AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME AMENDING SECTION 13.36.040 OF
CHAPTER 13.36 OF TITLE 13 OF THE BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH A
TWO-HOUR PARKING RESTRICTION ON THE EAST SIDE OF CALIFORNIA DRIVE
BETWEEN CARMELITA AVENUE AND 300 FEET SOUTH OF CARMELITA AVENUE; CEQA
DETERMINATION: EXEMPT PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15378,
15061(b)(3)
WHEREAS, California Drive is an arterial road within Burlingame that primarily serves as
a major north-south corridor within the city; and
WHEREAS, there is a mix of land uses on the segment between Carmelita Avenue and
Oak Grove Avenue, with the west side of the street featuring automotive-related businesses,
offices, a pre-school, and residential housing, while the east side includes only the Caltrain tracks;
and
WHEREAS, to offset the parking loss from the California Drive Complete Streets Project,
the City provided 18 new on-street spaces along the east side of California Drive between
Carmelita Avenue and Sanchez Avenue, where parking did not exist previously; and
WHEREAS, staff also introduced a “no overnight” parking restriction along the east side
of California Drive between Carmelita Avenue and Oak Grove Avenue due to community
feedback indicating that many vehicles remained parked for days and weeks at a time; and
WHEREAS, as a result, the business community requested the City consider two-hour
parking between Carmelita Avenue and Sanchez Avenue as many of the spaces closer to the
businesses along the 1000 block of California Drive are being utilized by long-term parkers, with
limited availability for customers with short-term parking needs; and
WHEREAS, after much deliberation and community feedback to the Traffic, Safety and Parking
Commission (TSPC), the TSPC supported a “hybrid” option where 10 of the 18 parking spaces
between Carmelita Avenue and Sanchez Avenue would be converted to two-hour parking, and
the remaining eight spaces would continue as “daytime” parking. This solution addresses both
the long-term and short-term parking needs of the local businesses.
WHEREAS, in order to implement changes to the parking time restrictions on the east
side of California Drive between Carmelita Avenue and 300 feet from Carmelita Avenue with 10
two-hour parking spaces and eight dedicated for daytime parking, Section 13.36.040 of the BMC
needs to be revised.
NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

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. If any section, subsection, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any
reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion or
sections of the Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Burlingame hereby declares that it
