PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL FOR SPECIAL PERMITS AND PARKING VARIANCE FOR
DRAPERY SHOP AND DRY CLEANERS AT 1501 EL CAMINO REAL - PLANNING COM-
MISSION DENIAL UPHELD
City Planner reviewed her memo of June 22 which recommended council hold a public hearing and
take action. The applicant is requesting to build a 2,525 SF retail commercial structure for two
businesses at this address. One business would be a 884 SF dry cleaning agency (no dry cleaning
on site) and the second would be a 1,641 SF drapery/window covering shop. Under the zoning
conditions of this parcel, a use permit is required for every business. Total customers for both
stores is projected to be 18 per day, increasing to 25 it five years. The proposed plans show eight
parking spaces between the building and El Camino Real. A parking variance for seven spaces is
requested because six of the parking spaces are located in the 20 foot setback on El Camino Real.
There will be two driveways, one off Adeline and one off El Camino. The 20 foot setback is
required along El Camino to insure that structures are not placed so close that the street cannot be
widened. There are no plans to widen El Camino at this time, however, if a right hand turn lane
tBl
were ever added at Adeline the dimension of the parking spaces would be affected. The planning
commission voted to deny the requests at its June 13 meeting. The applicants appealed to council.
Councilwoman Knight asked about when the zoning change was adopted and whether Chevron (the
property owners) was notified of the change; she discussed location of driveways. City Planner
reviewed the history of the zoning change and discussed the conditions, including requirements for
the Adeline Market site.
Mayor O'Mahony opened the public hearing. Councilman Pagliaro noted the presence of a court
reporter. Bob Vasquez, representing property owner, said he was advised by legal counsel to have
a court reporter record the action. Vasquez said the driveway on El Camino could be eliminated.
He distributed six lengthy documents regarding city action on similar projects. The variance is to
allow them to park on the setback, he noted the state does not intend to widen El Camino and the
city has designated the trees along El Camino as historically significant. Many properties along El
Camino use the setback for parking and if the street were widened some of these properties would
not be able to access their parking. His building is set back almost 40 feet, they have eliminated the
two story concept, tried to remove all objections to previous proposals for this site. He introduced
the prospective business owner and the architect. P Sadigh, businessman, said he has a similar
business in Belmont and has over 20 customers from Burlingame. Jack Matthews, architect, showed
slides of many buildings on El Camino which use front setback for parking or for driveways to
underground garages. He planned a one story building set back from street; showed plans and
drawings of proposed building. Councilman Pagliaro asked the business owner how many
customers he had each day in Belmont. Sadigh replied about 25.
Mrs. Daggett, Mrs. Kirchner, Gregory Tancer, Chris Shaw, Daren Schofield, Mamora Terrill, and
Susan Towle spoke in opposition. They noted traffic problems at the intersection, thought it was a
dangerous inteisection, children walk to schools in area, buses stop in front of site. Wanted to see a
p*ri b.rilt on site; houses across the street are English architecture and this building would not blend
into area; there is already a dry cleaner in shopping center there and number of customers proposed
by developer is not realistic; customers would park on residential streets and in shopping center lot;
developer tried to get the dry cleaner that is already in shopping center to break his lease. Two
speakeis presented petitions in opposition. Terrill, Adeline Shopping Center owner, said there is
already a dry cleaner in her center; she had heard that the applicant had suggested her tenant break
the lease; she noted her tenant dry cleaner would not be seen from street if this building were built;
she was concerned about impact of this proposal on parking in the shopping center; regarding her
purchasing the subject properfy, she said she could not expose herself to the liability for cleanup of
the site for gasoline leaks from former gas station.
Bob Vasquez rebutted, stating the immediate area is a neighborhood retail shopping area and the
proposed use is appropriate for the site; proposal would have same value as any business has to a
community; as far as design, they could make it Engtish architectural character to satisfy neighbors;
willing to work with city, open to suggestions; Mrs. Terrill wanted to sell her shopping center and
they made an offer but her price was too high; best thing would be to merge the two parcels; he
noted they have been trying to sell the site for four years; said any street widening would affect any
type of use at the site. Council asked why they would put another cleaner in close proximity to the
esiablished dry cleaner. Vasquez said competition is good for business. The hearing was closed.
Councilman Pagliaro reviewed the prior history of site, as far as he knows this site only came
before council once before; the proposed use is reasonable; citizens must understand that the
property owner must be allowed use of his property; he was concerned the project was too large,
182
might impact parking and worried about egress, should eliminate the El Camino driveway; would
favor giving the applicant the oppornrnity to come back to council with smaller proposal.
Councilwoman Knight recalled the previous proposals for this site; even though the state may never
widen El Camino, the city might want to install a right turn lane which would affect parking at site;
felt the customer count for the dry cleaner was wrong; when neighbors mentioned hope for a park
there, they did not envision a playground, but a passive park; she determined there was a safety
issue with the egress onto Adeline or El Camino and the aesthetics, mass and bulk are detrimental to
neighborhood. Councilman Harrison agreed, although he sympathized with Pagliaro; he thought a
passive park could be on the city's wish list in the future. Councilman Spinelli lived a few blocks
from site, could see Pagliaro's point, but the project proposed is too bulky; he hated to see parking
on the setback; perhaps if they realign the building to the north end of site and shrink the size would
need less parking variance. Mayor O'Mahony said the only way she could approve the project were
if it were smaller and parking were entered by an easement from Adeline Market parking lot, there
are too many driveways into center. Councilwoman Knight moved to uphold the planning
commission denial because of reasons stated. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harrison
and carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL FOR AMENDMENTS TO CONDITIONS FOR PARKING
VARIANCE AT 1420 BURLINGAME AVENUE - RESOLUTION 42-94 APPROVING SAME
City Planner reviewed her memo of June 24 which recommended council hold a public hearing and
take action. Maurice Hack, representing Boardwalk Properties, is requesting an amendment to the
43 space parking variance granted in 1991. The change would eliminate the conditionprohibiting
food establishments on the first floor. The 43 space parking variance was granted to convert the
two upper floors from storage to office use, and to extend the existing 3,030 SF mezzanine 1,791
SF. The building is unreinforced masonry (URM) and the changes were requested in 1991 in order
to make the seismic retrofit of the URM building financially feasible. In 1991 the applicant offered
not to replace the two restaurants after retrofit to reduce the parking impact. The present request is
to allow the continuation of the two 2,572 SF eating establishments on the ffust floor after the
seismic retrofit. If either restaurant were to be made larger, it would require a use permit. She
also noted that granting this request would restart the clock on the parking variance. The seismic
retrofit ordinance requires that he get a building permit in 1995 and complete construction by June
1996. Council received a letter today from Norman Book, attorney for Hack, stating that the
applicant has been attempting to locate non-restaurant tenants, but has failed to procure a user with
financial statements attractive to a lender; additionally, he has several prospective tenants with
strong financial statements which are all food establishments. He offered to eliminate the proposed
addition to the mezzarine if council is willing to continue the existing restaurant use on the ground
floor, this would reduce the parking variance needed for the office spaces from 44 to 37. Council-
man Pagliaro noted this is a necessary URM repair and asked if council could make condition that
building permit be required by 1995. Staff responded yes.
Mayor O'Mahony opened the public hearing. Norman Book, attorney for applicant, summarized his
letter and stated the applicant would reduce the mezzanine by 1,700 SF. Councilman Harrison said
he heard the building was for sale. Councilman Pagliaro wondered if applicant would agree to a
condition that the exterior not be changed. Sam Malouf, merchant, stated his support of the request;
noted the building is important to the appearance of the Avenue; urged council to assist this owner.
Maurice Hack noted his objection to some statements made at planning commission meeting which
might jeopardize sale of building; he noted they had gone through much expense in developing these
plans; that they preserved the front of the structure but changed and improved the appearance of the
t83
rear; there are several nationally recognized restaurant chains interested in the building; they are
also considering a joint venture to maintain and preserve this building. The hearing was closed.
Mayor O'Mahony recalled the 1992 council action; the building must be seismically retrofitted, it is
a charming building we want to keep on the Avenue; she had no objection to the restaurants staying
Hack commented about facade on Chapin side of building. Councilman Pagliaro discussed with
staff the retention of the right to have a food establishment when the site is vacant; staff noted if the
space is being remodeled or being advertised for rent for the same use the right to a food establish-
ment is retained. Councilman Pagliaro said council is urging repair of the URM buildings, this
building is historically important; he moved to overturn the planning commission and go along with
the reduction of the size of the mezzarine as described in Norman Book's letter dated July 5, 1994.
Motion seconded by Councilman Harrison with additional condition that the front exterior on
Burlingame Avenue remain the same. Councilman Spinelli asked if the variance was extended until
January !995, he would like to see these repairs done as quickly as possible because of earthquake
dangers. The applicants indicated they would make every effort to comply. Councilwoman Knight
recalled the 1992 action and her wish to deny without prejudice; but noted with reduction of
mezzarine size, she was agreeable to request. The motioncarried unanimously by roll call vote.
There was discussion of time limits on restaurant permits and need for future study in September'
MAP FOR A FOUR UNIT CONDOMINIUM AT 1128 CHULA VISTA
City planner reviewed her memo of June 27 which recommended council hold a public hearing and
take action. Paul Gumbinger, architect representing Boreal/Poplar Developments, is requesting to
build a four unit residential condominium at 1128 Chula Vista, zoned C-1 Broadway Commercial
Area. All condominium guidelines have been met. Previous projects proposed for this site have
been commercial on the first floor with residential on second floor but none have been approved.
The developer undertook studies which determined all-residential was the most viable, this would
require u .harg" in zoning and a general plan amendment. Since this lot is adjacent to R-3 zoning
and parking is provided on site, there would be no detrimental effects. The planning commission
recommended council approve these requests at its June 13 meeting.
Mayor O'Mahony opened the public hearing. Paul Gumbinger, architect, explained the project
meets residential condominium requirements and the applicant accepts all conditions for approval;
previously proposed building on site was built to lot line because of the first floor commercial use,
new building will have maximum landscaping and parking. Councilman Pagliaro asked about
exterior finish, was pleased to see plan was not a flat rectangle. The hearing was closed.
Councilman Harrison moved to approve the Negative Declaration with appropriate findings, to adopt
RESOLUTION 43-94 Approving General Plan Amendment, to introduce ORDINANCE 1506
Changing Zorung from C-l to R-3, to grant a condominium permit with conditions in staff report,
and to approve the tentative map for the four unit condominium project at ll28 Chula Vista.
Seconded by Councilman Pagliaro and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
POSTPONE HEARING FOR 1209-1211 BAYSWATER
A letter from Tim Brosnan, Pacific Properties, requested this hearing be poslponed until the next
meeting. Mayor O'Mahony set the hearing to July 18, 1994.
lBr
PUBLIC HEARING - SECOND READING - ORDINANCE 1504 - ALLOWING TEMPORARY
RELOCATION OF FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS FROM URM BUILDINGS
City Attorney reviewed his memo of June 10 which recommended council hold a public hearing and
take action. In June 1994 council discussed the issue of restaurants in the Burlingame Avenue and
Broadway areas which may need to temporarily relocate while URM work is being done to their
buildings. Council directed an amendment to city code which would allow council to grant a permit
for temporary relocation while retaining the limit on the number of restaurants. Council may apply
whatever conditions necessary in each situation to assure the restaurant moves back when work is
done. The ordinance expires on January l, 1995, the deadline for submitting plans for URM work.
Mayor O'Mahony opened the public hearing. Gary Cohen,347 Primrose, said he was involved in
several of the URM projects; he urged council to take each project case by case; what would happen
if a restaurant wanted to expand. Staff said it would need a use permit. The hearing was closed.
Councilman Pagliaro moved adoption of ORDINANCE 1504. Seconded by Councilman Harrison
and carried unanimously on roll call vote.
PUBLIC HEARING - SECOND READING - ORDINANCE 1505 - REVISING TAXI INSUR-
City Attorney reviewed his memo of June 15 which recommended council hold public hearing and
take action. This ordinance makes two changes to our taxi ordinance; to conform insurance
language in the code to our actual insurance requirements and to prohibit hotel employees from
giving preference to certain taxi, limousine or shuttle operators in exchange for gratuities. After
preparation of the staff report, he heard from Harry Young, union representative of hotel employ-
ees, who suggested some changes in the ordinance.
Mayor O'Mahony opened the public hearing. Harry Young said the real problem is with taxi
companies, not limo, bus or shuttle services. He recommended deleting those businesses from the
ordinance. He explained that hotel employees are low-paid and depend on gratuities which are part
of the business contract with the limo and bus companies. There may have been some problems
with taxis; he recommended the ordinance prohibit any kickbacks for cab drivers. Dan, a cab driver
for Luxor, was representing cab drivers; he said some bellmen are giving long, favorable trips to
certain cab companies in exchange for tips; he said passengers are kept waiting for that cab
company when another cab is readily available; he noted some hotels have cracked down on this.
There was lengthy discussion. Young said he was working with hotels and would notify them, as
would staff.
Councilman Harrison moved adoption of ORDINANCE 1505 with changes in wording to delete the
limo, bus and shuttle companies. Seconded by Councilwoman Ifuight and carried unanimously by
roll call vote.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Ken Hoffman,755 Winchester, explained and distributed flyers regarding his "Mr. Buddy" show for
children. There was a five minute break and council reconvened at 10:15 p.m.

BART RESPONSE TO CITY'S REOUEST FOR DOCTJMENTS
City Attorney reviewed his memo of June 30 with attached letter from BART attorney John
Vickland. Vickland suggests council wait until after the release of the EIR (mid July) so that it can
better focus on the documents it wishes to review. Mayor O'Mahony favored waiting for the EIR;
she noted the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors had introduced a draft resolution in support
of Caltrain with access to BART and the airport and recommending no public agency support a
BART only station. She thanked council members for efforts with the council/BART meeting held
recently. Councilman Pagliaro wanted to review BART documents; suggested he and the City
Attorney visit BART on Friday for this review. Councilwoman Knight wondered if council needed
help in reviewing and arrrlyzing the EIR. Mayor O'Mahony said the greatest interest would be the
financial portion. Council discussed CCAG and the MOU, and getting cities consensus on this
matter. Councilwoman Knight said she got a call from Supervisor Griffin regarding this issue,
Griffin suggested city could make an impression on the Board by signing the MOU. Councilman
Harrison asked staff to put the MOU on the next agenda. Councilman Spinelli suggested council
members speak to the various transportation boards.
RECARE REOUEST TO USE CITY PARKING LOT
City Manager reviewed his memo of June 27 with attached letter from Recare requesting use of
faiting fot g at Ralston and El Camino for a flea market and boutique on September 10, 1994.
Council should consider this request; he noted neighbors of the lot have not been informed; he
suggested the lot on Chapin might be better but it did not have the exposure that El Camino had.
Councilwoman Knight said this request might be a way to determine use in light of possibly using
the lot for relocation of the library during reconstruction. Councilmen Spinelli and Pagliaro feared
setting a precedent, did not favor request. Council concurred in rejecting the request.
RESOLUTION 44-94 - MAKING DETERMINATION OF PROPERTY TAX EXCHANGE FOR
ANNEXATION OF 1225 ARMSBY BURLINGAME TO TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH
City Manager reviewed his memo of June 27 which recommended council approve this resolution to
transfer the city portion of the property tax ($1,853.75) from Burlingame to Hillsborough. In
October lgg2, council approved inconceptthe reorganization of 1225 Armsby from Burlingame to
Hillsborough; Hillsborough later rejected the request. With the acquisition of a piece of land
adjacent to the street right of way in that city, Hillsborough has now approved the transfer and this
resolution will begin the process of annexation. Councilwoman Knight asked about the sewer and
water service; staff noted sewer service would still be provided by Burlingame, but water would be
transferred to Hillsborough.
Councilman Harrison moved approval of RESOLUTION 44-94. Seconded by Councilman Spinelli
and carried unanimously by voice vote.
LEAF BLOWERS
City Attorney reviewed his memo of June 29 which asked council to consider this issue and direct
staff. In May council discussed this issue and asked staff to research the possibility of limiting leaf
flowers to specific list of models which meet a decibel maximum of 75 DBA. Since that time Park
Director discussed with manufacturers and it is staff's conclusion that this is not a feasible option.
Council has the option of (1) banning all leaf blowers either throughout the city or in some zones;
(2) limiting blowers to 75 dba but we would have to invest in a decibel meter and determine which
186
department will enforce; or (3) further restrict hours of use or zones of use. Council discussed with
staff, Park Director noted the new machines are quieter.
Council said at a study meeting it had directed that an ordinance be prepared to restrict the hours for
professional gardeners to weekdays in residential zones. Staff will prepare such an ordinance.
ANTENNAS
City Attorney reviewed his memo of June 27 which recommended council direct staff. Last year
council had considerable discussion of dish antennas which was generated by code enforcement
action on two such antennas at 625 Burlingame Avenue (a single family home) and at 121,6
Floribunda (a condominium). During a hearing on a proposed antenna ordinance revision,
representatives of these owners argued the city had little control over installation of dish antennas,
that our ordinance would not stand up in court and we must allow properties to have dish antenna.
The city attorney requested a study from Hammett & Edison, consulting engineers in the television
industry, that determined the maximum size dish antenna necessary in Burlingame is seven feet in
diameter. Council asked the city attorney and the property representatives to develop more specific
criteria in the area of aesthetics and about the proposed mandatory reception study to be performed
by the property owners. The city attorney has been unable to get any suggestions from the property
representatives but he has worked with the city planner in further refining a proposed ordinance.
He suggested council either introduce this ordinance or set it for further study. He noted there have
been no requests for residential dish antenna recently. Council directed this issue be put on the
September study meeting agenda.
CANCELLATION OF STUDY MEETING
Council concurred on cancellation of the July 20 study meeting as recorlmended by the City
Manager's memo of Jurc 27.
PROJECT READ
Council reviewed the City Librarian's memo of June 28 with attached letters from K.G. Ouye
outlining the program, and a letter in support of the program from the President of the Library
Board, Shirley Robertson.
Council discussed where funds would come from and staff responded there was $1,000 left
unallocated from community funding. Councilman Harrison moved approval of a donation of
$3,000 to Project Read, $1,000 from unallocated community funds and $2,000 from contingency
reserves. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Regarding "a" Councilman Pagliaro asked what would happen if all council members were
incapacitated during an emergency. Councilwoman Knight asked about the cost of resurfacing the
school parking lot in the contract for Franklin School field repairS, "b," and also about the fencing;
she also noted that she has always voted against anything to do with the Chula Vista parking lot but
she did not want to infer rejection of the contractor or staff work, so she would vote in favor.

FOR SUCCESSION OF CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTOR
City Manager's memo of June 27 recommended council adopt this ordinance. During budget
discussions council expressed concern about its role during disasters. In reviewing the code,
the disaster council membership only includes the mayor and does not clearly provide for

disaster council of the full council and a method of determining its chairman. The city
manager is designated the director of emergency services and the assistant director is the fire
chief. In the event neither of these persons are available, the duties would be assumed by
the police chief, public works director, or a senior officer from fire, police or public works.
