Proponent: Vincent DeAngelis 733 Airport Boulevard South San Francisco, CA Opponent: None There was some discussion on the necessity of restricting the hours of operation.

Mr. DeAngelis explained that he is expanding his business to serving food at the dinner hour in order to comply with the restrictions for the beer and wine license imposed on him by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. He further explained that the restriction of hours of operation would put him in a position of not being able to obtain the license. Zoning Administrabor Costanzo explained that Mr. DeAngelis would either have to withdraw his Use Permit application or file a modification to the same.

Mr. Gonzales ex- plained the hours would be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and that there would be no more than 20 children at one time. Commissioner Goldberg asked Secretary Hale if the potential noise problem should be handled by an EIR. Secretary Hale explained thit an ErR is very complicated and costly and that in this case, the impact would tend to be insignificant. This particular problem would be handlea by the imposition of a condition limiting the period of time to one year, at which time the Commission would review the application to determine if the noise level was indeed a significant problem. Commissioner Goldberg noted that he felt this was possibly an unfair condition because of the investment of monies and time by Mr. and Mrs. Gonzales. Commissioner Goldberg expressed his concern with how the dust problem in the backyard would be handled. He noted that he would like to see some firm plans of landscaping proposals. Commissioner Bertucelli expressed concern with the noise level because of the medical facility next door and asked who would be in charge of the children. Mr. Gonzales noted that two teachers would be outside with the children at all times. - 3579 - UP-76-345, cont'd July 13, 1976 Commissioner Mathewson requested to know if the Gonzales' were operating the present Montessori School under a Use Permit and when they left, if the Church would fill the vacancy. Mr. Gonzales said they were only operating the present school under permit from the Church and that they would like to keep that location also. Commissioner Mathewson asked if they would need a Use Permit to establish the day care center use at the Church. Secretary Hale said that a Use Permit would be required. Commissioner Mathewson asked if there was room for on-street parking. Secre- tary Hale stated that there was not, but that there is room for off-street parking with some grading. Acting Chairman Tegl"ia noted her concern with the noise problem, stating that she did not feel this location would be proper for such a use. Commissioner Hale noted his concern with the safety of children crossing such a busy street. Commissioner Mullin noted that there are two Montessori Schools on Geary in San Francisco which is a heavily travelled street.

Secretary Hale presented the staff report. Proponents: John Jenks Jenks & Harrison Palo Alto, CA Nancy Morton Earthmetrics Palo Alto, CA Michael Joyce, Engineer Jenks and Harrison Palo Alto, CA Henry C. Hyde, EBMUD P. O. Box 24055 Oakland, CA 94623 Opponents: None Mr. Jenks explained the purpose of the project, nID~ing that space and locations are running out for disposal of solid waste taken from waste water. He explained the operation of narrowing down the alternatives and then leaving them open for EIR review. He explained that the EIR is submitted to all State agencies, etcetera, for compliance with all guidelines. Nancy Morton, Earthmetrics, explained some of the impacts from the various alternatives proposed, as follows: 1. Each alternative womld increase materials for handling the sludge. 2. All alternatives would put some amount of sludge in the Ox Mountain Sanitary landfill which would affect its life span. 3. Traffic on Highway 95 would become a concern. - 3581 - EIR, contad July 13, 1976 4. There would be an increase in noise and the air quality would be affected from the construction and on a long range basis from hauling. 5. Geologic hazards would be mitigated by proper design. Since it is on bay fill, seismic hazards would be a concern. Ms. Morton noted that the most feasible and economic alternative for South San Francisco would be for South San Francisco to allow a part of the sludge to be used by Tillo and to send the remainder to sludge drying beds to be dried to 40 percent solid and then hauled to Ox Mountain. Mr. Henry Hyde, manager of the Regional Waste Water Solids Study, explained that a study of solids management is underway for the nine Bay Area coun- ties. Commissioner Mullin asked him if the plan was compatible with the general objectives of Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde said that it was. Commissi.oner Goldberg asked about water content of the sludge. Ms. Morton explained that the Ox Mountain location for sludge would have an e~cellent drainage system whereby water would be redirected around the perimeter of the sludge area and passed down drainage systems to the underground. Mr. Michael Joyce, engineer, explain~~~b51tiit was very expensive to haul sludge that i s wet, so they dr.jied.itjfit"'st. Commissioner Mathewson asked what the requirement is for dewatered sludge. Mr. Joyce noted that the actual law says it must be dried to 50 percent sludge, unless it is artificdally leached. The Commission noted that they would like more time to review the document and they continued the public hearing to the July 27, 1976, Planning Commission meeting. RESOLUTION OF INTENTION ZA-76-2 Resolution of Intention to amend the City's Zoning Ordinance relating to R-2 development standards and to minimum requirements for Planned Unit Developments. Secretary Hale presented the staff report. Several members of the Commission questioned why the R-2 standards should be changed. Secretary Hale stated that there were several properties within the City in R-2 zones whose properties were large and that the restriction of only being able to build a duplex unit on such a large parc~l made it financially infeasible for them to build. Mr. Hale used Mr. Montegani IS property at 17 Orange Avenue as an example. - 3582 - ZA-76-2, contld July 13, 1976 The Commission generally felt that there were reasons for establishing such restrictions and that until those reasons were reviewed, they would not be in favor of changing the requirements for this zone. They directed staff to further review the matter and bring it back to the Commission at a future date.

Secretary Hale presented the staff report and read into the record the conditions and limitations. Louis Arata, engineer, explained to the Commission that Gallo Glass had tried to purchase only a portion of this parcel for their needs, but that they were required to purchase the whole parcel. Therefore, they would like to divide it, using the portion necessary for their needs, and with the intent of possibly selling the remaining portion sometime in the future. Commissioner Mathewson moved that PM-76-131 be approved subject to all of the conditions of the staff report. Commissioner Bertucelli seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. COMMUNICATIONS Secretary Hale gave the Commission copies of the new Zoning Map, explaining that it would be on sale to the public for $2.00. Secretary Hale presented a staff report on the meeting schedule for the Planning Commission for this fiscal year.
