WHEREAS, on January 24, 2022 and August 22, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted
duly noticed public hearings (environmental scoping and design review study) to review a new
Office/Research and Development campus consisting of a seven-story building, an eight-story building,
and a nine-level parking garage. At that time the Planning Commission requested additional information
and asked the applicant to consider making changes to the project to address their concerns; and
Following consideration of all information contained in the October 24. 2022 staff report to the
Planning Commission regarding the project, all written correspondence, and all public comments
received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission grants approval of the Office/Research and
Development project based on the following findings regarding the project enttflements:
Desion Review Findinqs
That the proposed buildings and parking garage have a contemporary commercial architectural
style, featuring vision glass spandrel with shadowbox, metal panel reveals, precast concrete
spandrel and infill panels, ribbon window walls, horizontal metal sun shades, and perforated
metal mechanical penthouse screens with a non- reflectjve finish will blend with the exrsting
office buildings in the area and will also be compatible with the newer buildings in the
surrounding area, such as those on Anza Boulevard; and that the parking structure will be
enhanced with art installations to incorporate that structure with the rest of the campus;
That the proposed new streetscape improvements and the coordinating plazas on either side of
Malcom Road promote pedestrian activity and create a new open space that can be accessed
and connected with the Bay Trail,
1
That the site is adjacent to four to ten story buildings and therefore would be compatible with the
mass and bulk of buildings in the area and is consistent with the overall heights establtshed in
the General Plan and the Zoning Code, and
That the proposed landscaping and paving on the site, including the tiered seating used to
integrate the grade change from Old Bayshore Highway to Malcolm Road, the raised and paved
walkway between the plazas, the art installations in the plazas, and the proposed 106 new trees
to be planted on site and in the right-of-way along the three frontages will promote the use of the
new outdoor spaces and enhance pedestrian use on this site and in connection with the Bay
Trail located across the street.
Special Permit Findin os (lncre ased Floor Area Ratio with Appro val of Communitv Benefits)
That the proposed floor area ratio for the campus is appropriate sited with frontage on Old
Bayshore Highway because the increased density will integrate with the development
encouraged in the adjacent BFC zoning district and create a reinvigorated commercial district;
That the proposed floor area ratio for the campus is concentrated at the center of the sites and
that there are adequate setbacks to neighboring properties to provide a buffer and ensure
public health, safety, and general welfare; and
Special Permit Findin qs (Buildino Heiqhts)
That the proposed modification to standard heights for the buildings on the campus rs
consistent with an existing building across the street and promote the intent of the Zoning
Code to promote more density for select uses along the Old Bayshore Highway corridor; and
That the proposed heights of the building on the campus are consistent with the goals and
policies of the Burlingame General Plan.
WHEREAS , said matters were heard by the Planning Commission of the City of Burlingame on
, at which time it reviewed and considered the staff report and all other writtenOctober 24 2022
materials and testimony presented at said hearing;
