INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE OF'THE OF BURLINGAME ADOPTING AN INTERIM
CHANGE TO SECTION 25.57.030 AMEI{DING DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS TO PROVIDE
FOR PLANNING COMMISSION STUDY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS
City Planner Meg Monroe reviewed her staff report on the ordinance which would have all design review
projects go immediately to the Planning Commission for an interactive study with the applicant before being
assigned to design review. This ordinance would amend the design review process for one year, atwhich time
this amendment would be reviewed. Recommended setting the second reading and public hearing for April 3.
Vice-Mayor Galligan felt this would make the design review process more user-friendly since the applicants
will know early on in the process how the Planning Commission feels about a project; also, it gives the design
reviewer input and direction from the Planning Commission.
Mayor O'Mahony directed the City Clerk to read the title of the proposed ordinance; a motion was made by
Councilman Coffey to waive the reading of the ordinance; seconded by Councilman Spinelli; carried
unanimously by voice vote 5-0. A motion was made by Councilwoman Janney to introduce the proposed
ordinance; seconded by Councilman Coffey; carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0. Mayor O'Mahony directed
the City Clerk to publish notice of the proposed ordinance at least five days before its proposed adoption.
INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME AMENDING THE
BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE TO CREATE AN OVERLAY DISTRICT BETWEEN TOYON
DRIVE AND BLOOMFIELD ROAD IN THE ROLLINS ROAD MULTIPLE FAMILY SUBZONE
City Planner Monroe explained the purpose of this ordinance is to resolve a conflict between the General Plan
land use designation and the zoning in the area fronting Rollins Road between Toyon Drive and Rose Court as it
-extends to the east to Rollins Road. After study, the Planning Commission determined that the best solution
would be to create an overlay zone that enables a two-story multiple family development in the area with a
lower density than the regular R-3 zone. The overlay is proposed to extend from Toyon to Bloomfield since
these R-l units back up into the high density R-3 zone along this entire area. The proposed ordinance would be
used to implement the change in the General Plan.
Mayor O'Mahony called on the City Clerk to read the title of the proposed ordinance; a motion was made by
Councilwoman Janney to waive the reading of the ordinance; seconded by Vice Mayor Galligan; carried
unanimously by voice vote 5-0. A motion was made by Councilman Spinelli to introduce the proposed
ordinance; seconded by Councilwoman Janney; carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0. Mayor O'Mahony
directed the City Clerk to publish notice of the proposed ordinance at least five days before its proposed
adoption.
