector (Supreme Court 2021). Safer Affordable Fuel -Efficient Vehicles Rule In April 2020, EPA and NHTSA issued the Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule, which required automakers to improve fuel efficiency 1.5 percent annually from model years 2021 through 2026. The SAFE rule also upended State emission programs, and withdrew the waiver for California's Advanced Clean Cars Program, Zero Emission Vehicle Program (ZEV), and Low -Emission Vehicle Program (LEV). In response, California and other states sued in federal court to challenge the final action on preemption of state vehicle standards. In April 2021, the Biden administration, USEPA, and Department of Transportation began the process of dropping limitations on California's waiver. In December 2021, NHTSA issued a repealing of the SAFE Vehicle Rule Part One. In March 2022, USEPA did the same, thereby reinstating California's waiver and the ability of other states to adopt the California standards (Center for Climate and Energy Solutions [C2ES] 2022). State Regulations CARB is responsible for the coordination and oversight of state and local air pollution control programs in California. There are numerous regulations aimed at reducing the state's GHG emissions. These initiatives are summarized below. For more information on the Senate and Assembly Bills, executive orders, building codes, and reports discussed below, and to view reports and research referenced below, please refer to the following websites: https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/reports/californias-fourth-climate-change-assessment, www.arb.ca.gov/cc/cc.htm, and https://www.dgs.ca.gov/BSC/Codes. California Advanced Clean Cars Program Assembly Bill (AB) 1493 (2002), California's Advanced Clean Cars program (referred to as "Pavley"), requires CARB to develop and adopt regulations to achieve "the maximum feasible and cost- effective reduction of GHG emissions from motor vehicles." On June 30, 2009, the U.S. EPA granted the waiver of Clean Air Act preemption to California for its GHG emission standards for motor vehicles, beginning with the 2009 model year, which allows California to implement more stringent vehicle emission standards than those promulgated by the U.S. EPA. Pavley I regulates model years from 2009 to 2016 and Pavley II, now referred to as "LEV (Low Emission Vehicle) III GHG," regulates model years from 2017 to 2025. The Advanced Clean Cars program coordinates the goals of the LEV, Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEV), and Clean Fuels Outlet programs and would provide major reductions in GHG emissions. By 2025, the rules will be fully implemented, and new automobiles will emit 34 percent fewer GHGs and 75 percent fewer smog -forming emissions from their model year 2016 levels. 6 Switching electricity generation from fossil fuels to clean sources. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 31 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32, and Senate Bill 32, and Assembly Bill 1279) California's major initiative for reducing GHG emissions is outlined in AB 32, the "California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006," which was signed into law in 2006. AB 32 codifies the statewide goal of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and requires CARB to prepare a Scoping Plan that outlines the main State strategies for reducing GHGs to meet the 2020 deadline. AB 32 requires CARB to adopt regulations to require reporting and verification of statewide GHG emissions. Based on this guidance, CARB approved a 1990 statewide GHG level and 2020 limit of 427 MMT CO2e. The Scoping Plan was approved by CARB on December 11, 2008 and included measures to address GHG emission reduction strategies related to energy efficiency, water use, and recycling and solid waste, among other measures. Many of the GHG reduction measures included in the Scoping Plan (e.g., Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Advanced Clean Car standards, and Cap -and -Trade) have been adopted since approval of the Scoping Plan. Senate Bill (SB) 32, signed into law on September 8, 2016, extends AB 32 by requiring the State to further reduce GHGs to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (the other provisions of AB 32 remain unchanged). On December 14, 2017, CARB adopted the 2017 Scoping Plan, which provides a framework for achieving the 2030 target. The 2017 Scoping Plan relies on the continuation and expansion of existing policies and regulations, such as the Cap -and -Trade Program, as well as implementation of recently adopted policies and policies, such as SB 350 and SB 1383 (see below). The 2017 Scoping Plan also puts an increased emphasis on innovation, adoption of existing technology, and strategic investment to support its strategies. As with the 2013 Scoping Plan Update, the 2017 Scoping Plan does not provide project -level thresholds for land use development. Instead, it recommends that local governments adopt policies and locally appropriate quantitative thresholds consistent with statewide per capita goals of 6 MT CO2e by 2030 and 2 MT CO2e by 2050 (CARB 2017). As stated in the 2017 Scoping Plan, these goals may be appropriate for plan -level analyses (city, county, subregional, or regional level), but not for specific individual projects because they include all emissions sectors in the State (CARB 2017). AB 1279, "The California Climate Crisis Act," was passed on September 16, 2022, and declares the State would achieve net zero GHG emissions as soon as possible, but no later than 2045, and to achieve and maintain net negative GHG emissions thereafter. In addition, the bill states that the State would reduce GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels no later than 2045. The Draft 2022 Scoping Plan Update has been prepared to assess the progress towards the 2030 target as well as to outline a plan to achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2045. The 2022 Scoping Plan Update focuses on outcomes needed to achieve carbon neutrality by assessing paths for clean technology, energy deployment, natural and working lands, and others, and is designed to meet the State's long- term climate objectives and support a range of economic, environmental, energy security, environmental justice, and public health priorities (CARB 2022). Senate Bill 375 The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (SB 375), signed in August 2008, enhances the state's ability to reach AB 32 goals by directing the CARB to develop regional GHG emission reduction targets to be achieved from passenger vehicles by 2020 and 2035. SB 375 aligns regional transportation planning efforts, regional GHG reduction targets, and affordable housing allocations. Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are required to adopt a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), which allocates land uses in the MPO's Regional Transportation Plan 32 Greenhouse Gas Emissions (RTP). Qualified projects consistent with an approved SCS or Alternative Planning Strategy (categorized as "transit priority projects") can receive incentives to streamline CEQA processing. On March 22, 2018, CARB adopted updated regional targets for reducing GHG emissions from 2005 levels by 2020 and 2035. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)/Association of Bay Area Government (ABAG) was assigned targets of a 10 percent reduction GHGs from per capita GHG emissions from passenger vehicles by 2020 and a 19 percent reduction in per capita GHG emissions from passenger vehicles by 2035. The MTC/ABAG adopted the Plan Bay Area 2040 in July 2017, which meets the requirements of SB 375. MTC/ABAG are currently in the process of updating this RTP/SCS with the Plan Bay Area 2050 document. The draft environmental impact report for the Plan Bay Area 2050 is currently being prepared. Senate Bill 1383 Adopted in September 2016, SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statues of 2016) requires the CARB to approve and begin implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants. SB 1383 requires the strategy to achieve the following reduction targets by 2030: ■ Methane — 40 percent below 2013 levels ■ Hydrofluorocarbons-40 percent below 2013 levels ■ Anthropogenic black carbon — 50 percent below 2013 levels SB 1383 also requires the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), in consultation with the CARB, to adopt regulations that achieve specified targets for reducing organic waste in landfills. Senate Bill 100 Adopted on September 10, 2018, SB 100 supports the reduction of GHG emissions from the electricity sector by accelerating the state's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program, which was last updated by SB 350 in 2015. SB 100 requires electricity providers to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33 percent of total retail sales by 2020, 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2045. Executive Order B-55-18 On September 10, 2018, the former Governor Brown issued Executive Order (EO) B-55-18, which established a new statewide goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 and maintaining net negative emissions thereafter. This goal is in addition to the existing statewide GHG reduction targets established by SB 375, SB 32, SB 1383, and SB 100. Clean Energy, Jobs, and Affordability Act of 2022 (Senate Bill 1020) Adopted on September 16, 2022, SB 1020 creates clean electricity targets for eligible renewable energy resources and zero -carbon resources to supply 90 percent of retail sale electricity by 2035, 95 percent by 2040, 100 percent by 2045, and 100 percent of electricity procured to serve all state agencies by 2035. This bill shall not increase carbon emissions elsewhere in the western grid and shall not allow resource shuffling. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 33 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan California Building Standards Code The CEC first adopted the Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (CCR, Title 24, Part 6) in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce energy consumption in the State. Although not originally intended to reduce GHG emissions, increased energy efficiency, and reduced consumption of electricity, natural gas, and other fuels would result in fewer GHG emissions from residential and nonresidential buildings subject to the standard. The standards are updated periodically to allow for the consideration and inclusion of new energy efficiency technologies and methods. Part 11 of the Title 24 Building Standards is referred to as the California Green Building Standards (CALGreen) Code and was developed to help the State achieve its GHG reduction goals under HSC Division 25.5 (e.g., AB 32) by codifying standards for reducing building -related energy, water, and resource demand, which in turn reduces GHG emissions from energy, water, and resource demand. The purpose of the CALGreen Code is to "improve public health, safety and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings through the use of building concepts having a positive environmental impact and encouraging sustainable construction practices in the following categories: (1) planning and design; (2) energy efficiency; (3) water efficiency and conservation; (4) material conservation and resource efficiency; and (5) environmental air quality." The CALGreen Code is not intended to substitute for or be identified as meeting the certification requirements of any green building program that is not established and adopted by the California Building Standards Commission. The CALGreen Code establishes mandatory measures for new residential and non- residential buildings. Such mandatory measures include energy efficiency, water conservation, material conservation, planning and design, and overall environmental quality. On August 11, 2021, the CEC adopted the 2022 Title 24 Standards, which go into effect on January 1, 2023. The 2022 standards continue to improve upon the previous (2019) Title 24 standards for new construction of, and additions and alterations to, residential and non-residential buildings (CEC 2022a). The 2022 Title 24 Standards "build on California's technology innovations, encouraging energy efficient approaches to encourage building decarbonization, emphasizing in particular on heat pumps for space heating and water heating. This set of Energy Codes also extends the benefits of photovoltaic and battery storage systems and other demand flexible technology to work in combinations with heat pumps to enable California buildings to be responsive to climate change. This Energy code also strengthens ventilation standards to improve indoor air quality. This update provides crucial steps in the state's progress toward 100 percent clean carbon neutrality by midcentury" (CEC 2022b). The 2022 Energy Code is anticipated to reduce GHG emissions by 10 MMT Of COze over the next 30 years and result in approximately 1.5 billion dollars in consumer savings (CEC 2022c). Compliance with Title 24 is enforced through the building permit process. Regional and Local Regulations Bay Area Air Quality Management District In 2013, the BAAQMD adopted resolution no. 2013-11, "Resolution Adopting a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal and Commitment to Develop a Regional Climate Protection Strategy" that builds on state and regional climate protection efforts by (BAAQMD 2013): 1. Setting a goal for the Bay Area region to reduce GHG emissions by 2050 to 80 percent below 1990 levels 34 Greenhouse Gas Emissions 2. Developing a Regional Climate Protection Strategy to make progress towards the 2050 goal, using BAAQMD's Clean Air Plan to initiate the process 3. Developing a 10-point work program to guide the BAAQMD's climate protection activities in the near -term The BAAQMD is currently developing the Regional Climate Protection Strategy and has outlined the 10-point work program, which includes policy approaches, assistance to local governments, and technical programs that will help the region make progress toward the 2050 GHG emissions goal. The BAAQMD is responsible for enforcing standards and regulating stationary sources in its jurisdiction, including the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basins and the City of Burlingame. The BAAQMD regulates GHG emissions through specific rules and regulations, as well as project and plan level emissions thresholds for GHGs to ensure that new land use development in the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin contributes to its fair share of emissions reductions (BAAQMD 2017a). Plan Bay Area 2050 Plan Bay Area 2050 is a state -mandated, integrated long-range transportation, land -use, and housing plan that would support a growing economy, provide more housing and transportation choices and reduce transportation -related pollution in the nine -county San Francisco Bay Area (MTC/ABAG 2021). The SCS builds on earlier efforts to develop an efficient transportation network and grow in a financially and environmentally responsible way. Plan Bay Area 2050 focuses on advancing equity and improving resiliency in the Bay Area by creating strategies in the following four elements: Housing, Economy, Transportation, and Environment. The Plan discusses how the future is uncertain due to anticipated employment growth, lack of housing options, and outside forces, such as climate change and economic turbulence. These uncertainties will impact growth in the Bay Area and exacerbate issues for those who are historically and systemically marginalized and underserved and excluded. Thus, Plan Bay Area 2050 has created strategies and considered investments that will serve those systemically underserved communities and provide equitable opportunities. The Plan presents a total of 35 strategies to outline how the $1.4 trillion dollar investment would be utilized. The strategies include, but are not limited to, the following: providing affordable housing, allowing higher -density in proximity to transit -corridors, optimizing the existing roadway network, creating complete streets, providing subsidies for public transit, reducing climate emissions, and expanding open space area. Bringing these strategies to fruition will require participation by agencies, policymakers, and the public. An implementation plan is also included as part of the Plan to assess the requirements needed to carry out the strategies, identify the roles of pertinent entities, create an appropriate method to implement the strategies, and create a timeline for implementation (ABAG/MTC 2021).

City of Burlingame Climate Action Plan Update The City of Burlingame first adopted its Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2009 and recently updated their targets and strategies in the 2030 CAP Update adopted in 2019. The 2030 CAP is a qualified CAP under CEQA Guidelines 15183.5(b)(1) since it quantifies GHG emissions; establishes a level below which the contribution to GHG emissions from activities covered by the plan would not be cumulatively considerable; identifies and analyzes GHG emissions resulting from specific actions or categories of actions; specifies a group of measures that if implemented on a project -by -project basis would collectively achieve the specified emissions level; establishes a mechanism to monitor the plan's progress towards achieving the specified emissions level; and is adopted in a public process following environmental review through an Addendum (City of Burlingame 2019). The 2030 CAP Update GHG emission reduction targets are: ■ 2020: Reduce annual GHG emissions by 15 percent below the City's 2005 GHG emission baseline inventory (comparable to 1990 levels) ■ 2030: Reduce annual GHG emissions by 40 percent below 1990 levels ■ 2040: Reduce annual GHG emissions by 60 percent below 1990 levels ■ 2050: Reduce annual GHG emissions by 80 percent below 1990 levels The City's GHG emission reduction strategy is based on the Burlingame General Plan, and the 2030 CAP Update acts as the implementation tool for climate action. The 2030 CAP Update includes 20 measures, which are either new policies that are introduced or policies already existing in the Burlingame General Plan. The following reduction measures are applicable to the project: ■ Reduction Measure 1: Mixed Use Development, Transit Oriented Development, and Transit Supporting Land Use ■ Reduction Measure 2: Transportation Demand Management ■ Reduction Measure 6: Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Initiatives ■ Reduction Measure 9: Electrification of Yard and Garden Equipment ■ Reduction Measure 10: Construction Best Management Practices ■ Reduction Measure 11: Green Building Practices and Standards ■ Reduction Measure 12: Energy Efficiency ■ Reduction Measure 13: Peninsula Clean Energy ECO100 ■ Reduction Measure 14: Residential Solar Power ■ Reduction Measure 15: Alternatively -Powered Residential Water Heaters Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 37 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan ■ Reduction Measure 17: Water Conservation for New Residential Development ■ Reduction Measure 18: Zero Waste 3.2 Impact Analysis a. Thresholds of Significance To determine whether a project would result in a significant impact related to GHG emissions, Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines requires consideration of whether a project would: 1. Generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment; or 2. Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. Individual projects do not generate enough GHG emissions to create significant project -specific environment effects. However, the environmental effects of a project's GHG emissions can contribute incrementally to cumulative environmental effects that are significant, contributing to climate change, even if an individual project's environmental effects are limited (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064[h][1]). The issue of a project's environmental effects and contribution towards climate change typically involves an analysis of whether a project's contribution towards climate change is cumulatively considerable. Cumulatively considerable means that the incremental effects of an individual project are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064[h][1]). CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.4 recommends that lead agencies quantify GHG emissions of projects and consider several other factors that may be used in the determination of significance of GHG emissions from a project, including the extent to which the project may increase or reduce GHG emissions; whether a project exceeds an applicable significance threshold; and the extent to which the project complies with regulations or requirements adopted to implement a plan for the reduction or mitigation of GHG emissions. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.4 does not establish a threshold of significance. Lead agencies have the discretion to establish significance thresholds for their respective jurisdictions, and in establishing those thresholds, a lead agency may appropriately look to thresholds developed by other public agencies, or suggested by other experts, as long as any threshold chosen is supported by substantial evidence (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.7[c]). BAAQMD recently adopted updated thresholds for evaluating the significance of climate impacts from plan -level projects on April 20, 2022. The updated thresholds state that a plan -level project must either meet the State's goals to reduce emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2045; or be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). As discussed above under Regulatory Setting, the City of Burlingame's 2030 CAP Update includes a GHG emissions inventory; reduction targets for the years 2020 through 2050; forecast projected emissions for activities covered by the Burlingame General Plan; quantification of reduction measures and evaluation of whether General Plan policies and CAP Update actions would collectively achieve the City's GHG reduction targets; a monitoring and reporting process; and adoption in a public process following environmental review. Therefore, since the City's 2030 CAP Update constitutes as a qualified CAP, the project would result in less than significant impacts if it would be consistent with the 2030 CAP Update. 38 Greenhouse Gas Emissions b. Findings of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR The Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR found that the city's community -wide emissions are projected to meet BAAQMD's efficiency metric for 2020 despite being unable to meet their established goal of reducing community -wide emissions in 2020 to 15 percent below 2005 levels. Additionally, although the city's emissions would be consistent with the 2017 Scoping Plan's annual efficiency target for 2030, annual GHG emissions in 2040 would be inconsistent by approximately 1.3 MT COze per capita. Based on the regulations and policies in the 2040 General Plan, it was determined to be unclear whether the City of Burlingame would be able to achieve the State's long- term goal of reducing GHG emissions to 60 percent below 1990 levels by 2040 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Even with implementation of Mitigation Measure 10-1, which required the implementation of additional policies for bicycle sharing, increasing the usage of available shuttles, and increasing ECO100 enrollment within the 2040 General Plan, impacts would still be significant and unavoidable since the city was unable to conclusively demonstrate that implementation of the 2040 General Plan would not generate GHG emissions that exceed the city's existing Year 2020 and future Year 2030 and Year 2040 GHG reduction goals. The Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR found that the 2040 General Plan would conflict with the 2017 Scoping Plan since it would be inconsistent with the State GHG reduction goals and therefore would not support the overarching goals of the 2017 Scoping Plan; Plan Bay Area 2040 since it cannot be assured that the implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan (adopted in 2010) and the North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan (amended in 2007) would reduce per capita passenger vehicle and light duty truck CO2 emissions by seven percent by 2020 and 15 percent by 2035, as compared to the 2005 baseline, and therefore would be inconsistent with the Plan Bay Area 2040 goal to reduce per capita CO2 emissions from passenger vehicles and light duty trucks by 15 percent by 2035; and lastly the 2017 Clean Air Plan since it would be inconsistent with the Plan's goal to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Therefore, the 2040 General Plan would be inconsistent with the above -mentioned plans and impacts would be significant and unavoidable. Impact 1: Increases in GHG Emissions & Impact 2: GHG Plan Consistency Project Consistency with 2030 CAP Update Table 9 shows the project's consistency with applicable 2030 CAP Update actions. As shown in Table 9, the North Rollins Specific Plan would be consistent with applicable actions from the City's 2030 CAP Update. As discussed above under Thresholds of Significance, BAAQMD's updated thresholds state that a plan -level project would have less than significant impact if it would be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). Since the 2030 CAP Update is a qualified CAP, and the proposed project would be consistent with applicable actions within, this impact would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 39 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Table 9 Project Consistency with Applicable Climate Action and Adaptation Plan Actions Reduction Measure 1: Mixed Use Development, Transit Oriented Development, and Transit Supporting Land Use Action: The City shall facilitate and encourage mixed -use and high -density residential development near major transit nodes, consistent with the land use map contained in the Envision Burlingame General Plan. Mixed -use and high density residential developments are located along Broadway, El Camino Real, in the Downtown Specific Planning Area, and other locations throughout the city. Consistent: The North Rollins Specific Plan would decrease the amount of office and industrial uses compared to the General Plan EIR, and would encourage denser residential development and an increased number of multi -family housing units compared to the General Plan EIR, in a location near the Millbrae Transit Center (approximately 1,100 feet north of the project area). The Millbrae Transit Center provides access to Caltrain, BART, SamTrans, and local community shuttle services. Reduction Measure 2: Transportation Demand Management Action: The City shall require new multi -unit residential developments of 10 units or more and commercial developments of 10,000 square feet or more to incorporate TDM strategies that achieve a 20% reduction in trip generation rates below the standard rate published in the latest Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (10th edition), or other reputable source. This trip reduction level may be achieved through site design, transit, bicycle, shuttle, parking restriction, carpooling, or other TDM measures. All TDM plans shall have a designated coordinator who will track the effectiveness of the TDM Program over time and provide a report to city staff annually regarding the effectiveness of the TDM plan. The City shall coordinate with businesses in the Burlingame Avenue Commercial Area and the Broadway Commercial Area to identify and implement actions and strategies that would reduce single -occupancy car trips and VMT. Strategies may include, but are not limited to: carpooling, designated parking for clean air and ridesharing vehicles, transit subsidies, bicycle parking, and employer sponsored shuttles. Consistent: Pursuant to Chapter 25.43 of the BMC, all future multi -family development projects facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan with 10 units or more as well as commercial developments of 10,000 square feet or more would be required to incorporate TDM strategies that are 20 percent lower than the standard rates as established in the most recent edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual. Reduction Measure 6: Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Initiatives Action: The City shall target the installation of three public EV stations by 2020, 25 charging stations by 2030, 50 by 2040, and 75 by 2050.

The City will work with the County of San Mateo and Peninsula Clean Energy to extend and expand rebates and incentives for Level 2 charging stations. The Level 2 charging station requirement will be enacted through an amendment to the Municipal Code by 2020. The amendments shall affect the portion of the Municipal Code covering the 2019 California Building Standards Code, CALGreen (Title 24, Part 11). Single- and multi -family homes (less than or equal to 20 units) shall be constructed such that each home/unit has at least one dedicated parking space with electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) installed. The City shall work with Peninsula Clean Energy and the San Mateo County Office Consistent. For future multi -family development facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan, pursuant to Ordinance 1980, 10 percent of dwelling units with parking spaces would be required to be provided with at least one Level 2 EV Ready space, and the remaining dwelling units with parking space(s) would be required to be provided with at least one Level 1 EV Ready space and have conduit installed to accommodate potential future Level 2 charging demands (City of Burlingame 2020a). For future single-family development and multi -family development with less than or equal to 20 units, each home or unit would be required to include one EVSE parking space. Additionally, pursuant to Ordinance 1981, for future development with 50 percent or greater occupied floor area designated for office uses, when 10 or more parking spaces are constructed and designated to office use, 10 40 Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Sustainability to develop specific language for the amendment. In addition, the City shall develop an Electric Vehicle Strategic Plan (EVSP) that identifies existing charging facilities and EV ownership characteristics in the city, priority areas for installing new public EV infrastructure, opportunities for public/private partnerships, and potential City constraints towards supporting local and statewide goals for EV mode share in 2030 and beyond. The EVSP shall identify and document the actions the City will take each year to promote increased EV use including, but not limited to: 1) partnering with the San Mateo County Office of Sustainability to maximize eff orts on expanding the use and purchase of EVs; 2) providing robust information on the City's website and at City functions regarding the benefits of EVs; 3) encouraging the installation of Level 2 high-speed chargers in residential and commercial developments; 4) seeking opportunities to install signs and other wayfinding devices to assist with locating EV charging infrastructure; 5) developing a task force or working group comprised of City staff and representatives of local automobile dealerships to identify and coordinate regional EV rebate programs, promotions, and other opportunities for EV awareness; and 6) identify a strategy for electrifying the City's existing, municipal vehicle fleet. percent of the designated parking spaces shall be equipped with Level 2 EV Charging space, and an additional 10 percent of the designated spaces shall be provided with at least Level 1 EV Ready spaces (City of Burlingame 2020b). Reduction Measure 9: Electrification of Yard and Garden Equipment Action: The City shall adopt an ordinance prohibiting the use of gasoline- and diesel -powered yard and garden equipment within Burlingame. The City shall explore incentive options for residents and entities who voluntarily transition to electric equipment before the ordinance is enacted. Consistent: Consistent with AB 1346, which would ban the sale of gas -powered yard and garden equipment by 2024, future residents would be prohibited to use gasoline- and diesel -powered yard and garden equipment within Burlingame. Reduction Measure 10: Construction Best Management Practices Action: During the environmental review process, the City shall encourage contractors and developers to voluntarily commit to using a construction contractor that utilizes alternative fuels, and/or employ the use of electrically powered pieces of construction equipment. By 2025, the City will pass an ordinance prohibiting the use of petroleum -based fuel sources for construction equipment less than 120 horsepower unless otherwise demonstrated that no alternative, feasible solutions exist (i.e., such equipment shall be run on a zero GHG emission fuel source). Consistent: In accordance with General Plan Policy HP- 3.12, construction activities for future projects facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan would be required to implement BAAQMD's Basic Construction Mitigation Measures to reduce pollution from dust and exhaust. Additionally, future development would be required to comply with the City's ordinance prohibiting the use of petroleum -based fuel sources for construction equipment less than 120 horsepower once it is adopted. Reduction Measure 11: Green Building Practices and Standards Action: The City shall encourage new residential and non-residential development to comply with the State's Tier 1 and Tier 2 voluntary energy efficiency provisions.

The city's Reach Code requires all -electric new construction, and inclusion of solar systems in the form of a solar zone with a total area no less than 15 percent of the total roof area of the building (City of Burlingame Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 41 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan banning natural gas utility infrastructure from being supplied to new structures. Alternatively, the City may explore ways to restrict and/or ban the installation of appliances that consume natural gas (e.g., cooking ranges, water heaters, etc.). Reduction Measure 12: Energy Efficiency Action: The City shall encourage energy efficiency audits and upgrades at the time of sale for existing homes and buildings, host up to three energy efficiency workshops per year, and distribute information to property owners, tenants, and residences. The City shall encourage those doing major remodels, both residential and nonresidential, to comply with the voluntary CALGreen tiers that reach beyond the current State code requirements. During the permitting processes, the City shall provide project proponents with information on the benefits of designing their buildings to the Tier 1 and Tier 2 standards. Reduction Measure 13: Peninsula Clean Energy ECO100 Action: The City shall support Peninsula Clean Energy's (PCE's) goal of sourcing 100% of its electricity from GHG- free sources by 2021 by keeping all municipal accounts in ECO100 and encouraging community members to do the same. The City shall provide information on the benefits of ECO100 to its citizens through community outreach (e.g., flyers at City events, electronic newsletters, etc.). Reduction Measure 14: Residential Solar Power Action: The City shall continue promoting PACE programs through community outreach (e.g., signage, flyers at City events, social media, etc.) and providing information about PACE programs on a City webpage. 2020). Additionally, Section 4.4.3 of the North Rollins Specific Plan includes guidelines for sustainable lighting such as using high -efficacy solid-state light emitting diode (LED) lighting for outdoor applications and using appropriate color spectral distribution to reduce glare. Consistent: Future development facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan would be required to comply with the energy and sustainability standards of Title 24 (including the California Energy Code and CALGreen) and the City's associated amendments that are in effect at that time. The city's Reach Code requires all -electric new construction, and inclusion of solar systems in the form of a solar zone with a total area no less than 15 percent of the total roof area of the building (City of Burlingame 2020). Additionally, Section 4.4.3 of the North Rollins Specific Plan includes guidelines for sustainable lighting such as using high -efficacy solid-state LED lighting for outdoor applications and using appropriate color spectral distribution to reduce glare. Consistent: Electricity for future development would be supplied by PCE. Future residents would be placed in PCE's default plan, ECOplus, which sources 100 percent GHG free electricity. Future residents would also have the option to upgrade to PCE's ECO100 plan, which sources 100 percent renewable energy. Consistent: The city's Reach Code requires inclusion of solar systems in the form of a solar zone with a total area no less than 15 percent of the total roof area of the building (City of Burlingame 2020). Additionally, pursuant to Section 5.7h of the North Rollins Specific Plan, for any new multi -unit residential projects with less than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area, a minimum of 3kW PV system should be installed, and for multi -unit residential projects with 10,000 square feet or more gross floor area, a minimum of 5kW PV system should be installed (City of Burlingame 2019).

In addition, Consistent: Future development facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan would be required to comply with the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) and BMC Chapter 18.17, which outlines requirements for water conservation in landscape. 42 Greenhouse Gas Emissions encourage the use of grey water systems for outdoor water use. Reduction Measure 18: Zero Waste Action: The City (i.e., Sustainability Coordinator) shall coordinate with Recology and other applicable waste utility providers to reduce the amount of organic and recyclable materials going to the landfill and increase the waste diversions rate. The City shall perform community outreach (e.g., flyers, electronic newsletters, etc.) informing community members and businesses of the environmental benefits of reducing waste and disposing of items properly. In addition, the City shall also develop a Community Zero Waste Plan to guide the community in diverting its waste from landfill disposal, manage resources to their highest and best use, and identify ways to reduce waste at the source. The Community Zero Waste Plan shall set forth specific strategies, implementation goals, and quantifiable metrics to track progress of the Plan. Source: City of Los Altos 2022a Additionally, future construction would be required to include fixtures that comply with the efficiency standards listed in the Indoor Water Use Efficiency Table pursuant to Section 18.19.050 of the BMC. Consistent: New projects with a valuation of $50,000 or more would be required to submit and obtain approval of a Waste Reduction Plan prior to issuance of a building permit. Additionally, future development facilitated by the North Rollins Specific Plan would be required to recycle and compost organic wastes pursuant to SB 1383. Future multi -family building owners would be required to enroll in Recology's composting program, where green composting bins and outreach materials for tenants would be provided (City of Burlingame 2022b). Project Consistency with 2022 Scoping Plan The principal State plans and policies for reducing GHG emissions are AB 32, SB 32, and AB 1279. The quantitative goal of AB 32 is to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020; the goal of SB 32 is to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030; and the goal of AB 1279 is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions no later than 2045, and reduce GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels no later than 2045. The 2022 Scoping Plan expands upon earlier plans to include the AB 1279 targets. The 2022 Scoping Plan's strategies that are applicable to the proposed project include reducing fossil fuel use and vehicle miles traveled; decarbonizing the electricity sector, maximizing recycling and diversion from landfills; and increasing water conservation. The project would be consistent with these goals since future development would be required to comply with the latest Title 24 Green Building Code and Building Efficiency Energy Standards, as well as the AB 341 waste diversion goal of 75 percent and recycle organic wastes pursuant to SB 1383. Future development facilitated by the project would also be located in proximity to the Millbrae Transit Center which would reduce reliance on single -occupancy vehicles and VMT. The city's Reach Code also requires all -electric new construction, and inclusion of solar systems in the form of a solar zone with a total area no less than 15 percent of the total roof area of the building (City of Burlingame 2020). Additionally, future development would receive electricity from PCE, which sources 100 percent GHG free electricity under its ECOplus base plan. Therefore, the project would not conflict with the 2022 Scoping Plan and this impact would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Potential Emissions Generated by the Proposed HEU For informational purposes, GHG emissions associated with development under the proposed project are shown in Table 10. Since the city's Reach Code requires all -electric construction for Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Study 43 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan future residential and commercial uses, it was assumed that the natural gas demand estimated for the project excluding industrial uses would instead be supplied by electricity to account for increased electricity usage. As shown in the table, the proposed project would generate 13,977 MTCO2e per year, which would increase the number of emissions compared to existing conditions under the 2040 General Plan by 353 MTCO2e per year.

Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) prepared this study under contract to the City. The purpose of this study is to analyze the project's noise and vibration impacts related to both temporary construction activity and long-term operation of the project. Table 1 provides a summary of project impacts.

Regional access to the site is available via the adjacent US Highway 101 (US 101) to the northeast and via State Route 82 (SR 82) to the southwest. Interstate 280 (1-280) is located approximately 1.3 miles southwest of the project area, and the Millbrae Transit Center is located approximately one -quarter mile to the northwest (City of Burlingame Noise Technical Study City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 2022).

The Specific Plan is consistent with the Live/Work designation and envisions converting the existing low-rise industrial area into a dynamic mixed -use, residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhood. The 2040 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) analyzed the maximum allowable development for the North Rollins Specific Plan (City of Burlingame 2018. Table 2 shows the new remaining intensity under the North Rollins Specific Plan, which includes 1,557 multi -family dwelling units, 591,217 square feet of industrial uses, 50,083 square feet of office uses, and 139,266 square feet of commercial uses.

Noise is defined as sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected, or undesired and may therefore be classified as a more specific group of sounds. The effects of noise on people can include general annoyance, interference with speech communication, sleep disturbance, and, in the extreme, hearing impairment (California Department of Transportation [Caltrans] 2013). Human Perception of Sound Noise levels are commonly measured in decibels (dB) using the A -weighted sound pressure level (dBA). The A -weighting scale is an adjustment to the actual sound pressure levels so that they are consistent with the human hearing response. Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale that quantifies sound intensity in a manner similar to the Richter scale used to measure earthquake magnitudes. A doubling of the energy of a noise source, such as doubling of traffic volume, would increase the noise level by 3 dB; dividing the energy in half would result in a 3 dB decrease (Caltrans 2013). Human perception of noise has no simple correlation with sound energy: the perception of sound is not linear in terms of dBA or in terms of sound energy. Two sources do not "sound twice as loud" as one source. It is widely accepted that the average healthy ear can barely perceive changes of 3 dBA, increase or decrease (i.e., twice the sound energy); that a change of 5 dBA is readily perceptible (8 times the sound energy); and that an increase (or decrease) of 10 dBA sounds twice (half) as loud (10.5 times the sound energy) (Caltrans 2013). Sound Propagation and Shielding Sound changes in both level and frequency spectrum as it travels from the source to the receiver. The most obvious change is the decrease in the noise level as the distance from the source increases. The manner by which noise reduces with distance depends on factors such as the type of sources (e.g., point or line), the path the sound will travel, site conditions, and obstructions. Sound levels are described as either a "sound power level" or a "sound pressure level," which are two distinct characteristics of sound. Both share the same unit of measurement, the dB. However, sound power (expressed as Lpw) is the energy converted into sound by the source. As sound energy travels through the air, it creates a sound wave that exerts pressure on receivers, such as an eardrum or microphone, which is the sound pressure level. Sound measurement instruments only measure sound pressure, and noise level limits are typically expressed as sound pressure levels. Noise levels from a point source (e.g., construction, industrial machinery, air conditioning units) typically attenuate, or drop off, at a rate of 6 dBA per doubling of distance. Noise from a line source (e.g., roadway, pipeline, railroad) typically attenuates at about 3 dBA per doubling of distance (Caltrans 2013). Noise levels may also be reduced by intervening structures; the amount of attenuation provided by this "shielding" depends on the size of the object and the frequencies of the noise levels. Natural terrain features, such as hills and dense woods, and man-made features, Background such as buildings and walls, can significantly alter noise levels. Generally, any large structure blocking the line of sight will provide at least a SABA reduction in source noise levels at the receiver (Federal Highway Administration [FHWA] 2011). Structures can substantially reduce exposure to noise as well. The FHWA's guidance indicates that modern building construction generally provides an exterior -to -interior noise level reduction of 10 dBA with open windows and an exterior -to - interior noise level reduction of 20 to 35 dBA with closed windows (FHWA 2011). Descriptors The impact of noise is not a function of loudness alone. The time of day when noise occurs and the duration of the noise are also important factors of project noise impact. Most noise that lasts for more than a few seconds is variable in its intensity. Consequently, a variety of noise descriptors have been developed. The noise descriptors used for this study are the equivalent noise level (Leq), Day -Night Average Level (DNL; may also be symbolized as Ldn), and the community noise equivalent level (CNEL; may also be symbolized as Lden). Leq is one of the most frequently used noise metrics; it considers both duration and sound power level. The Leq is defined as the single steady-state A -weighted sound level equal to the average sound energy over a time period. When no time period is specified, a 1-hour period is assumed. The Lmax is the highest noise level within the sampling period, and the Lmin is the lowest noise level within the measuring period. Normal conversational levels are in the 60 to 65-dBA Leq range; ambient noise levels greater than 65 dBA Leq can interrupt conversations (Federal Transit Administration [FTA] 2018). Noise that occurs at night tends to be more disturbing than that occurring during the day. Community noise is usually measured using Day -Night Average Level (Ldn), which is the 24-hour average noise level with a +10 dBA penalty for noise occurring during nighttime hours (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.). Community noise can also be measured using Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL or LDEN), which is the 24-hour average noise level with a +5 dBA penalty for noise occurring from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and a +10 dBA penalty for noise occurring from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. (Caltrans 2013).1 The relationship between the peak -hour Leq value and the Ldn/CNEL depends on the distribution of noise during the day, evening, and night; however noise levels described by Lan and CNEL usually differ by 1 dBA or less. Quiet suburban areas typically have CNEL noise levels in the range of 40 to 50 CNEL, while areas near arterial streets are in the 50 to 60+ CNEL range (FTA 2018). 2.2 Vibration Groundborne vibration of concern in environmental analysis consists of the oscillatory waves that move from a source through the ground to adjacent buildings or structures and vibration energy may propagate through the buildings or structures. Vibration may be felt, may manifest as an audible low -frequency rumbling noise (referred to as groundborne noise), and may cause windows, items on shelves, and pictures on walls to rattle. Although groundborne vibration is sometimes noticeable in outdoor environments, it is almost never annoying to people who are outdoors. The primary concern from vibration is that it can be intrusive and annoying to building occupants at vibration -sensitive land uses and may cause structural damage. 1 Because DNL and CNEL are typically used to assess human exposure to noise, the use of A -weighted sound pressure level (dBA) is implicit. Therefore, when expressing noise levels in terms of DNL or CNEL, the dBA unit is not included. Noise Technical Study City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Typically, ground -borne vibration generated by manmade activities attenuates rapidly as distance from the source of the vibration increases. Vibration amplitudes are usually expressed in peak particle velocity (PPV) or root mean squared (RMS) vibration velocity. The PPV and RMS velocity are normally described in inches per second (in/sec). PPV is defined as the maximum instantaneous positive or negative peak of a vibration signal. PPV is often used as it corresponds to the stresses that are experienced by buildings (Caltrans 2020). Vibration velocity level can also be defined in vibration decibels (VdB). High levels of groundborne vibration may cause damage to nearby building or structures; at lower levels, groundborne vibration may cause minor cosmetic (i.e., non-structural damage) such as cracks. These vibration levels are nearly exclusively associated with high impact activities such as blasting, pile -driving, vibratory compaction, demolition, drilling, or excavation. Caltrans vibration building damage potential criteria are identified in Table 3. Table 3 Caltrans Vibration Buidling Damage Criteria Extremely fragile buildings, ruins, monuments 0.12 0.08 Fragile buildings 0.2 0.1 Historic and some older buildings 0.50 0.25 Older residential structures 0.50 0.30 New residential structures 1.00 0.50 Moden industrial and commercial structures 2.00 0.50 Source: Caltrans 2020 Numerous studies have been conducted to characterize the human response to vibration. The vibration annoyance potential criteria recommended for use by Caltrans, which are based on the general human response to different levels of groundborne vibration velocity levels, are described in Table 4.

Source: Caltrans 2020 2.3 Sensitive Receivers Noise exposure goals for various types of land uses reflect the varying noise sensitivities associated with those uses. Noise sensitive land uses (also referred to as "sensitive receivers") include 0 Background residential, including single and multifamily dwellings, mobile home parks, and dormitories; transient lodging, including hotels, and motels; hospitals, nursing homes, convalescent hospitals, and other facilities for long-term medical care; and public or private educational facilities, libraries, churches, and places of public assembly. Vibration -sensitive receivers, which are similar to noise -sensitive receivers, include residences and institutional uses, such as schools, churches, and hospitals. Vibration -sensitive receivers also include buildings where vibrations may interfere with vibration -sensitive equipment that is affected by vibration levels that may be well below those associated with human annoyance (e.g., recording studies or medical facilities with sensitive equipment). The Specific Plan's existing uses contain commercial and industrial businesses. Noise -sensitive land uses such as multi -family residences are located approximately 800 feet northwest of the Specific Plan boundary and single-family residences are located 275 feet south of the Specific Plan boundary. 2.4 Project Noise Setting The predominant source of noise in the Specific Plan area is motor vehicles. Motor vehicle noise is characterized by a high number of individual events that can create a sustained noise level in proximity to noise -sensitive uses. Roadways with the highest traffic volumes and speeds produce the highest noise levels. Rail noise (BART and Caltrain), airport noise associated with San Francisco International Airport (SFO) operations, and helicopter operations at Mills -Peninsula Medical Center are additional noise sources in the Specific Plan area. The roadways in the Specific Plan area with the highest traffic volumes and, thus, the highest noise levels would be US 101 and Rollins Road. The southwestern runways (1R-19L and 1L-19R) of SFO are located approximately 0.33 miles northeast of the closest boundary of the Specific Plan. According to the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport (City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County [C/CAG] 2012), the 65 CNEL noise contour for the airport extends into the northeastern portion of the Specific Plan (approximately covering Adrian Court and the adjacent properties). To characterize ambient sound levels at and near the project site, three long-term and two 15-short- term sound level measurements were conducted on December 6 and 7, 2022. Short -Term Noise Measurement 1 (ST-1) was taken on the western edge of the rail line, outside of the Specific Plan boundary, to capture a train pass -by. This measurement was taken outside of the plan boundary due to limited access at the western edges of the plan area. ST-2 was taken adjacent to Rollins Road. Table 5 summarizes the results of the short-term noise measurements. Noise measurement locations are shown in Figure 3.

LT-3 was taken adjacent to Broderick Road to capture the long-term noise exposure in the Specific Plan area from the rail line. Table 6 summarizes the results of the long-term noise measurements. Noise measurement locations are shown in Figure 3.

IC M City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 2.5 Regulatory Setting FTA Transit and Noise Vibration Impact Assessment Manual The FTA provides reasonable criteria for assessing construction noise impacts based on the potential for adverse community reaction in their Transit and Noise Vibration Impact Assessment Manual (FTA 2018). For residential, commercial, and industrial uses, the daytime noise threshold is 80 dBA Leq, 85 dBA Leq, and 90 dBA Leq for an 8-hour period, respectively. Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan C/CAG acts as the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) and implements state -mandated airport planning processes, including the preparation of the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport (C/CAG 2012). This plan is intended to protect the long-term viability of the airport by ensuring only compatible land uses are built in the vicinity of the airport, ensuring adoption of land use regulations which minimize exposure of people to hazards associated with airport operations, and providing a set of policies and criteria to assist the ALUC in evaluating the compatibility of proposed actions of local agencies with present and future operations at the Airport. Section 4 of the Plan identifies airport/land use compatibility policies for the airport, including noise compatibility policies that set 65, 70, and 75 CNEL noise compatibility zones and compatibility criteria for these different zones. City of Burlingame 2040 General Plan The Burlingame 2040 General Plan Community Safety Element includes goals and policies to guide development and to protect citizens from the harmful and irritating effects of excessive noise. The Noise Element establishes noise/land use compatibility categories for new uses, which are summarized in Table 7. For residential uses, the City considers noise levels up to 70 CNEL to be conditionally acceptable.

Conventional construction, with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning will normally suffice. 3. NORMALLY UNACCEPTABLE: New construction or development should generally be discouraged. If new construction or development does proceed, a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features included in the design. 4. CLEARLY UNACCEPTABLE: New construction or development should generally not be undertaken. Source: City of Burlingame 2040 General Plan, Figure CS-2 The City 2040 General Plan Community Safety Element includes Goal CS-4, the purpose of which is to protect residents and visitors to Burlingame from excessive noise and disruptive ground vibration.

If applicable, require all feasible mitigation measures to be implemented to ensure that no damage or disturbance to structures or sensitive receptors would occur. 14 Background Burlingame Municipal Code Burlingame Municipal Code (BMC) Section 18.07.110 states that allowable hours of construction in the City are between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Construction is not permitted on Sundays and holidays. An exception may be granted under circumstances of urgent necessity in the interest of public health and safety. An exception must be approved in writing by the building official and shall be granted for a period of no more than three days for projects including structures with a gross floor area of less than 40,000 square feet; and, when reasonable to accomplish the erection, demolition, alteration, or repair, the exception shall not exceed 20 days for projects including structures with a gross floor area of 40,000 square feet or greater. BMC Section 10.40.020 prohibits the use of mechanical devices, machines, apparatuses, or instruments for the intensification or amplification of the human voice or any sound or noise in such a manner that the peace and good order of the neighborhood are disturbed or that persons owning, using or occupying the property in the neighborhood are disturbed or annoyed. BMC Section 10.40.035 prohibits the creation of any loud, unnecessary, or unusual noise that disturbs the peace and quiet of any neighborhood or which causes discomfort or annoyance to any reasonable person of normal sensitiveness residing in the area. BMC Section 10.40.037 prohibits the operation of any lawnmower, lawn edge, riding tractor, or any other mechanical or electrical machinery that creates a loud, raucous, or impulsive sound within any residential district except between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Monday through Saturday and between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sunday and holidays. In addition, BMC Section 10.40.038 contains noise restrictions on leaf blowers, including allowable hours of use, allowable areas of use, and noise level specifications. Noise Technical Study 15 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan 3 Methodology 3.1 Construction Noise This section estimates construction noise from Specific Plan development based on reference noise levels for various pieces of construction equipment reported by the FTA's Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment. Construction equipment may operate as close as 10 feet from nearby noise - sensitive receivers; however, over the course of a normal construction day, the equipment would typically move back and forth across a construction site and average a further distance from noise - sensitive receptors. For analysis purposes, a distance of 25 feet was used to demonstrate typical construction noise levels. Construction noise estimates do not account for the presence of intervening structures or topography, which could reduce noise levels at receiver locations. 3.2 Stationary On -Site Operational Noise Stationary noise (i.e., on -site operational noise) were analyzed in context of typical mechanical equipment such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units. 3.3 Mobile Off -site Operational (Traffic) Noise Traffic modeling results from the 2040 General Plan EIR for roadways within the Specific Plan area were used to analyze the project's traffic noise levels, with consideration of the change in land uses from the Specific Plan. 3.4 Groundborne Vibration Development facilitated by the Specific Plan would not include substantial vibration sources associated with operation. Construction activities have the greatest potential to generate groundborne vibration affecting nearby sensitive receivers. Construction vibration estimates are based off Caltrans and FTA reference data. 3.5 Aviation Noise The airport noise contours for SFO with respect to the Specific Plan area were utilized to determine potential impacts from exposure to aviation -related noise. 3.6 Noise Land Use Compatibility To determine the land use combability with noise standards from the City 2040 General Plan, the future (2040) transportation noise contours in Figure 15-3 from the 2040 General Plan EIR were used. These contours include noise from US 101, Rollins Road, and rail noise. Methodology 3.7 Significance Thresholds To determine whether a project would have a significant noise impact, Appendix G of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires consideration of whether a project would result in: 1. Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies 2. Generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels 3. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels 4. Would the project be subjected to noise levels in excess of the City's land use compatibility guidelines for noise? Construction Noise FTA criteria for construction noise levels are used in this analysis. A plan or project would result in the generation of a substantial temporary increase in ambient noise levels if construction noise would exceed the FTA daytime criteria of 80 dBA Leq, 85 dBA Leq, and 90 dBA Leq for an 8-hour period for residential, commercial, and industrial land uses, respectively. On -site Operational Noise Operational noise impacts are evaluated against BMC noise limits and 2040 General Plan policies. Off -site Traffic Noise Off -site project noise (i.e., roadway noise) would result in a significant impact if the project would cause the ambient noise level measured at the property line of affected uses to increase by 3 dBA, which would be a perceptible increase in traffic noise. Construction Vibration The City has not adopted a significance threshold to assess vibration impacts. Therefore, the Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual (2020) is used to evaluate potential construction vibration impacts related to both potential building damage and human annoyance. Based on the Caltrans criteria described above, construction vibration impacts would be significant if vibration levels exceed 0.5 in./sec. PPV for residential structures and 2.0 in./sec. PPV for commercial structures, which are the limits where minor cosmetic, i.e., non-structural, damage may occur to these buildings. In addition, construction vibration impacts would cause human annoyance at nearby receivers if vibration levels exceed 0.25 in./sec. PPV, which is the limit where vibration becomes distinctly perceptible from barely perceptible. Exposure to Aircraft Noise: For a plan or project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, if Noise Technical Study 17 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan the plan or project exposes people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels such as noise levels exceeding normally acceptable noise levels in the 2040 General Plan. Land Use Compatibility The 2040 General Plan provides exterior noise limits for noise compatibility in Table 7. In addition, the interior noise limit for residential units is 45 dBA Ldn. These limits are used to determine impacts for future development facilitated by the 2040 General Plan. 3.8 Findings of the Burlingame 2040 General Plan EIR The 2040 General Plan EIR found that the 2040 General Plan would result in a potentially significant impact from construction noise, which would be mitigated through Mitigation measure 15-1 to less than significant through an expanded General Plan Policy CS-4.10 to implement Construction Noise Studies. The 2040 General Plan EIR determined that construction vibration impacts would be less than significant. The 2040 General Plan EIR determined that increases in traffic noise levels would result in a potentially significant impact since roadway noise levels would increase by more than 3 dBA on certain roadways (which were outside of the Specific Plan area), and that no feasible mitigation existed to reduce these noise levels. In addition, it found that noise levels to future sensitive receivers could be significant and unavoidable. The 2040 General Plan EIR also determined that airport noise would result in a less than significant impact. The 2040 General Plan EIR found that impacts from operational noise, such as mechanical equipment and leaf blower noise, would result in less than significant impacts through implementation of General Plan policies. W Impact Analysis 4 Impact Analysis 4.1 Issue 1 Issue: Would the project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Construction Noise from individual construction projects facilitated by the project would temporarily increase noise levels at nearby sensitive receivers. Since at this stage of planning project -level, details are not available for future projects that would be carried out under the project, it is not possible to determine exact noise levels, locations, or time periods for construction of such projects, or construction noise at adjacent properties. However, noise estimates for typical construction activities have been provided below. Construction activities would generate noise from phases such as demolition, site preparation, grading, building construction, and paving activities. Each phase of construction has a specific equipment mix and associated noise characteristics, depending on the equipment used during that phase. Construction noise would typically be higher during the more equipment -intensive phases of initial construction (i.e., demolition, site preparation, and grading work) and would be lower during the later construction phases (i.e., building construction and paving). Table 8 illustrates typical noise levels associated with construction equipment at a distance of 25 feet. Noise Technical Study 19 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Table 8 Typical Noise Levels for Construction Equipment Air Compressor 86 80 74 Backhoe 86 80 74 Concrete Mixer 91 85 79 Dozer 91 85 79 Grader 91 85 79 Jack Hammer 94 88 82 Loader 86 80 74 Paver 91 85 79 Pile -drive (Impact) 107 101 95 Pile-driver (Sonic) 101 95 89 Roller 91 85 79 Saw 82 76 70 Scarified 89 83 77 Scraper 91 85 79 Truck 90 84 78 Source: FTA 2018 Neither the BMC nor the City 2040 General Plan contain quantitative limits for construction noise. In lieu of City -specific standards, the FTA criteria for assessing construction noise impacts are used. For residential, commercial, and industrial uses, the FTA daytime noise threshold is 80 dBA Leq, 85 dBA Leq, and 90 dBA Leq for an 8-hour period, respectively. Noise would typically drop off at a rate of about 6 dBA per doubling of distance. Therefore, noise levels are about 6 dBA lower than shown in Table 8 at 50 feet from the noise source and 12 dBA lower at a distance of 100 feet from the noise source. As shown in these noise levels, construction noise may exceed the FTA's daytime noise limits, depending on the equipment used and the distance in which the equipment is operating compared to noise -sensitive receptors. Therefore, impacts would be potentially significant. Operation STATIONARY (ON -SITE OPERATIONAL) NOISE Stationary and other sources of noise in Burlingame include those associated with the standard operation of land uses. These sources could include, but are not limited to, landscape and building maintenance activities, stationary mechanical equipment (e.g., pumps, generators, HVAC units), garbage collection activities, commercial and industrial activities, and other stationary and area sources such as people's voices, amplified music, and public address systems. Noise generated by residential or commercial uses are generally short-term and intermittent in nature. Industrial uses may generate noise on a more continual basis due to the nature of their activities. The proposed Specific Plan adjustments would provide for increase in residential development with the Specific Plan area through the removal of potential office uses. Residential 20 Impact Analysis development tends to have lower noise levels associated than other proposed uses, such as industrial or commercial uses. ■ CS-4.2: Residential Noise Standards. Require the design of new residential development to comply with the following noise standards: The maximum acceptable interior noise level for all new residential units (single-family, duplex, mobile home, multi -family, and mixed -use units) shall be an Ldn of 45 dBA with windows closed. For project locations that are primarily exposed to noise from aircraft, Caltrain, BART, US 101, and Interstate 280 operations, the maximum instantaneous noise level in bedrooms shall not exceed 50 dBA at night (10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.), and the maximum instantaneous noise level in all interior rooms shall not exceed 55 dBA during the day (7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.) with windows closed. In addition, the BMC limits noise from certain common stationary and other sources such as speakers (Section 10.40.020), lawnmowers (Section 10.40.037), leaf blowers (Section 10.40.038), loading and unloading activities (Section 10.40.039), and mechanical equipment including HVAC and generators (Section 25.58.050). 2040 General Plan Policy CS-4.2 would protect residents from excessive noise by requiring the City to review the location of new noise -sensitive land uses, locate such land uses away from major noise sources, and ensure new land uses meet the City's noise standards through evaluation and design considerations. In addition, stationary and other sources of noise would be controlled by the City's Municipal Code, which provide requirements for certain non -transportation noise sources. Therefore, future stationary noise sources would comply with City standards and would not expose people to excessive noise levels. This would be a less -than -significant impact, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding on -site or off -site construction noise than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. MOBILE OFF -SITE OPERATIONAL) NOISE The implementation of the Specific Plan would have the potential to change the existing amounts and types of land uses within the City. These potential land use changes would increase residents and employees within the City. This increase in population and employment would lead to increased vehicle traffic on the local roadway system, which would result in an increase in traffic -related noise levels. The 2040 General Plan EIR analyzed traffic noise increases from implementation of the 2040 General Plan, with the only roadway analyzed through the Specific Plan area being Rollins Road, as shown in Table 9. Table 9 2040 General Plan Traffic Noise Level Increases for Roadways in Specific Plan Area Rollins Broadway to Road North City Limit Source: City of Burlingame 2018 7,456 64.0 8,203 65.2 746 1.2 Noise Technical Study 21 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan As shown in Table 9, the 2040 General Plan would increase traffic on Rollins Road by 1.2 CNEL from the addition of 746 ADT, which would be below a barely perceptible increase of 3 dBA. For a 3 dBA increase to occur, traffic would need to be increased by 100 percent, or 7,456 additional ADT. According to the air quality modeling outputs conducted by the project's Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Technical Report (Rincon 2023), the change in uses for the Specific Plan area between what was approved under the 2040 General Plan and what is proposed (removal of some office uses and addition of multi -family), the project would result in an increase of 384 trips. This minor increase would increase noise levels by an additional several tenths on Rollins Road but would not increase noise traffic noise levels to where they exceed a 3 dBA increase. Therefore, traffic noise level increases from the project would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding off -site traffic noise than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. Mitigation Measures Implementation of 2040 General Plan Policy CS-4.10, as expanded upon in Mitigation Measure 15-1 in the 2040 General Plan EIR, would reduce construction noise and associated impacts: Mitigation Measure N0I-1 Construction Noise Study All development projects shall be subject to the applicable construction hour limitations established by the City's Municipal Code. Development projects that are subject to discretionary review and that are located near noise -sensitive land uses shall assess potential construction noise levels and minimize substantial adverse impacts by implementing feasible construction noise control measures that reduce construction noise levels at sensitive receptor locations. Such measures may include, but are not limited to: ■ Construction management techniques (e.g., siting staging areas away from noise -sensitive land uses, phasing activities to take advantage of shielding/attenuation provided by topographic features or buildings, monitoring construction noise); ■ Construction equipment controls (e.g., ensuring equipment has mufflers, use of electric hook- ups instead of generators); ■ Use of temporary sound barriers (equipment enclosures, berms, walls, blankets, or other devices) when necessary; and ■ Monitoring of actual construction noise levels to verify the need for noise controls. Significance After Mitigation Although specific construction activities and noise levels associated with future development projects are not known at this time, implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1 would require feasible construction noise control measures when development occurs near noise -sensitive land uses and would render potential construction noise impacts from future development projects a less than significant impact with mitigation. With mitigation, the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding construction noise than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. 22 Impact Analysis 4.2 Issue 2 Issue: Would the project result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or ground -borne noise levels? Construction activities have the potential to result in varying degrees of temporary ground vibration, depending on the specific construction equipment used and activities involved. Vibration generated by construction equipment spreads through the ground and diminishes with increases in distance. The effects of ground vibration may be imperceptible at the lowest levels, result in low rumbling sounds and detectable vibrations at moderate levels, and high levels of vibration can cause sleep disturbance in places where people normally sleep or annoyance in buildings that are primarily used for daytime functions and sleeping. Ground vibration can also potentially damage the foundations and exteriors of existing structures even if it does not result in a negative human response. Pile drivers and other pieces of high impact construction equipment are generally the primary cause of construction -related vibration impacts. The use of such equipment is generally limited to sites where there are extensive layers of very hard materials (e.g., compacted soils, bedrock) that must be loosened and/or penetrated to achieve grading and foundation design requirements. The need for such methods is usually determined through site -specific geotechnical investigations that identify the subsurface materials within the grading envelope, along with foundation design recommendations and the construction methods needed to safely permit development of a site. Construction equipment and activities are categorized by the nature of the vibration it produces. Equipment or activities typical of continuous vibration include excavation equipment, static compaction equipment, vibratory pile drivers, and pile -extraction equipment. Equipment or activities typical of transient (single -impact) or low -rate repeated impact vibration include impact pile drivers, and crack -and -seat equipment. Pile driving and blasting activities produce the highest levels of ground vibration and can result in structural damage to existing buildings. Since project specific information is not available at this time, potential short-term construction -related vibration impacts can only be evaluated based on the typical construction activities associated with the development. Future development as a result of the proposed Specific Plan would occur in primarily urban settings where land is already disturbed and, therefore, are not likely to require blasting, which is typically used to remove unwanted rock or earth; however, it is possible that pile driving could occur during building construction under the proposed Specific Plan. Standard construction equipment (e.g., bulldozers, trucks, jackhammers, etc.) generally do not cause vibration that could cause structural or cosmetic damage but may be felt by nearby receivers. Table 10 presents the typical types of equipment that could be used for Specific Plan development. Noise Technical Study 23 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan Table 10 Vibration Source Levels for Construction Equipment Small Bulldozer 0.003 0.001 0.0007 58 49 40 Jackhammer 0.035 0.016 0.008 79 70 61 Rock Breaker 0.059 0.028 0.013 83 74 65 Loaded Truck 0.076 0.036 0.017 86 77 68 Auger Drill Rig 0.089 0.042 0.019 87 78 69 Large Bulldozer 0.089 0.042 0.019 87 78 69 Vibratory Roller 0.210 0.098 0.046 94 85 76 Pile Driver (impact) Upper 1.519 0.709 0.331 112 103 94 range Typical 0.644 0.300 0.140 104 95 86 Pile Driver (sonic) Upper 0.734 0.342 0.160 105 96 87 range Typical 0.170 0.079 0.037 93 84 75 Source: FTA 2018 As shown in Table 10, specific vibration levels associated with typical construction equipment are highly dependent on the type of equipment used. Vibration levels dissipate rapidly with distance, such that even maximum impact pile driving activities would result in vibration levels below Caltrans' recommended 0.5 PPV threshold for transient vibration -induced damage in historic, older buildings at a distance 100 feet; all other activities would be below Caltrans' 0.25 PPV threshold for continuous vibration -induced damage in historic, older buildings at a distance of 100 feet. For human responses, maximum impact pile driving activities would result in groundborne vibration and noise levels below Caltrans' threshold for a distinctly perceptible response (0.24 PPV in/sec) and the FTA's vibration standard for infrequent events at residential lands (80 VdB) at a distance of approximately 150 feet and 300 feet, respectively; other activities may be barely to distinctly perceptible when occurring within approximately 150 feet of sensitive land uses. Most construction equipment does not operate in the same location for prolonged periods of time. Therefore, even if construction equipment were to operate near a building where receptors may feel vibration, it would only be for a temporary amount of time. Nonetheless, depending on the specific equipment in use and proximity of the equipment to vibration sensitive land uses, vibration levels may exceed accepted levels at which building damage may occur or which may be perceived by sensitive receptors as excessive. Although project -specific construction activities and noise levels associated with future development projects are not known at this time, proposed 2040 General Plan Policy CS-4.13 requires an assessment of potential impacts and the application of vibration control measures to avoid damage to structures and disturbance of sensitive receptors. The implementation of this policy would render potential construction vibration impacts from future development projects under the Specific Plan to a less than significant impact, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding construction vibration than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. ■ CS-4.13: Vibration Impact Assessment. Require a vibration impact assessment for proposed projects in which heavy-duty construction equipment would be used (e.g., pile driving, bulldozing) within 200 feet of an existing structure or sensitive receptor. If applicable, require all 24 Impact Analysis feasible mitigation measures to be implemented to ensure that no damage or disturbance to structures or sensitive receptors would occur. Residential, commercial, and industrial land uses facilitated by the Specific Plan would not involve substantial vibration sources associated with operation. Therefore, Specific Plan operational vibration impacts would be less than significant, and the project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding operational vibration than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. 4.3 Issue 3 Issue: For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? A significant impact would occur if a plan or project would expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels for a plan or project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport. The southwestern runway of SFO is located approximately 0.33 miles northeast of the closest boundary of the Specific Plan. According to the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport (C/CAG 2012), the 65 CNEL noise contour for the airport extends into the northeastern portion of the Specific Plan (approximately covering Adrian Court and the adjacent properties). Noise -sensitive receivers further west into the Specific Plan area may be exposed to elevated noise levels from the airport, however they would not be exposed to airport noise levels 65 CNEL or above. SFO does not provide noise contours for 60 CNEL to 65 CNEL, but it is assumed that the 60 CNEL contour would extend further into the city, covering more areas that contain noise -sensitive receivers. In addition, helicopter operations at Mills -Peninsula Medical Center generates noise that impacts existing residential and commercial land uses surrounding the hospital. The center is located approximately 0.1 miles south of the nearest Specific Plan boundary. As the City of Burlingame's normally acceptable noise levels are 55 to 60 CNEL for residential, hotels, motels, schools, libraries, churches, hospitals, and nursing homes, this would mean that noise -sensitive receivers in Burlingame would be exposed to conditionally acceptable noise levels from SFO and the heliport. In addition, the Airport Land Use Plan establishes noise abatement and mitigation procedures for housing units in 65 CNEL zones, which the northeastern portion of the Specific Plan is exposed to. However, implementation of the following policies in the 2040 General Plan would reduce the exposure of sensitive receivers to aircraft noise: ■ CS-4.7: Airport and Heliport Noise. Monitor noise impacts from aircraft operations at San Francisco International Airport and Mills -Peninsula Medical Center and implement applicable noise abatement policies and procedures as outlined in the Airport Noise Ordinance and Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. ■ CS-4.8: Airport Noise Evaluation and Mitigation. Require project applicants to evaluate potential airport noise impacts if the project is located within the 60 CNEL contour line of San Francisco International Airport (as mapped in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan). All projects shall be required to mitigate impacts to comply with the interior and exterior noise Noise Technical Study 25 City of Burlingame North Rollins Specific Plan standards established by the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Any action that would either permit or result in the development or construction of a land use considered to be conditionally compatible with aircraft noise of CNEL 65 or greater (as mapped in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan) shall include the grant of an avigation easement to the City and County of San Francisco prior to issuance of a building permit(s) for any proposed buildings or structures, consistent with Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Policy NP3 Grant of Avigation Easement. CS-4.9: Airport Disclosure Notices. Require that all new development comply with real estate disclosure requirements of State law. Section 11010 of the Business and Professions Code requires people offering subdivided property for sale or lease to disclose the presence of all existing and planned airports within two miles of the property (Cal. Bus. and Prof. Code Section 110010(b)(13). Implementation of 2040 General Plan CS-4.8 would ensure that development within the 60 CNEL airport noise contours would be designed to comply with the applicable interior and exterior noise standards. In addition, avigation easements would be obtained for projects within the 65 CNEL airport noise contour, and through CS-4.9 airport disclosure notices would be submitted. Therefore, with compliance with these 2040 General Plan policies, no substantial noise exposure from airport noise would occur to construction workers, users, or employees of the project, and impacts would be less than significant. The project would not result in new or substantially more significant impacts regarding airport and heliport noise than those identified in the 2040 General Plan EIR. 4.4 Issue 4 Issue: Would the project be subjected to noise levels in excess of the City's land use compatibility guidelines for noise? The implementation of the Specific Plan would have the potential to change the existing amounts and types of land uses within the City, such as placing more residential uses than previously planned than in the 2040 General Plan. These residential receivers would be exposed to transportation noise from roadways, rail, and aircraft, and may be exposed to noise levels that exceed the City's land use compatibility guidelines for noise. These standards are shown in Table 7. As part of the 2040 General Plan EIR, future (2040) noise contours from roadway and rail noise sources were modeled and presented in Figure 15-3 and included in Appendix B of this document. As shown in the figure, nearly the entire Specific Plan area is within at least the 70 CNEL noise contour, with the majority of the area east of Rollins Road within the 75 CNEL noise contour, and a small sliver within the 65 CNEL noise contour near the rail line. This noise is dominated by traffic on US 101. Rollins Road and the rail line are small contributors to these noise levels. It should be noted that these calculations do not account for topography or shielding from existing buildings, which would result in lower noise levels as the noise travels farther from US 101. The measured noise levels shown in Table 6 generally align with the contour predictions, with a noise level of 79 CNEL adjacent to the US 101, a noise level of 67 CNEL adjacent to Rollins Road; and a noise level of 71 CNEL off Broderick Road. Therefore, there would be the potential for noise levels at future residential development as part of the Specific Plan's changes from the 2040 General Plan to be exposed to noise levels that exceed the City's compatibility guidelines. The 2040 General Plan includes several policies to reduce noise levels at new proposed uses as shown in the following policies: 26 Impact Analysis CS-4.1: Locating Noise -sensitive Uses. Locate noise -sensitive uses such as homes, schools, hospitals, libraries, religious institutions, and convalescent homes away from major sources of noise. ■ CS-4.2: Residential Noise Standards. Require the design of new residential development to comply with the following noise standards: The maximum acceptable interior noise level for all new residential units (single-family, duplex, mobile home, multi -family, and mixed -use units) shall be an Ldn of 45 dBA with windows closed. For project locations that are primarily exposed to noise from aircraft, Caltrain, BART, US 101, and Interstate 280 operations, the maximum instantaneous noise level in bedrooms shall not exceed 50 dBA at night (10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.), and the maximum instantaneous noise level in all interior rooms shall not exceed 55 dBA during the day (7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.) with windows closed. ■ CS-4.3: Office Noise Level Standards. Require the design of new office developments and similar uses to achieve a maximum interior noise standard of 45 dBA Leq (peak hour). ■ CS-4.4: Motel, Hotel, Nursing Home and Hospital Noise Standards. Require the design of new motels, hotels, nursing homes, hospitals, and other similar uses to comply with the following noise standards: The maximum acceptable interior noise level for sleeping areas shall be an Ldn of 45 dBA with windows closed. ■ CS-4.5: Noise Mitigation and Urban Design. Consider the visual impact of noise mitigation measures; require solutions that do not conflict with urban design goals and policies included in the General Plan. ■ CS-4.6: Freeway Sound Walls. Coordinate with Caltrans to ensure new sound walls and landscaping strips are attractive along State Route 101 to protect adjacent areas from excessive freeway noise in conjunction with any new freeway project. ■ CS-4.11: Train Noise. Require that all new development within 1,000 feet of the rail line provide deed notices disclosing noise impacts upon transfer of title to residents and property owners. ■ CS-4.12: Quiet Zones for Trains. Coordinate with applicable railroad authorities to study options for reducing railroad noise impacts, including feasibility of Quiet Zone technology where appropriate. General Plan Policies CS-4.1 to 4.6 establish the overall goal and intent of the City to protect residents from excessive noise by requiring the City to review the location of new noise -sensitive land uses, locate such land uses away from major noise sources, and ensure new land uses meet the City's noise standards through evaluation and design considerations. In addition, General Plan Policies CS-4.11 and 4.12 would have the effect of reducing exposure to rail noise. The application of the policies and objectives outlined in the 2040 General Plan would reduce the amount of future vehicle trips generated from implementation of the General Plan; however, the potential level of reduction is uncertain at this time and would be contingent on the characteristic of each individual future development project. Since future noise levels would potentially expose noise -sensitive land uses to conditionally acceptable or higher noise levels, similar to the findings of the 2040 General Plan EIR, no additional feasible mitigation is available, and this impact would remain significant and unavoidable.

PROJECT OVERVIEW The proposed Project consists of modifying the allowed intensity within the General Plan by removing a portion of the allowed office and industrial intensity and converting it into multi -family units. The specific numbers are reducing the allowed intensity of office use from 174,083 square feet to 50,083 square feet, reducing the allowed intensity of industrial use from 696,331 square feet to 591,217 square feet, and increasing the allowed residential intensity from 1,199 multifamily units to 1,557 multifamily units. These changes result in a net increase of 358 multifamily units from the allowable multifamily residential units within the Specific Plan in conjunction with reductions of 105,114 square feet of industrial use and 124,000 square feet of office use. BACKGROUND Changes to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines were adopted in December 2018, which requires all lead agencies to adopt VMT as a replacement for automobile delay -based level of service (LOS) as the new measure for identifying transportation impacts for land use projects. This statewide mandate went into effect July 1, 2020. To aid in this transition, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) released a Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (December of 2018) (Technical Advisory) (1). The City of Burlingame adopted analytical procedures, screening tools, and impact thresholds for VMT, which are documented in the Contra Costa County Transportation Analysis Guidelines (June 2020) (County Guidelines) (2). The VMT 7 lull l l b John Moreland, Rincon Consultants, Inc October 21, 2022 Page 2 of 5 analysis presented in this report has been developed based on the adopted County Guidelines.

To aid in the project -level VMT screening process, the Contra Costa County utilizes the Contra Costa Association of Governments (C/CAG) VMT Screening Tool (Screening Tool). The web -based Screening Tool allows a user to select an assessor's parcel number (APN) to determine if a project's physical location meets one or more of the land use screening thresholds documented in the County Guidelines. The Screening criteria is broken into the following categories. • Project Type Screening • Proximity to Transit Based Screening • Low VMT Based Screening • Public Use Screening A land use project need only to meet one of the above screening criteria to result in a less than significant impact. PROJECT TYPE SCREENING County Guidelines state that projects generating fewer than 110 net new daily vehicle trips can be expected to have a less -than -significant VMT impact. CURRENTLY ALLOWED OFFICE USE The maximum development evaluated for the Specific Plan includes 1,199 multifamily residential units, 696,331 square feet of industrial use, 174,083 square feet of office use, and 139,266 square feet of commercial uses. PROPOSED PROJECT The Project proposes reduce the allowed intensity of office use from 174,083 square feet to 50,083 square feet, reduce the allowed intensity of industrial use from 696,331 square feet to 591,217 square feet, and increase the allowed residential intensity from 1,199 multifamily units to 1,557 multifamily units. These changes result in a net increase of 358 multifamily units from the allowable multifamily residential units within the Specific Plan in conjunction with reductions of 105,114 square feet of industrial use and 124,000 square feet of office use. TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON The net change in trips from reducing the industrial by 105,114 square feet and the office use by 124,000 square feet and increasing to add 358 multifamily residential units is shown on Table 1. The proposed Project will result in a net increase of 562 two-way trip ends per day with a reduction of 134 AM peak hour trips and a reduction of 73 PM peak hour trips.

As shown in Table 1, the Project is estimated to generate trips above the 110 net new dailyvehicle trip -threshold. Project Type Screening criteria is not met. PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT BASED SCREENING Consistent with guidance identified in the County Guidelines, projects located within a Transit Priority Area (TPA) (i.e., within'/2 mile of an existing "major transit stop"' or an existing stop along a "high -quality transit corridor"2) may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. Based on the Screening Tool, the Project site is shown to be located within a TPA (see Attachment A). Proximity to Transit based screening criteria is met. LOW VMT BASED SCREENING County Guidelines state that residential projects (home -based VMT) at 15% or below the baseline County -wide home -based average VMT per capita in areas with low VMT that incorporate similar VMT reducing features (i.e., density, mix of uses, transit accessibility) are presumed to have a less 1 Pub. Resources Code, § 21064.3 ("'Major transit stop' means a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods."). 2 Pub. Resources Code, § 21155 ("For purposes of this section, a high -quality transit corridor means a corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours."). URBAN I CROSSROADS 15061-02 VMT.docx John Moreland, Rincon Consultants, Inc October 21, 2022 Page 5 of 5 than significant VMT impact. Using the Screening Tool, the County base line value was found to be 13.52 VMT per resident/capita and the 15% below threshold of 11.49 VMT per resident/capita. The project was determined to have 3.4 VMT per resident/capita and, therefore is presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact (see Attachment A). The Low VMT screening criteria is met. PUBLIC USE SCREENING County Guidelines recognize public use facilities (e.g. emergency services, libraries, community centers and public utilities) as having a less than significant impact on VMT. The Project consists of a reduction in the allowed intensity of office use in exchange for an in increase in intensity of residential units within the specific plan and, therefore, is not applicable to this screening criteria. Public Use screening criteria is not met. CONCLUSION Based on our review of applicable VMT screening thresholds, the Project meets the Proximity to Transit and Low VMT Based Screening criteria and would therefore be presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact; no additional VMT analysis is required.

He explained that the subcommittee members expressed interest in understanding what would happen to the loan and project at the conclusion of the 55-year loan term. He noted that staff followed up with CRP, which indicated that the loan is due when it matures at the end of 55 years. He added that at that time, there could be a negotiation to extend the loan term and extend the project's affordability. CDD Gardiner stated that based on this direction, staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution that authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and execute a loan agreement with Allied Housing, Inc. to provide funding assistance towards the proposed project, with terms substantially consistent with the terms presented to the Council. Councilmember Colson stated that this project is a great example of using commercial linkage fees to leverage NOFA funding. Councilmember Colson stated that the loan will be paid with the residual proceeds of the cashflow. She asked how long the developer estimates it will take to pay back the loan and what happens if there is a balance at the end of the 55-year agreement. CRP representative Elias Wise stated that he would get back to Council with this information. Mayor Ortiz opened the item up for public comment. No one spoke. Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that he wanted to thank the developers, Councilmember Colson, and Councilmember O'Brien Keighran for their work on HCDC. He discussed the narrative that cities aren't doing enough to create housing and stated that Burlingame stands in stark contrast to this theory. He reviewed the affordable housing that is being built in Burlingame. Vice Mayor Brownrigg made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 144-2022; seconded by Councilmember Beach. The motion passed unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0. b. OVERVIEW OF THE NORTH ROLLINS SPECIFIC PLAN CDD Gardiner stated that in January 2019, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update of the Burlingame General Plan. He explained that the General Plan includes the following goal: Goal CC-12: Recreate Rollins Road as two distinct but complementary districts, with the southern two-thirds of the corridor supporting industrial and creative business enterprises and the northern one-third of the corridor reimagined as a live/work complete residential neighborhood — with parks, tree -lined streets, and a pedestrian orientation — that connects to the Millbrae multimodal transit station. CDD Gardiner stated that the City is creating a new specific plan that will implement this General Plan Policy for the northern portion of the Rollins Road corridor. He acknowledged the participation and 0 guidance from the Community Advisory Committee ("CAC") consisting of Councilmember O'Brien Keighran and Councilmember Colson on this project. CDD Gardiner stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the draft plan last month. Gates + Associates representative Casey Case began by reviewing the project's timeline. Ms. Case stated that in June 2020, the consultants began conducting community outreach to understand what the public wanted to see in the North Rollins District. She noted that based on feedback from concept plans, the consultants and staff were able to create a draft specific plan. This plan was then reviewed by committees and the Planning Commission. Ms. Case discussed the outreach that was undertaken and the feedback that the consultants received from different groups: Community Advisory Committee ("CAC") • Three meetings • Suggestions o Enhance underutilized area and maintain industrial feel o Provide flexibility and more trees o Walkability, access, wayfinding, and public art o Link to transit o Celebrate linear corridor o Open space to gather and connect o Wider sidewalks Technical Advisory Committee ("TAC") • Three meetings • Suggestions o Outdoor multi -use spaces o Connectivity o Connection to transit o Keep industrial feel o Walkability o Awareness of what's there o Wider sidewalks protected with trees Planning Commission • Three meetings • Suggestions o Promote a mix of uses o Connected o Placemaking o Incremental evolution o Strong spine along Rollins o Plants and lighting character 0 o Park -in -lieu Community Meeting • Two meetings • Suggestions o Maintain industrial feel o Showcase local businesses o Art emphasis o Sustainability o Flexible open spaces o Connected open spaces City Council • Two meetings • Suggestions o Neighborhood elements and transition to context o Pedestrian access across tracks o Street section development Ms. Case explained that they designated the North Rollins Road area into subareas. She explained that the intention behind this was not to control the use within those subareas but rather to talk about the unique elements that may occur within each subarea. She gave the example that Area 3 has frontage on Rollins Road, which would give it more of a commercial emphasis. Ms. Case stated that based on input from the CAC, TAC, Planning Commission, and community meetings, the team developed a draft plan that includes concepts for urban form, open spaces, streetscapes, and community amenities for the North Rollins Road neighborhood. She reviewed two notable features of the plan: Open Space Plan • Green focus on utility easement for recreation and connectivity • Paseo connections between Rollins Road and utility easement linear park • 1/8 mile radius for park cluster locations • Transition to south Rollins with gateway element Streetscapes • Streetscape design guidelines and standards for continuous sidewalks, bike lanes, and planter strips with street trees • Intended to be "complete streets" that accommodate multiple modes of travel • Function as linear open spaces Ms. Case reviewed how the draft specific plan is set up: • Specific Plan Organization • Objectives/Vision • Objective Design Standards 10 • Land Use Map • Key Element: Circulation • Key Element: Open Space and Landscape Design Guidelines • Key Element: Architecture Design Guidelines • Key Element: Uses, Community Benefits, and Implementation Ms. Case reviewed the objectives/vision included in the draft specific plan: • Implement new policies consistent with the updated General Plan, increasing housing density, transit supportive uses, and infill development • Maximize access to transit by promoting development near the Millbrae Transit Center • Develop and implement urban design standards that promote a walkable and livable environment • Create a "sense of place" through attractive streetscapes unique to the Plan Area and activate Rollins Road • Support emerging businesses by establishing flexible zoning regulations that allow creative art and design -oriented uses and green -tech commercial and industrial uses KTGY representative Cindy Ma began by reviewing what object design standards are: • Threshold requirements of mandatory obligations • Elements in the design guidelines that apply to residential developments and mixed -use developments as defined under SB 330 • Do not apply to commercial, industrial, or mixed -use developments that have less than a 66% residential component • Specifically crafted for the residential uses anticipated to occur within the plan area and provide quantitative standards for massing, materials, and fenestration • Revisions in latest draft address CAC and TAC comments on roof and plane breaks, ground floor retail height, etc. Ms. Ma reviewed the site and building design guidelines included in the draft specific plan: • Includes required and optional elements regarding the layout and design of projects within the plan area. (Per CAC and TAC comments, revised to have all "shalls" moved to objective standards section.) • Encourages high -quality development that creates a unique, consistent identity throughout the plan area. This section sets the desired theme for the district. • Recommends pedestrian -oriented design and supports ground -floor non-residential uses where appropriate, activating the public realm. • Most guidelines in this section apply only to non-residential uses and mixed -uses projects with over 34% non-residential uses. • This section does not include objective design standards as it relates to architecture. Ms. Ma noted that this section also includes sustainability guidelines that are recommendations. Rincon Consultants representative John Moreland reviewed the land use section of the draft specific plan: • Land uses the same throughout the entire plan area and are similar to existing zoning. • Uses include mixed -use, residential, commercial, and industrial. 11 • Includes three tiers of development incentives with updates to required community benefits. • Maximum base development intensity: Land Use Maximum Allowable Base Intensity Multi -Family Residential 70 base units per acre Commercial Uses 1.0 floor area ratio Industrial Uses 1.0 floor area ratio Mixed -Uses 1.0 floor area ratio Ms. Case discussed the circulation section of the draft specific plan. She explained that they wanted to place an emphasis on pedestrian and bicycle movement throughout the area. She noted that the plan encourages bulb -outs in order to slow traffic and create safer crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. She added that the section also discusses landscape design guidelines for open space and streetscape. She stated that the document encourages a mix of public gathering spaces. Mr. Moreland reviewed the development standards that are included in the draft specific plan: • Includes permitted land uses, land use regulations for specific uses, and development standards (such as setbacks and open space requirements). • Uses considered within the plan area include those that may engage the public realm, including food manufacturing, breweries, special events, mobile vendors, and street performers. Specific Plan includes additional regulations for these uses. • Development standards utilize a tiered development system that encourages projects to provide community benefits in exchange for the ability to develop at a higher residential density or floor area ratio. • Pageantry, which is changeable signage elements, such as kiosks, graphics, banners and lights are permitted. • Requirements for Art in Public Places program are also included. Mr. Moreland discussed the proposed community benefit requirements that are included in the specific plan. He noted that the specific plan increases the number of benefits required. He reviewed the three tiers: • Tier 1 — no benefits required • Tier 2 — three benefits minimum • Tier 3 — four benefits minimum Mr. Moreland stated that the additional community benefits included in the specific plan are: • Publicly accessible park paseo enhancements (15' min.) • Trail improvement • Community or neighborhood center • Ground floor retail space (50% of habitable 1 st floor sf and 6,000 sf minimum) • Grocery store (10,000 sf minimum) • Affordable housing • Additional public art 12 Mr. Moreland reviewed the implementation section of the draft specific plan: • Describes various aspects of how the specific plan is administered by the City. This chapter also provides various phasing and financing alternatives for improvements within the specific plan area. • Streetscape improvements may be initiated by the City or improved on a per -project basis by the developer. • Includes the maximum development analyzed per CEQA. • Includes a process for the new Art in Public Places program. CDD Gardiner stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the draft specific plan at its November 14, 2022 meeting. He noted the items identified by the Commissioners included: • Determining how a grocery store could be anticipated in the plan area, and suggesting a smaller minimum floor area than 10,000 as specified in the draft plan • Interest in a parks in -lieu fee to fund development of park space within the plan area • Assuring that open spaces provided in larger projects are proportional to the project size, and accessible to the public • Establishing a consistent streetscape lighting standard • Interest in less prescriptive planting standards, in particular allowing both native and non-native plantings • Establishing a framework for locating neighborhood services • Providing sufficient crosswalks across Rollins Road to support pedestrians • Planning for population growth, school enrollment, and routes to schools • Providing ample sidewalks as well as areas for trees and planting between the street curbs and building faces Mr. Moreland discussed the next steps for the draft specific plan. He explained that an environmental review is underway, based on consistency with the General Plan Environmental Impact Report ("EIR"). Once the EIR is completed, the draft specific plan will return to the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council. He noted that he expects it to come before the Council in spring 2023 for adoption. Councilmember Beach thanked everyone for their hard work on this project. She noted that she loved the vision for a sustainable neighborhood. She stated that she was pleased to see childcare facilities as a possible community benefit included in the specific plan. However, she explained that larger childcare facilities are not allowed in this area and asked staff to explain why. CDD Gardiner replied that the North Rollins Road area is near the San Francisco Airport. He explained that safety zones are created around airports and that certain activities are limited in safety zones. He noted that North Rollins Road is in a Safety Zone 3. Restrictions for a Safety Zone 3 are related to assemblies and sensitive users such as large childcare facilities and schools. Councilmember Beach stated that she would like to explore creating a hierarchy of community benefits. CDD Gardiner replied that he had seen other cities create models with weighted benefits. Mr. Moreland concurred with CDD Gardiner. Councilmember Beach stated that last year the Council discussed whether the bicycle plan for North Rollins Road was aligned with the City's Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan. She asked if the current version of the 13 bicycle plan did align with the master plan. CDD Gardiner replied in the affirmative. He noted that this was accomplished after conversations with members of the public, staff, and the City of Millbrae. He added that the new plan includes bicycle lanes on both sides of the road. Councilmember Beach asked if staff discussed the draft specific plan with the Burlingame School District ("BSD"). CDD Gardiner replied in the affirmative. He stated that staff periodically meets with BSD to review projects in the pipeline and concerns that the District has. He noted that one of the main concerns for the District did not relate to enrollment increasing but rather how to transport students from the new neighborhood to school. Councilmember Beach discussed State legislation that changed parking requirements near transit developments. She asked if the State legislation had been taken into consideration in the draft specific plan or if staff needed to further review parking requirements. CDD Gardiner replied that staff would be reviewing the new legislation to see what changes need to be made in the specific plan. Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that he appreciated the presentation and the hard work of everyone involved in this project. He asked when was the last time the City created a neighborhood. Councilmember Colson responded to Vice Mayor Brownrigg by stating that the newest neighborhood in Burlingame was Ray Park, created in 1952. Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that in 1952 when the City created Ray Park, there was a lot of open land. He noted that it is much easier to create a neighborhood on open land than in an area that is currently industrial. He explained that the City was proposing to use incentives to create the new neighborhood on North Rollins Road. However, he worried that by only using incentives, the City might not get the neighborhood that is designed in the draft specific plan. He added that Councilmember Beach's suggestion of a community benefits hierarchy might assist, but he didn't know how to rank the benefits. Vice Mayor Brownrigg wondered if the City would need to purchase land in order install neighborhood services and give the North Rollins Road area the neighborhood feel that the Council envisioned. Mr. Moreland stated that generally, most specific plans include a laundry list of minimums. He explained that the City's vision will be assisted by using both minimums and incentives. He noted that State legislation has limited what can be done with specific plans in terms of parking and density requirements. Mr. Moreland stated that open space is one item that the City would want to ensure is included in this new area. He added that what he heard from the community is that they would like to see a grocery store in this new neighborhood. He stated that this would be a little more difficult as you can't force a grocer to come there and operate. He noted that he believes the incentive -based approach and working with landowners will help to assist in getting a grocery store in this neighborhood. Vice Mayor Brownrigg asked if the consultants considered the idea of connectivity across the rail tracks. Mr. Moreland replied in the affirmative. He noted that the specific plan identifies a location where this could be done. However, he explained that it would be expensive. 14 Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that Mission Bay and Dog Patch have done a good job of turning an industrial area into vibrant communities. He asked if the City has the same key ingredients that San Francisco had when re -developing areas. Mr. Moreland replied in the affirmative. Mayor Ortiz opened the item up for public comment. Athan Rebelos voiced support for the plan and asked for a pedestrian/bicycle bridge to be installed. Jennifer Pfaff voiced concern about how the City goes from the specific plan to reality. She discussed the three recent projects that have been approved in the area and thought there wasn't enough emphasis on open space. Mayor Ortiz closed public comment. Mayor Ortiz voiced support for the specific plan. He added that he concurred with the concerns that the Vice Mayor voiced earlier. Vice Mayor Brownrigg stated that he thought the first chapter should include the rationale for why this specific plan is being created. He discussed the changing economic circumstances in the city where individuals used to be able to buy starter homes but no longer can. He stated that he wanted to see new opportunities created. Councilmember Beach stated that she thought the staff should explore utilizing a community benefits hierarchy. She discussed leveraging impact fees in different ways to assist with this new neighborhood. Councilmember Beach discussed the need to further look into childcare facilities. She noted that while this new neighborhood might not have a lot of families moving in, she could see a lot of individuals starting families moving into this area. Councilmember Colson thanked Councilmember O'Brien Keighran for her work on this project. She discussed Ms. Pfaff s comments. She asked that staff review the three projects that have been approved and how they are assisting with open spaces. Councilmember Colson stated that the subcommittee spent a lot of time on the roads, bike paths, and walkability of the new neighborhood. She thought this would help to create a real neighborhood. Councilmember Colson asked staff if they felt comfortable that they would be able to get the developers to select community benefits in ways that will be meaningful. Councilmember O'Brien Keighran thanked everyone involved in creating this plan. She stated that this isn't something that will happen overnight and will take careful planning. She added that the one thing she wanted to see in this area is the creation of neighborhood services. She explained that this would give this area a neighborhood feel. She noted that the warehouses could be turned into entertainment establishments. She discussed the success of other cities like Santa Barbara in turning their industrial areas into neighborhoods and destinations with breweries, wineries, and food trucks. 15 Councilmember O'Brien Keighran stated that the Economic Development Subcommittee would play an important role in developing this area. Councilmember O'Brien Keighran stated that the City needed to make sure that the open space was usable open space. She added that her colleagues would want to consider if the City can acquire a larger parcel and incorporate something similar to the proposed town square in downtown Burlingame. CDD Gardiner thanked Councilmember Colson and Councilmember O'Brien Keighran for their work on the specific plan. He also discussed the Citizens Advisory Committee who assisted in creating the plan. CDD Gardiner discussed the open space requirement for larger projects. He noted that it is addressed in two different locations in the draft specific plan. He stated that staff needed to clean up the differences in language in the two sections. He noted that once section states the standard for open space as being 12% of the site area. He explained that this was taken from the Summerhill projects. CDD Gardiner stated that the plan would come back before Council after staff further reviewed the feedback they received from the public, Planning Commission, and City Council. Mayor Ortiz thanked everyone for the discussion. 11. COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND ACTIVITIES REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Council reviewed their committee appointments. 12. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS There were none. 13.

Date of Publication: August 25, 2023 BURLINGASTAFF R • Avovwi To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Date: September 5, 2023 AGENDA NO: 12b MEETING DATE: September 5, 2023 From: Margaret Glomstad, Parks and Recreation Director — (650) 558-7307 Brad McCulley, City Librarian — (650) 558-7401 Kevin Gardiner, Community Development Director — (650) 558-7253 Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Updated Art in Public Places Policy RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution approving the updated Art in Public Places policy which establishes a process to advise the appropriate City commission/department and City Council when public art opportunities arise. BACKGROUND The City's existing Art in Public Places Policy, established in 2007 (Exhibit A), routes the selection/approval of public art to either the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Library Board, or the Beautification Commission. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviews art in park and recreation facilities; the Library Board reviews art in the libraries; and the Beautification Commission reviews art on other City properties. The City Council grants the final approval and acceptance of the art. When public art is proposed as part of a new project, the Planning Commission reviews public art related to development projects as part of the design review process. Development projects located in the North Rollins Road Specific Plan area will follow the more detailed process outlined in the Specific Plan, once approved. Staff determined that the Art in Public Places Policy needed to be updated to reflect changes in process and noticing and to help ensure the City had a process by which new Public Art could be vetted for installation. In addition, the policy needed to align with the public art language in the North Rollins Specific Plan. Under the North Rollins Specific Plan, two City Arts Liaisons will perform a preliminary advisory review for any proposed art required to be installed as part of development on the developed property or in a public area within the Specific Plan's boundaries (Exhibit B). The City Council would appoint Arts Liaisons with experience in the arts industry who live and/or work in Burlingame. The Planning Commission would review any proposed public art within the development project. If the developer chooses to pay in -lieu fees instead, the Parks and Recreation Commission would approve art in a City park, while Public Works staff would approve art in the public right-of-way. In all three cases, the City Council would have final approval of the public art. 1 Art in Public Places September 5, 2023 The chairs of the Beautification Commission, Library Board, and Parks and Recreation Commission appointed two members each to assist staff with updating the 2007 policy. Marcia Bauer and Richard Kirchner represented the Beautification Commission; Mark Lucchesi and Mike Nagler represented the Library Board; and Andrea Pappajohn and Leslie Holtzman represented the Parks and Recreation Commission. Before the first committee meeting, Library Trustee Mike Nagler stepped down from the Library Board and didn't attend any meetings. DISCUSSION The Task Force met on August 3, 2023, to discuss the proposed changes. After discussing and reviewing the document, the committee proposed the following changes to the document. 1. Adding definitions for City Arts Liaisons, Appropriate Department, and Public Right of Way. 2. Including City Arts Liaison throughout the document 3. Updating the notification procedures to align with current practices and new technologies 4. Clarifying the On -loan Policies 5. General grammatical corrections and improved layout. Besides the above changes, the policy remains the same. The process would start when an application is received. The applications will be available on the City website and in the Library and Community Center. The application would be routed to the appropriate commission/department for review. The appointed Arts Liaisons would work with the appropriate commissioners/staff to review the proposed artwork and location at a public meeting. If the artwork is approved, it will be brought before the Council for final approval. Final approval of public art on private property will be the Planning Commission. A similar process would be followed if there was a need to remove the artwork from public spaces. FISCAL IMPACT The City does not have a dedicated funding source for public art at this time. However, as part of the North Rollins Specific Plan, developers may be required to either install public art or pay fees that the City could use to install public art in the North Rollins Road area. If successful, the requirement/fee could be extended city-wide for development projects.

The work of art will be maintained with the same care as the City does in keeping and maintaining other similar City property. Upon receipt of the work of art pursuant to this policy, the City will be responsible for insuring the work of art as it determines appropriate in its sole discretion; however, nothing in this policy shall imply that the City has any obligation to purchase or obtain any insurance regarding the work of art of any kind.

Goldman City Manager Administrative Procedures 2.18 September 5, 2023 Administrative Procedures 2.18 September 5, 2023 Avovw To: Date: From: Subject STAFF REPORT Honorable Mayor and City Council September 5, 2023 AGENDA NO: 12c MEETING DATE: September 5, 2023 Margaret Glomstad, Parks and Recreation Director — (650) 558-7307 Richard Holtz, Parks Superintendent/City Arborist — (650) 558-7333 Consideration of a Resolution to Modify the Themed Block Tree Species for the 1500 - 2000 Blocks of Easton Drive RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council review the Beautification Commission's recommendation to the Council to modify the current Easton Drive Themed Block designated species of Corymbia citriodora (Lemon -Scented Gum) through the addition of Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak) and Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor) and determine if the new theme should be adopted. BACKGROUND The City Council designated the Easton Grove a Heritage Grove (Exhibit A) in the early 1970s. The designation was bestowed because of the large size of the common trees. The original planting included Eucalyptus, Cypress, and Pine trees and is estimated to have included over 250 trees. Most plantings date back to the late 1800s and existed before modern infrastructure conflicts such as pavement, parked vehicles, and overhead electrical conductors. In 2007, the Beautification Commission led public outreach and involved industry experts to establish the 1500-2000 blocks of Easton Drive as a Themed Block area. After much research, the Commission selected the Lemon -Scented Gum as the replacement for the large Blue and Red Gums. The Commission wanted to ensure the unique look of Easton Drive through the use of a historically relevant tree that was more sustainable to maintain than the Blue and Red Gum Eucalyptus trees that presently line the street. Since that time, 15 Lemon -Scented Gum trees have been planted. Recently, the City received a petition to modify the present designated Themed Block species from Corymbia citriodora (Lemon Scented Gum) to a smaller, native species that requires less maintenance. The 1600, 1700, and 2000 blocks of Easton have met the threshold of at least 75% of property owners, per the Street Tree Themed Block policy, expressing a desire to modify the present Themed Block designation. On June 1, 2023, the City Arborist presented a Staff Report (Exhibit B) to the Beautification Commission that included the petition and some potential options for the Commission to consider. 1 Modification of Easton Drive Themed Block September 5, 2023 During discussion, the Commissioners agreed that the corridor of the 1500 — 2000 blocks should be treated as one Themed Block area instead of individual themed blocks. They also expressed interest in adding alternative species to the present Themed Block choice; however, the Commission requested additional information. On August 3, 2023, the Commission reviewed the Staff Report (Exhibit C) with the information requested at the previous meeting. The report also included the City Arborist's recommended modification to the Themed block designation. Based upon the petition received and concerns expressed by residents, the City Arborist recommended including two additional trees as options property owners on the 1500-2000 blocks could choose as replacements for City trees when trees are removed. The additional trees are the Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak) and Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor). Both trees are on the approved Street Tree List (Exhibit D) for six-foot planting strips. The Beautification Commission received significant public comment at both meetings. Some speakers expressed concern that the eucalypti (Eucalyptus and Corymbia) are more likely to lose large limbs and topple in storm events than other species. Others said that changes to the present theme would cause Easton to lose its unique look. Some supported the option for property owners to select from three species. After discussion and public comment, the Commission voted 3-2 to recommend modifying the Themed Block designation along the 1500-2000 blocks of Easton to include Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak) and Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor) in addition to the Corymbia citriodora (Lemon- Scented Gum). Per the Themed Street policy, the Commission's recommendation needs to be approved by the City Council. DISCUSSION Due to the unprecedented storms this year, additional tree work has occurred on Easton Drive, including removing trees for safety reasons. Once the maintenance is completed, 14 large eucalyptus trees will remain on the 1500-2000 blocks of Easton Drive. It is anticipated that more than 25 vacant planting sites will be available this fall. Any decision to modify the Themed Block designation will significantly affect the long-term look of Easton Drive. The three -species selection would return Easton Drive to the original three -species planting and Heritage Grove designation, although all three species remain shorter in stature. Additionally, a narrow, targeted planting list incorporates species and plant family variety that is recommended by industry practices for municipal forests. Introducing species variety avoids the need to clear-cut should a species -specific pest, disease, or issue impact the designated themed tree. This occurred throughout the country with Dutch Elm Disease and is now affecting ash trees due to the Emerald Ash Borer. The Coast Live Oak tree is indigenous to Burlingame and is presently on the City's street tree list for planting strips similar in size to the 1500 - 2000 Easton Drive. It is well suited to Burlingame's climate and is adapted to California's summer -dry climate. It meets the goal of the petition in 2 Modification of Easton Drive Themed Block September 5, 2023 introducing a shorter stature, native tree that requires less maintenance. This tree grows wider than tall, which is helpful for train pruning under utility wires. Oak trees have strong branch attachments and are exceptional at compartmentalizing decay. The Coast Live Oak is susceptible to the terminal disease of Sudden Oak Death. They have a dense, evergreen canopy. Over time, the tree growing wider than tall can create a shaded situation in the landscape or front of a home. The Camphor tree is also on the City's street tree list for planting strips of this size. It is native to Asia. The tree has moderate water use and strong branch attachments. The Camphor tree is an evergreen that has a less dense canopy. This tree is also shorter in stature. There is presently a grove along the 300-700 blocks of Burlingame Avenue that is approximately 70 years old. The tree can have significant surface rooting and is susceptible to verticillium wilt. FISCAL IMPACT The decision to modify the Themed Block Species designation will not have any fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND Themed Blocks are street blocks throughout the City designated as one defined tree species as the only tree to replace street trees removed on the Themed Block. The purpose of a Themed Block is to establish a singular species along a designated block to maintain the intended character of the original plantings. However, trees are not removed for the purpose of contributing to a Themed Block designation. Trees are replaced for health, safety, or infrastructure conflict concerns. The process of having every tree on the Themed Block as the designed Themed species can take generations to complete. Themed Blocks can be one block of a street, a couple of blocks of a street, or the full street. The process to have a block(s) designated as a Themed Block follows an application process that the Beautification Commission hears at a public meeting with the final approval from the City Council. The petition form to Apply for the Establishment, Modifying, or Removing a Street Tree Themed Block can be found on the City website under Parks and Recreation, Trees, Online Tree Documents. When street trees are replaced on blocks not designated a Themed Block, the resident or City Arborist (depending on the location) picks the replacement tree from the Approved Street Tree lists. Easton Drive Easton Drive was once the private driveway to the Black Hawk estate owned by the Easton family. Famed Golden Gate Park Landscaper John Maclaren was enlisted to plant the Blue Gums in the 1870s. Many of the trees have been preserved and endured for decades. In 1976, the Easton Drive trees were included in a Heritage Grove designation (Exhibit A). As large Eucalyptus trees were removed, some community members expressed an interest in keeping Easton Drive as a large canopy grove. As a result, the Beautification Commission held 1 Consideration of Themed Block Revision for 1600-1700 Block of Easton Drive June 1, 2023 public meetings to discuss establishing Easton Drive's 1500 - 2000 blocks as Themed Blocks as a long-range plan for Easton Drive (Exhibit B). Some of the meetings that were held included arboriculture experts Larry Costello and David Dockter, offering opinions of Eucalypt species more suitable for the Urban environment. The meetings were publicly noticed and culminated with a community meeting at the Presbyterian Church on June 28, 2007. The final decision was to establish Corymbia Citriodora (Lemon Scented Gum) as the Themed species for this area whenever a tree was replaced. The Lemon Scented Gum was selected because of its shorter stature, less propensity for branch failure, and cleaner presence than its cousin, the Blue Gum. Since 2008, this tree has been planted to replace trees removed on Easton Drive's 1500 - 2000 blocks. The oldest Lemon Scented Gum planted on Easton Drive is located in front of the Easton Library. It was planted in 2008 to replace "Tom the Tree," a large Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree. Lemon Scented Gum The Lemon Scented Gum is a relative of the Eucalyptus tree. Where the Blue Gum specimen can reach heights of over 200 feet tall and has a reputation as a messy tree shedding large barks straps and dropping acorns, the Lemon Scented Gum, in contrast, has a smaller stature reaching a typical height of 75 feet tall in the urban environment. This species does not shed bark straps nor drop large acorns. The tree has been planted in many municipal landscapes, including San Francisco, Santa Monica, and Coronado. The specimen is featured and recommended as a specimen tree in landscapes. It has been found on recommended plant lists by an Australian government agency (Exhibit C). This is due to the tree's ecological benefits, wildlife support, climate adaptability, low-water use, disease resistance, and life expectancy. The tree has also been found on a do not plant list due to invasiveness and branch failure rate (Exhibit D). Another discussion in 2013 stated that arborists have not been able to demonstrate a higher instance of branch failure among Lemon Scented Gums (Exhibit E). The City's experience with this species is limited to plantings along Easton Drive and Burlingame Avenue. Easton Drive Eucalyptus Since the early 2000s, the Easton Drive Eucalyptus trees have experienced an accelerated maintenance program. This includes independent arborist reporting every two years and pruning every three years. The accelerated program aims to identify the potential increased likelihood of failure. Reduction of the likelihood of failure is achieved through pruning and canopy reduction or removal if warranted. The canopy reduction reduces the loading effect of wind to reduce the likelihood of a toppling event. When the risk cannot be mitigated through pruning, whole tree removals are considered. Since the Themed Block was established for Easton Drive, no requests to change the Themed designation have been received by City staff. ni-qr_i i_qcinN 2 Consideration of Themed Block Revision for 1600-1700 Block of Easton Drive June 1, 2023 The significant storms of winter 2023 saw many large tree failures. One large Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree failed, and six others showed significant movement in the soil, indicating an elevated risk for potential failure. Out of an abundance of caution, City staff recommended the evacuation of homes near trees with the perceived elevated risk. As staff met with Easton Drive residents, some expressed concern about living amongst these tall trees. They shared that they did not want the Lemon Scented Gum tree to be the replacement tree. A resident circulated a letter that some residents signed requesting the Beautification Commission's consideration of a shorter, native species that are more sustainable and requires less maintenance. Residents circulated the required petition and received the signatures of 80% of the property owners of the 1600 block of Easton Drive (Exhibit F). The 1700 block of Easton Drive received 88.8% of property owners (Exhibit G). Petitions were also sought from 1500, 1800, 1900, and 2000 blocks of Easton Drive. Only the 1600 - 1700 blocks met the 75% threshold for Themed Block modification. Overall, the sentiment of the property owners is to remove Lemon Scented Gum as the Themed species on all of the Themed Blocks at a rate of 61.5% to modify to a native species, with 32 of 52 property owners signing the petition letter (Exhibits H). Exhibit I shows which property owners signed the petition, noted in yellow. The properties noted in red either didn't sign the petition or could not be verified as the property owner based on the County property records search. The Commission has several options to consider below. However, though the petition only met the threshold to consider changing the Theme on the 1600 - 1700 blocks, the entirety of the 1500 - 2000 block corridor should be reviewed due to the grove's heritage designation, reforestation plan for the area, and petition statement. In addition, the Commission should consider how possible species will interact with overhead conductors on the south side of Easton Drive. Reject the Petition By rejecting the petition, the Lemon Scented Gum will remain the Themed Block species for the 1600-1700 blocks of Easton Drive. The basis for this decision could include that significant community outreach occurred in 2007. Industry experts and staff invested considerable time in developing a long-range reforestation plan for Easton Drive to create a sustainable grove that embraced the history and uniqueness of Easton Drive for generations to enjoy. By selecting the Lemon Scented Gum, it addressed the community concerns regarding debris produced and the height of mature trees. Modify the Existing Long -Range Reforestation Plan for the 1600 - 1700 Blocks of Easton Drive Recognizing a shift in neighborhood demographics and desires, the Commission could change the existing Themed of Lemon -Scented Gum. The options include: 1. The Commission could select a new Themed species on the 1600 - 1700 blocks of Easton Drive. 2. The Commission could include additional tree options on an Easton Drive -specific Street Tree list, allowing property owners or the City Arborist to select replacement trees from a narrow list. This option may or may not include the Lemon Scented Gum. 3 Consideration of Themed Block Revision for 1600-1700 Block of Easton Drive June 1, 2023 Because the planter strips on this part of Easton Drive were kept very wide to accommodate the large Eucalyptus trees, large trees should be considered due to a lessened likelihood of infrastructure conflict and the greater benefits large trees provide to the community. Examples of some potential tree species to consider are below.

Request Additional Information To help in the decision -making process, the Commission could require additional information. If this is the case, the Commission can table the item until the additional information is ready for the Commission's review at a future regularly scheduled Commission meeting date. EXHIBITS A.

Welcome and Introductions Chairperson McQuaide welcomed and thanked everyone for coming. Chairperson McQuaide stated that, based on comments at the first forum a consensus was reached to keep the same look or character of the neighborhood by replacing with a Eucalyptus variety that had wind stability, had little or no fruit, but would grove from 60 to 80', having a similar trunk girth to the existing Blue Gums. She explained that at the last forum, three Eucalyptus species were selected as possible replacements, the Sugar Gum Eucalyptus as primary tree, the Eucalyptus Nicolii as corner trees, and the Eucalyptus ficifolia as the replacement tree when the tree in front of the library was to be removed. Since that time, it has been realized that the Eucalyptus ficifolia drops flowers and has large fruit, and though the Sugar Gum Eucalyptus is beautiful, it is only available in the United Kingdom; no suppliers grow them, but that the Eucalyptus Nicolii variety, favored as corner trees, is readily available. Chairperson McQuaide continued that tonight's forum will focus on affirming a Eucalyptus specie as the replacement tree on Easton Drive, and if affirmed, selecting and reaching consensus as to which readily available Eucalyptus specie(s) would be used as the primary tree and what if any would be used as corner trees, and the replacement for the tree fronting the Easton Branch Library. She concluded that staff will present pictures of Eucalyptus species for consideration and that consensus reached at this meeting will be further discussed at the Beautification Commission meeting of August 2°1. A recommendation from the Commission will be forwarded to the City Council. Director- Schwartz introduced new commissioner, Bobbi Benson, and Commissioner Ellis, and noted that Commissioner Susie Lahey, would not be participating as a Commissioner but is attending the meeting and in the audience observing as an interested homeowner on Easton Drive. Director Schwartz also introduced Parks Division staff: Superintendent Richmond, Supervisor Disco, and Secretary Harvey; and Public Works engineer Augustine Chou, and representatives from the Traffic, Safety, and Parking Commission, Steve Warden and Mike Bohnert. 1 Community Forum and Discussion — Easton Drive Tree Selection Director Schwartz noted that replacements of the Eucalyptus trees will occur gradually happening over the next 20 years as existing trees require removal. He explained that since the last forum it has been suggested that perhaps other tree species (such as Redwoods and Elms) be considered as replacement trees on Easton Drive. Director Schwartz then asked for input from the audience on the specie selection. The discussion included some comments and concerns with regard to: Planting locations on Easton Drive; planting in empty planting sites; parking concerns; El Camino Real Eucalyptus tree removal and replacements with Elms; City policy that trees are planted in vacant sites only if approved by the property owner; watering/maintenance practices of City trees, etc. Additional comments from the audience were: If the Easton Drive Eucalyptus need removing, they should be replaced with a Eucalyptus specie, otherwise Easton Drive would not be the same; an important and majestic grove of trees should only be replaced with the same variety of tree, and that some streets, like Easton Drive, warrant larger trees and a uniform selection because of the historic significance of the street (entrance to an estate), Following the discussion, Director Schwartz asked for a "thumbs up" consensus affirming that the Eucalyptus specie be the favored replacement tree on Easton Drive. Consensus was reached affirming that only the Eucalyptus specie be considered as the replacement tree for Easton Drive and there were no contrary comments. Superintendent Richmond then presented pictures of several Eucalyptus species: Eucalyptus Citriodora (readily available), Eucalyptus Nicolii (readily available), and the Eucalyptus Saligna (contract grown only). Supervisor Disco noted that the existing Eucalyptus Globulus is not available, and he does not believe the next closest to that, the Sidney Blue Gum, is readily available. He noted that because the Easton Drive Eucs will be removed one by one, as necessary, contract growing can only be considered for growing a larger quantity of trees. Commissioner Warden stated that several more trees may also need removing and replacing in the near future; Councilmember Cohen clarified that if the intent is reforestation, then planting in the existing vacant planting sites as well as any projected removal sites, might be enough to consider contract growing. Supervisor Disco agreed, but that it would depend on the mimmwil number of plants the contractor would be willing to grow, and the resulting cost. Director Schwartz asked for audience discussion and input. Some comments from the audience included: Planting in city -owned planter strips used for parking; residents willingness to "give up" parking places; planting with the Iron Bark Eucalyptus on the corners; keeping the same variety on both sides of the street; and consideration of putting a planter strip down the center of Easton Drive. Superintendent Richmond noted that at the previous forum expert David Docktor presented a list of 3 large alternatives to the Blue Gum: the Sugar Gum or Cladocalyx is not readily available, and the Sidney Blue Gum can be contract grown from seed or the City can purchase a minimum of 1000 seedlings at a cost of $1000. This requires space to grow 1.000 seedlings, and the man power to care for the seedlings. Superintendent Richmond noted, however, that the Eucalyptus Citriodora `Lemon Scented Gum', with copper colorations in the trunk, thin bark, broad canopy, with growth to 100' is readily available. He noted that one will soon be planted in front of the Burlingame Recreation Center. Supervisor Disco stated that the girth of the trunk is approximately 90", the debris from trunk is virtually non existent, the tree has small fruit, and a grove of this specie Eucalyptus exists in the City of Palo Alto. Chairperson McQuaide noted that the Eucalyptus Citriodora meets the desired characteristics: wind tolerant, frost tolerant, fast growing, height but it has a smaller trunk girth than the Blue Gum or Sydney Blue Gum. 2 Community Forum and Discussion — Easton Drive Tree Selection — (Contd.) Following the discussion, Director Schwartz stated that staff s recommendation is for the Eucalyptus Citriodora to be planted as the primary replacement tree on Easton Drive and asked the audience for a "thumbs up" consensus of that recommendation. Consensus was reached to plant the Eucalyptus Citriodora as the primary replacement tree and there were no contrary comments. Supervisor Disco then presented pictures and commented on the accent trees previously considered for use on corners and in front of the Easton Branch Library if the existing Eucalyptus tree is removed: 1) Eucalyptus Nicolii — Grows to 50', has very narrow leaves; lacey and soft looking, bark is rough and does not shed. Supt. Richmond noted that this specie is readily available and Chairperson McQuaide added this tree would allow for better visibility on the corners. 2) Eucalyptus ficifolia — Grows to approximately 50% showy red flowers that drop off with large seed capsules. The tree also drips nectar. Some comments and concerns from the audience were as follows: All the trees on Easton Drive should be the same; corner trees should be repositioned when planted with traffic visibility taken into account; all the trees should be the same, no accent trees, and the corner trees should be planted at a safe distance from the corner; and planting something different, and something with flowers, would detract from the fabulous renovation to the Easton Branch Library; the same tree should be planted all along Easton Drive; where are accent trees going to be planted?; how far from the corners? (PW would be consulted); why would you plant accent trees on an avenue with grand trees? Following the comments and discussion, Director Schwartz asked for a "thumbs up" consensus of planting the same specie Eucalyptus, all along Easton Drive, including the corners and in front of the Easton Branch Library. Consensus was reached to have no corner or "accent" trees and there were no contrary corrunents. Director Schwartz summarized the conclusions of the forum to be discussed at the next Beautification Commission meeting of August 2"d: 1) Eucalyptus to be the only tree genus to be considered as suitable for Easton Drive tree replacement. 2) The favored Eucalyptus specie to be considered is the readily available Eucalyptus Citriodora. 3) That there be no corner or "accent" trees; Eucalyptus Citriodora be the sole replacement tree all along the lower Easton Drive. Director Schwartz noted that Traffic, Safety, and Parking Commission will meet in Council Chambers on July 12t1i at 7:00 pm and will be discussing the Easton Drive tree replacement and making recommendation to the Council. The Beautification Commission will be meeting in City Hall's Conference Room "A" on August 2°d at 5:30pm, and will be discussing the Easton Drive tree replacement plan and making a recommendation to Council. 3 Community Forum and Discussion — Easton Drive Tree Selection — (Contd.) Some closing comments from the audience were: Promote the restoration of Easton Drive and try to get people interested and enthusiastic about having a new Eucalyptus tree planted in vacant planting sites fronting their homes; on streets that have historical value, the City should approve the planting of larger canopy trees; try to identify and report on trees that have been removed in the past and try to determine what the reasons are for the empty spaces. Chairperson McQuaide thanked everyone for their input and reminded everyone to attend the upcoming Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission and Beautification Commission meetings. There being no further comments, the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 pm.

Follow THE City Council is set to back away from plans to plant only lemon scented gums in Victoria Square, following complaints about the risk of the natives dropping limbs. Council staff are now proposing to plant 28 plane trees in rows either side of the planned event lawn in the northern half of the square, as part of its multi -million dollar upgrade. Councillors will consider the change tonight. More than 70 lemon scented gums would still be planted elsewhere in the square and the council insists they do not pose a higher safety risk than other species. But a council report does say the risk posed by trees around the event lawn is higher because people are more likely to sit under them than trees closer to the edge of the square. httns'//wwwarielaidennwr.nmau/newc/snufh-niictralia/rite-rniincil_Innkc_in_ccran_cnma_lamnn_ccantari_niim_from_virfnria_cniinra-iinnrnHi /nQ1Ai ctn / I1A 5/23/23, 12:31 PM City Council looks to scrap some lemon scented gum from Victoria Square upgrade i The Advertiser The report says the council has received several complaints about the choice of gums for the event lawn because they were "notorious for dropping limbs for no apparent reason and pose a safety hazard to the public". "Others have stated that gum trees are messy and unattractive and therefore not appropriate for planting in the square." The report says the council has consulted with local and interstate arborists and concluded there is "no scientific evidence" that lemon scented gums drop limbs more than other species, despite "anecdotal evidence and widespread public perception". Lord Mayor Stephen Yarwood had previously supported the plan for exclusively planting natives to give the square a uniform look. But this week he said: "I'm not fussed what trees we have as long as we have as many as possible. "Any trees will be managed with significant care, which does minimise that risk." The report says falling limbs are a public safety risk with the potential to cause "asset damage, personal injury and/or death". Risk would be minimised by planting healthy, structurally sound nursery stock, planting trees close together to reduce the size of their canopies and the weight of spreading branches, watering them in summer and expert pruning. The plane trees would provide a "good design contrast" to the gums and "visually link with the plane trees along King William St", the report says.

BullinInme Beaulification Comnussion. Burlingatim City Counral Dear Sir/Madam, This letter is to request you to reconsider Eucalyptus trees as the chosen species for Fasten Drive, Burlingarnr.-. Thr; winter storms in Feb and March 2023 have caused a few trees to fail, with one causing darnage to a housr, and vehicle. The damage could have been way worse and potentially life threatening. We believe these trees are not the best option for Easton Drive. Eucalyptus trees are not particularly well -suited for Northern California due to the region's cooler climate and wetter winters. Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, where they thrive in a warm, Mediterranean climate with dry summers and mild winters. The soil in Australia is also less nutrient -rich so the trees stay smaller and their runts roust dive deep in order to survive. In contrast, Northern California's climate is cooler and wetter and the soil is richer which means Eucalyptus trees grow very quickly with more shallow roots because their roots don't need to reach as far down into the soil for nutrients'. The high winds from winter storms combined with the Eucalyptus trees' shallow root structure makes them susceptible to failures. We witnessed the impact of this during the storms in Feb 2023 when a large tree fell on 1809 Easton Dr and caused damage to the house and vehicle. This tree was not flagged as a cause for concern prior to that and the failure was purely a result of the winter storms. We saw similar tree failures in Coyote Point, with over 62 healthy Eucalyptus trees falling since January. In addition, Eucalyptus trees can be invasive and can disrupt the local ecosystem. As compared to some other tree species, they tend to be a fire hazard and drop limbs regularly. Limb dropping from such high elevations poses immense risk to life and property. Several houses on Easton Drive have young kids and there are two schools in the neighborhood and having high risk trees is not prudent. Due to all the issues with Eucalyptus trees, many of our neighboring cities (Berkeley, Oakland, Mill Valley, San Francisco) have been removing Eucalyptus trees and restricting planting more in the future. In reviewing the notes of the Beautification Commission meeting held on June 28th, 2007, we understand that Easton is a themed street, and the committee has chosen Eucalyptus Citriodora (or Corymbia Citriodora) trees for the theme. The Eucalyptus Citriodora tree still poses similar risks: (1) They tend to be invasive and can hurt the local ecosystem and native species, (2) They can grow up to 150 ft tall and grow extremely fast (3) They have the propensity to shed large, heavy limbs, and (4) They are a fire hazard due to the flammable oils in them. These trees are not well suited for urban environments and the Government of Western Australia placed them on an "avoid" list. If the Government of Western Australia, where this is a native species, has listed them as a hazardous tree, we shouldn't be planting them in our residential communities. Given this information, we don't believe Eucalyptus Citriodora is the right tree species for Easton Drive. We, as residents of Easton Dr, want Easton to continue to be a themed block. We are requesting that you consider replacing Eucalyptus trees with a different species that is shorter, native to Northern California, more sustainable and easier to maintain, and doesn't pose as significant a risk to life and property.

The soil in Australia is also less nutrient -rich so the trees stay smaller and their roots must dive deep in order to survive. In contrast, Northern California's climate is cooler and wetter and the soil is richer which means Eucalyptus trees grow very quickly with more shallow roots because their roots don't need to reach as far down into the soil for nutrients'. The high winds from winter storms combined with the Eucalyptus trees' shallow root structure makes them susceptible to failures. We witnessed the impact of this during the storms in Feb 2023 when a large tree fell on 1809 Easton Dr and caused damage to the house and vehicle. This tree was not flagged as a cause for concern prior to that and the failure was purely a result of the winter storms. We saw similar tree failures in Coyote Point, with over 62 healthy Eucalyptus trees falling since January. In addition, Eucalyptus trees can be invasive and can disrupt the local ecosystem. As compared to some other tree species, they tend to be a fire hazard and drop limbs regularly. Limb dropping from such high elevations poses immense risk to life and property. Several houses on Easton Drive have young kids and there are two schools in the neighborhood and having high risk trees is not prudent. Due to all the issues with Eucalyptus trees, many of our neighboring cities (Berkeley, Oakland, Mill Valley, San Francisco) have been removing Eucalyptus trees and restricting planting more in the future. In reviewing the notes of the Beautification Commission meeting held on June 28th, 2007, we understand that Easton is a themed street, and the committee has chosen Eucalyptus Citriodora (or Corymbia Citriodora) trees for the theme. The Eucalyptus Citriodora tree still poses similar risks: (1) They tend to be invasive and can hurt the local ecosystem and native species, (2) They can grow up to 150 ft tall and grow extremely fast2 (3) They have the propensity to shed large, heavy limbs, and (4) They are a fire hazard due to the Flammable oils in them. These trees are not well suited for urban environments and the Government of Western Australia placed them on an "avoid" list'. If the Government of Western Australia, where this is a native species, has listed them as a hazardous tree, we shouldn't be planting them in our residential communities. Given this information, we don't believe Eucalyptus Citriodora is the right tree species for Easton Drive. We, as residents of Easton Dr, want Easton to continue to be a Chemed block. We are requesting that you consider replacing Eucalyptus trees with a different species that is shorter, native to Northern California, more sustainable and easier to maintain, and doesn't pose as significant a risk to life and property.

Eucalyptus trees are not particularly well -suited for Northern California due to the region's cooler climate and wetter winters Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, where they thrive in a warm, Mediterranean climate with dry summers and mild winters. The soil in Australia is also less nutrient -rich so the trees stay smaller and their roots must dive deep in order to survive. In contrast, Northern California s climate is cooler and wetter and the soil is richer which means Eucalyptus trees grow very quickly with more shallow roots because their roots don't need to reach as far down into the soil for nutrients'. The high winds from winter storms combined with the Eucalyptus trees' shallow root structure makes them susceptible to failures We witnessed the impact of this during the storms in Feb 2023 when a large tree fell on 1809 Easton Dr and caused damage to the house and vehicle. This tree was not flagged as a cause for concern prior to that and the failure was purely a result of the winter storms. We saw similar tree failures in Coyote Point, with over 62 healthy Eucalyptus trees falling since January. In addition, Eucalyptus trees can be invasive and can disrupt the local ecosystem. As compared to some other tree species, they tend to be a fire hazard and drop limbs regularly. Limb dropping from such high elevations poses immense risk to life and property. Several houses on Easton Drive have young kids and there are two schools in the neighborhood and having high risk trees is not prudent Due to all the issues with Eucalyptus trees, many of our neighboring cities (Berkeley, Oakland, Mill Va(ley, San Francisco) have been removing Eucalyptus trees and restricting planting more in the future. In reviewing the notes of the Beautification Commission meeting held on June 28th, 2007, we understand that Easton is a themed street, and the committee has chosen Eucalyptus Citriodora (or Corymbia Citriodora) trees for the theme The Eucalyptus Citriodora tree still poses similar risks. (1) They tend to be invasive and can hurt the local ecosystem and native species, (2) They can grow up to 150 ft tall and grow extremely fast' (3) They have the propensity to shed large, heavy limbs, and (4) They are a fire hazard due to the flammable oils in them These trees are not well suited for urban environments and the Government of Western Australia placed them on an "avoid' list' If the Government of Western Australia, where this Is a native species, has listed there as a hazardous tree, we shouldn't be planting them in our residential communities Given this information, we don't believe Eucalyptus Citriodora is the right tree species for Easton Drive We, as residents of Easton Dr, want Easton to continue to be a themed block.

We witnessed the impact of this during the storms in Feb 2023 when a large tree fell on 1809 Easton Dr and caused damage to the house and vehicle. This tree was not flagged as a cause for concern prior to that and the failure was purely a result of the winter storms. We saw similar tree failures in Coyote Point, with over 62 healthy Eucalyptus trees falling since January. In addition, Eucalyptus trees can be invasive and can disrupt the local ecosystem. As compared to some other tree species, they tend to be a fire hazard and drop limbs regularly. Limb dropping from such high elevations poses immense risk to life and property. Several houses on Easton Drive have young kids and there are two schools in the neighborhood and having high risk trees is not prudent. Due to all the issues with Eucalyptus trees, many of our neighboring cities (Berkeley, Oakland, Mill Valley, San Francisco) have been removing Eucalyptus trees and restricting planting more in the future. In reviewing the notes of the Beautification Commission meeting held on June 28th, 2007, we understand that Easton is a themed street, and the committee has chosen Eucalyptus Citriodora (or Corymbia Citriodora) trees for the theme. The Eucalyptus Citriodora tree still poses similar risks: (1) They tend to be invasive and can hurt the local ecosystem and native species, (2) They can grow up to 150 ft tall and grow extremely fast2 (3) They have the propensity to shed large, heavy limbs, and (4) They are a fire hazard due to the flammable oils in them. These trees are not well suited for urban environments and the Government of Western Australia placed them on an "avoid" list'. If the Government of Western Australia, where this is a native species, has listed them as a hazardous tree, we shouldn't be planting them in our residential communities. Given this information, we don't believe Eucalyptus Citriodora is the right tree species for Easton Drive. We, as residents of Easton Dr, want Easton to continue to be a themed block. We are requesting that you consider replacing Eucalyptus trees with a different species that is shorter, native to Northern California, more sustainable and easier to maintain, and doesn't pose as significant a risk to life and property.

The winter storms in Feb and March 2023 have caused a few trees to fail, with one causing damage to a house and vehicle. The damage could have been way worse and potentially life threatening. We believe these trees are not the best option for Easton Drive. Eucalyptus trees are not particularly well -suited for Northern California due to the region's cooler climate and wetter winters. Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, where they thrive in a warm, Mediterranean climate with dry summers and mild winters. The soil in Australia is also less nutrient -rich so the trees stay smaller and their roots must dive deep in order to survive.

The Eucalyptus Citriodora tree still poses similar risks: (1) They tend to be invasive and can hurt the local ecosystem and native species, (2) They can grow up to 150 ft tall and grow extremely fast= (3) They have the propensity to shed large, heavy limbs, and (4) They are a fire hazard due to the flammable oils in them. These trees are not well suited for urban environments and the Government of Western Australia placed them on an "avoid' list'. If the Government of Western Australia, where this is a native species, has listed them as a hazardous tree, we shouldn't be planting them in our residential communities. Given this information, we don't believe Eucalyptus Citriodora is the right tree species for Easton Drive. We, as residents of Easton Dr, want Easton to continue to be a Chemed block. We are requesting that you consider replacing Eucalyptus trees with a different species that is shorter, native to Northern California, more sustainable and easier to maintain, and doesn't pose as significant a risk to life and property.

BURLINGAME STAFF REPORT To: Beautification Commission Date: August 3, 2023 From: Richard Holtz, Parks Superintendent/City Arborist Subject: Consideration of Themed Block Tree Species Modification for the 1500 - 2000 Blocks of Easton Drive RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission review options to modify the present Themed Block designated species of Corymbia citriodora (Lemon -Scented Gum). BACKGROUND The City received a petition to modify the present designated Themed Block species from Corymbia citriodora (Lemon Scented Gum) to a smaller, native species that requires less maintenance. The 1600, 1700, and 2000 blocks of Easton have met the threshold of at least 75% of property owners expressing a desire to modify the present Themed Block designation. On June 1, 2023, the City Arborist presented a STAFF REPORT (Exhibit A) that included the petition and some potential options for the Commission to consider. During the meeting, significant public comment expressed both support for continuing with the present Themed Block designation of Corymbia citriodora and for changing the tree designation due to continued concerns about the existing species. During the Commissioner's discussion, the Commissioners agreed that the corridor of 1500 — 2000 blocks should be treated as one Themed Block area instead of individual themed blocks. They also agreed to consider changing the present Themed Block designated species however, the Commission requested additional information. The Commission asked staff to do further research on species options and return at a future meeting. Specifically, Commissioners asked for the following: • Experiences other agencies have had with Corymbia citriodora • Differences between Eucalyptus globulus (Blue Gum) and Corymbia citriodora (Lemon - Scented Gum) • Difference between a heritage tree and a heritage grove • Comparison of additional species that could be considered 1 Consideration of Themed Block Modification for the 1500-2000 Blocks of Easton Drive August 3, 2023 DISCUSSION Other Agencies Experience Staff contacted neighboring municipalities of San Francisco and Palo Alto regarding their experience with Corymbia citriodora. The information provided was quite limited. San Francisco reported 25 trees in their inventory. However, their inventory is likely greater, considering they had recently planted several along Van Ness Ave and Potrero Hill near 24th (Exhibit B). San Francisco did report challenges in establishing these trees due to wind, vandalism, and traffic constraints. Palo Alto reported having 21 of this species. All are located in two parks. They do not actively plant this species and have favored native trees in the public right of way. The only work record shown was the retrieval of a large, downed branch. Parks staff also contacted Southern California municipalities of Lomita, Ventura, and Santa Barbara. Only Santa Barabara responded. They stated they have over 150 of this species. Most are in Parks or non -street locations. These specimens were believed to have been planted in the 1950s and 1960s. They are observed to have a typical height of sixty feet, though some have grown taller. Sant Barbara does note that their experience was that the species had an elevated likelihood of large branch failures compared to the average failure rate of other species in their urban forest. They believe the risk could be mitigated through regular inspection and pruning. This requires additional maintenance to prune these specimens' end weight to lessen the likelihood of failure. This included significant train pruning during younger years of growth to establish appropriate form, branch spacing, and strong attachments. Eucalyptus Globulus vs. Corymbia Citrodora Both species are part of the Eucalypt family. Until 1995, species in the genus Corymbia were labeled as genus Eucalyptus. Taxonomists reclassified this group into the newly formed genus of Corymbia because of notable differences in the form of the flowering structure. Species Common Name Height Width Eucalyptus Globulus Blue Gum 150'+ 50-100' Corymbia Citriodora Lemon Scented Gum 60-100' 15-50' Eucalyptus globulus is a fast-growing large tree that has been used worldwide for quick timber growth. The tree produces significant eucalyptol oil utilized in medications and other remedies. The tree sheds bark and has a propensity for creating a lot of debris. Accumulated debris and natural oils can increase fire intensity in un-maintained landscapes. The tree was brought to California in 1853 for ornamental and lumber purposes. Over time, the species proved to be poor quality for lumber. It is now classified as a pest and is not recommended to be planted in California. Additionally, the large specimens have shown, in some cases, to have a greater likelihood of large branch and whole tree failures. Corymbia citrodora is a tree that is prized in landscapes for its striking white bark coloration and open branching form. The tree is well adapted to California. Leaves expel a "lemon scent" when crushed. This specimen is smaller in size and does not produce the long bark strips nor significant 2 Consideration of Themed Block Modification for the 1500-2000 Blocks of Easton Drive August 3, 2023 vegetative debris that the Eucalyptus globulus does. This tree does have an increased likelihood of large branch failure and is also shallow -rooted. The City of Burlingame has been planting Corymbia citriodora trees since 2007. The largest specimen is located at 1800 Easton Drive (Exhibit C). Heritage Tree vs. Heritage Grove The City has a heritage tree program established by Municipal Code 11.06.030 in 1975. Citizens can nominate both public and private trees to be considered to receive this designation by the Burlingame Beautification Commission and City Council. Trees receiving this designation receive additional scrutiny before being approved for removal. Though still in existence, this program has been rarely utilized since 1976. The focus of our urban forest program has been to preserve the entire urban forest by focusing efforts on the Private Protected Tree Removal program. This requires private property owners to apply for a permit from the City before removing or pruning a tree greater than 33%. This requirement is for all species with a Diameter at Standard Height (DSH) greater than 14". The heritage designation is bestowed upon one tree or a grove consisting of multiple trees of similar species, size, or age along City streets or growing in a specific locale (Exhibit D). City Council designated Easton Drive a heritage grove of pines, cypress and eucalyptus trees in 1973- 75. The designation was bestowed on these mostly common trees because of their immense size. At present, 33 larger Eucalyptus trees remain. Additional Species to Consider The planter strip areas along the 1500-2000 blocks of Easton were made intentionally wide to accommodate growing space for the large trees planted. Because of the increased area available for future growth, species larger than typically included on our general street tree lists should be considered. This is not only to preserve the intended "look" of Easton Drive but also for the ecological benefits large specimen trees provide our community. Petitioners have indicated an interest in a shorter, native tree that requires less maintenance. Commissioners have indicated they would like to see tree replacement options that mimic the intended canopy the Corymbia citriodora would provide, whether native or non-native. Staff conducted significant research, including discussions with other municipalities, a review of municipal planting plans, and web research, including https://selectree.calpoly.edu/. After a review of opportunities available, experience with the species, and infrastructure and maintenance considerations, including water use, branch strength, root conflict, size, and typical shape, the following ten trees meet the criteria (Exhibit E has a comprehensive comparison of the species). Species Common Name Calocedrus decurrens Incense cedar Cinamomum camphora Camphor tree Corymbia citriodora Lemon Scented Gum Lyonothamnus floribundus Catalina Ironwood Quercus agrifolia Coast Live Oak 3 Consideration of Themed Block Modification for the 1500-2000 Blocks of Easton Drive August 3, 2023 Quercus coccinea Scarlet oak Quercus lobata Valley Oak Quercus suber Cork Oak Sequoia sempervirens Coastal Redwood Ulmus 'Patriot' Patriot Elm The City Arborist recommends two additional species in addition to the present theme of Corymbia citriodora: Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak) and Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor). Both trees have a similar rounded form with strong branching attachments. This has allowed both species to successfully grow wider than high with a low incidence of branch failure or other infrastructure conflict. The planter strips on Easton are wider than on Burlingame Ave, where we have successfully planted camphor trees with little conflict. The selected camphor and coast live oak trees aim to create an umbrella canopy across Easton Drive similar to that of Burlingame Ave. The Corymbia citriodora would elevate the canopy above the Camphors or Coast Live Oaks. Additionally, selecting a multi -genera approach is in line with common industry recommendations. Utilizing trees from differing families lessens the likelihood of urban forest devastation due to pests and disease. The Dutch Elm Disease of the 1900's caused whole urban landscapes to be stripped of mature trees. The same is true of ash trees being removed wholesale in neighborhoods throughout the mid -west due to the Emerald Ash Borer. Limiting property owner choice on species planted along Easton Drive to a few key species helps balance public demand and risk and provides sound pest and disease management options. Any decision made by the Commission to modify the Themed Block designation will subsequently be presented to the City Council for approval before the change can take effect. FISCAL IMPACT The decision to modify the Themed Block Species designation will not have any fiscal impact. EXHIBITS A. Staff Report June 1, 2023 B.

Matrix of Additional Species to Consider on Easton Themed Blocks jrj BURLINGAME STAFF REPORT To: Beautification Commission Date: June 1, 2023 From: Richard Holtz, Parks Superintendent/City Arborist Subject: Consideration of Changing the Themed Block Tree Species for the 1600 - 1700 Blocks of Easton Drive RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission review the petition received for the 1600 - 1700 blocks of Easton Drive and consider changing the current Themed Block tree species. BACKGROUND Themed Blocks are street blocks throughout the City designated as one defined tree species as the only tree to replace street trees removed on the Themed Block. The purpose of a Themed Block is to establish a singular species along a designated block to maintain the intended character of the original plantings. However, trees are not removed for the purpose of contributing to a Themed Block designation. Trees are replaced for health, safety, or infrastructure conflict concerns. The process of having every tree on the Themed Block as the designed Themed species can take generations to complete. Themed Blocks can be one block of a street, a couple of blocks of a street, or the full street. The process to have a block(s) designated as a Themed Block follows an application process that the Beautification Commission hears at a public meeting with the final approval from the City Council. The petition form to Apply for the Establishment, Modifying, or Removing a Street Tree Themed Block can be found on the City website under Parks and Recreation, Trees, Online Tree Documents. When street trees are replaced on blocks not designated a Themed Block, the resident or City Arborist (depending on the location) picks the replacement tree from the Approved Street Tree lists. Easton Drive Easton Drive was once the private driveway to the Black Hawk estate owned by the Easton family. Famed Golden Gate Park Landscaper John Maclaren was enlisted to plant the Blue Gums in the 1870s. Many of the trees have been preserved and endured for decades. In 1976, the Easton Drive trees were included in a Heritage Grove designation (Exhibit A). As large Eucalyptus trees were removed, some community members expressed an interest in keeping Easton Drive as a large canopy grove. As a result, the Beautification Commission held 1 Consideration of Themed Block Revision for 1600-1700 Block of Easton Drive June 1, 2023 public meetings to discuss establishing Easton Drive's 1500 - 2000 blocks as Themed Blocks as a long-range plan for Easton Drive (Exhibit B). Some of the meetings that were held included arboriculture experts Larry Costello and David Dockter, offering opinions of Eucalypt species more suitable for the Urban environment. The meetings were publicly noticed and culminated with a community meeting at the Presbyterian Church on June 28, 2007. The final decision was to establish Corymbia Citriodora (Lemon Scented Gum) as the Themed species for this area whenever a tree was replaced. The Lemon Scented Gum was selected because of its shorter stature, less propensity for branch failure, and cleaner presence than its cousin, the Blue Gum. Since 2008, this tree has been planted to replace trees removed on Easton Drive's 1500 - 2000 blocks. The oldest Lemon Scented Gum planted on Easton Drive is located in front of the Easton Library. It was planted in 2008 to replace "Tom the Tree," a large Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree. Lemon Scented Gum The Lemon Scented Gum is a relative of the Eucalyptus tree. Where the Blue Gum specimen can reach heights of over 200 feet tall and has a reputation as a messy tree shedding large barks straps and dropping acorns, the Lemon Scented Gum, in contrast, has a smaller stature reaching a typical height of 75 feet tall in the urban environment. This species does not shed bark straps nor drop large acorns. The tree has been planted in many municipal landscapes, including San Francisco, Santa Monica, and Coronado. The specimen is featured and recommended as a specimen tree in landscapes. It has been found on recommended plant lists by an Australian government agency (Exhibit C). This is due to the tree's ecological benefits, wildlife support, climate adaptability, low-water use, disease resistance, and life expectancy. The tree has also been found on a do not plant list due to invasiveness and branch failure rate (Exhibit D). Another discussion in 2013 stated that arborists have not been able to demonstrate a higher instance of branch failure among Lemon Scented Gums (Exhibit E). The City's experience with this species is limited to plantings along Easton Drive and Burlingame Avenue. Easton Drive Eucalyptus Since the early 2000s, the Easton Drive Eucalyptus trees have experienced an accelerated maintenance program. This includes independent arborist reporting every two years and pruning every three years. The accelerated program aims to identify the potential increased likelihood of failure. Reduction of the likelihood of failure is achieved through pruning and canopy reduction or removal if warranted. The canopy reduction reduces the loading effect of wind to reduce the likelihood of a toppling event. When the risk cannot be mitigated through pruning, whole tree removals are considered. Since the Themed Block was established for Easton Drive, no requests to change the Themed designation have been received by City staff. ni-qr_i i_qcinN 2 Consideration of Themed Block Revision for 1600-1700 Block of Easton Drive June 1, 2023 The significant storms of winter 2023 saw many large tree failures. One large Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree failed, and six others showed significant movement in the soil, indicating an elevated risk for potential failure. Out of an abundance of caution, City staff recommended the evacuation of homes near trees with the perceived elevated risk. As staff met with Easton Drive residents, some expressed concern about living amongst these tall trees. They shared that they did not want the Lemon Scented Gum tree to be the replacement tree. A resident circulated a letter that some residents signed requesting the Beautification Commission's consideration of a shorter, native species that are more sustainable and requires less maintenance. Residents circulated the required petition and received the signatures of 80% of the property owners of the 1600 block of Easton Drive (Exhibit F). The 1700 block of Easton Drive received 88.8% of property owners (Exhibit G). Petitions were also sought from 1500, 1800, 1900, and 2000 blocks of Easton Drive. Only the 1600 - 1700 blocks met the 75% threshold for Themed Block modification. Overall, the sentiment of the property owners is to remove Lemon Scented Gum as the Themed species on all of the Themed Blocks at a rate of 61.5% to modify to a native species, with 32 of 52 property owners signing the petition letter (Exhibits H). Exhibit I shows which property owners signed the petition, noted in yellow. The properties noted in red either didn't sign the petition or could not be verified as the property owner based on the County property records search. The Commission has several options to consider below. However, though the petition only met the threshold to consider changing the Theme on the 1600 - 1700 blocks, the entirety of the 1500 - 2000 block corridor should be reviewed due to the grove's heritage designation, reforestation plan for the area, and petition statement. In addition, the Commission should consider how possible species will interact with overhead conductors on the south side of Easton Drive. Reject the Petition By rejecting the petition, the Lemon Scented Gum will remain the Themed Block species for the 1600-1700 blocks of Easton Drive. The basis for this decision could include that significant community outreach occurred in 2007. Industry experts and staff invested considerable time in developing a long-range reforestation plan for Easton Drive to create a sustainable grove that embraced the history and uniqueness of Easton Drive for generations to enjoy. By selecting the Lemon Scented Gum, it addressed the community concerns regarding debris produced and the height of mature trees. Modify the Existing Long -Range Reforestation Plan for the 1600 - 1700 Blocks of Easton Drive Recognizing a shift in neighborhood demographics and desires, the Commission could change the existing Themed of Lemon -Scented Gum. The options include: 1. The Commission could select a new Themed species on the 1600 - 1700 blocks of Easton Drive. 2. The Commission could include additional tree options on an Easton Drive -specific Street Tree list, allowing property owners or the City Arborist to select replacement trees from a narrow list. This option may or may not include the Lemon Scented Gum. 3 Consideration of Themed Block Revision for 1600-1700 Block of Easton Drive June 1, 2023 Because the planter strips on this part of Easton Drive were kept very wide to accommodate the large Eucalyptus trees, large trees should be considered due to a lessened likelihood of infrastructure conflict and the greater benefits large trees provide to the community. Examples of some potential tree species to consider are below.

Request Additional Information To help in the decision -making process, the Commission could require additional information. If this is the case, the Commission can table the item until the additional information is ready for the Commission's review at a future regularly scheduled Commission meeting date. EXHIBITS A.

BiFRLINGAME STAFF REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Date: September 5, 2023 AGENDA ITEM NO: 12d MEETING DATE: September 5, 2023 From: Brad McCulley, City Librarian — (650) 558-7401 Margaret Glomstad, Parks and Recreation Director — (650) 558-7307 Subject Adoption of a Resolution Accepting the Burlingame Age -Friendly Action Plan RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution accepting the Burlingame Age -Friendly Action Plan. BACKGROUND By 2030, 25 percent of the County's population will be 65 years or older. In 2005, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed the concept of Global Age -Friendly Cities to help cities implement policies and services to help older adults live healthy and vibrant lives as they age. According to the WHO, population, aging, and urbanization are major forces that shape the 21 st century. The WHO identified eight key domains to create age -friendly communities: • Housing • Transportation • Social participation • Respect and social inclusion • Civic participation and employment • Communication and information • Community support and health services • Outdoor spaces • Buildings In July 2018, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County to join the WHO's Age -Friendly Global Network and established the San Mateo County Age -Friendly Initiative. In addition, the Board authorized and selected the Center for Age -Friendly Excellence (CAFE) at the Los Altos Community Foundation to assist with this effort. In February 2021, the Burlingame City Council adopted Resolution No. 012-2021, authorizing the City to participate in the Age -Friendly Communities Network. Former Mayor O'Brien and then-Councilmember Colson formed a Task 1 Adoption of a Resolution Accepting the Burlingame Age -Friendly Action Plan September 5, 2023 Force of key local stakeholders from various organizations and commissions who collaborated to engage the community. The Task Force members were: Andrea Pappajohn — Parks and Recreation Commission Cheryl Fama — Peninsula Health Care District Eric Hanson — The Villages Kathy Uhl — Commission on Aging Mike Nagler — Library Board of Trustees Sharon Williams Stephanie Lee — Burlingame Senior Advisory Council Terri Boesch — CALL Primrose Brad McCulley — City Librarian Margaret Glomstad — Parks and Recreation Director The Task Force assessed Burlingame's baseline "age -friendliness" in the above -mentioned domains through a series of focus group sessions. The Task Force reviewed the focus group feedback and completed the Age -Friendly application, which required a letter of intent signed by the Mayor. The application was submitted and accepted in September 2021. With the submission of the application, the City committed to developing a three-year Action Plan within two years of the application acceptance and providing annual progress reports to AARP regarding implementation of the Action Plan. DISCUSSION To develop the Action Plan, the City worked with AARP to develop and send out a city-wide survey to gather input about the needs of Burlingame's older adult community. The survey was sent out in April 2022 and concluded in October 2022. The timeframe for the survey was extended twice in order to ensure robust participation. The results led to the development of the Burlingame Age -Friendly Action Plan. The results are noted in the Action Plan, which also includes an overview of the City, the demographic profile of the residents, the process to develop the Action Plan, and current Age -Friendly efforts. The attached Action Plan aims to create goals that promote opportunities for older adults to be engaged in each age -friendly domain. The Action Plan addresses some of the current barriers older adults face in the community. It takes steps toward decreasing these barriers so that there is equitable access for all ages to enjoy a high quality of life in Burlingame. The Action Plan is organized by the eight domains, with a brief overview of some survey findings or statements of need, followed by a goal and strategies to reach the goal. The Action Plan is an implementation strategy that summarizes the goals and identifies the potential community partners, approximate funding required, and metrics staff will use to identify success and a timeline. The Action Plan is a living document, with some action items to be completed over the next two or three years. It also includes items considering the future as new growth, technology, or other factors change. Though focused on older adults, the Action Plan will make Burlingame a better place to live for all residents, no matter their age. 2 Adoption of a Resolution Accepting the Burlingame Age -Friendly Action Plan September 5, 2023 FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact on the City is difficult to quantify. The costs vary depending on the strategies and the possible funding sources. Some strategies may not be achieved, and some will be accomplished as part of the annual or Capital Improvement Project budgets. Exhibits: • Resolution • Action Plan 3 RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME ACCEPTING THE BURLINGAME AGE -FRIENDLY ACTION WHEREAS, by 2030, 25 percent of the County's population will be 65 years or older, and in July 2018, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County to join the WHO's Age -Friendly Global Network and established the San Mateo County Age -Friendly Initiative; and WHEREAS, in February 2021, the Burlingame City Council adopted Resolution No. 012- 2021, authorizing the City to participate in the Age -Friendly Communities Network, and former Mayor O'Brien and then-Councilmember Colson formed a Task Force of key local stakeholders from various organizations and commissions who collaborated to engage the community; and WHEREAS, the City worked with AARP to develop and send out a city-wide survey to gather input about the needs of Burlingame's older adult community; and WHEREAS, the results lead to the development of the Age -Friendly Action Plan, which includes goals that promote opportunities for older adults to be engaged in each of the eight age - friendly domains; and WHEREAS, the Action Plan is a living document that includes items that consider the future as new growth, technology, or other factors change in Burlingame; and WHEREAS, though focused on older adults, the Action Plan will make Burlingame a better place for all residents, regardless of age. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: 1. The City Council approves the Burlingame Age -Friendly Action Plan, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Michael Brownrigg, Mayor I, Meaghan Hassel -Shearer, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was introduced at a regular meeting of the Burlingame City Council held on the 5th day of September, 2023, and was adopted thereafter by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers: NOES: Councilmembers: ABSENT: Councilmembers: Meaghan Hassel -Shearer, City Clerk BURLINGAME AGE -FRIENDLY 2024-2027 ACTION PLAN f �k 10 BURLINGAME Age -Friendly City CITY OF Executive Summary In August 2021, the World Health Organization and AARP formally designated the City of Burlingame an Age -Friendly City. This designation marked the beginning steps in Burlingame's Age -Friendly journey. The City of Burlingame Iprides itself on strategic and smart planning. As a demonstration of our commitment to being a part of the Age -Friendly network, we are developing an action plan that encompasses our values and vision and provides for sustainable growth. While we recognize that an Age -Friendly City is truly a city for all ages, we hope that by implementing this action plan, we will build a stronger community and keep older adults socially engaged, informed, and healthy. Below are the 11 goals developed for this first three-year action plan. Although the Recreation Division and Library Department have been primarily responsible for this project thus far, the City will engage with other City partners to expand our reach as we make progress toward these goals, which are: 1. Create a safe, accessible city for all ages. 2. Improve mobility options for older adults. 3. Provide a continuum of services and programs that support older adults' ability to age in place. 4. Provide an avenue for input on future 55+ housing policies and projects. 5. Increase the variety of opportunities and programs that meet the diverse needs and culture of our community. 6. Decrease the stigma of aging and ensure that older adults remain engaged in the community. 7. Promote and increase opportunities that utilize the contributions and skills of older adults in impactful ways in the community. 8.

Development of Action Plan Page 36 3 1 P a g e Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Overview of Age -Friendly Cities Purpose of Age -Friendly Cities The concept of Age -Friendly cities was initiated from a 2007 study that the World Health Organization (WHO) developed to address two major global trends — rapid aging and increasing urbanization. From this study, WHO identified eight domains at the core of age -friendly cities and then developed a checklist that cities could use to assess their "age -friendliness." By 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. At this time the share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million.

For example, if you don't have adequate transportation, that can affect social participation opportunities. Likewise, if there is not adequate communication, that can impact someone's social inclusion in the community. WHO developed a process where cities and counties could apply to be part of the WHO network of age -friendly cities and take steps towards enabling people of all ages and abilities to be part of their community (WHO, 2007). Once cities submit their initial application, they have two years to develop a three-year action plan for WHO and then continually evaluate and adjust progress. Alongside WHO, AARP also supports this work through its network of Age -Friendly Communities. AARP assists cities by facilitating their enrollment in the WHO and AARP network and helps communities navigate through the assessment and implementation process (AARP, 2014). When cities or counties apply for an age -friendly designation, they are making the "commitment to actively work toward making their city or county a great place to live for people of all ages" (AARP Livable Communities). AARP provides a four -step framework for a five-year, age -friendly program cycle: (1) City enters a network, (2) Planning phase (years 1-2) — assessments/action plan, (3) Implementation and evaluation (years 3-5), and (4) Continuous improvement (year 5+). The purpose of the Age -Friendly Burlingame Plan is to: ❖ Support quality of life for the aging population. ❖ Improve community coordination to support livability at later stages of life. ❖ Increase communications among City departments for projects that affect the 55+ population. ❖ Provide a framework for implementing Age -Friendly initiatives. Art -inn Plan This Plan aims to create goals that promote opportunities for older adults to be engaged in each age -friendly domain. The - Plan addresses some of the current barriers older adults face in the community and takes steps toward decreasing these barriers i5 so that there is equitable access for all ages to enjoy a high quality of life in Burlingame. The action plan is broken down into eight domains, with a brief overview of some survey findings orfi� ) statements of need, followed by a goal and then strategies to take to reach the goal. This Plan is an implementation strategy that summarizes the goals and identifies the potential-0, 47J `" �13 community partners, approximate funding required, and metrics staff will use to identify success and a timeline. Information taken from the community survey done in our first phase of work is incorporated further into this Plan. 7 1 P a g e Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Domain 1: Outdoor Spaces and Buildings Survey Results Many of Burlingame's outdoor spaces and buildings received high ratings in the community survey. The survey and focus groups found that while people enjoy having parks and community buildings in their area, access could be improved by creating safer walking paths and encouraging business development that is responsive to the needs of older customers. • 80% felt it was either very important or extremely important to have well -maintained and safe parks within walking distance of their home. . 95% indicated sidewalks that are safe and accessible are important priorities for them. • 87% responded that it was very important or extremely important to have well -maintained public buildings and facilities that are accessible.

This shows the importance of developing alternative options to promote mobility that is convenient and safe for older adults to use. According to the 2020 census, almost 2,500 residents in Burlingame are over 75 years old, an age at which drivers are less likely to have a license or have decreased the amount they drive. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 2017.) In the area of transportation, the survey showed the following: . 93% of those surveyed drove themselves — followed by walking, using taxis or Uber/Lyft, biking, accessing public transit, and then asking others to drive them. • 83% felt it was very important or extremely important to have affordable, accessible, and convenient transportation along with special transportation services for those with disabilities. • 89% noted it was either very important or extremely important to have safe and reliable public transportation, including safe stops and waiting areas. • Over 90% felt the following were very important or extremely important: well -maintained streets, easy - to -read traffic signs, enforced speed limits, well -lit streets, and safe intersections. Goal: To Improve Mobility Options for Older Adults Strategies 1. Develop a transportation guide for older adults and encourage the use of available transit options.

The study found that two-thirds of the volunteers reported a decrease in their sense of isolation along with fewer symptoms of depression (Hayes 2016). When asked about civic engagement and employment, the surveys and focus groups highlighted the following: • More than 70% felt it was very important or extremely important to have: a range of volunteer activities to choose from that are easy to find, adequate volunteer training, and the opportunity to participate in decision -making bodies. • Of the 41% that were still employed in some manner, 58% said it was very likely or extremely likely that they would continue to work for as long as possible. Having a range of flexible job opportunities and job training opportunities was very important or extremely important to 58% of the respondents. Goal: To Promote and Increase Opportunities that Utilize the Contributions and Skills of Older Adults in Impactful Ways in the Community. Strategies 1. Promote job opportunities and provide employment training workshops for older adults. Provide dedicated space at the older adult lounge for work and volunteer opportunities.

One of the issues identified in the General Plan was how to increase the participation of diverse residents, such as those for whom English is a second language or those who are foreign -born. In the area of communication and information, the following highlights were identified. • 92% turned to the internet for resources for older adults, and 88% used resources from senior centers. • More than 90% felt it was either somewhat important, very important, or extremely important to have the following: access to community information in one central source, clearly displayed printed community information in large lettering, free access to computers and the internet in public places, and community information that is delivered in person to those who may not be able to leave their home. • 82% would prefer community information available in several different languages. Goal: Improve Communication Strategies that will Increase the Dissemination of Information to More Residents. Strategies 1. Make sure printed information is more accessible.

Recently, AARP released findings from a national survey of adults 45 and older regarding loneliness and social connections. Some of their key findings revealed that among adults age 45 and older, 1 in 3 report being lonely. Older adults with lower incomes are at greater risk (AARP Research, 2018). Along with increasing social connections, improving the public image of aging is important. A recent New York Times article pointed out that older people who have a positive view of aging are more likely to recover from a disability than those who believe negative aging stereotypes (Span, 2019). Goal: To Decrease the Stigma of Aging and Ensure that Older Adults Remain Engaged in the Community. Strategies 1. Increase intergenerational opportunities.

Many of the community surveys' respondents felt that having access to doctors who listened, who were respectful, and who provided affordable care was important. When it comes to community support and health services, the survey also found the following: • In general, 93% rated their health as either good, very good, or excellent when compared to peers their age, and 98% felt that it was important to remain physically active for as long as possible. • 88% indicated that they exercise more than once a week, with 35% exercising every day. • 80% or more felt that it was very important or extremely important to have the following: conveniently located health and social services, information easily available on health and supportive services, well - trained and affordable home health providers, affordable assisted living facilities, and respectful and helpful hospital or clinic staff. 'fill' Health Risks of Loneliness A 2021 study of U.S. adults found that 41% of those over age 66 report feeling lonely, with higher rates among underrepresented racial groups and those with lower income. ("The Loneliness Epidemic Persists," The Cigna Group, 2021.) Loneliness is correlated with higher health risks. Recent studies found that: • Social isolation significantly increased a person's risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.1 • Social isolation was associated with about a 50% increased risk of dementia 1 • Poor social relationships (characterized by social isolation or loneliness) was associated with a 29% increased risk of heart disease and a 32% increased risk of stroke.) • Loneliness was associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. • Loneliness among heart failure patients was associated with nearly 4 times increased risk of death, 68% increased risk of hospitalization, and 57% increased risk of emergency department visits.1 CDC https.11www.cdc.gov/aging/publications/features/lonely-older- adults.html 181Page Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Goal: To Provide a Continuum of Services and Programs that Support Older Adults' Ability to Age in Place Without Becoming Isolated.

In the City of Burlingame, the Community Development Department is currently updating the City's Housing Element to identify some of the concerns that were mentioned in our survey and focus groups — preservation of naturally affordable housing units, creation of new affordable housing, and understanding the age -friendly features of housing. Other items of interest that the survey and focus groups revealed are: • 90% felt it was very important or extremely important to have home repair contractors who are trustworthy, do quality work, and are affordable, and 80% noted it was very important to have these targeted to lower -income residents. Goal: To Provide Resources that Allow Aging in Place and a Means to Provide Input on Future Housing Policies and Projects. Strategies 1. Increase awareness of available housing resources.

By the turn of the century, the area featured Census Pop: °Ia± many estates owned by San Francisco families drawn by the close proximity to that city and who looked to escape San Francisco's fog -bound summers. The young 1910 1;565 — City, incorporated in 1908, also had more compact neighborhoods of modest 1920 4;107 162.45% bungalows where a thriving working class lived to create an economically diverse 1930 13,270 223.1% community. 1940 15.940 20.1% During the early twentieth century, Burlingame developed as a quintessential commuter suburb, with neighborhoods organized along compact grids of tree - lined streets. Most of Burlingame's housing stock was developed between the 1910s and 1960s. In the latter half of the 20th century, growth was spurred by proximity to San Francisco International Airport, with business and industry developing along the Bayfront and residential neighborhoods developing in the hills of the Mills Estate. Since the completion of the Mills Estate neighborhoods in the 1960s, the City's population growth has been relatively modest. New development over the decades between 1960 and the 1990s consisted largely of commercial development or relatively small-scale residential infill projects. 1950 19.886 24.81% 1960 24,036 20.9% 1970 27,320 13.7% 1980 26.173 —42% 1990 26.801 2.4% 2000 23:158 5.1 % 2010 28.806 2.3% 2020 31.386 9.0% U.S. Decennial censusi'61 The City of Burlingame is known for its high residential quality of life and is often referred to as the City of Trees. Industrial growth was spurred in the 1960s and 1970s by its proximity to the San Francisco International Airport. The City of Burlingame has many beautiful hotels along ^ the San Francisco Bayfront and is a significant vacation spot for people wishing Furli, qzn,? to visit the San Francisco Bay Area. It is an American suburban city of approximately 31,106 people and is 6 square miles. It is located on the San Francisco Peninsula, next to San Mateo to the south, Hillsborough to the west, and Millbrae to the north in San Mateo County, California. Burlingame has a significant shoreline on San Francisco Bay. The City is named after Anson Burlingame, who was an attorney and a diplomat. Beyond the indigenous populations of the Ramaytush Ohlone and Muwekma Ohlone, who were the original inhabitants, Burlingame was settled by San Franciscans in the late 19t" and early 20' centuries looking for a better climate. 23 1 Page Age -Friendly Burlingame —A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN In 2019, the City of Burlingame updated its General Plan. The Plan articulates the shared community vision for preservation and change in our community. This General Plan is a long-range policy document that guides decision -making and establishes the "ground rules" for the design and development of new projects, conservation of resources, economic development, mobility and infrastructure improvements, expansion of public services, and community amenities. As the blueprint for our future, this General Plan directs how Burlingame will look and how residents, business owners, and visitors will experience Burlingame today and in the future. This Plan defines our future and intends to provide direction through 2040. However, dramatic regional economic growth — largely driven by Silicon Valley businesses — and the resultant impacts on the housing market, which made the Bay Area among the most expensive markets in the U.S., led City leaders to engage the entire community in a conversation about Burlingame's future. How should the City plan to accommodate housing for people of all incomes and age levels so that the City could maintain its diverse demographics? How might business and retail districts be reimagined to respond to evolving business and shopping practices and people's leisure preferences? How will we get around locally and regionally with the rapid emergence of new transport modes? How might climate change affect Bayfront properties and our use of natural resources? As the population of Burlingame and the percentage of older residents increases, these questions become more important. While a General Plan can cover various topics based on a community's specific needs, each one is required by State law to address these seven topics or elements: Land Use, Circulation/Transportation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, and Safety. These seven elements must establish policy direction relating to: 1. The use and development of properties citywide 2. Accommodation of all modes of transportation 3. The provision of parks and other open spaces to meet community needs 4. The types of housing available in the community 5. The use and protection of natural resources 6. The provision of public safety services and protection against natural and human -caused hazards (including noise) in the City 241Page Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Appendix 6 City Government The City of Burlingame has five Council members elected by their respective district voters and operates under the City Council -City Manager form of government. Under this form, power is concentrated in the elected City Council, which hires a professional administrator (the City Manager) to implement its policies. The City Council is responsible for setting policy and the overall direction of City operations. The Council is ultimately accountable to the citizens for managing City services. The City Manager is directly responsible to the Council for the management of City departments and is responsible for preparing the budget, directing day-to-day operations, hiring and firing personnel, and serving as the Council's chief policy advisor. Department Heads, in turn, are directly responsible to the City Manager for managing their departments. The City of Burlingame stands for: COMMUNITY SERVICI that is responsible to and meets the needs of the public: o Being dedicated to the community we serve o Involving and understanding our community o Anticipating and adapting to the changing needs of our citizens 25 Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN AN ETHICAL ORGANIZATION that interacts with the public and each other in an honest and professional manner: o Treating people with respect and dignity o Taking responsibility for our decisions, statements and actions to the organization and community o Dealing with differences and conflicts in a professional, respectful and authentic fashion ONE ORGANIZATION that fosters positive relationships and teamwork: o Being part of the solution o Creating and maintaining constructive relationships while respecting individual contributions o Focusing on the issues and needs of the organization and community o Encouraging behavior that builds confidence and self-esteem o Emphasizing self -initiative, constant improvement, and employee involvement 261 Page Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Appendix C Demographic Profile of Burlingame Residents AGE: The age distribution of Burlingame residents suggests a demographic shift toward more families with children and, like shifting demographics nationwide, a higher percentage of older adult residents. The increase in families can be explained by the high quality of local schools and home sizes that can accommodate more people. The aging population reflects the fact that people are living longer and prefer, when they can, to stay in Burlingame during their retirement years.

These older populations will continue to increase as residents age in place and while younger populations steadily decrease in number. The median age of all Burlingame residents is 41 years, with 77% of the population over the age of 18. 27% of our population are older adults, and of those 5% are 55-59, 6.8% are 60-64, 7.8% are 65 to 74 years, 4.8% are 75 to 84 years, and 2.4% are 85 years and over. RACE: Burlingame's population is 63% White, 32% Asian, and 12% Hispanic (ACS, 2021 Estimates). 271Page Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN White (Non -Hispanic) White 0 Asian 0 Multiracial 0 Orher Asian (Non -Hispanic) ial (Non -Hispanic)] Black Dr African American (Non - Hispanic) . alrr: � wv.

LANGUAGES: Among Burlingame's residents, 65.52% of Burlingame residents speak only English, while 34.48% speak other languages. The non-English languages spoken by the largest group are Asian and Pacific Island languages, which are spoken by 15.11% of the population. Approximately 40% of all Burlingame residents speak a language other than English. However, this number drops to 30% for the 65 and older population, suggesting that younger families are more racially diverse than has historically been the case. (U.S. Census 2020 ACS 5-Year Survey) 281Page Age -Friendly Burlingame —A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Appendix D Burlingame's Age -Friendly Process City Councilmembers and staff utilized the following four assessments to provide data and input: 1. Meetings with representatives from community stakeholders 2. Focus groups conducted throughout the city 3. Community survey of older adults 4. Department overviews interviews 5. Review of the City's Livability Index The following sections provide an overview of these efforts and a summary of the findings from each area. Additionally, a copy of this report, the final report from the community survey, and updates on the status of Age - Friendly Burlingame will be posted to the Age -Friendly Burlingame website at www.burlingame.org/agefriendlycity. General Highlights of the Community Survey Results The community survey for Burlingame was done in the summer/fall of 2022. The survey was available in paper format at the Community Center and the Library and in electronic format on Burlingame's website and sent out through the City of Burlingame electronic newsletter. The survey was based on AARP's Livable Community Survey, meant to capture feedback in regard to the eight domains of livability (AARP Community Survey, 2022). The survey included 55 questions, with 328 community responses collected from the survey. As the survey was only printed in English, the survey results are not entirely reflective of the community. Burlingame's population is 63% White, 32% Asian, and 12% Hispanic (ACS, 2021 Estimates). 65.52% of Burlingame residents speak only English, while 34.48% speak other languages. The non-English languages spoken by the largest groups are Asian and Pacific Island languages, which are spoken by 15.11% of the population (U.S. Census 2020 ACS 5-Year Survey). In future surveys, the recommendation would be to have the survey printed in languages other than English to be more inclusive and broaden the results. Some general findings from the community survey are presented below, with a more in-depth review of the community survey covered in the analysis of each domain later in this report. Overall, 87% of the people that responded to the survey felt that their city was a good or better place to live as they age, and 92% responded that it is either very important or extremely important to live independently in their home as they age. While more than one-half of the people have lived in Burlingame for more than 25 years, the same number said it was either somewhat likely, very likely, or extremely likely that they would move to a different home outside 29a g c Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN of their city. The following factors contributed to the reasons people might move: wanting a smaller size home; expense of home and maintenance; needing a home that will help them live independently; safety concerns; an area with better health care facilities; closer to family; different climate; area with lower cost of living better social opportunities; and more access to public transportation. Transportation and housing were two of the higher - ranked concerns. Transportation issues included the walkability of the city and the concern of having affordable and reliable transportation options for when older adults can no longer drive themselves. When it comes to housing, affordability was one of the key concerns but also identified was the need for resources that allow homeowners to age in place, and people who own homes to stay in them for as long as they can. Focus Groups Findings Focus group meetings were completed by CAFE Older adult Research Associates between the dates of April 29, 2021, and June 22, 2021. The meetings were a combination of group Zoom meetings and one-on-one telephone calls. There were six distinct focus group areas including the Task Force committee, LatinX 55+, Economically Vulnerable Adults 55+, Asian Adults 55+, Age 55-75 Cohort, and Age 76+ Cohort. The key findings from focus group members included: 1. Outdoor Space and Buildings o More places to meet up o More public restrooms 2. Transportation and Mobility o Transportation is key for older adults o More frequency and additional pickup locations o Sidewalks can have trip hazards 3. Civic Participation and Employment o More volunteering opportunities o More training to stay up to date on evolving technologies 4. Communication and Information o Printed materials and in -person (face-to-face) information is preferred to online o Having to use the internet to sign up is challenging for many older adults 30 Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN 5. Respect and Social Inclusion o More intergenerational programming/opportunities o Most feel respected in public but not always on Nextdoor o Increase volunteer opportunities 6. Social Participation o Community programs and activities materials need to be in multiple languages. 7. Health Services/ Community Support o Where to find services can be challenging o More information about offered services and in multiple languages 8. Housing o More affordable housing o Help to find reliable and honest contractors/handymen o Help with the paperwork to receive housing support Burlingame's Livability Index Another way to understand the needs of older adults in Burlingame is to utilize the AARP Livability Index. The Livability Index is a signature initiative of the Public Policy Institute to measure the quality of life in American communities across multiple dimensions. The Livability Index allows users to compare communities, adjust scores based on personal preferences, and learn how to take action to make their own communities more livable. (AARP Livability Index, 2022) source: https:Hlivabilityindex.aarp.org/ 60 100 Overall Livability Score 0 The overall livability index score for Burlingame, California is 60.

This assessment was very positive in that overall, most of the City's Departments are taking steps to serve a community of all ages. Office of the City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk: The City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk have coordinated services to assist older adults in participating in everything from online meetings to voting by conducting extensive outreach through social media, our newsletters, website, and live information booths around town and at various events. Additional outreach has included work on sustainability goals, district elections, voter engagement, and even helping pair pets in need with older adults seeking a companion. We are committed to live -person interaction both in person and on the phone, as we know many older adults prefer these forms of communication. We have even recently recognized many of our older adults in proclamations from the City Council for their exemplary community service, business activities, and military service in Burlingame. Community Development Department: Burlingame began its Envision Burlingame community outreach in 2015, which culminated in a new 2019 General Plan that, along with our most recent Housing Element, included several policies to facilitate affordable housing. In addition, approximately one-third of the units in the new Village at Burlingame will be available to low-income older adults. We have also been working actively with the Peninsula Health Care District regarding their new Peninsula Wellness Community, which is slated to include an additional 377 units of older adult housing, of which over 45% is reserved for lower -income older adults. We have also seen an increase in Accessory Dwelling Units and have worked to facilitate planning and permitting as these units are often used to house extended family, including grandparents and other older adults who may no longer want the responsibility of a large home but prefer to remain near family. Finally, as residents seek to age in place, our Building Division staff can provide information on accessible home modifications that create a safer environment. Finance: The Finance Department is responsible for planning the City budget, managing contracts and bids, and sending utility bills. This Department has a high number of calls or walk-in visits from older adults in the community. This Department is aware of the services and resources they can provide to older adults and others who may have difficulty paying their bills. (Finance, 2022). Human Resources: This Department manages the recruitment of employees, supports employee engagement and wellness programs, and provides training and development of employees. In regards to age -friendly practices, while Human Resources provides services for all ages, this Department works with San Mateo County to provide employee training opportunities on working within a multi -generational workplace. (Human Resources, 2022). 33 Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Parks & Recreation: Burlingame Parks and Recreation love their older adults. On the second floor of the new Community Center, the City has a space dedicated for our SS+ community (Grand Oak Lounge.) The lounge is open seven days a week for older adults to drop in and read a book, do a puzzle, make a cup of coffee, play various games, and visit with friends. Throughout the year, the Department has special events for older adults, such as our Valentine's Dance, Mahjong Social, and Jingle Jam. The Older adult Advisory Committee (SAC) collaborates with the Parks and Recreation Department staff to increase the offerings to the SS+ community. During the SAC bimonthly meetings, the committee members discuss ways to support older adults and get recommendations on activities, events, and field trips to offer. The Department also distributes the "Senior Gazette," a bimonthly newsletter with information about recreational activities, health and wellness programs, lifelong learning, trips and tours, and special events. Some of the most popular happenings include mahjong, Friday matinees, trips, educational seminars, AARP foundation tax aid, and tech sessions. Burlingame Parks and Recreation is committed to growing older adult programming and learning new ways to enhance community members' quality of life. Police Department: Public Works: Fri The role of a Burlingame Police Officer inherently involves community engagement, and they are active in providing various services to all community members. Some of the services and training they offer for adults include crime prevention strategies, workplace safety, safety for older adults, or any other topic of interest. Officers also support community -wide services offered through the Community Center and other community organizations. (Police Dept- Matteucci, 2022). Our Public Works Department has been focused on creating a user-friendly built environment, including sidewalk and ADA repair, increasing pedestrian safety, and enhancing the overall walkability of our downtown and neighborhood areas. Additionally, as part of the City's Bike/Pedestrian Master Plan, the Department has identified priorities for pedestrian improvements and has launched several projects to upgrade pedestrian facilities, including crosswalks, traffic calming, and signage improvements. They have implemented traffic calming measures in our neighborhoods and have successfully obtained grant funding for various safety improvements, including a future El Camino Real renovation from CalTrans and progress on the Broadway Grade Separation. The new Broadway Grade Separation Project will include an upgraded train station facility and several mobility improvements, including east -west pedestrian/bicycle connections. In addition, our team always responds to older adult requests and assistance with sewer issues, flooding, trees, and other emergency needs. Our Transportation, Safety and Parking Commission also has older adult representation and reviews all 34 Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN projects through the lens of multiple user groups, including older adults. Public Works also holds numerous public outreach sessions and will always try to provide adaptation for older adults when needed. The Public Library: The Library sees close to 1,000 visitors a day and provides a range of services and events for patrons of all ages. For many older adults, it is a daily destination and is considered a "third place" that is both welcoming and vital to their well-being and information lk gathering process. Providing computers, WiFi, and technology classes for . . older patrons living in a world of "digital immigrants" is one of many core functions library staff provide. Researching and communicating support i y resources on a variety of subjects and needs is another. Staff also provide M `•�•�• much -needed outreach to retirement facilities, homebound patrons, and those with temporary medical issues. Outreach can come in the form of 19 books, magazines, and other materials but also conversations and book L� U ` discussions. The Library actively engages, recruits, and processes hundreds 04, ._.� of volunteers of all ages yearly, all of whom play a vital role in Library support and civic engagement. (Burlingame Library, 2022) 35 1 Page Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN Development of Action Plan This action plan was developed in response to the information obtained in the aforementioned assessments. Assessments were done by (Center for Age -Friendly Excellence), and there was no additional funding other than staff time used to develop the Plan. Staff utilized tools from AARP's Age -Friendly Resource Guide, Action Plan Template, WHO checklist of essential features of Age -Friendly Cities, and its publication, Global Age -friendly Cities: A Guide. While this Plan involves all City Departments, it will be managed by the staff. Library and Parks and Recreation staff will support some of the action items, but the management and tracking of the Plan will be done by periodic report -outs to the City Council. The active involvement of older adults has been a priority: most of the feedback utilized in the action plan came from older adults in the community, and the Plan includes an ongoing Age -Friendly Advisory Group, which will help refine the action plan, implement action items, and track progress. The action plan will be shared for review with the Senior Advisory Committee as well as with the City's Parks and Recreation Commission. The City of Burlingame wishes to acknowledge and thank the many older adults in the community that participated in the focus groups and surveying. We also want to show appreciation for the Burlingame staff and the members of the Burlingame Age -Friendly Task Force who were instrumental in providing input and guidance in creating this plan: Donna Colson — Council Member Ann Keighran — Council Member Terri Boesch — CALL Primrose Cheryl Fama — Peninsula Health Care District Eric Hanson — Mid -Peninsula Village Stephanie Lee —Senior Advisory Committee Mike Nagler — Library Board of Trustees Andrea Pappajohn — Parks and Recreation Commission Kathy Uhl — San Mateo County Commission on Aging Sharon Williams — Community Member Margaret Glomstad — Parks and Recreation Director Brad McCulley — City Librarian 361 Page Age -Friendly Burlingame — A THREE-YEAR ACTION PLAN
