The proposed St Vincent de Paul Facility is located at 938 Linden Avenue. The site is
surrounded by medium density residential development to the south, along Armour
Avenue, and commercial and industrial uses to the north, west and east (See
Attachment A-Vicinity Map).
Qspkfdu!Qspqptbm;
The applicant proposes to relocate a food services program from its current location at
the St Vincent De Paul retail store located at 344 Grand Avenue, to the Project Site, at
938 Linden Avenue. The proposed relocation provides an opportunity for the applicant
to provide food, counseling, community gathering and job search assistance in one
location. In addition, hotel/shelter vouchers and transit vouchers can be distributed on-
site, and the facility will have clean clothes, showers and laundry facilities for those in
need.
Caf² St Vincent will be staffed primarily by volunteers from within the community,
including students, senior citizens and members of church groups. The proposed hours
of operation are Monday through Friday, with limited service available on Saturday.
Staff and volunteers will typically arrive prior to the first meal service in order to prepare
the food. The security gate and facility doors will normally open at 7:30 a.m. and will be
closed mid- to late-afternoon, depending on staffing available on-site. Saturday hours
are proposed to be generally mid-morning to early afternoon. Based on St Vincent's
experience with other facilities, including the existing facility that will be relocated, it is
anticipated that no more than 30-40 guests will be on site at a given time and roughly
100 persons per day will be served.

Discussion:
a) The Project Site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and
no active or potentially active faults traverse the Project Site. Thus, potential impacts
related to surface fault rupture would be less than significant. The site is located
with an area designated by ABAG as flatland. There is no threat of landslides on
the project site; therefore the Project would have no impact with respect to
landslides. The site is located near the San Andreas Fault and within an area which
could experience strong earthquake shaking or seismic related ground failure;
however, renovation of the existing buildings and improvements on the site will be
required to comply with the California Building Code, to ensure that the people and
structures on the site will not be exposed to substantial adverse effects, including
risk of loss, injury or death. Accordingly this impact would be less than significant.
b-e) The Project proposes reuse of an existing structure that has been supported by
underlying soil and geologic composition without significant issue. Renovation and
reuse of the structure would not affect the soils ability to continue to support the
existing structure, as the renovation and reuse will involve minimal physical changes
to the site and building. The Project, therefore, will not result in greater instability of
the soil. There is no evidence of the soil demonstrating expansive qualities, as
defined in the California BuildingThe site is currently served by sewer; there is no
.
need for septic tanks or similar alternatives.

a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions,
x
either directly or indirectly, that may have
a significant impact on the environment
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or
regulation adopted for the purpose of
x
reducing the emissions of greenhouse
gases
a-b) Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are referred to as greenhouse gases
(GHGs) because they capture heat radiated from the sun as it is reflected back into the
atmosphere, much like a greenhouse does. The accumulation of GHGs has been
implicated as a driving force for global climate change. Definitions of climate change
between and across regulatory authorities and the scientific community, but in general
can be described as the changing of the earths climate caused by natural fluctuations
and anthropogenic activities, which alter the composition of the global atmosphere.
California State law defines GHGs as Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide,
Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulfur Hexafluoride. The primary
contributions to GHG emissions in California are transportation, electric power
production from both State and out of state sources, industry, agriculture and forestry,
and other sources, which include commercial and residential activities.
At present, the City of South San Francisco does not have an adopted plan or specific
policies to reduce GHG emissions, although the City is early in the process of creating a
Climate Action Plan and many of the Citys policies and ordinancessuch as one of the
regions most aggressive Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs
achieve the same objective. South San Franciscos current TDM Ordinance, which
requires that non- residential development generating more than 100 daily trips must
incorporate measures to ensure that at least 28% of all trips are made through
alternative mode use. As incentives to implement programs that will further reduce
vehicle trips, the TDM provisions provide a floor area ratio (FAR) bonus in accordance
with the General Plan when 30% to 45% of all trips involve alternative mode use,
depending on the type of development and requested FAR. The City is completing an
emissions survey that will provide a basis for formally developing such tools. Although
the General Plan did not specify policies and programs designed to reduce GHG
emissions, many of the Plans policies will contribute to this objective by promoting
development that is less reliant on motor vehicles. The proposed project will not
generate more than 100 trips per day; the majority of trips will be completed using
public transportation, bicycles and walking. So even though a specific policy has not

a- c) The proposed project is to operate a charitable food and social services facility
within an existing building located on a fully developed site. No hazardous materials are
proposed to be transported or used as part of the operation of this facility. Therefore,
no release or emissions of hazardous materials will occur.
During construction, hazardous materials could be transported to the project site.
Construction activities typically involve the use of substances such as paints, fuels, and
solvents. Construction activities are subject to federal, state and local laws and
requirements that are designed to minimize and help avoid potential health and safety
risks associated with hazardous materials.
There are no schools located within one-quarter mile of the proposed project; therefore
there would be no impact.
d) The project site is not included on lists of hazardous materials sites pursuant to any
government code; there would be no impact. Furthermore a Phase 1 Environmental
Site Assessment (ESA) (See Attachment D) was conducted for the property and found
that there are no underground tanks, nor any evidence that the site has historically
been used for storage, use or disposal of hazardous materials. The Phase 1 ESA did
conclude that with the exception of a recommended indoor air assessment (which has
been completed for the project and is also included in Attachment D), there were no
recognized environmental conditions on the property. There was no recommendation
of remediation of any ground or soil contamination at the site. Furthermore the applicant
is not proposing any substantial below grade construction and the site is fully developed
with a building and paved surface parking lot.
e-f) The site is located in close proximity of San Francisco International Airport but there
are no private airstrips in the vicinity. The Project proposes reuse of an existing
structure that has historically been used for office/warehouse use. The limited use
proposed by the Project will not result in a safety hazard for people working at the site
or residing in the area.
g) The project would not result in any changes to existing streets or emergency roads,
and therefore would not interfere with any response or emergency evacuation plan that
may be in affect for the area.
h) The project is not located near wildlands.

Ejtdvttjpo;!!
a-b) The site is fully developed hence no new development or drainage is proposed.
The applicant will be required to comply with all applicable water quality standards
including the City's Storm Water Quality Management and Discharge Control
Ordinance, and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
requirements. The project would result in minimal, if any, changes to existing
topography, and will include new landscaped (permeable) area, therefore the project
will not negatively affect groundwater supplies, interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge, or lower the local groundwater table level.
c-f) The proposed Project does not include changes to the topography, includes little to
no grading therefore it will not alter existing drainage patterns in a manner that would
cause erosion, siltation, or flooding conditions on or off the site. The project will not
contribute runoff that would exceed the capacity of existing drainage systems, or
otherwise substantially degrade water quality.
g-h) The project is located in Zone B
an area of moderate flood hazard, usually the
1
area between the limits of the 100-year and 500-year floods. B Zones are also used to
designate base floodplains of lesser hazards, such as areas protected by levees from
100-year flood, or shallow flooding areas with average depths of less than one foot or
drainage areas less than 1 square mile. The Project does not propose placement of any
housing or new structures at the site.
i-j) The project site is not near a levee or dam, nor any large body of water that could
cause seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.

specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of
avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?
No. The proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
The General Plan has a mixed designation for the site, including Community
Commercial and Downtown Medium Density, which allows for social services. The
proposed project is also complies with the Citys zoning regulations for the Downtown
Mixed Use (DMX) Zoning District, provided the Parking Reduction application is
approved by the City. (Attachment E- General Plan) (Attachment F -Zoning

Ejtdvttjpo;!!
a) No new residential dwelling units, roads, or other substantial infrastructure
improvements are proposed as part of the facility.
b-c) The site is developed with a vacant building previously used as offices, no
residences are being demolished and or removed, and no new housing will be
required. The project proposes reuse of a commercial building with no residential
component. The Project will not result in displacement of any housing or people.

construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain
acceptable service ratios, response times or
other performance objectives for any of the
public services:
x
Fire protection?
x
Police protection?
x
Schools?
x
Parks?
x
Other public facilities?
a) The project site is fully developed. The applicant will be occupying the building
and will remodel the facility to accommodate the new use. The Police Department
does not anticipate an increase in service demand, because the use largely exists in
the Downtown area today. However, the Police Department has agreed to expand
their presence in and around the proposed use. The expanded Police presence is
not specific to SVdP, but they will certainly benefit from the additional Police
presence. Aside from the Police Department, there will be no need for additional
services. Services for the area have already been allocated; there will be no need
for additional services. There will be no additional needs for schools since no new
residences are created as part of this proposal.

the proposed Project will generate so few new vehicle trips, the Project will not
conflict with or exceed the Citys measures of effectiveness for the streets and
circulation system. (See Attachment H.)
b) The projected vehicle volumes would not exceed projected levels of service
either individually or cumulatively. The data collected by John Wilson, Sandis
Engineers (Attachment H), shows low traffic volumes and no conflict with any
congestion management practices and policies.
c) The proposed new land use does not affect traffic patterns.
d) The proposed project does not include any changes to the existing and
approved street design, and there will be no conflict with compatible uses in the
area.
e) The current traffic circulation was approved by the City when the original building
was approved. The reuse of the building does not include any changes to
circulation or emergency access.
f) There is no conflict with existing polices and plans. In fact, there is a substantial
reduction in trips to the site than a typical commercial business since the majority
of the patrons arrive via public transportation, bicycle and walking.

requirements that would exceed current carrying capacity, nor will the project
result in the need to construct new water or wastewater treatment facilities.
c) The proposed project includes reuse an existing building with no increase in
square footage or intensification of use. The existing facilities will be sufficient
and no new storm water facilities will be necessary.
d-e) The proposed project is located within an existing service area, the applicant
proposes reuse of an existing building in which water has previously been

Subject: Results of Transmittal of Indoor Air Quality Assessment
For 938 Linden Avenue
South San Francisco, California
CSS Project No: 6601
Dear Ms. Fragoso:
CSS Environmental Services, Inc. (CSS) is pleased to submit the following results of an Indoor Air
Quality Assessment (Assessment) performed for the property at 938 Linden Avenue (the Site) in South
San Francisco, CA. The current assessment was performed to investigate the findings of a Piers
Environmental Services Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (March 2009) of the Site indicating that
“concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons beneath the property pose a potential risk of volatilization to
indoor air.” This property is under consideration for purchase by the City of South San Francisco for
commercial use. Through the conduct of this Assessment, CSS has found that hydrocarbon compounds
are present in indoor air at the Site and in outdoor air in the Site vicinity, at similar concentrations. A
likely source of hydrocarbon compounds is a nearby freeway, Highway 101 located about a block east of
the Site. Among the hydrocarbon compounds detected, benzene was found at concentrations exceeding
residential human health screening levels in both indoor and outdoor air. As indoor air concentrations of
benzene are no greater than those found in outdoor air, commercial occupancy of the Site poses no
greater risk to human health from benzene exposure than the background for other Site vicinity workers.
The reader is referred to the body of this letter report for further details of this environmental
investigation and its findings.
The Site is occupied by a two story building founded on a concrete slab and perimeter foundation with no
basement. The building was constructed prior to 1956 and is of concrete block construction with a flat
roof. At the time of our indoor air sampling, the building was vacant and no operating HVAC system was
present.
To evaluate indoor air concentrations within the Site structure, CSS collected three indoor air samples
over a six hour period on August 19, 2009. Samples were collected in 6-liter summa canisters
pre-cleaned and evacuated by the testing laboratory, Air Toxics Limited of Folsom, California. A
constant flow rate of air sampling over the period was implemented through the use of calibrated flow
controllers, one dedicated to each canister. CSS’s field records of air sample collection are attached. The
samples 5650-INDOOR1 and 3744-INDOOR2 were collect from rooms on the first floor in the
northwest and southeast corners of the building, respectively. Sample 33779-INDOOR3 was collected in
a central room on the second floor of the building. To gauge the background concentration of outdoor air
in the vicinity of the building, sample 11882-OUTDOOR-BG was collected from the parking area behind
the Site building near the southern corner of the Site property. An unopened summa canister sample,
TRIP BLANK accompanied the collected samples and was analyzed for quality control purposes. All
6601 SSF Linden Indoor Report FINAL.doc
samples were analyzed by the Air Toxics Limited laboratory for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and
xylenes (BTEX) by Modified EPA TO-15 SIM (Selective Ion Monitoring). Air Toxics Limited is
certified by the California Department of Health Services. During the time of sample collection the Site
was vacant and the building’s ventilation system was not operating. Wind conditions were calm in the
morning hours, with an afternoon breeze from the northwest noted in the afternoon.
The Air Toxics Limited laboratory report of the air sample analyses for BTEX are attached and
summarized in Table 1. Also presented in the table are the California Human Health Screening Levels for
Indoor Air (CHHSLs for Residential Land Use, California Environmental Protection Agency, January
2005) and the Environmental Screening Levels for Ambient and Indoor Air (ESLs for Residential Land
Use, Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region, May 2008). Of the BTEX
compounds, benzene was the only compound detected at a concentration greater than its corresponding
screening level. Benzene was detected in all but the TRIP BLANK sample and at concentrations within a
33
narrow range, from 0.53 mg/M (3744-INDOOR2) to 0.61 mg/M (5650-INDOOR1 and 11882-
3
OUTDOOR-BG). The CHHSL and ESL for benzene is 0.084 mg/M. CHHSLs and ESLs are
conservative screening levels, for carcinogens such as benzene, residential screening levels are based on
-6
an estimated one in a million (1 x 10) cancer risk and exposure 24 hours a day, 350 days a year, for 30
years.. As the maximum concentration of benzene was detected in the outdoor background sample, its
presence is reflective of a background condition and commercial occupancy of the Site poses no greater
risk to human health from benzene exposure than the background for other Site vicinity workers.
Sources of elevated benzene in the background include motor vehicle emissions and industrial activities.
In the United States, on-road motor vehicles account for 48% of benzene emissions and 70% in Southern
California’s South Coast Air Basin (EPA, National Air Quality and Emissions Trend Report 1999). The
Site is located within about 700 feet of a major freeway, Highway 101, located a block east of the Site.
3
Based upon the proposed commercial use of the Site, the benzene screening level of 0.084 mg/M is not
representative of the limited exposure frequency and duration of the proposed use of the Site. A Site
specific risk assessment considering the specific details of Site development and use would be necessary
to evaluate the specific human health risk to Site workers from background concentrations of benzene.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please do not hesitate to call the
undersigned at (415) 883-6203.

Limitations and Uncertainty
LIMITATIONS AND UNCERTANITY
This report was prepared by CSS Environmental Services, Inc. in general accordance with the
accepted principals and standards of practice of consultants providing similar services at the time the
project was conducted and within the scope of service outlined in our written proposal and/or verbal
communication. It should be recognized that the definition and evaluation of environmental
conditions, and information provided by others either written or verbal is a difficult and inexact
science. Judgments leading to conclusions and recommendations generally are made with an
incomplete knowledge of the conditions present. Any opinions presented apply to site conditions
existing at the time of the inspection and/or document review and those reasonably foreseeable; they
cannot necessarily apply to site changes made of which the inspector/reviewer could not observe and
has not had the opportunity to evaluate.
Changes in the conditions of the subject property can occur with time, because of the natural process
or the works of man. It is further possible that variations and/or changes in the site conditions could
exist beyond the points explored for this investigation. Also, changes in environmental quality could
occur sometime in the future do to variations in operating conditions, rainfall, temperature or other
factors. Changes in applicable environmental, engineering and construction standards and practices
can also occur as the result of legislation or from the broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, the
data and documents presented in the scope of work may be invalidated, wholly or in part, by changes
beyond the control of CSS Environmental Services, Inc. If the client wishes to reduce uncertainty
beyond the level associated with the scope of work, CSS Environmental Services, Inc. should be
notified for additional consultation.
The discussion and recommendations presented in this report are based on information which may
include: 1) information and data provided by third party consultants, 2) the testing performed at, or
samples collected from, the site, 3) the observations of field personnel, 4) the results of laboratory
analyses, 5) reports by others, and 6) interpretations of federal, state, and local regulations and/or
ordinances. Any conclusions presented are based on the assumption that conditions do not deviate
from those observed during the assessment. It is understood that other conditions may exist at the
site that could not be identified from the limited information discovered within the scope of the
assessment.
The comments and recommendations should not be construed as a guarantee that all safety, health,
or environmental hazards that exist at the subject site are identified in this report.

Environmental Noise Assessment for St. Vincent de Paul Food Services & Support Facility Relocation 12 May 2011
CSA Project No. 11-0029 Page 2
I
NTRODUCTION
This report is an assessment of environmental noise associated with the proposed relocation of
the St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) Food Services and Support Facility. The facility provides food
services, clean clothing, showers, and limited laundry facilities to those in need. The facility is
currently located at 344 Grand Avenue and proposes to relocate to 938 Linden Avenue; both
sites are in South San Francisco. The properties to the east and west of the project site consist of
commercial land uses; the property south of (behind) the project site is zoned residential.
There is concern that food service activities and mechanical equipment at the new facility will
generate noise impacts at the neighboring properties. We have conducted an environmental noise
assessment to determine whether noise from the new facility will exceed the relevant City
standards.
ES
XECUTIVE UMMARY
The current noise level at the adjacent properties is considered “Acceptable” per the City’s
General Plan.
Noise from SVDP activity (patrons, vehicle parking, and kitchen exhaust fans) may increase
the noise level at the surrounding properties by 1 to 2 dBA, a difference that is not considered
noticeable.
The noise level at the adjacent properties will still be within the “Acceptable” limits
established by the City’s General Plan.

COUSTICAL RITERIA
General Plan
We have reviewed the City of South San Francisco’s 1999 General Plan and determined that the
following noise goals are applicable to this project:
Policy 9-G-1
: Protect public health and welfare by eliminating or minimizing the effects of
existing noise problems, and by preventing increased noise levels in the future.
Policy 9-I-7
: Require the control of noise at source through site design, building design,
landscaping, hours of operation, and other techniques, for new developments deemed to be
noise generators.
The General Plan also includes a table (Table 9.2-1) summarizing noise and land-use criteria to
determine site acceptability. This table is reprinted below:

Municipal Code Noise Ordinance
We have reviewed Chapter 8.32 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code and found the
following ordinances applicable to the project:
8.32.030 Maximum Permissible Sound Levels:
(a) It is unlawful for any person to operate
or cause to be operated any source of sound at any location within the city or allow the
creation of any noise on property owned, leased, occupied or otherwise controlled by such
person, which causes the noise level when measured on any other property to exceed:
(1) The noise level standard for that land use as specified in Table 8.32.030 [Table 2 in
o
this report] for a cumulative period of more than thirty minutes in any hour;
(2) The noise level standard plus five dB for a cumulative period of more than fifteen
o
minutes in any hour;
(3) The noise level standard plus ten dB for a cumulative period of more than five
o
minutes in any hour;
(4) The noise level standard plus fifteen dB for a cumulative period of more than one
o
minute in any hour; or
(5) The noise level standard or the maximum measured ambient level, plus twenty dB for
o
any period of time.

XISTING OISE NVIRONMENT
To quantify the existing noise environment at the project site, we conducted two continuous 48-
hour noise measurements (i.e., LT 1 and 2) from 22 February to 24 February 2011. Table 3
shows a summary of the measured data; Figure 1 shows the measurement locations.
The dominant noise sources are vehicular traffic along Linden Avenue and occasional aircraft
flyovers from San Francisco International Airport (typically departures). Minor noise sources
include traffic on US-101 and general city noise.

OISE OURCES
This section identifies and discusses potential noise sources from the project. In our discussions
with SVDP staff, City planning staff, and a review of the Planning documents, we have
identified the following noise sources:
Food deliveries
Staff/volunteers prepping and providing food
Patrons picking up food
Vehicle parking
Mechanical equipment (e.g., kitchen exhaust fan)
We have addressed these noise sources in the following sections.
Food Deliveries
Based on our conversation with SVDP staff member Lisa Collins, food deliveries occur around
7:00 or 8:00 a.m. each morning via her personal minivan. About once per month, a medium-
sized delivery truck will deliver food from Second Harvest or Costco.

Staff, Volunteers, and Patrons
Each weekday, staff arrive to the facility at around 8:00 a.m. and volunteers begin arriving at
8:30 a.m. Patrons begin lining up at around 9:00 a.m. and the facility is open from 10:00 a.m. to
noon. On Saturdays, the facility is open from 11:00 a.m. until noon.
Vehicle Parking
Per the Sandis parking survey memo dated 28 February 2011; approximately 13 to 16 cars arrive
and depart from the facility during weekdays. The majority of people who visit the site (whether
patrons or volunteers) arrive on foot.
Mechanical Equipment
We understand that air conditioning is not planned for the facility, but there will be kitchen
exhaust fans. The kitchen exhaust fans will either be located on top of the roof or in the roof-
ceiling plenum. For either mounting location, the kitchen exhaust discharge will be a source of
noise.
C
ALCULATIONS
We have calculated the expected noise level from the noise sources described in the previous
section. Our calculations are based upon the following:
Measurements of patron noise conducted at the existing SVDP facility on 29 March 2011
Parking noise based upon Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model
The new facility will operate on the same schedule as the existing facility
The kitchen exhaust fans will operate from 7:00 a.m. until noon each day, the fan or the
discharge of the fan will be no closer than ten feet to any property line; the fans will operate
at the maximum noise level allowed by the City’s noise ordinance
When patrons were waiting for the kitchen to open and during food service, we measured a noise
level of 65 to 70 dBA at a distance of 15 feet from the patrons at the existing facility. This noise
occurred from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. as the patrons waited outside for the SVDP facility to
open. The staff and volunteers did not contribute significantly to the noise environment as their
work occurred inside of the facility.
Table 4 summarizes our calculation results.

NALYSIS
The project is expected to increase CNEL noise levels by 1 to 2 dBA, primarily due to noise
from the kitchen exhaust fans. An increase in noise level of less than 3 dBA is generally not
noticeable. The noise level will still be considered “Acceptable” per the City’s General Plan at
the adjacent properties.
Our calculations assumed that the noise level from the kitchen exhaust fans will be 65 dBA at the
1
west and east property lines. If the noise level from the kitchen exhaust fans was only 60 dBA at
the west and east property lines, then the increase in noise level would be 1 dBA or less.
C
ONCLUSION
Noise from the project will increase the overall 24-hour CNEL noise level by 1 to 2 dBA,
assuming “worst-case” kitchen exhaust fan noise. This increase is not expected to be noticeable.
The noise level at the adjacent properties will still be considered “Acceptable” per the City’s
land-use guidelines.

This corresponds to a sound power level (PWL) of 82 dBA; PWL levels are typically provided by mechanical
equipment manufacturers.
