ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME AMENDING CHAPTER 22.18
OF TITLE 22 (SIGN ORDINANCE) OF THE BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE,
AMENDING THE REGULATIONS TO ELIMINATE THE PROHIBITION ON
MONUMENT SIGNS FOR PARCELS WITH FRONTAGES OF LESS THAN 150
FEET AND ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS FOR MONUMENT SIGN SIZE ON
PARCELS MEETING THIS CRITERION WITHIN THE ECN ZONING DISTRICT
The CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. In 2007, the City Council adopted a comprehensive revision to the City's
Sign Code (Title 22). Since adoption, the City has identified sections of the regulations
regarding the placement of monument signs that effectively eliminate the ability for placement of
such signs on properties of irregular shape due to past subdivisions of those properties;
properties that, due to their configuration (e.g. "flag" lots, "pie -shaped" lots, etc.), require
adequate signage to encourage the establishment and vitality of land -uses on these properties;
properties meeting this criterion are known to exist within the EI Camino North (ECN) zoning
district; and
Section 2. In an effort to allow the erection of more effective signage on these
properties, the City has determined that it is appropriate to lift the prohibition on the placement
of monument signage upon properties with less than 150 -feet of parcel frontage in the ECN
district and to establish specific standards for monument signs on properties that meet this
criterion.
Section 3. Section 22.18.050(c) is amended to read as follows:
(c) Freestanding monument signs are prohibited on parcels with a parcel frontage of
less than one hundred (150) feet in length, with the following exception: notwithstanding other
regulations contained in this section; on properties with a parcel frontage of less than one -
hundred fifty (150) feet situated within only the ECN zoning district, one two-sided monument
sign with a maximum height of no greater than five (5) feet and a maximum sign area per side of
no greater than thirty (30) square feet shall be permitted.
