I have the following comments which need to be addressed prior to any action.
A property boundary survey shall be performed by a licensed land surveyor/engineer. The
survey shall show all property lines, property corners, easements, topographical features and
utilities.
The survey needs to be wet -stamped and signed by the licensed land surveyor/engineer.
2. Show proposed drainage system and indicate that all roof and site drainage shall go to street
by gravity. Show direction of drainage on adjacent property to confirm that no drainage
enters this site or else that drainage needs to be included in the on -site system.
On Sheet C-1 of plans, show the size of the proposed storm drain pipes with hydraulic
calculations. Stormwater and groundwater from the foundation perimeter drain shall be
directed to onsite landscaping/swales. Excess stormwater can be drained into City storm
drain system.
3. Since this whole site is to be developed below street or adjacent grade, approvals will be
conditioned upon installation of an emergency generator to power the sump pump system;
and the sump pump system shall be redundant in all mechanical and electrical aspects (i.e.,
dual pumps, controls, level sensors, etc.). Emergency generators must be so housed that they
meet the City's noise requirement - see attached plan check sheet. Proposed pump and
generator are to be shown.
4. If large tree(s) is/are to be removed, plans shall show plantings to ameliorate the removals
with approval from the Parks Department.
Response in May 24, 200E shall be forwarded to theParks Department for approval.
5. Show required seven foot (T) minimum clearances at parking garage floor areas not just floor
to floor. Provide room for all pipings, ducts and fire sprinklers. Disabled parking shall have
access and parking area at eight feet two inches (87') clear.
Response in May 24, 2005 submittal is acceptable.

6. All utilities to this site must be installed underground. Any transformers needed for this site
must be installed underground or behind the front setback on this site.
7. Indicate that new curb, gutter and sidewalk fronting this site shall be designed by a civil
engineer, approved by the City Engineer, and installed by this development.
Response in May 24, 2005 submittal is acceptable.
8. Curb, street elevations and a detailed driveway profile are needed. For flood protection, the
driveways to all below -grade parking areas must have a high point either at property line or
on site that is 12 inches above proposed flow line of street. Back of sidewalk elevation must
be at 2% from projected top of curb through driveway. Transitions both up and then down
at the street are required as are transitions at the lower level. Maximum allowable driveway
slope is 15% and is subject to approval by the City Engineer.
Plans from May 24, 2005 submittal did not address this comment which needs to be provided
prior to the Planning Commission.
9. All irrigation systems and planting shall follow City's water conservation guidelines.
10. Rear landscape area shall drain to street or to a storm drainage system without pumping.
Response in May 24, 2005 submittal is acceptable.
11. Show the location for the fire sprinkler connection that is proposed. All fire system work
shall conform to the City's current procedures for underground water systems.
12. All on site catch basins and drainage inlets shall be stencilled. All catch basins shall be
protected during construction so no debris will be dumped into them. The City will provide
a stencil.
13. Show underground and at -grade parking slab elevations. Maximum slope in any parking
space is 5%. Show drainage pattern.
14. Provide all on site drainage inlets or the sump pump basin for the underground garage with
a petroleum absorbent system for treating all drainage flows from the automobile parking
areas.
15. Dimension the structural columns and dimensions with respect to parking stalls. Columns
that are on the side of parking spaces are to be clear of vehicle's side door access and should
be at least two feet (T) clear of the rear of the stalls to facilitate maneuvering.
16. Show design of trashroom and indicate size of receptacles, including receptacles for
recycling. Confirm sizes needed with BFI.
17. On the Parking Level Plan and First Floor (Site) Plan, show adjacent site and street
elevations for reference.

system which is to go to the storm drainage system.
Response in May 24, 2005 submittal is acceptable.
19. All building sections need to show site elevations and adjacent site elevations and shown to
scale to give the relationship.
20. The sewer ejection system does not indicate the pit, ventilation, etc. Sewer ejection system
must be on the emergency generator also.
21. Traffic trip generation analysis by a licensed traffic engineer is required for this project.
22. The proposed service access/fire lane as shown on sheet 1 is not acceptable. It appears from
project plans that a turn around area is not available. This condition will require vehicles to
back into Trousdale Drive which will create a significant safety hazard.
23. On sheet D-1 of plans, show the sewer lateral, water service, electrical and gas services to
be disconnected. Show proposed service lines in plans.

2
off/pickup zone is to be constructed as proposed, the lane shall be extended to the corner and
be a dedicated right turn lane onto Ogden Drive to provide for safe maneuvering and
converging traffic. A dedication of right-of-way to the City of Burlingame for the sidewalk
area will be required.
23. The proposed service access/fire lane as shown on sheet 1 is not acceptable. It appears from
project plans that a turn around area is not available. This condition will require vehicles to
back into Trousdale Drive which will create a significant safety hazard.

Staff Review: 03/09/2005
New stormwater control requirements apply to projects of certain size.
Effective 2/15/05, any project that creates 1-acre or more of impervious
surfaces is subject to these requirements. Certain projects are required to
incorporate and implement these specific requirements in order to address the
long-term water quality impacts resulting from the development projects. The
threshold for these requirements will decrease to 10,000 square feet effective
8/15/06.
• Some of the requirements are listed below:
o post -construction permanent stormwater treatment measures that
incorporate, at a minimum, hydraulic sizing design criteria contained in
Provision C.3.;
o identification of the responsible party for the operation and
maintenance of the stormwater controls and requirement of a signed
Operation and Agreement (O&M) with the City;
o incorporation of, as appropriate, site design techniques and source
control measures;
o requirement of stormwater quantity controls to limit increase in peak
stormwater discharge from certain projects that may increase erosion in
creeks (implementation date is not yet known, pending Regional
Board's approval).
For more information about these new requirements, please read the attached
brochure, New Stormwater Control Requirements: What Developers, Builders and
Project Proponents Need to Know.
To find out if your project is required to meet these new requirements, please
fill out the attached NPDES Permit Impervious Surface Data Collection
Worksheet and return to the Planning Department.
• Depending on the size and or the location of the project, there may be state
requirements above and beyond those of the City of Burlingame:
o A project that disturbs a land area of 1 acre or more during construction
needs to obtain coverage (permit) under the State's General Permit for
Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. Visit
www.waterboards.ca.gov for permit instruction.
• Any construction project in the City, regardless of size, shall comply with the
City NPDES permit requirement to prevent stormwater pollution including but
not limited to ensuring that all contractors implement construction Best
Management Practices (BMPs) and erosion and sediment control measures
during ALL phases of the construction project (including demolition).
o If your project has the potential for significant erosion and/or if you plan
construction during the wet season (as defined by the local ordinance),
have you prepared an effective erosion and/or sediment control plan or
similar document and do you plan to implement it prior to the start of
the wet season?
• Brochures and literatures on stormwater pollution prevention and BMPs are
available for your review at the Planning and Building departments. Distribute
to all project proponents.
• For additional assistance, contact Eva J. at 650/342-3727.

Bay and Ocean Friendly
Landscape Design and
Maintenance Techniques
What are Bay/Ocean Friendly Landscape Design and Maintenance Techniques?
Bay/Ocean Friendly landscaping relies on alternative design, plant selection, and maintenance practices that
decrease the need for pesticide applications as well as the amount of water runoff from landscaping. The
quantity of pesticides entering our creeks, the Bay, and Ocean can be reduced by using techniques that:
• Decrease the need for landscape maintenance by designing landscapes
that minimize pest infestation and create low maintenance environments;
• Select plants that are appropriate for local soil, climate, and other conditions;
• Incorporate elements that reduce the potential for the pesticides to run off the lai
• Minimize the amount of impervious surfaces;
• Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to minimize pesticide usage;
Refer to the back of this fact sheet for more design and maintenance tips.
What is Integrated Pest Management?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a decision -making process for managing pests.
IPM relies upon monitoring to determine pest -caused injury levels and the use of a
variety of less toxic methods of pest control. To minimize pesticide usage, IPM uses a
combination of:
• biological controls (e.g., natural enemies or predators);
• physical or mechanical controls (e.g., hand labor or mowing);
• cultural controls (e.g., mulching, discing, or alternative plant type
selection); and
• reduced risk chemical controls (e.g., soaps or oils)
The IPM method uses the least hazardous pesticides only as a last resort for controlling
pests.
There are three steps to Bay/Ocean Friendly Landscaping. They include: Landscape
Design and Drainage, Plant Selection, and Maintenance.
Landscape Design and Drainage
• Design the landscape for efficient: irrigation
and to slow runoff by grading landscape
surfaces to have concave slope instead of
convex slope.
• Design the landscape to conform to natural
drainage patterns.
• Slow stormwater runoff from landscape
areas by:
o Incorporating vegetated buffer strips
or swales next to impervious areas.
o Including micro detention areas in
the runoff path.
• Avoid mosquito breeding by assuring water
is ponded for less than 72 hours.
• Minimize the amount of impervious surfaces
by:
o Designing landscape areas that
support maximum permeability and
infiltration capacity.
o Choosing porous (permeable)
pavements
• Situate plants to facilitate maintenance.
Install mowing strips, tree wells, and
pathway edging to reduce problems
associated with maintaining an interface
between different design elements.
• Incorporate groundcover (mulch,
geotextiles, groundcover plants) in open
areas to reduce weeds and erosion.
Plant Selection
Choose . and retain existing native, pest -
resistant trees, shrubs, and plants.
Select pest -resistant plants adapted to your
specific area. Consider site -specific
characteristics such as soil, topography,
climate (amount and timing of sunlight,
prevailing winds, rainfall, and air
movements), patterns of land use, and plant
interaction.
• Group plants with similar irrigation needs and
other site -specific requirements together.
• Select plants that can improve the infiltration of
water such as deep-rooted plants.
• Provide plants that have larger canopy areas to
minimize impact of raindrops on soil; thus,
reducing erosion.
• Eliminate the need for routine pruning by
selecting plants based on their size and shape
when mature.
• Minimize turf areas to conserve water.
Maintenance
• Maintain healthy soils by incorporating organic
matter, making regular pH adjustments, and
aerating regularly.
• Prune to increase air circulation but do not over
prune.
• Regularly repair eroded or damaged surface
areas and replace problem plants with locally
adapted, pest -resistant plants.
• Employ non -toxic IPM methods (biological,
physical, and cultural controls) before using
pesticides to treat a pest problem.
• If pesticides are necessary, use the least toxic
pesticide available:
o Do not over apply pesticides. Follow
the manufacturer's instruction for
mixing and applying materials.
o Avoid application of any pesticide if
rain is forecasted.
Properly dispose of pesticides by recycling,
reusing, or disposing as hazardous waste. For

Stormwater Quantity controls
Creek beds and banks can become unstable
when the rate and volume of runoff increase,
as often occurs when open land is developed.
In the past, these effects have been addressed
by replacing natural creeks with engineered
channels, leading to excessive sedimentation
and other problems. To help prevent this,
projects in some areas will be required to
retain, detain or infiltrate runoff, or help fund
regional solutions.
What about Group 2?
The Group 2 definition is the same as the
Group 1 definition, except that the size
threshold is reduced from one acre to 10,000
square feet of impervious surface.' Projects
consisting of one single family home are
excluded from Group 2. Beginning August
15, 2006, the requirements for Group 1
projects will apply to Group 2 projects.
What about Other Projects?
After Group 1 and Group 2 requirements
phase in, projects that are not in Group 1 and
Group 2 will still have to use construction
BMI's and implement appropriate site design
and source control measures.
What Am I Required to Do Now?
Projects are currently required to use con-
struction BMPs, and to implement appropriate
site design and source control measures to
reduce post -construction stormwater impacts.
Stormwater treatment measures are also
required, as appropriate, if sufficient site
planning measures are not implemented or
feasible.
See amended permit for detaiLs of Group 1 and Group 2 definitions.

*w*WA*vs0t Stormwater Pollution
.>:. Prevention Program
It's Federal Law
Urban stormwater runoff is a significant
source of pollution to the nation's waters. In
1987 Congress began to address this problem
by requiring municipal stormwater programs
to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimi-
nation System (NPDES) permits. This re-
sulted in local requirements for runoff from
development projects.
The Countywide Program
In San Mateo County, development projects
must comply with the NPDES permit issued to
the San Mateo Countywide Pollution Preven-
tion Program (STOPPP) by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board. In 1993
STOPPP received its first NPDES permit,
which was amended in 2003 with substantial
new requirements for development projects.
How It Works Locally
Local agencies are required to address
stormwater quality during development re-
view. Projects must use best management
practices (BMPs) during construction. And
long-term water quality impacts must be
reduced using site design and source control
measures to help keep pollutants out of
stormwater. In some cases, projects must also
use stormwater treatment measures.
Site Design for Water Quality
Some of the many ways to reduce water
pollution through site design include:
• Reduce impervious surfaces.
• Drain rooftop downspouts to splash blocks
or "bubble ups."
• Use landscaping as a storm drainage and
What is Source Control?
Source control is all about preventing pollu-
tion at the source. Source control measures include:
• Roofed trash enclosures
• Sanitary sewer drains for covered parking
structures (in coordination with the local
sewer district)
• Indoor mat/equipment washracks connected
to the sanitary sewer
What's Required during Construction?
Many contractors are familiar with BMPs that
are required at project sites, including:
• Prepare and implement sediment and erosion
control plans.
• Minimize exposed soil by stabilizing slopes.
• Control runoff from site by using sand bag
barriers or straw wattles.
Projects that disturb one acre or more of land are
subject to an NPDES General Permit and must
submit a "Notice of Intent" to the State Water
Resources Control Board.
What Is Changing?
STOPPP's reissued permit requires municipali-
ties to expand their site design and source
control standards. It also includes specific
requirements for projects that meet "Group 1"
and "Group 2" criteria Dates for implementa-
tion are shown in the table.

Is My Project in "Group 1 "? . .
Group 1 projects include new development
and redevelopment projects that create or
replace one acre or more of impervious
surface (e.g., roof area, streets, sidewalks,
parking lots).' As of February 15, 2005, new
requirements will apply to Group 1 projects.
Group 1 Requirements
In addition to construction BMPs, site design,
and source control, Group 1 projects will need
to include stormwater treatment measures.
And, in areas where increased runoff flow and
volume may cause increased creek erosion,
projects will need to control the quantity of
stormwater runoff. Contact your local
stonnwater program to see if your project area
is subject to stormwater quantity controls.
Stormwater Treatment Measures
Stormwater treatment measures are facilities
designed to remove pollutants before
stormwater reaches the storm drain system,
and ultimately the Bay. Examples include:
• Vegetated wwales,
• Detention basins,
• Infiltration basins.
Treatment measures must be hydraulically
sized to treat a specified amount of runoff.
And they need ongoing maintenance to con-
tinue working properly and avoid creating
places for mosquitoes to breed. During
development review, applicants must identify
and record the party responsible and funding
mechanism for long-term maintenance and
assure access to the treatment system to verify
maintenance.
