RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency Board approve an Agreement assigning the
rights and obligations of Hines Oyster Point LLC to Genentech, Inc. under that certain Owner

approved development on the transferred parcels. Therefore, staff recommends the Agency

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Steven T. Mattas, City Attorney
By: Peter Spoerl, Assistant City Attorney
City Position on Gaming and Revenue Act of 2004 (Propositions 68 and 70)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council review the attached report and summary of the ballot
measures and consider whether to adopt a resolution taking a position on the proposed
measures.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Summary of Proposition 68
Proposition 68, the Gaming and Revenue Act of 2004, would authorize the Governor to
renegotiate tribal-state compacts to require that tribes 1) pay 25% of slot machine/gaming
device revenues to a government fund; 2) comply with multiple state laws, and 3) accept state
court jurisdiction. Unless all tribes currently subject to existing compacts ratify the terms
within 90 days, or if those terms are determined to be unlawful, the measure would instead
authorize sixteen specified non-tribal racetracks and gambling establishments to operate
30,000 slot machines and gaming devices. 33% of the revenues from these newly authorized
non-tribal gaming operations would be devoted to fund public safety, regulatory and social
programs. The measure includes a prohibition on any future state or local tax increases, and
also contains limitations on the expansion of new tribal gaming operations. According to the
impartial analysis written by the State Legislative Analyst and Finance Director, the measure
would increase local government revenues over $1 billion annually, to be devoted primarily to
additional firefighting, police and child protective services.
Summary of Proposition 70
Proposition 70 would require the Governor to offer renewable 99-year gaming compacts to
federally-recognized tribes with provisions including exclusive gaming rights on Indian land;
no limits on numbers of machines, facilities or types of allowable'games; a contribution to
state fund fi'om new revues based on the prevailing state corporate tax rate; preparation of off-
reservation environmental impact reports; and a requirement that tribes provide'opportunity
for notice and comment before significant expansion of existing facilities or construction of
new facilities. The contributions to the state fund would be in lieu of other fees, taxes or
levies, and would terminate should the state allow non-tribal casino-type gaming. According
to the impartial analysis written by the State Legislative Analyst and Finance Director, the
measure could result in a substantial increase in state revenues.
DISCUSSION:
If approved, and not ratified by all tribes within 90 days, Proposition 68 would authorize
expansion of three existing racetrack and cardroom facilities within San Mateo County-
Artichoke Joe's Casino in San Bruno, Lucky Chances Casino in Colma, and the Bay Meadows
Racetrack in San Mateo. The measure would authorize up to 30,000 slot machines. A portion
of the revenues from these additional operations would be paid first to a Gaming Revenue
Trust Fund. After this initial distribution, the remaining monies would be allocated as follows:
50% to County Offices of Education to provide services for abuse~l and neglected children,
35% to local governments on a per capita basis for additional neighborhood sheriffs and police
officers, and 15% to local governments on a per capita basis for additional firefighters.
Proponents of 68 argue that the measure would require the tribes to pay their "fair share" of
costs to the state for the operation of a gaming monopoly. Opponents argue that the
requirement that the tribes ratify the measure within 90 days is structured to ensure failure, and
allow for the expansion of 16 non-tribal gaming operations. Opponents also point to the loss
of local governmental control over land use decision involving gambling operations, and to the
social and economic impacts of expanded gambling operations.
The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County has prepared an analysis
of additional collateral impacts of the measure if approved. Recent budget negotiations
resulted in the suspension of Proposition 42 funds for budget year 2004-2005. Proposition 42
required the use of fuel sales tax proceeds for transportation projects instead of State General
Fund expenses. The Governor has recently negotiated agreements with five Indian gaming
Tribes to float a $1.214 billion bond to replace some of this lost funding earmarked for
transportation projects. Specifically, the bond issuance would allocate $192 million for local
streets, roads and infrastructural improvements. The bond issuance will only proceed if
Propositions 68 and '70 are defeated in the November 2004 election.

Based on all evidence in the record, including but not lirnited to the testimony, staff reports and other oral
and written material provided to the City Council at the duly noticed public hearing on May 26, 2004, the

A. South San Francisco General Plan and Housing Element
Appropriateness and Effectiveness of the Housing Element: In adopting the amendments to Chapter
20.125, the City of South San Francisco finds that the amendments further the Housing Element goals,
objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the State's housing goal in that:
Housing Element
A.
Goals and Policies:
Goal 1. Encourage a supply of housing units sufficient to assure each resident an
attractive, healthful, safe environment within a wide range of designs, types, sizes, and
prices.
Goal 2. Continue to support the provision of housing by both the private and public
sector for all income groups in the community.
Policy 2A. Eliminate constrai~zts to c!~brdable housing.
Policy 2B. Stimulate the construction of lower cost units by providing incentives and
encouraging mixed use projects, second units, density bonuses, and manufactured
housing.
Policy 2D. b~volve the City directly in retaining and increasing the supply of
affordable housing.
Policy 2E. Continue to coopera~e with other governmental agencies and take an active
i~terest i~ seeki~g soltt~io~s to area-~'ide housi~g problems.
Analysis: The above referenced policies support implementation of the proposed amendments as a means
to achieve the goal of providing housing to all income levels and at various prices. The amendments
clarify existing requirements as to income criteria, submittal of Affordable Housing Agreements and
make other administrative amendments designed to streamline approval of residential development.
Based on the foregoing, the amendments to the Inclusionary Ordinance are consistent with and further the
goals established in the Housing Element of the City of South San Francis'co's General Plan.

this ordinance is exempt from CEQA based on the following findings:
This ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential
fol' causing a significant effect on the environment. This ordinance is not a "project" within the meaning
of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in a physical
change in the environment, directly or ultimately. This ordinance does not, in itself, allow the

follows:
(a) The City's objective, as established by the
housing element of the City's general plan, is to
ensure that all residential development, including
all master planned and specific planned

identifiable economic segments of the
population, including households of lower and
moderate income. It is the policy of the City to:
(1) Require that a minimum of twenty (20%)
percent of all ap'proved residential development
consisting of four or more units be restricted to
and affordable to lower-income households;
subject to adjustment based on the granting of
certain incentives; and,
(2) Require that at least twenty percent
(20%) of all new dwelling units be restricted to
and affordable to low- or moderate-income
households. Not less than forty percent (40%) of
the affordable units, or eight percent (8%) of the
total units, are to be restricted to and affordable
to low-income households; and,
(3) Require that all developments consisting
of ten units or more shall provide the affordable
units on-site, and,
(4) Under certain conditions, allow
alternatives to c.o. nstructing new affordable units
onsite as a means of providing affordable units in
the City; and,
(5) For housing developments consisting of 4
to 9 units, allow Inclusionary requirements to be
satisfied through the payment of an in-lieu fee as
an alternative to requiring inclusionary units to
be constructed.
(b) It is the purpose of this chapter to implement
the City's objectives and policies as stated in
subsection (a).

mandatory duty on the part of the City or its
employees under the Government Tort Claims

The affordable housing standards are as follows:
(a) All residential developments are subject
to and must satisfy the inclusionary housing
requirements of this chapter, notwithstanding a
developer's request to process a residential
development under other program requirements,
laws or regulations, including but not limited to
Chapter 20.130 (Residential Density Bonus) of
this code.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in this
Chapter, inclusionary units shall be built on the
residential development project site.
(c) The required inclusionary units shall be
constructed concurrently with market-rate units
unless both the final decision-making authority
of the City and developer agree within the
affordable housing agreement to an alternative
schedule for development.
(d) Inclusionary rental units shall remain
restricted and affordable to the designated
income group for fifty-five (55) years.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary_in this
chapter, no inclusionary unit shall be rented for
an amount which exceeds ninety (90%) percent
of the actual rent charged for a comparable
market unit in the same development, if any.
(e) The inclusionary for-sale units shall
remain affordable for a term of fifty-five (55)
years and said affordability term shall be filed
and recorded as a restriction on those individual
lots, units or projects which are designated as
inclusionary units. After the initial sale of the
inclusionary for-sale units at a price affordable to
the target income level group, inclusionary for-
sale units shall remain affordable to subsequent
income eligible buyers pursuant to a resale
restriction with a term of fifty-five (55) years.
For-sale units may be sold at market price under
the conditions in (f) through (h) of this section.
(f) Base Resale Price: The price at which
the Owner purchased the Affordable Unit shall
be adiusted by the percentage increase or
decrease in the median annual income at 100%
of median of a family of four in San Mateo
County. The percentage increase or decrease
shall be computed for the period that the
Affordable Unit is held by Owner. This adjusted
price shall be increased by the market value, if
any, of any documented, permanent capital real
estate or fixed improvements approved by City.
No price adiustrhent will be made except upon
presentation to the City of written documentation
of all expenditures made by Owner for which an
adjustment is requested. The adjusted price shall
be decreased by the amount necessary to repair
any damages and to put the unit into a sellable
condition, including items such as paint,
cleaning, construction repairs, and to bring said
unit into conformity with all applicable
provisions of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code and the affordable housing guidelines
established by the City. The value of price
adjustments shall be reasonably determined by
Page 9 of 16
S:\Current Ord's\inclusionary.ordinance.6-9-04.DOC
the City. The resulting price shall be the Base
Resale Price of the unit.
(g) Upon resale of the unit, if the Affordable
Unit is sold above the restricted affordable price
during the fifty-five (55) year affordability term,
the City will receive the difference between the
Base Resale Price and the actual market sales
price of the unit.
(h) Funds recaptured by the City shall be
used in assisting other eligible households with
home purchases at affordable prices. To the
extent possible, projects using for-sale units to
satisfy inclusionary requirements shall be
designed to be compatible with conventional
mortgage financing programs including
secondary market requirements.
(i) Ideally, off-site inclusionary units should
be located on sites that are in proximity to or will
provide access to employment opportunities,
urban services, or major roads or other
transportation and commuter rail facilities and
that are compatible with adjacent land uses.
(j) The design of the inclusionary units shall
be consistent with general plan standards;
compatible with the design of the total project
development in terms of appearance, materials
and finished quality and conform to general plan
standards; and, consistent with affordable
housing development standards prepared by the
Department of Economic and Community
Development as adopted by the City Council.
(k) Inclusionary projects shall provide a mix
of number of bedrooms in the affordable
dwelling units in response to affordable housing
demand priorities of the City. Inclusionary
projects shall provide a distribution of affordable
units within the designated affordability range as
follows: One third (33.3%) of lower income
units shall be affordable to households between
50 and 60 percent of median income; one third
(33.3%) of lower income units shall be
affordable to households between 60 and 70
percent of median income; one third (33.3%) of
lower income units shall be affordable to
households between 70 and 80 percent of median
income; and ofie third (33.3%) of lower-to-
moderate income units shall be affordable to
households between 80 and 90 percent of median
income; and one third (33.3%) of lower-to-
moderate income units shall be affordable to
households between 90 and 100 percent of
median income; one third (33.3%) of lower-to-
moderate income units shall be affordable to
households between 100 and 110 percent of
median income.
(1) No building permit shall be issued, nor
any development approval granted for a
development which does not meet the
requirements of this chapter. No inclusionary
unit shall be rented or sold except in accordance
with this chapter. (Ord 1303 01 2001)
20.125.050
Calculating The Required
Number Of Inclusionary Units.
Subject to adjustments for incentives, the
required number of lower-income inclusionary
units shall be twenty (20%) percent of the total
residential units, approved by the final decision-
making authority.
If the inclusionary units are to be provided
within an offsite combined or other project, the
required number of affordable inclusionary units
shall be twenty (20%) percent of the total
residential units to be provided both onsite
and/or offsite. Subject to the maximum density
permitted in the General Plan or granted by
specific authorization of the Planning
Commission or City Council. Fractional
inclusionary units of .5 will be subject to
payment of the in-lieu fee for the proportionate
amount of the fractional unit.
The in-lieu fee to be paid for each inclusionary
dwelling unit shall be equal to the developer's
Page 10 of 16
S:\Current Ord's\inclusionary.ordinance.6-9-04.DOC
fractional costs of constructing a market rate unit
in the proposed project, including land and
improvements.
20.125.070 Alternatives To Constructing New
Inclusionary Units.
Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this
chapter, at the sole discretion of the City
Council, the City may determine that an
alternative to the construction of new
inclusionary units is acceptable.
(a) The City Council may approve
alternatives to the construction of new
inclusionary units where the proposed alternative
supports specific housing element policies and
goals and assists the City in meeting its state
housing requirements.
(1) Such determination shall be based on
findings that new construction would be
infeasible or present unreasonable hardship in
light of such factors as project size, site
constraints, market competition, price and
product type disparity, developer capability, and
financial subsidies available. Evidence must be
submitted to the City Manager or his or her
designee and included in the request for any
waiver of the construction of new inclusionary
units.
(2) Alternatives may include, but are not
limited to, acquisition and rehabilitation of
affordable units, conversion of existing market
units to affordable units, construction of special
needs housing projects or programs (shelters,
transitional housing, etc.), and the construction
of second dwelling units.
(b) Second dwelling units constructed to
satisfy an inclusionary housing requirement shall
be rent restricted to affordable rental rates, and
renters shall be income-qualified, as specified in
the applicable affordable housing agreement. In
no event shall a developer be allowed to
construct more than a total of fifteen (15) second
dwelling units in any given development to
satisfy an inclusionary requirement.
(c) Contribution to a special needs housing
project or program may also be an acceptable
alternative based upon such findings. The
requisite contribution shall be calculated in the
same manner as an in-lieu fee per Section
20.125.110. (Ord 1303 - 01, 2001)
20.125.080 Combined Inclusionary Housing
Projects.
An affordable 'housing requirement may be
satisfied with offsite construction as follows:
(a) When it can be demonstrated by a
developer that the goals of this chapter and the
City's housing element would be better served by
allowing some or all of the inclusionary units
associated with one residential project site to be
produced and operated at an alternative site or
sites, the resulting linked inclusionary project
site(s) is a combined inclusionary housing
project.
(b) It is at the sole discretion of the City
Council to authorize the residential site(s) which
form a combined inclusionary housing project.
(1) Such decision shall be based on findings
that the combined project represents a more
effective and feasible means of implementing
this chapter and the goals of the City's housing
element.
(2) Factors to be weighed in this
determination include:
(A) the feasibility of the onsite option
considering project size, site constraints;
(B) competition from other projects;
(C) difficulty in integrating due to
significant price and product type disparity; and,
Page 11 of 16
S:\Current Ord's\inclusionary.ordinance.6-9-04.DOC
(D) lack of capacity of the onsite
development entity to deliver affordable housing.
Also to be considered are whether the offsite
option offers greater feasibility and cost
effectiveness, location advantages such as
proximity to jobs, schools, transportation, and
services, diminished impact on other existing
developments, capacity of the development
entity to deliver the project, and satisfaction of
multiple developer obligations that would be
difficult to satisfy with multiple projects.
(c) All agreements between parties to form a
combined inclusionary housing project shall be
made a part of the affordable housing agreement
required for the site(s), which affordable housing
agreement(s) shall be approved by Council. (Ord
1303 - 01, 2001)
20.125.090 Disposition of Excess Inclusionary

The South San Francisco Community Partnership (SSFCP) is a partnership between the City of
South San Francisco, South San Francisco Unified School District, San Mateo County Health

support the Healthy Community Coordinator's salary through December 2004 as well as support
grant-writing assistance for grant proposals that will allow us to continue work on the Partnership's
Community Health Initiative.
FUNDING
The funds will be used to amend this year's operating budget of the Library Department. $17,422 is
to be applied towards staffing and $6,000 towards grant writing assistance. Funds not expended at

RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended the City Council approve a resolution accepting funding in the amount of
$13,000 for two Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grants and amend the Library
Department's 2004/2005 operating budget.
BACKGROUND
Two LSTA grants have been awarded by the California State Library to fund collections and services
at Grand Avenue Library. As part of the California State Library's Global Languages Materials
grant program, Grand Avenue Library has been awarded $6,000 to purchase books and audiovisual
materials in Spanish to supplement and enhance the Library's collection. Per grant guidelines, "grant
funds may be used for the purchase of non-English or bilingual adult and children's materials in any
format, provided it serves the informational or recreational needs of the targeted immigrant
population" and "successful applicants are required to obtain input from the targeted immigrant
community or communities regarding the nature of the materials to be acquired under this grant."
In addition, Grand Avenue Library has been awarded $7,000 to participate in the California State
Library's Services for Small Businesses in a Box grant program. This program is intended to assist
libraries in addressing information needs of local small businesses by providing a "solution in a box."
The package consists of business-oriented online database subscriptions for in-library and at- home
use, customizable Web pages and promotional materials, speakers for Library programs, training for
library staff to conduct a "community scan" of business information needs, as well as funding to
purchase materials to develop the business collection. The Grand Avenue Library was selected due
to the significant number of small businesses within walking distance of the library, the weak state of
the business collection, and current Branch and Community Learning Center outreach efforts to the
downtown business community.

AGENDA ITEM #9
DATE:
September 8, 2004
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Marry Van Duyn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS ON
MAGNOLIA AVENUE AT COMMERCIAL AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of two-way
stop signs on Magnolia Avenue at Commercial Avenue.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Staff received a request to review the intersection of Commercial Avenue and Magnolia Avenue.
Currently, there are existing stop signs on Commercial Avenue and none on Magnolia Avenue. Our
Traffic Consultant, RKH Civil and Transportation Engineering, evaluated the intersection and
determined that an all-way stop was warranted at this location. The Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC)
reviewed this request at its July and August meetings and determined that a two-way stop sign should be
installed on Magnolia Avenue at Commercial Avenue. The existing red curbs along Magnolia Avenue
would be reduced to allow additional parking for the area.

NEW METAL BEAM GUARD RAILING INSTALLATION
PROJECT NO. 51-13231-0502
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council adopt a resolution awarding the construction contract to M.
Bumgamer, Inc. of Livermore, California in the amount not to exceed $50,000.00 for the New Metal
Beam Guard Railing Installation Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
This project will install new metal beam guard railing along segments on the east side of Junipero
Serra Boulevard from King Drive to Hickey Boulevard and small a segment on south side of Hickey
Boulevard from Junipero Serra Boulevard toward Hilton Avenue. City forces will mark the areas
where the contractor will install the new guard railing.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was prepared for this project and was advertised. City received only 1
response to the RFP and the City decided to accept the RFP response since unit rate quoted of $21.40
per linear foot was much lower than expected unit rate of approximately $32.00.
Staff has reviewed the qualifications and references of M. Bumgamer, Inc. and found them to be
satisfactory. Staff recommends that the contract be awarded to M. Bumgamer, Inc. in the amount not
to exceed $50,000.00.
Construction is expected to start by the middle of September 2004 and will be completed by the end
of October.
FUNDING:
This project is included in the City of South San Francisco's 2004-2005 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP/51-13231-0502) in the amount of $50,000.00.

Resolution Approving Personnel Changes, including Classification Description and
Placement on the Confidential (Teamsters) Salary Schedule
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the job specification and salary placement for the newly developed
Administrative Aide classification.
BACKGROUND
In the mid 1990s, the City Council designated the Administrative Assistant II classification in the
City Manager's Office as unclassified (non-competitive). This means that the position is not part of
the municipal code and employee's in this position serve at the will of the City Manager. However,
within the City there are other Administrative Assistant II positions that are part of the competitive
service. To eliminate confusion, the position's duties have been structured to meet the specific needs
of the City Manager's office, and it has been re-titled. Salary is proposed to remain the same.
Attached is the salary schedule (Exhibit A) for the classification and the new job specification
(Exhibit B).
New Classification:

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council deny both appeals and uphold the Planning
Commission action to approve UP00-0025/MOD 1 & DR 00-0025/MOD 1 or take other
action.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
At the City Council meeting of August 11, 2004, the Council conducted a public hearing, took public
testimony and discussed the applicant's alternative of a landscaped above ground equipment enclosure.
The Council asked the AT&T representative to consult with his client to determine ifAT&T would be
willing to help mitigate the visual effects of the above ground cabinets.
The applicant's representative, Howard Yee, reports that an AT&T representative will attend the
September 8th City Council meeting.
Alternatives #1 and #2
The applicant's preferred design solution is identified as Alternative #1 consisting of a nearly 4 foot
extension of the antenna pole resulting in a total height of 16 feet, placing a solid wood 8 foot tall fence
around the new taller 7.8 foot cabinets mounted on a larger concrete pad measuring 10.75 feet in length
and 5 feet in width. As part of the applicant's appeal, they propose to landscape the slope facing the street.
City staff did not support this alternative because it does not achieve the design stealthiness sought by the
Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission approved Alternative # 2 that includes a slightly larger antenna panel mounted
on a pole facing SR 280, and an underground vault housing new larger equipment cabinets. The pole
would be designed to appear as a tree or shrub. The equipment vault containing the taller cabinets and
larger concrete pad will not be visible from the residences across Avalon Drive because the design will
utilize an open metal grid in lieu ora solid roof. Had a solid roof been included, an above-ground access
hatchway and HVAC system would have been visible off-site.
Both Akernatives #1 and #2 would operate on a 24/7 basis and require servicing one to two times per
month. The existing on-site aisleway and parking area will be adequate to meet the needs of the water
company and service technicians.
A Use Permit Modification was required because the proposed modifications represent significant changes
from the approved facility.

environmental effect and is therefore categorically exempt pursuant to the provisions of Section
15061 (b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Because the project has been
determined to be exempt, the City Council is not required to take action on the environmental document.
APPEALS
Two appeals have been filed.
Marge Sieux, a neighborhood resident, filed appeal number 1. The appeal objects to the facility being
located in the residential neighborhood and request that the City Council deny the project and require the
removal of the existing wireless communication facility. The appeal includes more specific justification, a
petition, letter and photographs.
The applicant, AT&T, is also appealing the Planning Commission's action. The applicant is requesting
that the City Council reverse the Planning Commission approval of Alternative #2 and approve, instead, a
revised Alternative #1, which includes above-ground equipment cabinets in a fenced enclosure.
Landscaping of the slope between the equipment cabinets and the street would be installed. The plans and
photo simulations are attached.
The plans and the landscaping concept were not deemed an adequate design solution by the Planning
Commission (although the Commissioners did not have an oppommity to review the landscape photo
simulation as the applicant has only made these recently available). The Planning Commission preferred
an underground vault as the optimal "stealthy" solution. The slope appearance however, could be greatly
improved with landscaping. After the Commission action, the applicant's representative recently
conducted a neighborhood meeting to review the proposed plans. The applicant reported that few persons
attended and some residents expressed interest in having the slope landscaped.
Both appeals are attached to this staff report.
CONCLUSION
The project as approved by the Planning Commission (Alternative #2) complies with the City development
standards, including the Antenna and Tower design requirements contained in SSFMC Section 20.105.030
(d), and is visually compatible with the adjacent residences in the immediate project vicinity. The existing
wireless communication was approved at a duly noticed Planning Commission and is providing a service
to the community. The applicant's revised Alternative #1 with substantial landscaping and public art is
visually compatible with the neighborhood. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council take one of
the following actions:
Deny both appeals and uphold the Planning Commission approval of the

report dated August 11, 2004; City Council staff report of September 8, 2004; City Council
meeting of August 11, 2004; and City Council meeting of September 8, 2004:
The telecommunication facility consisting of a monopole designed as a tree/shrub,
replacement of equipment cabinets, extensive new landscaping and irrigation to support
such landscaping will more than adequately shield the equipment facilities and antennas
and as such is consistent with the General Plan policies that encourage applicants to
reduce visual impacts to surrounding properties when siting facilities in or near
residential zones. Based on the foregoing, the project as approved is consistent with the
City's General Plan Land Use Element that designates this site for low density residential
uses and associated utilities and communication facilities.
The telecommunication facility consisting of a monopole designed as a tree/shrub
replacement of equipment cabinets, extensive new landscaping and extensive irrigation of
new and existing landscaping is consistent with the requirements of SSFMC Title 20,
Chapter 20.105 which requires maximizing the use of landscaping and technology to
shield telecommunication facilities from neighboring properties and using the best
"stealthy" technology to obscure the antennas.
o
The telecommunication facility consisting of a monopole designed as a tree/shrub
replacement of equipment cabinets, extensive new landscaping and irrigation of the new
and existing landscaping will not be adverse to the public health, safety or general
welfare of the community, or detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements. The
facility has been designed to comply with Federal, State and local health and safety
requirements and blend in with the existing surroundings, including the landscape,
consistent with the goals, policies and design criteria established in Chapter 20.105.
Conditions of approval have been required which will ensure that limits views of the
facility from surrounding areas and will improve views of the site.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council deny both appeals and uphold the Planning
Commission action to approve UP00-0025/MOD 1 & DR 00-0025/MOD 1 or take other
action.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
At the City Council meeting of August 11, 2004, the Council conducted a public hearing, took public
testimony and discussed the applicant's alternative of a landscaped above ground equipment enclosure.
The Council asked the AT&T representative to consult with his client to determine if AT&T would be
willing to help mitigate the visual effects of the above ground cabinets by making a financial contribution
to the City's art fund.
The applicant's representative, Howard Yee, reports that AT&T will make a voluntary financial
contribution as suggested by the City Council. An AT&T representative will attend the September 8th City
Council meeting to offer a contribution.
Alternatives gl and #2
The applicant's preferred design solution is identified as Alternative gl consisting of a nearly 4 foot
extension of the antenna pole resulting in a total height of 16 feet, placing a solid wood 8 foot tall fence
around the new taller 7.8 foot cabinets mounted on a larger concrete pad measuring 10.75 feet in length
and 5 feet in width. As part of the applicant's appeal, they propose to landscape the slope facing the street.
City staff did not support this alternative because it does not achieve the design stealthiness sought by the
Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission approved Alternative # 2 that includes a slightly larger antenna panel mounted
on a pole facing SR 280, and an underground vault housing new larger equipment cabinets. The pole
would be designed to appear as a tree or shrub. The equipment vault containing the taller cabinets and
larger concrete pad will not be visible from the residences across Avalon Drive because the design will
utilize an open metal grid in lieu of a solid roof. Had a solid roof been included, an above-ground access
hatchway and HVAC system would have been visible off-site.
Both Alternatives gl and #2 would operate on a 24/7 basis and require servicing one to two times per
month. The existing on-site aisleway and parking area will be adequate to meet the needs of the water
company and service technicians.
A Use Permit Modification was required because the proposed modifications represent significant changes
from the approved facility.

Summary of Bases for Appeal
UP 00-025/MOD1 & DR 00-02S/MOD I
1). City should fine AT&T for each day equipment is there illegally.
On or about Dec. 10, 2002, we notified planning department of AT&T replacing the
small cabinet with a much larger one. The Planning dept determined that AT&T had no permit
to make this change. At a neighborhood meeting on March 3, 2003, with AT&T representative,
Howard Yee, mentioned that within a week a decision would be made to resolve the problem,.
At the same meeting he was advised that if not, then the larger cabinet would have to be
removed. Now 1.5 years later AT&T has been allowed to have use of the larger cabinet.
There is an ordinance that allows the citY to impose a-DAILY fine to any party that makes a
violation.' This was not done. At the Planning Commission Meeting on February 19, 2004, Chief
Planner Sparks indicated that this issue was not important.. To further confirm their knowledge
of the violation, in the Staff report, 2/19/04,. there is clear knowledge of this infraction-dating'.
back to December, 2002. Chief Planner Sparks continues to say because of lack of resources
and case Icad, code enforcement is difficult.(Pianning Commission Meeting, 4/15/04). If the
fines were imposed, they Could be utilized towards' the Chief City Planner's lack of resources.
If there is no fine there is nothing to encourage AT&T to comply with the law. Therefore it is
irrelevant whether the city has sufficient resources to monitor violations.. Once. it knew of a
violation, it should have imposed the fine. Such would not have caused the city to incur
inordinate expense or time because all it had to do was impose the fine. Instead no fine was
imposed and it has taken 1.5 years for AT&T to work with the city re a proposed solution to the
problem..With out a fine, AT&T is encouraged to engage in delay. A fine would have
encouraged a strict compliance with local ordinances regulating cell phone towers. Chief
Planner Sparks admission that the city cannot (.which is not true) as demonstrated above, and
in effect, will not enfome local ordinances by imposing fines will only encourage more violators
of local ordinances re cell phone towers.
2).
Increased pole height from 13 feet to 16 feet
- not consistent with General Plan's goal of preserving residential neighborhood.
- inconsistent' with Ch 20.105's policy of minimizing visua! blight.
- past attempts at screening unsuccessful.
- no reason why cannot have 13 feet instead of 16 feet pole.
3).
Too many equipment cabinets.
- before had one cabinet 12.6'x 4.9'.
- AT&T wants 5 cabinets of unspecified size in an underground vault with dimensions:
14'Lx20'Wx 10'H.'
4).
More equipment means more maintenance.
-exacerbate already dangerous intersection @Canyon Court/Avalon Dr. due to parked
maintenance vehicles and trucks. Noise pollution and disturbance to residents
5).
Proximity to residential structures; less than 50 feet from .the nearest resident, infringe
upon privacy, and tranquility of nearby residents.
6). The California Water Department as a Property owner in SSF, should be required to
adhere to all the laws, codes and requirements as they are applied to the rest of the
residents in SSF. Presently they supposedly seem to be unaware of their tenant's
actions.

7).
8).
9).
10).
Double standards: One for the voters, taxpayers and residents of SSF and another for
Large corporations, such as AT&T, Bechtel and California Water Department.
The Westborough Way Homeowner's Association's rules do not allow homeowners
to install outside antennas, or make structural changes, without the explicit
approval of one's immediate neighbors. In this case 5 homes share the same fence
with site. None of their approval was obtained bY the owner of the property, the
California Water Department. Why are they exempt?
Cannot emphasize enough as to the location of this site. it is zone residential!
What does the City of SSF gain? Nothing! The profits are gained by AT&T a large
corporation outside' of our City and the landlord the California Water Department, based
in the East Bay. What do you have left? A group of very unhappy, voters, taxpayers
and long time residents of South San Francisco!

Dear Mayor Matsumot0 and Members of the City Council,
We begin with the City of South San Francisco's Mission Statement and Core Values:
The City 'of South San Francisco's mission is to provide a safe, attractive and well-maintained City
through excellent customer service and superior programs and to have a work ethic that will
enhance the Community's quality of life.
To that end, we will strive to nurture a partnership with the Community by recruiting a diverse
and:~.highly skilled workforce, be an active partner in quality education and attract and retain a
prosperous business community, all of which will foster community pride and understanding.
OurCore Values
The City and Employees of South San Francisco value our role in providing service to one another
and the community. As an organization we are committed to:
· Strengthening each other and the organization through dedicaUon and teamwork
· Recognizing and Respecting diversity and encouraging opinionsof the community and
workforce
· Committing to EXcellence and Service
· Encouraging creativity and supporting problem solving
· Accepting responsibility and accountability
· Demonstrating integrity and honesty in all aspects of service
· Promoting and maintaining open and constructive communication
· Encouraging skill development and professional growth
Because we strongly believe that the City's Mission Statement and Core Values have
been compromised, by a total lack of consideration to the residents and thus the
Community. We are hereby objecting to and requesting that the City Council, deny the
application for the modk~cafions as requested in the above-mentioned Use Permit.
As registered voters, taxpayers and residents averaging over 20 years of residence in this
City, we are appalled at the lack of consideration provided to us, by the City Planners and
the Planning Commission, which is contrary to the Mission Statement, "to provide a
safe, attractive and welt-maintained City".

The Core Values are comprised with words such as:
"Dedication and Teamwork" Pretty lopsided when Violators of the Codes being
large Corporations are let off the hook with "a letter of apologY to the residents".
Serious concern as to persons' making decision regarding SSF, when they do not
reside in SSF and one cannot help but ask "Which TEAM are they on?
"Recognizing and Respecting diversity and encouraging opinions of the
Community and Workforce" Who are they respecting, and just brushing aside
the Community's opinions?
"Accepting responsibility and accountability" To quote Mr. Sparks "this matter
was not that important" "lack of staff'.
"Demonstrating integrit3~ and honesty in all aspects of service". Why no fines?
Why are all of the requested enhancements being allowed?
"Promoting and maintaining open and constructive communication". Why is it
not necessary for the residents not to be provided.notification? The minutes of the
Planning Commission meetings do not accurately reflect the concerns, requests
and statements of the residents, i.e. Repeated requests by residents for a
complete inventory of the equ/pment installed at the California Water
Department Site!
Altached is the necessary documentation and forms requesting a review from the City
Council.
Please note our concerns are:
a) Double standards being applied to the residents of SSF vs. the blatant
favoritism and turning a blind eye to big corporations. No fines assessed for
nearly 2 years, against AT&T nor, Cal Water Service Company for illegally
installing and enjoying the privileges and profits of the upgrades made by
their contractor "Bechtel Corporation".
b) This is a residentially zoned area. Why, under any circumstances is AT&T or
Anyone else being allowed to modify and use this area for Commercial
Business?
c) No, a letter of apology fi:om these-big business is not acceptable, to the
Residents of the Area, as requested by the Planning Commission and yet,
Allowing AT&T, their. EVERY request as noted in the application for an
Use Permit? Which was supposedly provided at the Planning Commission
meeting on 6/3/04. However, NONE of the residents were noticed regarding
this meeting, and as indicated by Steve Carlson, Sr. Planner, nor was it
necessary.

In 2001, when another Cellular Company/Metro PCS requested Permission to install a
ceil phone tower, as per attached document over 250 voters and residents signed a
petition objecting to this installation. The planning commission denied this request and
we were secure in the belief that the residents were heard. Please be assured that while
the original signatures attached to this letter are few due to a lack of notification and time
c0nstraints we will have no hardship in obtaining additional signatures in the' future.
Here again in 2004, we seem to be fighting the same battle all over again. The only
exception is that AT&T, who in 2000, and by the lack of notification to the residents in
the area, was allowed to install a cell phone tower, on the premises of the Cai Water
Service Company, without any objections.
Once again, we are strongly objecting to allowing these enhancements to a large
corporation, who illegal/y, high handedly and without any Consideration to the residents
a~d laws of South San Francisco, performed its own modifications, that were previously
denied as not being within the required codes.
A~s'Elected Officials in SSF, we are requesting that a full investigation be conducted and
holding you the Mayor, and the-members of the City Council, to stand by the City of
South San Francisco's Mission Statement and Core Values.
in the final analysis lets not forget the fact that the location in question is ZONED '
RESIDENTIAL~
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.

RE: Use l%rmit Application UP-00-025/MOD1
Modifications to AT&T Wireless antenna site
Intersection of Crestwood Df.mad Avalon Dr.
BASIS FOR APPEAL
Applicant wishes to appeal the condition of approval requiring Applicam to build
Alternative 2, which places the approved facilities underground. Use of Alternative 2
goes beyond what is necessary to protect the general public from visual intrusions.
Applicant asks the Council to consider Alternative' 1 because it is completely consistent
with the City's design guidelines. It provides visual mitigations through use of wooden
fencing and landscaping elements added to the already-dense cover of greenery. AT&T
Wireless believes that it can provide a win-win solution for both parties by working with
the City and neighbors to develop more extensive bnclscape provisions than proposed in
Alternative 1, with the intent of reducing the visual impacts of the commnnications
facility and of the water tank~ as well.
Underground placement of communications facilities has been shown te lead to
increased likelihood of equipment failure due to moisture inundation, a very common
occurrence with vaulted facilities. Equipment fifilure results in endangerment of the
pUblic through imb'flity to place E-911 calls and other urgent communications while the
site is off-air. Also, undergrotmaing occasions much greater nnmbers of site visits than
with above-ground sites to maintain equipment or rectify problems, hence more activity
occurs at the underground site than at normal facilities.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Two neighborhood meetings were conducted; the first meeting was conducted in March
2003 and the second in November 2003. In preparation for each meeting over 100 notices
were sent to the surrounding area including residents of San Bmo and Homeowner
Associations. Each neighborhood meeting was advertised by a notice utilizing the same
list of property owners. The list was updated with each notice to assure it accurately
reflected the current property owners as possible. Notices were sent to the same property
owners for the Planning Commission meetings.
Neighborhood Meetings
The applicant conducted two neighborhood meetings the first on March 5, 2003 and the
second meeting on November 24, 2003. More than a dozen persons, including Council
member Garbariuo and Steve Carlson of the Planning Division staff, attended the first
meeting in March. At the meeting, the applicant reviewed the background, design of and
Radio Frequency Study prepared for the proposed project. The neighbors in attencl~ce
spoke in opposition and with concern regarding the adverse views of the facility and
potential adverse health effects associated with the operation of the facility. The
neighbors expressed their preference that the facility be dismantled and relocated to a
location away from their neighborhood.
After a considerable amount of time, the applicant chose to redesign the proposed project
to :increase the height of the antennas, retain the above ground equipment cabinets and an
8 foot tall fence to enclose the equipment cabinets.
The applicant conducted a second neighborhood meeting on November 24, 2003. The
meeting would have been conducted earlier, but some of the neighbors were not available
until November. Approximately 5 persons attended as well as the applicant and Steve
Carlson. The applicant reviewed the revised design of the proposed project, including
both Alternatives #1 and #2. The neighbors (most or all of whom attended the previous
meeting) spoke in opposition reiterating concerns expressed at the previous meeting
including adverse views and potential health effects.

replace them with larger antennas.
Harold Yee, AT&T representative, noted that they propose to'remove the two existing antennas and 4 antennas.
He added that the antennas will be mounted 2 feet above the l~-foot pole, and ask that Condition of Approval

The/r comments were:
· The neighborhood has opposed cellular antennas on site since they first became aware of them a couple
of years ago.
· In December 2002, a large cabinet was installed without City permits;
· ,l'hey noted that AT&T is responsible for an illegal addition to the site and they should be fined and
~denied per previously denied permits. If someone installs an illegal room, they are required by the City
~o either bring it up to code or tear down the illegal addition. AT&T should be fined for each day they
~have violated City requirements. AT&T should not be rewarded with enhancements. There may be
health hazards for the. elderly and others in the area being exposed to GMF emission 'on a dally basis.
A'I'&T violated City requirements and if the Commission approves the Use Permit, they will set a
.:precedent and other wireless companies may install antennas illegally.
Public Headng closed.
Cornrn/ss/oner's concerns:
· The Commission cannot discuss health effects because it is pre-empted by federal law.
· Alternative 2 is entirety consistent with the telecommunications ordinance and is aesthetically pleasing.
· They were offended that the best in stealthing has not been adhered to.
· %How many cell sites are in the City? Senior Planner Carlson stated 20-30 sites.
· The above ground equipment cabinets in Alternative :[ does not add anything to the environment and a
redesign of the antenna's needed.
· This application is not only to correct unauthorized installation of the cabinets, but to get additional
panels.
· The applicant is asking for more than what the Use Permit and the Conditions of Approval authorize.
The Commission recommended that the proposal be worked on with staff and expedited to return to the
Commission with a resolution or removal of the tank. Chief Planner SparKs stated that the Commission can start
the Use Permit revocation process. He suggested continuing the item to April :15, 2004 to altow AT&T to work
with staff,
Commissioner Sim asked for a list of cell sites in the City. Senior Planner Carlson asked if the Commission would
like to have another community meeting. They felt that a neighborhood meeting was not needed.

· One speaker asked why the violation that AT&T has committed at the site has not been addressed by the City.
· They noted that AT&T is responsible for an illegal addition to the site and they should be fined and denied this
modification. If a resident installs an illegal room, they are required by the City to either bring it up to code or tear
down the illegal addition.
· They were concerned that the site would become an antenna farm.
· There currently is not any stealthing technology at the site.
· Pictures of Avalon Drive and Canyon Court were submitted into the record because the neighbors were concerned
that large trucks would be accessing the site would create traffic congestion.
Chief Planner Sparks responded to the issues on AT&T installing equipment without permits and addressing the violation.
He noted that because there is a lack of resources and the caseload that Code Enforcement currently has it is difficult to
-35-
Planning Commission Meeting of April 15, 2004
monitor the illegal aspects of this application. He added that the applicant and staff do acknowledge that AT&T should not
have done any modification without permits and are trying to correct it.
Public Hearing closed.
Vice Chairperson Teglia noted that the site has a
long history. Noticing has improved since the first
application. He added that he preferred alternative
number 2 and leaving condition number 4 as is
without the height increase. He questioned if there
is a way to restrict access to the site to certain times
Senior Planner Carlson noted that the Commission
could add a condition of approval to achieve this. He
added that during construction there would be large
vehicles there, but after that is complete a technician
come out once a month in a passenger size vehicle.
Mr. Yee added that the technicians would arrive at the
site with their own vehicle.
Commissioner Honan asked that AT&T apologize to
the City Council, neighbors and the Planning
Commission for allowing this illegal modification to
the current Cell site.
She asked what the City could do to require this
apology.
Mr. Yee noted that'.the he had expressed AT&T's
regrets to the Commission and neighbors, He stated
that AT&T contracts out to several agencies, which
then subcontract other companies, and this particular
subcontractor did not request the proper permits.
Assistant City Attorney 3ohnson noted that the
Commission could require an AT&T employee address
the Commission on this issue.
Commissioner Zemke noted that AT&T should inform
the City what procedures and measures are being
~taken to prevent another incident such as this one.
Chief Planner Sparks suggested that the Commission
require as part of the Conditions of Approval that
AT~T submit the apology letter prior to issuance of a
-Building Permit.
The Commission agreed that regardless of the subcontractors involved in this issue the responsible party is AT&T because it
is their antenna and further agreed to invite them to a Planning Commission meeting in order to receive the information
requested directly from the AT&T Corporation.

anxious to add more antennas and immediately after the approval and appeal period they can start the
manufacturing of the tree and submit plans to the city. The entire process should be complete in 3-6 months.
Commissioner Honan felt that the improvements needed a time frame to adhere to. Senior Planner Carlson
suggested a 6-month review.
Commissioner Romero noted that the underground cabinet needs to be installed as soon as possible. He noted
that he did not want to see any additional panels installed until the stealthing has been completely worked out
with staff and approved.

The Commission waived the reading of the staff report.
Tim Tosta, Attorney representing Project 101, noted that the market for which the project was originally targeted
evaporated very quickly. The proposal before the Commission is for modifications to the site, which will bring
revenue to the City in an interim period. He asked that the Planning Commission approve the current plan with a
modification, because of a long-standing agreement with Fitness West. He asked that the building improvements
be deferred for :[20 days because they will submit a new redevelopment plan within the deferred period. He
added that this allows Fitness West to operate their business with an approval on their current application.
Mr. Tosta asked for a deferral on the building improvements because it will not be cost effective to do the
improvements and then have an alternative plan submitted for a retail center on the :[O-acre parcel. He added
that the Commission is being asked to abate the implementation of the conditions for an interim period to allow
for a redevelopment plan to be submitted. He showed the Commission the current proposal.
Assistant City Attorney .~0hnson noted that the applicant needs to specify which conditions of approval they need
to defer and if it is the exterior only including landscaping because there are other types of conditions tied to the
approval of the permit. Mr. Tosta noted that they are asking for all the Conditions of Approval to be deferred.

BACKGROUND:
The 0.44 acre site is improved with a water tsnk and landscaping with access from Avalon Drive

In spring 2002, the applicant's contractor applied for a building permit to in~tall larger cabinets
replacing the existing cabinets. City staff advised the applicant to apply for a Use Permit
Modification and denied issuance of the Building Permit. Several months later the contractor
installed the cabinets without benefit of approval by the City. On complaints received from
nearby residents regarding the construction, City staff immediately contacted the applicant who
shortly afterwards applied for a Use Permit.
DISCUSSION:
The original wireless facility was approved to be comprised of a 13 foot tall mono-pole with two
8 foot tall panel antennas mounted directly to the mono-pole near the freeway, several equipment
cabinets approximately 6 feet in height, on a concrete pad nearly 9 feet in length and 4 feet in
width, and landscaping to screen the facilities.
Alternatives #1 and #2
The applicant's preferred design solution is identified as Alternative #J consisting of a nearly 4
foot extension of the antc'nna pole resulting in a total height of 16 feet, placing a solid wood 8
foot tall fence around the new taller 7.8 foot cabinets mounted on a larger concrete pad
measuring 10.75 feet in length and 5 feet in width. City staff does not support this alternative
because it does not achieve the design stealthiness sought by the Planning Commission.
The proposed project supported by City staff~ identified by the applicant as ~ilternatire # 2
includes no extension of the existing antenna pole facing SR 280, and underground vault housing
new larger equipment cabinets. The equipment vault conta/ning the taller cabinets and larger
concrete pad will not be visible from the residences across Avalon Drive because the design will
utilize au open metal grid in lieu cfa solid roof. l-lad a solid roof been included then au above
ground access hatchway and I-IVAC system would have been visible off-site.
Both Alternatives #1 and #2 would operate on a 24/7 basis and require still require servicing one
to two times per month. The existing on-site aisleway and parking area will be adequate to meet
the needs of the water company and service technicians.
A Use P~mit Modification is required because the proposed modifications represent significant
changes from the approved facility.
DESIGN RESrlEW BOARD
The project, including both Alternatives #1 and #2, was reviewed by the Design R. eview Board
their meetings o£June 17, 2003 and September 16, 2003.

At the June meetin~ the Board had the following comments:
1. Alternative #1 should feature heavy landscaping and a solid redwood fence
around the cabinets.
2. Paint tower-mounted amplifiers to match the existing antennas..
The applicant revised the plans to incorporate the Design Review Board comments and
resubmitted the plans.
At the second meeting in September the Board recommended approval of the project with the
fonowing comments:
1. Protect the root systems of the existing trees during construction.
:2. Replace trees to be removed at the vault site with new 5-gallon trees.
The applicant's preferred Alternative #1 includes new antenm,q that will be visible from SI[ 280
and nearby residences. The visibility of the antennas can be reduced somewhat by adcling more
screening along the slope between the antennas and Avalon Drive, painting the pole 'and antennas
to blend in with the trees and landscaping, and/or relocating them behind the water tank,
For both alternatives the landscape screen along the slope adjacent to Avalon Drive needs to be
intensified so that the proposed facilities are adequately screened. City staff recommends that the
laudscaping be comprised of specimen size trees and shrubs planted at a sufficient density to
screen views of the facility fzom the residences across Avalon Drive.
The applicant's letter identifies how they believe the preferred design achieves the City's
wireless communication facility design objectives contained in SSFMC 20.105.030 (d).
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Two neigttborhood meetings were conducted; the first meeting was conducted in March 2003
and the second in'November 2003. In preparation for each meeting over 100 notices were sent to
the surrouurling area including residents of San Bruno and Homeowner Associations, Each
neighborhood meeting was advertised by a notice utilizing the same list of property owners. 'The
list was updated with each notice to assure it accurately reflected the current propergr owners as
possible. Notices were sent to the same prop~y owners for the February 5, 2004 Piarmmg

The applicant conducted two neighborhood meetings the first on March 5, 2003 and the second
meeting on November 24, 2003. More than a dozen persons, including Council member
Garbarino and a myself, attended the first meeting in March. At the meeting, the apphcant
reviewed the background, design of and Radio Frequency Study prepared for the proposed
project. The neighbors in attendance spoke in opposition and with concern regarding the adverse
views of the facility and potential adverse health effects associated with the operation of the
facility. The neighbors expressed their preference that the facility be dismantled and relocated to
a location away from their neighborhood.
After a considerable mount of time, the applicant chose to redesign the proposed project to
increase the'height of the antennas, retain the above ground equipment cabinets and an 8 foot tall
fence to enclose the equipment cabinets.
~The applicant conducted a second neighborhood meeting on November 24, 2003. The meeting
would have been conducted earlier, but some o£the neighbors.were not available until
'November. Approximately 5 persons attended as well as the applicant and myself. The applicant
reviewed the revised design of the proposed project, including both Alternatives #1 and #2. The
.neighbors (most or all of whom attended the previous meeting) spoke in opposition reiterating
concerns .expressed at the previous meeting including adverse views and potential health effects.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
City staff has determined that the proposed project does not have the potential to cause a
si~iScant environmental effect and is therefore categorically exempt pursuant to the provisions
of Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Because the
project has been determined to be exempt, the Planning Commission is not required to taken any
action on the environmental dom~ment.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Alternative #2 complies with City development standards, including the Antenna and Tower
design requirements contained in SSFMC Section 20.105.030 (d), and is compaU'ble with the
adjacent residences in the immediate project vicinity. Therefore, it is recommended that the
Planning Commission approve 1). Use Permit Modification allowing a wireless communication
facility, consisting of the extension of ground mounted antenna and replacement of at-grade
equipment cabinets with an underground vault and, 2). Design Review of a wireless
communication facility, consisting of the extension of ground mounted antenna and replacement

aesthetically pleasing.
Several neighboring residents spoke in opposition to the'project and to the existing facility-
preferring that it be relocated to another neighborhood. The neighborhood has opposed cellular
antenlan~ on the project site since they first became aware of them a couple of years ago.
The Comr~ssioners directed the matter be continued to the Planuing Commission meeting of
June 3, 2004, that the applicant obtain a letter of apology from the wireless communication
vendor and send a company representative to the meeting. The letter is attached to the staff report
and a company rePresentative will attend the meeting to offer and apology and explain the
company's procedures to m~n~rni~,.e any future occurrences of construction without necessary City
approvals.
PREVIOUS CITY ACTIONS
The 0.44 acre site is improved with a water tank and landscaping with access from Avalon Drive
opposite Canyon Court. On June 15, 2000 Planning Commission approved a wireless ,
communication facility consisting of ground mounted antenna and at grade equipment cabinets.
The applicant constructed the facility with au approved Building Pea-mit.
In spring 2002, the applicant's contractor applied for a building permit to install larger cabinets
rePlacing the existing cabinets. City staff advised the applicant to apply for a Use Permit
Mod{fication and denied issuance of the Building permit. Several months later the contractor
installed the cabinets without benefit of approval by the City. On complaints received from
nearby residents regarding the oonstrucfion, City staff'irnr~¢diatc!y contacted the applicant who~
shortly afterwards applied for a Use Permit. "
DISCUSSION:
The original wireless facility was approved to be comprised cfa 13 foot tall mono-pole with two
8 foot tall panel antennas mounted directly to the mono-pole near the freeway, several equipment
cabinets approximately 6 feet in height, on a concrete pad nearly 9 feet in length and 4 feet in
width, and landscaping to screen the facilities.
PUBLIC PARTICIPA~TION
Notices were sent to the surrounding area including residents of San Bruno and Homeowner
Associations u~li~ng the previous though updated ~ o£property owners. The list was updated
with each notice to assure it accurately reflected the current property owners as possible. Notices
were sent to the same property owners for the previous Planning Comm~esion meetings.

ENVIRONMENTAL RE.VIEW
City staff has determined that the proposed project does not have the potential to cause a
si~i~cant environmental effect mad is therefore categorically exempt pursuant to the provisions
of Section 15061(b)(3) of the' California Environmental Quality Act (cEQA). Because the
project has been determined to be exempt, the Pimaning Commission is not required to taken may
action on the environmental document.

RECO~NDATION
It is recommended that the City Council deny both appeals and uphold the Planning
Commission action to approve UP00-0025/MOD 1 & DR 00-0025/MOD 1.
BACKGROUND
On June 3, 2004, the Planning Commission approved UP00-0025fMOD 1. The application had
been the subject of two neighborhood meetings, a few design modifications, a verbal and written
apology and explanation of new procedures to minimize any future occurrences of construction
without necessary City approvals by an AT&T representative, and several Planning Commission
hearings, from January 2003 to June 2004.
The approved plan (known as Alternative #2) included a redesigned monopole, resembling a tree
or shrub. The Planuing Commission determined that the redesigned monopole with the
underground equipment vault would be indistinguishable from the adjacent landscaping,
consistent with the telecommunications ordinance, and aestheticallypleasing.
The Planning Commission rejected the applicant's proposed project consisting of the redesigned
monopole with an above ground equipment cabinet enclosed by a wood fence. The Commission
felt that the equipment facility, even with additional landscaping on the slope facing the street,
would be more visible and would not be consistent with the design requirements for antenna
facilities (SSFMC Chapter 20.1050 and that the applicant had not provided adequate, justification
that the equipment facility could not be placed in an underground vault.
At all of the Planning Commission meetings and at the neighborhood meetings, neighboring
residents spoke in opposition to the project and to the existing facility- requesting that it be
relocated to another neighborhood. The neighborhood has opposed cellular antennas on the
project site since they first became aware of them a couple of years ago. Residents had previously
sent letters to the City Council expressing their opposition.
Minutes of the Planning Commission meetings and the staff reports are attached to this staff
report.
PREVIOUS CITY ACTIONS
The 0.44 acre site is contain,~ a California Water Service Company water tank and landscaping.
Access is from Avalon Drive opposite Canyon Court. On June 15, 2000 Planning Commission
approved a wireless communication facility consisting of ground mounted antenna and at grade
equipment cabinets. The applicant constructed the facility with au approved Building Permit.

Page 3 of 5
In spring 2002, the applicant's contractor applied for a building permit to install larger cabinets
replacing the existing cabinets. City staff advised the applicant to apply for a Use Permit
Modification and denied issuance of the Building permit. Several months later the contractor
installed the cabinets without benefit of approval by the City. On complaints received from
nearby residents regarding the construction, City staffimmediately contacted the applicant who
shortly afterwards applied for a Use Permit.
OriQnal Wireless Facili _ty
The original wireless facility approved consisted of a 13 foot tall monopole with two 8 foot tall
panel antennas mounted directly to the mono-pole near the freeway, several equipment cabinets
approximately 6 feet in height, on a concrete pad nearly 9 feet in length and 4 feet in width, and
landscaping to-screen the facilities.
Alternatives #1 and #2
The applicant's preferred design solution is identified as Alternative #1 consisting of a nearly 4
foot extension of the antenna pole resulting in a total height of 16 feet, placing a solid wood 8
foot tall fence around the new taller 7.8 foot cabinets mounted on a larger, concrete pad
measuring 10.75 feet in length and 5 feet in width. As part of the applicant's appeal, they
propose to landscape 'the slope facing the street. City staff did not support this alternative because.
it does not achieve the design stealthiness sought by the Planni3g Commission.
The Planning Commi~qsion approved Alternative # 2 that includes a slightly larger antenna panel
mounted on a pole facing SR 280, and au underground vault housing new larger equipment
cabinets. The pole would be designed to appeal as a tree or shrub. The equipment vault
containing the taller cabinets and larger concrete pad will not be visible from the residences
across Avalon Drive because the design will utilize au open metal grid in lieu of a solid roo£
Had a solid roof been included, an aboverground access hatchway and I-IVAC system would have
been visible off-site.
Both Alternatives #1 and #2 would operate on a 24/7 basis and require servicing one to two times
per month. The existing on-site aisleway and parkiug area will be adequate to meet the needs of
the water company and service technicians.
A Use Permit Modification was required because the proposed modifications represent
significant changes from the approved facility.
ENVIRONMENTAL RE¥[EW
City staffhas determined that the proposed project does not have the potential to cause a
significant environmental effect and is therefore categorically exempt pursuant to the provisions
of Section 15061Co)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Because the
-56-

project has been determined to be exempt, the Planning Commission is not required to taken any
action on the environmental document.
APPEALS
Two appeals have been filed.
Appeal 1 was filed by Marge Sieux, a neighborhood resident. The appeal objects to the facility
being located in the residential neighborhood and request that the City Council deny the project
and require the removal of the existing wireless commuuication facility. The appeal includes
more specific justification, a petition, letter and photographs.
The applicant, AT&T, is also appealing the Planniug Commission's action. The applicant is
requesting that the City Council reverse the Planning Commission approval of Alternative #2 and
approve instead a revised Alternative gl, which includes above-ground equipment cabinets in a
fenced enclosure. Landscaping of the slope between the equipment cabinets and the street would
be installert The plans and photo simulations are attached.
The plan,q and the landscaping concept were not deemed an adequate design solution by the
Planning Commission (although the Commissioners did not have an opportunity to review the
landscape photo simulation as the applicant has only made these recently available). The
Planning Commission preferred then underground vault as the optimal stealthy solution. The
slope appearance however, could be greatly improved with landscaping. After the Commission
action, the applicant's representative recently conducted a neighborhood review of the proposed
plan,q. The applicant reported that few persons attended and some residents expressed interest in
having the slope landscaped.
City staff supports the landscaping of the slope but not the above-ground placement of the
equipment cabinets.
Both appeals area attached to this staff report.
CONCLUSION:
The project as approved by the Plauuing Commission (Alternative #2) complies with the City
development standards, inclucliug the Antenna and Tower design requirements contained in
SSFMC Section 20.105.030 (d), and is visually compatible with the adjacent residences in the
immediate project vicinity. The existing wireless communication was approved at a duly noticed
Planuing Commission and is providing a service to the community. The applicant's revised
Alternative #1 does not comply with City development standards and is less visually compatible
with the neighborhood. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council deny both appeals
and uphold the Plann/ng Commission approval of the I). Use Permit Modification allowing a
wireless commul/ication facility, consisting of the extension of ground mounted antenna and
