Jaimee Hicks, Fehr & Peers Traffic Engineers, City's consultants on the Final EIR, discussed the Trousdale traffic study. There were no further - comments from the floor; and the public hearing was closed. Burlingame City Council Approved Minutes 195 November 15,2004 Mayor Galligan noted that in this case the action on the Final EIR should come first along with the Findings of Overriding Considerations, which are attached to the resolution for reference. The conditions of approval, including the mitigations to implement the FEIR are apart of the action on the three conditional use permits, uses in the Unclassified zote, and height over 35 feet and medical office use in the C-1 zone. Following all the actions, Council will take a final action on the resolution of approval which includes all the facts and findings presented in the record of both the Planning Commission and Council review of the project. Councilwoman O'Mahony made a motion to certify the Final environmental Impact Report consisting of the Draft EIR, the Revised Draft EIR, the Response to Comments Document and the public record of the documents and testimony commenting on the EIR, finding that the FEIR was adequate and was presented to the decision makers and the information included in the documents was reviewed and considered before approving the project. The motion was seconded by Councilman Coffey. CA Anderson noted that because there were two areas identified of significant and unavoidable impact, the Council should include the findings of Overriding Consideration as recommended by the Planning Commission in an action of approval. Councilwoman O'Mahony moved to amend her motion to include the approval of the Findings of Overriding Consideration as recommended by the Planning Commission and included in the staff report. The second Councilman Coffey agreed to the amendment to the motion. Comment on the motion: asked when the mitigations were added to the action. CA noted that the mitigations are also included in the conditions of approval which will be acted on with the conditional use permits. Is that the point to discuss visual impacts from the exterior of the building? Yes, can comment on the current hospital throughout the actions. It was also noted that the siting of the structures is addressed and endorsed in the Statement of Overriding Considerations as well as in the mitigations. Mayor Galligan called for a voice vote on the motion to certify the Final EIR and to approve the Statement of Overriding Considerations as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion passed on a 5-0 voice vote. Mayor Galligan then noted that the next action was approval of the ordinance to change the zoning on two parcels. Councilwoman O'Mahony moved to adopt the rezoning of 1515 Trousdale from C-3 to C-1 and 1791 El Camino Real from Unclassified to C-l. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Baylock. Mayor Galligan called for a voice vote on the motion to adopt the rezoning of the two parcels. The motion passed 5-0 on a voice vote. Mayor Galligan noted that the next action was on the ordinance to allow medical office buildings in the C-1 zone along El Camino Real, noting that this action was an implementation of the recently adopted North Burlingame/Rollins Road Specific Plan. Councilman Coffey moved adoption of the ordinance to revise the zoning regulations to allow medical office buildings as a conditional use in the C-l zone along the west side of El Camino Real adjacent to the hospital. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony. Burlingame City Council Approved Minutes t96 November 15,2004 Mayor Galligan called for a voice vote on the motion to adopt the amendment to the C-1 regulations to allow medical office buildings on the west side of El Camino Real as a conditional use. The motion passed 5-0 on a voice vote. Mayor Galligan then noted that the next action should be the Conditional Use Permits for the proposed uses on property zoned Unclassified, and for height over 35 feet and medical office use in the C-l zone. CA Anderson asked that the Council review the conditions and direct staff on any changes the Council would agree on. The Council directed the CA regarding the changes to the conditions. CA noted that after the discussion on the design review he would ask for a recess to reformat the conditions to include the revisions made by Council. Mayor Galligan then noted that this was the time to discuss the design of the proposed buildings. In their discussion, Council referenced the revised elevation drawings for the medical office building and hospital included in the staff report. Council acknowledged the condition, which allowed for further review by staff and commission, as the detail of the design was refined with construction drawings. Issues noted to be aware of in this subsequent review were: include areal focal point at the front of the hospital which would direct people to the hospital entrance, windows as shown on the medical office building and hospital are a great improvement, like the darker aggregate in the concrete-keep dialogue open and be diligent about changes, should not look like an institution, do something about the cap of the hospital building - can energy efficiency/shading be accomplished in some other way at the top of the structure than using the steel trellis work, especially the trellis design next to the stair tower, the cap on the stair tower reads better, the hospital walls need to be capped at the top in a manner similar to the medical office building. There were no further comments. Mayor Galligan called for a 15-minute recess for the CA to work on the revisions to the conditions. Break began at 9:30 p.m. Council meeting reconvened at 10:00 p.m. Mayor Galligan noted that Council could take the action on the commercial design review first. CA noted that in acting on the design review, the Council may wish to refer to the findings on pages 2l - 23 in the attached resolution; and if these are adequate and/or the Council wishes to amend or modify them, that can be done in the motion. Councilman Coffey moved to approve the commercial design of the hospital, medical office building and parking garuge based on the findings in the resolution (pages 2l-23). The motion was seconded by Councilwoman O'Mahony. Mayor Galligan called for a voice vote on the motion to approve the commercial design review based on the findings in the resolution and the comments in the record. The motion passed on a 5-0 voice vote. Mayor Galligan then noted that the Council should act on the conditional use permit for uses in the Unclassifiedzone, and height over 35 feet and medical office use in the C-1 zone. He noted that the conditions of approval are included with this action. CA handed out a revised draft and Council reviewed the changes for the record. Council discussion: it was noted that there was not a condition requiring that the hospital store 30,000 gallons of water for fire frghting and 150 gallons per licensed bed on site for its use in an emergency at all times. Applicant was asked if this was the appropriate quantity; he agreed. Burlingame City Council Approved Minutes r97 November 15,2004 Councilwoman O'Mahony moved approval of the conditional use permit with all the conditions of approval as amended for the reasons stated in the record, including the findings on pages 13-21 of the draft resolution. The motion was seconded by Councilman Coffey. Discussion on the motion: commended the applicant for working with the community so well, excited about the community having a state of the art hospital; applicant was very cooperative and listened, the time and effort they and the Planning Commission spent, particularly the Planning Commission, made tonight very easy for the City Council; thanked staff for a complete report; thanked Oren Reinbolt and team for their willingness to make changes and to listen to the community, look forward to a continuing good relationship. Mayor Galligan called for a voice vote on the motion to approve the conditional use permits. The motion passed on a 5-0 voice vote. Mayor Galligan asked for the Council to take one final vote on the project, to approve the resolution including all the findings and amended conditions of approval for the project in one package. Councilwoman Baylock moved to approve Resolution No. 105-2004 noting that the resolution is complete, includes all the amendments to the conditions of approval made by City Council this evening, and meets the requirements of state law for action on this project. The motion was seconded by Councilman Coffey.
