II "Your favorable consideration of this request will be appre- ciated by all parties concerned." Report, dated September 18, 1970, of City Planner Daniel M. Pass. "1. The South San Francisco :Planning Commission, on March 10, 1969, conditionally approved SA-8, tentative map of Westborough No. 4, representing the subdivi$ion of an approximately 100-acre parcel of land, located at the southeasterly corner of West- borough and Gellert Boulevards, in the R-3 District. The City Council ratified the Commission's action on March 18, 1969." "2m On July 13, 1970, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council conditionally approve the final map of Westborough NO.. 4-A, which occupies about 30% of the parent parcel of West- bOrQugh NOm 4.. The subject final map was approved by the City Council on July 20, 1970, under Resolution 5356, but, a-t this writing, is unrecorded.." "3. AccQrding to Section 10.03 of the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of South San Francisco, "Any failure to record a final map within eighteen months from the approval or conditional aJ?,ProvalOf the tentative map, or any extension thereof grant- ed by.the.City Council, shall terminate all proceedings.

In its letter of August 31, 1970, Theodore V.. Tronoff Engin- eers, civil engineer and agent of the subdivider, requests that the City Council extend the time limit for recording the final maps of Westborough No. 4 and its three units to September 18, 1971".. "6. The Planning Department is of the opinion that the requested time extension is supported by the large size of Westborough No.. 4, and the complex problems involved in the establishment of a high-density residential project therein.. Since the sub- divider and developer of Westborough No.. 4 will develop a neighborhood which will ultimately equal the population of Saus ali to ~ the reques ted time extension is reasonable."

Proposed Amendment to the Off~Street Parking Requirements of the City of South San Francisco's R-3 Districts.. The Secretary read the following letter and reports into the record. Latter report dated September lOt 1970, from City Planner Daniel M. Pass. !'PETITION OF THE CITY PLANNER TO THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO PLANNING COMMISSION" "I, Daniel Me Pass, City Plannel; of the City of South San Francisco, hereby respectfully petition that Section 3.37(h) of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of South San Francisco be amended, to wit: -1222 - Ii SECTION 3" 3 RESTRICTED MULTIPLE FA1'4ILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT OR R-3 DISTRICT. "3.37 Parking Required - Garage or Garage Space II (b) Not less than one (1) and one-half (1/2) garage spaces for each dwelling unit. " The proposed zoning legislation is designed to update the off- street parking standards of this municipality's R-3 Districts. The current requirement of one space per dwelling unit is not responsive to the parking needs of apartment-house residents and their guests. This lack of responsiveness has resulted in abnormal on-street park- ing, and the consequential congestion of minor streets and collectors. " As South San Francisco's high-density, residential neighborhoods grow, their traffic-service needs will increase. The local streets will not be able to effectively meet these needs if they are compelled to function as lineal parking lots. Unfortunately, on-street parking in an affluent society can be reduced only with the provision of ample usable off-street parking.." " This city's antique one-space per dwelling ratio is unmindful of the emancipation of women and teen..-agers, and is as archaic as the II fami +y:cqr".qqnqept upon which it is predicated. If empirical ev- idence is required, a nocturnal drive along incipient Alida Way should be sufficient." " The attached chart clearly indicates that several other cities ar alert to the problem creat.~dby the admixture of the automobile and th apartment house. Most of the surveyed cities'-urban centers character ized considerable post war'growth .....-. require a minimum of one and on half,'of:f'7"'stre~tparking SpClC~S per apartment unit." RECOMMENDATION II The ;Planning Department r~spectfully recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached, preliminary resolution, and thereby re- commend to the City Counoil that the petitioned amendment to Section 3.37(b) of the R-3 District regulations be enacted into ordinance." -1223- Survey, dated September 10, 1970, of City Planner Daniel M.
