PUBLIC HEARING
6. Report regarding an ordinance adding Chapter 20.375 of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code pertaining to the regulation of Small Cell Wireless Communications Facilities. (Jason
Rosenberg, City Attorney)
6a. Ordinance adding Chapter 20.375 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code
pertaining to the regulation of Small Cell Wireless Communications Facilities.
City Attorney Rosenberg presented the staff report recommending that Council make findings and
waive reading and introduce an ordinance adding Chapter 20.375 of the South San Francisco
Municipal Code pertaining to the regulation of Small Cell Wireless Communications Facilities.
Attorney Rosenberg provided a PowerPoint presentation explaining the proposed zoning text
amendment. He explained that under current federal law, cities are preempted from enacting
ordinances that prohibit the provision of telecommunication services, including wireless services.
However, cities retain authority over individual zoning decisions regarding placement, construction,
and modification of wireless facilities, subject to certain limitations. The law requires local
governments to approve any request for collocation, removal, or replacement of transmission
equipment on an existing wireless tower or base, if the action does not "substantially change" the
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 25, 2017
MINUTES PAGE 5
physical dimensions of the tower or base station. Under state law, telegraph or telephone
corporations are allowed to construct lines on public road, highway, water or land, including poles,
posts, piers, etc., as long as construction does not "incommode the public use of the road or
highway or interrupt the navigation of the waters." Attorney Rosenberg noted that wireless service
providers are considered "telephone corporations" under this state law. Cities can create reasonable
time place and manner restrictions on these facilities. Accordingly, Council retains the authority to
regulate telephone lines within public roads and highways based on aesthetic concerns.
The proposed ordinance defines Small Cell Wireless Facilities (SCWF). It further establishes
License Areas where SCWF are permitted as follows: 1) On existing structures within the public
right of way (ROW) in all zoning districts; and 2) On existing and new structures on private
property located outside of ROW in any zone that includes a commercial or industrial use. It also
lists the preferred locations within the License Areas as follows: 1) If the location is within the
ROW: existing light poles, utility poles, utility cabinets and any other existing pole or not readily
visible structures; 2) If the location is outside of the ROW, placement in any zone that includes a
commercial or industrial use, and on facilities ranked by design and location preferences.
Once it is determined that the SCWF is proposed in a qualifying location, the following permits
must be obtained: 1) Small Cell Attachment Permit; 2) Encroachment Permit or Building Permit;
and 3) A Minor Use Permit if seeking a waiver or modifications from the requirements of a Small
Cell Attachment Permit. The SCWF must also comply with the most current state and federal
regulations, state building codes and safety standards and demonstrate compliance with federal
radio frequency emission standards. For permits to be issued, the ordinance requires the SCWF to
meet a variety of operation and maintenance standards as follows: 1) Signage installation on a
SCWF is prohibited, except for a sign with emergency contract information; 2) Each SCWF must
be maintained in good working condition and appearance; 3) Each SCWF must install security
measures, such as an emergency "kill switch "; 4) A SCWF in a ROW must relocate at owner's
expense for public works projects; 5) SCWF electrical power must be independently metered; 6)
Existing City -owned light poles proposed for SCWF location must be inspected prior to installation;
and 7) If the pole fails inspection, the SCWF applicant must replace the pole at its own cost, or
install a proprietary pole in place of the light pole and arrange for lighting, independent metering,
and satisfy other requirements. Further, SCWF and any ancillary equipment must be located and
designed to be concealed, stealthed, or incorporated into the design of the pole. All equipment and
facilities are required to be undergrounded unless the City Engineer determines that undergrounding
is infeasible. SCWF pole installations must be designed to require no additional supporting
hardware beyond the pole itself and must be constructed out of non - reflective materials consistent
with surrounding backdrop. Finally, SCWF owners must maintain and preserve design and
aesthetic features for each facility and equipment. If the applicant is able to meet all of the above
design requirements and comply with a permit approval checklist, planning staff can issue the
permits in consultation with the City Engineer and City Manager's Office. A neighborhood
outreach meeting must also be held upon filing of the application.
Councilman Garbarino queried whether new electrical cabinets were anticipated.
City Attorney Rosenberg advised the ordinance did not create new cabinets, but rather pertained to
stealthing equipment in preexisting cabinets.
Public Hearing opened: 8:26 p.m.

Angela Kung of AT &T commended City staff for reaching out to AT &T. She believed the
ordinance to be sound and reflective of collaboration with impacted entities. She opined that the
ordinance was sustainable against industry standards.
Public Hearing closed: 8:28 p.m.
In response to a question from Councilwoman Matsumoto, City Attorney Rosenberg advised in the
event ancillary equipment was not located or incorporated on a pole, the applicant would need to
provide landscaping to stealth the equipment. The landscaping is subject to the review of the Chief
Planner in consultation with the City Manager's Office.
Planning Manager Mehra confirmed that the City's Landscape Architect would be consulted
regarding such applications.
In response to a question from Councilman Garbarino, City Attorney Rosenberg confirmed existing
light poles as the preferred location for SCWF installation.
Vice Mayor Normandy queried San Jose's fee approach in which lower permit fees were applied to
more aesthetically pleasing installations.
City Attorney Rosenberg advised the San Jose -type fee model and other fee options could be
utilized. Council could explore all options when fees are adopted at a later date.
In response to a question from Councilwoman Matsumoto, City Attorney Rosenberg and Planning
Consultant Knapp advised fees could be structured so as to discourage multiple attachments to
cabinets. Further, the ordinance was structured so that undergrounding of equipment was preferred.
In response to a question from Councilman Addiego, Information Technology Manager Barrera
confirmed that nine (9) to 15 new SCWFs were expected in town. He further explained the small
cell technology supports the 5G network.
Mayor Gupta stated support for the ordinance noting that later modifications might be required
based upon pending state legislation.
Motion — Councilman Garbarino /Second — Councilman Addiego: to waive reading an introduce an
Ordinance adding Chapter 20.375 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code pertaining to the
regulation of Small Cell Wireless Communications Facilities. Unanimously approved by roll call
vote.
7. Report regarding an ordinance modifying regulations related to accessory dwelling units
Citywide, in accordance with South San Francisco Municipal Code Chapter 20.550
( "Amendments to Zoning Ordinance and Map "). (Rozalynne Thompson, Associate Planner)
7a. Ordinance amending the South San Francisco zoning ordinance, related to accessory
dwelling units Citywide, in accordance with South San Francisco Municipal Code Chapter
20.550 ( "Amendments to Zoning Ordinance and Map ").
Associate Planner Thompson presented the staff report recommending that Council waive reading
and introduce an ordinance making revisions to the zoning code (Title 20) of the South San

MINUTES PAGE 7
Francisco Municipal Code, related to accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations. Planner
Thompson advised that AB 2299 modified a local jurisdiction's ability to regulate ADUs, or
secondary dwelling units. Further, AB 2406 authorized local agencies to provide for the creation of
junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) in single family residential zones. The City must modify
its current municipal code regulations to ensure compliance with the state standards by January 1,
2018. Some elements of the new law are mandatory and thus, the City has no authority to adopt
different regulations for those elements. Other elements of the law provide some flexibility for local
jurisdictions to tailor the requirements to their communities.
To comply with the updated state ADU legislation, the City's ordinance must be amended as
follows: 1) Replace the term "second dwelling units ", "second housing units ", and "second units"
with "accessory dwelling units" throughout the Zoning Ordinance; 2) Add "landscaping" as one of
the criteria evaluated in an application for an ADU; 3) Eliminate setbacks for existing garages that
are converted to an accessory dwelling unit; 4) Require a five -foot side and rear setback for
accessory dwelling units constructed above a garage; 5) Eliminate design review requirement and
any other discretionary review as part of the application process; 6) Exempt certain ADUs from the
one (1) -car parking requirement if applicable criteria are satisfied; 7) Permit tandem parking on an
existing driveway as parking for an ADU, if a parking space is required; and 8) Allow single - family
dwelling units with nonconforming parking that construct an ADU to satisfy the parking
requirement by any configuration on the site. While not specifically required by State ADU law,
staff is recommending the following additional modifications to the ordinance: 1) Modify the
setbacks for detached ADUs to be five (5) feet from side and rear property lines; 2) Increase the
maximum floor area of ADUs to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing single - family dwelling
or 900 square feet, whichever is less; 3) Eliminate the maximum bedroom requirement; and 4)
Allow JADUs, subject to required development standards.
Public Hearing opened: 9:07 p.m.
Public Hearing closed: 9:07 p.m.
Councilwoman Matsumoto queried whether any design review would be permitted such that the
structure would fit within the general character of the neighborhood.
Planner Thompson advised that although separate discretionary design review of ADUs and JADUs
would not be permitted, the typical review that occurs during the building permit process would still
take place.
In response to a question from Councilwoman Matsumoto, Planner Thompson advised that with a
JADU no additional parking is required.
In response to a question from Councilman Addiego, Planner Thompson advised the maximum
bedroom standard was removed. Accordingly, if 2 bedrooms were proposed in 900 square feet, so
be it.
Councilman Garbarino pointed out that the spirit of the ordinance embraces affordable housing.
Mayor Gupta noted that while this ordinance might spur congestion, it was not in the City's hands
as the state mandated this direction with regard to ADUs.

9. Report regarding a resolution approving a five year agreement with CivicPlus, Inc. of
Manhattan, Kansas in an amount not to exceed $290,493 to host and provide related services
for a recreation management system. (Sharon Ranals, Parks and Recreation Director)
Resolution No. 137 -2017 authorizing the City Manager to execute a five year agreement
with CivicPlus, Inc. of Manhattan, Kansas in an amount not to exceed $290,493 to host and
provide related services for a recreation management system.
Recreation Management Analyst II Duldulao presented the staff report recommending that Council
adopt a resolution approving a five (5) year agreement with CivicPlus, Inc. of Manhattan, Kansas in
an amount not to exceed $290,493 to host and provide related services for a recreation management
system (RMS), and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Services Agreement. Analyst
Duldulao advised that the City's current RMS, CLASS was phased out by Active Network. The
Recreation Department uses RMS to track registration and process payments for recreation classes,
childcare programs, and facility usage and rentals. The department processes nearly $4 million per
year in revenue, most of which is processed through CLASS. Prior to issuing a request for
proposals (RFP) seeking a new RMS vendor, staff spent many hours assessing current practices and
identifying areas that may be improved by a new RMS. Staff issued the RFP incorporating results
of the assessment and received proposals from seven (7) vendors. The RFP and the vendor selection
process for the new RMS were based on demonstrated competence, overall value to the city, and
further, on the professional qualifications of the proposers. Cost was only one factor in determining
the preferred vendor. Based on the results of the evaluation criteria described above, CivicPlus
received the highest evaluation score in Phase 2. The proposed contract with CivicPlus is for a total
amount not to exceed $290,493, covering five (5) years of service from November 1, 2017 through
October 31, 2022. Sufficient funding to cover the one (1) -time costs of implementing the new RMS
and annual service fees are included in the City of South San Francisco Fiscal Year 2017 -18
operating budget. Annual service fees have been established as ongoing costs in future budget
years. Accordingly, staff recommended approval of the proposed agreement.
Councilwoman Matsumoto queried whether the system would recognize the first registration
submissions when filling classes. She was particularly interested in whether the system could be
used to avoid the current line system for summer camp registration.
Analyst Duldulao advised the system would reserve class space for a specified amount of time
while registration was being completed.
Director of Parks and Recreation Ranals advised that whether the system would be used for the
summer camp registration process was a policy decision.
Mayor Gupta commended the Recreation Department and Mrs. Duldulao on a very thorough staff
report with a useful description of the RFP process applied to the project. He cautioned the
recreation Department to be mindful of software implementation pitfalls during roll -out of the new
system.
