The City of Burlingame is located between the Santa Cruz Mountains __ foothills and San Francisco Bay, with_a number of ubstantial creeks flowing tluough highly developed residential and industrial areas. It is surrounded by large areas of open space maintained in natural condition, as well as having a significant natural canyon in the center of the residential area. Strong winds come down the foothills during both the driest and the wettest parts of the year. The City is directly east of the San Andreas Fault, and much of the highly developed part of the City is located along the front of the Bay, much of it on fill. The United States Geologic Survey, the -California Division of Mines and Geology, and the Association of Bay Area Governments have extensively mapped the area for such eart hquake probabilities. The foothill areas have a variety of soil foi.nations with steep canyons and heavy precipitation. Much of the City has a high water table. Fires in the community could quickly spread because of the extensive, natural vegetation throughout the City. The City has a number of highly developed commercial areas with older buildings, and an industrial area that is filled with mixed uses utilizing various materials that could be highly hazardous. In addition, heavily traveled approach and departure routes for San Francisco International Airport are immediately adj acent or over the City. The City is also located in a national climate zone that is designated "Very High" on the Termite Infestation Probability Map. The City has worked with other jurisdictions on the San Francisco Peninsula to establish consistent standards to minimize the impact that varying standards might have on development and redevelopment of both residential and commercial buildings. Itis only through strong building standards and effective fire prevention and containment programs that citizens will receive the protection they deserve, and that citizens will be aUle to obtain reasonably priced insurancefor their homes and businesses. In seeping to attahl these goals, the building standards in Title 18 have been and are adopted. Section 2. In addition, in order to provide appropriate, clear information to applicants for construction approvals, Section 18.07.050 is adopted to conform Title 18 to Zoning Code requirements established in the Municipal Code. Section 3. The Ciiy operates its own sanitary sewer system and water quality control plant and is subject to State and Federal laws regarding both point and non -point discharges. Sections 18.07.060, 18.08.0105 18.12.080, 18.12.0905 18.12.100, 18.12.110, 18.12.115, 18.12.120, and 18.12.125 are intended to assist the City in meeting its responsibilities regarding those laws as well as protecting the public safety and welfare. ioiisno 2 Section 4.
