LOT AREA: 18.13 AC
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Burlingame Point is a proposed office/life science campus consisting of four office buildings and an
amenities building with a total of 767,000 square feet of floor area on an 18.13 acre site located at 300
Airport Boulevard. The application was approved by the City Council on June 18, 2012.
The project consists of two 5-story buildings, one 7-story building, one 8-story building and a 2-story
amenities building. Parking will be provided in a five -story parking structure, in a podium level parking
area below the four office buildings, and in smaller parking lots scattered throughout the site. Airport
Boulevard will be realigned through the project site. The project also includes public access
improvements along the San Francisco Bay frontage and along Sanchez Channel. The site is currently
vacant, and formerly contained the Burlingame Drive -In Theater, which was demolished about fifteen
years ago.
On August 22, 2016 the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a Design Review Amendment
application and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Addendum to allow design refinements to the
previously approved project. The revisions to the design included adjustments to building locations and
footprints, changes to building forms and architectural treatments, and refinements to the configuration of
amenities and open spaces.
On November 27, 2017 the Planning Commission approved a Design Review Amendment to allow
removal of the private rooftop terraces on two of the four office buildings to provide additional space for
rooftop mechanical equipment.
REQUEST FOR AMENDMENTS TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
The applicant is seeking approval of amendments of the Conditions of Approval to accommodate
anticipated specifications of a single tenant for the project. Please refer to the letter from the applicant,
dated August 2, 2018 (attached).

(RETAIL AND FOOD SERVICE PROVISIONS) AND #21 (TRANSPORTATION ACTION ITEM
DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROVISIONS) OF A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED Item No: 8(b)
OFFICE/LIFE SCIENCE DEVELOPMENT (-BURLINGAME POINT")
There would be no significant changes to the physical design of the buildings. The amendments are
particular to the use and allocation of the food service and retail uses, and to the Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) provisions, in both instances to better match the operational characteristics of a
single -tenant user. Although the amendments do not involve the design of the project, technically the
amendment would be a Commercial Design Review Amendment because the conditions of approval are
situated within the Commercial Design Review permit.
The amendments to the conditions of approval would not preclude occupation by multiple tenants, either
at completion of the project or in the future. While the amendments are intended to address the
anticipated operational characteristics of a single -tenant user, the existing provisions for a multiple -tenant
scenario would continue to remain in the conditions of approval for that circumstance.
Requested Modification to Condition #6: The applicant requests provisions be added to Condition #6 to
accommodate the anticipated food and services characteristics of a single -tenant scenario. Please refer
to the letter from the applicant, dated August 2, 2018 (attached) for a discussion of the request.
Condition #6 currently reads as follows:
that the project shall include approximately 6,655 square feet of retail use and 19,750
square feet of food service use that may be located in buildings B1, B2 and the
amenities building, and Developer shall use its best commercial efforts to lease this
space for retail or food service, including recreation -related uses such as bike rentals,
and interactive educational space, as the case may be, for two years following issuance
of the final certificate of occupancy for each building. Thereafter, any change to the use
of the space designated for retail, recreation -related or food service use shall be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission using the process set out in
Municipal Code Sections 25.16.040 through 25.16.085, using the conditional use permit
findings as the standard of review,
Should the Planning Commission be agreeable to the applicant's request for provisions to accommodate
a single -tenant scenario, the existing text would remain and text to the effect of the following could be
added to the condition:
Notwithstandina the above requirements, which are applicable in the event the proiect is
occupied by multiple tenants if the entire proiect is leased to a single tenant, then that
tenant shall provide a minimum of approximately 26,400 square feet of food service
uses and other convenience goods and services to its employees and invited quests
which may be located in buildings B1 B2 or the amenities building. In addition to this
space the project shall use its best commercial efforts to provide a minimum of 1,600

DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROVISIONS) OF A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
OFFICE/LIFE SCIENCE DEVELOPMENT ("BURLINGAME POINT")
sauare feet of space in buildings B1 or B2 (facing the shoreline) for public-servin
amenities which may include food/beverage service and other retail services to serve
recreational users of the Bay Trail and members of the public. Such public amenities are
encouraged to be provided and open for business on days and times when substantial
use alonq the shoreline is anticipated including weekends and holidays and are
required to provide restrooms accessible to the public. If after two years of operation the
tenant has evidence that the demand for the public amenities is so limited as to justify
discontinuing such services it may request a change of use. Any significant change of
use of the public amenity space or request to discontinue services shall be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Commission.
As noted in the applicant letter, and in the suggested wording for the condition of approval above, in a
single -tenant scenario the applicant is proposing a minimum of 800 square feet of space in each of
buildings B1 and B2 (facing the shoreline) for public -serving amenities (for a total of 1,600 square feet),
which may include food/beverage service and other retail services to serve recreational users of the Bay
Trail and members of the public. For reference, 800 square feet is comparable to the "ready -to -eat food
shop" category in the Burlingame Zoning Code (Code Section 25.08.550-1). Examples of establishments
classified as ready -to -eat food shops include Jougert Bar at 1115 Burlingame Avenue (951 square feet),
and the recently approved Tuna Kahuna at 1117 Burlingame Avenue (810 square feet).
While the applicant has proposed two 800 square foot spaces in separate buildings, the suggested
wording of the condition is broader in that it would not preclude a single, larger 1,600 square foot space.
For reference, a 1,600 square foot space would be slightly larger that Peet's Coffee & Tea at 1241
Burlingame Avenue (1,205 square feet) or Phliz Coffee at 305 Primrose Road (1,375 square feet).
Requested Modification to Condition #21: The applicant requests modifications to Condition #21 to allow
greater flexibility in the selection of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) components, provided
overall trip -reduction performance meets or exceeds those specified in the original approval. Given the
evolving nature of TDM since the original program for the project was approved in 2011 and into the
future, an amendment could be beneficial for either a single- or multiple -tenant scenario provided the
originally intended trip -reduction targets are met (or exceeded).
Condition #21 currently reads as follows:
that the property owner shall comply with the Transportation Demand Management
Program prepared by Fehr and Peers for 350 Beach Road, LLC dated April 6, 2011
including the following measures:

paragraph of the condition could be replaced with text to the effect of the following:
that the Proaerty Owner in the event the Propertv is leased to multiple tenants, or the
tenant in the event that the entire Property is leased to a sole tenant, shall implement a
comprehensive transportation demand management (TDM) program to the satisfaction
of the Community Development Director in order to achieve the same or greater peak
hour trip reductions as the TDM Program prepared by Fehr and Peers for 350 Beach
Road LLC dated April 5 2011. Such TDM Program may include measures such as:
Commercial Design Review: Although the amendments do not involve the design of the project,
technically the amendment would be a Commercial Design Review Amendment because the conditions
of approval are situated within the Commercial Design Review permit.
Design Review Criteria: For reference, criteria for Commercial Design Review as established in
Ordinance No. 1652 adopted by the Council on April 16, 2001 are outlined as follows:
1. Support of the pattern of diverse architectural styles that characterize the city's commercial areas;

2. Respect and promotion of pedestrian activity by placement of buildings to maximize commercial
use of the street frontage, off-street public spaces, and by locating parking so that it does not
dominate street frontages;
3. On visually prominent and gateway sites, whether the design fits the site and is compatible with
the surrounding development;
4. Compatibility of the architecture with the mass, bulk, scale, and existing materials of existing
development and compatibility with transitions where changes in land use occur nearby;
5. Architectural design consistency by using a single architectural style on the site that is consistent
among primary elements of the structure, restores or retains existing or significant original
architectural features, and is compatible in mass and bulk with other structure in the immediate
area; and
6. Provision of site features such as fencing, landscaping, and pedestrian circulation that enriches
the existing opportunities of the commercial neighborhood.
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines, which
states that interior or exterior alterations to existing structures are exempt from environmental review. In
this instance, the approved project is considered an existing structure for purposes of CEQA. An
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the initial approval in 2012, and an EIR Addendum
was prepared for the Design Review Amendment approved in 2016. The proposed amendments to the
Conditions of Approval would be consistent with the analyses contained in the EIR and EIR Addendum.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action should be by resolution and
include findings for accepting the Amendment to the Conditions of Approval contained in the Commercial
Design Review Permit. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated for the record.
The proposed Conditions of Approval are unchanged from those approved by the Planning Commission
on November 27, 2017 except for an amendment to Condition of Approval #6 to address the allocation of
the food service and convenience uses, and to Condition of Approval #21 to address Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) provisions (edits shown in tracked changes).

mitigation measure shall be implemented. (Biological Resources, Planning Division);
34. Bird Nest Buffer Zone. The Project Sponsor(s), in consultation with CDFG, shall delay construction in
the vicinity of active bird nest sites located on or adjacent to the Project Site during the breeding
season (approximately March 15 through August 30) while the nest is occupied with adults and/or
young. If active nests are identified, construction activities should not occur within 500 ft of the nest. A
qualified biologist shall monitor the active nest until the young have fledged, until the biologist
determines that the nest is no longer active, or if it is reasonable that construction activities are not
disturbing nesting behaviors. The buffer zone shall be delineated by highly visible temporary
construction fencing. (Biological Resources, Planning and Building Divisions);
35. In order to reduce significant impacts to the City's wastewater conveyance and treatment system
associated with the Project the Project Sponsor shall adhere to either of the two following mitigation
measures..
a. Upgrade Pump Capacity at the Existing 399 Rollins Road Pump Station and Reduce Inflow and
Infiltration within the Wastewater System. The Project Sponsor(s) shall contribute fair -share
funds toward the upgrade of the 399 RRPS capacity, or equivalent project to increase capacity
in the system, to accommodate the increased PWWF that would result from implementation of
the Project. Additionally, the Project Sponsor(s) shall rehabilitate the existing wastewater
system, where necessary, to reduce inflow and infiltration that contributes to PWWFs at the
WWTP in an amount concomitant with increases in flows contributed by the 300 Airport
Boulevard Project.
b. Upgrade to the Existing Airport Boulevard Conveyance System Variant to Rollins Road Pump
Station Upgrade. The Project Sponsor(s) shall coordinate with the City of Burlingame Public
Works Department to upgrade the capacity of the City's wastewater conveyance and
treatment system to accommodate the increased PWWF that would result from
implementation of development of the 300 and 350 Airport Boulevard Sites. Such measures
could include, as necessary, installation of a new pump station within public right of way or
other area near the Sanchez Channel Bridge on the Project Site, upgrade the capacity of the
existing Airport Boulevard Pump Station, extension of wastewater lines across Sanchez
Channel, via attachment to the Sanchez Channel Bridge, to tie into existing wastewater lines

Re: 300 Airport Boulevard Minor: Modification of Approval Conditions
Dear Mr. Gardiner:
On behalf of Burlingame Point LLC, sponsor of the 300 Airport Boulevard Project, we are
very pleased to announce that a major enterprise is proposing to lease the entire Burlingame Point
campus as the sole tenant (the "Prospective Tenant"). Because the original entitlements for the Project
contemplated a multi -tenant program for the four office buildings comprising the Project, our client
is now requesting relatively minor amendments of two conditions of approval in order to
accommodate a single tenant campus and better match the operation and opportunities of the
Prospective Tenant.'
The purpose of this letter is to explain the basis for the proposed amendments and why we
believe they are consistent with the purposes of the previously -adopted conditions. No modification
to the Development Agreement is proposed or required in order to accommodate the requested
modifications.
By way of background, over the past several years, Burlingame Point LLC and its team have
been working diligently to identify possible tenants whose prestige and reputation would match the
superior quality of the Burlingame Point campus, and who would enhance the image of Burlingame
as an attractive home for office and R&D businesses.
Burlingame Point is now pursuing final negotiations with a very well recognized company
headquartered in the Bay Area which has expressed an intent to lease the entire campus as a single
The Prospective Tenant has been engaged in serious negotiation with our client for several months. The parties have
signed a Letter of Intent and are very close to finalization of lease terms. For business reasons, the Prospective Tenant
is not yet prepared to reveal its identity; however, we anticipate that the Prospective Tenant will be prepared to identify
itself in the near future and before the Planning Commission takes action on the requested minor changes. While
certain business issues are still being discussed between the parties, it is highly likely that if the proposed condition
changes requested pursuant to this letter are approved, the Prospective Tenant will finalize the lease for the entire
campus.

user. Leasing the entire Burlingame Point campus to a single internationally -recognized tenant will
provide several advantages to the community. First, this commitment will accelerate the complete
build -out of the Project. Second, the decision of the Prospective Tenant to locate in Burlingame will
provide a stimulus to other economic development activities in the Bayfront area. In addition, the
Prospective Tenant will implement a comprehensive, leading edge transportation demand
management ("TDM") program that will provide an even greater trip reduction than the TDM plan
specified in the original conditions of approval.
As part of its due diligence, the Prospective Tenant has carefully reviewed the approved
Project and the conditions of approval, and found the campus, as designed, to be suitable for its
purposes. No changes to the architectural program are sought. The Airport Boulevard realignment
will be completed as planned, all the contemplated shoreline open space improvements will be built
(including the renovation of Fisherman's Park, which is not a condition of the City's approvals), and
the public will have full access and use of the shoreline and other on -site open space. Also, the
Prospective Tenant is comfortable with all the mitigation measures and conditions of approval, with
only two minor exceptions discussed below. Burlingame Point LLC is confident that the Prospective
Tenant's occupancy of the entire campus will fulfill the community's vision for this Project.
As noted, the Prospective Tenant intends to occupy the entire campus. While nothing in the
entitlement requires or limits whether the campus is occupied by either a single tenant or multiple
tenants, the original program contemplated a multi -tenant scenario. Accordingly, the Prospective
Tenant has requested that two conditions of approval be adjusted to be more consistent with a single
occupant and the Prospective Tenant's operations.
Requested Modification to Condition 6:
The first modification relates to certain uses that were included in the approved Project in
anticipation of a multi -tenant campus. Specifically, Condition 6, as revised in August 2016, provides
in relevant part:
"That the project shall include approximately 6,655 square feet of retail
use and 19,750 square feet of food service use that may be located in
buildings B1, B2 and the amenities building, and Developer shall use
its best commercial efforts to lease this space for retail or food
service... for two years following issuance of the final certificate of
occupancy for each building. Thereafter, any change to the use of the
space designed for retail, recreation -related or food service use shall be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission..."
This provision contemplates that the campus would be occupied by multiple tenants and is
intended to ensure that the employees would have reasonable access to food and other services on -
site. Of course, those facilities would also be made available to the limited market of others working

in the vicinity who wish to utilize their services during the work week, as well as other members of
the public. As the condition recognizes, it was also contemplated that these food/retail services would
be provided by leasing space to individual operators (e.g., lunchtime food service companies), and that
it also might not prove economically viable for individual operators to provide these services to office
workers at this somewhat isolated site. For this reason, the condition recognized the possibility that
the intended retail and food service space might not be leased, and that the Planning Commission
could re -visit the use of this approximately 26,000 square feet of space if efforts to lease the space to
individual operators proved unsuccessful.
This contemplated program for providing food and services to employees presents a number
of challenges for a single tenant campus. First, the practice of cutting edge firms within the Bay Area
(including the Prospective Tenant) is to provide a higher level of amenity services for their own
employees in order to recruit and retain a highly qualified workforce and to help reduce vehicle trips.
It is also more efficient for a single user to provide those services directly, without needing to account
for the profit margins required to sustain an outside service provider. Finally, there is a security
component, since providing food and other services in areas restricted to employees ensures that those
employees are free to discuss work and exchange intellectual property and prospective product
strategies in a secure environment.
The Prospective Tenant intends to provide its employees a broad range of food and other on -
site services consistent with its other campus operations. While tenant improvement plans are still
being finalized, the Prospective Tenant anticipates that at full occupancy it would provide
approximately 56,000 square feet of tenant food service, as well as a small tenant store and tenant -
serving laundry facilities as shown on the diagram attached to this letter. The great majority of these
services would be provided in Buildings 1, 2 and the amenities building, consistent with what was
originally contemplated by Condition 6. The Prospective Tenant is therefore requesting a modification
to Condition 6 that would require that the tenant provide a minimum of 26,000 square feet of food
services and other retail -like services to its employees. However, for the reasons noted above, it is
critical that the Prospective Tenant be able to provide these services to its employees/guests only.
Although not considered a "public benefit" for purposes of the Development Agreement, the
current language in Condition 6 does contemplate that any food and retail services within the campus
would also have been made available to the general public visiting the shoreline for recreational
purposes. However, the number of recreational users seeking these services during weekday work
hours is likely to be very small, and there is little likelihood that any of the services contemplated by
Condition 6 would generate enough business to operate on weekends or holidays when recreational
shoreline use would be highest. Indeed, as contemplated in current Condition 6, it remains unclear
whether those services in a multi -tenant scenario would be economically viable even during the
weekdays.

However, the Prospective Tenant values the vibrancy of the Bay Trail and its relationship to
the Project, and fully understands the desirability of providing some form of public food and retail
services that would be specifically designed with recreational users in mind. To that end, the
Prospective Tenant is willing to commit to providing a minimum of 800 square feet of space in
Buildings 1, facing the shoreline, for a mix of food/beverage and other services that would expressly
cater to public recreational users of the Bay Trail and Fisherman's Park, in addition to 800 square feet
of space in Building 2 that could include similar uses, or potentially a small retail store providing
convenience goods and apparel, for a total of 1,600 square feet of community -serving uses. The precise
services to be provided would be developed in the future in consultation with City staff.
Requested Modification to Condition 21:
The second requested modification concerns the TDM program requirements set forth in
Condition 21. Condition 21 is somewhat unusual in that it prescribes a set of specific components of
the TDM plan prepared in 2011 as part of the original Project approvals, and does not allow for the
particular features of that TDM plan to evolve or change over time. In other words, it effectively
"freezes" the TDM conditions prepared in 2011 by specifying a strict list of measures that must be
implemented, rather than giving the owner/tenant the right to select from a menu of options to
achieve trip reduction and allow those measures to evolve over time (which is what we see in most
project entitlements). Apart from the rigidity of Condition 21, a further challenge arises because the
TDM plan from 2011 contemplated a multi -tenant program rather than a single tenant campus, and
what works for a multi -tenant program is not necessarily the same as what works for a single tenant.
As noted above, the Prospective Tenant plans to implement a comprehensive, state-of-the-art
TDM Program which will accomplish an even greater level of trip reduction than the TDM measures
required by Condition 21. However, the Prospective Tenant's preferred TDM program will not exactly
correspond to all of the specific TDM elements cited in Condition 21. For example, the Prospective
Tenant operates its own private transit program and therefore there is no need to provide shuttle stops
within the campus for public shuttles to and from the Millbrae Intermodal Station (see e.g., Condition
21.c). Thus, while the Prospective Tenant's TDM program will achieve the purposes of the Condition
21 TDM measures and provide even better performance in terms of reducing single occupancy vehicle
trips, it may not be consistent with every detail of Condition 21.
The Prospective Tenant is fully committed to maintain a leading edge TDM program to reduce
employee vehicle trips, consistent with the intent of Condition 21 to achieve a substantial reduction
in "peak hours" trips that have the greatest impact on traffic congestion. The Prospective Tenant
seeks only flexibility to achieve these goals in a manner more consistent with its current, best TDM
practices. One way to achieve this flexibility would be to request that City Staff review an occupant's
proposed TDM program, and approve that program as long as it demonstrates an equal or greater
degree of trip reduction than the measure listed in Condition 21. This approach would also be more
efficient by allowing TDM plans to evolve over time without the need for future public hearings every

time a specific component is changed. To that end, we would request that Condition 21 be amended
to allow for alternative TDM measures to be employed so long as they will achieve the same or greater
trip reductions as compared to the TDM plan from 2011.
Conclusion
On behalf of Burlingame Point LLC, we could not be more excited about partnering with the
Prospective Tenant and the benefits that this Tenant will bring both to the Project and the broader
community. The Prospective Tenant's occupancy of the Burlingame Point campus is fully consistent
with the community's goals for the Project, and the requested changes are only required to
accommodate a marquee single tenant user who operates its own employee amenity program and
state-of-the-art TDM program. All of the Project's key public improvements, including the
reconfiguration of Airport Boulevard and the open space and shoreline improvements, will be fully
implemented. In addition, the general public would continue to have access not only to the shoreline,
but also to the pedestrian promenade, plazas, and interconnected open spaces within the campus.
The Prospective Tenant seeks only minor changes to two approved conditions which will still
achieve the goals of (1) providing a broad range of food and other services for employees, while
ensuring a limited menu of services will be provided for the general public, including people using the
shoreline for recreation, and (2) implementing a TDM program that will achieve the same or greater
trip reductions relative to the TDM measures specified in Condition 21.
As part of the application to amend these two conditions, we have attached a conceptual plan
showing the amenities planned by the Prospective Tenant. We sincerely look forward to working with
you and City staff to bring this request to the Planning Commission. As always, please do not hesitate
to contact me if you have any questions or if there is any additional material we can provide.
Sincerely,
Timothy Tosta
