SB 79

NAMI San Mateo County board member urging that new high-density housing include extremely-low and very-low income units, ideally with concentrated permanent supportive housing and services.

Returned to support the SB 79 plan, suggesting the city could even go beyond the state minimums and add more housing capacity near transit.

Speaking in her personal capacity as a resident, Pfaff said Burlingame has 'done everything right' on planning and housing and called SB 79 a builder's-remedy-like state overreach that could obliterate the downtown plan; she supported concentrating capacity on Rollins Road/Millbrae instead.

The Parks & Recreation Commissioner urged the city not to put housing on Washington Park or Burlingame High School, calling them the most special, fully used parts of the city, and asked staff to leverage existing Rollins Road planning work instead.
