A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF BURLINGAME APPROVING THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION ON
THE 1990-1995 HOUSING ELEMENT.
WHEREAS, Code Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that there be
environmental review of elements added to General Plans;
WHEREAS, an initial study for the 1990-1995 Housing
Element was prepared as required by Code Section 15070 of
the California Environmental Quality Act which documents
that there is no substantial evidence of significant
environmental effects caused by the Housing Element;
WHEREAS, there is no substantial written or oral
evidence proposed or submitted at the public hearing on
the 1990-1995 Housing Element to suggest that there would
be significant environmental effects caused by the
adoption of the Housing Element;
WHEREAS, as noted in the text of the 1990-1995 Housing
Element, the 1990-1995 Housing Element has been found to
be consistent with the adopted policies, land use, and
State mandated elements of the City's entire General Plan;
and
WHEREAS, Burlingame is a mature city with very little
vacant, unimproved land left for residential development,
the Housing element assures that sufficient, properly
zoned land is available to meet the housing needs of all
income levels by including a variety of actions and
programs which encourage high density residential
development on land already zoned for that purpose,
encouraging mixed residential and commercial use within
commercial areas, offering incentives to increase the
affordability of units and legalizing existing non-
conforming units, adding them to the legitimate housing
stock as affordable units.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Burlingame hereby finds that based on the
initial study and written and oral testimony received
there is not substantial evidence that the 1990-1995
Housing Element will have a significant effect on the
environment.
