WHEREAS, proceedings have been commenced in connection with the proposed amendment
of the Downtown/Central, Gateway and U.S. Steel/Shearwater Redevelopment Plans
("Redevelopment Plans") to add the Oyster Point Marina Park to the Downtown/Central
Redevelopment Project Area and to fiscally merge the Downtown/Central, Gateway and U.S.
Steel/Shearwater Redevelopment Plans ("Amendment"); and
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Plans were previously amended in 1994, and the Gateway
and U.S. Steel/Shearwater Plans again in March of 2004, to revise various time limits for project
activities; and
WHEREAS, at its March 10, 2004 meeting, the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco designated a Survey Area for the purpose of studying whether it was feasible to add
territory to the existing Downtown/Central Project Area. The Survey Area consisted of the Oyster
Point Marina Park; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission also established the boundaries for the proposed area
to be added ("Added Area") to the Downtown/Central Redevelopment Project Area, which as
required by State law, are within the boundaries designated by the City Council as the Survey Area;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission additionally prepared a "Preliminary Plan" for the
Added Area, which in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 33324, provides a
general discussion of the conditions affecting the property in the proposed Added Area, describes
how redevelopment can improve this property and is an initial framework document for the
Amendment process; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, on April 15, 2004, adopted a resolution establishing
the Added Area, submitting the Preliminary Plan to the Redevelopment Agency and recommending
that the Redevelopment Agency accept the Preliminary Plan; and
WHEREAS, in the Added Area, redevelopment of the Oyster Point Marina will be a catalyst
for the commercial and recreational development that may include a new regional convention center,
improved public access to the shoreline and a myriad of recreational and commercial activities, and
possibly, a new ferry terminal; and
WHEREAS, the proposed fiscal merger of the Downtown/Central, Gateway and U.S.
Steel/Shearwater Redevelopment Plans, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33485 et seq.,
will provide the Redevelopment Agency with the flexibility to combine revenues and accelerate
investment in the Project Areas; and
WHEREAS, the Amendment will enable the Redevelopment Agency to continue to eliminate
blight and achieve desired improvement and rehabilitation in the designated redevelopment areas and
the Oyster Point Marina; and
WHEREAS, although the Amendment will trigger statutory pass through payments to other
taxing entities from the Added Area, the statutory payments will not create a burden on the
Redevelopment Agency or affect its ability to conduct redevelopment activities because the statutory
payments are paid from property tax revenues received by the Redevelopment Agency from future
growth in assessed value resulting from redevelopment efforts. The Redevelopment Agency already
has existing contractual and/or statutory pass through obligations from tax increment received from
the current Downtown/Central, Gateway and U.S. Steel/Shearwater Project Areas; and
WHEREAS, in the event the Amendment is approved, the 2004-2005 assessment roll shall be
used as the base year assessment role for the purpose of allocation of taxes in the Added Area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
South San Francisco as follows:
a) That the Preliminary Plan, formulated and previously approved by the Planning
Commission, is hereby approved and accepted by the Redevelopment Agency; and
b)
That the Agency directs staff to prepare the Redevelopment Plan Amendment to add area
to the Downtown/Central Project Area and to fiscally merge the Downtown/Central,
Gateway and U.S. Steel/Shearwater Redevelopment Plans; and
c) That the Agency designates the 2004-2005 tax assessment role as the tax roll to be used
for allocation of taxes; and
d)
That the Agency directs staff to transmit all of the information and documentation
identified in Health and Safety Code Sections 33327, 33328, and 33328.3 to all of those
persons and entities listed in said Sections of the Health and Safety Code.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced and adopted by the

day of May 2004 by the following vote:
