Report regarding a resolution approving the transfer of certain former Redevelopment Agency real property
assets identified for governmental or civic uses from the Successor Agency to the City of South San Francisco
pursuant to the approved Long Range Property Management Plan and California Health and Safety Code
section 34191.5. (Alex Greenwood, Economic & Community Development Director)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that:1)the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of South San Francisco
adopt a resolution approving the transfer of certain former Redevelopment Agency real property assets,
identified for governmental or civic uses,pursuant to the approved Long Range Property Management
Plan and California Health and Safety Code section 34191.5;and 2)the City Council adopt a resolution
accepting the transfer of certain former Redevelopment Agency real property assets,identified for
governmental or civic uses,pursuant to the approved Long Range Property Management Plan and
California Health and Safety Code section 34191.5.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On June 29,2011,the Legislature of the State of California (“State”)adopted Assembly Bill x1 26 (“AB 26”),
which amended provisions of the State’s Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code sections
33000 et seq.).Pursuant to AB 26 and the California Supreme Court decision in California Redevelopment
Association,et al.v.Ana Matosantos,et al.,which upheld AB 26 (together with AB 1484,the “Dissolution
Law”),the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of South San Francisco was dissolved on February 1,
2012.
Dissolution Law governs the disposition of former Redevelopment Agency real property assets.At the time of
its dissolution,the former Redevelopment Agency owned thirty-two parcels of real property.Pursuant to
Dissolution Law,the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of South San Francisco
(“Successor Agency”)is responsible for the disposition of the properties in accordance with the procedures and
requirements of Dissolution Law and the Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP).
The LRPMP was prepared by the Successor Agency and approved by the Oversight Board for the Successor
Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of South San Francisco (“Oversight Board”)on May 21,
2015.On October 1,2015,the California Department of Finance (“DOF”)approved the Successor Agency’s
LRPMP,which governs the disposition of all former Redevelopment Agency properties in South San
Francisco.The LRPMP groups the properties into three categories:properties to be transferred for
governmental use; properties that should be sold; and properties that are approved for redevelopment.
The LRPMP identifies 10 properties that are approved to be transferred at no cost for various government or
civic uses.These 10 properties are summarized in Exhibit A of the attached resolutions;and they include the

File #:16-652,Version:1
following:
1.Seven properties are to be transferred from the Successor Agency to South San Francisco for various
governmental uses at no cost. These seven properties include:
·Two properties that form a narrow pathway used for a segment of Centennial Trail (Former PUC
Properties);
·One small parcel that is part of the future expansion of Orange Memorial Park (80 Chestnut
Avenue);
·Fire Station 61 (480 North Canal);
·Land necessary for the future Caltrain Station Plaza (296 Airport Boulevard);
·A portion of the existing Miller Parking Garage (323 Miller Avenue); and
·The “Breezeway” that connects Miller Parking Garage and Grand Avenue (356 Grand Avenue).
2.Two properties are to be conditionally transferred to the County of San Mateo for governmental uses at
no cost. These properties include 306 Spruce Avenue/472 Grand Avenue, to be used as the San Mateo
County Health Center, and 468 Miller Avenue, the small surface parking lot that serves the San Mateo
County Health Center. In the event that the County does not accept the transfer of these properties, or
ceases to run a health center at this location, the properties are to be transferred to the City, at no cost,
for governmental use.
3.One property is to be transferred to South San Francisco as part of an approved redevelopment project
to construct a public library.This last property,which is designated in LRPMP as “Site A2b,”is
discussed in more detail below.
The nine parcels in Exhibit A to the attached resolutions were specifically designated in the LRPMP to be
transferred for government use and their grant deeds will include language restricting the use of the property to
governmental/public use.The tenth property (as discussed in greater detail below)is a portion of a parcel
identified for future development,but,as indicated in the LRPMP and City planning documents,the relevant
portion is designated to be used as a public library.Therefore,this portion is to be transferred to the City in
order to implement this civic use.All 10 of the properties described above would be transferred consistent with
the LRPMP, and at no cost, as set forth in the LRPMP.
SITE A2b - LIBRARY/COMMUNITY CENTER
The LRPMP includes several properties that were acquired from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
(PUC).Collectively,these properties are commonly referred to in planning documents as the “PUC Property”
and are identified as properties appropriate for redevelopment.For planning purposes,the PUC Property is
divided into Sites A1, A2, A3, B, and C, as shown in Attachment 1 (PUC Site Map).
Site A2 is a narrow,63,992 square feet strip of land fronting along El Camino Real at Chestnut Avenue
(including portions of APN 011-326-030 and 093-331-070)as shown and described in Exhibit B to the attached

resolution. Site A2 is further divided into Sites A2a and A2b, each of which has 31,996 square feet.
During the past 10 years,Site A2b has consistently been identified as the site for a library in various City
planning initiatives -such as the El Camino Real/Chestnut Avenue Area Plan.The El Camino Real/Chestnut
Avenue Area Plan was specifically relied on when the LRPMP was prepared,and this civic library use is also
identified in the LRPMP,as shown in Attachment 2 (Map of Site A2b).In addition,the Oversight Board met
in closed session on March 15,2016 to discuss site A2b and in open session on May 17,2016 to receive a
presentation on the Measure W Municipal Services Building Site Plan options which included the use of Site
A2 for library and recreational use.
It is important to note that Site A2 has a number of physical constraints that diminish its value and is why Site
A2b has consistently been identified as a proper location for a civic library use.The marketability of the entire
Site A2 is limited due to extreme grade variance dropping precipitously from the El Camino Real frontage,
environmental condition and also due to the underground BART facility.
The remaining portion of Site A2 (referred to as Site A2a,see Attachments 1 and 2),would be transferred for
redevelopment consistent with the LRPMP.While Site A2a has similar value constraints as A2b,this portion
was not designated as a site for a civic use in the LRPMP,but rather redevelopment consistent with an
approved redevelopment plan.On March 15,2016,the City,the Successor Agency,and the Oversight Board
met in closed session to negotiate the disposition of this portion within the former PUC properties.
CONCLUSION
With the LRPMP approved,Successor Agency staff is working to implement the LRPMP by disposing of
assets.Per Senate Bill 107,California Health and Safety Code section 34191.5(f),actions to implement the
disposition of property pursuant to an approved LRPMP does not require review by the DOF.Adoption of these
resolutions would be actions consistent with the LRPMP.The attached resolutions approve the conveyance of
certain former Redevelopment Agency assets to the City of South San Francisco for governmental and public
use.Their conveyance will be relatively straightforward transactions including the execution of Quitclaim
Deeds, Certificates of Acceptance, and all other necessary instruments, as applicable.
It is recommended that the Successor Agency and the City Council adopt respective resolutions approving,at
no cost, the transfer of 10 properties as described in this report.
