MEMO T0: CITY MANAGER
FROM: ASSISTANT CITY PLAN�IER
SUBJECT: SPECIAL PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT THE SEABREEZE PLAZA, A 106,000 SF
OFFICE BUILDING AT 35 BAYVIEW PLACE
On March 26, 1979 a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on the application
by Joseph Kent of Raiser Architectural Group to construct the SeaBreeze Plaza office
building in the Anza area. At the conclusion of the hearing the project was approved
7-0; a project summary is attached for Council information.
Over the past four months, following the code amendment which made office projects
a conditional use in the C-4 District, the City has held several meetings to consider
development policies and plans for the Anza area. On February 7, 1979 the City Council
selected "Plan 4" (from the January 10 staff report which presented alternative specific
plans); Plan 4 allocates office development to 35 Bayview Place. Since the proposed
office project fully complies with all code requirements (off-street parking, building
height, lot coverage, setbacks and yards, landscaping, etc.) and the City's office
location policy for the Anza area, staff recorrmended approval of this project with
the following six conditions:
1. that the permit be approved to San Mateo Square Investors, and be
non-transferable.
2. that all construction and site improvements be consistent with the plans
and initial study (dated 2/8/79) filed with this application by Raiser
Architectural group.
3. that Bayview Place be extended as a private road by the project sponsor at
his expense, with the final design and construction specifications to be
approved by the City; minimum standards to be observed are concrete curb,
gutter and sidewalk.
4. that public access be provided between Bayview Place and the lagoon adjacent
to the project site, and that the area between this lagoon and this project's
on-site parking be landscaped and provided with a paved pathway, two rest
stops/view points with seats, and other amenities consistent with its
maximum feasible public use.
5. that prior to the issuance of a building permit by the City of Burlingame,
the following requirements be met:
a. All permits required from other responsible agencies be obtained,
such permits to include (but not be limited to) the Bay Conservation
and Development Commission and the State Lands Commission (for use of
and improvements on adjacent State owned parcels).
b. All landscaping and irrigation systems be approved by the City, and
be so designed that the maximum feasible on-site parking spaces are
screened from adjacent State lands.

6. that a site development fee be paid to the City for off-site road and
intersection improvements consistent with the adopted plan for the Anza
area. This fee is payable upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
or the City awarding the first contract for road improvements to be funded
by the site development charge, whichever occurs first. The fee is presently
estimated at $26,219. If the final fee is not established when the fee
becomes payable under one of the above conditions, the project sponsor shall
deposit $30,000 or acceptable security therefor with the City; upon
determination of the final fee the d9fference shall then be refunded.
John Raiser, Raiser Construction Company, advised the Commission that the six
conditions were acceptable; the project was then approved as submitted. Unless
appealed, this special permit will be effective April 3, 1979, subject to San Mateo
Square Investors' compliance with the above conditions.
