I. [§100] INTRODUCTION
This is the Redevelopment Plan (the "Plan") for the South San Francisco
Redevelopment Project (the "Project") in the City of South San Francisco (the
"City"), County of San Marco, State of California. This Plan consists of text
(Section% 100 through 900), the Redevelopment Plan Map (Exhibit "A"), a Legal
Description of the Project Area (Exhibit "B"), and the Proposed Public
Improvements and Facilities Projects (Exhibit "C"). This Plan was prepared by
the South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") pursuant to the
Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California (Health and Safety
Code, Section 33000 et seq.; all statutory references hereinafter' shall be to
the Health and Safety Code unless otherwise designated), the California
Constitution, and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
The project area (the "Project Area") includes all properties within the
Project boundary shown on the Redevelopment Plan Map and described in the
-- Legal Description of the Project Area.
The proposed redevelopment of the Project Area as described in this Plan
conforms to the General Plan for the City of South ~an Francisco, as applied
in accord with local codes and ordinances.
This Redevelopment Plan is based upon the Preliminary Plan 'formulated and
adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of South San Francisco (the
"Planning Commission") on January 24, 1985.
This Plan provides the Agency with powers, duties and obligations to
implement and further the program generally formulated in this Plan for the
redevelopment and revitalization of the Project Area. This Plan does not
presen't a specific plan or establish priorities for specific projects for the
redevelopment and revitalization of any particular area within the Project
Area. Instead, this Plan presents a process and a basic framework within
which specific development plans will be presented, priorities for specific
projects will be established, and specific solutions will be proposed, and by
which tools are provided to the Agency to fashion, develop, and proceed with
such specific plans, projects, and solutions.
In general, the goals and objectives of a redevelopment program in the
Project Area are as follows:
1. The elimination and prevention of blight and deterioration
and the redevelopment of the Project Area in accord with
the General Plan, specific plans, the Redevelopment Plan
and local codes and ordinances.
KatzHollis
2. The elimination or amelioration of. certain environmental
deficiencies, including substandard vehicular circulation
systems; disposal or handling of hazardous materials;
inadequate water, sewer and storm drainage systems; and
other similar public improvements, facilities and
utilities deficiencies adversely affecting the Project
Area ·
3. The achievement of an environment reflecting a high level
of concern for architectural, open space, landscape, and
urban design and land use principles appropriate for
attainment of the objectives of this Redevelopment Plan.
4. The replanning, redesign and development of undeveloped/
vacant areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized.
5. The encouragement of investment by the private sector in
the development and redevelopment of the Project Area by
eliminating impediments to such development and
redevelopment.
6. The creation and development of local job opportunities to
replace the Project Area's defunct employment base.
7. The provision for increased sales, business .license, hotel
occupancy and other fees, taxes and revenues to the City.
8. The establishment of a conference center to serve the
needs of San Mateo County and surrounding areas.
9. The creation of increased cultural and recreation oppor-
tunities for visitors as well as area residents, particu-
larly maximizing the potential offered by the waterfront.
10. The expansion of the community's supply of housing,
including opportunities for low- and moderate-income
households.
Redevelopment of the Project Area pursuant to this Plan and the above
goals and objectives will attain the following purposes of the California
Community Redevelopment Law: (1) through the installation of new or replace-
ment of existing public improvements, facilities and utilities in areas which
are currently inadequately served with regard to such improvements, facilities
and utilities; (2) by the replanning, redesign and/or development of areas
which are stagnant or improperly utilized, and which could not be accomplished
by private enterprise acting alone without public participation and assist-
ance; and (3) by protecting and promoting sound development and redevelopment
of blighted areas and general welfare of the citizens of the City by remedying
such injurious conditions through the employment of appropriate means.

powers entity, or other public corporation to provide a building, facility,
structure, or other improvement which has been or will be leased to the City

allocated and paid to the Agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670
for the .purpose of paying all or part of the value of the land for, and the
cost of the installation and construction of, any publicly owned building,

including the obligation of funds currently available for the benefit of the

A. [§401] Redevelopment Plan Map and Major Project Area Land Uses
The Redevelopment Plan Map, attached hereto as Exhibit "A", illus-
trates the location of the Project boundary, identifies the major streets
within the Project Area, and designates the major land uses authorized within
the Project Area under the City's current General Plan. The City will from
time to time update and revise the General Plan. It is the intention of this
Redevelopment Plan that the major and other land uses to be permitted within
the Project Area shall be as provided within the City's General Plan, as it
currently exists or as it may hereafter be upon amendment, and as implemented
and applied by local codes and ordinances.
B. [§402] Other Land Uses
1. [§403] Public Rights-of-Way
Major public streets within the Project Area include Oyster
Point Boulevard and Gateway Boulevard.
Additional public streets, alleys and easements may be created
in the Project Area as needed for proper use and/or development. Existing
streets and alleys may be abandoned, closed or modified as necessary for
proper use and/or development. It is anticipated that Project development
will entail vacation and/or realignment of certain streets, alleys, freeway
approaches and other rights-of-way.
Any changes in the existing street layout shall be in accord
with the General Plan, the objectives of this Plan, and the City's design
standards, shall be effectuated in the manner prescribed by state and local
law, and shall be guided by the following criteria:
(1) A balancing of the needs of proposed and potential new
development for adequate pedestrian and vehicular access,
vehicular parking, and delivery loading docks with similar
needs of existing ~evelopments proposed or potentially
proposed to remain. Such balancing shall take into con-
sideration the rights of existing owners and tenants under
the participation and preferences rules adopted by the
Agency for the Project, and any participation agreements
executed thereunder;
(2) The requirements imposed by such factors as topography,
traffic safety and aesthetics;
(3) The potential need to serve not only the Project Area and
new or existing developments, but to also serve areas
outside the Project by providing convenient, efficient
vehicular access and movement; and
-13-

(4) The potential need or desire to accommodate the facilities
and/or equipment of mass transportation modes.

utilities, and activities typically found in public rights-of-way. In
addition, all necessary easements for public uses, public facilities, and
public utilities may be retained or created.
