    Planning Commission Action Meeting - August 24, 2020
    On Monday August 24, 2020 the Planning Commission recommended approval to City Council of an application for construction of a new seven-story mixed use development with 7,588 square feet of ground floor commercial/retail, 148,057 square feet of office space and 60 residential units at 1766 El Camino Real, within the North Burlingame Mixed Use (NBMU) area.  

    The application includes a request for zoning code amendment to change the office parking ratio in the NBMU zone from 1 parking space per 300 SF to 1 parking space per 400 SF (was originally proposed at 1:500 SF), therefore because of the requested code amendment  final action for approval of this project is with the City Council.
