South San Francisco, CA February 8, 2023
Proposed for 1300 Bayshore Blvd in Burlingame CA
A local neighbor has recently posted on social media concerns of this new massive development
“Massive 1.4 Million SF Bio-Tech office project is proposed in Burlingame next to Broadway/101/Caltrans (now Max’s Diner and vacant movie theater). This area is already a major traffic bottleneck and this project will severely worsen the congestion. This massive project will have 3 buildings each over 210 ft tall plus garages. We need to speak up against this crazy project at the next Planning Commission meeting on Monday Feb 13 at 7 PM.”

Max’s of Burlingame is a staple of our community and should be a part of all future developments at this site, whether in their current location or in a new storefront. There are only two locations left in the Bay Area (and in the country.)
How will this affect the SSF WQCP? As SSF handles their effluent declaration and pumping to the Bay.
