B�ysnore Highway (Code Sec. 25.41.025-e and Code 3ec. 18.18.050-c) and
to locate a radio equipment room (768 SF) in a storage area in the
basement of the building (Code Sec. 25.41.025-c). The storaqe area
will be visited every 30 to 45 days by technicians who will maintain

At their meeting of September 10, 1985 the Planning Commission held a
public hearing and reviewed this application. Following discussion a
motion to grant both use permits as conditioned by staff was made by
resolution and passed 6-0 (Commissioner Giomi absent). Commission
discussion focused on the basement storage area and its potential for
flooding and the intensity of occupancy in this area; on the visibility
of the antennas on the roof; and on potential radio interference with
the airport.
It should be noted that these proposed antennas are not dish antennas
and therefore are not subject to the criteria of Code Section
18.18.060. These antennas will both receive and transmit signals.
Details of their operation are included in the Planning Commission
September 10, 1985 staff report.

cars at present, they have had 45 in the past, all are dispatched and
do not come to the site, they go from one shop to another; this
busi ess is insurance replacement, customers are met at the body shops.
He re onfirmed they could not meet the conditions regarding fleet size
and wri ing of lease agrements in the. City of Burlingame. They have
national�accounts and bills go out from the corporate offices in Ohio.
��
Commission�\comment: think the applicant should investig�>te the
possibility�pf writing all contracts in Burlingame; cQticern that a
future use coiald be any type of car rental agency; d�ot so concerned
about this use'�,as about the long range impact of �.�iis use, a regular
car rental agen�,y could generate parking problems'; think Commission
should limit the°�,use to this particular use. Staff advised a special
permit cannot be �,onditioned to a specific busines/person,
consideration this'�,evening is clearly a sp�cial permit determination.

Mr. Santos stated he�'°�•�ould not make a decision on the conditions of
operation. C. Taylor'�m��oved to contin�e this item to the meeting of
September 23, 1985. S ond C. Schwa�m; motion approved on unanimous

issues,�'�ich were raised in staff's Auqust 19, 1985 1'etter. He advised
Mr. Nic�hols planned to inspect the site tomorrow; the''%ompany is just

manager, Amerex Rent�A-Car addressec'� Commission: they have been
operating from this,fsite for a year,`'"��.�ave received no complaints from
tenants of the bui,�'ding; most cars are�,delivered to several body shops
in the bay area, ,they are left there and are not brought back to the

Respond�n`ig to Commission question, applicant st�,ted they could not
con�,�m to the condition requiring all lease agr�ments be written in
the City of Burlingame; regarding limitation of the fleet size to 25,
he could see no reason why they should be limited t�25 since even with
a 90 car fleet most cars would not be in the parking ot. Staff
advised 25 was an arbitrary number, since these permi run with the
land it is a control on the volume of this and future b sinesses. In
further explanation of the business, Mr. Santos stated t ey have 37

system, study meeting questions. Four conditions were suggested for
consideration at the public hearing.
Commission questions: what space is applicant occupying in this
building which gives theM the use of the roof; will basement storage
area have waterproof doors; how visible are the antennas. Engineering
will not allow the basement area to be used as a habitable floor.
Monica Zorovich, Whisler-Patri and John Kelly, operations manager, GTE
Mobilnet were present. Ms. Zorovich advised GTE Mobilnet is a
subsidiary of GTE. Mr. Kelly discussed this proposed installation: the
height; support pole and screen will be painted the same color as the
structure they will be mounted on, they will blend with the building;
they need certain heights to cover the area for this cellular mobile
telephone service. They prefer to install on a building since then
they do not have to construct a tower themselves; this system is
currently in use at the airport, they have not received complaints.
Chm. Garcia opened the public hearing. There were no audience comments
and the hearing was closed.
C. Schwalm moved for approval of this special permit and for adoption
of Commission Resolution Approving Special Permits with the following
con3itions: (1) that the conditions of the Fire Marshal's memo of
August 13, 1985 and the City Engineer's memo of August 19, 1985 shall
be met; (2) that the equipment room in the basement shall not be
visited more often than once every 40 days and the employee doing the

entrance to the�city, landscaping is a concern, would like to screen
the parking g�age as seen from California Drive and along the railroad
tracks; regar ing traffic circulation, "no left turn" signs are
violated daily, would prefer to place a barrier there; barriers will
not stop left hand turns and they often get torn down, would not like
to see the left hand turn from Carolan onto Broadway eliminated; from
experience have found right hand turns from Broadway to California are
no problem, that is the only lane that moves; the existing structure

Item #5
MEMO TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: SPECIAL PERMIT FOR A MOBILE RADIO-TELEPHONE SYSTEM STATION
AND ANTENNA AT 1350 BAYSHORE HIGHWAY, C-4 DISTRICT
GTE Mobilnet represented by Monica Zorovich of Whisler-Patri is
requesting a special permit to install a group of eight antennae at a
height of 142'-10" on the roof of the office building at 1350 Bayshore
Highway (Code Sec. 25.41.025-e). She is also requesting a use permit
to locate a radio equipment room (768 SF) manned periodically (every 30
to 45 days) in a storage area of the basement of the building (Code
Sec. 25. 41.025-c>.
City Staff Review
City staff have reviewed the request. The Chief Building Inspector
(September 3, 1985 memo) had no comment. The Fire Marshal (August 13,
1985 memo) notes that holes made in the roof for installing the
antennae must be sealed with Fire Dept. approved material. The City
Engineer (August 19, 1985 memo) comments that GTE is proposing to
occupy a basement level of this building which may not be used for
areas of work, lounging, living, eating, etc. The applicant needs to
confirm this use as equipment only and confirm that parking is adequate
if the basement is used.
Applicant's Submittal
The applicant submitted a detailed description of the cellular mobile
radio-telephone system, how it works, what they intend to build at 1350
Bayshore Highway and (page 4) how it will be operated. They also
submitted a letter (August 29, 1985) addressing concerns expressed by
the Commission at study (see below).
Studv Questions
At study the Planning Commission asked questions regarding parking
impact, lights on the antennae, cross section of building with antennae
and how antennae are attached.
According to their August 29, 1985 letter the area being leased is on
the lower basement level an3 has always been used for storage space.
Parking is located on the first floor of the basement above the storage
area. No GTE Sprint employees will be located permanently on the site.
Service visits will be once each 30 to 45 days (no length of service
visit was noted). They note FAA will not require lights on top of the
antennae. They do not expect that the floor area of the equipment room
(24' x 32') will be expanded in the future. The antennae's mountings
will be tied to the building's structural system. Because the system
is a backup communication system for fire and �olice personnel, the
engineering of the mountings exceeds that normally required by the
code according to GTE.
-2-
Planninq Commission Action
The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Both use permits
can be considered at one hearing. Affirmative action on each use
permit should be taken by resolution. The Commission should state
clearly the reason for any action they take. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
1. that the conditions of the Fire Marshal's memo of August 13, 1985
and the City Engineer's memo of August 19, 1985 shall be met;
2. that the equipment room in the basement shall not be visited more
often than once every 40 days and the employee d�ing the service
shall not stay at/in the room for more than four hours and no
employee shall have a desk or other office anywhere on the
premises of the storage basement;
3. that the applicant shall provide to the city a clearance from the
FAA showing that the antennae are not a hazard to aviation and do
not require hazard or other lights; and
4. that a letter from both the FCC and the San Francisco International
Airport shall be submitted stating that the frequency being used in
this cellular system is approved and not a hazard to the operation
of San Francisco International Airport.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION `��� 3 1 ��$5
San Francisco/San Jose Cellular Mobile Radio-Telephone NetwB�Nµ+� o�ME
GTE MOBILNET
Revised July 1985
GTE Mobilnet proposes to build a new mobile radio-telephone system serving the
greater San Francisco Bay Area. Consisting of approximately 36 installations
spread between Novato in the north, Livermore to the east, and Morgan Hill in
the south, the project is designed to implement a recent advance in technology
known as "cellular" mobile telephone service.
1. WHAT IS A"CELLULAR MOBILE RADIO-TELEPHONE" SYSTEM?
The proposed project is designed to implement a recent advance in mobile
radio-telephone technology known as "cellular" mobile telephone service.
Unlike the traditional mobile telephone system which uses a single high-
powered transmitter to cover an entire region, the new technology divides
the service area into small "cells" each having its own low-powered�trans-
mitter.
In an extensive investigation lasting more than a decade, the Federal Com-
munications Commission has found this new service to be needed and desir-
able [Memorandum of Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, Docket No. 79-318
47 Federal Regulation 10018, 10033-34; 89 FCC 2d 58 (1982)].
The FCC cited the following benefits when approving this new technology:
- the new technology greatly increases the consumer availability and re-
liability of mobile telephones by offering greater system capacity,
superior transmission quality, and increased user privacy,
- the new technology conserves scarce radio frequency blocks by re-using
channels within each system,
- by allowing direct dialing and eliminating the need for a mobile oper-
ator, the new technology will be easier and generally less expensive
for the general public to use; long distance dialing, call forwarding,
call waiting, and three-way cal�ing services will also be offered,
- by bypassing much of the existang wireline telephone system, the new
technology is more likely to survive a major disaster (such as an
earthquake) and remain operational for emergency communications.
Since October 1983, cellular systems have been built in Chicago, New York,
Los Angeles, Washington/Baltimore, Houston, Seattle, Indianapolis, and
Milwaukee. Systems are under construction in each of the rest of the
nation's 30 largest cities. By 1987, most of the country's 100 largest ur-
ban areas will be served by cellular mobile telephone systems.

WHO WILL USE A"CELLULAR" TELEPHONE SYSTEM?
Market surveys indicate that a significant demand for expanded mobile tele-
phone service presently exists. The current mobile telephone technology is
over-subscribed and waiting-lists exist in most service areas. Once "cellu-
lar" service becomes available, it is anticipated that the demand will fur-
ther increase. GTE Mobilnet estimates that an immediate nationwide demand
exists for 1.5 million users and that by the mid-1990s, that number will
grow to an estimated 4.5 million users. Reviewing the first year of com-
mercial experience with the Chicago prototype system, many industry observ-
ers feel that these market projections may be too conservative.
In the San Francisco-San Jose metropolitan area, GTE Mobilnet anticipates
serving almost 3,500 subscribers during the first year of operation. By
the fifth year, the number of Bay Area subscribers is expected to grow to
27,000.
In addition to the expected business users (executives, salesmen, consul-
tants, and construction contractors to name a few), GTE Mobilnet -has re-
ceived many inquiries from local governments and emergency services (such
as fire departments, ambulance services, and the Red Cross).
HOW DO "CELLULAR" MOBILE TELEPHONES WORK?
Conceptually, the cellular mobile radio-telephone system uses a large num-
ber of low-powered transmitting/receiving stations located throughout the
Bay Area. The proposed project site in your community is just one of the
approximately 36 "cell" sites which comprise the regional system. As a
mobile unit travels about the region, its signal is electronically switched
to an available channel at the nearest cell. This is opposed to the tra-
ditional mobile telephone technology which utilizes a single, high-powered
transmitter to cover the entire Bay Area.
The advantage of the proposed cellular system is that it greatly increases
the availability and quality of mobile telephone services without increas-
ing the number of radio frequencies required. As a result, the proposed
initial system is expected to serve more than 150 times the number of pre-
sent subscribers on a network which offers a level of service comparable to
the existing residential "landline" telephone system. GTE Mobilnet pro-
poses to maintain a 95 percent ratio of successfully completed calls; that
is, a user will be able to obtain a dial-tone and immediately obtain an
open circuit 95 percent of the time. Presently, only about 50 percent of
all mobile telephone connections are successfully completed and it often
takes up to 30 minutes to obtain an open circuit.
HOW WERE THE "CELL" LOCATIONS CHOSEN?
Cellular telephone technology relies upon creating
limited geographic area. These cells are the key
quencies and increasing consumer accessibility to th
"cells" which serve a
to reusing radio fre-
e system. In order to
+�
Page 3
avoid gaps in reception to and from each mobile unit, the cells must be
located so that there is a significant overlap in the area of radio cover-
age f rom each station. Depending upon the terrain, each cell station
will serve a territory approximately 8 to 12 miles in diameter. Ideally,
the cellular network may be thought of as a uniform grid of cell stations
evenly covering the Bay Area.
The actual cell locations are, in reality, affected by a variety of real-
world factors. The hilly terrain of the Bay Area requires more cells than
normal to adequately cover the region. The actual cell location is also
affected by proximity to major concentrations of users -- traffic cor-
ridors, such as airports and interstate freeways (e.g. Interstate 280 and
Highway 17); industrial parks and office developments; and other densely
populated business and residential centers. For optimum efficiency, the
cell installations should be located as close these concentrations as pos-
sible.
When the engineers had determined the optimum location for each cell sta-
tion, GTE Mobilnet sought to acquire the appropriate property. Not only
did each site have to meet the criteria established by the radio engineers,
the construction of the cell site had to meet local planning codes and
cause minimal environmental impact on the surrounding area. Whenever pos-
sible, GTE Mobilnet has sought to utilize existing radio towers or high-
rise buildings to mount its antennae. Where existing radio-towers or high-
rise buildings were not available, GTE Mobilnet proposes to erect a new
freestanding, monopole antenna.
Because effective radio transmission for the entire system relies on the
geographic relationships between the cell stations, the entire system must
be redesigned if an appropriate site cannot be found near the optimum lo-
cation. During the early planning phases, the engineers did allow some
flexibility of location. However, it has become more difficult to adjust
the cell locations as the various sites have been actually acquired or ap-
proved. In all, it has taken over three years to plan the Bay Area net-
work.
5. WHAT DOES GTE MOBILNET PROPOSE TO BUILD AT THIS SITE?
A cell site installation typically�includes the following major components:
- electronic switehing and radio transmitting/receiving equipment.
- emergency electrical power supply (usually batteries).
- antennae assembly consisting of 6 sector-receive elements ("bat wings"
with a central rod approximately 3 inches in diameter by 12 feet long
with 11 inch wings on each side of the center rod) and up to 3 trans-
mitter elements ("whips" approximately 3 inches in diameter by 12 feet
long) located approximately 80 to 150 feet above the ground.
- connections with utilities electricity and telephone are required, wa-
ter is necessary only if landscaping is proposed, sewage connections
are not need).
Page 4
The operation of the cell site installation is remotely controlled from the
regional system's command center in Hayward, California and a national cen-
ter in Houston, Texas. No employees will be located permanently at this
site and service visits are expected to occur once each 30 to 45 days.
The design and siting of the proposal are illustrated in detail on the at-
tached drawings.
6. WILL THIS SYSTEM INTERFERE WITH RADIO OR TELEVISION BROADCASTS?
Unlike Citizen's Band radio, the cellular mobile telephone system is highly
regulated by both the state and federal governments. No interference is
anticipated.
The proposed system will utilize "cellular frequency block B" consisting of
radio frequency channels ranging from 835.020 to 844.980 and 880.020 to
889.980 MHz. This portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum was formerly
allocated for use by television channels 71 to 80. These frequencies have
been reserved for cellular telephone systems on a national basis by the
Federal Communications Commission. The cellular frequencies are distinctly
different from those frequencies used by comnercial radio and television
stations. Just as television channel 4 never interferes with channel 5, no
interference with existing uses caused by the cellular system is expected.
Cellular mobile telephone technology utilizes low-power FM transmissions
for communication with the mobile units. The proposed installation will
broadcast using less than 100 watts of power (up to 5,000 times less power
than used by a commercial AM radio station and equivalent to the average
light-bulb). The installation will be monitored by qualified personnel at
all times. Monitoring facilities for the Bay Area system are located in
Hayward, California and Houston, Texas.
The following information should help answer any additional questi_ons you
might have about this issue:
- The design and operation of the system is regulated by the Federal
Communications Commission. The FCC is charged, by law, with the
establishment of technical and operational standards that will allow
the use of the radio spectrum with a minimum of interference between
users. The FCC thoroughly reviewed GTE Mobilnet's proposal before
granting a broadcast license. The FCC can revoke GTE Mobilnet's li-
cense at any time if it is found that the system is not being operated
in accordance with the FCC's rules and regulations.
- The FCC assigns frequencies to users in a manner that reduces the po-
tential for interference. The frequencies which GTE Mobilnet will
utilize are reserved on a national basis for cellular mobile telephone
use. These frequencies are located above the upper end of the broad-
cast service -- AM, FM and TV -- spectrum so as to minimize the poten-
tial for interference.
Page 5
Three years of testing on the Chicago prototype system resulted in no
complaints of interference according to Steve Markendroff, a staff en-
gineer with the Mobile Services Division, Common Carrier Bureau of the
FCC [(202) 632-6400].
Commercial systems are now "on the air" in Los Angeles, Chicago, New
York, Washington/Baltimore, Houston, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and
Seattle. Again, the operation of these systems has resulted in no
complaints of interference.
The system does not utilize "microwave" transmissions.
7.
WHAT GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS ARE REQUIREO IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT THIS SYSTEM?
The applicant, GTE Mobilnet, received FCC approval on July 8, 1983 (FCC
File No. 26045-CL-P-82) to construct a cellular mobile radio-telephone net-
work in the Bay Area.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC Docket No. 83-07-04)
granted final approval allowing the operation of the system in October of
1984.
Because of the project's regional nature and public utility status, the
Public Utilities Commission, acting as the Lead Agency as defined by CEQA,
has prepared the required environmental review documents for the initial 25
sites. On May 25, 1984, copies of the Initial Study and a draft Negative
Declaration were mailed to the various local authorities and public review
was invited. The public review period was closed on June 29, 1984. On
August 1, 1984, the CPUC formally certified a Negative Declaration for the
project's initial 25 sites. On September 13, 1984, the CPUC authorized the
actual construction of the system. For sites in addition to the initial 25
sites, CEQA assessment is handled by the appropriate local agency because
the cumulative area wide impacts have been addressed.
In addition to receiving final approval
installation in the system must obtain
proval from the appropriate local agency,
from the State of California, each
planning and building permit ap-
8. WHO IS GTE MOBILNET?
GTE Mobilnet of San Francisco/San Jose, Limited Partnership, is a regulated
public utility. As a telecommunications utility, GTE Mobilnet's franchise
and broadcast operating practices are closely regulated by the Federal Com-
munications Commission. As a California public utility (similar to Pacific
Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, or Pacific Bell), GTE Mobilnet
is also regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission. The CPUC
reviews all aspects of GTE Mobilnet's business, including the rates and
tariffs that will be charged to a consumer of the mobile telephone service.

Limited partnerships, such as GTE Mobilnet of San Francisco/San Jose, con-
sist of both minority, limited partners and a majority, general partner. A
subsidiary of Pacific Telephone is the sole limited partner. GTE Mobilnet,
Inc. of Houston, Texas is the majority owner and acts as the managing gen-
eral partner. GTE Mobilnet, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the GTE
Corporation. With over $12 billion in annual revenues, the GTE Corporation
is the nation's single largest telephone company following the breakup of
AT&T and its regional operating subsidiaries.
The General Telephone Company of California and GTE Sprint, Inc., although
also wholly-owned subsidiaries of the GTE Corporation, are not associated
with this project.

bathrooms, final plans will be complete; chemicals will not be
discharged into the sewer sytem, this is regulated by the state; he
felt individual delivery/pickup time for a dry cleaning service would
be no more than five minutes and that there is sufficient public
parking in the area; applicants will satisfy all requirements of the
city when applying for a building permit following approval of this
use; they do not plan to operate delivery vans, will do no wholesale
work; may possibly have once a day shirt laundry service trucks. Fred
Guerrero, American Pacific Equipment Co., spoke in favor: can see no
problem with provision of bathrooms, will use existing ones which were
sized for the previous nightclub use; have spoken with the property
owners' attorney, they will be doing all the improvements; once the
permit is approved complete building plans will be prepared. There
were no further audience comments and the hearing was closed.
Commission discussion: concern about parking in this impacted area; not
a goo3 location for this business with its intensive parking demand;
Commission does not know what uses might go into the rest of this
building but cannot deny because of that; what use is there which won't
generate parking, do not believe this would be any worse than on
Broadway or Burlingame Avenue.
C. Jacobs moved to deny this special permit. Second C. Graham; motion
approved on a 5-2 roll call vote, Cers Leahy and Garcia dissenting.
Appeal procedures were advised.

Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes August 26, 1985
C. Jacobs moved to amend the 1968 use permit and for adoption of
Commission Resolution Approving Special Permits with the following
conditions: (1) that the conditions of the City Engineer's August 7,
1985 memo shall be met; (2) that the parking requirement for the hotel
use be revised to 365 parking spaces no more than 20$ of which are
compact stalls, laid out as shown on the plans submitted to the
Planning Department and date stamped July 17, 1985; (3) that all
landscaping installed within the parking area be maintained includinq
installing and maintaining landscaping on the island between the main
parking lot and the parking lot fronting on Burlway Road; and (4) that
because its conditions w�re not met the February 11, 1985 use permit is
no longer valid. Second C. Graham.
Comment on the motion: think the applicant's request is reasonable, why
should Amfac provide more spaces than the code requirement; if the
parking requirement were lowered to 329 would like to see the hotel
meet other requirements in which it is nonconforming; there are parking
problems on this site now, would prefer to keep the requirement at 365.
Motion approved on a 6-1 roll call vote, C. Taylor dissenting. Appeal
procedures were advised.

Re: GTE Mobilnet
Project Application & CEQA Assessment
Study Item #16
00592.20/A.1
Dear Ms. Towber:
In response to the five questions raised at the August 26, 1985 Planning Commis-
sion hearing with regard to the GTE Mobilnet Project Application, please note
the following:
1. Required Parking
The proposed equipment room would not replace required parking. GTE
Mobilnet would be leasing space on the lower basement level of 1350
Bayshore Highway. This lower basement level is, and always has been, stor-
age space. Parking is located one floor above on the garage basement lev-
el.
2. Habitable
The proposed GTE equipment room will house telephone switching equipment.
No employees will be located permanently at this site and service visits
are expected to occur once each 30 to 45 days.
3. Hazard Lights
No additional air traffic hazard lights will be required for the proposed
antennas on the roof of 1350 Bayshore Highway. Per Federal Aviation Regu-
lations, Part 77, Subchapter B, Section 77.15(b), an FAA Determination is
not required for:
"Any antenna structure of 20 feet or less in height, except one that
would increase the height of another antenna structure."
A Whisler�atri
4. Future Growth
Ms. Helen Towber
August 29, 1985
Page 2
The 24' x 32' space shown on the drawings will provide for addition of
equipment banks as the GTE Mobilnet system grows. As shown in the enclosed
typical floor plan, one or two banks of equipment will be installed ini-
tially with space allocated for future equipment, up the capacity of the
system. No future expansion beyond the area designated is anticipated.
5. Antenna Mounting
The proposed transmit antennas will be mounted to the roof of the existing
building penthouse by means of mounting brackets which are securely tied
into the building's structural system. The GTE Mobilnet system is an im-
portant back-up to the emergency communications system and is used by fire
and police personnel. As such, the engineering of this mounting exceeds
what is normally required by code.
