It was brought to the attention of the Commission that the new apartment house
under construction on the Westerly line of El Camino Real, North of Broadway, is set back
15, 611. It was brought out in discussion that it was understood the owner would maintain
a 20' set -back and the plans were approved by the Commission on that basis. City
Attorney Karmel was present and his advice was asked, and he advised the Commission that
the work could be ordered stopped until such time as the structure is moved back to the
proper distance. Accordingly, City Engineer Longson was instructed to have the work
stopped until the owner complies with the set -back requirement.
Commissioner Coles and all the commissioners present indicated that they are in
accord with the thought that all building permits relating to apartments on El Camino
Real, and permits for duplexes, be first submitted to the Planning Commission as provided
in the Burlingame Ordinance Code.,
Commissioner Macomber made the motion and it was seconded by Commissioner Brown,
and on roll call unanimously carried that the Planning Commission recommends to the City
Council that Lots 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, Block 46, and Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Block 47, Town of
Burlingame, be rezoned from the "Commercial" to the "Apartment" zone.
Commissioner Shattuck made the motion and it was seconded by Commissioner Coles,
,%and on rollcall unanimously carried that the Planning Commission recommends to the City
/Council that Lot 1, Block 22, Burlingables Subdivision, be rezoned from the "Commercial"
to the "Apartment" zone.
The Commission carried on a discussion regarding the proposed fire tower on
California Drive, and the consensus of opinion was that this is not a good location for suds
a structure, both on account of the appearance of the structure itself in that neighborhood,
and the traffic condition it would create on California Drive by the equipment being there
from the fire departments of the three cities which plan to use the tower. It was thought
it would be much better if the fire tower is needed, to build it in another location possi-
bly at the corporation yard.
There was a good deal of discussion of a preliminary map of the.Commercial
District "with proposed extension and improvements" having to do with the possibility of
creating an area in the vicinity of Park ?load for the use of professional people such as
doctors and lawyers and dentists, etc. and an adjacent area extending from California Drive
for the use of automotive trades. No definite recommendation was made at this time and the
subject was referred back to the sub -committee for further study of the proposed plans.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10.50 p.m.
