located at 753 Del Monte Avenue, based on public testimony and the materials submitted to the City of South San
Francisco City Council which include, but are not limited to: "El Rancho Hightland Tentative Map,", dated July
7, 1997 prepared by Michael D. Ashley; Site plans, floor plans and landscape plans prepared by

meeting; October 2, 1997 Planning Commission staff report; and the October 2, 1997 Planning Commission
meeting; December 17, 1997 City Council staff report; the December 17, 1997 City Council meeting:
1. The project is consistent with the provisions of the City's General Plan which supports
residential development on the El Rancho School site, and specifically with the Housing Element which supports
provision of additional market rate housing in the community to meet ongoing demand. The proposed density of
5.6 units per acre for the 5 acres to be developed with dwellings is within the overall density of 8 units per acre
provided in the City's General Plan.
2. The ten (10) acre site is physically suited for the proposed five (5) acre single family subdivision
and five (5) acre school site.
3. The development will create a residential environment of sustained desirability and stability and
will result in an intensity of land use similar to adjacent single family neighborhoods. The proposed density of
5.6 units per acre and the general style and quality of the new residences and site improvements is substantially
similar to recently approved subdivisions in the City.
4. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project in accordance with the
provision of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 97-037
identifies several potential adverse impacts attributable to the development of thirty-eight (38) new residences.
The impacts can be reduced to a level of insignificance through the implementation of mitigation measures. A
program is established to ensure that impacts are reduced to a level of insignificance. Mitigation measures,
including a mitigation monitoring plan, have been incorporated into the project or made conditions of approval
which will reduce identified impacts to a level of insignificance.
5. The subdivision of the El Rancho School Site allowing the developer of thirty-eight (38) single
family residences, will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor
unreasonable detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements. The use is compatible with the existing
uses. Site improvements including the provision of a public street, upgrades to the public infrastructures,
circulation conflicts and provide a streetscape that is comparable to the surrounding neighborhood.
6. The thirty-eight new residentces and fencing along the public right-of-way comply with the
City's Design Guidelines.
7. The residences and the Tentative Subdivision Map comply with the requirements of South San
Francisco Municipal Code Title 20 Zoning Regulations and Title 19 Subdivision Ordinance and the requirements
of the State Subdivision Map Act.
8. The design and improvements of the Tentative Subdivision Map are not in conflict with any
known existing public easements.
