Planning Commission Meeting Agendas and Minutes

In order to observe social distancing guidelines related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) which discourage large public gatherings, the Council Chambers will not be open to the public for Planning Commission meetings.  Until further notice, Planning Commission meetings will be held via Zoom, an online video conferencing platform.  Directions on how to join Planning Commission meetings on Zoom will be available on the meeting agendas. 

There are two ways to provide written comments to the Planning Commission:

  1. Write the Planning Commission. If you would like to send written correspondence to the full Planning Commission in advance of the meeting, you may email PlanningCommissioners@Burlingame.org. This option is equivalent to writing a letter to the commission. All commissioners will receive email correspondence sent to this address directly. We recommend that comments be sent prior to the meeting, as commissioners cannot check email during the meeting itself. 
  2. Submit a comment to be read "from the podium" during the meeting. If you would like to send correspondence for staff to read out loud as a public comment during the meeting, you may email your comments to publiccomment@burlingame.org. This option is equivalent to addressing the commission from the speaker podium. Commissioners will not receive copies of this correspondence before the meeting, but the comments will be read out loud by staff at the applicable public comment portion for the item (with a three-minute time limit). Please refer to additional guidance provided below.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during these unprecedented times.

Public Comments during City Council and Commission Meetings

To ensure the community's safety and out of an abundance of precaution, the City has set up an email address for public comments during City Council and Commission meetings for the foreseeable future.

In order to encourage social distancing and slow the spread of COVID-19, the City has set up publiccomment@burlingame.org

If you would like to comment at a Council or Commission meeting but are staying home, please email your comment or question on an Agenda item for public comment to publiccomment@burlingame.org.   Staff will be checking this email account regularly during the meeting.  Your comment will be read out loud (with a three-minute time limit) at the appropriate time.  Example: If your comment pertains to a particular staff report, your comment will be read when the Mayor/Commission Chair opens the item for public comment.

To assist staff, label what your comment is on in the subject line of your email.

Please note, Planning Commissioners will not receive correspondence sent to publiccomment@burlingame.org in advance of the meeting, but these comments will be read out loud by staff during the meeting (with a three-minute time limit). If you would like to send correspondence to the commissioners for their review prior to the meeting, please direct correspondence to PlanningCommissioners@Burlingame.org.

The public may also provide comments during the meeting, either orally at the designated public comment intervals during the public hearings (three-minute limit), or through the Zoom chat function.

Thank you.
