ING R
SERVICE AT 346 LORTON - DENIED
City Planner reviewed her memo of June 8 which recommended council hold a public hearing and
take action. Ron Avenida is requesting a special permit for take-out food in order to open a retail
juice bar at 346 I-orton. The primary product is a drink made of fresh juice, frozen yogurt and
fruit. All drinks will be sold for take-out; there will be a counter but no tables and chairs in the
store. The business is proposed to be open 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m. weekends. There would be a maximum of two employees on site at any one time. He
expects 100 customers a day initially, increasing to 150 in five years. He expects 8 to 10 people in
the shop at one time including the employees. He estimates only 15 to 20 percent of his customers
will drive to the site. The applicant undertook a parking survey during his peak hours, finding little
parking available from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., this survey was confirmed by the traffic engineer's
survey. The Plaruring Commission approved the application with conditions, including policing the
area for trash, at its May 8 meeting. She noted another letter received from the applicant dated
June 15. Mayor Knight explained the reason she called this application up for review by council
was because she felt strongly about the existing parking and traffic problems in the area; council
recently turned down another restaurant for this same site; several take-out food sites with outside
seating have evolved into restaurants; she thought it important that council look at anything that
might impact traffic and parking in this area.
Mayor Knight opened the public hearing. Ron Avenida, applicant, and his partner, explained that
his business would be dependent on walk-in traffic and impulse buying; he did not expect his
business would be a destination restaurant; they did not plan any seating irside. Councilman
Harrison asked if they would object to a condition that there be no tables and chairs anywhere on
34i
the site including on the sidewalk. The applicants said if council desired that condition they would
accept it, though they might have wanted to put tables and chairs outside. Council questioned their
figures on amount of driving and walk-in customers; determined this is not a franchise; applicant
worked at a similar business in Palo Alto and made these marketing assumptions based on that
business. The hearing was closed.
Mayor Knight said she would like to have these two young men doing business in Burlingame, but
not at this site; another food service is not appropriate in this area; she would support a motion to
deny the permit because it would be detrimental to the public health and welfare. Councilman
Spinelli said if the Mayor had not called this project up for rcview, he would have called it up;
agreed these are really nice young men, but 100 customers per day is too much for this area;
another take-out with resultant trash in the area would be too much. Vice Mayor Pagliaro felt bad
about turning this down; council has probably "given away the store" in the area with all the
parking variances. Councilman Harrison said it appeared there were three votes against this
business, but personally he did not see a problem with such a business if there was a condition that
there be no tables and chairs; this is unique business and did not imagine people would drive to it.
He moved to uphold the Planning Commission approval with conditions and additional condition of
no tables and chairs. Seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony, who stated she liked the condition of
no inside or outside tables and chairs, but would not support the motion because she thought
purchases based on impulse are not going to be taken home. The motion failed l-4 on roll call vote,
Councilman Harrison being the only favorable vote. Councilman Spinelli then moved to deny the
application. Seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony and carried 4-1 on roll call vote, Councilman
Harrison voting no.
N 47-95 N LIMIT F
1995-96 FISCAL AND AMENDING THE APPROPRIATION FOR THE 1993-94
City Manager reviewed his memo of May 3 which recommended council hold a public hearing and
take action. Each year, as part of the budget process, council adopts an appropriation limit pursuant
to Article XIII@) of the California Constitution. The process by which the limit is determined is
audited by KPMG Peat Marwick as part of the arurual audit. During the 1993-94 audit, the auditors
found a calculation error and recommended a higher limit than that adopted by council. Cities may
modify their limits, but in so doing, must recalculate and readopt the limit for each succeeding year.
In this case, the 1993-94 and 1994-95 limits must be changed to conform with the recommendation
of the auditors. The new limit for 1995-96 has been prepared using the revised numbers and can be
adopted for the first time. He responded to Councilwoman O'Mahony's questions regarding the
formula for calculations.
Mayor Knight opened the public hearing. There were no comments and the hearing was closed.
Councilwoman O'Mahony moved adoption of RESOLUfiON 47-95. Seconded by Councilman
Harrison and carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION 48-95 PTING THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR

percent; capital improvements is up 66 percent. The total budget is up 18.5 percent over last year.
Mayor Knight opened the public hearing. There were no comments and the hearing was closed.
Councilwoman O'Mahony moved adoption of RESOLUTION 48-95. Seconded by Councilman
Harrison and carried unanimously.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Stan Vistica stated he was interested in applying for the opening on the Plarmiag Commission and
wanted to know the selection process. The mayor noted council would be discussing this issue later
and hoped he could stay.
ENCROACHMENT PERMIT FOR FENCE IN RIGHT-OF-WAY A T 70 VERNON - CONTIN-I
UED FROM LAST MEETING - APPROVED
Public \Yorks Director reviewed his memo of May 3l which recommended council approve the
permit. Theresa Early, applicant, had acquired a building permit to build a fence on her own
property. The fence was instead built 8 inches from the sidewalk 1'4' into the city right-of-way.
The fence varies in height from three to seven feet. The fence at this location does not interfere
with city utilities, however staff was concerned that the 7 foot fence adjacent to the driveway would
block view of pedestrians when a car was backing out. Public Works Director recommended
council approve the request with the condition the fence sections adjacent to the driveway be
lowered to 3' height or the fence be moved back to the property line for 8' on either side of the
driveway. At the meeting of lune 5 the applicant objected to that condition but since that time she
has moved the fence back to the property line 8 feet on either side of the driveway as the condition
recommended. At the June 5 meeting the applicant also questioned some other properties which had
fences which appear to be built in the right-of-way; staff investigated each and responded in a
supplemental staff report to council dated June 14. Director noted the applicant said she would not
attend this meeting. Councilman Harrison moved approval of the encroachment permit with
conditions. Seconded by Councilman Spinelli and carried unanimously.
CONSIDER CONVERSION OF DONNELLY TO ONE-WAY AND CHANGING TIME LIMITS
IN PARKING LOTS C AND D
Public Works Director reviewed his memo of June 12 which recommended council review proposal
to make Donnelly a one-way street from Lorton to Primrose and consider the TSP Commission
recommendation to convert 14 four-hour meters in I,ot D and 22 ten-hour meters in I-ot C to two-
hour meters. He noted the Burlingame Avenue streetscape study was being considered and included
a traffic/parking component. The TSP Commission voted against making Donnelly one-way after
holding a public hearing at which 2l merchants, residents and employees spoke against the proposal,
the commission did recommend converting the meters to two-hour in l,ots C and D.
343
Councilwoman O'Mahony thought it prudent to add these considerations to the streetscape and
parking study. She did not believe Donnelly should be one-way; it would make difficulties at both
Primrose and [orton. Councilman Spinelli agreed about putting off action until the study is done,
noted his surprise at opposition of merchants to making Donnelly one-way. Vice Mayor Pagliaro
remarked on the comment in staff report about "some indication that people are feeding meters. "
He was interested in knowing how pervasive this practice was. We had talked about adding a meter
enforcement officer at budget time; he asked the Police Chief about this. Police Chief said they
don't mark tires regularly; occasionally will write down license numbers. Vice Mayor Pagliaro
approved of changing time limits in I,ot D, but thought other issues could wait for study. Council-
man Harrison related he had heard nothing but negative corffnents about changing the direction of
Donnelly. Mayor Knight agreed merchants want us to do something about four-hour meters, she
would like to change l.ot D to two-hour meters and wait on other issues for the study, including
Donnelly one-way, since we would gain parking. She mentioned that in 1969 the city changed
Donnelly to one-way and it didn't work, they changed it back to two-way in six months.
Councilman Harrison asked to have enforcement officer mark tires in Lot D to see about meter
feeding. Councilman Spinelli mentioned a time-lapse camera which took pictures of parking lots
every few minutes to show meter feeding and tumover of cars. Staff will look into availability and
cost of such a camera. Councilwoman O'Mahony thought the Lorton area should be included in the
study. Councilman Harrison moved to take no action on Donnelly or parking and to include all in
the streetscape/parking study. Seconded by Councilman Spinelli and carried unanimously.
Councilman Harrison asked the police to start measuring meter feeding in Lpt D.
H ARD
Police Chief reviewed the City Attorney's memo of May 25 which recommended council grant an
,rmusement permit for 90 day period to Grandview Restaurant, 1107 Howard. The applicant wishes
to provide Karaoke entertainment from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. He suggested the entertainment
cease at 1:30 a.m. so that it is over before the usual closing time. He listed standard conditiors.
The applicant was not present. Vice Mayor Pagliaro asked if there was a parking lot behind this
establishment that might offer a buffer for noise. Police responded yes there is a lot with residential
next to it.
There were no public cornments. Councilman Harrison moved to grant the permit for a 90 day
period with conditions as recommended. Seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony and carried 4-1 on
roll call vote, Mayor Knight voting no because of her concern about the noise near residential uses.
ANNUAL REVIEW OF AMUSEMENT PERMITS
Police Chief reviewed the City Attorney's memo of June 6 which recommended council renew
Golden China for 90 days, Bobby McGee's and Mr. K's for six months, and all other permits for
one year. Annually in June we review all amusement permits granted in the city and determine if
there are any problem establishments. The police department reported on all calls for service to
these establishments. Bobby McGee's has improved but we still get a number of calls; he recom-
mended renewal for six months with the same conditions previously required, including hiring two
off-duty police officers for additional security. Police Chief noted a letter received from Perfor-
mance Restaurants, owner of Bobby McGee's, requesting a shorter review time in order to remove
the requirement for hiring police officers. Mr. K's has similarly improved, he recommended the
same conditions and review in six months. Golden Chiru's problem appears to be noise complaints;
it is located next to a residential area and should not cause such problems with just Karaoke; he
344
recommended the permit be renewed for only 90 days and if the noise complaints continue we
would recommend revocation.
Bobbv McGee's - Councilman Harrison said he had no problem allowing 90 day review for Bobby
McGee's. Mark lrach, manager of Bobby McGee's, said the business had made changes and
improved greafly; he was disappointed that the city was recommending six months renewal with
same conditions; they hoped to remove the requirement to hire police officers which is a great
expeme for the business; he reviewed the security personnel, ABC and leads classes his employees
attended, changes in music and dress codes. kach said it is a great financial burden and he would
like the opportunity to prove that they can control the business without outside intervention. Police
Chief agreed the city tends to be overcautious and that police officers working there face greater
exposure to danger; agreed some of the calls may be related to the hotel and not the restaurant; he
had no objection to a shorter period. Council discussed allowing removal of the police officer
requirement for 90 days to see how it goes. Councilman Spinelli moved to grant renewal of Bobby
McGee's amusement permit for a 90 day trial period with removal of the requirement for hiring two
police officers. Seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony and carried unanimously.
Mr. K's Cabaret - The business owner was present. Councilman Harrison moved approval of the
amusement permit for six months with same conditions. Seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony
and carried unanimously.
Golden China - The business was not represented at the meeting. Councilwoman O'Mahony said
this establishment has continuous problems and would like to see a 30 day review, they need a
severe warning. Vice Mayor Pagliaro said he was ready to revoke the permit, in the past two week
period they had four complaints. Councilman Harrison asked about closing time requirement, staff
responded they are required to stop entertainment at 1:30 a.m. Councilman Spinelli said there are a
number of apartments and large number of people living near this establishment; he moved to
revoke the permit. Seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony. City Manager and Acting City
Attorney reviewed revocation procedure, we need to give the business notice and hold a revocation
hearing; once a permit is issued the business has "due process" rights. The motion was dropped '
Councilman Spinelli moved to give the revocation notice and hold a hearing July 6. Seconded by
Councilwoman O'Mahony and carried unanimously.
Behan's Irish Pub - Vice Mayor Pagliaro noted a number of calls to this establishment, he would
prefer to see a six month review time. Vice Mayor Pagliaro moved to review this permit in six
months. Seconded by Councilman Harrison and carried unanimously.
Remaininq Permits - Vice Mayor Pagliaro then moved approval of renewal of the remaining
amusement permits for a one-year period: Benihana, California Bar & Grill, Caribbean Gardens,
Charley Brown's, El Torito, Holiday Inn, Hyatt Regency, Empress Court Penthouse, Tuberose,
Fisherman, Route 66, Moon Mcshane's, Radisson Hotel, Dicey Riley's, Marriott Hotel, and Max's
Opera Cafe. Seconded by Councilman Spinelli and carried unanimously.
INTRODUCTI N OF ORDINANCE 1527 WING SMOKING IN C IN AREAS OF
MEDICAL AND RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES
City Manager reviewed the City Attorney's memo of May 16 which recommended council introduce
an ordinance to allow smoking in medical and residential care facilities. In May council heard a
request from Mills-Peninsula Hospitals concerning the need to allow smoking in mental health and
chemical dependency areas. Our current ordinance does not allow smoking in any health care
34s
facilities. In order to accommodate the hospital's request, we must add to our ordinance's
exceptions. This proposed ordinance adds one exception for medical facilities and another for
residential care facilities. The wording is identical to the new state smoking law which allows such
exceptions. About a year ago, council received a request for an smoking exception in residential
care facilities and took no action on that request. He assumed council would want to consider both
types of facilities. Councilman Spinelli noted he would abstain from any discussion or vote.
Councilman Harrison moved to introduce ORDINANCE 1527. Seconded by Councilwoman
O'Mahony. Council discussed at length: concern about adding long term care facilities, is this
same as state law; there is no mention of the elaborate air filtration system at the hospital for the
proposed smoking rooms which goes way beyond what the state law requires; would like it spelled
out in the ordinance; would like revisions to ordinance. Acting City Attorney believed required air
filtration and exchange was described in state law; said council might want to delay introduction of
the ordinance. The motion to introduce carried 4-0-1, Councilman Spinelli abstaining.
CONSIDERATION OF EXTENDING HOURS OF SERVICE FOR PLANNING AND BUILDING
DEPARTMENTS
City Planner reviewed her memo of Iune 9 which recommended council review the staff analysis
and decide if council would like staff to undertake a pilot program of extended counter hours. At
the joint Council/Planning Commission meeting in April it was suggested staff look into how we
might extend office hours to better accommodate the public. She suggested two ways to do this:
extend hours two days a week, or stay open late one night a week. Council needs to decide who the
customers are to be: homeowners or contractor/developers. Planning staff had done a survey of all
planning departments in the county, hours vary considerably, three cities have extended hours in
evenings. About 20 percent of the cities are presently considering extending hours. Building staff
did a survey of building departrnents and found several with extended hours, but a number are also
closed during some part of the day. There is no clear pattem of extended hours among the cities.
In response to council concems about specific service needs at Burlingame's counter, she said the
Planning staff has kept counter service logs in the past and she could review those for peak periods
and present a report to council later. Staff noted it would be helpful to the public if all cities had
same hours, it must be very confusing for contractors/developers who work in multiple cities.
Council suggested extended hours should be to accommodate homeowners. The effect on people in
the review process should also be considered and some thought needs to be given to how we would
advertise the change in hours. Mayor Knight also expressed concern about security for workers and
for the building at city hall with extended hours. City Planner mentioned staff now makes
appointrnents for afterhours when requested by applicants. Council took no action and asked City
Planner to report back.
RESOLUTION 49-95 AUTHORIZING FIVE YEAR ENCROACHMENT PERMIT AGREEMENT
WITH METRICOM
Public Works Director reviewed his memo of June 8 which recornmended council approve an
agreement with Metricom to allow installation of radios on city-owned street lighting and traffic
signal standards. Metricom is a Los Gatos company which has developed a radio device which
allows wireless digital communication between computers; the device uses low-power non FCC
licersed systems much like a modum but without telephone connections. To make the system work,
they need about 25 installations throughout the city to allow all residents to avail themselves of the
service. Metricom will pay ttre city $60 per year for each pole installation. Metricom representa-
tive Kurt Wampler was present and responded to council questions; Metricom pays all electrical
346
costs; the service differs from networks in that it is wireless; it would not interfere with radio or
television signals; they have agreements with several cities; discussed cancellation clause.
Councilman Harrison moved adoption of RESOLUTION 49-95 approving the encroachment p€rmit
agreement with Metricom. Seconded by Counciknan Spinelli and carried unanimously.
Councilman Spinelli moved to accept the resignation of Patrick Kelly with regret. Seconded by
Mayor Knight. Vice Mayor Pagliaro said he had been inclined not to accept the resignation but had
spoken to Pat Kelly who asked that it b€ accepted. Councilman Harrison said he would rrot support
that motion, he would abstain from vote; he said he was inclined to accept the resignation of the
chair of the Planning Commission instead. Councilwoman O'Mahony said she would not accept the
resignation, Patrick Kelly has interpreted the city code wisely and well. Mayor Knight said there
are more issues involved than mentioned in his letter, she hoped council members would talk to
other planning commissioners. Vice Mayor Pagliaro noted apparent tie vote for this issue, he
wondered what would happen if he abstained. Acting City Attorney said abstentions count with the
majority vote. Vice Mayor Pagliaro said he would abstain from vote. The motion carried 2-1-2,
Councilwoman O'Mahony voting no, Vice Mayor Pagliaro and Councilman Harrison abstaining.
Councilman Harrison said council had interviewed several good candidates for this commission a
few weeks ago; he thought council should appoint from that list. Mayor Knight agreed, could come
back to the next meeting for appointment. Vice Mayor Pagliaro said he would like to open the
application period again. Councilwoman O'Mahony would like to appoint from the pool of
applicants who were interviewed. City Manager informed council that our appoinfinent resolution
calls for a minimum three week application period for any opening. He suggested the city attorney
review the resolution prior to the next meeting. Council thanked Stan Vistica for his interest and
asked him to apply in the future.
Council removed items "d, e and h" for discussion.
a INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE 1528 MAKING CORRECTIONS TO ZONING CODE
City Planner's memo of June I recommended council review changes suggested for the
zoning code and introduce the ordinance. Hearing would be at the July 6 meeting. The
Planning Commission reviewed over several meethgs and recommends these changes: 1) to
set a maximum height of 3 foot from adjacent existing grade on uncovered stairs and
landings as an exception in the front setback; 2) put the minimum 30 inch side setback
standard back into the code; 3) require an interior connection between all habitable areas
within a single family house; 4) in the C-3 district regulations, drop some special setback
standards; 5) add to the commercial minor modification provisions real estate and financial
institutions uses with a maximum of 600 gross SF of office area, unrelated to any other
office users with a maximum of rwo employees; 6) increase permitted height of a detached
accessory structurc from 14 to 15 feet provided both sides of the roof are pitched and the 15
foot ridge is separated from side property line by at least 5 feet; and 7) require all single
family structures defined as "new construction" to provide two covered and one uncovered
parking space, independent of the number of bedrooms.

Vice Mayor Pagliaro expressed concern that these lights would shine into and impact the Northpark
Apartrnents, noted they have been using the parking lot in violation of the permit. Public Works
Director explained the Rector building would stand between the lights and the apartrnents so there
should be no direct impact from the lights on residents. Councilwoman O'Mahony asked about the
intensity of the lights. Councilman Spinelli noticed that Rector pays $600 per year for the original
lease, with this new use they would pay $1,200 per year. Vice Mayor Pagliaro said he would like
