Burlingame Avenue Parking In Lieu Fees are applicable only to commercial properties within Downtown Burlingame and are collected in those instances where a land‐use requires
additional parking, but the site cannot physically accommodate additional spaces. The fee is based upon a per space, or portion thereof that is not being provided on the property. The
funds are to remain in the City’s Parking fund to help defray the cost of building a City‐owned and operated parking structure. The fees are updated annually based on the February
Consumer Price Index – Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI‐W) for the San Francisco Area.
Commercial Affordable Housing Linkage Fees were adopted by the City Council in 2017 to provide a dedicated source of funding for programs supporting
workforce housing in Burlingame.
Residential Impact Fees were adopted by the City Council in 2019. The fees are to be used to increase, improve, and/or protect the supply of housing affordable to moderate‐, low‐, very
low‐, and extremely low‐income households. An “in‐lieu” option is available where the developer chooses to provide an affordable unit or units on site.
