20 Transportation Demand Management M-5.1: TDM Guidelines and Programs Establish specific TDM guidelines and requirements within the Zoning Ordinance that encourage travel by a variety of modes for both individuals and employees, focusing different strategies in different parts of the community as appropriate to promote sustainability and economic development. IP-26: Citywide TDM Plan The City will develop a citywide Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan for adoption by the City Council, which could include strategies to reduce peak-hour traffic, such as staggered work hours, flexible schedule options, local transit service, and telecommuting from home offices.

21 Sustainability-Related Policies and Programs A new and unique goal Sustainable Development section in the Community Character Element Sustainability and community resiliency policies, programs and actions are integrated throughout the General Plan document Close coordination and integration with the City s Climate Action Plan, both through policy and also through analysis within the EIR

22 Historic Preservation A new and unique goal section in the Community Character Element CC-3.2: Comprehensive Historic Surveys Require applicants for any discretionary permits that involve remodeling, removing, or substantially altering any structure older than 50 years (at the time of the application) to prepare a Historic Resources Analysis consistent with State CEQA requirements to identify the historical significance of the property. CC-3.5: Historic Districts Identify opportunities to establish National Park Service Certified Historic Districts to encourage the preservation of Burlingame s historical neighborhoods and districts, and to qualify property owners for the Federal Preservation Tax Incentives Program.

23 Historic Preservation Current inventory: 43 properties surveyed in Burlingame Park, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood park subdivisions 5 found to be eligible for listing on California Register of Historic Places

24 Sea Level Rise A new and unique Sea Level Rise goal section in the Community Safety Element DCS-5.2: Vulnerability Assessment Coordinate with San Mateo County on the county-wide Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment that will identify regional sea level rise risk factors and areas, as well as emerging options for response. CS-5.3: New Development in Vulnerable Areas Continue to require appropriate setback and building elevation requirements for properties located along the Bayshore, lagoons, and in other low-laying areas that are susceptible to the effects of sea level rise. Consider other strategies to support resiliency through design.

25 Coordination with School Districts The City of Burlingame and the local school districts are separate government agencies with different roles and responsibilities The City and District regularly hold City/District Liaison Committee meetings to help improve coordination Early in the General Plan Update process the City met with the District and identified siting requirements for new schools Both the City and District are looking at creative and collaborative solutions moving forward

26 DRAFT Community ENVIRONMENTAL Advisory Committee #1 IMPACT July 22, 2015 REPORT Park and Recreation (EIR) Center

27 Environmental Impact Report Approach Program Level Analysis General Plans are subject to program-level analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Program-level analysis differs from project-level analysis in the sense that the EIR evaluates the impacts the proposed policies may have on environmental conditions. As a result, proposed mitigation measures in the EIR are typically designed as changes to policy language.

28 Draft Environmental Impact Report Topics/Chapters with NO IMPACTS or LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS: Aesthetics and Visual Resources Agricultural and Forestry Resources Biological Resources Geology, Soils, and Minerals Hazards and Hazardous Materials Population and Housing Public Services Tribal Cultural Resources Utilities and Service Systems Historic and Cultural Resources Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning

29 Draft Environmental Impact Report Topics with SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS that with mitigation can be reduced to LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS: 1. Paleontological Resources 2. Short-term Construction Noise Impacts 3. Increased Traffic Noise 4. Increased Traffic at Select Intersections

30 Existing Conditions

31 Year 2040 with Proposed General Plan Conditions

32 Draft Environmental Impact Report Topics with SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS that with mitigation remain SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS: 1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Increases in greenhouse gas emissions will occur until the Climate Action Plan update is adopted with specific programs the City will undertake to reduce emissions.

33 Draft Environmental Impact Report Topics with SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS that with mitigation remain SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS: 2. Plan Bay Area Consistency: The 2040 General Plan is not consistent with PDA transit corridor policies. From ABAG: Priority Development Areas (PDAs) are places identified by Bay Area communities as areas for investment, new homes and job growth.

34 EIR Alternatives ALTERNATIVE 1: No Project Existing Burlingame General Plan ALTERNATIVE 2: Higher Development Density/Intensity in North Burlingame Increased density allowed in the North Burlingame focus area (NBMU): 140 units/acre (versus 120 units/acre) ALTERNATIVE 3: No Live/Work Designation in the Northerly One- Third of the Rollins Road Corridor Replace Live/Work designation to Innovation Industrial, at a maximum FAR of 0.75 for commercial and industrial uses and 3.0 for hospitality uses

35 EIR Alternatives Evaluated Results Alternatives 2 and 3 have the same impact levels as the General Plan, and none would reduce significant unavoidable impacts Proposed General Plan is considered the superior alternative as it meets all project objectives

36 Hearing Structure Planning Commission questions to staff and consultant team Public comments Planning Commission addresses hearing comments, written correspondence, and staff report recommendations Planning Commission discussion Recommendations to the City Council
