RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council approve by resolution, to enter into an agreement with the San Mateo County Flood Control District for the Construction and Maintenance of a Habitat Mitigation area adjacent to the Colma Creek channel and also accept an easement for the placement of a pedestrian bridge. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: As a result of removing and making improvements to the Colma Creek Channel between South Spruce and San Mateo Avenues by the San Mateo County Flood Control District (District), a portion of wildlife habitat was lost. To mitigate this loss the District was required to enter into an agreement with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) to refurbish areas along the Colma Creek Channel downstream of Utah Ave. In exchange for installing a pedestrian bridge across the channel within the same area on a portion of District's property, as required by the BCDC for the City's Water Quality Control Plant refurbishments, the City agreed to become a co-applicant in the project and would also be granted an easement for the bridge by the District. The District has provided us with an agreement to satisfy these requirements and when signed we will proceed with the appropriate easement documents. FUNDING: The District will fund the entire project and maintain it for a five year period. Only the bridge is to be maintained by the City and that cost is covered under current approved opera~udgets. pproved By! k. [, ~ Terry White M3~.~. Nagel (~ ' ' Terry White(J . --..

BACKGROUND: On October 27, 2004 the City Council approved the Fire Depan:ment's recommendation to provide non- emergency BLS ambulance service.

The cost to purchase and equip the ambulance is approximately $90,000. The Leader Corporation is a California based ambulance manufacturer. The Leader Corporation is currently under contract to the Orange County Fire Authority (Exhibit A) to provide these types of ambulances. It is the recommendation of the Fire Department to authorize the purchase of a Type 11 ambulance from the Leader Corporation under the terms of the Orange County Fire Authority contract with modification as required. FUNDING: Staff recommends that authorization be granted for the purchase of: By: 1. Type II ambulance, not to exceed $90,000. 2.

Nagel, City Manager SUBJECT: Agreement between the City of South San Francisco and the South San Francisco Chapter of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 1569 RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sig~]t an agreement with the South San Francisco Chapter of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 1569. Local 1569 is the recognized bargaining agency for this diverse group of City staff. BACKGROUND PERS is offering certain public agencies that are facing financial hardship, the opportunity to participate in their "Fresh Start" program to reduce the short-te]-rn of paying for PERS rates. The Fresh Start program would permit the City to increase the number of years within which it would have to pay for the unfunded liabilities associated with providing City employees with their PERS benefits with the result that the City would have a lower PERS employer rate. 13ecause the City's financial condition was such that short-term financial savings offered by the Fresh Start program would help the City in its efforts to minimize or avoid layoffs, and to retain essential and valuable services; the City and the AFSCME bargaining unit met and discussed what could be done to minimize the financial impacts. Based on Council's direction, a program has been agreed upon with this unit to include an extension to the current contract. A side letter agreement to the current Memorandum of Understanding document has been prepared, which incorporates the following agreed-upon terms and conditions of employment: Staff Report- November 10, 2004 Subject: (Agreements between the City of South San Francisco and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Bargaining Unit) Page 2 AFSCME ' · Maintenance of Benefits City's proposals for Sr. Building Maintenance Craftsworkers and Electrical Tech, will be implemented as indicated in Jennifbr Bower's letter dated September 9, 2004 VEBA language as delineated in Side Letter K Sick Leave Management language as delineated in Side Letter K 2004-2005 1.5% COLA 2005-2006 Salary Survey methodology, with Fresh Start, to be determined by agreement from all Bargaining Units and City Representative 2006-2007 3% COLA with $60 (sixty) increase to tool allotment for a total of $400 per year, and a $25 (twenty-five) increase to shoe allotment for a total orS175 per year. 2007-2008 3% COLA with a $25 (twsnty-five) increase in Standby Pay and Standby language to be re-evaluated There will be an opportunity in the 0(;/07 and 07/08 extension years to open the contract to 2 (two) negotiable items per year.

The budget amendment also freezes one vacant Building Maintenance Custodian for a portion of the 2004-05 year, to result in total savings of $57,000 for 2004- 05. BACKGROUND/DISCUS SION: As Council will recall, one of the strategies for dealing with the budget shortfall this fiscal year due to a continued decline in General Fund revenues was to take advantage of the "fresh start" refinancing of the City's unfunded liability with the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). In order to take full advantage of the savings from a fresh start refinancing, an amendment was needed to each bargaining unit's Memorandurrt of Understanding (MOU). Such an amendment was needed to specify that the savings the City was realizing by amortizing the unfunded retirement liabilities over a longer time period, and the resulting lowered PERS rate, would not count as savings in the City's PERS rate for salary survey purposes for setting compensation rates. Without that amendment, some of the savings the City would realize simply from spreading the costs of the liability out over a longer time would be passed along to employee groups in the form of higher wages, due to the way the City's salary survey methodology has evolved during many years of meet and confer processes. As of the time of this writing, all bargaining units except AFSCME, the largest bargaining unit, have agreed to MOU language changes that would leave the Ci'Iy cost neutral in the salary survey methodology so that the City can realize the full savings from the refinancing. AFSCME is still in the process of finalizing its latest proposal, and it is expected that staff will bring their proposal to the Council in closed session on November 10 prior to Council's considering this staff report. Staff Report Subject: Budget Adjustment to Generate Additional Salary Savings Page 2 of 2 If, at the November 10 Council meeting, the terms of AFSCME's proposal are for some reason not acceptable to Council, staff recommends that the Council consider cutting the 2004-05 General Fund Operating Budget by an amount that, on an annual basis, is roughly equivalent to the extra costs the City will have to pay AFSCME members if th ey do not agree to the change in survey methodology sought by the City and agreed to by the other bargaining units. Those extra costs to the City for AFSCME employees are estimated to be $57,000 for 2004-05. In order to realize at least $57,000 on an annual basis, staff is recommending that one Sr. Parks Maintenance Worker position be frozen, effective January 1, 2005, after an employee retires in December. The incumbent has announced his retirement and no layoff will be required. On an ongoing basis, that position costs approximately $86,000; half a year's actual savings in 2004-05 will be approximately $43,000. In order to realize a full $57,000 in savings during 2004-05, Public Works will also freeze a vacant Building Maintenance Custodian for a portion of this fiscal year in order to make up the extra $14,000 in savings needed for this fiscal year. In 2005- 06, the Custodian position could be reinstated, as the full year of a Parks position reduction will result in more than $57,000 in savings during 2005-06. FISCAL IMPACT: The attached budget amendment resolution will freeze the Public Works' Operating Budget by one permanent Sr. Parks Maintenance Worker, effective January 1, 2005, and by one Building Maintenance Custodian for a portion of the year to realize a total of $57,000 in savings for 2004- 05.

Case No.: Appellant: Owner: Assessor's Parcels: P04-0043:UP04-0011 & ND04-0002 Russ Hampton Costco Wholesale 015-173-040/080; 01:5-180-170 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council uphold the Planning Commission action to certify Negative Declaration ND04-0002 and approve P04-0043, and deny the Appeal. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: (,4 complete discussion of the proposed project is contained in the attached Planning Commission staff report dated September ] 6, 2004.) In April 2004, Costco Wholesale submitted an application for a cc,nditional use pelmit to construct a 16- position retail fueling facihty on a 3.63 acre site located along the south side of Belle Air Road at South Airport Boulevard and to reconfigure the existing main Costco parking lot and re-landscape the site. The proposal includes construction of a 32ft. x 120 ft. canopy over eigat gasoline dispensers, installation of three 30,000-gallon underground gasoline storage tanks, new landscaping and paving. Staff Report Subject: Page 2 of 3 Appeal - South Airport Costco Gas Station An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared and circulated for public review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The General Plan designates the project site and surrounding area as. Community Commercial, and the Zoning Ordinance designates the site Planned Commercial, both of which permit a gas station subject to approval of a conditional use permit. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project on September 16, 2004. As indicated in the attached meeting minutes, after hearing testimony from both the applicant and the public, the Planning Commission closed the public hearing and voted 5-2 to continue the matter to October 7, 2004 with direction to staff to review the record and prepare Findings for Denial for its consideration, and to have the City Attorney's office review the findings for a determination of adequacy. As outlined in the attached memo to the Planning Commission dated October 7, 2004, staffprepared draft Findings for Denial for the Commission's consideration, based on issues raised by the Commission at its September meeting. At the October 7, 2004 Planning Commission meeting, several Commissioners noted that their concerns, including emergency access to the Water Quality Control Plant, had been addressed and suggested conditions to further mitigate potential queuing impacts. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Commission voted 6-1 to certify the Negative Declaration and approve the Use Permit. Appeal Mr. Russ Hampton, 248 South Airport Boulevard, appealed the Commission's decision. As indicated in his appeal application, the basis for his appeal is that the Commission had voted against the project at the September 16, 2004 meeting and then voted again on October 7, 2004 to approve. He questioned why the Commission re-voted. As discussed above, at the September hearing the Planning Commissioners did not vote to deny the project; they voted to continue the matter to their October meeting, directing staff to review the record and prepare Findings for Denial for their subsequent review and consid¢..ration. Upon review of this further information and after imposing additional conditions of approval, tl~.e Commission voted to approve the project. CONCLUSION The objection raised in Mr. Hampton's appeal is limited to whether the Planning Commission voted in a consistent or logical manner, not whether any aspect of the project is inconsistent with the City's General Plan or Zoning Ordinance, or detrimental to the public health or welfare. As discussed above, the Planning Commission did not vote on the project at its September meeting; it voted to continue the matter to its October meeting for further action. After review of the entire record, the Planning Commission found sufficient merit to support the Findings for Approval. StaffReport Subject: Appeal - South Airport Costco Gas Station Page 3 of 3 Consequently, it is recommended that the City Council uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to certify Mitigated Negative Declaration ND04-00024, and approve U'P04-0011, and deny the subject appeal.

BACKGROUND: The Costco Warehouse/Gas Station project site is located approximately 1/4-mile east of I-Iighway 101 on the east side &South A/rport Boulevard on the north and south sides of Belle Air Road. The easterly two thirds of the southerly parcel is presently developed with overflow parking for the Costco warehouse facility located on the north side of Belle Air Road, and the westerly third of the site is undeveloped. Surrounding land uses include: Colma Creek to the north; former US Customs building to the south; the City's Water Quality Control Plant to the east; and industrial uses to the west. The General Plan designates the project site and surrounding area as Community Commercial, and the Zoning Ordinance designates the site Planned Commercial, both o£which permit a gas station subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Required approvals include adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of a preliminary Transportation Demand Management Plan and Use Permit by the Planning Commission, issuance of building permits by the Building Department, issuance of an Authority to Construct Permit ~om the P. 2 Staff Report RE: P04-0043 -So. Airport Costco Gasoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 2 of 11 Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and an Underground Siorage Tank Permit from San Marco County. A grading permit and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit would also be required. in November 2002, the Planning Commission reviewed an apphcation for a Costco Gasoline Station on the easterlyportion o£the siteat.the 140_Belle Air:.Road. This applicafion was deniedby thePlannifig' Commission based primarily on concerns with potential underground tank leakage in proximity of the Bay, and also with traffic concerns. The apphcant appealed and in January 2003 the Council denied the appeal and upheld the Planning Commission's decision (Findings of Denial attached). The applicants have now revised the project, and have addressed the concerns raised by the Commission and Council. DISCUSSION: Project Description The applicant has proposed a 16-position retail fueling facility for Costco Wholesale members on a 3.63 acre site located along the south side of Belle Air Road at of South .4J_rport Boulevard. The fueling :facility would be located at the westernmost end of the site, and the e, asterly portion would continue to be used for overflow parldng for the Costco warehouse. In addition, the applicants propose to reconfigure the existing main Costco parking lot to provide parking ~sles that are perpendicular to the building rather than parallel as currently configured, greatly increasing pedestrian safety. In addition, virtually the entire lot is proposed to be re-landscaped to replace vegetation that is incompatible with the fairly harsh climactic and soil conditions on site. The gasoline station would be fully-aUtomated, self-service, and remotely-supervised. The project includes in,qtallafion ora 32ft. x 120 ft. canopy mounted on fluted concrete block columns (to match the existing Costco Warehouse building) over eight gasoline dispensers, as well as new landscaping mad paving. The project also involves the installation of three 30,000 gallon underground gasoline storage tanks and a 6 ft. x 12 ft. enclosure to house electronic monitoring and alarm system~ and to provide a small work station for the attendant. Signage would be limited to externa~y illuminated lettering attached to each canopy face (18" x 16 ft. each), for a total of 96 square feet. The proposed hours of operation are 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, seven days a week, with possibly abbreviated hours on weekends. Although these hours exceed the wa:rehouse hours, a gasoline station .manager and/or attendant would be on site during all hours of operation. ingress to the site would be from Belle Air Road only, with egress previded via either Belie Air or an "exit only" driveway at South Airport Boulevard.

Airport Costco Gasolin~ Date: September 16, 2004 Page 3 of 11 Previous Project/Proposed Modifications In November 2002 and January 2003, the, Planning Commission and City Council, respectively, denied an earher application by Costco to constrac~ a gasoline fueling facility on property located at 140 Belle Air Road, based on the following concerns: · General Plan Consistency - East of 101 Area Plan Conservation section. The goal is to minimize indirect impacts to biological resources in the area. The Commission and Council found that the earlier project proposed to secure the underground tank,q in a manner inconsistent with the preferred method identified in the soils study. Additionally there was concern raised about the proximity of the ~:anks to the Bay and the fact that the fuel would contain MTBE. - East of101 Area Plan Land Use section. The goal is to encourage development that respects and tn character w-[th the Bay location. The Council and Commission found that underground fuel storage presents an unacceptable risk of environmental and biological damage, and that the additional traffic is inconsistent with the use of the Bay Trail as a pedestrian amenity. East of 101 Sub Area policy 3-5-1-8: the City should "encourage development of employee-serving amenities with restaurants, cafes, support commercial establishments such as dry-cleaners, to meet the needs of the East of 101 area. Adverse to the public health, safety and welfare 90,000 gallons of MTBE formulated fuel in underground tank.q p~ses too significant a risk to public health. The applicants have now modified the plarr~ in an attempt to address the Commission's and Council's concerns. Key changes from the 2002 project are noted below: New Location: Gasoline facility has been relocated from the easternmost to the westernmost par. cel, adjacent to South Airport Boulevard, as far from the Bay as possible. Smaller Facility: Facility size has been reduced from 5 islands (20 fueling positions) to 4 islands (16 fueling positions). Vehicle Queuing: Vehicle stacldngfqueuing capacity is provided for 54-58 vehicles. Addkionally, Costco has developed a plan for special traffic controls to be implemented to increase queuing capacity during peak periods. This plan would provide up for stacking up to 96 vehicles. ' P. 4 Staff'Report RE: P04-0043 - So. Airport Costco'Gasoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 4 of 11 o 10. Bay Environment Enhancement: Costco will provide addlitional Bay Trail signs along the Belle Air Road bikeway, providing additional recognition o:~this important community amenity. Warehouse Parking Lot Remodel: Costco has expanded the project to include redevelopment of the existing Costco Wholesale parking lot. This will result in reconfiguhng the entire lot to provide parking aisles ~that are.perpendicular to:the:building :rather.than pamll~I as currently configured, greatly increasing pedestrian safety. In addition, virtually the entire lot will be re- landscaped to replace vegetation that is incompatible with the fairly harsh climactic and soil conditions on site. Increased Landscaping: Landscaping would exceed 3 acre~, more than19% of the site. Improved Tank Foundation: A continuous concrete mat slab foundation would be used under the gasoline storage tanks in place of the earlier design. This would increase the safety factor to 1.84, as calculated by Costco's geotechnical engineer and co~ffirrned by the City's consultants (see attached letter from Treadwell & Rollo). This represent,,; a 40% increase in the safety factor compared to the earlier proposal which used dead-man anchors, and which also met or exceeded all industry safety requirements. Improved Monitoring and Testing of UST System: Fueling equipment has been modified with current technological advances, to be compatible with the current regulations pertaining to monitoring and testing. Elimination of MTBE Additive: The gasoline additive MTBE has been removed from the market as of January 2004. Employee-serving Use: Costco has provided data to document how the project will serve the local employees and employers in the East of 101 area as well as regional Costco members, as follows: Per the ESRI Business Solutions data, 722 businesses operate in the East of 101 Area. Using Costco's Fiscal 2003 membership counts they concluded that more than 50% of those businesses have Costco membership accounts, l-a addition to the 370-plus Costco business memberships in the East of 101 Area, those b'ttsiness members have added 275 of their employees to their accounts as Costco members. The South San Francisco General Plan shows an exis~ag employment base in the East of 101 Area of 22,240 employees. A little over 50% of the households within a 30-minute drive time to the Costco warehouse are Costco members. Applying this percentage to the General Plan employment statistics, Costco estimates that the proposed Costco gas station would serve over 11,000 of the 22,240 employees working in the E of 101 Area. Although they admit this is an estimate ~y suggest that, given the high percentage of StaffReport RE: P04-0043 - So. Airport Costco Gasoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 5 of 11 Costco members who live in the surrounding area, it is reasonable to assume that a substantial percentage of the employees in the East of 101 Area would be Costco members. As such, Costco avers the gas station would clearly be an employee-serving amenity. General Development. Standards The project meets or exceeds all general development standards of the PC Planned Commercial Zone District as shown below: DEVZZ, OPMENT STANDARDS PC Planned Commercial Setbacks - Front 20 feet minimum - Rear None Proposed Project 20 feet none Height 60 feet 17.5 Parkqng Retail Warehouse - 5 space:; per 1,000 sf; 139,8:50 sf= 700 spaces 706 spaces Landscaping 10% rainimum 19.2% The site includes existing landscaped setbacks, 50 feet in depth along South Airport Blvd. and approximately 10 feet along Belle Air Road, which are proposed to be retained since they are in well- maintained condition and match the landscape treatment at adjacent Costco Warehouse facility. It should be noted that the entire South Airport Blvd. fi:ontage was upgraded in early 2000 by the Citf in fulfillment of Bay Trail requirements related to the sewage treatment plant upgrades. New and/or upgr~ed landscaping is proposed throughc~ut the both sites, including new trees, shrubs and groundcover. Overall, the proposed plan h~cludes 3.02 acres of landscaping on the 15.75 acre overall site (19.2%). The Design Review Board discussed the phms for this project at its April meeting and recommended that the plant palette be reworked for salty conditions. This was subsequently done and the current plans reflect the recommended changes wh/ch have been reviewed and found acceptable by the Design Review Board. Landscaping and new pathways were required by BCT)C as part of the Bay Trail improvement obligat/ons on the Water Quahty Control Plant upgrades. P. 6 Staff Report RE: P04-0043 - So. Airport Costco Gasoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 6 of 11 UNDERGROUND TANK¢ The proposal includes the installation of 3-30,000 gallon underground fuel tanks. The Commission has previously noted strong concern about the potential for leakage fi'orr~ the tanks and the resultant potential for contaminating the.Bay. _ Safety- tn terms of safety aspect of the proposed fuel tank and dispensing system, the applicant has proposed to include several safety features that would minimize the possibility of accidental fuel spills and/or leaks into the surrounding soil or groundwater. These features would include installation of double-wall fuel tanks, use of a hold down slab as part of the installe~fion to minimize movement, installation ora containment sump to collect fuel from leakage, overflows or water intrusion. The fueling system would also be equipped w/th a tank monitor and leak detections system operating on a 7day per week, 24 hour per day basis that would have the capability of shutting down fueling is a leak were to be detected. Fuel dispensers would include an automatic shut-offvalve in the event the pump were to be struck by a vehicle, or a vehicle left the area with a filler hose attached. Emergency shut-off switches would be installed at various locations around the proposed facility that would include an audible alarm. A diagram of the tank and containment monitoring system is attached. A peer review of the proposed system was undertaken by the City's consultants, Gettler-Ryau, gasoline station civil engineers and contractors. Based upon their review of the plans, the proposed fueling system meets industry standard criteria for these types ofinstallatiom. The following mitigation measure has been included to ensure that any safety issues are reduced to a less than significant level: 'The fueling system engineer and/or contractor shall provide written certification to the City of South San Francisco that all applicable codes, standards and manufacturers' recommendations have been met as part o£the installation and set-up of the fuel dispensing system. This shall be done prior to operation of the system. TRAFFIC A traffic study was conducted as part of the environmental review w~ich included a queuing analysis to ensure that the proposed site design is able to accommodate the stacking needs for the use. '_Project Traffic - The project would be expected to capture a significant amount of existing vehicle trips from Highway 101 during the three peak traffic periods anal.yzed in the traffic study (AM, PM & Saturday 1-2PM), as indicated in the table below. During a weekday AM peak traffic hour ' (when the Costco retail store would be closed) about 36% of the ~xpected 294 two-way trips are expected to be attracted from traffic already passing by the site on South Airport Boulevard. During a weekday PM peak traffic hour about 46% of the gas sta'fion's expected 410 trips are P. 7 Staff Report RE: P04-0043 - So. Airport Costco Gasoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 7 of 11 expected to be attracted from existing Costco customers, with about 29% attracted from traffic already passing by the site on South ~Mrport Boulevard and the majority of the remaining 25% of customers diverted from the 1-380 or U.S. 101 interchanges.

However, the project StaffReport RE: P04-0043 - So. Airport Costco Gasoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 8 of 11 would increase delays at the impacted intersections, necessitat~ag the following mitigation measures: South Airport Blvd/I-380 On-ramp/No. Access Rd. Provide a "fair share" contribution towards providing addilional pavement markings and signing.informing southbound drivers of.the possibilityofmaking right tums to i:380 from two lanes. - If Caltrans chooses not to significantly adjust signal timing at this intersection after improvements by the Airport the applicant shall provide a thir share contribution towards providing a second left turn lane on the southbound South' Airport Blvd. approach as well as providing two departure lanes and one approach lane on the No. Access Rd. leg of the intersection. South Airport Blvd/Utah - Provide a fair share contribution (East of 101 Traffic Impact Fee) towards improvement needs · 'already identified for this location. South Airport Blvd/Belle Air Rd. - Monitor use of southbound left turn lane and lengthen by 50-125 feet when maximum queues begin to extend towards the lane. Alternatively, provide loop detectors (if acceptable to the City Engineer) along entire length of turn pocket. Available storage - As designed, sixteen vehicles cma be fueling at the same time, w/th room for five - eight vehicles per lane to queue on the approach to each set of pumps, for a total storage capacity of 54-58 vehicles. To achieve max/mum storage during peak demand times will require that a Costco employee be located at the entrance to the gas station and direct entering vehicles to the shortest queue line, which is included as a mitigation measure. As vehicles queues extend toward Belle Air Road, Costco proposes to temporarily close the driveway nearest So. Airport Blvd. and have all drivers enter the most easterly driveway. This would increase stacking capacity by au additional 35-38 vehicles, for a total of 89-96 ears. MaXimum Queuing Demand Maximum queuing demand was calculated for peak weekly gasoline demands of 50-60% above projected yearly averages. Based on a survey of the E1 Camino Real Costco store conducted in June 2001, when that station was experiencing exceedingly large demands, the maximum queues anticipated at this location would be about 68-70 w. hicles if this location were to pump the same P. 9 Staff'Report RE: P04-0043 - So. Airpor~ Costco G:asoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 9 of 11 amount ofgasoI/ne as the E1 Caminc facility. Since this level of activity is not anticipated at the So. A/rpon facility, the study concludes that the 89-96 storage spaces, should be more than adequate to preclude vehicles backing onto Belle Air Road. The queuing plan has been reviewed and found acceptable by the Pohce Department. 2'DM - The project is projected to generate irt excess of 100 peak hour vehicle trips2, requiring mitigation in accordance with the County's Congestion Management Plan as well as the City's TDM Ordinance. The City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) requires mitigation of all new trips for projects which generate over 100 "peak'hour" vehicle trips through implementation of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program. Since TDM at a gas station is impractical, staffis proposing the requirement be met through implementation of a TDM program for all employees at the ex/sting Costco Wholesale Warehouse at 451 South Airport. The applicant has prepared the attached preliminary TDM plan which provides for the requisite mode shift goal of 28%, and includes all mandatory elements includ/ng participation in shuffle programs, carpool & vanpool ridematching and preferential parldng, guaranteed ride home program, secure bicycle parldug, shower & locker facilities, an on-site program coordinator, etc. ENVIRONMENTAL REV-mW An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared and circulated for public review in accordance with the Califomia Environme~tal Quality Act (CEQA). In addition to traffic, discussed above, other key environmental issues identified in the study were air quality, geology, hazardous materials, and site drainage/storm water rm~off. Air Quality- Construction activity at fhe project site will generate exhaust emissions fi:om vehicles and equipment, as well as dust that will affect air quality. Temporary construction-related emissions consisting of fine particulate matter are of the greatest concern. These emissions can result fi:om a variety of construction ac'fivifies, including removal of pavement, excavation, grading, vehicle travel on unpaved surfaces, ani. diesel equipment exhausts. Such emissions, if uncontrolled, can lead to adverse health effects as well as nuisance complaints. Therefore, a number of mitigation measures are included for controlling construction-period air quality impacts. Adherence to these mitigation measures will reduce these impacts to a less than significant level. 2 The traffic study estimates that the project would cu:eate 188 new trips during the weekday AM peak hour, 102 new trips during the PM peak hour, and 154 new trips during fl~e Saturday peak hour. P. 10 Staff Report RE: P04-0043 - So. Airport Costco Gasoline Date: September 16, 2004 Page 10 of 11 Geology - There are a number of geotechnical issues at the project site which impact construction, including the presence of artificial i5/1 over Bay mud, which is susceptible to liquefaction, and lateral spreading. The attached geotechnical report, which was peer reviewed by the City's consultant, the geotechnical and hazardous materials fn-m of Treadwell & Rollo, indicates that the presence of potential liquefaction and other soil and geotechnical hazards has been taken into account in .the proj eot. plans, so less-than-significant impacts are anticipated with regard..to liquefaction and lateral spreading. Site Drainage and Storm Water Runoff- A Storm Water Polluhon Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required to address both construction activities and operational activities which would reduce the impacts to a less than a significant level. Comment letters on the draft document, attached, were received fi:om the following: PG&E, BCDC and SF Bay Trail. A response document outlining and addressing the issues raised is currently being prepared, and will be forwarded to the Commission prior to the public hearing. General Plan The subject site is designated "Community Commercial" in the General Plan. This category allows for a variety of commercial uses including retail and department stores, restaurants, recreation, service ' stations, banks and other financial offices, motels, etc. The proposed use is consistent with this General Plan category. Additionally, the City's East of 101 Area Plan, adopted in 1994, continues as a gu/de for detailed implementation of General Plan policies. The project site is located in an area designated Planned Commercial in the Area Plan. The Plan notes that retail use.,,, along South Airport Boulevard "are intended to provide services to the employees of the East of 101 Area as well as accommodate destination uses such as warehouse style retail specialty stores." As outlined earlier in this report, there are several other General Plan policies that pertain to development on this site, including East of 101 Area Plan Conservatiem and Land Use policies. It is staff's belief that the project as currently modified has addressed the Critical issues raised by the Commission and Council. Most significantly, the underground tanks have been relocated as far fi:om the bay as possible, the tank safety factor has been increased substantially by inclusion of a continuous concrete mat slab foundation, and MTBE has been phased out of the raarket. Additionally, Costco has provided data to support the "employee-serving" nature of its business in the East of 101 area. CONCLUSION: The project, as revised in the current application, meets or exceeds all general development standards of the PC Planned Commercial Zone District which allows gasoline sales subject to an approved Use Permit. The subject site is designated .... ,, Commumty Commermal in the General Plan.

The project site is abutted by the City's Water Quality Control Plant to the east and very large above-ground aviation fuel tank.q to the south The site is also located along a major arterial, South Airport Blvd., which runs parallel to US 101, a principle transpOrtation artery for the region and state. The General Plan recog~fizes the regional draw for uses along the 101 corridor and supports visitor-serving uses. Additionally, as evidenced by the popularity of the Costco fueling facility on E1 Camino Real, there is believed to be; a significant demand for the proposed project. As discussed, an Initial Study,2vl. itigated Negative Declaration has been prepared which has thoroughly analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project, concluding that all identified impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level.

The proposed use, consisting of the operation cfa 5 pump g~moline facility with 3, 30,000 :gallon underground storage tanks, located in the East of 101 area of the City of South San FrancisCo, is inconsistent with East of 101 Area Plan goal #8, section 8.2 "Conservation." The goal is to minimize indirect impacts to biological resources with the East of 101 Area..The current project proposes to secure .the underground storage tank,~ in a manner .inconsistent with the preferred method identified in the softs study report. SeeMinutes of ~7'lanning Commission Meeting, Nowember ?, 2002. .'The evidence submitted bYthe applicants' expert indicates tMt the underground storage ,.tank.~ would '!sway" towards the Bayduring a m~jor earthqmke. The Planning :Commission and City Council were concerned that the effect of such a sway could .degrade the integrity of the tank piping system as well as.the 'nuke themselves. The ipubtic expressed numerous concerns regarding the integrity cf the tanks during and subsequenT to a seismic event. · Additionally, concerns regarding the increase in traffic were expressed and the proximity ..'.of the gasoline facility ~o the Bay noting thru if approved, the facility would the closer m :the Bay than any other fuel facility in the East of 1'01 area. Applicant stated that the fuel :sold at the proposed facility would-.contain MTBE, until such time as the State of · California phased out such.use. Il is general knowledge, based public reports prepared on behaLf.of.the.State of California, that MTBE will erode underlffound storage tanka and '.their connecting piping. Moreover, the State of California hasdetermi~ed tint MTBE poses a significant risk to groundwater and humau health. · Therefore, the Planning Commission and Cily CouncSJ. find, based on ali the testimony -received, that thc. potential for tank leakage, in the normal courseof operation and in pamcuiar during/after a smsmic evcng.presenp. 2 3unacceptable risk to the sensitive 'Findings for Denial Page 2 of 2 bioi0g/cal resources in the East of.101 area and to human health in genera/and therefore .-denies.lJse_Rermit.#0.t.-_0004 .The East of 101 Area Plan, Goal #1, Section 1.4} Land Use, encourages.development in the area th,t respects and is in character ~with the Bay iooalion. The proposed large gasoline facility will conla-ibute additional lraffic in the area, which is inconsistent with :the'use of pedestrian men/ties m~ch as the Bay'Trail. Additionally, the presence of 5 · gasoline pumps, with 90,000 gallons of stored fuel, presents a risk of environmental and · :biological damage that would adversely affect the Bay as a local and regional resource. 'Moreover, the applicant has not submitted any plans that reflect:an.intent to-promote'the BaY as a community resource. Therefore, the Plmming Commission and City Council ~d that the proposed facility does not reflect.the character of the Bay environment. 'The proposed conslzacfion and operation o~f the gasoline' facility that has a capacity to store up to 90,000 gallons of M'TBB formulated fuel in underground storage mnlr¢ poses.a .significant risk to the public healfh, safety and welfare. Without evidence indicating that :there is'a shortage of gasoline facJlities in the area sufficient to serve the employees in the '~Eam of 101 area or residents of the City, the public benefit of the facility is outweighed by the potential for leaks fi.om the tmfrs,'fi-om fueling of motor vehicle and tank failure during seismic events.

While Community Commercial generally permits service stations, General Plan policy 3- 5,I-8, which is part of the Bast of 101 Sub Area of the adopted General Plan, is more · specific and states that, in the Bast of 101 Area, the City should "encourage development · of employee-serv/ng amenities wi~2~ restaurants, cafes, support commerci~j establishments such as dry-cleaners, to meet the needs of the East of 101 area.

We were provid~ a copy of the Kleinfelder ealeuiations and a letter explain~g the design dated September 8, 21)04. We undmmaad that it is Kleinfolder', design that is being submitted for constmei/on_ Three 30,000-gallon gasoline tanks are to be installed.at the Costco site in South San Fnmcisco. Groundwater is about four feet below the.ground surface. We undm'stand that the Kleinfelder design includes a 7-inch thick reinforced concrete slab at the ground surface"and another slab, 8 inches thick, below the tanks with tie-downs to the lower slab. The tie-down slab is to have the same Ieagth as the tanks and be t.5 feet wider than the tanks. Groundwater was conservativeIy assumed in the design to be at thc ground surface. Based on these dimensions and critc~hh the design was found to have a safety factor against buoyancy of 1.84.

Dear Ms. Kalkin: Thank.you for the opportunity to comment on the above referenced project. The Bay Trail Project is an organization that plans, promotes and advocates for the implementation of a continuous 500-mile bicycling and hiking path around San Frandsco Bay that will pass through 47 cities and all nine Bay Area counties..To date, over half the length of the Bay Trail alignment has been developed. %e.Pr°P0sed 'Project is located in an are~ with existing Bay Trail spur and spine segments. The Initial 'Study and Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/DMND) refers to Bay Trail signage as part of theproposed project. We believe.that appropriately placed signage on Belie Air Road directing the public toward the well-established recently completed Bay Trail segment adjacent to Coitus Creek mould be a great asset to trail users. Due to the high volume of traffic entering and exiting the existing Costco fadlity, and the anticipated increase that will result from the construction of the gasoline fueling station, signage in both the existing parking lot and the new fueling fadlity ale~ng drivers to the presence of cyclists as they exit these areas onto Belle Air Road are recommended. At a site visit on August 20, 2004, several contractors working on the parking lot resurfacing project .had trucks and equipment parkedin the striped Class ~ bike lane on the north side o~ Belle Air Road. In order to facilitate the safe and unrestricted flow of bicycle traffic in the area, contractor's vehicles should-be ·parked inside, the Cos'b:o .parking lot, or at another convenient location :~hat is outside the.bike, lane. '. The Bay Trail Project provides signs with the Bay Trail logo free of charge to municipalities. In addition, our staff would be happy to assist the project proponent in determining the appropriate placement of signs.

The pathway isa requirement of BCD. C Permit No. 8-98, issued to the City of South San l~rancisco for its Water Quality Treatment Plant at the terminus of Belie Air Road. The BCDC permit, as. amended through June 3, 2003, requires, the City to install, maintain, and permanently omaarantee the use of the approved pathway improvements, which indude a bikeway, sidewalk, landscaping, and signage. It appears the proposed fueling station project would require nexar curb cuts for eight new lanes entering and'exiting the.fueling station,, and possibly otZer modifications of:the-path- .way. The Shidy also.discuSses significant increases, irt Vehicular traJYJc,'which.suggests'.that'Oxe proposal could create.unsafe conditions for cycli.qts and pedestriarm who frequent the'pathway. The Draft Mitigated Declaration should, therefore, provide: (1) det~dled information concem- ing proposed modifications of the sidewalk, striping, pathway landscaping, and signage; (2)· analysis of the significance of project impacts, on the safety-and rem'eational experience of users of the pathway; and, (3) if warranted, 'alternatives for mitigating such impacts, which would be acceptable under the terms and conditions of theBCDC permit'Please note, amy. alteration or realigx~nent of the pathway design Would require prior approval by the Commission, and possibly an amendment to the'permit.

O0 -Page 2 :SITE C:ONDITIONS The existing Costco Wholesale warehoUse is located at 451 Sou:/h Ah-pon Boulevard in South San l~rancisco, in a primarily industrial area north of the Sam Francisco Iutenmtional Ah-port. The existing warehouse is 122,300 square-feet and has been in operation since 1987. At this time it is proposed to develop a 20-fueling position Costco Gasoline facility on the. southwest comer of the site. Figure I illustrates the proposed site development plan, including the new .Costco Gasoline facility. Given both the retail and necessarily auto dependent nature of the proposed fuel station, it seems intuitive thai Transportation Demand Management policy 'would :not apply to this type of land use, HoWever,as requested by the City, Costcohas made a gOo~t faith effort to develop a TI)M program targeting empl-oyee trips (both for the exisdug warehouse and the proposed fuel station) in an atteanpt to address the fundamental purpose of the City's TDM policy of alleviating traffic . congestion'by reducing drive-alone commute!rips during peak tra~Sc periods. · SITE OPERATIONS Travel Demand · /Given :~the retail nature of the subject development, trips generated by the Site can be summarized :~to three.categories: .. · . :Costco.member shopping trips; · - ..Costco employee commmer trips; and " · ' · ~reight. delivery trips. The nature of the Costco operations (i.e., bulk purchasing, busin.~ss wholesale shopping, and vehicular 'fueling) necessitate vehicular travel by customers due to the need for vehicles to transport the goods and gasoline purchased. This is consistent with all retail uses in the faro that the retailer has httle or no control over how and/or when customers travel to and from the subjoin site. As such, based .on discussions with City of South San Francisco staff and common with most TDM programs, the focus of this plan is to .target .Costco employee commuter trips and :encourage those to sb~ft to.alternative travel modes. work .Force and Work Shifts The existing Costco Warehouse currently employs 212 people woZking in varying shifts, seven days a week..

CALIFORNIA South San Francisco Airport Blvd Costco Preliminary TDM Pian .Project #: 5684.00 ....... Page 4 Because of this staggered shift operation, Costco already impleracnts an extremely effective TDM strategy by scheduling employee shift changes outside of the typical com~uter peak time periods (6:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 to 7:00 p.m.). Only approximately 17-percent of the employees' schedules require them to commute during the .typic~fl a.m. peak period (6:00 to 10:00 a.m.), and only 22-percent-of the employees are scheduled so that they must commute dating the typical p.m peak period (3:00 to 7:00 p.m.). Further analysis of'the currant employee shift times indicates that, during the a.m..peak period, a maximum of 6-percent of the total daily . employee trips occur during .any gi'een hour and s~m~ly, during the p.m. peak pcriocl, only 7- percent of the total daily employee trips occur during any given hour. By worMng with this type of staggered employee shift schedule, Costco ¢mplwee traffic has a substantially reduced impact on the surrounding transportation system during these critical peak opgrating periods. Out of the 218 existing emploYees who .must commute To-the"warehouse -eaCh day, on. aVerage 'the ~on Boulevard Costco generates approximately 88 a.m. peak period (6:00 to 10:00 a.m.) employee ~ps (13 during the' peak hour) and appro×imate!y 48 .p.m. peak. period (B:00 to 7:00 p.m.) employee trips (16 during thepeak hour). Also important fix the evaluation and solection of TDM strategies are the locations of employee residences in relation .to the employment site. The .proximity of ~-aployee homes is a primary · factor, in dictating what travel modes are feasible and options existing'for employee commuting. :Table :1 smmmarizes the residence location, by zip code, for.all ex. bniu. g .employees at the South ~San.

'ALTNERATIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS Public Transit The South San Francisco Airport Boule~vard Costco is very Well served by public transit. Two San Marco Public Transit (SamTrans) transit lines travel directly along Airport Boulevard past the subject property, Route 292: SF ,4i~port - Hilisdale S.C. .and Route 397: San Francisco - .29alo.~lto Catrrain. There is a SamTrans transit stop located directly in front of the' Costco site .~. the ~;comer of the South Ah-port Boulevard/Belle Air Road intersection. Iu addition, fouz 3amTzans rapid bus routes (lVX, K.X, l~X, and PX) travel in close proxitn{ty to the site along .:',~ighway 101.

Given that 76-percent of the Airport Boulevard Costco employees live witb{~ ten ,tn~les 'of the warehouse, these local trips can, in ma.y cases, be served as conveniently by public · Umasit.as by driving a car..However, one obstacle to early shift Costco employees.' ability- to use public transit is the fact that SamTrans dc~es not begin service before 5.a.m. ' .In ;tanuary 2003 a new BART line will open'to the San Fraucisco Iutemational Airport. This line will travel south from the existing BART line to the airport in relative pro~{tn{ty to Airport Boulevard and.the subject' property. This line will offer additional, and perhaps more convenient~public transit choices. . for the .empl°yees of.the Costco warehouse. · Ride Sharing .Pddesharing with fellow employees is more attractive to those with longer cotntnute distances. The success in the formation' of employ~e carpools and vanpools .to the site will largety depend on the implementation of an on-site .employee transportation coordinator CETC) who can assist and be-respons~le for promoting, facilitating,, and .coora~nating carpools and vanpools for employees with s~tnilar sb~ft patterns.

Airport Blvd. P04-0043~ UP04-0011 & ND04-0002 Use permit to construct an automated self-service fueling facility consisting of 4 pump islands containing 8 gasoline dispensers (::6 fueling positions), a pump island canopy, 3-30,000 gallon ur~derground fuel tanks and minor accessory structures, generating in excess of 100 additional average daily trips at 479 South Airport Boulevard and to reconfigure the parking and landscaping in the main Costco warehouse parking lot at 45:L South Airport Boulevard, in the Planned-Commercial (P-C) zone district, in accordance with SSFMC section 20.24.030(c) APN# 0::5 173 080, 0::5 :L73 040, 0::5 ::80 :L70 Klm Sanford, Costco Wholesale, presented the team and noted that they have complied with the Planning Commission and the City Council's concerns. Stephanie Gordon, South Airport Warehouse Manager, noted that the Costco facility at the South Airport site has been an active participant in the community. She added that they provide assistance to Martin Elementary School and are also active with the Chamber of Commerce. Bruce Creager, Barghausen Consulting Engineers, gave a PowerPoint prese~tation and noted that the~gas station has been relocated and the gas tanks have been reinforced with a mat slab foundation which increases the safety factor by 40% over the previous proposal. He added that MTBE is no longer in the market as of 3anuary 2004. He also pointed out that they would continue to maintain the Bay Trail and the warehouse parking lot would be reconfigured. Public Hearing opened. Sam Twenat spoke in favor of the proposal and noted that the location is ideal for shopping and getting gas at the site. Those speaking in opposition were: Don Mason, ::0 Arlington Drive, was concerned with the congestion on South Airport Boulevard. Russ Hampton, owner of the Shell Gas Station at 248 S. Airport Blvd, noted that there is not any solution being made by moving the tanks. He added that there will be traffic impacts and that there is not any room for additional traffic on South Airport Boulevard. He pointed out that the parking lot reconfiguration should be a separate approval and not considered with the gas station. He added that the City will not gain any tax revenues at this new gas station and pointed out that the tax revenues from small gas stations will shift to Costco. Public Hearing closed. Commissioner Honan asked that the applicant give a description of the concrete mat slab foundation for the tanks. Mr. Creager noted that there is an 8-inch concrete foundation, which is wider than the tanks. The tanks are anchored using bolts and 1/2" galvanized steel cable. Vice Chairperson Teglia asked if the straps were due to a buoyancy issue. ~r. Creager noted that the entire anchoring system all works toward providing countervailing forces towards the buoyancy factors. He added that they have to analyze the groundwater elevation and if it is found that there is groundwater, the anchoring system is analyzed to be certain that if the tanks are empty and there is water that can create a buoyancy effect it can hold the tanks in place. Vice Chairperson Teglia noted that the anchoring system needs to be in place because the site is close to the bay and due to the elevation. Commissioner Zemke asked what the groundwater level is in the area. Don Graham, Kteinfelder Engineers noted that the groundwater level is 4-10 feet below the ground surface. He added that the primary purpose of the mat Planning Commission Meeting of September :16, 2004 slab is to provide additional weight to preclvde the tanks from floating when they are empty. He compared it to a scuba diver wearing a weight to prevent floating. Commissioner Romero was concerned with the gallonage projections of gas being pumped per year at the South Airport location and asked how much the El Camino location was pumping. Principal Planner Kalkin noted that the traffic analysis increased the 6.5 million gallons in the Costco projections by 50%. Commissioner Romero added that the Crane Transportation report shows that Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Sacramento were pumping about 7.7 to 9.69 million gallons. He questioned why the South Airport facility had a iow estimate. Ms. Sanford noted that they compare sales between warehouses and the South Airport facility does half the sales as the El Camino store does, which is why the Projections that the South Airport store will sell half the gasoline that the El Camino store sells. She added that El Camino is one of the highest volume gas stations in the company. She added that their analysis shows that customers combine their trips. Commissioner Romero noted that there is not a cap that Costco will have if the sales reach what El Camino reached. Ms. Sanford noted that the South Airport site is not expected to reach to El Camino Store numbers. Commissioner Romero noted that there will be a problem with queuing in the overflow parking on Belle Air. He noted that several aisles would not have an ~it due to cars queuing and blocking the ends of the driveway. Ms. Sanford noted that the overflow parking is underutilized and could be used as employee parking. She added that they have submitted a queuing plan that closes off certain driveways to mitigate the traffic. Commissioner Zemke asked what drives the parking spaces required by Costco. Principal Planner Kalkin noted that the parking requirement is set out in thE: Zoning Ordinance at 5 spaces per 1,000 sq ft. Commissioner Honan asked if they could designate the overflow parking to be designated for employees only, and whether that could be added into the conditions of approval. Principal Planner Kalkin noted that a portion of the parking lot could be designated for employee parking, but not the entire lot, since the number of parking spaces in the lot exceeds the number of employees and some number of parking spaces are needed for customer overflow. Mark Crane, Crane Transportation, noted that they studied the traffic issues in 2001 at the El Camino Costco and at that time the facility was pumping :150,000 gallons per week with a maximum of 68-70 vehicles queuing. He added that both these facilities have :16 fueling stations. The plan for the South Airport gas facility shows the capacity for :100 cars queuing. He noted that this facility will be pumping less gas than the El Camino facility resulting in fewer cars queuing, so queuing capacity should far exceed demand. Commissioner Romero noted that the large queuing lines were not expected with the El Camino store and he is trying to prevent this from happening in the new gas facility. Vice Chairperson Teglia noted that there is not any difference between this application and the other gas stations because customers buy gas when it is needed. He noted that people would not combine shopping with purchasing gas. He noted that Costco estimates are understated and may be created to make the current design pencil out. He noted that this site would have a regional draw due to easy access off the freeway, which understates the traffic issues. He added that the queuing of the cars is a hazard because the engines will be idled and there will be exhaust and other fumes released. Costco gas stations are not like regular gas station and most of the cdteria that is used to analyze them is for regular gas stations. He disagreed that the impacts are less than significant allowing for mitigation. He felt that this is the most impacting application in the E-:10:1 and felt that an Environmental Impact Report is required to look at this specific operation. He added that the price differential between Costco and the neighboring gas stations on El Camino is smaller but did not occur until the City complained of these problems. He added th~.,t Costco at El Camino was planning on developing the site adjacent to their property and how a portion of that site could have been used to mitigate the queuing problems. Vice Chairperson Teglia noted that if the differential would increase once again the queuing lines would flow to the streets. He noted that Costco felt the facility at South Airport would be an employee servinq amenity. He noted that an employee serving amenity is a restaurant, cafe, dry cleaner etc... He pointed out that gas is already well~ served in the area and the Use Permit require~ment is to allow the Planning Commission to plan the City in order to not have too much of one use in one area. He stated that the San Francisco Bay is a delicate resource that was abused for years but has been improved over the last 30 years. He felt that the gas station will have a negative impact. He added that all gas stations leak and this is near the bay, which will contaminate it. He pointed out that traffic could reach the freeways and be adverse to the area. He noted that gas is a hazardous material and is lo. 66 Planning Commission Meeting of September 16, 2004 not what you would want in the groundwater and felt that this is not going to be an asset to the City. He suggested that the Commission uphold the past decisions of the Commission and Council and deny the application. Commissioner Honan felt that the wastewater sewage plant has been overlooked. She noted that the plant has large trucks and emergencies. She was concerned with access to and from the plant in enough time to respond to emergencies. Commissioner Zemke noted that he is in favor of project and this would ta/(e some pressure off of the store on El Camino. Vice Chairperson Teglia noted that Costco claims their stores serve separate spheres. He reiterated that the differentials would increase and traffic issues would rise again, Chairperson Ochsenhirt felt that there will be a shift whether it be significant or not. Commissioner Sim asked if there was an analysis of another City or region stores in close proximity to each other that might give an idea of how the community is affected, Principal Planner Kalkin and Chief Planner Sparks noted that the both stores are within approximately 3 miles of each other. Ms. GDrdon added that San Jose, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale are in very dose proximity to each other and they have stabilized. She added that there is cross shopping between South Airport and El Camino. Commissioner Romero noted that the application claims to be consistent with the General Plan Community Commercial designation by being a service station. He noted that there is a distinction between a service station and what Costco is proposing. He noted that a service station is a business; that sells more than gas and has additional services such as bathrooms, shops, checking water and radiators!, snacks and other items. Assistant City Attorney Johnson noted that if the Commission was inclined t:o deny the project, they continue the matter to the next meeting in order to allow staff to review the record and make a determination as to what Findings should be adopted for denial. Chairperson Ochsenhirt noted that the location of this new gas station is id~-al due to its proximity to Highway 101 and 380. This will keep cars out of more residential areas.. He added that there is also queuing at gas stations, car washes and other services. He pointed out that this new gas station is a great source of tax revenue for the City. Motion Teglia / Second Honan to continue the item to allow staff to draft Findings of Denial. Commissioner Romero asked to amend the motion to include an analysis by the Assistant City Attorney Johnson of the draft Findings of Denial. Vice Chairperson Teglia and Commissioner Honan consented to amending t~e motion.

She added that the applicant also responded to questions the Commission raised at the last meeting in a letter. Commissioner Honan noted that on the concern noted at the last mee.ting regarding emergency access into the Water Quality Control Plant there is a south end access where a medium sized truck can access the plant. She noted that she was concerned with accessibility for larger trucks. She asked if Costco could provide a staff person to clear Belle Air Road if an emergency occurs. Klm Sanford noted that Costco would commit to having someone available to clear the street. * Vice Chairperson Teglia arrived at 7:34 p.m. Commissioner Zemke noted that the project provides a benefit to the City and that the applicant has made a good effort to address all the Commission's concerns.

StaffReport DATE: TO: FROM: RE: November 10, 2004 Honorable Mayor and City Council Conference Center Executive Director San Mateo County Convention and Visitors Bureau Tourism Business Improvement District RECOMMENDATION: The South San Francisco Conference Center Authority (Authority) recommends that the City of South San Francisco (City) remain a member of the San Mateo County Convention and Visitors Bureau (SMCCVB) Tourism Business Iml:,rovement District (BID) through December 31, 2005. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: During the September 16, 2004, Conference Center Authority Meeting under "Authority Announcements, Referrals and Future Agenda Items", it was requested by one of the hotel representatives on the Authority to agendize a discussion of the SMCCVB BID for the next meeting. It was noted that some of the hotels in SSF were questioning the value of the SMCCVB to their properties and their return on investment. The Authority was advised that there would be a meeting of the hoteliers and the SMCCVB CEO to discuss this prior to the next meeting. During the Authority's October 7, 2004, meeting, the hotel members of the Authority discussed the SMCCVB BID and Assessment and provided an overview of the hoteliers' meeting held on October 4, 2004. They indicated that in addition to some of the South San Francisco hotels questioning the value of the SMCCVB lo their properties and their return on investment, they were questioning why there was a disproportionate amount of business coming to South San Francisco from the SMCCVB-generated leads as compared to other cities. They questioned whether it was wise for.the City to continue to be a member of the BID. This was reiterated by other hoteliers in attendance at the meeting. Other South San Francisco hoteliers in attendance indicated their support for the City remaining a part of the SMCCVB citing the value in being part of a larger marketing organization whose efforts could not be duplicated for the amount of the assessments paid. Honorable Mayor and City Council November 10, 2004 Page 2 After discussion, the Authority asked the hoteliers to meet with the purpose being to reach consensus about their collective position on the SMCCVB BID. It was requested that the hoteliers report back at a special meeting of the Authority. The Authority would need to make a recommendation to the City Council in order for the Council to meet the City of Burlingame's December 1 deadline for BID renewal for another year. Two meetings were held. One for hoteliers only on Thursday, October 28; and the second for hoteliers, the SMCCVB CEO, the City Manager, and Conference Center Executive Director on Tuesday, November 2. Two Authority members were also present. At the first meeting, the consensus reached was for the hotels to vote as follows: Should the hotels in South San Francisco continue to participate in the SMCCVB BID? An absentee ballot was sent out prior to the November 2 meeting to allow those hoteliers who could not attend the opportunity to vote. At the second meeting, the SMCCVB CEO made a presentation of the services offered by the SMCCVB. The positions of the hotels remained as they had during the Authority's October 7 meeting with no consensus. However, there was eventual discussion about what the SMCCVB might be able to do to provide services that would be of more value to the hotels. It was noted by some hoteliers that due to the BID time line requirements, not enough time was available for the SMCCVB and the hotels to work together to this end. The SMCCVB CEO stated she planned to ask her Board to form a task force to study the BID. It was noted by some hoteliers that, were there time, the hotels would be able to better evaluate the SMCCVB's services and programs offered and make suggestions for more responsiveness to SSF's needs. Also, in regards to one hotel's concern about their economic hardship and paying assessments on their guest rooms not in operation, the SMCCVB CEO indicated that if the hotel would send her a formal request to reduce their room count and state the reason for their not being able to operate the rooms, she would put it on her Board's agenda for consideration. The meeting concluded with the reading of the results of the vote: Twenty (20) hotels representing 1,759 guest rooms vo'Ied not to continue to participate. 66.67% of the hotels; 56.6% of the guest rooms. Eight (8) hotels representing 1,271 guest rooms voted yes to continue to participate. 26.67% of the hotels; 40.9% of the guest rooms. Two (2) hotels representing 79 guest rooms did not respond. 6.67% of the hotels; 2.54% of the guest rooms. There are a total of 30 hotels with a total of 3,109 guest rooms in South San Francisco. Honorable Mayor and City Council November 10, 2004 Page 3 The Authority's Special Meeting was held on November 3. The results of the two meetings were given and discussed. The Authority hotel member representatives complimented the SMCCVB's efforts but indicated that the SMCCVB BID and its programs are disproportionate to the South San Francisco hotels; and as a result, some hotels do not want to continue to participate in the BID. They questioned how the City became a part of the BID initially and if performance expectations were given to the SMCCVB when the City became a member. Other Authority members asked if there was a plan to replace the SMCCVB's efforts should the City request to leave the BID. It was noted by some members that the hotels collectively should work together to decide specifically what they want the SMCCVB to do differently and then work with the SMCCVB accordingly. If the SSF hoteliers and the SMCCVB can come to an agreement, the Authority should be advised of the specific details of the agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, a detailed, alternate plan for replacing the SMCCVB efforts should be presented to the Authority by July 1, 2005. It was motioned that the City should remain a part of the BID through December 31, 2005, to allow time for this work to take place. Seven (7) of the Authority members voted yes on the motion. Two (2) of the Authority members voted no on the motion. There are nine (9) voting members of the Authority, and all were present at the meeting. ~1 ~~out this, please do not hesitate to let me know. Sandra M. O'Toole Conference Center Executive Director StaffReport AGENDA ITEM #15 DATE: November 10, 2004 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jim Steele, Director of Finance SUBJECT: TRANSMITTAL OF FIRST QUARTER 2004,-05 FINANCIAL RESULTS It is recommended that the City Council review the attached financial report for the first quarter of 2004-05, covering the period of July 1 through September 30 2004. No Council action is required. Prepared by: ~ Finance Director Approved bY: )'O~/x-.7 ~ -~arr~ a. Nagel City Manager ATTACHMENTS: First Quarter Report Transient Occupancy Tax Summary JS/BN:ed City of South San Francisco Quarterly Financial Report lst Quarter 2004-05 November 3, 2004 OVERVIEW This is an update of revenues and expenditures as of the first qum'ter 2004-05, i.e., July-September 2004. This is the first "reality check" against budget, but there are some limitations to early revenue analysis. Very little Property Taxes are received until December, Sales Tax data is only available a quarter in arrears, Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) are paid a month in arrears, meaning there are only two months of receipts to date, and the largest franchise fee payment, from PG&E, doesn't get paid until April. Economy The nation's economy is still showing very weak signs of recovery and some economists, including the UCLA' s Anderson Forecast, warn that the economy could slump again in 2005. The Conference Board's composite index of leading indicators slipped in September for the fourth straight month, signaling the economic soft patch may persist. Locally, the Bay Area is still showing overall tepid growth and has not added back significantly to the jobs lost in 2000-01. Semiconductor sales, one key indicator of future Silicon Valley growth, which in turn impacts the entire Bay Area, are projected by the Semiconductor Industry Association to decline in 2005. On a positive note, BT Commercial reports that office vacancy in So. San Francisco was 27.7% in the third quarter of 2004, compared to 48.3% a year before. The Office/R&D vacancy rate in So. San Francisco/ Burlingame was 12.2% in the third quarter 2004 compared to 10.9% a year before. Top Revenues Summary The following ten revenue sources total over half of General Fund revenues. ,~ales Tax 11,477 7.6% Property Taxes 11,202 0.3% Transient Dccupancy Tax 4,100 15.6% Vlotor Vehicle In _leu Fees 2,848 15.5% Franchise Fees 2,750 9.7% Building and Fire Permits 2,402 23.4% Recreation Fees 2,383 16.0% Business License Fees 1,540 19.4% Paramedic Fees 1,000 16.5% Interest Earnings 417 25.0% Total 40,119 9.4% (350) Although it is still early in the year, the City's sales taxes may have finally hit the bottom of their multi- year slide, and there are promising signs in the construction sector reinforced by the City's building permit activity compared to a year ago (see below). However, on an accounting basis, the final State/County accounting for the triple flip payments will result lin a one-time drop of $200,000, as shown above, representing a deferral of a final payment from the State/Ccunty until 2005-06 for this year's triple flip. It appears that property taxes may come in $400,000 under budget, based on updated information received from the County in October. Overall, the other large revenues st!ill appear to be on budget with additional growth possible for hotel taxes (TOT) by year-end. Finally, based on uncertified election results, South San Francisco voters appear to have passed a measure on the November 2nd ballot to increase the hotel tax from the current 8% to 9% effective January 1, 2005. That increase will result in an additional $250,000 in revenues for 2004-05, pending final tabulation of absentee ballots by the County. Quarterly Financial Report Ist Quarter 2004-05 At this early point of the year, total General Fund revenues therefore now appear to be on a pace to come in $350,000 under the amended budget, unless trends in higher hotel occupancy and room rates continue. Offsetting this, however, projected salary increases appear to be coming in under budget. 1. Sales and Use Taxes Without much data year to date, staff still has every reason to project that the Sales Tax budget is still realistic. Sales and Use Taxes are the City's largest single revenue source and along with hotel (TOT) tax revenues, the most volatile. South San Francisco's sales tax base is heavily business-to-business related, rather than consumer related. This means our sales tax revenues are more susceptible to business downtums and have not benefited as much from the strength of consumer spending during this past downturn. Based on the most recent quarterly report from our sales tax consultants, it appears that the drops the City had seen in the prior quarters has stopped. Total Sales Taxes are up 2.3% in the second quarter of 2004, representing the sales made during the April through June period, compared to the same time period in 2003. (Note that data on sales tax activity always comes in roughly one quarter behind the current quarter). General retail sales are up 11% over a year ago, and actual receipts from construction related sales are up 15% over a year ago. The biotech industry generates very little taxable sales, because medicine is not taxable. However, the City receives some use tax from major equipment purchases bought out of state by the biotech labs. Excluding the volatile biotech use tax sector, business-to-business sales are flat from a year ago, which is a positive development when considering the last quarterly sales tax results showed a continued decline from the prior year's comparable business to business quarter. On an accounting basis only, the final State/County calculations of payments for the triple-flip (reduction of sales taxes, increase in in-lieu property taxes passed through the County) is such that cities will receive a portion of the triple-flip after the fiscal year ends. That is a one-time drop of $200,000. The City will eventually get all triple-flip payments back, but six months in arrears from when the fiscal year ends. On the horizon, one potential threat to City revenue is that the merger between Cingular and AT&T Wireless has just been approved by the Justice Department. The City gets a significant amount of sales ta~es from cellular phone service sales generated at AT&T's Gateway Blvd. office tower; if the merE;er results in the company relocating that office, the City could lose one of its largest tax generators. 2. Property Taxes Roughly half of property taxes are received in December. Based on updated information received from the County Controller's Office in mid-October, it appears Property Taxes may be down $400,000 from budget. The budget is typically put together using preliminary information supplied by the Assessor's Office in the Spring. Based on additional information provided by the Assessor in August, the budget was reduced by $160,000 when staff brought back updated, lowered revenue estimates to the Council in September. Since that time, data the City obtained from the County in mid-October shows South San Francisco's unsecured roll for 2004-05 coming in even lower. Unsecured property taxes are those taxes paid on equipment and furnishings. The reason for the decrease is that the continued economic decline has impacted taxes paid by United Airlines, the large, st unsecured taxpayer. In addition, office vacancies have reduced unsecured taxes for numerous other businesses. At this time, staff is projecting an additional drop of $400,000 from budget for property taxes. 3. Tran:dent Occupancy Taxes (TOT) TOT taxes are paid one month in arrears, but appear to be trending slightly higher than budget. For the first two months, the City has received $54,000 more than the same time period a year ago. A,~erage year to date occupancy and room rates citywide are up at 77% and $76.22 compared to 72.4% and $72.09 for the same period a year ago. If this trend holds, the budget may need to be revised upward at the midyear report. Staff believes, with only two months actual data, it is still too early in the year to make that determination. In addition to the positive developments in occupancy and room rates, South San Francisco voters appeared to have passed (pending final Quarterly Financial Report Ist Quarter 2004-05 tabulation of absentee ballots) a ballot measure on November 2nd that increased the hotel tax rate from the current 8% to 9% effective January 1, 2005. That increase will result in an additional $250,000 in revenues for 2004-05. 4. Motor Vehicle In Lieu Fees (MVILF) Regular payments have not come in yet, and due to the State's new ERAF shift, which will reduce MVILF, the City will not receive significant revenue until December. 5. Franchise Fees. This appears to be on budget given revenues received to date, but the largest revenue source, the payment fi'om PG&E, isn't received until April. 6. Building, Fire, and Planning Fees. Year to date building permit receipts are $146,000 higher than last fiscal year to date. While $56,000 is for a large permit paid for by Genentech, and may not be part of a larger trend, this is still positive information and could be an indication that we may have begun an economic rebound. 7. Recreation Fees The largest revenues are paid in the Spring, and staff believes the current budget is still realistic for this fiscal year. 8. Business License Taxes This source of revenue is made up of business licenses and commercial parking taxes. Business license renewals aren't due until January 31st, and parking taxes are paid a quarter in arrears, so there is not much data to look at yet. Staff still believes the budget is realistic. 9. Paramedic Fees These payments are received in arrears, and staff believes the current budget is realistic. 10. Interest Earning Interest earnings are on track to meet budget at this point of the year. Expenditures Salaries and benefits, when factoring in the employee share of internal service fund costs, make up about 81% of General Fund budgeted expenditures. The actual salaries and benefit expenditures are trending below budget year to date. Staff expects there to be salary savings by year end, as some of the bargaining units received lower than budgeted salary increases as a result of this year's salary surveys. The exact savings at year end will not be known until salary setting is complete for all bargaining units after January 1, but it is estimated to be between $300,000-$500,000.
