WHEREAS, the South San Francisco Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on May 15, 2003; and
WHEREAS, as required by the "Amendment Procedures" (SSFMC Chapter 20.87) and
"Use Permit Procedures" (SSFMC Chapter 20.87), the Planning Commission made the following
findings in support of the request for approval of a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Use
Permit for the property located at 231 Lux Avenue, based on public testimony and the materials
submitted to the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission which include, but are not
limited to: "Exhibit A," attached, indicating proposed General Plan Land Use Map Amendment;
"Exhibit B" attached, containing the recommended conditions of approval and Plans prepared by
applicant, Sandra B. Jimenez, dated October 4, 2002; Planning Commission staff report dated May
15, 2003.
The proposed General Plan Amendment changing the land use designation to Mixed
Downtown High Density Residential/Community Commercial is appropriate since:
1) the site contains an existing mixed-use development containing a commercial use
on the ground floor and a residential apartment unit on the second floor; and 2) the
proposal furthers policies in the Land Use Element of the General Plan which call for
maintaining a mix of pedestrian-friendly uses in the downtown area.
The Parking Place Commission granted an eight-space parking exception for the
proposed restaurant expansion at its regular meeting of April 8, 2003.
o
The proposal complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in that
restaurants providing limited service in the Retail Commercial Zoning District are
permitted subject to approval of a use permit. The project meets or exceeds all
general development standards of the Retail Commercial (C-l-L) Zoning District.
o
The proposal will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of
the community, nor unreasonably detrimental to surrounding properties and
improvements in that conditions have been attached which will mitigate any impacts
the project might have on the surrounding neighborhood.
The proposal qualifies as exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act, which allows for the
exemption of projects in cases where it can see with certainty that no significant
environmental impacts will result in the project's approval.
6. The proposal complies with the City's Design Guidelines for commercial projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco approves General Plan Amendment GP-01-076 attached hereto as Exhibit A and UP-01-
076 subject to the recommended conditions of approval contained in "Exhibit B" attached.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the resolution shall become effective immediately upon
its passage and adoption.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced and adopted by the
City Council of the City of South San Francisco at a regular meeting held on the 11th day of June
