Brose to modify the exterior architectural treatment of the housing unit located at 3873 Shamrock Court in the PC (Planned Community) District. Secretary Hale presented the staff report, noting the conditions. Vice- Chairman Teglia noted that she would like to add Condition #15 to read: IIThat the applicant is hereby made aware of his responsibility to submit plans to the Homeowners I Association Architectural Review Board as required by the C. C. & R. IS. II Proponents: Mr. James A. Brose 3873 Shamrock Court South San Francisco, CA Mr. Richard Mukauda 3872 Shamrock Court South San Francisco, CA Opponents: None There was some discussion on the Homeowners I Association Architectural Review Board. Several members of the Commission felt that the City should be certain that plans are submitted to the Architectural Review Board and that the Board has approved such plans. Mr. Mukauda said that he is a member of the Board and that each member is supposed to be sent copies of all plans submitted to Hank Richman and that Hank Richman is to consider the plans approved if he does not hear from the members. He further stated that he is aware of the plans because he is a neighbor of Mr. Brose. Secretary Hale stated that they can impose a condition making the applicant aware of his responsibility to submit such plans to the Architectural Review Board, but that the City cannot get involved with enforcing the C.C. & R. IS. Commissioner Mullin asked Mr. Mukauda, 3872 Shamrock Court, if he had gotten a Use Permit for the addition to his house. Secretary Hale stated that a Use Permit at that time was not required. Zoning Administrator Costanzo stated that he approved the building permit on the premise that it was not generally visible from the public right-of-way. Commissioner Mullin noted that he had strong feelings about changing the original intent of the Planned Community District, stating that people buying into the area bought the home, expecting the area to look exactly the same 25 years hence as when they purchased it. He felt each applica- tion should be considered separately by the Commission, but that the accumulative effect should be looked at. The Commission generally had the same concerns. They felt there had to be a line drawn somewhere as to when the additions, etcetera, began to change the original intent of this District. Vice-Chairman Teglia moved that UP-76-342 be approved subject to all of the conditions of the staff report as well as the added Condition #15. Commissioner Goldberg seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. - 3573 - June 8, 1976 RESOLUTION NO. 2191 Staff report and resolution recommending to the City Council that the Planned Commercial and Light Industrial Zoning District (PCMl be amended to delete mandatory review and approval by City Council.

Commissioner Mullin introduced Resolution No. 2191 and it was adopted by a unanimous roll call vote. RESOLUTION OF INT~N~10N NO. 2192 Staff report and resolution of intention recommending that the South San Francisco Planning Commission consider amendments to the City1s Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance 353, as amended) to amend those restrictions pertain~ ing to minimum standards for location, type, and mixed uses of required parking facilities. Secretary Hale presented the staff report, recommending that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing to consider this amendment.

PM-129 Secretary Hale presented the staff report, noting to the Commission that the Final Parcel Map is in substantial compliance with the Teniative Parcel Map. The Commission reviewed the map and accepted it as being in compliance with the Tentative Parcel Map. - 3574 - June 8, 1976 COMMUNICATIONS GOALS FOR DOWNTOWN Secretary Hale presented a report on the goals for the downtown area of South San Francisco. He further noted to the Commission the three options for planning the downtown area: Do nothing; conservation program; or re- build. He noted that there had been several meetings with the Downtown Assoca,~ti on whose ma in concern seemed to be to get a park i ng s tmucture con- structed. He further stated that the Downtown Association had developed a list of problems, with the parking structure heading the list. The Commission noted that most of the merchants in the downtown area are not necessarily the property owners; that it is about 50/50. They noted that the cooperation of both property owners and merchants would be necessary to do anything in the downtown area. The Commission further discussed the options open to them for the downtown area. Commissioner Teglia felt that a Conservation Program would best serve the downtown area. She q~ted that people in the area feel it is deteriorating and that something must be done, and that these people would be willing to get together with City staff to develop a plan for the area. Commissioner Goldberg felt that staff should layout a plan for the down- town area and present it to the merchants and the property owners for their input. There was some di scuss i on on how to get the merchants and property oWr"I'ers interested in possibly rejuvenating the downtown area, especially since it would probably cost each property owner some money. It was the feeling of the Commission that most of the businesses in the downtown area are serving the needs of the people in the area and are profitting, therefore, they might not be willing to spend much toward a rejuvenation program. Chairman Slade suggested that staff look around for some monies that might be avail- able to rejuvenate the area. The Commission generally felt that the only way to improve the downtown area was by a banning together of the merchants and property owners of that area, which meant finding a common goal or need. Commissioner Goldberg suggested that a survey be done of other cities that rejuvenated their downtown areas to see how they went about it. He suggested that objectives should be looked at first and then go back to goals. The Commission took no action on this, but staff stated that the Commission would be kept posted. GOOD AND WELFARE The Commission requested a status report on the suit against the City by George Smith. Secretary Hale said that the claim against the City was confusing because it contained a lot of misinformation. The City Council denied the claim because it was filed beyond the legal deadline. The Commission cancelleq.~heqe~t"regYlar/meeting of June 22 because there was nothi ng schedul ed for tha't' "age"nda. June 8, 1976 There being nothing further to be considered under Good and Welfare and no further communications or matters of interest for the Commission, Chairman Slade announced that the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission would be held on July 13, 1976, at 8:00 p.m. at West Orange Library Auditorium. The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 p.m. Wesley Slade, Chairman Planning Commission City of South San Francisco David C.
