4. STRE'T XAME CHANCE: Bayshore Hiphwa,_
The Planning Consultant reported that he had received a telephone call
from the San >�!ra:iciseo office of the State Division of Highways to the
effect that there would not be diraotional signs Installed to identify
Bayshore highway so long as the designation "Bayshore" was retained.
In addition, the Planning Consult€nt advised that lie discussed the
possibility of the street extending; into the airport and was advised
that, at this time, the possibilities are very remote.
A communication, dated 11over1her 10, 1960, was read from Keyston & Co. o
1299 Bayshore highway, advising that information: was received from
J.P. Sinclair, Assistant State Highway v'ngineer, that if the City of
Burlingame changes the name of Bayshore Highway "the State Division
of Highways will install two small signs directing traffic to this
street" ...the signs to be placed in the area of the Broadway overpass
on the easterly side of the Freeway. In addition, "the State
Division of Highways does not care whether the city changes the name
of Bayshore Highway or not". If the name is not changed, the signs
will not be installed.
The • communication advised that an effort was made to determine the
policy of the San Francisco Airport regarding opening of the newly
constructed airport service road. It would appear from master plans,
presently available, that this road will connect, at some future date,
with Bayshore Highway,
The communication stated also tl:^t it is the position of the owners
and tenants on the street th=,t the signs proposed to be installed
are not of sufficient importance to offset the resulting; inconvenience
and expense.
In conclusion, the Commission was advised that at such time thz::t the
airport service road should be opened to couiect with Bayshore Highway,
Keyston & Co., would join with other property owners who are agree-
able to changing the name to Airport Boulevard.
In a general discussion, mention was made of the type of sign
to be installed. In view of the complaints which have been received
from practically all the owners, and the business firms located on
the street$ it would appear that such sins are :not csonsidered im-
portant nor essential.
S
Fire Cliief moorby was in attendance and, in reply to questions from
the Chair concerning possible confusion due to the rimilarity In
names of the three streets carrying the designation "Bayshore",,
1 advised that address-s run consecutively from the service road across
Broadway to the Bayshore Highway, whidh aids in Identifying the
correct street. he mentioned also that there are no street addresses
on the Freeway.
A motion was introduced by Commissioner Norberg that the planning
Commission recov,:iend to the City Council thrit the. name of Bayshore
Highway be reta :ned at least until such time that Dos.1tive informa-
tion is avallable on the extension of the street to the all -port
service road. Lotion seconded by Comm isaione_r Hoore and carried on

5. R:J'Z0,N1ING P'.ASTERLY STn HIGHLAND AVENUE - PENINSULA TO RAYS'�AT R

side if Iighland Avenue, between Peninsula Avenue and Bayswater Avenue,
prepored in conntiction with a possible rezoning; of the properties
frog commercial use to third or fourth residential.
File Chief Moort'l s in attendance,, was recognized 'by the Chair. In
re-.)ly to q_uestioils concerning fIre zoning applicable to the properties,
the Chief stated t .at there have been numerous requests to remove in-
dividual lots froti the present Fire Zone No. 1. This, the Fire
Department will nct approve. Ilowever, should all of the properties
he rezoned to apartment use, a lower fire zone classification would
be possible,
The City Attorney suggested that should it be the decision of the
Commission to recommend to the City Council that the properties he
realacsified, a further recommendation to change the fire zone would
be in order, .
There was some discussion concerning the Property of the Scottish
Rite iiodies at the n')rtheast corner of Peninsula Avenue and Highland,
which from information given to the Commission some time ago, would
be de-oloped partly l'or commercial use. Commissioners were in
agreerient that this Xareel would he excluded in considering a re-
zoning action.

at this location was not necessary.
