James, Vice President Area Code: 916 Phone: 920-4427 The site consists of approximately 126,000 SF of barren, low-lying land fill in the western end of Anza Airport Park, adjacent to both Airport Boulevard and a road reserve for a possible future connection to Bayshore Freeway. The project is a five story motel, 46 feet high, with 214 guest rooms. The motel office will be in a separate one story building, containing a gift shop and small coffee shop with 43 seats; an attached canopy will shelter several gasoline pumps,. provided as a convenience,to motel gues:�s. � The motel, off.ices and coffee shop will cover 16% of the site. Approximately 75,000 SF (60� of the site) tvill be paved to provide 214 parking spaces, 39 of which will be for compact cars. The remaining 30,000 SF (24% of the site) will. be planted with trees, lawn and shrubs, and developed with a swimming pool. The southern boundary of the property, adjacent to the Anza area's "inner lagoon", will also be landscaped, and will include a pedesi:rian walk and bicycle path. Separate permits far these improvements will be required. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The proposed project will be located in the Anza Airport Park Subdivision, adjacent to•San Francisco Bay in Burlingame. Until the early 1960's the area was tide and marsh lands. In 1962 and 1963 permits were obtained to fill this property; street patterns and utility systems were laid out with City approval, and work largely completed by 1970. In 1972 the zoning of the area was changed from light industrial to "waterfront commercial"; hotels and motels are a permitted use in this district. The project site is in an area of high seismic activity, although removed from both the San Andreas Fault and the Serra Fault. The natural soils immediately beneath the recent fill consist of highly compressible soft clays with a thickness of about four to five feet. Being close to San Francisco International Airport, the site is subject to 65 CNEL sound levels; this is acceptable for new commercial projects with modest exterior sound attenuation. Air quality in the vicinity is generally good; the site falls within an area which has approximately 15-20 days per year with high oxidant levels (0.10 ppm). Because the site consists of recently compacted fill, none of the animals on the Department of the Interior's "Rare" or "Endangered" species list make use of the property. -2- Present traffic levels on Airport Boulevard (adjacent to the site) are very low at non-peak hours. During peak hours this four lane, central median street still , maintains free flow conditions. All the utility systems in the project area are '. � new and have substantial surplus capacity. - COORDINATION WITK OTHER AGENCIES: The proposed project complies with the terms of the Boundary Settlement and Agreement between the State Lands Commission and Anza Pacific Corporation; this agreement requires that this land be developed in accordance with the City's . "waterfront commercial" district zoning. . � A shoreline permit will be required from the Bay Conservation and �evelopment Commission for landscaping and paving within the 100' shoreline band. The proposed five story moteT will be set�back beyond this 100' band, with the.bulk of the building generally at right angles to the lagoon to further reduce the visual impact from the project. - . � .

Does the project have the potentia7' to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term immpact on the environmenl; is one which occurs in a relaiively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) . c. Does the project have impacts which are . individuaTly .limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those � �impacts on the environment is significant.) d. Does the project have env.ironmental effects � which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? . X X . X. X X X X X X RESPONSES TO IDENTIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: ITEM lb. Earth fill in the amount of 18,000 cubic yards will be imported to bring the site to the elevation of the present curb level. The motel and adjacent office/coffee shop will cover 16% of the 2.89 acre site. ITEM 4a. It is proposed that 24q of the site area shall be developed with landscaping. This will have a very positive effect on what is presently a�barren, compacted earth parking area which is sporadically maintained. ITEM 8. The site consists of 2.9 acres of low lying fill. It is proposed to construct a 214 room five story motel, 43 seat coffee shop, swimming ppol, and paved parking area for 214 cars. ITEM 11. The project will create 30 to 32 basic jobs, which in turn may create 32 to 34 non-basic jobs in the environs. � . �'a � �,:l.r , . ' � -n-� ITEM 12. ITEM 13a. ITEM 13b. ITEM 13d. ITEM 15a. The 30-32 new on-site jobs could result in a modest increase in local housing demand. The project will generate approximately 1800 trip ends per day. Research data indicates that 200 of these trip ends (11% of the average weekday traffic) will occur during the peak traffic period, 4:30 to 5:30 P.M. Table 3(page 13 of the July 28, 1980 Project Assessment prepared by Earth Metrics Incorporated for Days Inn of America) shows that the additional traffic generated by this project, together with present traffic volumes on Airport Boulevard and nearby intersections, will not result in a change in the present "level of service". Traffic flow characteristics are at an acceptable level for urban-areas. A tota7 of 214 parking spaces will be provided on site. See response to Item 13a. Construction of the project will have a short term energy use impact. Long term operation of the motel and restaurant will consume natural gas and electricity.

James, Vice Area Code: 415 Phone: 342-5711 President Area Code: 916 Phone: 920-4427 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The site consists of approximately 126,000 SF of barren, low-lying land fill in the western end of Anza Airport Park, adjacent to both Airport Boulevard and a road reserve for a possible future connection to Bayshore Freeway. The project is a five story motel, 46 feet high, with 214 guest rooms. Tfie motel office will be in a separate one story building, containing a g9ft shop and small coffee shop with 43 seats; an attached canopy will shelter several gasoline pumps, provided as a aonvenience to motel gues�ts. The motel, offices and coffee shop will cover 16% of the site. Ap�roximately 75,000 SF (60% of the site) will be paved to provide 214 parking spaces, 39 of which will be for compact cars. The remaining 30,000 SF (24% of the site) will be planted with trees, lawn and shrubs, and developed with a swimming pool. The southern boundary of the property, adjacent to the Anza area's "inner lagoon", will also be landscaped, and will include a pedestrian walk and bicycle path. Separate permits for these improvements will be required. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The proposed project will be located in the Anza Airport Park Subdivision, adjacent to San Francisco Bay in Burlingame. Until the early 1960's the area was tide and marsh lands. In 1962 and 1963 permits were obtained to fill this property; street patterns and utility.systems were laid out with City approval, and work largely completed by 1970. In 1972 the zoning of the area was changed from light industrial to "waterfront commercial"; hotels and motels are a permitted use in this district. The project site is in an area of high seismic activity, although removed from both the San Andreas Fault and the Serra Fault. The natural soils immediately beneath the recent fill consist of highly compressible soft clays with a thickness of about zero to three feet. Being close to San Francisco International Airport, the site is subject to 65 CNEL sound levels; this is.acceptable for new commercial projects with modest exterior sound attenuation. Air quality in the vicinity is generally good; the site falls within an area which has approximately 15-20 days per year with high oxidan.t levels (0.10 ppm). Because the site consists of recently compacted fill, none of the animals on the Department.of the Interior's "Rare" or "Endangered" species list make use of the property. -2- Present traffic levels on Airport Boulevard (adjacent to the site) are very low at non-peak hours. During peak hours this four lane, cen.tral median street still maintains free flow conditions. AT1 the utility systems in the project area are new and have substantial surplus capacity. COORDINATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES: The proposed project com�lies with the terms of the Boundary Settlement and Agreement between the State Lands Commission and Anza Pacific Corporation; this agreement requires that this land be developed in accordance with the City's "waterfront commercial" district zoning. A shoreline permit will be required from the Bay Conservation and aevelopment Commission for landscaping and paving within the 100' shoreline band. The proposed five story motel will be set�back beyond this 100' band, with the,bulk of the building generally at right angles to the lagoon to further reduce the visual impact from the project.

Does the project have the potential to degrade �he quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or.prehistory? X b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term immpact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) X c. Does the project have impacts which are . individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) X d. Does the project have env.ironmental effects - which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly.or indirectly? X RESPONSES TO IDENTIFIED ENVIRONMEN�TAL EFFECTS: ITEM 1b. Earth fill in the amount of 18,000 cubic yards will be imported to bring the site to the elevation of the present curb level. The motel �and adjacent office/coffee shop will cover 16% of the 2.89 acre site: ITEM 4a. It is proposed that 24% of the site area shall be developed with landscaping. This will have a very positive effect on what is presently a barren, compacted earth parking area which is sporadically maintained. ITEM 8. The site consists of 2.9 acres of low lying fill. It is proposed to construct a 214 room five story motel, 43 seat coffee shop, swimming ppol, and paved parking area for 214 cars. ITEM 11. The project will create 30 to 32 basic jobs, which in turn may create 32 to 3� non-basic jobs in the environs. ,�n' � D . ITEM 12. � The.30-32 new on-site jobs could result in a modest increase in local housing demand. ITEM 13a. The project will generate approximat.ely 1800 trip ends per day. Research data indicates that 200.of these trip ends (11/ of the average weekday traffic) will occur during�the peak traffic period, 4:30 to 5:30 P.M. Table 3(page 13 of the July �8, 1980 Project Assessment prepared by Earth. Metrics Incorporated for Days Inn of America) shows that the additional traffic generated by this project, together with present traffic volumes on Airport Boulevard and nearby intersections, will not result in a change in the present "level of service". Traffic flow characteristics are at an acceptable level for urban areas. ITEM 13b. ITEM. 13d. A total of 214 parking spaces will be provided on site. See response to Item 13a. ITEM 15a. Construction of the project will have a short term energy use impact. Long term operation of the motel and restaurant will consume natural . gas and electricity. Gasoline consum�tion of 1350 gallons per day wi17 be demanded by trips generated by the project. DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: ( ) I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a.significant effect on the environment, arrd a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ( X) I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect � on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because of the mitigation measures which have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. : ( ) I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
