"The Office of the City Planner respectfully recommends that the Planning Conunission adopt the "findings" and action indicated in the attached, preliminary Official Action Report. 91 FINDINGS: "1. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the land or building referred to in the application, which circumstances or conditions do not, apply generally to land or buildings in the same district. 2. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the petitioner. 3. That the granting of the application will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, materially affect adversely the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant, and will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in said neighborhood. 4. The granting of the requested variance will be in harmony with the general purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. 5. The requested variance is necessary to prevent practical difficulties, unnecessary hardships, and results inconsistent with the general purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. 6. The requested variance is supported by the substandard depth and square-footage of the subject building site. 7. The Commission, on September 14, 1959, granted V-1137 (Robert J. Lorenzini), a variance request similar to the instant one."

Inter-office Memorandum dated February 4, 1972 from Fire Chief John A. Marchi; liMy requirements on the above subject, before approval can be had, are: That a 12" main looped with hydrants be installed on San Mateo Avenue. Mr. Arata, Architect, submitted a plaque showing the 12" main and hydrants, but showed a dead end 12" main instead of a looped one. I discussed this looped main with Mr. Arata, who has discussed same with the San Bruno Water Company, as this loop will have to be connected to their main, and Mr. Leo Van Dusen, Director of Public Works, agreed to allow this connection; however there will be an $8.00 per month charge for the connection. I explained this $8.00 per month to Mr. Arata who stated his client will be glad to pay this monthly charge and Mr. Arata will make the necessary arrangements with our California Water Company and submit the final arrangements in writing to me. PM-90 (Continued) "Therefore, before any approval can be given by me, the 12" main will have to be looped as I required." I.O.M. dated February 4, 1972 from Chief Building Inspector Leonard J. Pittz "I have examined the tentative Parcel Map PM-90 being a subdivision of a portion of the Lands of the United States of America General Services Administration and recommend its approval upon the condi- tion that the final map include in its title the legal description as described in the deed." I.O.M. dated February 4, 1972 from Landscape Specialist John E. Hoffman "Existing on the site of the proposed subdivision are thirty-five (35) healthy, mature Black Acacia trees, Acacia melanoxylon and one (1) good specimen of Eucalyptus globulus. These trees are a valuable environmental asset to the community, both aesthetically and ecologically. My recommendation is that in the development of these lots every possible effort be made to utilize these existing trees in the required ten percent (10%) minimum landscaping." .. I.O.M. dated February 4, 1972, from Director of Public Works Louis H. Goss "We have the following recommendations concerning the approval of subject tentative parcel map: 1. Public access, proposed sanitary sewer, and water line along San Mateo Avenue are within the jurisdiction of the City of San Bruno. A letter from the City of San Bruno authorizing the con- struction of driveway access. for each lot as proposed and the installation of sewer and water line on San Mateo Avenue should be obtained by the developer. A copy of this letter shall be delivered to the City Engineer prior to the approval of this parcel map. 2. Street lights along the east side of San Mateo Avenue in front of the property and other improvements are subject to City of San Bruno requirements. 3. A ten foot (10') wide sewer easement should be shown on the tentative parcel map; the sewer easement shall be dedicated to the City by a deed. 4. Construction of a catch basin will be required on each lot to drain storm water into the proposed storm sewer. 5. The existing 12" storm drain between Shaw Road and the north- easterly corner of proposed Lot 1 may be inadequate. Replacement of this existing 12" storm drain with a larger pipe will be at the developer's expense. 6. Installation of a standard "cleanout" will be required for each sanitary sewer lateral. 7. Before issuing any building permit for improvement on these p~rcels, detailed grading and drainage plan shall be submitted to this Department for review and approval." - 3078 - PM-90 (Continued) Names and addresses of Proponents and Opponents: Proponents: Louis A.

Opponents: None Considerable discussion ensued among the Commissioners regarding the City of San Bruno building setback limit on San Mateo Avenue. Secretary Pass advised the Commission, that upon checking with the City of San Bruno, he was informed that San Bruno has no building setback restrictions on San Mateo Avenue. Secretary Pass advised the Commission that any development on the proposed industrial park would have to meet all of the landscaping and setback require- ments of the City of South San Francisco. Upon a query by Com- missioner Gardner, Mr. Arata advised the Commission that the 12" looped water main would be installed for standby emergency service and that the $8.00 monthly charge was a standard charge for this service.

Pass "The proposed submu1tiplication meets the requirements of the State Subdivision Map Act, and the regulations and standards embodied in Ordinance No. 603, as amended. Said submultiplica- tion would merge six parcels of land into two highly-irregular, but well-designed industrial lots. While the free form and irregular geometry of the proposed lots contravene the design _ 'Z()'70 PM-9l (Continued) lIstandards of modern residential platting, they are not necessarily unacceptable where industrial subdivisions are concerned. Function, not form" is lithe principal criterion of order in the latter. In light of the above factors, the Planning Department respectfully recommends that the Planning Commission approve the instant tentative parcel map upon the condition that the subdivider comply with the submitted requirements of the City' s depar~ment heads."

Report and recommendation of City Planner Daniel M. Pass liThe following table of planning fee schedules of ten nearby cities indicates that the fees charged by the City of South San Francisco for city-planning and zoning matters should be increased. The said table of schedules includes the recommendations of the Planning Office. While these rec Ql1mendations are partially designed to bring South San FranciscQ' s fees into alignment with those of neighboring cities, they ~are prfmarily calculated to make the said fees reflect the cost of prpcessing city-planning proposals. The Planning Office's recommendations advocate that applicants and petitioners assume a larger part of the processing cost--to the relief of the general taxpayer.

Study Session of Tuesday, February 22, 1972 "Whereas the City Hall of the City of South San Francisco will be closed on Monday, February 21, 1972, in celebration of Washington's Birthday, the South San Francisco Planning Commission will meet in regular Study Session on Tuesday, February 22, 1972, in the Coffee Room of City Hall. This unusual site of the Commission's Study Session is dictated by the Personnel Board's traditional use of the Conference Room on the fourth Tuesday of each month."
